Trailing Candle CounterThis script is for users who like to monitor and/or analyze a specified number of candles within the time the last candle closed. Al Brooks fans may enjoy this indicator.
While searching for an indicator that already had this functionality I found a script by @Steversteves which counted the candles/percentage within a set period of time. This let me know it could be done. In honor of Steversteves I kept the table the same colors - although, I added code to allow the table to be modified.
When opening the script the user will need to set a begin/end time to analyze – don't worry as you can set anything you want and it can be altered after the script is running.
This image shows the settings for a user to be able to set a begin time and have the indicator count all the candles from that time through to the current time and update at each candle close. The user can move the beginning time as needed. This is useful if the user is monitoring the length of a trend, wedge, channel, etc.:
If the indicator is in view and the beginning time is on the chart the user can select the table to view/select/change the beginning time.
This image shows the settings for a user to monitor the last set of candles since the last candle closed. This is useful if the user expects a pullback after a set number of candles or expects some alteration in a trend within a set number of candles. In this case the user setting is to watch five candles:
This setting is the reason for my creation of this indicator. This image shows the settings for a user to monitor two sets of candles. In this case an additional set of five candles has been added to the original set of five candles:
If one is watching for movements to last a certain number of bars when the first bar of the movement is exiting the background color the user can expect a change in the price momentum.
This image shows the same functionality as in Steversteves original script (although, I used almost none of his original code). The user can set a begin time and end time to analyze the number or red/green candles and the percentage of each within that time period.
If the indicator is in view and the beginning and end times are on the chart the user can select the table to view/select/change the times.

█ CONCEPTS
Green and Red Candles
• A green candle is one that closes with a close price equal to or above the price it opened.
• A red candle is one that closes with a close price that is lower than the price it opened.
Upper Candle Trends
• A higher high candle is one that closes with a higher high price than the high price of the preceding candle.
• A lower high candle is one that closes with a lower high price than the high price of the preceding candle.
• A double-top candle is one that closes with a high price that is equal to the high price of the preceding candle.
Lower Candle Trends
• A higher low candle is one that closes with a higher low price than the low price of the preceding candle.
• A lower low candle is one that closes with a lower low price than the low price of the preceding candle.
• A double-bottom candle is one that closes with a low price that is equal to the low price of the preceding candle.
Muti-Part Upper and Lower Candle Trends
• A multi-part higher high trend begins with the formation of a new higher high and continues until a new lower high ends the trend.
• A multi-part lower high trend begins with the formation of a new lower high and continues until a new higher high ends the trend.
• A multi-part higher low trend begins with the formation of a new higher low and continues until a new lower low ends the trend.

Table
The table is colour coded, consists of seven columns and, as many as, thirty-two rows. Blue cells denote the multi-part trend scenarios, green cells denote the corresponding double uptrend candle trend scenarios and red cells denote the corresponding double downtrend candle trend scenarios.
The multi-part double candle trend scenarios are listed in the first column with their corresponding total counts to the right, in the second and fifth columns. The last row in column one, displays the sample period which can be adjusted or hidden via indicator settings.
The third and sixth columns display the double candle trend scenarios as percentages of total 1-part double candle trends. And columns four and seven display the total double candle trend scenarios as percentages of the last, or preceding double candle trend part. For example 4-part double uptrend candle trends as percentages of 3-part double uptrend candle trends.
Plots
I have added plots as a visual aid to the double candle trend scenarios. Green up-arrows, with the number of the trend part, denote double uptrend candle trends. Red down-arrows, with the number of the trend part, denote double downtrend candle trends.
█ HOW TO USE
This indicator is intended for research purposes, strategy development and strategy optimisation. I hope it will be useful in helping to gain a better understanding of the underlying dynamics at play on any given market and timeframe.
It can, for example, give you an idea of whether the current double candle trend will continue or fail, based on the current trend scenario and what has happened in the past under similar circumstances. Such information can be useful when conducting top down analysis across multiple timeframes and making strategic decisions.
What you do with these statistics and how far you decide to take your research is entirely up to you, the possibilities are endless.
