Wick Anomaly Detector

Wick Anomaly Detector

This script helps identify candles with unusually large wicks compared to their body size — a common sign of price anomalies, false prints, or low-liquidity moves.

🔍 What it does:

Flags candles with upper or lower wicks that exceed a user-defined ratio (default: 3x the body size)

Helps traders spot suspicious spikes or “bad ticks,” especially in pre-market or illiquid stocks

📈 Use it to:

Avoid fake breakouts

Confirm real price action

Clean up your technical analysis
