HTF Control Shift + Prev Candle Break Sequence 🧭 HTF Control Shift + Previous Candle Break Sequence
Overview
The HTF Control Shift + Previous Candle Break Sequence indicator identifies high-probability shift candles that suggest a potential change in market control — from sellers to buyers or vice versa — and then tracks whether price confirms that shift by breaking the previous candle’s high or low.
This tool is designed to help traders detect institutional control shifts and confirm them with price structure breaks, providing a framework for spotting early trend reversals or strong continuation moves.
How It Works
Control Shift Candle Detection
A Bullish Control Shift occurs when a candle shows:
A long lower wick (≥ Wick % Threshold of total range).
A close near the high (within Body % Threshold of the top).
A Bearish Control Shift occurs when a candle shows:
A long upper wick (≥ Wick % Threshold of total range).
A close near the low (within Body % Threshold of the bottom).
These candles are highlighted in green (bullish) or red (bearish), and optionally labeled on the chart.
Previous Candle High/Low Tracking
The script automatically plots horizontal lines at the previous candle’s high (green) and low (red).
These act as key reference levels for breakout confirmation.
Breakout Confirmation Sequence
A Bullish Sequence triggers when a Bullish Control Shift candle is followed by a break above the previous candle’s high.
A Bearish Sequence triggers when a Bearish Control Shift candle is followed by a break below the previous candle’s low.
When either sequence completes, the indicator can send a TradingView alert confirming the directional breakout.
How to Use
Timeframe:
Optimized for higher timeframes (1H, 4H, Daily) to filter out intraday noise and identify structural market shifts.
Trend Reversal Identification:
Watch for Control Shift candles at major highs/lows, order blocks, or liquidity zones — a confirmed breakout often signals a trend reversal or new directional push.
Continuation Confirmation:
In trending markets, a Control Shift candle that breaks in the direction of trend can validate a strong continuation setup.
Alert Usage:
Set alerts for:
Bullish Control Shift Confirmed Breakout
Bearish Control Shift Confirmed Breakdown
Optional: raw Control Shift or Break alerts.
Customization
Wick % Threshold: Adjusts the required wick size to define a control shift.
Body % Threshold: Controls how close the close must be to the high/low for confirmation.
Label Toggle: Optionally display labels only on control shift candles.
Best Practices
Combine with higher-timeframe trend filters.
Avoid using it alone in tight consolidation zones.
Strongest signals occur when:
Control Shift appears at key structure levels.
The breakout bar closes firmly beyond the previous high/low.
Volume supports the breakout.
Summary
✅ Detects when market control flips (buyers ↔ sellers).
✅ Confirms shift with breakout above/below previous candle.
✅ Ideal for 1H–4H swing or position trading.
✅ Provides visual, structural, and alert-based confirmation.
Candlestickpattern
Z-Candle Range 4U [ZuperView]Z-Candle Range 4U helps you quickly spot the strongest and weakest candles among the last “n” bars, based on both the full range (High-Low) and body length (Open-Close).
A simple yet highly effective tool to instantly visualize market volatility and imbalance.
In trading, not all candles carry the same weight. Some reveal the footprints of major money flows, while others are just minor market noise.
Z-Candle Range 4U highlights these extreme candles directly on your chart, providing a clear view of where volatility is expanding or contracting.
You simply select the number of bars to analyze (n), and the indicator automatically identifies:
The candle with the largest High-Low range (Max Range) → signals strong volatility
The candle with the smallest High-Low range (Min Range) → signals price compression
The candle with the longest Open-Close body (Max Body) → indicates the strongest directional push
The candle with the shortest Open-Close body (Min Body) → indicates hesitation or market balance
📌 Ideal for:
Detecting volatility shifts before breakouts or reversals
Spotting strong momentum signals, including breakout or impulse bars
Identifying accumulation phases and low-volatility periods, useful for breakout strategies
Recognizing market pauses and decision-making zones, often preceding major moves
Analyzing momentum structure and energy of each price swing
Integrating into visual strategies for easy interpretation of market behavior
📌 Key use cases:
Detect volatility shifts before breakouts or reversals:
When candle ranges (High-Low) expand unusually after a compression phase, it often signals returning volatility. Z-Candle Range 4U makes this expansion clear, helping you prepare for upcoming breakouts or reversals.
Spot strong momentum candles (breakouts or impulse bars):
When a candle has the longest body (Max Body) in the cycle, it often reflects a powerful push from either buyers or sellers. These are impulse bars – where momentum bursts – signaling the start of a strong price swing or a high-probability breakout.
Detect accumulation phases and low-volatility periods:
When the indicator identifies candles with the smallest ranges, it indicates that volatility is contracting, and the market is storing energy. This “calm before the storm” phase is highly valuable for preparing and timing breakout setups.
Recognize market pauses and indecision zones:
Small-bodied candles with relatively wide ranges reflect hesitation and struggle between buyers and sellers. The indicator highlights these zones, which often precede significant moves.
