Three Bar Gap (Simple Price Action - with 1 line plot)This script is tailored towards experienced traders who prefer to view raw price charts during live execution. It searches for a three-bar pattern of what is colloquially called "fair value gap", or "imbalance" and uses a single line to plot the results. The goal is to display price in a way that is as simple as possible so that chart readers who don't prefer to add indicators on their screen will still find this indicator as an acceptable option to consider for.
From a code perspective, this script explores a new PineScript feature called UDT (user-defined types). This is an incredible update because it brings developers one step close to having the ability to create abstract data types.
█ What is price action?
Experienced traders will tell you that the chart that they use for live execution is raw, clean, and uses no indicators. They say they execute on price action, so what exactly is price action?
There is no formal definition to it, but one can agree that it implies the process of analyzing price without considering the fundamentals, without needing to know what the news was about, and without needing to know any of the Greeks (except for the desire to “seek alpha” Ha.haa...). This is not to say that price action traders are executing in their own vacuums without the need to know what is happening around the world. Surely fundamentals and financial models can be used beforehand for developing a bias for what is being traded, but it’s price-first at the moment of execution. That said, Factor (A) is Price.
Factor (B) is time-perception, it’s how the trader reads the tape. How the trader perceives price to change with respect to time is valuable information. Interpretation of "time" will be elaborated in the next section that talks about candlestick patterns detected by this script.
Putting this together, price action means the analysis of price movement by only considering (A) price, and (B) time, to predict which direction the market will move. A speculative trader is timing the market with the expectation to make a quick in-and-out profit; she/she is using price action. On the other hand, a long term investor holding a diversified portfolio with a strategy based on modern portfolio theory combined with fundamental analysis (at this point candlesticks are irrelevant) but has one additional criteria of, say, can only go Long on a stock when it has closed Green on Daily; he/she is also considered to be executing on price action.
█ Candlestick patterns
This script calculates the displacement of highs and lows over three consecutive bars.
A) Down move = When High of the recent confirmed bar is lower than the Low of the previous-previous candle
B) Up move = When Low of the recent confirmed bar is higher than the High of the previous-previous candle
(Note that its the confirmed bar that is being talked about, so it does not repaint)
An ATR filter will be applied to reduce the number of lines generated as many times they might just be associated with minor price changes.
Interpretations:
When price moves quickly across three bars, it can be thought that it has gapped. Although the candle in the middle appears to be solid, it’s not from a conceptual perspective. This is because time itself is arbitrary; timeframes don’t necessarily have to be fixed intervals. Take stocks with regular trading hours for example, if price makes a breakaway gap and you bundle the after-hours and pre-market sessions together as one candle, never minding that intervals should be fixed, then you will see the exact three-bar-gap patterns. Similar happens during intraday sessions on lower timeframes, if you zoom-in closer, you’ll see that ticks within the middle candle are sparsely dispersed. This is why it's called a gap.
█ Parameters with fixed inputs & assumptions used:
ATR is used for filtering out minor movements that will likely be deemed as irrelevant by trader for the purpose of live execution. The following inputs are required:
A) ATR lookback period
B) Multiplier
The product of ATR(len=A) and B produces a threshold for minimum distance that price must gap by. Initially, it was proposed to be only based on one ATR, but often an ATR is too wide and using it will filter out too many lines. Because of this observation, a multiplier (Parameter B) has been introduced to allow users to apply fractional ATR as a threshold.
█ Applications:
For trend followers: Follow the direction of the gap. Entering above recent high/low points above/below the first impulse with a stop-limit order is a viable tactic.
For contrarians fading a trend: The mid-point is a good point of reference for predicting potential areas of support/resistance.

Bull& Bear Bars Count/CalculatorIn bull trend, bull bars are more than bear bars and vice versa.
More important, if the bull/bear bars are more continuous, the trend is typically stronger.