█ LIMITATIONS
Some higher timeframe candles on tickers with larger lookbacks such as the DXY , do not actually contain all the open, high, low and close (OHLC) data at the beginning of the chart. Instead, they use the close price for open, high and low prices. So, while we can determine whether the close price is higher or lower than the preceding close price, there is no way of knowing what actually happened intra-bar for these candles. And by default candles that close at the same price as the open price, will be counted as green. You can avoid this problem by utilising the sample period filter.
It is also worth noting that the sample size will be limited to your Trading View subscription plan. Premium users get 20,000 candles worth of data, pro+ and pro users get 10,000, and basic users get 5,000. If upgrading is currently not an option, you can always keep a rolling tally of the statistics in an excel spreadsheet or something of the like.

Heikinisi Candle (With MA + Smoothing + Buy/Sell with Cooldown)This custom Heikinisi Candle (With MA + Smoothing + Buy/Sell with Cooldown) indicator combines the advantages of Heikin-Ashi candles with the flexibility of multiple moving averages and smoothing options. The built-in buy/sell signals with cooldown functionality help traders avoid overtrading while capturing trend reversals and momentum shifts. Whether you're a day trader, swing trader, or long-term investor, this indicator offers powerful tools for analyzing price action and making informed trading decisions.
Note: Disable the regular candle to get better visualization.
Key Features:
Custom Heikin-Ashi Candles:
The core feature of this script is the Heikin-Ashi candles, which are known for smoothing price action and helping traders identify market trends more clearly.
Unlike traditional Heikin-Ashi, this version adjusts the Heikin-Ashi close based on specific price action patterns, including rejection signals and engulfing patterns.
The custom Heikin-Ashi open also incorporates momentum, adjusting dynamically based on recent price changes.
Price Action Measurements:
The indicator measures key price action components, including:
Body: The absolute difference between the open and close.
Candle Range: The total range from high to low.
Upper Wick: The distance from the highest price to the maximum of open or close.
Lower Wick: The distance from the lowest price to the minimum of open or close.
These measurements help detect bullish and bearish conditions, as well as price rejection signals.
Buy/Sell Signal Logic:
Buy Signal: Triggered when the Heikin-Ashi close is above the chosen moving average (MA1), with a cooldown period to avoid too frequent signals.
Sell Signal: Triggered when the Heikin-Ashi close falls below the MA1 after a buy signal has already been issued.
The cooldown period ensures that buy and sell signals are spaced apart by a specific number of bars, preventing excessive signal generation during periods of price consolidation.
Multiple Moving Averages (MA):
This script supports up to three customizable moving averages (MA1, MA2, MA3), each of which can be set to different types and lengths, including:
Simple Moving Average (SMA)
Exponential Moving Average (EMA)
Weighted Moving Average (WMA)
Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA)
Volume Weighted Moving Price (VWMP)
Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA)
Hull Moving Average (HMA)
Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA)
Triple Exponential Moving Average (TEMA)
Users can adjust the length and type of each MA for tailored analysis.
Smoothing Options for MAs:
Users can smooth the output of MAs using various types of smoothing algorithms (SMA, EMA, LSMA, WMA, Gaussian) and a customizable length. This helps to reduce noise in the moving average lines and provides clearer signals.
Gaussian Filter (Advanced Smoothing):
A Gaussian Filter is available as a smoothing option for MAs. This filter reduces noise and makes the moving averages smoother, which can be particularly helpful in volatile or choppy markets.
Alerts and Visualization:
The script allows users to plot buy and sell signals on the chart with distinctive markers. A Buy Signal is shown below the bar with a lime green marker and text "Buy," while a Sell Signal is shown above the bar with a red marker and text "Sell."
Traders can also set up alerts based on the buy/sell signals to get notified in real time.
Indicator Configuration:
Heikin-Ashi Candle Configuration:
Automatically adjusts Heikin-Ashi candles based on rejection signals, engulfing patterns, and momentum. It uses custom formulas for the Heikin-Ashi open and close, making it more sensitive to price action than standard Heikin-Ashi candles.
Moving Averages (MA) Configuration:
You can select from multiple moving average types and lengths (MA1, MA2, MA3) for trend-following analysis.
Choose between SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, VWMP, LSMA, HMA, DEMA, and TEMA.
Smoothing Options:
Enable or disable smoothing for the moving averages.
Select from different smoothing types, including SMA, EMA, RMA, WMA, LSMA, and Gaussian.
Cooldown Period:
Control the number of bars that must pass before a new buy/sell signal is triggered. This cooldown period helps prevent excessive trading signals in quick succession.