Analyze momentum structure and energy of each swing:
Comparing candle sizes allows you to measure the strength of each price wave. Shrinking candles indicate weakening momentum, while gradually expanding candles suggest trend consolidation.
Integrate into visual strategies for easy market reading:
Z-Candle Range 4U highlights extreme candles directly on your chart, allowing traders to interpret price behavior visually. No complex calculations are needed to sense volatility, momentum, and structural changes accurately.
Additionally, the indicator includes alerts to notify you when extreme candles appear, even when you’re away from the chart.
HTF CandlesThis Indicator allows you to display up to 10 higher timeframe candles.
One of them will always be the currently last candle (realtime candle if session is active). So if you choose to display only one candle it will be the current HTF candle. If you choose to display more than 1 candle it will be the current HTF candle plus the number of total candles minus one as historic candles (maximum 9 historic candles).
The goal is to simplify HTF analysis without the need to switch timeframes and detect HTF candle patterns while seeing the lower timeframe develop in realtime.
This is especially useful if you trade concepts like liquidity grabs/sweeps or any candle stick patterns and you want to utilize lower timeframe entries to maximize your risk to reward.
Setting Explanation
General Settings
# of Bars: Choose how many HTF candles you want to be displayed (maximum is 10).
Timeframe: Choose the timeframe that you want to be displayed.
Offset: Put in the number of bars you want to shift the HTF candles to the right (minimum is 0 which will result in a shift 3 bars to the right, to separate it from the current LTF candle). This way you can as well see 2 higher timeframes by applying the indicator twice to your chart and just shifting one timeframe so far to the right that it does not overlap the first HTF.
HTF Lines
Mark Start Of HTF Candles: If checked this will display lines according to the start of your HTF candles.
HTF Label
Show HTF Label: If checked you will see a label above the plotted HTF candles that tells you which timeframe it is.
Automatic Label Positioning: If checked your HTF Label will be 1 ATR above the highest HTF bar. This avoids putting in an absolute number which can be useful if you trade assets with vastly different prices (for example a 10 point distance will not sufficiently separate the label from the candles if trading BTC whereas a 100/500 point difference would put the label out of your screen if trading MNQ). By using the ATR the label will automatically be efficiently separated from the candles but not to far away.
Appearance
Body: Choose fill color for your bullish (left) and bearish (right) HTF candles.
Wick: Choose Wick/Border color for your HTF candles.
HTF Line: Choose color and line style for your HTF Lines (marking the start of a new HTF candle)
Label Position: Adjust the vertical distance of the label in regard to the highest high of the displayed HTF candles (This will be full points, not ticks, and is only used whenever "Automatic Label Positioning" is deselected).
Label Size: Adjust the font size of your HTF label.

Cycle-Synced Channel Breakout📌 Cycle-Synced Channel Breakout – Detect Breakouts Confirmed by Candles and Momentum Cycles
📖 Overview
The Cycle-Synced Channel Breakout indicator is a precision breakout detection tool that combines the power of:
• Adaptive Keltner Channels
• Dominant Cycle Period Analysis (Ehlers-inspired)
• Candlestick Pattern Recognition (Engulfing)
This multi-layered approach helps identify true breakout opportunities by filtering out noise and false signals, making it ideal for swing traders and intraday traders seeking high-probability directional moves.
⚙️ How It Works
1. Keltner Channel Envelope
A dynamic volatility channel based on the EMA and ATR defines the upper and lower bounds of price movement.
2. Engulfing Candle Detection
The script detects strong bullish and bearish engulfing patterns, which often signal trend reversals or momentum continuations.
3. Dominant Cycle Momentum (Ehlers-inspired)
Using a smoothed power oscillator derived from a detrended price series, the indicator assesses whether momentum is accelerating during the breakout — filtering out weak moves.
4. Signal Confirmation Logic
A signal is only shown when:
• An engulfing pattern is detected, and
• Price breaks out of the Keltner Channel, and
• Momentum (cycle power) is rising
5. Visual Feedback
• Breakout signals are plotted with “BUY” or “SELL” labels
• Faded green/red background highlights confirmed breakouts
• Optional display of engulfing candles with triangle markers
⸻
🛠️ Key Features
• ✅ Adaptive Keltner Channels
• ✅ Bullish/Bearish Engulfing Candle Recognition
• ✅ Ehlers-style Cycle Momentum Confirmation
• ✅ Background highlights for confirmed breakouts
• ✅ Optional candle pattern visualization
• ✅ Lightweight and Pine v6 compatible
⸻
🧪 Inputs
• Keltner Length – EMA period for channel basis
• Multiplier – Multiplied with ATR to determine band width
• Cycle Lookback – Used to calculate smoothed cycle power
• Show Engulfing Candles? – Toggles candlestick signals
• Show Breakout Signals? – Toggles breakout labels and backgrounds
⸻
🧠 How to Use
• Look for “BUY” or “SELL” labels when:
• An engulfing candle breaks through the Keltner Channel
• Cycle momentum confirms strength behind the move
• The background color will faintly highlight the breakout direction.
