Wick Strategy AnalyzerOverview
This indicator analyzes candle wick patterns and evaluates their outcomes over a user-definable range (default is 1 year). Labels are rendered on the chart to mark events that meet the specified wick condition.
Features
Customizable Bar Range - users can specify the range of bars to include in the analysis. Default is 365 bars back from the most recent bar (bar 0)
Visual Indicators - labels are rendered to mark conditions & outcomes.
Wick Condition Met - an Orange label below the wick candle displaying the wick’s percentage size.
Outcome Labels - rendered above the candle after wick condition met candles
P (Green): Pass
F (Red): Fail
N (Navy): Neutral
I (Blue): Indicates the current candle has not yet closed, so the outcome is undetermined.
Input Parameters
Wick Threshold - minimum wick size required to qualify as a wick condition.
Success Margin - Defines the margin for classifying outcomes as Pass, Fail, or Neutral. E.g., a success margin of 0.01 requires the next candle's close to exceed the wick candle's close by 1% in order to be a Pass.
Bar Offset Start - starting offset from the last bar for analysis. A value of -1 will include all bars.
Bar Offset End - ending offset from the last bar for analysis. Bars outside this range are excluded.
Example Scenario
Goal: Analyze how candles with a wick size of at least 3.5% perform within a success margin of 1% over the past 540 days.
Setup:
Set Wick Threshold to 0.035
Set Success Margin to 0.01
Set Bar Range Start to 0
Set Bar Range End to 540.
Expected Output
Candles with a wick of at least 3.5% are labeled.
Outcome labels (P, F, or N) indicate performance.