So, if the bars amount is visualized, it would be much more easier to identify the unfolding trend in front of you.
This indicator shows you the amount of bull/bear bars by columns.
The higher the column, the bars are more continuous, the trend is stronger.
Position Size By Risk For Bar SizeThis simple script provides a way of calculating position size on a bar by bar basis for a fixed risk amount.
If you are trading a fixed risk amount (e.g. $100) per trade and your Entry and Stop is defined by a specific bar on the chart (any resolution e.g. 15 min, 5 min, 2 min etc) then this indicator will show you the position size you can take.
The user configures the risk amount per trade in the setting for the indicator, the default is 100 (e.g. $100).
It calculates each bar size (high - low) for the resolution of the chart that is being viewed.
The position size = (risk amount) / (bar size).
It then displays a "." (dot) for each bar and to see the position size hover your mouse over this dot .
The pane for this indicator can be set to the top of the chart by using the "Move pane up" option on the chart so that the indicator is easily accessible and discrete at the top of the chart.
Also, there is an option to use this indicator as a substitute for the built-in volume display.
TTM Squeeze Pro BarsCredits:
-> John Carter creating the TTM Squeeze and TTM Squeeze Pro
-> Lazybear's original interpretation of the TTM Squeeze: Squeeze Momentum Indicator
-> Makit0's evolution of Lazybear's script to factor in the TTM Squeeze Pro upgrades - Squeeze PRO Arrows
This is my version of their collective works, with amendments primarily to the Squeeze Conditions to more accurately reflect the color coding used by the official TMM Squeeze Pro indicator.
Rather than having a separate indicator window, the TTM Squeeze Pro is now overlaid on the price bars for easier viewing.
For those unfamiliar with the TTM Squeeze, it is simply a visual way of seeing how Bollinger Bands (standard deviations from a simple moving average ) relate to Keltner Channels ( average true range bands) compared with the momentum of the price action. The concept is that as Bollinger Bands compress within Keltner Channels , price volatility decreases, giving way for a potential explosive price movement up or down.
Differences between the original TTM Squeeze and TTM Squeeze Pro:
-> Both use a 2 standard deviation Bollinger Band ;
-> The original squeeze only used a 1.5 ATR Keltner Channel; and
-> The pro version uses 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 ATR Keltner Channels .
The pro version therefore helps differentiate between levels of squeeze (compression) as the Bollinger Bands moves through the Keltner Channels i.e. the greater the compression, the more potential for explosive moves - less compression means more squeezing.
The Histogram shows price momentum whereas the colored dots (along the zeroline) show where the Bollinger Bands are in relation to the Keltner Channels:
-> Cyan Bars = positive, increasing momentum;
-> Blue Bars = positive, decreasing momentum (indication of a reversal in price direction);
-> Red Bars = negative, increasing momentum;
-> Yellow Bars = negative, decreasing momentum (indication of a reversal in price direction);
-> Orange Dots = High Compression / large squeeze (One or both of the Bollinger Bands is inside the 1st (1.0 ATR) Keltner Channel);
-> Red Dots = Medium Squeeze (One or both of the Bollinger Bands is inside the 2nd (1.5 ATR) Keltner Channel);
-> Black Dots = Low compression / wide squeeze (One or both of the Bollinger Bands is inside the 3rd (2.0 ATR) Keltner Channels );
-> Green Dots = No Squeeze / Squeeze Fired (One or both of the Bollinger Bands is outside of the 3rd (2.0 ATR) Keltner Channel).
Ideal Scenario:
As the ticker enters the squeeze, black dots would warn of the beginning of a low compression squeeze. As the Bollinger bands continue to constrict within the Keltner Channels , red dots would highlight a medium compression. As the price action and momentum continues to compress an orange dot shows warning of high compression. As price action leaves the squeeze, the coloring would reverse e.g. orange to red to black to green. Any compression squeeze is considered fired at the first green dot that appears.