• Use in combination with other trend or volume indicators for added confluence.
🔒 Notes
• This indicator is not repainting.
• It is designed for educational and research purposes only.
• Works across all timeframes and asset classes (stocks, crypto, forex, etc.)
CFR - Candle Formation RatioDescription

Require that wicks are at least X times larger than the body.
Define the position of the body within the candle (e.g., body must be between 40% and 60% of the candle height).
Visual output: a single arrow marker when conditions are met.
Fully customizable marker color and size.
⚠️ Note: The settings of this version are currently in Turkish. An English version of the settings will be released in the future.
CNagda Anchor2EntryCNagda Anchor2Entry Pine Script v6 overlay indicator pulls higher-timeframe (HTF) signal events to define anchor high/low levels and then projects visual entry labels on the lower-timeframe (LTF). It also draws auto-oriented Fibonacci retracement/extension levels for context, but it does not execute orders, stops, or targets—only visual guidance.
Inputs
Key inputs include Lookback Length for HTF scanning and a Signal Timeframe used with request.security to import HTF events onto the active chart.
Entry behavior can be set to “Confirm only” or “Wait candle,” trade side can be restricted to Buy/Sell/Both, and individual strategies (Buy WAIT/S1; Sell REV/S1/S2/S3) can be toggled.
HTF logic
The script defines WAIT/BUY setup and confirmation, SELL reversal on breaking the WAIT BUY low, and several volume/candle-based patterns (Sell S1/S2/S3, Buy S1).
It captures the associated highs/lows at those events with ta.valuewhen and imports them via request.security to form anchors (anc_hi/anc_lo) and “new trigger” booleans that gate label creation on the LTF.
Flip entries
When enabled, “Flip entries” generate contrarian labels based on breaking or confirming HTF anchors: crossing above anc_hi can trigger a flip-to-sell label, and crossing below anc_lo can trigger a flip-to-buy label.
The flip mode supports Immediate (on cross) or Confirm (on sustained break) to control how strict the trigger is.
Fibonacci drawing
User-specified Fib levels are parsed from a string, safely converted to floats, and drawn as dotted horizontal lines only when they fall inside an approximate visible viewport. Orientation (up or down) is decided automatically from pending signal direction and a simple context score (candle bias, trend, and price vs. mid), with efficient redraw/clear guards to avoid clutter.
Dynamic anchors
If HTF anchors are missing or too far from current price (checked with an ATR-based threshold), the script falls back to local swing highs/lows to keep the reference range relevant. This dynamic switch helps Fib levels and labels remain close to current market structure without manual intervention.
Signal labels
Labels are created only on confirmed bars to avoid repainting noise, with one “latest” label kept by deleting the previous one. The script places BUY/SELL labels for WAIT/CONFIRM, direct HTF patterns (Buy S1, Sell S1/S2/S3), and contrarian flip events, offset slightly from highs/lows with clear coloring and configurable sizes.
Visual context
Bars are softly colored (lime tint for bullish, orange tint for bearish) for quick context, and everything renders as an overlay on the price chart. Fib labels include a Δ readout (distance from current close), and line extension length, label sizes, and viewport padding are adjustable.
How to use
Set the Signal Timeframe and Lookback Length to establish which HTF structures and ranges will drive the anchors and entry conditions. Choose entry flow (Wait vs Confirm), enable Flip if contrarian triggers are desired, select the trade side, toggle strategies, and customize Fibonacci levels plus dynamic-anchor fallback for practical on-chart guidance.
Notes
This is a visual decision-support tool; it does not place trades, stops, or targets and should be validated on charts before live use. It is written for Pine Script v6 and relies heavily on request.security for HTF-to-LTF transfer of signals and anchors.
Swing Failure Pattern (SFP) with AlertsSwing Failure Pattern (SFP) — Indicator Overview
Detects classic Swing Failure Patterns and their confirmations, with optional volume validation and EMA-based trend/reversal filters. Includes convenient alert categories.
1) What are SFPs?
Price briefly breaks a prior swing high/low (liquidity grab), fails to continue, and snaps back inside the range — often a potential reversal from trapped breakout participants.
2) What the indicator plots
SFP candle: wick extending beyond the previous swing (bearish above a swing high, bullish below a swing low).
Opposite/confirmation level: dotted level derived from the opposite side of the swing structure.
Confirmation: a later close beyond the opposite level; optional ▲/▼ triangles can appear with the “SFP” labels.
Two moving averages: fast/slow MAs for context (plot type selectable); style (color/width) set in the Style tab.
3) Volume validation (optional)
Uses a lower timeframe to compare the share of volume outside the swing level (wick area) against a threshold.
None: Use when volume data is questionable (CFDs/FX) or when you want maximum SFP visibility and rely on price confirmation only.
