Price-Action CandlesWhat is a swing high or swing low?
Swing highs and lows are price extremes. For example say we set our swing length to 5. A candle that is a swing high with a swing length of 5 will have 5 bars to the left that are lower and 5 bars to the right that are lower. A candle that is a swing low with a swing length of 5 will have 5 bars to the left that are higher and 5 bars to the right that are higher.
How are the trend candles calculated?
The trend candles are calculated by storing and comparing historical swing lows and swing highs.
The pinescript code goes as follows:
The pinescript code goes as follows:
var int trend = na
trend := ((hh and high >= psh) or close > csh) ? 1 : ((ll and low <= psl) or close < csl) ? -1 : lh or hl ? 0 : trend
What does that gibberish mean?
-Candle can be GREEN IF
- We have a higher high (current swing high is greater than the previous swing high) and the high is greater than the previous swing high
- OR The current close is greater than the current swing high
-Candle can be RED IF
- We have a lower low (current swing low is less than the previous swing low) and the low is less than the previous swing low
- OR The current close is less than the current swing low
-Candle can be YELLOW IF
- We have a new swing high and the new swing high is less than the previous swing high
- OR We have a new swing low and the new swing low is greater than the previous swing low
If none of the conditions above are true then we continue with whatever color the previous bar was.
What is repainting?
Repainting is "script behavior causing historical vs realtime calculations or plots to behave differently." That definition comes directly from Tradingview. If you want to read the full explanation you can visit it here www.tradingview.com . The price-action candles use swing highs and swing lows which need bars to the left (past) and bars to the right ("future") in order to confirm the swing level. Because of the need to wait for confirmation to for swing levels the plot style can be repainting. With the price-action candles indicator the only repainting part of the indicator is the labels. The price-action candles themselves WILL NOT REPAINT. The labels however can be set to repaint or not depending on the user preference. If the user opts to use repainting then the label location is shifted back by the length of the price-action. So if the "Price-Action Length" input is set to 10, and the user wants repainting, the swing high/low label will be shifted back 10 bars. If the user opts for no repainting, the label will not be shifted and instead show on the exact bar the swing level was confirmed.
Examples Below.
Repaint
Here the labels are shifted back the price-action length.
Non-Repaint
Here the labels are not shifted back because the input setting is set to not repaint.
Multi-timeframe Analysis
The users can view the trend from multiple different timeframes at once with a table displayed at the bottom of their charts. The timeframe can be lower or higher than the chart timeframe.
More examples
Be on the lookout for the Price Action Candles (Lower) indicator where you can view the multi-timeframe labels on a lower price grid in order to see the history over time!

Equivolume - volume as candle widthDo price action and volume really need to be on separate graphs? Why not display them both on a single graph and reduce the clutter? Presenting Equivolume candles here on TradingView - inspired by the NinjaTrader implementation
This indicator allows you to view traditional OHLC candles but with the additional ability to see relative volume through variations of width and/or transparency
Explanation
- Wide and/or full colour candles have the highest volume
- Thin and/or highly transparent candles have the lowest volume
- The following diagram shows the Equivolume indicator as well as a traditional volume graph along the bottom. You can see that when the volume is highest, the candle is widest and also the most intense color.
- The `Lookback candle count` user parameter specifies the number of candles to use in order to locate the highest volume within that range. All other candle widths in the range will be adjusted relative to this highest volume
Tips
- Toggle off the visibility of the original graph for the instrument to get the best view of the candles when using variable transparency
Gotchas
- Due to a Pine Script limitation a maximum of 500 variable width candles can be drawn on the chart
- If `Lookback candle count` is higher than the total number of available candles for the instrument, then the indicator will fail and not display anything. I’m still investigating how to handle this case better
- Be aware if you are using the `High` setting for the `Transparency range` parameter, candles with the lowest volume will be virtually invisible
Leg/Base & GAP CandlesThis script, redraws the Minute, Hourly, Daily, Weekly, Monthly candles for gap up and gap down situation. Also this candle marks the LEG candles and BASE Candles with different colors to mark the supply and demand zone.
This script is only for Indian NSE markets (09:15 to 15:30) for GAP up/GAP down redraw.
This script is most beneficial for TradeLegend students.
This script is originally made by me, and no code has been modified or copied from anywhere else except Pinescript documentation.
Dynamic Volume CandlesThese candlesticks fill with opacity based on the significance of the volume compared to the volume's EMA.