How to Use:
Analyze Price Action with Heikin-Ashi Candles:
The custom Heikin-Ashi candles are ideal for spotting market trends, reversals, and price rejection. Use the candle patterns to gauge the market sentiment.
Use MAs for Trend Confirmation:
The moving averages (MA1, MA2, MA3) can help identify the prevailing trend. A price above a rising MA indicates an uptrend, while a price below a falling MA suggests a downtrend.
Trigger Buy and Sell Signals:
When the Heikin-Ashi close crosses above MA1, a buy signal is triggered.
When the Heikin-Ashi close crosses below MA1 after a buy signal, a sell signal is triggered.
The cooldown period ensures that signals are spaced out, preventing overtrading.
Use Smoothing for Clearer Signals:
If you are trading in a volatile market, you can use the smoothing options to make the MAs smoother and reduce noise.
Naive Bayes Candlestick Pattern Classifier v1.1 BETAAn intermezzo on why i made this script publication..
A : Candlestick Pattern took hours to backtest, why not using Machine Learning techniques?
B : Machine Learning, no that's gonna be really heavy bro!
A : Not really, because we use Naive Bayes.
B : The simplest, yet powerful machine learning algorithm to separate (a.k.a classify) multivariate data.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello, everyone!
After deep research in extracting meaningful information from the market, I ended up building this powerful machine learning indicator based on the evolution of Bayesian Statistics. This indicator not only leverages the simplicity of Naive Bayes but also extends its application to candlestick pattern analysis, making it an invaluable tool for traders who are looking to enhance their technical analysis without spending countless hours manually backtesting each pattern on each market!.
What most interesting part is actually after learning all of likely useless methods like fibonacci, supply and demand, volume profile, etc. We always ended up back to basic like support and resistance and candlestick patterns, but with a slight twist on strategy algorithm design and statistical approach. Thus, the only reason why i made this, because i exactly know that you guys will ended up in this position as time goes by.
The essence of this indicator lies in its ability to automate the recognition and statistical evaluation of various candlestick patterns. Traditionally, traders have relied on visual inspection and manual backtesting to determine the effectiveness of patterns like Bullish Engulfing, Bearish Engulfing, Harami variations, Hammer formations, and even more complex multi-candle patterns such as Three White Soldiers, Three Black Crows, Dark Cloud Cover, and Piercing Pattern. However, these conventional methods are both time-consuming and prone to subjective bias.
To address these challenges, I employed Naive Bayes—a probabilistic classifier that, despite its simplicity, offers robust performance in various domains. Naive Bayes assumes that each feature is independent of the others given the class label, which, although a strong assumption, works remarkably well in practice, especially when the dataset is large like market data and the feature space is high-dimensional. In our case, each candlestick pattern acts as a feature that can be statistically evaluated based on its historical performance. The indicator calculates a probability that a given pattern will lead to a price reversal, by comparing the pattern’s close price to the highest or lowest price achieved in a lookahead window.
One of the standout features of this script is its flexibility. Each candlestick pattern is not only coded into the system but also comes with individual toggles to enable or disable them based on your trading strategy. This means you can choose to focus on single-candle patterns like Bullish Engulfing or more complex multi-candle formations such as Three White Soldiers, without modifying the core code. The built-in customization options allow you to adjust colors and labels for each pattern, giving you the freedom to tailor the visual output to your preference. This level of customization ensures that the indicator integrates seamlessly into your existing TradingView setup.
Moreover, the indicator isn’t just about pattern recognition—it also incorporates outcome-based learning. Every time a pattern is detected, it looks ahead a predefined number of bars to evaluate if the expected reversal actually materialized. This outcome is then stored in arrays, and over time, the script dynamically calculates the probability of success for each pattern. These probabilities are presented in a real-time updating table on your chart, which shows not only the percentage probability but also the count of historical occurrences. With this information at your fingertips, you can quickly gauge the reliability of each pattern in your chosen market and timeframe.
Another significant advantage of this approach is its speed and efficiency. While more complex machine learning models like neural networks might require heavy computational resources and longer training times, the Naive Bayes classifier in this script is lightweight, instantaneous and can be updated on the fly with each new bar. This real-time capability is essential for modern traders who need to make quick decisions in fast-paced markets.