Volume outside swing < Threshold: Default for ranges/quiet phases. Idea: thin volume outside the level suggests a liquidity sweep rather than a true breakout. Start with 20–30%. Fewer but cleaner setups; works well near HTF zones (Daily/4H).
Volume outside swing > Threshold: For news/volatility/capitulation spikes. Idea: heavy pressure beyond the level was absorbed (long wick) — strong reversals possible but more false signals. Start with 50–60%. Always wait for price confirmation.
You can auto-select a lower timeframe or set one manually for the volume check.
4) EMA filter: Trend vs. Reversal
Filtering uses EMAs of the chosen fast/slow lengths (independent of the plotted MA type).
NO MA-Filter: no EMA condition; all SFPs allowed.
Reversal Signal: bullish SFP only if fast EMA < slow EMA ; bearish SFP only if fast EMA > slow EMA .
Trend Follow: bullish SFP only if fast EMA > slow EMA ; bearish SFP only if fast EMA < slow EMA .
Tip: MA colors/widths are controlled in the Style tab; the EMA filter logic isn’t affected by the plotted MA type.
5) Alerts
Multiple alert categories let you react to events like any bullish/bearish signal, SFP detected, and confirmation occurred — without listing each individual condition. Create an alert on the indicator and pick what fits your workflow.
Always trade without risk management.
Reminder: Backtest, align with HTF context and sessions, and use solid risk management.
Precision Candle Marker – OL/OH/OC ScreenerThis indicator highlights high-probability precision candles on any perpetual contract, designed especially for scalpers and short-term traders.
It marks three unique candle setups on the 1-minute chart (works on other timeframes too):
🟢 Open = Low (OL) → Strong bullish momentum, buyers took control instantly.
🔴 Open = High (OH) → Strong bearish momentum, sellers took control instantly.
🔵 Open = Close (OC) → Doji / indecision candle, potential reversal or continuation signal.
Use cases:
Identify breakout entry points in uptrend/downtrend.
Filter noise and focus on precision candles.
Combine with trend indicators (EMA, VWAP, RSI) for confirmation.
This tool is best suited for scalping perpetual contracts (e.g., BTCUSDT, ETHUSDT) but works on any symbol and timeframe.
Intraday Buy/Sell/Average Zones by Chaitu50cIntraday Buy/Sell/Average Zones by chaitu50c
Timeframe:
Tested on the 5-minute chart.
Recommended timeframe: 5-minute
What it does
This indicator marks intraday Buy (green) and Sell (red) zones made by strong close-confirmed breakouts. These zones act as support/resistance. If price later closes through a zone, the zone changes color from that bar forward (support ↔ resistance). It can flip more than once.
How zones form
Single breakout: an opposite-type candle closes beyond the previous candle’s high/low.
Double breakout: a base candle, then two opposite-type candles, and the second one closes beyond the base high/low.
Zone size
Buy zone: from the combo lowest low up to the nearest open/close of the combo.
Sell zone: from the combo highest high down to the nearest open/close of the combo.
Color shift (optional)
If price closes through a zone, it flips color at that bar and behaves as the other side (support ↔ resistance). Flips can happen again later.
Overlap control
When a new zone overlaps an existing same-color zone in the same session, choose:
Merge (combine), or
Suppress (ignore the new one).
Flipped zones use their current color for this.
Right edge & session
All zones extend to the right (your offset). Detection is limited to your chosen session, and you can show only the last N sessions.
---
How to trade (simple)
A) Initial breakout trade
When a new zone forms, that breakout itself can be a trade idea in the breakout direction, The stoploss will be the zone.
B) Zone breakout trade (flip)
If price later closes out of a zone and it changes color, that breakout is another trade opportunity in the new direction.
C) Retrace & average trade
When price retests a zone, wait for a confirmation candle in the zone’s favor
— bullish close for a green zone, bearish close for a red zone — then average entries inside/near the zone.
Place stops just beyond the opposite edge of the zone.
If the zone flips color, stop averaging; bias changed.
---
Key settings
Breakout type: Single and/or Double
Confirm on Close: strict mode (no intrabar preview) or allow intrabar preview that auto-removes if fail
Color Shift on Breaks: on/off
Same-Type Overlap: Merge/Suppress

Rally Base Drop Signals [LuxAlgo]The Rally Base Drop indicator is built around the Supply and Demand (SND) concept known as "Rally, Base & Drop" Candles. These candle types are commonly used in this trading approach to identify price structure.
This indicator highlights bars by labeling them as "Rally," "Drop," or "Base" candles. It also identifies specific sequence patterns formed by these candles.
🔶 USAGE
The Rally, Base, Drop candlestick approach is a straightforward method for identifying price action structure.
Candles are categorized into three types, which are then analyzed to understand market structure and Supply/Demand levels.
Rally: Two or more consecutive bullish candles.
Drop: Two or more consecutive bearish candles.
Base: A single bullish or bearish candle that breaks the previous trend.
🔹 Rally & Drop Candles
These candles show clear directional momentum and signal whether demand or supply is dominating. They are helpful when identifying trends, as they highlight strong price movement.
