Choppy Market EMA IdentificationThis indicator could be used to identify choppy Market Conditions based on the EMA.
It is an EMA that could be configured to only show up, if the last 1..n candles are NOT crossing the EMA in any direction.
I figured out that lower timeframes ( < 30 min) often the price bounces around the 200 EMA and gives lot of false signals using different strategies.
So i decided to write a small indicator to avoid taking trades in those market conditions.
The Indicator could be configured for the length of the EMA and how many crosses must be happened in the defined numbers of candles.

Candlestick Channels [LuxAlgo]Candlestick Channels return channels whose extremities converge towards the price when a corresponding candlestick pattern is detected. This allows for us to obtain more reactive extremities in the presence of a cluster of candlestick patterns.
The detected candlestick patterns are also highlighted with labels on your chart automatically.
Settings
Trend Length: Period of the stochastic oscillator used to determine trend sentiment; this sentiment is used to detect certain candlestick patterns.
Convergence: Convergence percentage of the channel extremities used during the occurrence of a candlestick pattern. A lower value will return extremities converging more slowly toward the price.
Smooth: Determines the degree of smoothness of the channel extremities.
Patterns
This category determines which patterns are detected by the indicator. Patterns toggled off will not be detected and won't affect the channels.
Usage
Candlesticks patterns are commonly used by traders to detect potential reversals or continuation periods in the price. It can be of interest to use them as core elements in the calculation of more classical indicators, this can allow us to filter out potential false signals returned by candlestick patterns by shifting the source of interpretation towards the channel extremities instead.
In this indicator extremities converge towards the price when a corresponding pattern is detected. As such bullish patterns will make the upper extremity converge towards the price, facilitating a cross with price. Using a lower convergence percentage will require a greater number of patterns to make the extremity converge closer towards the price.
Users can use the channel like most indicators returning extremities, with an uptrend being detected when price cross over the upper extremity and a downtrend being detected when price cross under the lower extremity.
An approach solely making use of crosses between the price and the average line can be used but the user should expect further whipsaws signals.
Users can eventually use the candlestick patterns as entries and use the extremities for confirmation. For example, users can follow a candlestick pattern return an indication in accordance with the detected trend by the channels.
This approach would lead to the following of bullish patterns when they occur in an uptrend, that is when the price is above the average line (in orange). The same logic applies to bearish patterns.
The chart above highlights the candlesticks patterns in accordance with a detected trend.
Notes
- Bullish/Bearish engulfing patterns are turned off by default due their more frequent appearance.
- Candlestick patterns relying on gaps were not included, since they would be more uncommon in cryptocurrencies, thus leading to a disparity between the indicator performance on the cryptocurrency and stock market.
Price Action CandlesThis simple script provides a visual aid for price action traders by coloring outside & inside candles, which in effect leaves the trader with 6 possible candle colors:
-Regular bullish candle
-Outside bullish candle
-Inside bullish candle
-Regular bearish candle
-Outside bearish candle
-Inside bearish candle
These candlesticks may provide powerful signals when used in conjunction with key levels, market structure and chart patterns.
Make sure to disable the regular candlesticks (body, borders and wicks) in the symbol tab inside the configuration menu!
Hope it can help someone!
Constantly Applied Pressure Index (CAP index)BINANCE:ETHUSDT
The CAP index is my own homebrew trend indicator made to help traders see the slightly bigger picture, because we all know that as traders we can tend to hyper-focus in on a few candles and end up making a stupid trade because of it, or is it just me ? On a more serious note this indicator helps you find the short term trend by looking at bullish and bearish candles comparing their sizes, volumes and predominance.
The indicator has many technical settings for you to play around with but on the defaults it will render in a few colors which I will explain. Gray means no trend or that the current trend has died, bright green or red mean that a trend has formed, is playing out or that there is a good change a strong trend is about to form. Obviously green means bullish and red means bearish. Finally darker green and red mean a weak or weakening trend, this serves as a warning if you are about to take a trade in the trend direction.