Furthermore, by automating the process of backtesting, the indicator frees up your time to focus on other aspects of trading strategy development. Instead of manually analyzing hundreds or even thousands of candles, you can rely on the statistical power of Naive Bayes to provide you with insights on which patterns are most likely to result in profitable moves. This not only enhances your efficiency but also helps to eliminate the cognitive biases that often plague manual analysis.
In summary, this indicator represents a fusion of traditional candlestick analysis with modern machine learning techniques. It harnesses the simplicity and effectiveness of Naive Bayes to deliver a dynamic, real-time evaluation of various candlestick patterns. Whether you are a seasoned trader looking to refine your technical analysis or a beginner eager to understand market dynamics, this tool offers a powerful, customizable, and efficient solution. Welcome to a new era where advanced statistical methods meet practical trading insights—happy trading and may your patterns always be in your favor!
Note : On this current released beta version, you must manually adjust reversal percentage move based on each market. Further updates may include automated best range detection and probability.
Strategy: Candlestick Wick Analysis with Volume Conditions
This strategy focuses on analyzing the wicks (or shadows) of candlesticks to identify potential trading opportunities based on candlestick structure and volume. Based on these criteria, it places stop orders at the extremities of the wicks when certain conditions are met, thus increasing the chances of capturing significant price movements.
Trading Criteria
Volume Conditions:
The strategy checks if the volume of the current candle is higher than that of the previous three candles. This ensures that the observed price movement is supported by significant volume, increasing the probability that the price will continue in the same direction.
Wick Analysis:
Upper Wick:
If the upper wick of a candle represents more than 90% of its body size and is longer than the lower wick, this indicates that the price tested a resistance level before pulling back.
Order Placement: In this case, a Buy Stop order is placed at the upper extremity of the wick. This means that if the price rises back to this level, the order will be triggered, and the trader will take a buy position.
SL Management: A stop-loss is then placed below the lowest point of the same candle. This protects the trader by limiting losses if the price falls back after the order is triggered.
Lower Wick:
If the lower wick of a candle is longer than the upper wick and represents more than 90% of its body size, this indicates that the price tested a support level before rising.
Order Placement: In this case, a Sell Stop order is placed at the lower extremity of the wick. Thus, if the price drops back to this level, the order will be triggered, and the trader will take a sell position.
SL Management: A stop-loss is then placed above the highest point of the same candle. This ensures risk management by limiting losses if the price rebounds upward after the order is triggered.
Strategy Advantages
Responsiveness to Price Movements: The strategy is designed to detect significant price movements based on the market's reaction around support and resistance levels. By placing stop orders directly at the wick extremities, it allows capturing strong movements in the direction indicated by the candles.
Securing Positions: Using stop-losses positioned just above or below key levels (wicks) provides better risk management. If the market doesn't move as expected, the position is automatically closed with a limited loss.
Clear Visual Indicators: Symbols are displayed on the chart at the points where orders have been placed, making it easier to understand trading decisions. This helps to quickly identify the support or resistance levels tested by the price, as well as potential entry points.
Conclusion
The strategy is based on the idea that large wicks signal areas where buyers or sellers have tested significant price levels before temporarily retreating. By placing stop orders at the extremities of these wicks, the strategy allows capturing price movements when they confirm, while limiting risks through strategically placed stop-losses. It thus offers a balanced approach between capturing potential profit and managing risk.
This description emphasizes the idea of capturing significant market movements with stop orders while providing a clear explanation of the logic and risk management. It’s tailored for publication on TradingView and highlights the robustness of the strategy.
Muqwishi Volumetric CandleIntroduction
Have you ever heard that each candle represents a battle between bulls (buyer) and bears (seller)? If you know the answer, apparently you understand what the price action means. What if I ask you, how much was bloody in each battle between bulls and bears?!. This indicator may give a clear picture of how to identify the candle’s strength by implementing the Standard Deviation on volume and reshape the candle.
The Muqwishi Volumetric Candles indicator works to weigh each candle instantaneously and updates its color level from lightness to darkness based on the rate of the volumetric standard deviation.
Here’s how the idea started with the conceptual design, then improved till achieved to the implemented design of a structured candle.