Candlestick Patterns by Dipak V2I am really excited to publish my work, I know its at the beginning but there is a lot to come in the future. I am writing a script to identify the candlestick patterns. In this version, I have added Hammer and Hanging Man Pattern in the first version, I know its less but its a beginning, I will keep adding the new information in my script in upcoming versions.
This script is for only learning purpose and not for treading realtime. In this script, it only identifies the pattern and does not check for its confirmation or does not provide any stop-loss, Also it does not check the prior trend before the pattern. These things really matter in the live trade. But in future, I am planning to add these things.
If you like my work, please like or comment your ideas I will try to include those in upcoming versions.
Hanging Man:
Hanging man is a bearish reversal candlestick pattern that signals about the uptrend or advancing phase are over and bulls have lost their control. Color of the candle is not important.
Identity:
1) Comes after a significant up rally or uptrend or advancing phase.
2) Small real body at the top.
3) Long lower shadow at least twice the real body.
4) Very small or no upper shadow.
Confirmation:
Immediate next candle’s close should be below the hanging man’s real body.
StopLoss:
There is a potential resistance level above the top of the hanging man. Stoploss should be above the resistance area or at the high of the hanging man.
Hammer:
Hammer is a bullish reversal candlestick pattern that signals about the downtrend or declining phase are over and bears have lost their control. Color of the candle is not important.
Identity:
1) Comes after significant down rally or downtrend or declining phase.
2) Small real body at the top.
3) Long lower shadow at least twice the real body.
4) Very small or no upper shadow.
Confirmation:
Immediate next candle’s close should be above the hammer’s low.
StopLoss:
There is a potential support level below the low of the hammer. Stoploss should be below the support area or at the low of the hammer.
Note: The candle is the same for Hanging Man and Hammer , Difference is where they appear in the uptrend or in the downtrend that makes the real difference.
HTF Candlestick Patterns [TradingView] vX by DGTCandlesticks are graphical representations of price movements for a given period of time. They are commonly formed by the opening, high, low, and closing prices of a financial instrument. They have their origins in the centuries-old Japanese rice trade and have made their way into modern day price charting.
It’s important to note that candlestick patterns aren’t necessarily a buy or sell signal by themselves. They are instead a way to look at market structure and a potential indication of an upcoming opportunity. It is always useful to look at candlestick patterns in context like any other market analysis tool and candlestick patterns are most useful when used in combination with other techniques. There are countless candlestick patterns that traders can use to identify areas of interest on a chart, where some candlestick patterns may provide insights into the balance between buyers and sellers, others may indicate a reversal, continuation, or indecision.
Reversal patterns are quite useful when used in context. Reversal patterns should form at the bottom of a downtrend or at the top of an uptrend. Otherwise, they are not a reversal patterns, but continuation patterns. Most reversal patterns require confirmation such as price move in the direction of reversal accompanied by appropriate trading volume. The reversal patterns can further be confirmed through other means of traditional technical analysis—like trend lines, momentum, oscillators, or volume indicators—to reaffirm buying or selling pressure. The patterns themselves do not guarantee that the trend will reverse. Investors should always confirm reversal by the subsequent price action before initiating a trade.
This study implements some of the most commonly used candlestick patterns in a context with directional movement indicator. On request users can adjust the strong trend threshold from dialog box, eighter can disabled correlation with directional movement indicator. To add additional sight to analysis the simple moving averages of 20, 50, 100 and 200 periods are added (configurable)
You may add additional indicators of your choice. Colored DMI, BB Cloud or Price Distance to its MAs may help

Candlestick Trend Indicator v0.5 by JustUncleLRequested Update to this Indicator alert project. In this update I have added the option to be able select which Price Action candles you want included in the display and the generated alarm Alert. Other changes also included in this update:
Also added a Price Action candle for "Last Fractal S/R Break", this also a good continuation indication.
Added option to select a different moving average types for directional MA line.
Modified some default settings, using HullMA instead of Zero Lag EMA and standard MACD settings(12,26,9).
Description:
This is a trend following indicator and alert for Binary Options based on Candlestick patterns and trend line -
NOTE: original system was a forex trading system.
This code combines a number of indicators to create an overall trading strategy.