The way I recommend using the indicator is the same way many trend indicators are used, as a filter to either a different indicator creating trading signals or to your own strategy's signals. I would add an illustration here that I prepared but I cannot because of tradingview's reputation rules
V Bottom & V Top Pattern [Misu]█ This indicator shows V bottom & V top patterns as well as potential V bottom & V top.
These V bottom & V top are chart powerful reversal patterns.
They appear in all markets and time-frames, but due to the nature of the aggressive moves that take place when a market reverses direction, it can be difficult to identify this pattern in real-time.
To address this problem, I added potential V pattern as well as the confirmed one.
█ Usages:
You can use V top & V bottoms for reversal zones.
You can use it for scalping strategies, as a main buy & sell signal.
Potential V patterns can be used to anticipate the market, in addition to volatility or momentum indicators, for example.
█ How it works?
This indicator uses pivot points to determine potential V patterns and confirm them.
Paramaters are available to filter breakouts of varying strengths.
Patterns also have a "max number bars" to be validated.
█ Why a Strategy type indicator?
Due to the many different parameters, this indicator is a strategy type.
This way you can overview the best settings depending on your pair & timeframe.
Parameters are available to filter.
█ Parameters:
Deviation: Parameter used to calculate parameters.
Depth: Parameter used to calculate parameters.
Confirmation Type: Type of signal used to confirme the pattern.
> Mid Pivot: pattern will confirm on mid pivot breakout.
> Opposit Pivot: pattern will confirm on opposit pivot breakout.
> No confirmation: no confirmation.
Lenght Avg Body: Lenght used to calculate the average body size.
First Breakout Factor: This factor multiplied by the "body avg" filters out the non-significant breakout of potential V pattern.
Confirmation Breakout Factor: This factor multiplied by the "body avg" filters out the non-significant breakout for the confirmation.
Max Bars Confirmation: The maximum number of bars needed to validate the pattern.
Mark StructureMark Structure is building the market swing structure, minor and sub structure and marks all possible insignificant pivots
Building such structure is really complex task to do, that has a lot of obstacles and challenges. I'm doing my best to develop this indicator behaving in absolutely expectable and right way. Fill free to leave any comments or bug reports.
it supports:
- Marking all pivots with labels or join them continuously with trend lines.
- Marking minor and sub structured swings with labels or join them continuously with trend lines. Marking BOS or SMS BOS, which are mbos. Minor and substructure are structures inside swing structure and it can differ from the structure of lower timeframe
- Marking swings of swing structure with labels or join them continuously with trend lines. Marking BOS or SMS BOS of swing structure
- Changing bullish and bearish colors of each kind of structures
- Changing pivot labelings
- Changing colors of BOSs
Remarks:
- As I told you guys before, it has a lot of challenging cases. eg we have swing low and high on the same candle and in order to decide which pivot goes first I take lower time frame data to figure out what pivot is the first, but it happens that on lower time frame the same issue takes place, due to limitation of TradingView I can't go infinitely to lower timeframes to solve this issue, so I mark those cases with labels
- Another issue is very beginning of the trend its hard to detect swing structure there due to missing historical data. so skip a few waves in the very beginning
- Don't expect to have minor and sub structure in each swing waves, its totally fine when you don't have them at all
- Swing structure is the most significant structure and shows real price direction. Trend change is confirmed when for bull->bear the last HLbull LH>HH and HH-HL-HH are confirmed. You can change labelling for unconfirmed swing trend in the settings. By default its already done
Mark FVGsMark FVGs is marking FVG (stands for Fair Value Gap, other name is Imbalance or IMB) on your chart so that you can instantly detect them
It supports:
- marking bullish and bearish partly filled or unfilled FVGs of the current timeframe
- marking bullish and bearish already filled FVGs of the current timeframe
- marking bullish and bearish FVGs of the any 4 timeframes on your current timeframe
technically it re-builds them on the last bar or as soon as new realtime bar is updated. it looks with 1k bars back to find the nearest specific number of FGVs
Adjustments:
- changing the maximum number of FVGs to display.
- changing the color of FVG area
- displaying already filled FVG of the current time frame
- changing the mode of displaying area it can either extended or fixed width
- displaying labels of other time frame FVGs
Inside Bar HighlightInside Bar have at least 2 candles.
