Viper Futures Range Bar CandlesThe Range Bars used in more Professional trading platforms to keep smoothness on the charts and help make custom range price candles based on the range size chosen for the market being traded. Example an 8 Range bar on the ES or MES Futures is 8 ticks = 2 points. Another Example on NQ a 22 Range bar popularly traded by trading professionals is a total of 22 ticks = 5 1/2 points on the Nasdaq or Micro NQ futures. Simple add to charge, set the range bar setting with a particular range setting in mind and then for clarity uncheck the original price chart on top left corner, same way you would disable an indicator temporarily. Works very clear and nice. A good accommodation for trading View as trading view does not offer historical tick data to use Renko bars very well at the moment.
Basically plots a candle rather then a OHLC bar for Range Bars on TV!
Default color was set to my Viper Futures Chart, you can change back to green/red, etc.

Power Bar [racer8]Introduction: 🌟
The Power Bar indicator is a powerful volatility indicator that can detect power bars 💪. A power bar is just a really big price bar that forms after a price base. A price base is chart pattern consisting of many low volatility price bars (bars that have small ranges). To detect such powerful bars, the PB indicator uses the following formula:
PB = ( Absolute value of current close - previous close ) / ( Previous price range over n periods )
Looking at the formula, you can see that PB compares the current change in closing price to the n-period base pattern's range. Strong PB values are typically greater than a value of 1. If n periods = 10, the indicator will look back 11 periods. The 11 periods includes the 10-period base plus the current price bar. 10 periods is the default setting for the indicator.
After the calculation, PB is then plotted as a histogram. Along with the histogram, a horizontal dashed line is also plotted.
PB's other setting controls the dashed line's level. This level is preset at a default value of 1. The dashed line is just a way to filter out weak PB values, and to generate signals. A signal is generated when the PB histogram is above the dashed line.
Objective: 🤔
This indicator shall prove very useful to you if your main objective is to trade only the best chart pattern in the market...and the base pattern is one of the best, if not the best chart pattern that exists today. This indicator is a mechanical way of detecting the chart pattern.
Enjoy! 🥳
Engulfing/Outside BarThis indicator provides a statistical report on the Engulfing/ Outside Bar candlestick pattern. Based on the chart's bars, it can improve your edge on any markets and timeframes.
Knowing there are many definitions about the Engulfing/ Outside Bar pattern, here we're strictly referring to one bar's body engulfing one other AND making a higher high and lower low.
The report is broken down into the different following sections: retracement , invalidation , continuation and breakout .
Each of them provides hindsights about the pattern price behavior and brings answers to questions such as: How often does price retrace? Does the pattern often invalidate? If it doesn't then does it break in the pattern's direction? How far does price go? What are the odds of a false breakout?
While there are many ways to make use of the metrics, my favorite use case is for developing directional and daily/weekly biases while refining my stop/entry/target positioning.
Miscellaneous

Supports bar to bar analysis and replay functionalities;
Provides counts on the `Data Window` panel for debugging or computing your own metrics;

PineScript v4 - Forex Pin-Bar Trading StrategyPineScript v4, forex trading robot based on the commonly used bullish / bearish pin-bar piercing the moving averages strategy.
I coded this robot to stress-test the PineScript v4 language to see how advanced it is, and whether I could port a forex trading strategy from MT4 to TradingView.
In my opinion, PineScript v4 is still not a professional coding language; for example you cannot use IF-statements to modify the contents of global variables; this makes complex robot behaviour difficult to implement. In addition, it is unclear if the programmer can use nested IF-ELSE, or nested FOR within IF.
The sequence of program execution is also unclear, and although complex order entry and exit appears to function properly, I am not completely comfortable with it.

To reduce the possibility of curve-fitting, this robot was backtested on 12 popular forex currencies, as shown above. The robot was profitable on 8 out of 12 currencies, breakeven on 1, and made a loss on 3.
The default robot settings could be over-fitting for the EUR, as we can see out-sized performance for the EUR pairs, with the exception of the EURGBP. We can see that GBPJPY made the largest loss, so these two pairs could be related.
Risk Warning:
This is a forex trading strategy that involves high risk of equity loss, and backtest performance will not equal future results. You agree to use this script at your own risk.
How To Color Prior BarsExample how to color the trigger bar of the condition and n-1 prior bars using only 1 barcolor() function.
Currently when offsets are used in barcolor(), bgcolor(), plot(), plotarrow(), plotchar(), or plotshape(), the offset only works with a simple (static) integer. If series (dynamic) integers are used instead, there is not an error, but the series values are ignored. Because of this limitation of offset being constrained to using only fixed offsets, the normal way to paint 3 Black Crows would be to use 3 barcolor() functions. Since there are a known number of bars to be painted in that scenario, this can be easily accomplished.
If a condition encompassed a variable length of n bars, then the number of barcolor() functions needed to use would be unknown. How to color the trigger bar of the condition and n-1 prior bars using only 1 barcolor() function? Dual examples below solves issue but requires n "future" bars, because of this it will not paint the most recent condition in realtime and may not be applicable for use in certain realtime situations. It paints similar in behavior to how a pivot does. Special thanks to LucF and RicardoSantos for illumination!