The indicator recognises and displays some useful candle named defined patterns that are used to support trend continuation:
Bearish + Bullish PinBars
Dark Cloud Cover
Piecing Line
Bullish + Bearish Harami
Bullish + Bearish Engulfing Candle
Bullish + Bearish Last Fractal S/R break
Also recognises main Price Action candles from ChrisMoody (CM), the four(4) price action patterns are colored coded bars:
Yellow = Inside Bar - breakout/continuance
Orange = Outside Bar - breakout/continuance
Aqua/Fuschia = Up/Down Shaved Bars - Buying/Selling pressure
Red/Green = Possible reversal PinBars - Reverse Down / reverse Up
The highlighted candles (maroon and darker green) represent the defined PA patterns that have been confirmed following the current trend direction that is indicated by the Hull MA(20) line (can select a different type of MA, or even disable) and confirmed by MACD direction (can be disabled). The confirmed Alerts are indication by green (buy) and red (sell) dots at the bottom of the chart. An alert is generated from this selection for the alert condition of the alarming system.
The fractal upper/lower break lines are also draw, if the (optional) last fractal break line is broken by a highlighted bar then this indicates a stronger trend conformation.
The MACD indicator MACD DEUTER 2 colour(12,26,9) you can visually see the MACD histogram colours with MACD direction - needs "MACD DEUTER 2 colour" indicator.
This multi-indicator set up is suitable for 1hr, 4hr and daily charts with 1-4 candle expiry.

Impulsive Candle Detector TRW [3-in-1]Impulsive Candle Detector
Description: professor Michael impulsive candle but 3 -1 code by me
The Impulsive Candle Detector is a powerful tool designed to identify and highlight three different types of impulsive candles on your TradingView chart—all in a single, customizable indicator. Each impulsive candle type uses its own configurable settings, allowing traders to easily visualize various market dynamics without crowding their charts with multiple indicators.
How it works:
The indicator detects “impulsive” candles based on custom thresholds for candle range, volume, and body-to-wick ratio.
Each of the three types is independently configurable with its own parameters (length for averages, size multiplier, volume multiplier, body ratio, and color).
When an impulsive candle is detected, the corresponding bar is colored and can optionally display a label above the candle indicating its type.
Separate alerts can be set for each impulsive candle type, enabling you to react to different market conditions instantly.
Features:
Three independent impulsive candle detection types, all in one indicator
Adjustable settings for each type (range, volume, body ratio, and color)
Clean, uncluttered chart view
Custom bar coloring and optional labels for instant visual recognition
Supports individual alert notifications for each impulsive candle type
Perfect for:
Traders looking to spot strong market moves or volatility spikes
Those who want to monitor multiple impulsive candle patterns without overlapping indicators
Anyone who values clean and customizable charting solutions
Unified Sentiment Candles Overlay (SMA)Unified Sentiment Candles (SMA) Indicator
The Unified Sentiment Candles (SMA) is a custom overlay indicator designed to provide a smoothed visualization of market sentiment by plotting synthetic candles based on the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of open, high, low, and close prices. It helps traders identify trend direction and potential reversals more clearly.
How to Use:
- Observe Candle Colors: Green candles indicate bullish sentiment (close ≥ open), while red candles suggest bearish sentiment (close < open).
- Trend Identification: Consistent green candles point to an uptrend, whereas consistent red candles may signal a downtrend.
- Support & Resistance Zones: The SMA-based candles smooth out short-term volatility, assisting in spotting key support and resistance levels.
- Entry & Exit Signals: Look for color changes or candle pattern formations within the synthetic candles to time entries and exits more effectively.
Settings:
SMA Length : Adjust this parameter to control the smoothing period. A shorter length makes the indicator more responsive, while a longer length smooths out more noise.
This indicator is best used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to confirm signals and improve trading accuracy.

Engulfing Candles (ATR-Based) with Volume SpikeOverview:
This script is designed to detect high-probability bullish and bearish engulfing patterns — but with a twist: it filters them through ATR-based volatility and confirms strength with volume spikes, all while offering optional trend filtering. It's built for traders who want more than just surface-level candle patterns — it's for those who want contextual confirmation before entering a trade.
What Makes It Different:
Most engulfing candle indicators simply match two candle shapes. This script goes deeper by:
Measuring candle body size relative to recent volatility (via ATR).
Checking for volume confirmation using a dynamic spike threshold.
Filtering based on trend context using SMA-based structure detection.
This tri-layered logic aims to avoid false positives and give traders cleaner, more actionable entries that align with momentum.
Core Concepts:
1. Trend Detection (Optional)
You can choose between two structural filters:
SMA50 only: Looks for price above or below the 50-period SMA to define trend direction.