They include one mother candle and multiple child candles. Mother candle will cover whole child candles ( child candles have high and low within mother candle)
This script will highlight Inside Bars
How to use :
When we analyze market structure, we can combine mother candle and children candles and see them as a candle.
This script will help us do this easily.
Opens, Closes, Highs and Lows.Hello Traders, the script below is designed to display the monthly, weekly, previous days' and current days' open, close, high and low.
I designed it to assist in top down analysis by knowing the monthly and weekly opens and closes it makes it a lot easier to make trading decisions on the lower timeframes.
As the user you can choose which price values you'd like displayed on the chart by selecting them in the user inputs.
Enjoy!!
SubCandleI created this script as POC to handle specific cases where not having tick data on historical bars create repainting. Happy to share if this serves purpose for other coders.
What is the function of this script?
Script plots a sub-candle which is remainder of candle after forming the latest peak.
Higher body of Sub-candle refers to strong retracement of price from its latest peak. Color of the sub-candle defines the direction of retracement.
Higher wick of Sub-candle refers to higher push in the direction of original candle. Meaning, after price reaching its peak, price retraced but could not hold.
Here is a screenshot with explanation to visualise the concept:
Settings
There is only one setting which is number of backtest bars. Lower timeframe resolution which is used for calculating the Sub-candle uses this number to automatically calculate maximum possible lower timeframe so that all the required backtest windows are covered without having any issue.
We need to keep in mind that max available lower timeframe bars is 100,000. Hence, with 5000 backtest bars, lower timeframe resolution can be about 20 (100000/5000) times lesser than that of regular chart timeframe. We need to also keep in mind that minimum resolution available as part of security_lower_tf is 1 minute. Hence, it is not advisable to use this script for chart timeframes less than 15 mins.
Application
I have been facing this issue in pattern recognition scripts where patterns are formed using high/low prices but entry and targets are calculated based on the opposite side (low/high). It becomes tricky during extreme bars to identify entry conditions based on just the opposite peak because, the candle might have originated from it before identifying the pattern and might have never reached same peak after forming the pattern. Due to lack of tick data on historical bars, we cannot use close price to measure such conditions. This leads to repaint and few unexpected results. I am intending to use this method to overcome the issue up-to some extent.
Inside Bar SetupScript Details
- This script plots Inside Bar for given day in selected time-frame (applicable only for Timeframes < Day)
- Basis plotted inside bar, relevant targets are marked on the chart
- Targets can be customised from script settings. Example, if range of mother candle is 10 points, then T1 is 10 * x above/below mother candle and T2 is 10 * y above/below mother candle. This x & y are configured via script settings
How to use this script ?
- This script works well on 10-15 mins timeframe for stocks, 15/30 mins timeframe for nifty index and 30/60 mins time frame for bank nifty index
- If mother candle high is broken, take long trade with SL of mother candle low and if low is broken, take short trade with SL of mother candle high
Remember:
1. Above logic is to be combined with support/resistances i.e. price action. This script is an add-on to price action analysis giving you more conviction.
2. If range of mother candle is very high, it is recommended to avoid the trade.
3. Basis inside bar formed on higher time frame, take trade on basis of lower time frame i.e if inside bar is formed on 60 mins, take trade on the basis of 10-15 mins time frame
Example:
1. As seen in the chart, Nifty is near it's resistance and we are seeing Inside Bar being formed, In such scenario, even if High of Mother Candle is broken, we should be more interested to short as we are near resistance and probability of getting our targets in long side is less.
2. So, if I see breakdown of mother candle i.e. price going below low of mother candle, we will short with SL of high of mother candle.
3. As seen in the chart, both the targets are achieved.
Additional Info:
1. Targets on Long/Short Side can be configured via settings. For indices 1 times/1.5 times the range works well.
2. This script plots targets basis the first inside bar formed in the day for selected time frame.
3. Inside bars formed through out the day are coloured separately but lines are plotted only on the basis of 1st formed inside bar as this strategy works well for the first formed inside bar)
4. Don't forget to check volume in case of breakout/breakdown.
Note:
1. Mother Candle - First Candle of Inside Bar
2. Child Candle - Candle formed inside Mother Candle (Second Candle of Inside Bar)
Happy Trading :)
Heinkin-Ashi Shadow Candles// Public Domain
// By JollyWizard
// For overlaying Heikin Ashi candles over basic charts, or for use in it's own panel as an oscillator.