Renko Price Bars Overlay// Shows the price renko bars (or range bars) instead of the PERIOD renko
// bars that are integrated into Trading View. The normal renko bars that
// Trading View offers only consider the drawing of a new brick when the
// price closes above or below the required brick size. This can produce
// misleading charts since depending on the time interval of a chart, new
// bricks may or may not be drawn. True price renko bars will draw a new
// brick immediately upon the price exceeding the next target brick size.
// When running this script in "Traditional" mode, the painting of the
// brick overlay band is INDEPENDENT of the chart interval. If price
// exceeds the required target price for the next brick, the band is
// updated immediately, instead of waiting for the price bar on the chart
// interval to close first. The brick starting anchor point will attempt
// to be a "nice number" at a round interval for the chart ticker. For
// example, if viewing EURUSD with the box size equal to 50 ticks/pips,
// the open and close prices will take the form of 1.2100, 1.2150, 1.2200,
// 1.2250, and so on. This is the same behavior as the normal traditional
// Renko bars in Trading View and other major trading platforms such as
// Meta Trader.
// Use the tick size in traditional mode to specify the block size, in
// ticks. This may give interesting results in FOREX pairs... as the tick
// size in Trading View may be 0.00001 instead of the normal pip size of
// 0.0001, so a 10 pip block size may be '100', and not the expected '10'.
// FOREX futures should work in the manner expected, a 10 pip block size
// will indeed equal 0.0010.
// The "ATR" mode functions differently than the Trading View built in
// version. The block size is updated each time the range is exceeded.
// In Trading View, when using the ATR mode, the ATR is the last ATR
// value calculated on the ENTIRE data interval, and is applied to all
// past data. You can see this when you press the '+' sign of the ticker
// in the top left of the chart window and you will see the brick size
// as a constant, the brick size is not a function of the ever changing
// ATR value of the price action. The block size of this script is not
// updated for each price candle (i.e. each 1HR on a 1HR chart), instead
// it is updated only when the price thresholds are exceeded requiring a
// the band to be updated. At that point the current ATR is considered
// and the brick size is updated.
// Options exist to show the current high and low of the brick, and to
// show the required levels that the price must exceed to draw a new
// brick and update the band.
Please leave comments if you notice any bugs or would like any new features added. I don't find much use for plotting the H/L of the current renko candle, but I have seen some request it in the past.
Cheers.

Inside Bar ExplosionCategory: Price Action, Volatility Compression, Breakout Detection
🔍 Overview
This indicator detects multi-bar inside candle compressions (“inside bar coils”) and marks powerful breakout moments that follow.
It highlights when volatility contracts inside a large “mother candle” and then suddenly explodes with a bullish or bearish breakout backed by volume confirmation.
⚙️ How It Works
Mother Candle:
Detected when a large candle (range > defined %) appears with above-average volume.
Compression Phase:
Consecutive candles stay completely within the range of that mother candle.
The longer the compression, the tighter the coiling pattern.
Explosion Candle:
A candle breaks above or below the compression range,
Has a large range and a volume spike, confirming breakout direction.
💡 Visual Cues

[DEM] Donchian Channels Bars Donchian Channels Bars is designed to color-code price bars based on their relationship to Donchian Channel breakouts by comparing short-term and long-term highest high and lowest low levels. The indicator uses two configurable lookback periods (default 1 and 20 bars) and colors bars green when the shorter-period highest high equals the longer-period highest high (indicating an upward breakout or new high), red when the shorter-period lowest low equals the longer-period lowest low (indicating a downward breakout or new low), and purple when neither condition is met. This visual system helps traders quickly identify when price is making significant moves beyond established ranges, with green bars highlighting potential bullish breakouts above recent resistance and red bars highlighting potential bearish breakouts below recent support levels.