Note: This is an ideal progression of the different types of squeezes, however any type of squeeze (and color sequence) may appear at anytime, therefore the focus is primarily on the green dots after any type of compression.
Entry and Exit Guide:
-> John Carter recommends entering a position after at least 5 black dots or wait for 1st green dot ; and
-> Exit on second blue or yellow bar or, alternatively, remain in the position after confirming a continuing trend through a separate indicator.
Realtime Volume Bars w Market Buy/Sell/Neutral split & Mkt Delta
What is it?
A tool that shows Real-time Volume bars split into 3 components: (1) Market Buy Volume - i.e., the volume that got transacted on upticks; (2) Market Sell Volume - i.e., the volume that got transacted on downticks;
and, (3) Neutral Volume - i.e., the volume that got transacted without a change in price. (This feature can be turned off if you want normal volume bars).
Market delta (i.e., Market Buy Volume - Market Sell Volume) is also displayed above each volume bar. (On by default; can be switched off from Settings)
The split and Market Delta data are ONLY AVAILABLE FOR REAL-TIME BARS. Historical bars are shown just like regular ones. The dotted line marks the start of real-time data (i.e., the bar from which the indicator started collecting and displaying data). You will see accurate data for bars to the right of this line. The longer you keep a chart open with the study enabled, the more data it collects and displays, and the better your analysis can potentially be.
Note that the data gets reset every time any of the options is changed, the market is switched, the browser is refreshed, or the script is reloaded
DATA ISN'T STORED. I.e., every time a new symbol is loaded, the previous symbol's data is lost. So if you intend to monitor a symbol, you would need to keep it loaded all the time.
Who is it for?
For traders who are used to analyzing buy/sell activity using market buy/sell volume and market delta information
Although you can use this independently as well, use it in conjunction with "Market Delta Volume for Realtime Bars" indicator to get a better visual representation of the numbers.
Big Bar Strategy// This strategy detects and uses big bars to enter a position. When the Big Bar
// is bearish (red candle) the position will be long and viceversa
// for short positions. The stop loss (optional) is placed on the low of the
// candle used to trigger the position and user inputs allow you to modify the
// size of the SL. Take profit is placed on a reward ratio of 1. User can also modify
// the size of the bar body used to determine if we have a real Big Bar and
// filter out Doji bars. Big Bars are determined relative to the previous X period size,
// which can also be modified, as well as the required size of the Big Bar relative to this period average.

[blackcat] L1 Close Histogram OscillatorLevel: 1
Background
A histogram is a special chart that is applied to statistical data that is divided into numerically ordered groups. For example groups with close relationships in the vicinity like "Close-ref(Close ,1)", "Close-ref(Close,2)" and so on. A histogram provides a snapshot of all the data so that you can quickly get an overview of the historical data, especially its general shape.In a histogram, the bars are linked - in contrast to a bar chart for categorical data, in which the bars represent categories that are in no particular order and are separated. The height of each bar in a histogram indicates either the number of individuals (called the frequency) in each group or the percentage of individuals (the relative frequency) in each group. Each individual in the data set falls into exactly one bar.
Function
L2 Close Histogram Oscillator is a novel overbought and oversold indicator that estimate the trend state by counting a specific bar relationship nearby. Once nearby bars reach consensus, it may spread to global quickly. The reason why I got this inspiration is because I have been engaged in the research of blockchain consensus mechanism. The market is a complex system, and its consensus depends on the common human characteristics: greed and fear. The trend of the market often also conforms to sociological characteristics. Maybe it's a bit complicated for me to say that. However, if you understand the principle of the spread of rumors and viruses, you can understand the situation where some individuals in the market have local consensus and gradually spread to the overall situation. This is the process of trend formation.
