Master CandleMaster Candle
Definition
A master candle can only exist when 4 consecutive candles after it consolidate within the candle’s range (high and low). Basically, a master candle should engulf the 4 following candles
Common Belief
Literature suggests it be used as a breakout strategy. When a master candle is formed, they assume the 5th,6th or 7th candle are the candidates for a potential breakout.
If the there is no breakout after the 7th candle, the master candle should be disregarded. There are many scenarios where it does work, but just as many when they don’t.
Interpretation
The idea of the master candle does hold some significance, but I see the break of the master candle as a sign of a potential continuation, retracement, or reversal.
The indicator
I have kept the original theory as default (minimum criteria which is MC=C1234+B123) but have allowed the option to edit the parameters.
Another option I’ve added is to allow wicks to breach the Master Candle as long as they open and close within its range. The only time the range is broken (5th candle onwards) is when a candle body closes above or below the master candle range.
Since I did not want to define the break as a breakout, I’ve named it a ‘Swish’. So, it’s either a Swish High or a Swish Low. Traders should make their own judgement on the intended direction based on their own analysis. A retracement entry into the intended direction is all I can advise.

Heikin Ashi CandlesLibrary "heikin_ashi_candles"
This library is programmed to calculate the Heikin Ashi candles using the standard formula of Heikin Ashi Candles.
Notice the Heikin Ashi chart type isn't 100% like the results from this calculation.
You can import this library in your code to use it as a smoothing method for your strategy which operates on the standard chart type.

Smoothed Heikin Ashi Trend on Chart - TraderHalaiThis indicator is a predictive tool using Heikinashi to calculate shifts in trade direction.
It works by reverse-engineering the regular candle stick closing price required, to flip the Heiken Ashi candle from Red to Green and vice-versa.
Below, is an earlier indicator that I released and created. This plots this price as an oscillator, which allows traders to get a predictive indicator of a trend change.
This indicator extends upon this functionality by adding a smoothing function to the reverse-engineered regular candle stick closing price, to reduce the choppiness of signals. It also plots the indicator on the chart to allow for easier visual confirmation.
How to use
1) As a directional bias - Bullish or bearish
2) Volatility expansion/contraction - further distance from line means volatility expansion - am planning to release an oscillator version also
3) Trailing stop loss - once you are in a trade
Other Features
Select a moving average period and smoothing calculation method (e.g. SMA / EMA)
Non-repaint mode for backtesting and use/integration with higher timeframes
Final note - Open Source
I am releasing this as open-source for the benefit of the community and to allow further development, scrutiny and criticism. Please feel free to use this indicator as you see fit. If you do use this indicator to create another script, feel free to drop me a note, as I would be highly interested in your idea.
Thanks, and Enjoy!
Intrabar Polarity DivergencesTradingview Pinescript just introduced a new exciting ability to get intrabars candle information from a higher time frame chart!
This indicator is based on Tradingview example but with enhanced capabilities to show the percentage of intrabars opposite bars with the ability to display the mid-day candle close price drawn by a blue line.
This indicator can show you that in some cases a GREEN candle on the daily chart, for example, can have more red candles in a lower time frame. which may or may not indicate on a change of direction :)
This is an ongoing experiment and I plan to release more indicators based on these new pinescript capabilities.
Like if you like and Follow to stay updated!
Base Candle NewBase / Imbalance Candle
It automatically highlights the candle color to yellow (default) where there is imbalance between buyers and sellers or in other words, a base or fight between buyers and sellers. When you identify this base candle, you can mark the demand and supply zones easily.
[_ParkF]HeikinAshi
In the Input menu, the default value of Location is 1, and HeikinAshi can be seen overlapping the candle.
If you modify the Location value, you can overlay it separately with candle to compare.
(In this case, the HeikinAshi value is different from the actual value, so it is recommended to use it to identify the trend.)
Also, if you move HeikinAshi to a new pane, you can use it as an auxiliary indicator at the bottom.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Input 메뉴에서 Location의 기본값은 1이며, 헤이킨아시를 캔들과 겹쳐서 볼 수 있게 되어 있습니다.
Location 값을 수정하면 캔들과 따로 overlay 시켜 비교할 수 있습니다.
(이 경우 헤이킨아시의 값은 실제값과 다르니 추세 파악을 위해 사용하시길 권장합니다.)
또, 헤이킨아시를 새 페인으로 옮기면 하단의 보조지표처럼 사용할 수 있습니다.
Determine Consecutive Candles█ OVERVIEW
This is a simple script that will plot labels over or under candles to show where there had been consecutive candles that closed in a similar fashion. This script was inspired by a Tweet about Bitcoin experiencing its first 7th-consecutive weekly black candle and I sought out to test that.
█ INPUTS
There are three inputs for this script.
"offset" ( integer ) - (Can be 0 or 1) Allows the user to apply this script at the currently closing candle or the most recently closed candle.
"Number of Candles" ( integer ) - (From 3 to 100*) Allows the user to select how many candles to back test for consecutive-ness.
"Black or White" ( boolean ) - Allows the user to select what kinds of candles to look for in this script. (true - Black , false - White ).
*Publishing open-sourced, this selection was arbitrary and can be modified at will.
█ USAGE
Because I had created this in a little over an hour, this is just a simple experiment that I wanted to share with others. Its applications are unknown to me, but I am interested in hearing how others may find what this script does useful.