🔹 Base Candles
In most SND strategies, "Base" can have several interpretations.
Typically, base candles represent short periods of consolidation that test the trend before continuation. They can also be found at turning points (tops or bottoms).
For this indicator, a base candle is simply one that does not follow the direction of nearby candles or is where a Drop and Rally meet. Multiple base candles often reflect indecision in the market, suggesting a temporary balance between buyers and sellers.
🔹 Reversal Sequences
Rally-Base-Drop (RBD)
Drop-Base-Rally (DBR)
In Supply and Demand analysis, these sequences are considered reversals. They mark zones where buyer and seller activity has shifted, which can lead to future price reactions. These areas are known as "Supply or Demand Zones" and are often revisited by price, making them useful for trade setups.
🔹 Continuation Sequences
Rally-Base-Rally (RBR)
Drop-Base-Drop (DBD)
Continuation sequences show a brief pause in the trend, followed by further movement in the same direction. In SND terms, they represent zones where orders accumulate before a continuation move. These are typically used to join ongoing trends, as they indicate sustained interest from buyers or sellers.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Color Modes
The script includes three color modes. "No Color" is self-explanatory, while the other two options relate to how candles are detected.
A Rally or Drop requires at least two candles to be successfully identified. As a result, detection occurs on the second candle. However, the full Rally or Drop includes both candles.
Two coloring methods are available:
Full Color: Once a Rally or Drop is detected (on the second bar), both candles are colored, starting from the first. This reflects the full pattern.
Color on Detection: Only the second candle (where detection occurs) is colored. This avoids changing past bars and may be useful for live analysis.
🔶 SETTINGS
Sequences: Select which sequences to display on the chart.
Bar Color Logic: Choose the preferred bar coloring method.
Engulfing Pro v1Engulfing Pro v1 — Pro Inside (C2-in-wick) signals
Engulfing Pro v1 finds a precise three-bar sequence designed to catch clean continuations or turns after an impulsive move. The signal—called Pro Inside—fires when price closes back inside the wick of a prior engulfing bar, often indicating a controlled pullback into freshly swept liquidity.
What it detects
Engulfing pre-condition (Bars -2 → -1):
A strict bullish or bearish body engulfing occurs one bar before the signal (larger body, full body containment).
Pro Inside signal (Bar 0 / C2):
The current bar (C2) closes inside the wick of the engulfing bar (C1):
Bullish: C2 closes inside C1’s upper wick
Bearish: C2 closes inside C1’s lower wick
Optional C3 confirmation (info only):
The next bar closes beyond C2’s extreme (above for bullish, below for bearish).
Why it matters
The “close-inside-wick” structure frequently marks a measured pullback after momentum just flipped (engulfing), offering a clear, rules-based entry with defined invalidation.
Inputs
Show Pro Inside (Bullish) — toggle bullish signals
Show Pro Inside (Bearish) — toggle bearish signals
Change bar color on signal (C2) — color C2 (lime/red)
Plot markers — C2 triangles and ✔ on C3 confirmations
Boundary padding (ticks) — nudge wick bounds to reduce marginal touches
Visuals & Alerts
Markers:
“C2” triangle up/down on qualifying bars
“✔” circle on C3 confirmations
Alert names:
Pro Inside (Bullish)
Pro Inside (Bearish)
Pro Inside — Bullish C3 confirmation
Pro Inside — Bearish C3 confirmation
How to use (ideas, not advice)
Entry: Aggressive at/after C2 close; conservative on C3 confirmation.
Stops: Common placements beyond the opposite side of C2, or beyond C1’s wick.
Confluence: Pair with market structure, higher-timeframe bias, or Supply & Demand zones for selectivity.
Timeframes/markets: Works on any symbol/TF; adapt padding for volatility.
Notes
Evaluates on bar close (no look-ahead).
Visual/alert tool for study and workflow—not financial advice.
Always forward-test and risk-manage appropriately.
Vector Sniper Pro What it is
Vector Sniper (Simplified) is a single, original algorithm that flags impulsive “vector” moves only when volatility, volume, and structure align. It is not a mashup of other indicators; everything below is computed from raw OHLCV with a small, transparent ruleset.
⸻
Core idea (signal = force × participation × context)
1. Force (Volatility):
• We z-score true range: trZ = (ATR(1) - SMA(ATR(1), N)) / StDev(ATR(1), N).
• A move must exceed a user-set Volatility Z-Score.
2. Participation (Volume):
• We z-score raw volume: volZ = (Vol - SMA(Vol, N)) / StDev(Vol, N).
• Volume must also exceed a Volume Z-Score.
3. Context (Structure, Body, Imbalance, Traps):
• Body% filter: real body / range ≥ Min Body %.
• Delta-volume proxy: (bullVol − bearVol) / volume, where bullVol = volume*(close−low)/range and bearVol = volume*(high−close)/range. We require positive imbalance for bulls, negative for bears.