Key Signal
fastcounter --> fast close histogram counters
slowcounter --> slow close histogram counters
attention --> bottom price appears, with height of 10 in white
readybuy --> a small position buy opportunity after first bottom detected, with height of 20 in yellow
buylow --> a small position buy at low price, with height of 30 in lime
longentry --> a confirmed long entry signal by close histogram counter, with height of 40 in green
risk --> oscillator top is reached and trend reversal may happen, with height drop from 100 to 80 in red
Pros and Cons
Pros:
1. since this is based on consensus formation principle, i think this is a leading indicator by spreading local consensus to global
2. it is an oscillator, overbought and oversold can be easily observed.
Cons:
1. the model is not complex enough to depict market behavior exactly.
2. sideways and chop market will make this indicator's output hard to read.
Remarks
This is rare! I combined my previous theory of developing cellular automata with the market to produce such a weird indicator. I hope to inspire everyone and study market behavior in a deeper level.
Readme
In real life, I am a prolific inventor. I have successfully applied for more than 60 international and regional patents in the past 12 years. But in the past two years or so, I have tried to transfer my creativity to the development of trading strategies. Tradingview is the ideal platform for me. I am selecting and contributing some of the hundreds of scripts to publish in Tradingview community. Welcome everyone to interact with me to discuss these interesting pine scripts.
The scripts posted are categorized into 5 levels according to my efforts or manhours put into these works.
Level 1 : interesting script snippets or distinctive improvement from classic indicators or strategy. Level 1 scripts can usually appear in more complex indicators as a function module or element.
Level 2 : composite indicator/strategy. By selecting or combining several independent or dependent functions or sub indicators in proper way, the composite script exhibits a resonance phenomenon which can filter out noise or fake trading signal to enhance trading confidence level.
Level 3 : comprehensive indicator/strategy. They are simple trading systems based on my strategies. They are commonly containing several or all of entry signal, close signal, stop loss, take profit, re-entry, risk management, and position sizing techniques. Even some interesting fundamental and mass psychological aspects are incorporated.
Level 4 : script snippets or functions that do not disclose source code. Interesting element that can reveal market laws and work as raw material for indicators and strategies. If you find Level 1~2 scripts are helpful, Level 4 is a private version that took me far more efforts to develop.
Level 5 : indicator/strategy that do not disclose source code. private version of Level 3 script with my accumulated script processing skills or a large number of custom functions. I had a private function library built in past two years. Level 5 scripts use many of them to achieve private trading strategy.
Slim Ribbon Volume BarsThe Slim Ribbon Volume Bars indicator is intended to be paired with the Slim Ribbon. The Slim Ribbon is also available for free in TradingView. The Slim Ribbon Volume Bars indicator changes the color of the volume bars based on the momentum condition of the Slim Ribbon. When the Ribbons have a bullish condition, the indicator colors the volume bars green. When the Ribbons have a bearish condition, the indicator colors the volume bars red. Finally, when the Ribbons have a neutral condition, the indicator colors the volume bars gray. See below for an overview of the Slim Ribbon.
The Slim Ribbon was developed by Steve Miller. Steve Miller is a 46-year veteran stock, futures and options trader. His badge on the trading floor was his initials, “SLM” and has since gone by the nickname Slim.
The Slim Ribbon is a momentum indicator . It is composed of 3 exponential moving averages (8, 13 and 21). A bullish condition occurs when the 8 period MA is above the 13 period MA and the 13 period MA is above the 21 period MA. A bearish condition occurs when the 8 period MA is below the 13 period MA and the 13 period MA is below the 21 period MA. A neutral condition occurs when the Ribbons are not in alignment.
The Slim Ribbon also notifies you when we transition from one condition to another. A green up arrow indicates that the Slim Ribbon has shifted from a neutral condition to a bullish condition. A red down arrow indicates that the Slim Ribbon has shifted from a neutral condition to a bearish condition. A blue up arrow indicates that we have shifted from a bearish condition to a neutral condition. Lastly, a blue down arrow indicates that we have shifted from a bullish condition to a neutral condition.