// Enjoy the visual cues of HA candles, without giving up price action awareness.
// Good for learning and comparison.
MTF Heikinashi BarOVERVIEW
This indicator shows whether Heikin Ashi is up or down, represented by a bar. This indicator is compatible with MTF.
CONCEPTS
What do you want to know about market analysis?
Do you want a hard analysis? You can look for it.
All I want to know is whether the commonly known technical analysis is 'UP' or 'DOWN'.
All I want to know is whether the current market price is going up or down. Not only for the current, but also for the monthly, weekly, and daily status.
I want to make a decision in a moment. Without even thinking about it.
That is why I created a color-coded bar indicator to show the status.
No need to frown anymore.
DETAILS
Heikin means average. Ashi means legs. In this case, it means a candle.
Close = (Close + Open + High + Low) / 4

Heikin Ashi Up ⇒ green
Heikin Ashi Down ⇒ red
Trade HourThis script is just finds the best hour to buy and sell hour in a day by checking chart movements in past
For example if the red line is on the 0.63 on BTC/USDT chart it mean the start of 12AM hour on a day is the best hour to buy (all based on
It's just for 1 hour time-frame but you can test it on other charts.
IMPORTANT: You can change time Zone in strategy settings.to get the real hours as your location timezone
IMPORTANT: Its for now just for BTC/USDT but you can optimize and test for other charts...
IMPORTANT: A green and red background color calculated for show the user the best places of buy and sell (green : positive signal, red: negative signals)
settings :
timezone : We choice a time frame for our indicator as our geo location
source : A source to calculate rate of change for it
Time Period : Time period of ROC indicator
About Calculations:
1- We first get a plot that just showing the present hour as a zigzag plot
2- So we use an indicator ( Rate of change ) to calculate chart movements as positive and negative numbers. I tested ROC is the best indicator but you can test close-open or real indicator or etc as indicator.
3 - for observe effects of all previous data we should indicator_cum that just a full sum of indicator values.
4- now we need to split this effects to hours and find out which hour is the best place to buy and which is the best for sell. Ok we should just calculate multiple of hour*indicator and get complete sum of it so:
5- we will divide this number to indicator_cum : (indicator_mul_hour_cum) / indicator_cum
6- Now we have the best hour to buy! and for best sell we should just reverse the ROC indicator and recalculate the best hour for it!
7- A green and red background color calculated for show the user the best places of buy and sell that dynamically changing with observing green and red plots(green : positive signal, red: negative signals) when green plot on 15 so each day on hour 15 the background of strategy indicator will change to 15 and if its go upper after some days and reached to 16 the background green color will move to 16 dynamically.
50% Strat RetracementThe purpose of this script is to show/alert you when there is a 50% Strat Reversal. It works very well to find possible 3 candles.
The arrows, and line can be turned on and off.
You can change the 50% to say 45% so that you will be alerted before it actually hits the 50% retracement.
The script will only alert if the reversal is a 2up red candle, a 2up green candle which will hopefully turn into a 3 candle.
3LS | 3 Line Strike Strategy [Kintsugi Trading]What is the 3LS | 3 Line Strike Strategy?
Incorporating the 3 Line Strike candlestick pattern into our strategy was inspired by Arty at The Moving Average and the amazing traders at TheTrdFloor .
The Three Line Strike is a trend continuation candlestick pattern consisting of four candles. Depending on their heights and collocation, a bullish or a bearish trend continuation can be predicted.
In a symphony of trend analysis, price action, and volume we can find and place high-probability trades with the 3LS Strategy.
How to use it!
----- First, start by choosing a Stop-Loss Strategy, Stop PIP Size, and Risk/Reward Ratio -----
- Stop-Loss Strategy
Fixed PIP Size – This uses the top/bottom of the indicator candle and places a TP based on the chosen Risk:Reward ratio.