• Structure break (optional): price must take out the prior N-bar high/low.
• Trap detection (optional): spring/upthrust patterns defined by lower-low/upper-high followed by a close back inside.
If the above align, you get a Bull Vector (green) or Bear Vector (red). “Extreme” vectors require the same conditions at a higher multiple (Ext Mult).
⸻
Noise control (pre-signal gate)
Before a vector is allowed, a pre-signal score (0–7) must pass:
• Checks include spring/upthrust, no-supply/no-demand, imbalance, volume > average, VWAP side alignment, EMA trend alignment, proximity to structure break, and candle direction.
• You choose a minimum score, persistence (must occur ≥N times inside last M bars), cooldown after a pass, and hysteresis vs the opposite side.
This prevents one-off blips and keeps signals directional.
⸻
Optional confluence
• VWAP alignment: require price on the correct side and VWAP slope with it.
• EMA filter: require EMA trend agreement.
• HTF bias (optional): compare HTF close vs HTF EMA on a selected timeframe.
• Implemented with request.security and no look-ahead; bias updates when the higher timeframe bar closes.
⸻
Visuals & alerts
• Candle colors (5 total):
• Green = Bull Vector, Red = Bear Vector.
• Blue = Pre-Bull, Orange = Pre-Bear.
• Gray = Neutral.
• Markers (optional): diamonds = “Extreme” vectors; small triangles = pre-signals.
• Built-in alerts: Bull Vector, Bear Vector, Extreme Bull/Bear, Pre-Bull, Pre-Bear.
• Add from: Alerts → Condition → this script → choose event.

How to use (practical)
1. Start with defaults. Turn on VWAP and EMA filters; add HTF bias if you want fewer but cleaner signals.
2. Hunt for alignment: Pre-signal (blue/orange) → Vector (green/red) in the same direction.
3. Use your own risk model for entries/exits; the script does not place orders or compute stops/targets.
⸻
Inputs (plain English)
• ATR/Volume Periods & Z-Scores: sensitivity to volatility/participation.
• Extreme Multiplier: threshold for “Extreme” vectors.
• Structure Break (bars) & Traps: contextual confirms.
• Pre-signal gate: Min Score, Persistence (N in last M), Cooldown, Opposite-side lockout.
• Confluence: VWAP side, EMA trend, optional HTF bias (timeframe + EMA length).
• Visuals: candle painting and markers.
⸻
Design notes / limitations
• Signals evaluate on bar close. Intrabar they can form and cancel; for consistency, trade on closed bars.
• HTF bias is derived from closed HTF bars; no future data is used.
• This is an indicator, not financial advice. Backtest forward and manage risk.
⸻
Why this isn’t a “mashup”:
All components are purposeful and documented: z-score volatility + z-score volume (force & participation), body% and delta-volume (quality), structure & traps (context), and a scored, persistent pre-filter with VWAP/EMA/HTF alignment (noise control).
Balanced Big Wicks (50/50) HighlighterThis open-source indicator highlights candles with balanced long wicks (50/50 style)—that is, candles where both upper and lower shadows are each at least 30–60% of the full range and within ~8% of each other, while retaining a substantial body. This specific structure often reflects indecision or liquidity sweeps and can precede strong breakout moves.
How It Works (Inputs and Logic)
Min wick % (each side): 30–60% of candle range
Max body %: up to 60% of range (preserves strong body presence)
Equality tolerance: wicks within 8% of each other
ATR filter (multiples of ATR14): ensures only significant-range candles are flagged
When a “50/50” candle forms, it’s visually colored and labeled; audibly alertable.
How to Use It
Long setup: price closes above the wick-high → potential long entry (SL below wick-low, TP = 1:1).
Short setup: price closes below wick-low → potential short entry (SL above wick-high, TP = 1:1).
Especially effective on 5–15 minute scalping charts when aligned with high-volume sessions or HTF trend context.
Why This Indicator Is Unique
Unlike standard wick or doji voters, this script specifically filters for candles with a strong body and symmetrical wicks, paired with a range filter, reducing noise significantly.
Important Notes
No unrealistic claims: backtested setups indicate high occurrence of clean breakouts, though performance depends on market structure.
Script built responsibly: uses real-time calculations only, no future-data lookahead.
Visuals on the published chart reflect default input values exactly.
Perfect Candles By SalamunPerfect Candles Compass Trade Academy By Salamun
The "Perfect Candles By Salamun" indicator is a custom indicator for the TradingView trading platform that uses Pine Script v5. Let me explain its function and usage:
Main Function
1. Candlestick Display Modification
This indicator redraws candlesticks with special logic, especially to handle price gaps that occur when the market reopens after a close.
2. Eliminate Price Gaps
When the market opens after a break (for example after a weekend or holiday), there is usually a gap between the previous closing price and the new opening price.
This indicator "fixes" the gap by adjusting the open price of the new candle to be equal to the close price of the previous candle.