We would recommend using the Slim Ribbon on a candlestick chart. Steve Miller believes in the importance of visualizing trends. As a result, we have designed the Slim Ribbon to change the color of the candlesticks based on the condition of the ribbon. When the Slim Ribbon has a bullish condition, the candlesticks will turn green. When the Slim Ribbon has a bearish condition, the candlesticks will turn red. When the Slim Ribbon has a neutral condition, the candlesticks will turn gray.

SadLittleThings Price Compare With Offset MTF by RRBSadLittleThings Price Compare With Offset MTF by RagingRocketBull 2018
Version 1.0
This indicator lets you compare multiple assets across different timeframes, supports offsets and alpha multipliers.
Standard TradingView Compare doesn't have Offset/Timeframe/Multiplier options, hence this indicator.
Features:
- compare current asset's price with 2 custom ext OHLC sources
- plot sources as lines/bars/candles
- use offset:
- for lines - both positive/negative offsets, unlimited
- for bars/candles - only positive offsets <= 5000
- specify timeframe for each source
- uses timeframe textbox instead of input resolution dropdown to allow for 240 120 and other custom TFs
- support for timeframes in H: H, 2H, 4H etc
- show/hide sources
- colorize sources
- convert source price to 1000s, mlns, or blns using alpha multiplier
- total bars counter
Notes on using offsets:
- Max offset is defined by study max_bars_back which is limited to 5000 for free accounts. This variable specifies the number of history bars an indicator can access.
- if you see the 'internal server study error' => one of the indexes of ohlc series is out of bounds (i.e. close ) => decrease the offset <= 5000 or switch to line type
- you will be limited only by the total number of bars in history (n) +/- 1 full screen of empty bars
- you can't scroll past the beginning of history - 1 empty screen and past the end of history + 1 empty screen to be able to still see the line with applied offset
- before applying a large offset, scroll back long enough to make sure you have enough history loaded
- if you have a long history the indicator will get slower, its UI less responsive. Reloading the page may fix that.
- you will not see source's history past the beginning of the current asset - open the chart with the longest history first (i.e. BLX, not COINBASE)
- Make sure that the Left Price Scale shows up with Auto Fit Data enabled. You can reattach the indicator to a different scale in Style.
- you may not be able to plot intraday TFs < current TF, because free accounts are limited to TFs >= D1 (i.e. D, 2D, 3D, W), but you can still plot, say, H4+ on a lower TF H1 chart

Two Bar Break Line Alerts R1.0 by JustUncleLThis indicator with default settings is designed for BINARY OPTIONS trading. The indicator can also be used for Forex trading with some setting changes. The script shows Two Bar Pullback Break lines and alerts when those Break lines are Touched (broken) creating a short term momentum entry condition.
For a Bullish Break (Green Up Arrow) to occur: first must have two (or three) consecutive bear (red) candles which is followed by a bull (green) candle creating a pivot point. The breakout occurs then the High of the current Bull (green) exceeds the highest point of the previous two (or three) pivotal bear candles. The green channel Line shows where the current Bullish BreakOut occurs.
For a Bearish Break (Red Down Arrow) to occur: first must have two (or three) consecutive bull (green) candles which is followed by a bear (red) candle creating a pivot point. The breakout occurs when the Low of the current Bear (red) drops below the lowest point of the previous two (or three) pivotal Bull candles. The red channel Line shows where the current Bearish BreakOut occurs.
The break Line Arrows can optionally be filtered by the Coloured MA (enabled by default), a longer term directional MA (disabled by default) and/or a MACD condition (enabled by default) as a momentum filter.
You can optionally select three Bar break lines instead of two. The three bar break lines are actually equivalent to Guppy's Three Bar Count Back Line method for trade entries (see Guppy's video reference below).