ATR Trail (No set Target Profit, only uses ATR Stop)
ATR Trail-Stop (Has set Target Profit, however, stop is based on ATR inputs)
**If you choose an ATR Stop-Loss Strategy - input the desired ATR period and Multiple you would like the stop to be calculated at**
**ATR Stop-Loss Strategies have a unique alert setup for Auto-Trading. See Auto-Trading Section**
- Risk/Reward Ratio = If you have a .5 risk/reward, it means you are risking $100 to make $50.
- Additional Stop PIP Size = Number of PIPs over the default stop location of the top or bottom of the indicator candle.
----- Next, we set the Session Filter -----
Set the Timezone and Trade Session you desire. If no specific session is desired, simply set the Trade Session to 00:00 - 00:00.
----- Next, we set the Moving Average Cloud Fill -----
Enter the Fast and Slow Moving Average Length used to calculate trend direction:
MA Period Fast
MA Period Slow
These inputs will determine whether the strategy looks for Long or Short positions.
----- Next, we set the VSA – Volume Spread Analysis Settings -----
Check the box to show the indicator at the bottom of the chart if desired.
This is just a different visual output of the VSA | Volume Spread Analysis indicator available for free under the community indicators tab. You can add that indicator to your chart and see the same output in candle format.
In combination with the Moving Average Cloud, the Volume Spread Analysis will help us determine when to take a trade and in what direction.
The strategy is essentially looking for small reversals going against the overall trend and placing a trade once that reversal ends and the price moves back in the direction of the overall trend.
The 3LS Strategy utilizes confirmation between trend, volume, and price action to place high probability trades.
The VSA is completely customizable by:
Moving Average Length
MA-1 Multiplier
MA-2 Multiplier
MA-3 Multiplier
Check out the VSA | Volume Spread Analysis indicator in the community scripts section under the indicators tab to use this awesome resource on other strategies.
----- Next, we have the option to view the automated KT Bull/Bear Signals -----
Check the boxes to show the buy-sell signal on the chart if desired.
----- Next, we set the risk we want to use if Auto Trading the strategy -----
I always suggest using no more than 1-3% of your total account balance per trade. Remember, if you have multiple strategies triggering per day with each using 1%, the total percent at risk will be much larger.
For Example – if you have 10 strategies each risking 1% your total risk is 10% of your account, not 1%! Be mindful to only use 1-3% of your total account balance across all strategies, not just each individual one.
----- Finally, we backtest our ideas -----
After using the 'Strategy Tester' tab on TradingView to thoroughly backtest your predictions you are ready to take it to the next level - Automated Trading!
This was my whole reason for creating the script. If you work a full-time job, live in a time zone that is hard to trade, or just don't have the patience, this will be a game-changer for you as it was for me.
Auto-Trading
When it comes to auto-trading this strategy I have included two options in the script that utilize the alert messages generated by TradingView.
*Note: Please trade on a demo account until you feel comfortable enough to use real money, and then please stick to 1%-2% of your total account value in risk per trade.*

Bullish & Bearish EngulfingA simple script to filter out bullish and bearish engulfing candles. Size of candles can be filtered.
Engulfing Candle Marker (Full Candle)A simple indicator that marks FULL CANDLE engulfing candles...
current high > previous high
current low < previous low
bullish: close > open (triangle below)
bearish: close < open (triangle above)
A lot of the engulfing indicators available are body only. I created a FULL CANDLE indicator because that's what I prefer using.
Can be useful for spotting both reversal and continuation price action. Always have a complete trading plan and backtest it for yourself, engulfing candles in themselves to not guarantee a profit.
You are more powerful than you know...keep expanding!
Flag DetectorThis script attempts to find consolidations or retracements within the context of a previous uptrend - basically looking for flag type patterns. It first measures an initial move (referred to as the flag pole in this script) and then looks for consolidation after that move within a certain range. If the consolidation is within the rage, it plots a dot under the candle to show you the consolidation areas. It's not fool proof, but seems to do a decent job of identifying pullbacks and sideways consolidations reasonably well.