SMA50 + SMA200 alignment: A stricter rule requiring both fast and slow SMAs to confirm a trend.
Or turn off trend filtering entirely (No detection).
This helps ensure engulfing setups appear in line with the broader trend, increasing the likelihood of continuation.
2. ATR-Filtered Candle Bodies
To eliminate noise:
A candle is only considered a valid engulfing candle if it has a body larger than 1.5× ATR(14).
The previous candle must be a small-bodied candle (less than 0.5× ATR), creating a clear visual engulfing structure.
This method dynamically adjusts for market volatility, so setups are meaningful even during periods of compression or expansion.
3. Volume Spike Confirmation
Not all engulfing candles lead to follow-through. That’s why this script includes a volume confirmation filter:
A 20-period moving average of volume is calculated.
A spike is flagged if the current bar’s volume exceeds 1.5× this average (adjustable).
Patterns with this confirmation are marked with a “*” label (e.g., BU* or BE*) to distinguish volume-backed setups from weaker ones.
Visuals & Alerts:
BU = Bullish engulfing without volume spike
BU* = Bullish engulfing with volume spike
BE = Bearish engulfing without volume spike
BE* = Bearish engulfing with volume spike
A white background highlight is shown behind candles with volume-confirmed engulfing patterns.
Alerts are available for BU* and BE* so you can automate your edge.
How to Use:
Add the indicator to any chart.
Choose your trend filter from the settings panel.
Watch for BU* and BE* labels — these are your highest-conviction signals.
Optional: Combine with support/resistance, Fibonacci zones, or MTF confirmation to refine entries.
Use the included alerts to receive real-time push/email notifications when patterns emerge.
Performance Note:
I’ve found this script to be fairly good when applied to the 1-hour charts of the companies in the US100. The combination of ATR-based filtering and volume confirmation appears to provide clear, high-quality setups with good follow-through potential.
By blending candle patterns, volatility filtering, volume confirmation, and trend context, this script aims to filter out weak signals and highlight the most statistically significant engulfing opportunities.

8:15 AM 15-min Candle Box on 5-min Chart with TP and SLThe “8:15 AM 15-min Candle Box on 5-min Chart with TP and SL” indicator is a custom-built Pine Script tool for breakout trading strategies, particularly tailored for assets like NASDAQ Futures (NAS100) during the U.S. market pre-open.
🔍 What It Does:
Tracks the 8:15–8:30 AM Central Time (CDT) Candle:
It marks the high and low of the 15-minute candle that starts at 8:15 AM (CDT).
The box visually outlines this price range.
Draws a Breakout Box:
At 8:30 AM, a box is drawn from the 8:15 candle’s high and low.
The box stretches forward 8 hours into the session, helping you visualize price interaction with that range.
Detects Breakouts:
If the price closes above the high, it signals a buy breakout.
If it closes below the low, it signals a sell breakout.
Automatically Calculates TP and SL:
Take Profit (TP): 50 pips from the breakout level in the direction of the trade.
Stop Loss (SL): 40 pips in the opposite direction.
Pips are calculated using the symbol’s minimum tick size.
Color Feedback:
Box turns green on a buy breakout, red on a sell breakout.
If TP is reached, the box turns black.
If SL is hit, the box turns purple.
🧠 Why Use This Indicator:
Perfect for pre-market breakout traders who want a visual confirmation of price action around the U.S. market open.
Provides a clear entry range, trade direction, and risk/reward visual cue.
No manual drawing — everything is automated daily based on reliable timing.
Would you like a version with alerts or plotted TP/SL lines as well?
IU Inside out candlestick patternIU Inside Out Candlestick Pattern
This indicator identifies the Inside Out Candlestick Pattern — a unique 3-bar price action setup that captures strong market momentum and potential reversals with greater reliability than traditional patterns.
Pattern Logic:
The Inside Out pattern builds upon a classic engulfing setup by adding a breakout confirmation, making it a refined and filtered approach to candlestick analysis.
Bullish Inside Out Logic:
- Bar must be a bullish engulfing candle (engulfs previous bearish candle).
- Current bar must be bullish and must close above the high of the engulfing candle (a bullish breakout).
- When this setup is confirmed, a shaded green box is drawn around the range of the engulfing candle and its preceding bar.
Bearish Inside Out Logic:
- Bar must be a bearish engulfing candle (engulfs previous bullish candle).