Included in this indicator is an ability to display some basic Binary Option statistics, when enabled (enabled by default) it shows Successful Bars in Yellow and failed Bars in Black and the last Nine numbers on the script title line represent the Binary option Statistics in order:
%ITM rate
Total orders
Successful Orders
Failed Orders
Total candles tested
Candles per Day
Trades per Day
Max Consecutive Wins
Max Consecutive Losses
You can start the Binary Option statistics from a specific Date, which is handy for checking more recent history.
HINTS:
BINARY OPTIONS trading: use 5min, 15m, 1hr or even Daily charts. Trade after the price touches one of the Breakout lines and the Arrow first appears. Wait for the price to come back from Break Line by 1 or 2 pips, the alert arrow must stay on and candle change to black, then take Binary trade expiry End of Candle. If price pull back and arrow turns off, don't trade this candle, move on you probably don't have momentum, there will be plenty of other trigger events. The backtesting results are good with ITM rates 65% to 72% on many currency pairs, commodities and indices. Realtime trading has confirmed the backtesting results and they could even be bettered, provided you are selective on which signals to trade (strong MACD support etc), that you are patient and disciplined to this trading method.
FOREX trading: the default settings should work with scalping. For longer term trades try with settings change to a more standard MACD filter or slower to catch the longer term momentum swings and the idea would be to trade the first Break Line alert that occurs after a decent Pullback in the direction of the trend. Setting the SL to just above/below the Pivot High/Low and set target to two or three times SL.

Vol color barsHighlight bars according it's volume releative to near candles. This script usefull for VSA trading.
Red bar - extrime high volume
Orange bar - volume is high
Grayish bar - volume is normal
Green bar - volume is low
Blue bar - almost no volume
Colored Volume Bars [LazyBear]Edgar Kraut proposed this simple colored volume bars strategy for swing trading.
This is how the colors are determined:
- If today’s closing price and volume are greater than 'n' days ago, color today’s volume bar green.
- If today’s closing price is greater than 'n' days ago but volume is not, color today’s volume bar blue.
- Similarly, if today’s closing price and volume is less than 'n' days ago, color today’s volume bar orange.
- If today’s closing price is less than 'n' days ago but volume is not, color today’s volume bar red.
Buy the green or blue volume bars, use a 1% trailing stop, and stand aside on red or orange bars.
As you see, this is more for entry confirmation. I have not tested this on any instrument.
You may have to tune the lookback period for your instrument. Default is 10.

Previous candle closes bearish (close < open ).
Current close completely engulfs previous open and high.
Current open is below previous close.
Signal triggers only after bar closure (confirmed pattern).
Bearish Engulfing
Current candle closes bearish (close < open).
Previous candle closes bullish (close > open ).
Current close completely engulfs previous open and low.
Current open is above previous close.
Signal triggers only after bar closure (confirmed pattern).
🛠 Features
Clear visual markers on the chart (green for bullish, red for bearish).
Configurable generic alert to receive notifications for any engulfing pattern detected.
Dedicated alerts for bullish and bearish engulfing setups.
Works on any timeframe and any market.
🎯 Use Case
Ideal for breakout traders, reversal traders, or as part of a multi-factor strategy.
Can be combined with support/resistance zones, ATR exhaustion levels, or trend filters for enhanced accuracy.
Bias Bar Coloring + Multi-Timeframe Bias Table + AlertsMulti-Timeframe Bias Bar Coloring with Alerts & Table
This indicator provides a powerful, visual way to assess price action bias across multiple timeframes—Monthly, Weekly, and Daily—while also coloring each bar based on the current chart’s bias.
Features:
Persistent Bar Coloring: Bars are colored green for bullish bias (close above previous high), red for bearish bias (close below previous low), and persist the last color if neither condition is met. This makes trend shifts and momentum easy to spot at a glance.
Bias Change Alerts: Get notified instantly when the bias flips from bullish to bearish or vice versa, helping you stay on top of potential trade setups or risk management decisions.