3 Line Strike [TTF]This indicator is a spin-off of the popular TMA Overlay indicator made by request of the original author that narrows down the scope to simply identifying a couple of key candlestick patterns - Engulfing candles and 3 Line Strikes.
In addition to being a far more tailored and purpose-specific indicator, we have also update the indicator code to the latest version of Pinescript and added some enhanced alerts.
Candle Stick UpdateHeikin ashi chart so powerful that you can understand trend direction easily. But sometimes, this type of chart doesn't update properly and make no sense on real time. So I made this script. You can now change candle stick style default to heikin ashi (default / modified version) on the real time default chart without switching heikin ashi chart. Enjoy traders!!! And don't forget to press the like button :)
Dante Bullish/Bearish EngulfingBearish and Bullish engulfings as taught by Tom Dante Piccin. Different from other bullish/bearish engulfing indicators because other indicators only want the body of the current candle to engulf the previous body.
This indicator needs the low and high of the current candle to engulf the previous one and also in the example of a bullish engulfing close above the previous candle high or in a bearish engulfing example close below the low of the previous candle.
J2S Backtest: 123-Stormer StrategyThis backtest presents the 123-Stormer strategy created by trader Alexandre Wolwacz "Stormer". The strategy is advocates and shared by the trader through his YouTube channel without restrictions.
Note :
This is not an investment recommendation. The purpose of this study is only to share knowledge with the community on tradingview.
What is the purpose of the strategy?
The strategy is to buy the 123-Stormer pattern at the bottom of an uptrend and sell the 123-Stormer pattern at the top of a downtrend, aiming for a short stop for a long profit target.
To which timeframe of a chart is it applicable to?
Recommended for weekly and daily charts, as the signals are more reliable, being that strategy a good option for swing and position trading.
What about risk management and success rate?
The profit target is established by the author as being twice the risk assumed. Also according to the author, the strategy is mathematically positive, reaching around 65% of success rate in tradings.
How are the trends identified in this strategy?
Two averages are plotted to indicate the trend, a fast EMA average with an 8-week close and a slow EMA average with an 80-week close.
Uptrend happens whenever the fast EMA is above the slow EMA and prices are above the fast EMA. In this case, we should start looking for a LONG entry based on the signal of the 123-Stromer pattern to buying.
On the other hand, downtrend happens when the fast EMA is below the slow EMA and prices are below the fast EMA. In this case, we should start looking for a SHORT entry based on the signal of the 123-Stromer pattern to selling.
How to identify the 123-Stormer pattern for a LONG entry?
This pattern consists of three candles. The first candle has a higher low than the second candle's low, and the third candle has a higher low than the second candle's low. In this pattern, we will buy as soon as a trade occurs above the third candle's high, placing a stop as soon as a trade occurs below the second candle's low, with profit target twice the risk assumed. In another words, the amplitude of the prices of the three candles from the third candle’s high upwards. (you can use fibonacci extension to determine your stops and profit targets).
Importantly, the low of the three candles must be above the fast EMA average and in an uptrend.
How to identify the 123-Stormer pattern for a SHORT entry?
This pattern consists of three candles. The first candle has a lower high than the second candle's high, and the third candle has a lower high than the second candle's high. In this pattern, we will sell as soon as a trade occurs below the third candle's low, placing a stop as soon as a trade occurs above the second candle's high, with profit target twice the risk assumed. In other words, the amplitude of prices of the three candles from the third candle’s low down (you can use fibonacci extension to determine your stops and profit targets).
Importantly, the high of the three candles must be below the fast average and in a downtrend.
Tips and tricks
According to the author, the best signal for both LONG or SHORT entry is when the third candle is a inside bar of second candle.
Backtest features
Backtest parameters are fully customizable. The user chooses to validate only LONG or SHORT entries, or both. It is also possible to determine the specific time period for running the backtests, as well as setting a threshold in candels for entry by the 123-Stormer pattern.
Furthermore, for validation purposes, you can choose to activate the best signal of the pattern recommended by the author of the strategy, as well as change the values of the EMA averages or even deactivate them.
Final message
Feel free to provide me with any improvement suggestions for the backtest script. Bear in mind, feel free to use the ideas in my script in your studies.