- Current bar must be bearish and must close below the low of the engulfing candle (a bearish breakdown).
- When confirmed, a red box highlights the zone formed by the engulfing candle and its prior bar.
Why this is unique:
Unlike conventional candlestick indicators that trigger signals immediately after an engulfing pattern, this script adds a breakout condition to validate follow-through strength. This reduces false positives and gives traders a clearer edge. The pattern is also rare, which means it captures strong, decisive moves when it does appear.
How users can benefit:
- High-quality entries: Only shows patterns with proven follow-through, improving trade timing.
- Visual clarity: Boxes and labels highlight significant price zones for easy interpretation.
- Flexible use: Applicable across timeframes and instruments — ideal for both intraday and swing traders.
- Alerts included: Real-time alerts help traders stay updated without staring at charts all day.
This script is a powerful tool for price action traders looking to enhance pattern reliability and signal strength through structure-based breakout confirmation.
Candle Trend PowerThe Candle Trend Power is a custom technical indicator designed for advanced trend analysis and entry signal generation. It combines multiple smoothing methods, candle transformations, and volatility bands to visually and analytically enhance your trading decisions.
🔧 Main Features:
📉 Custom Candle Types
It transforms standard OHLC candles into one of several advanced types:
Normal Candles, Heikin-Ashi, Linear Regression, Rational Quadratic (via kernel filtering), McGinley Dynamic Candles
These transformations help traders better see trend continuations and reversals by smoothing out market noise.
🧮 Smoothing Method for Candle Data
Each OHLC value can be optionally smoothed using:
EMA, SMA, SMMA (RMA), WMA, VWMA, HMA, Mode (Statistical mode) Or no smoothing at all.
This flexibility is useful for customizing to different market conditions.
📊 Volatility Bands
Volatility-based upper and lower bands are calculated using:
Band = price ± (price% + ATR * multiplier)
They help identify overbought/oversold zones and potential reversal points.
📍 Candle Color Logic
Each candle is colored:
Cyan (#00ffff) if it's bullish and stronger than the previous candle
Red (#fd0000) if it's bearish and weaker
Alternating bar index coloring improves visual clarity.
📈 Trend Momentum Labels
The script includes a trend strength estimation using a smoothed RSI:
If the candle is bullish, it shows a BUY label with the overbought offset.
If bearish, it shows a SELL label with the oversold offset.
These labels are dynamic and placed next to the bar.
📍 Signal Markers
It also plots triangles when the price crosses the volatility bands:
Triangle up for potential long
Triangle down for potential short
✅ Use Case Summary
This script is mainly used for:
Visual trend confirmation with enhanced candles
Volatility-based entry signals
RSI-based trend momentum suggestions
Integrating different smoothing & transformation methods to fine-tune your strategy
It’s a flexible tool for both manual traders and automated system developers who want clear, adaptive signals across different market conditions.

Accumulation-Distribution CandlesThis structural visualization tool maps each candle through the lens of Effort vs. Result, blending Volume, Range, and closing bias into a normalized pressure score. Candle bodies are dynamically color-coded using a five-tier system—from heavy accumulation to heavy distribution—revealing where energy is building, dispersing, or neutral. This helps to visually isolate Markup, Markdown, Re-accumulation, and Distribution at a glance.
The indicator calculates a strength score by multiplying price result (close minus open) by effort (volume or price range), smoothing this raw value using a Fibonacci-based EMA. (34 for standard, 55 for crypto; the higher crypto value acknowledges that 24/7 trading offers more hours per week or month than trad markets.) The result is standardized against its rolling deviation and clamped to a range. This score determines the visual tier:
• 💙 Dark Blue = heavy Accumulation (strong upward result on strong effort)
• 🩵 Pale Blue = mild Accumulation
• 🌚 Gray = neutral (low conviction or balance)
• 💛 Pale Yellow = mild Distribution
• 🧡 Deep Yellow = heavy Distribution (strong downward result on strong effort)
The tool is optimized for the 1D chart, where Wyckoff phases are most clearly expressed. However, it adapts well to lower timeframes when used selectively. Traders may hide the body coloring and enable only zone highlighting to preserve other candle overlays such as SUPeR TReND 2.718, which offers directional clarity and trend duration. This combination is especially useful on intraday charts (15m–1H) where microstructure matters but visual clutter must be avoided.