Supply and Demand - Order Block - Energy CandlesSupply and Demand - Order Block - Energy Candles
Description
An experimental script, designed as a visual aid, to highlight the last up or down candle before a fractal break. We can assume these candles where the point of origin that generated enough strength to break recent structure. By using them as reference points, traders are expected to follow their own set of rules and mark higher probability supply and demand zones in the area.
How to use:
Expect a potential retest in these areas, and if they fail, a potential retest in the opposite direction. The greater the number of times a zone is tested, the more likely it is to break. A fresh zone that has not yet been tested will have a higher probability of a bounce.
Fractal period and candle break type can be personalised in settings. Can be used on all timeframes (higher the better).
Indicator in use:
Extras:
An option to flip candle colours if current price is above or below them has been added.
Extended candle alertThis indicator lets you set an alert that triggers when a candle body has got a specific % extension.
Customizable settings
Extension % threshold: the % of the candle extension that has to trigger the alert
Instructions to make it work
Add the indicator to your layout
Set the desidered extension % threshold
Create an alarm (Alt + A)
In the first condition toolbox select "Ext candle alert"
In the second condition toolbox select either long or short condition
Press create (unless you want to change secondary stuff like notification settings)
4C Inside/Outside BarThis indicator colors the candle body based on whether it closed as an Inside Bar (IB) or an Outside Bar (OB).
Inside and outside bars can be powerful triggers to enter or exit trades from, when price breaks above or below the candle.
The coloring of only the body and not the border of the candle makes it possible to still know whether the candle was bullish/bearish.
This indicator has the unique ability to add/hide labels for each IB and OB.
Small labels are printed on the chart directly below the candle. (See below)
It also has the unique ability to paint the chart background when an IB forms directly after an OB.
This is a special combination of the two, and can also be a powerful signal.
This feature can be turned on/off. (See below)
Thanks to Craig Stine, as some parts of this indicator were adapted from Custom Candle color Inside/Outside candles, Highwave, Star Patt. by Craig_Stine
Candle relative powerThis indicator tries to measure the power of candle.
You can also integrate some candles to measure the power. The “Length” is for integrating candles. If the Length is equal 5, it means indicator calculate power of recent 5 candles.
The second editable factor in “Shadow index” which represent the power of shadows.
The last factor in Average Criteria which is the module of comparing the integrated candles to the past market moves.
This indicator do not supposed to create trading signals! But, you can see every time it breaks the static line it is a sign of bulls or bears power.
I personally use it as a candle power meter so I will evaluate the power of breakouts or trend continuations.
3 Candle Strike SPY Option StrategyImportant notes:
1. This strategy is designed for same day SPY option scalping. All profit shown in back testing report is based on Profit/Loss (P/L) estimates from trading options with approximately 7.5 weeks of data. By default, it is set to 10 option contracts. By default the initial capital is set to $5000.
2. This strategy also takes into account of extended market data, so turn it on for it to work as intended.
3. This strategy is mainly developed for SPY trading on 1 min chart, it probably will not work with other tickers without tweaking all the parameters first.
4. At the time of publish, the market is experiencing high volatility. Keep that in mind as market conditions changes constantly.
How it works:
Basic idea of this strategy is to look for 3 candle reversal pattern within trending market structure. The 3 candle reversal pattern consist of 3 consecutive bullish or bearish candles, followed by an engulfing candle in the opposite direction. This pattern usually signals a reversal of short term trend (a.k.a pullbacks). This strategy uses multiple moving averages to filter long or short entries. For example, if the 21 smoothed moving average is above the 50, only look for long (bullish) entries, and vise versa. There are settings to change these moving average periods to suit your needs. Linear Regression to determine whether the market is trending. The 3 candle pattern is more successful under trending market.
This strategy aims for approximately 1:3 risk to reward ratio. Stop losses are calculated using the closest low or high values for long or short entries, respectively, with an offset using a percentage of the daily ATR value. This allows some price fluctuation without being stopped out prematurely. Price target is calculated by multiplying the difference between the entry price and the stop loss by a factor of 3. When price target is reach, this strategy will set stop loss at the price target and wait for exit conditions to maximize potential profit.
By default, the strategy signals a trade in the opposite direction if the previous one had resulted in a loss. Often times, this opposite trade results in profit.
This strategy automatically signal to close all trades at 3:50 pm EST at the end of the day.