The conceptual design mentioned for reviewing how the idea started. However, I want you to understand the “implemented design” in which the indicator has been built to address it. As I stated structurally for the implemented design section, wick and border are identified by the user through “Chart Properties” unlike core and body is measured by the indicator.
The candle’s body is ”Dynamic” that colored based on the amount of volume standard deviation in which the low volume standard deviation is a lighter candle’s color and the high volume standard deviation is a darker candle’s color. The core is “Static” color represents zero volume standard deviation which the volume at the average level. In the case where the core is darker than the body means the volume standard deviation is lower than the average volume level, and when the core is lighter than the body mean the volume standard deviation is higher than the average volume level, and when the core’s color has the same body’s color means the volume is in the average level. The image is the best guide to understand the idea.
Rarely seeing a volume standard deviation below -2σ, even though the volume is apparently dead. However, it’s possible to see more than 3.9σ, and mostly it has the same effect as 3.9σ. Personally, any candle above 1.5σ is taking my attention, and more than 2σ I look around seeking for reasons to not take a trade.
§§ Note, if you have misunderstood the standard deviation concept, there are many great sources to understand it such as Wikipedia, YouTube,... etc. In a basic example, How much is your height relative to the height of average people in your city!!?. Similarly, how much is the amount of volume relative to the average volume of a number series of previous bars?!.
Indicator Overview
Before I get into this section, this is NOT meant to be an educational or recommendation. Just showing you how I use this indicator based on an experience.
The chart above has been remarked as an example of how I apply it. Again, it’s a personal preference, and it doesn’t mean this’s an efficient way.
Indicator Setting
➤ Ensure to visualize the indicator to the front for recognition of the candle’s core.

Summarize
■ Users should have a fundamental knowledge of Standard Deviation.
■ The candle’s body is dynamic colored. Got light as low volume standard deviation, and Dark as high volume standard deviation occurred.
■ The Candle’s core is static colored. Represents the average volume which Standard Deviation equals zero.
■ This’s not a trading signal. It works to visualize the level of transactions made per candle.
Final Comments
■ My goal was to achieve the conceptual design, but there’re many obstacles that go beyond the coding ability.

CPR with inside candle, Pivot Points and 4EMA The CPR trading strategy is a technical analysis approach that combines multiple indicators to determine potential price levels and trading opportunities. The strategy uses three main components: Inside Candles, Pivot Points, and the 4EMA.
Inside Candles: The Inside Candle pattern is a candlestick pattern where the current candle has a lower high and a higher low than the previous candle. This pattern can indicate a period of consolidation or indecision in the market and can signal a potential reversal or continuation of the trend.
Pivot Points: Pivot Points are technical indicators that use the previous day's price data to calculate key levels of support and resistance for the current trading day. These levels can act as potential areas of buying or selling pressure and can help traders identify potential entry and exit points.
4EMA: The 4EMA is a short-term Exponential Moving Average that tracks the average price of an asset over the previous four periods. This indicator is used to help identify short-term trends in the market and can signal potential buying or selling opportunities.
To apply the CPR strategy, traders first look for Inside Candles on their chart, indicating a period of consolidation or indecision in the market. Next, they identify the Pivot Points for the current trading day, which can act as potential areas of support or resistance. Finally, traders use the 4EMA to confirm the direction of the trend and potential entry or exit points.
For example, if an Inside Candle forms at a Pivot Point level and the 4EMA is indicating an uptrend, this could be a potential buying opportunity. Conversely, if an Inside Candle forms at a Pivot Point level and the 4EMA is indicating a downtrend, this could be a potential selling opportunity.
Oxy CandlestickOxymoronic (oxy) candlesticks often appear at significant levels in a chart and can indicate increased probabilities of directional moves.
Typically, green candles are hollow and red candles are filled. An oxymoronic candle is colored bullishly but filled bearishly (solid green) or vice versa (hollow red).
Oxy flags occur when:
1) Price gaps up and closes lower than the open but above the last close. A solid green (or black) candle is bearish.
2) Price gaps down and closes higher than the open but below the last close. A hollow red candle is bullish.
An oxy candle indicates one of three things:
1) Price is going up (bullish oxy)
2) Price is going down (bearish oxy)
3) Price will return to this level (either)
#1 and #2 are the default meaning. If those don't play out then look for #3.
As is the case with most indicators, it is best not to use this indicator in isolation, but to combine it with other forms of analysis to increase your probabilities and to identify significant levels.