Input Parameters
"Valid only on open days" (default: false)
If enabled, modifications are only applied on market opening days.
If disabled, all candles will be modified
"Hourly threshold for detecting open days" (default: 6 hours)
Determine the time threshold for detecting gaps.
If the time interval between candles is > 6 hours, it is considered as the opening of a new day.
"Show Price" (default: true)
Displays a horizontal price line at the last price level
Ways of working
Gap Detection : Calculating the time difference between candles
Modification Conditions :
If applyToDayOpenOnly= false, OR
If the time gap > the specified threshold
Price Adjustment :
Open price = Close price of the previous candle
Close, High, Low still use original values
Coloring :
Teal green for bullish candles (close ≥ open)
Red for bearish candle (close < open)
Utility
For Traders:
Provides a smoother chart visualization without gaps
Helps with more continuous technical analysis
Useful for timeframes that often experience gaps (such as daily, weekly)
For Analysis:
Reduces noise from opening gap
Helps identify clearer trends
Suitable for strategies that focus on continuous price movements
Follow-up Buy / Sell Volume Pressure at Supply / Demand Zones█ Overview:
BE-Volume Footprint & Pressure Candles, is an indicator which is preliminarily designed to analyze the supply and demand patterns based on Rally Base Rally (RBR), Drop Base Drop (DBD), Drop Base Rally (DBR) & Rally Base Drop (RBD) concepts in conjunction to volume pressure. Understanding these concepts are crucial. Let's break down why the "Base" is you Best friend in this context.
Commonness in RBR, DBD, DBR, RBD patterns ?
There is an impulse price movement at first, be it rally (price moving up) or the Drop (price moving down), followed by a period of consolidation which is referred as "BASE" and later with another impulse move of price (Rally or Drop).
Why is the Base Important
1. Market Balance: Base represents a balance between buyers and sellers. This is where decisions are made.
2. Confirmation: It confirms the strength of previous impulse move which has happened.
Base & the Liquidity Play:
Supply & Demand Zone predict the presence of all large orders within the limits of the Base Zone. Price is expected to return to the zone to fill the unfilled orders placed by large players.
For the price to move in the intended direction Liquidity plays the major role. hence indicator aims to help traders in identifying those zones where liquidity exists and the volume pressure helps in confirming that liquidity is making its play.
Bottom pane in the below snapshots is a visual representation of Buyers volume pressure (Green Line & the Green filled area) making the price move upwards vs Sellers volume pressure (Red Line & the Red filled area) making the price move downwards.
Top pane in the below snapshots is a visual representation on the pattern identification (Blue marked zone & the Blue line referred as Liquidity level)
Bullish Pressure On Buy Liquidity:
Bearish Pressure On Sell Liquidity:
█ How It Works:
1. Indicator computes technical & mathematical operations such as ATR, delta of Highs & Lows of the candle and Candle ranges to identify the patterns and marks the liquidity lines accordingly.
2. Indicator then waits for price to return to the liquidity levels and checks if Directional volume pressure to flow-in while the prices hover near the Liquidity zones.
3. Once the Volume pressure is evident, loop in to the ride.
█ When It wont Work:
When there no sufficient Liquidity or sustained Opposite volume pressure, trades are expected to fail.
█ Limitations:
Works only on the scripts which has volume info. Relays on LTF candles to determine intra-bar volumes. Hence, Use on TF greater than 1 min and lesser than 15 min.
█ Indicator Features:
1. StrictEntries: employs' tighter rules (rather most significant setups) on the directional volume pressure applied for the price to move. If unchecked, liberal rules applied on the directional volume pressure leading to more setups being identified.
2. Setup Confirmation period: Indicates Waiting period to analyze the directional volume pressure. Early (lesser wait period) is Risky and Late (longer wait period) is too late for the
ride. Find the quant based on the accuracy of the setup provided in the bottom right table.
3. Algo Enabled with Place Holders:
Indicator is equipped with algo alerts, supported with necessary placeholders to trade any instrument like stock, options etc.

Balanced Big Wicks (50/50) HighlighterDetects candles with unusually long, balanced upper and lower wicks—a potential sign of market indecision followed by strong breakout action.
What It Does
Identifies candles where both upper and lower wicks each account for at least a configurable percentage (e.g., 30–40%) of the total range, and where the body remains small—creating the classic “balanced wick” (50/50) appearance.
Marks these candles visually with color (bullish/bearish), optional background shading, and a tiny “50/50” label above the candle.
Why It’s Useful
Balanced wicks often precede decisive moves once price breaks either wick. This script highlights such opportunities systematically.
Helpful for traders looking for clean entry signals: long on close above the upper wick, short on close below the lower wick—with straightforward risk management (SL at opposite wick, TP 1:1).
Key Inputs (default values shown in parentheses)
Min wick % (each side): 30%
Max body %: 20%
Equality tolerance: 10%
Min range filter (ATR multiples): 0 (disable)
ATR length: 14
Color candles: On
Background highlight: Off by default
Plot label on candle: On
Adjust these to fit your preferred timeframe or instrument (e.g., raise wick thresholds or ATR filter for noisy 15‑minute altcoin charts; relax slightly for smoother 1‑hour BTC analysis).