When used alongside other Volume overlays (such as the OBVX Conviction Bias) or Volatility indicators (such as the Asymmetric Turbulence Ribbon (ATR)), this indicator adds confluence to directional setups by contextualizing pressure with Volatility. For example: compression zones marked by ATR may align with persistent pale blue candles—indicating quiet Accumulation before expansion.
Optional Overlays:
Normally ON -
• 📌 Pin Bars , filtered by volume, to isolate wick-dominant reversals from key zones
• 💪🏻 Strong-Body Candles — fuchsia candles w/ high body-to-range ratio reflect conviction
• 🧯 Wick Absorption Candles — red candles w/ long wicks and low closing strength indicate failed pushes or absorbed breakouts
• 🟦/🟧 Zone Highlighting for candles above a defined Accumulation/Distribution threshold
Normally OFF -
• 🔺 Fractals (5-bar) to map swing pivots by underlying pressure tier (normally OFF)
• 🟥/🟩 Engulfing patterns, filtered by directional conviction (normally OFF)
The Pin Bar strategy benefits most from the zone logic—when a bullish pin bar appears in an Accumulation zone (esp. pale or dark blue), and Volume exceeds its rolling average, it may mark a spring or failed breakdown. Conversely, bearish pins in Distribution zones can mark rejection or resistance.
This is not a signal engine—it’s a narrative filter designed to slot cleanly into a multi-layered workflow of visual structure and informed execution. Use it to identify bias and phase. Then deploy trade triggers from tools like SUPeR TReND 2.718, or the liquidity flows shown the The Silver Lining or the AltSeasonality - MTF indicators, for example. The candle colors tell you who’s in control—the other tools tell you when to act.

BCVC - Volume & Big Candle ColorThe BCVC (Volume & Big Candle Color) indicator helps traders identify significant price movements accompanied by unusual volume activity. By dynamically coloring bars based on volume spikes and candle size, it highlights potential momentum shifts, breakouts, or reversals. This tool is ideal for traders who want to:
Spot institutional buying/selling activity.
Confirm trend strength using volume and price volatility.
Filter noise by focusing on high-impact bars.
Key Features
Volume Spike Detection:
Compares current volume to a moving average (EMA) of volume.
Highlights bars where volume exceeds the average by a user-defined multiplier.
Big Candle Detection:
Identifies bars with a range (high-low) larger than the historical average range (EMA of candle ranges).
Thresholds for "big candles" are customizable.
Color-Coded Logic:
White Bars: High volume + Big candle + Bullish (close > open).
Orange Bars: High volume + Big candle + Bearish (close < open).
Blue Bars: High volume + Regular candle + Bullish.
Maroon Bars: High volume + Regular candle + Bearish.
Input Parameters
Volume Settings:
Volume Period: EMA length for average volume calculation (default: 20).
Volume Multiplier: Threshold multiplier for volume spikes (e.g., 1.25 = 25% above average).
Candle Size Settings:
Lookback Period: EMA length for average candle range (default: 7).
Big Candle Multiplier: Threshold multiplier for large candles (e.g., 1.3 = 30% above average range).
How It Works
Volume Analysis:
The indicator calculates an EMA of volume over the specified period.
If the current bar’s volume exceeds Average Volume × Volume Multiplier, it’s flagged as a high-volume bar.
Candle Range Analysis:
The average candle range (high-low) is calculated using an EMA over the lookback period.
A "big candle" is identified when the current bar’s range exceeds Average Range × Big Candle Multiplier.
Combined Signals:
High-volume bars are colored based on whether they are bullish/bearish and whether their range exceeds the big-candle threshold.
Example: A white bar (high volume + big candle + bullish) suggests strong buying pressure with institutional participation.
Usage Scenarios
Breakout Confirmation: A white/orange bar at a support/resistance level may validate a breakout.
Reversal Signals: A maroon/orange bar after a long trend could indicate exhaustion and potential reversal.
Trend Strength: Clusters of blue/white bars during uptrends (or maroon/orange in downtrends) confirm momentum.
Benefits
Visual Clarity: Instantly spot high-impact bars without manually scanning volume or candle size.
Customizable Sensitivity: Adjust multipliers to filter noise (e.g., increase for fewer signals).
Universal Application: Works on all timeframes and instruments (stocks, forex, crypto).
Notes
Best Paired With: Trendlines, support/resistance levels, or momentum oscillators (e.g., RSI).
Avoid False Signals: Use higher multipliers (e.g., 1.5) on lower timeframes to reduce noise.