DeltaStrike — Aggressive Candle Detector by Chaitu50cDeltaStrike — Aggressive Candle Detector
by Chaitu50c
DeltaStrike is a simple and effective tool designed to help traders identify the most aggressive candles on the chart in real time. It works purely on price action and internal candle dynamics, with no reliance on lagging indicators.
The indicator combines delta (directional strength), candle range, and volume to compute an overall aggressiveness score for each candle. When this score exceeds a dynamic threshold based on recent market behavior, the candle is marked as an aggressive move.
Aggressive bullish candles are plotted as green diamonds below the candle, while aggressive bearish candles are plotted as red diamonds above the candle. The goal is to help traders visually spot moments of strong directional pressure, where potential trends or reversals may emerge.
The detection logic adapts automatically to changing market volatility and volume, making it suitable for all instruments and timeframes, including index futures, equities, and forex.
An integrated dashboard on the chart displays live readings of the key components contributing to each candle’s aggressiveness score: delta ratio, range ratio, and volume ratio. This helps traders understand the internal structure of each aggressive move.
Features:
Dynamic aggressiveness detection based on delta, range, and volume
Adaptive threshold for consistent behavior across timeframes and instruments
Clean chart output with clear diamond markers only on selected candles
Live dashboard with internal metrics for advanced analysis
Simple, lightweight, and optimized for intraday and swing trading
Works with any instrument: index, equity, forex, commodity
DeltaStrike is intended as an objective visual aid to help traders focus on genuine moments of strong market intent, filtering out ordinary or passive price movement. It can be used standalone or in combination with your existing trading strategy.
Consecutive CandlesSummary
This indicator helps visualize short-term momentum by automatically drawing boxes around sequences of consecutive same-colored candles (bullish or bearish). It's designed to quickly highlight periods of sustained buying or selling pressure directly on your chart.
How it Works
Consecutive Candle Detection: The script monitors the chart bar by bar, tracking consecutive candles where close > open (bullish) or close < open (bearish).
Box Drawing: When a sequence of same-colored candles reaches a user-defined minimum length (default is 3) and this sequence is then broken by an opposite-colored candle or a doji, a box is drawn.
Box Boundaries:
The top of the box is set to the highest high price reached during the sequence.
The bottom of the box is set to the lowest low price reached during the sequence.
The left edge of the box aligns with the start time of the first candle in the sequence.
The right edge of the box aligns with the end time of the last candle in the sequence.
Stability: Uses xloc = xloc.bar_time to ensure boxes remain accurately anchored to the price bars when zooming or panning the chart.
Real-time Extension: For active sequences meeting the minimum length on the latest developing bar, the box is optionally extended to the right.
Features
Automatically identifies and boxes sequences of 3 or more (customizable) consecutive bullish candles.
Automatically identifies and boxes sequences of 3 or more (customizable) consecutive bearish candles.
Extends box in real-time for active qualifying sequences.
Customizable minimum candle count (>= 2).
Customizable colors for bullish/bearish boxes and borders.
Settings
You can customize the indicator via the Settings menu (gear icon):
Minimum Consecutive Candles: Define how many candles in a row are needed to draw a box (Default: 3).
Bullish Box Color: Set the fill color for boxes around bullish sequences.
Bearish Box Color: Set the fill color for boxes around bearish sequences.
Box Border Color: Set the color for the border of all boxes.
Potential Use Cases
Momentum Identification: Quickly spot periods of strong, uninterrupted buying or selling.
Exhaustion/Reversal Signals: Very long sequences might indicate potential exhaustion, setting up reversal opportunities.
Consolidation Breakouts: A box forming after a period of tight consolidation can highlight the range just before a potential breakout.
Confirmation: Use the boxes as confirmation for entries or exits based on momentum shifts.
Disclaimer: This indicator provides visual aids based on price action. It should not be used as a standalone trading system. Always use indicators in conjunction with your own analysis and risk management rules.
Volume Width Based Candles
Overview
This indicator reimagines traditional candlestick charts by adjusting the horizontal width of each candle based on the bar’s trading volume. In other words, candles with higher volume appear wider, while those with lower volume are drawn narrower. This extra visual dimension can help traders quickly identify bars with significant volume relative to a defined lookback period.