Multi-Timeframe Bias Table: A table anchored in the top right corner displays the current bias for the Monthly, Weekly, and Daily charts, color-coded for quick reference. This gives you a clear view of higher timeframe context while trading any chart.
Consistent Logic: The same objective bias logic is used for all timeframes, ensuring clarity and reliability in your analysis.
How to Use:
Use the bar colors for instant visual feedback on trend and momentum shifts.
Watch the top-right table to align your trades with higher timeframe bias, improving your edge and filtering out lower-probability setups.
Set alerts to be notified of bias changes, so you never miss a potential opportunity.
This tool is ideal for traders who value multi-timeframe analysis, want clear visual cues for trend direction, and appreciate having actionable alerts and context at their fingertips.
BVB dominance bars
Hello everyone, this is my first indicator. these candles shows you who's in control. I like to think its some what close to heikin ashi candles as it shows you the Trend but doesn't average it out. also shows you when there is indecision. please read the instructions on how it works. its not a stand alone strategy. but adds value to your own strategy.
📖 How It Works
The BvB Dominance Bars indicator is a visual tool that colors candles based on market control—whether bulls or bears are in charge. It uses a custom metric comparing the price's relationship to a smoothed moving average (EMA), then normalizes that difference over time to express relative bullish or bearish pressure.
Here’s the breakdown:
Bulls vs Bears Logic:
A short-term EMA (default: 14-period) is used to establish a midpoint reference.
Bull Pressure is calculated as how far the high is above this EMA.
Bear Pressure is how far the low is below this EMA.
These are normalized over a lookback period (default: 120 bars) to produce percentile scores (0–100) for both bulls and bears.
Dominance & Color Coding:
The indicator compares normalized bull and bear scores.
Candles are color-coded based on:
Bright Lime: Strong Bull Dominance (with high confidence)
Soft Lime/Yellow: Moderate Bull Control
Bright Red: Strong Bear Dominance
Soft Red/Yellow: Moderate Bear Control
Gray: Neutral/Low conviction
Optional Live Label:
A small floating label shows who has control: “Bull Control,” “Bear Control,” or “Neutral.”
🧠 How to Use It (Example Strategy)
The BvB Dominance Bars indicator is not a standalone buy/sell signal but a market sentiment overlay. It’s most effective when combined with your own strategy, like price action or trend-following tools.
Here’s an example use case:
🧪 Reversal Confirmation Strategy
Objective: Catch high-probability reversals during key kill zones or supply/demand levels.
Setup:
Mark your key support/resistance zones using your standard method (e.g., FVGs, liquidity sweeps, or ICT PD arrays).
Wait for price to reach one of these zones.
Watch candle colors from the BvB Dominance Bars:
If you expect a bullish reversal, wait for a transition from red/gray candles to lime green or bright lime (bullish dominance taking over).
If you expect a bearish reversal, look for a change from green/gray to red or bright red.
Entry Filter:
Only enter if the dominant color holds for 2+ candles.
Avoid trades when candles are gray or yellow (indecision/neutral).
Exit Option:
Exit if dominance shifts against you (e.g., from lime to red), or use structure-based stops.
⚙️ Settings You Can Adjust:
BvB Period: Controls how fast EMA responds.
Bars Back: Determines how long the normalization looks back.
Thresholds: Influence how strong the dominance must be to change candle color.
✅ Best Used When:
You already have a bias and just want a confirmation of sentiment.
You're trading intraday and want a feel for shifting momentum without relying on noisy indicators.
You want a clean, color-coded overlay to help filter out fakeouts and indecision.
Live Inside Bar ColoringDescription
This script colors the current bar if it is inside the prior bar's high and low. Inside is defined as ≤ the high, and ≥ the low of the prior bar.
Utility
This gives a quick visual indication if the current bar is inside. This can indicate a choppier market. By definition, an inside bar is consolidating and not trending.