[_ParkF]RSI+RSI ----- UPGRADE ----> RSI+
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The RSI index has been upgraded.
The display function of RSI Candle, RSI Line, Divergence, and Divergence Line, which were previous functions, has been maintained.
As an upgrade, two linear regression and two trend lines are drawn.
Since the two linear regression values are different, support and resistance of long-term and short-term linear regression can be confirmed.
The two trend lines also have different period values, so it is possible to check support and resistance that could not be confirmed in linear regression.
Each linear regression and trend line can be turned on and off.
In addition, each linear regression and trend line can arbitrarily modify period values and deviation values.
Log charts and linear chart switches have been added to the trend line.
I hope it will help you with your trading.

[_ParkF]RSI (+ichimoku cloud)RSI
Typical RSI indicators were plotted with candles and expressed wick to resemble a candle chart,
and linear regression was added to predict changes in force intensity,
which allowed us to confirm support and resistance within linear regression .
In addition, divergence signal was marked as an additional basis for the price fluctuation point due to support and resistance .
In other words,
if the diversity signal appears together when the rsi candle is supported and resisted within linear regression ,
this is the basis for predicting that it is a point of change in the existing trend.
Finally, the period value and standard deviation of linear regression can be arbitrarily modified and used.
I hope it will help you with your trading.

Candle Color by VolumeA simple but effective indicator that paints candles with different shades of colors based on the volume transacted.
-> Supports 6 levels of sensitivity at present. Might enhance the granularity later.
-> Darkest indicates the most volume transacted. Lightest, the least. Change it around however you see fit and based on your theme.
-> Use it for your Volume Spread Analysis and/or in conjunction with any other strategies that you employ.
-> Note that the volume ratio is calculated relative to the average volume of the last n candles ( EMA 20 by default).
Bar█ OVERVIEW
This indicator demonstrates how we can use Pine script for collecting data to study the market.
By building a statistical report based on the chart candlestick analysis, discover if there is an edge or not, when and where?
Compare it with a specific candlestick pattern and know how its behavior diverges. I have already covered some here .
I hope it can bring you ideas for researching new edges, testing, and trying new things.
█ FEATURES
Sections
The report organizes the data into the following sections: retracement , invalidation , continuation , breakout , and state . Each of them provides insights into the price behavior and answers to questions such as: How often does price retrace? Does the pattern often invalidate? If it does not, does it break in the pattern's direction? How far does the price go? What are the odds of a false breakout? What is the likelihood of the next bar being a down candle?
Highlighter
The indicator highlights flat bars (open and close at the same price). It also highlights bullish and bearish bars once a filter is applied.
Settings
Filtering of bars closing beyond their prior bar’s high and low;
Filtering of reversal bars (two modes available);
Displaying distances relative to the bars length or Average True Range;
Collapsing/expanding each section;
Changing the report’s coloring and positioning;
█ NOTES
Computation
The script computation occurs on bar close.
Distances in ATR
When using a period of 20, for example, the first 19 candles are ignored because the ATR is not defined yet.
Candlestick Trading (Malaysia Stock Market)1. This indicator will indicate signals of bearish/bullish candlestick as below:
- 10 Bear Candles: Dark Cloud Cover, Bearish Kickers, Bearish Engulfing, Evening Star, Three Black Crows, Hanging Man, Shooting Star, Tweezer Top, Bearish Harami, Doji
- 10 Bull Candles: Piercing, Bullish Kickers, Bullish Engulfing, Morning Star, Three White Soldiers, Hammer, Inverted Hammer, Tweezer Bottom, Bearish Harami, Doji
2. In order for the Bear Candle signals to appear, these conditions should be met:
- Price must be above MA 1 (preset at SMA 20)
- Price must be above MA 2 (preset at SMA 50)
- Price must be above MA 3 (preset at SMA 200)
- In the range of specified trading days (preset at latest 10 days of trading)
3. For a strong bearish signal, a namely 'Potential Top' signal will appear on the top of the bearish candlestick signal. This 'Potential Top' signal will only appear under the condition of:
- Stochastic is at overbought area (preset at 75%)
4. In order for the Bull Candle signals to appear, these conditions should be met:
- Price must be in between MA 4 (preset at EMA 30) and MA 5 (preset at EMA 100)
- In the range of specified trading days (preset at latest 10 days of trading)
5. For a strong bullish signal, a namely 'Potential Bottom' signal will appear at the bottom of the bullish candlestick signal. This 'Potential Bottom' signal will only appear under the condition of:
- Stochastic is at oversold area (preset at 25%)
6. This indicator can help one to enter/exit a trade based on the bullish/bearish candlestick patterns that appear at the beginning/end of a trend, especially when the 'Potential Bottom/Top' appears with any of bullish/bearish candlestick signal.
7. However, this indicator is only designed for Malaysian Stocks Market as the script is based on the bids/pips calculation of the Malaysian Stocks Market. Nevertheless, I let the script open for everyone to modify it based on your own preference markets/instruments.
8. Hope you guys enjoy it. Thanks.
NSDT Bearish-Bullish CandlesThis is another interesting take on candlesticks . These Bearish-Bullish Candles do not show the wicks. Instead, the upper wick is made into a Red body and the lower wick is made into a Green body. If you match the candle body color in the chart settings (or turn off the candles completely), you get a unique way of seeing how Bearish or how Bullish a candle is because the wick will now match the body size and color.
This indicator is very similar to our NSDT Special High-Low Candles.
Aurora Candle with AlertThe indicator is derived from the concept of Aurora Candles (Credit to RK Arora)
Description
The script instantly calculates and highlights the largest candle (from high to low) in a user specified lookback period. It then plots the expected support, resistance, supply and demand levels. When a larger candle is printed, it will immediately plot the new levels.
How To Use
Use the indicator to find the largest candle in a specified lookback period.
• As soon as the Aurora candle is printed, future levels are plotted.
• If a larger candle is printed it will reset and create a new roadmap as big money dictates the market.
• The Aurora candle will mirror itself above and below X amount of times based on your settings.
• Colours, levels and lookback period are customizable.
• There is only 1 look back period. You can add more than one indicator if you want to set different lookback periods for long and short term levels.
• Alert function has been added