Key Components
Volume Normalization:
The script calculates the highest volume over a user-defined lookback period (default is 100 bars).
Each bar’s volume is then normalized by dividing it by this maximum value. The result is a value between 0 and 1 that represents how the current volume compares to the maximum over the lookback.
Variable Candle Width Calculation:
A base multiplier (default set to 0.4) is used to control how much the volume influences the candle width.
The normalized volume is multiplied by this multiplier to compute an offset value.
Instead of using timestamps (which could lead to drawing objects too far into the future), the script uses the bar_index (the sequential index of bars) to determine the left and right positions of each candle.
The left and right x–positions are calculated by subtracting and adding the offset from the current bar index, respectively.
Candle Body & Wick Drawing:
Candle Body:
The body is drawn using box.new as a rectangle.
The top and bottom of the box are determined by the higher and lower values of the open and close prices.
The color of the candle is set based on whether the bar is bullish (green) or bearish (red).
Wicks:
The upper wick is drawn from the high of the bar down to the top of the body.
The lower wick is drawn from the low up to the bottom of the body.
These are created using line.new at the current bar index.
Handling Edge Cases:
The indicator includes conditions to avoid drawing errors on the very first bar (or any bar where prior data is unavailable).
It also converts the calculated x–coordinates (which are derived from the bar index plus a floating point offset) to integers since box.new requires integer values for positioning.
What It Tells the Trader
Volume Visualization:
Wider candles indicate bars where trading volume is high relative to recent history, potentially highlighting periods of increased market activity.
Narrower candles suggest lower volume, which can signal less interest or participation during that bar.
Contextual Price Action:
By integrating volume into the visual representation of each candle, traders get an immediate sense of the strength behind price movements.
This can be particularly useful for spotting potential breakouts, reversals, or confirming trends when analyzed alongside traditional price-based indicators.
Customization Options
Volume Lookback Period:
You can adjust the number of bars considered when determining the maximum volume. A shorter period may be more responsive to recent changes, while a longer period provides a broader context.
Base Width Multiplier:
Adjusting this multiplier changes how pronounced the effect of volume is on the candle’s width. Increasing it will make high-volume candles even wider, and decreasing it will reduce the difference between high and low volume candles.
Final Thoughts
This indicator is a creative way to overlay volume information directly onto the price chart without the need for separate volume bars. It provides an at-a-glance understanding of market activity and can be a valuable addition to a trader’s toolkit, especially for those who prefer visual cues integrated with price action. However, due to limitations (like the maximum number of drawn boxes), it’s best used on charts with a moderate amount of historical data or with appropriate adjustments to manage performance.
Volatility-Driven CandleThis indicator identifies and highlights "volatility-driven candles" on a price chart, based on their body size relative to market volatility. It calculates the Average True Range (ATR) over a 14-period window to measure volatility. A candle is considered "volatility-driven" if its body (the difference between the close and open prices) exceeds a user-defined threshold, which is specified as a multiple of the ATR.
The script distinguishes between bullish and bearish volatility-driven candles:
Bullish volatility-driven candles (where the close is greater than the open) are marked with a blue label.
Bearish volatility-driven candles (where the close is less than the open) are marked with an orange label.
Additionally, the background color of the chart is shaded:
Blue for bullish volatility-driven candles.
Orange for bearish volatility-driven candles.
This script helps traders easily spot significant price movements relative to volatility, highlighting potential reversal points based on candle body size.

Candles Volume HeatMap [BigBeluga]Candles Volume HeatMap
The Candle Volume HeatMap indicator is a unique and advanced tool that visualizes lower timeframe volume activity within higher timeframe candles, offering traders a granular perspective on volume distribution.
⚠️Important note: before using the indicator, it is necessary to apply it to the candles
🔵Key Features:
Volume HeatMap Visualization: The indicator breaks down each higher timeframe candle into 10 equal vertical segments (boxes) based on its high-to-low range. Each box represents a lower timeframe candle's volume activity, with more intense colors indicating stronger volume levels.
Lower Timeframe Integration: Automatically uses a timeframe 10x lower than the current chart. For example, on a 10-hour chart, it uses 1-hour candles to extract volume data.
POC (Point of Control): The highest volume box within each candle is marked with the volume value. The indicator also plots a horizontal POC line at the level of this box, highlighting significant areas of price interest. The POC line is removed once the price crosses it, ensuring the chart stays clean.