Wick Size in USD with 10-Bar AverageWick Size in USD with 10-Bar Average
Version: 1.0
Author: QCodeTrader
🔍 Overview
This indicator converts the price wicks of your candlestick chart into USD values based on ticks, providing both raw and smoothed data via a 10-bar simple moving average. It helps traders visualize the monetary impact of price extremes, making it easier to assess volatility, potential risk, and plan appropriate stop loss levels.
⚙️ Key Features
Tick-Based Calculation:
Converts wick sizes into ticks (using a fixed tick size of 0.01, typical for stocks) and then into USD using a customizable tick value.
10-Bar Moving Average:
Smooths out the wick values over the last 10 bars, giving you a clearer view of average wick behavior.
Bullish/Bearish Visual Cues:
The chart background automatically highlights bullish candles in green and bearish candles in red for quick visual assessment.
Stop Loss Optimization:
The indicator highlights long wick sizes, which can help you set more accurate stop loss levels. Even when the price moves in your favor, long wicks may indicate potential reversals—allowing you to account for this risk when planning your stop losses.
User-Friendly Customization:
Easily adjust the USD value per tick through the settings to tailor the indicator to your specific instrument.
📊 How It Works
Wick Calculation:
The indicator calculates the upper and lower wicks by measuring the distance between the candle’s high/low and its body (open/close).
Conversion to Ticks & USD:
These wick sizes are first converted from price points to ticks (dividing by a fixed tick size of 0.01) and then multiplied by the user-defined tick value to convert the measurement into USD.
Smoothing Data:
A 10-bar simple moving average is computed for both the upper and lower wick values, providing smoothed data that helps identify trends and deviations.
Visual Representation:
Columns display the raw wick sizes in USD.
Lines indicate the 10-bar moving averages.
Background Color shifts between green (bullish) and red (bearish) based on candle type.
⚡ How to Use
Add the Indicator:
Apply it to your chart to begin visualizing wick sizes in monetary terms.
Customize Settings:
Adjust the Tick Value in USD in the settings to match your instrument’s tick value.
(Note: The tick size is fixed at 0.01, which is standard for many stocks.)
Optimize Your Stop Loss:
Analyze the raw and averaged wick values to understand volatility. Long wicks—even when the price moves in your favor—may indicate potential reversals. This insight can help you set more accurate stop loss levels to protect your gains.
Analyze:
Use the indicator’s data to gauge market volatility and assess the significance of price movements, aiding in more informed trading decisions.
This indicator is perfect for traders looking to understand the impact of extreme price movements in monetary terms, optimize stop loss levels, and effectively manage risk across stocks and other instruments with similar tick structures.
[SHORT ONLY] Internal Bar Strength (IBS) Mean Reversion Strategy█ STRATEGY DESCRIPTION
The "Internal Bar Strength (IBS) Strategy" is a mean-reversion strategy designed to identify trading opportunities based on the closing price's position within the daily price range. It enters a short position when the IBS indicates overbought conditions and exits when the IBS reaches oversold levels. This strategy is Short-Only and was designed to be used on the Daily timeframe for Stocks and ETFs.
█ WHAT IS INTERNAL BAR STRENGTH (IBS)?
Internal Bar Strength (IBS) measures where the closing price falls within the high-low range of a bar. It is calculated as:
IBS = (Close - Low) / (High - Low)
- Low IBS (≤ 0.2) : Indicates the close is near the bar's low, suggesting oversold conditions.
- High IBS (≥ 0.8) : Indicates the close is near the bar's high, suggesting overbought conditions.
█ SIGNAL GENERATION
1. SHORT ENTRY
A Short Signal is triggered when:
The IBS value rises to or above the Upper Threshold (default: 0.9).
The Closing price is greater than the previous bars High (close>high ).
The signal occurs within the specified time window (between `Start Time` and `End Time`).
2. EXIT CONDITION
An exit Signal is generated when the IBS value drops to or below the Lower Threshold (default: 0.3). This prompts the strategy to exit the position.
█ ADDITIONAL SETTINGS
Upper Threshold: The IBS level at which the strategy enters trades. Default is 0.9.
Lower Threshold: The IBS level at which the strategy exits short positions. Default is 0.3.
Start Time and End Time: The time window during which the strategy is allowed to execute trades.
█ PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
This strategy is designed for Stocks and ETFs markets and performs best when prices frequently revert to the mean.
The strategy can be optimized further using additional conditions such as using volume or volatility filters.
It is sensitive to extreme IBS values, which help identify potential reversals.
Backtesting results should be analyzed to optimize the Upper/Lower Thresholds for specific instruments and market conditions.
Inside Bars ITInside Bars IT Indicator
The Inside Bars IT indicator is a powerful tool designed to identify Inside Bars and their extended patterns (InsideBar2) on any chart. An Inside Bar is a candlestick pattern where the current candle's high is lower than the previous candle's high, and the current candle's low is higher than the previous candle's low. This pattern often signals market consolidation and potential breakout opportunities.
The indicator extends the concept of Inside Bars by introducing InsideBar2, which uses the high and low of the first Inside Bar as reference levels. Subsequent candles are classified as InsideBar2 if their high is less than or equal to the reference high and their low is greater than or equal to the reference low.
HTF Candle Range Box (Fixed to HTF Bars)### **Higher Timeframe Candle Range Box (HTF Box Indicator)**
This indicator visually highlights the price range of the most recently closed higher-timeframe (HTF) candle, directly on a lower-timeframe chart. It dynamically adjusts based on the user-selected HTF setting (e.g., 15-minute, 1-hour) and ensures that the box is displayed only on the bars that correspond to that specific HTF candle’s duration.
For instance, if a trader is on a **1-minute chart** with the **HTF set to 15 minutes**, the indicator will draw a box spanning exactly 15 one-minute candles, corresponding to the previous 15-minute HTF candle. The box updates only when a new HTF candle completes, ensuring that it does not change mid-formation.