CandleEvaluationLibrary "CandleEvaluation"
Contains functions to evaluate bullish and bearish, engulfing, and outsized candles. They are different from the built-in indicators from TradingView in that these functions don't evaluate classical patterns composed of multiple candles, and they reflect my own understanding of what is "bullish" and bearish", "engulfing", and "outsized".
isBullishBearishCandle()
Determines if the current candle is bullish or bearish according to the length of the wicks and the open and close.
int _barsBack How many bars back is the candle you want to evaluate. By default this is 0, i.e., the current bar.
returns Two values, true or false, for whether it's a bullish or bearish candle respectively.
isTripleBull()
Tells you whether a candle is a "Triple Bull" - that is, one which is bullish in three ways:
It closes higher than it opens
It closes higher than the body of the previous candle
The High is above the High of the previous candle.
int _barsBack How many bars back is the candle you want to evaluate. By default this is 0, i.e., the current bar.
returns True or false.
isTripleBear()
Tells you whether a candle is a "Triple Bear" - that is, one which is bearish in three ways:
It closes lower than it opens
It closes lower than the body of the previous candle
The Low is below the Low of the previous candle.
int _barsBack How many bars back is the candle you want to evaluate. By default this is 0, i.e., the current bar.
returns True or false.
isBigBody()
Tells you if the current candle has a larger than average body size.
int _length - The length of the sma to calculate the average
float _percent - The percentage of the average that the candle body has to be to count as "big". E.g. 100 means it has to be just larger than the average, 200 means it has to be twice as large.
returns True or false
isBullishEngulfing()
Tells you if the current candle is a bullish engulfing candle.
int _barsBack How many bars back is the candle you want to evaluate. By default this is 0, i.e., the current bar.
int _atrFraction The denominator for the ATR fraction, which is the small amount by which the open can be different from the previous close.
returns True or false
isBearishEngulfing()
Tells you if the current candle is a bearish engulfing candle.
int _barsBack How many bars back is the candle you want to evaluate. By default this is 0, i.e., the current bar.
int _atrFraction The denominator for the ATR fraction, which is the small amount by which the open can be different from the previous close.
returns True or false