Delta Display (Optional): Traders can enable the Delta feature to analyze buyer vs. seller activity within each higher timeframe candle.
Delta is calculated by summing 10 lower timeframe candles: a bullish candle adds to buyers, while a bearish candle adds to sellers. Displays the net Delta percentage: positive values (white) indicate buyer dominance, while negative values (red) indicate seller dominance.
Dynamic Volume Scaling: The highest volume value in each candle is displayed inside its respective box, providing quick insights into critical price-volume levels.
🔵How It Works:
For each higher timeframe candle, the indicator analyzes 10 lower timeframe candles and maps their volume into 10 segments (boxes) between the high and low of the current candle.
The intensity of each box's color corresponds to the relative volume of the lower timeframe candle it represents.
The POC highlights the price level with the highest concentration of volume, aiding in identifying potential support/resistance zones.
Delta analysis offers additional insights into market sentiment by breaking down buyer and seller activity in each candle.
🔵Use Cases:
Spotting key volume areas within higher timeframe candles to identify support and resistance levels.
Analyzing volume concentration for potential breakout or reversal zones.
Leveraging Delta analysis to gauge market sentiment and confirm volume-based trends.
This indicator is ideal for traders seeking to combine volume analysis with price action, offering precise insights into volume distribution and market dynamics.

Indecision Candle FinderIndecision Candle Finder, is a simple indicator for quickly identifying indecision candles.
What does Indecision Candle Finder Indicator Does?
This indicator enables quick and easy identification of indecision candles. When an indecision candle appears on a chart, this indicator identifies this candle with either a red circle for a bearish indecision candle, or a green circle for bullish indecision candle.
What is an indecision candle?
Indecision candles are relatively small and opposite direction candles that appear between two equal direction candles on a trending market. These candles usually have a smaller body than their wicks and can appear on any timeframe.
How to use Indecision Candle Finder Properly?
Indecision candles by definition indicate indecisiveness in the market. These are areas where some traders, especially the smart money do trades opposite to the market direction. On a trending market, these areas may work as resistance/support zones when the trend changes or the market makes a correction.
Indecision Candles especially work well on higher timeframes.
Example #1
In this graph, we can see a valid example of an indecision candle. A relatively small bearish candle appearing on a trending market. This zone worked as a resistance zone when the trend changes.
Upper Candle Trends [theEccentricTrader]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator simply plots upper candle trends and should be used in conjunction with my Lower Candle Trends indicator as a visual aid to my Upper and Lower Candle Trend Counter indicator.
█ CONCEPTS
Green and Red Candles
• A green candle is one that closes with a close price equal to or above the price it opened.
• A red candle is one that closes with a close price that is lower than the price it opened.
Upper Candle Trends
• A higher high candle is one that closes with a higher high price than the high price of the preceding candle.
• A lower high candle is one that closes with a lower high price than the high price of the preceding candle.
• A double-top candle is one that closes with a high price that is equal to the high price of the preceding candle.
Lower Candle Trends
• A higher low candle is one that closes with a higher low price than the low price of the preceding candle.
• A lower low candle is one that closes with a lower low price than the low price of the preceding candle.
• A double-bottom candle is one that closes with a low price that is equal to the low price of the preceding candle.
Muti-Part Upper and Lower Candle Trends
• A multi-part higher high trend begins with the formation of a new higher high and continues until a new lower high ends the trend.
• A multi-part lower high trend begins with the formation of a new lower high and continues until a new higher high ends the trend.
• A multi-part higher low trend begins with the formation of a new higher low and continues until a new lower low ends the trend.
• A multi-part lower low trend begins with the formation of a new lower low and continues until a new higher low ends the trend.
█ FEATURES
Plots
Green up-arrows, with the number of the trend part, denote higher high trends. Red down-arrows, with the number of the trend part, denote lower high trends.
█ LIMITATIONS
Some higher timeframe candles on tickers with larger lookbacks such as the DXY , do not actually contain all the open, high, low and close (OHLC) data at the beginning of the chart. Instead, they use the close price for open, high and low prices. So, while we can determine whether the close price is higher or lower than the preceding close price, there is no way of knowing what actually happened intra-bar for these candles. And by default candles that close at the same price as the open price, will be counted as green.