The script uses TradingView’s `request.security` function to pull **high, low, open, and close** values from the **previously completed HTF candle** (using ` ` to avoid repainting). It also fetches the **high and low of the candle before that** (using ` `) for comparison.
2. **Determines Breakout Behavior**
It compares the **last closed HTF candle** to the **one before it** to determine whether:
- It **broke above** the previous high.
- It **broke below** the previous low.
- It **broke both** the high and low.
- It **stayed within the previous candle’s range** (no breakout).
3. **Classifies the Candle & Assigns Color**
- **Green (Bullish)**
- Closes above the previous candle’s high.
- Breaks below the previous candle’s low but closes back inside the previous range **if it opened above** the previous high.
- **Red (Bearish)**
- Closes below the previous candle’s low.
- Breaks above the previous candle’s high but closes back inside the previous range **if it opened below** the previous low.
- **Orange (Neutral/Indecisive)**
- Stays within the previous candle’s range.
- Breaks both the high and low but closes inside the previous range without a clear bias.
4. **Box Placement on the Lower Timeframe**
- The script tracks the **bar index** where each HTF candle starts on the lower timeframe (e.g., every 15 bars on a 1-minute chart if HTF = 15 minutes).
- It **only displays the box on those bars**, ensuring that the range is accurately reflected for that time period.
- The box **resets and updates** only when a new HTF candle completes.

### **Key Features & Advantages:**
✅ **Clear Higher Timeframe Context:**
- The indicator provides a structured way to analyze HTF price action while trading in a lower timeframe.
- It helps traders identify **HTF support and resistance zones**, potential **breakouts**, and **failed breakouts**.
✅ **Fixed Box Display (No Mid-Candle Repainting):**
- The box is drawn **only after the HTF candle closes**, avoiding misleading fluctuations.
- Unlike other indicators that update live, this one ensures the trader is looking at **confirmed data** only.
✅ **Flexible Timeframe Selection:**
- The user can set **any HTF resolution** (e.g., 5min, 15min, 1hr, 4hr), making it adaptable for different strategies.
✅ **Dynamic Color Coding for Quick Analysis:**
- The **color of the box reflects the market sentiment**, making it easier to spot trends, reversals, and fake-outs.
✅ **No Clutter – Only Applies to the Relevant Bars:**
- Instead of spanning across the whole chart, the range box is **only visible on the bars belonging to the last HTF period**, keeping the chart clean and focused.

### **Example Use Case:**
💡 Imagine a trader is scalping on the **1-minute chart** but wants to factor in **HTF 15-minute structure** to avoid getting caught in bad trades. With this indicator:
- They can see whether the last **15-minute candle** was bullish, bearish, or indecisive.
- If it was **bullish (green)**, they may look for **buying opportunities** at lower timeframes.
- If it was **bearish (red)**, they might anticipate **a potential pullback or continuation down**.
- If the **HTF candle failed to break out**, they know the market is **ranging**, avoiding unnecessary trades.

### **Final Thoughts:**
This indicator is a **powerful addition for traders who combine multiple timeframes** in their analysis. It provides a **clean and structured way to track HTF price movements** without cluttering the chart or requiring constant manual switching between timeframes. Whether used for **intraday trading, swing trading, or scalping**, it adds an extra layer of confirmation for trade entries and exits.
🔹 **Best for traders who:**
- Want **HTF structure awareness while trading lower timeframes**.
- Need **confirmation of breakouts, failed breakouts, or indecision zones**.
- Prefer a **non-repainting tool that only updates after confirmed HTF closes**.