Alerts
Three alert options included:
“50/50 Wick (Any)” — triggers on any balanced-wick candle.
“50/50 Wick (Bullish)” — only when the candle closes bullish (upper close).
“50/50 Wick (Bearish)” — only when the candle closes bearish (lower close).
How to Use It
Add the indicator to your chart.
Adjust input settings to suit the timeframe or trading style.
Watch for highlighted candles.
Optional alert: create alerts using one of the provided alert conditions (e.g., “50/50 Wick (Any)”) with “Once per bar close” to get notified when signal bars appear.
Use your own trade logic (e.g., breakout entries as described above).
Disclaimer & Originality
Original Concept: I built this script from scratch to highlight a specific candle structure often used by traders in breakout setups—long balanced wicks with small bodies.
No external code references; it’s entirely open-source and self-explanatory.
Note: This indicator highlights potential setups—not financial advice. Always backtest any strategy, and use sound risk management. Past patterns do not guarantee future success.
Optimized Settings for 5m–15m Scalping
Min wick % (each side): 0.30
→ Forces both wicks to be almost half the candle each. Very strict.
Max body % of range: 0.40
→ Candle body must be ≤10% of full range = almost a doji.
Equality tolerance: 0.1
→ Wicks must be within 5% of each other relative to full candle size.
Min range filter (ATR multiples): 0
→ Candle must be at least 1.2× bigger than recent average (ATR14). Filters out weak fake dojis.
ATR Length: 14 (standard, stable)
Color candles / Plot labels: On (so you clearly see them)
Background highlight: Optional
Inside Candle DivergenceStudy Material: Inside Candle Divergence Indicator (aiTrendview)
1. Introduction
The Inside Candle Divergence Indicator is a custom tool built on TradingView using Pine Script. It is designed to help traders identify potential reversal points or trend continuations using a mix of candlestick analysis, RSI (Relative Strength Index), VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price), Pivot Points, and Volume analytics. The tool also provides a dashboard table on the chart, summarizing all key values in a single glance for traders and analysts.
This indicator is not just a signal generator but also an educational framework—explaining how different concepts in technical analysis combine to build a systematic approach for market entries and exits.
________________________________________
2. Core Concepts Behind the Tool
A. Inside Candle Pattern
An Inside Candle forms when the current candle’s high is lower than or equal to the previous candle’s high, and the low is higher than or equal to the previous candle’s low.
• This means the entire price action of the current candle is "inside" the range of the previous candle.
• A bullish inside candle occurs when the close is higher than the open.
• A bearish inside candle occurs when the close is lower than the open.
This pattern shows market indecision but also sets up potential breakouts or trend reversals.
________________________________________
B. RSI (Relative Strength Index)
The indicator calculates RSI using the formula from the ta.rsi() function in TradingView. RSI helps measure momentum in the market.
• A low RSI (below 25) signals an oversold zone → possible buy.
• A high RSI (above 75) signals an overbought zone → possible sell.
By combining RSI with the Inside Candle, the indicator ensures that signals are triggered only when momentum and price patterns confirm each other.
________________________________________
C. Buy & Sell Signals
• Buy Signal: Triggered when RSI < Buy Level (default 25) and a bullish inside candle forms.
• Sell Signal: Triggered when RSI > Sell Level (default 75) and a bearish inside candle forms.
When triggered, the chart displays a BUY (green label below candle) or SELL (red label above candle) marker. The indicator also saves the entry price and signal bar for future reference inside the dashboard.
________________________________________
D. VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price)
VWAP is calculated using the typical price (H+L+C)/3 and weighting it by volume.
• VWAP shows the average trading price weighted by volume, widely used by institutions.
• The tool calculates the distance of price from VWAP in % terms.
• If price is far above VWAP, the market may be overheated (overbought). If far below, it may be undervalued (oversold).
________________________________________
E. Volume Analysis
The tool splits volume into Buy Volume and Sell Volume:
• Buy Volume: If close > open.
• Sell Volume: If close ≤ open.
• Cumulative totals are maintained, and percentages are calculated to show what proportion of total market volume is bullish vs bearish.
• A progress bar style visual (using blocks █) shows the dominance of buyers or sellers.
This allows traders to quickly measure whether buyers or sellers are controlling the market trend.
________________________________________
F. Daily Pivot Points
Pivot Points are calculated using the previous day’s high, low, and close:
• Pivot = (High + Low + Close) / 3
• R1, S1, R2, S2, R3, S3 levels are derived from this pivot.
• These levels act as support and resistance zones.
The script plots Pivot, R1, and S1 lines on the chart for easy reference.
________________________________________
G. Trend Direction
The indicator checks where the price is compared to R1 and S1:
• If price > R1 → Bullish Trend
• If price < S1 → Bearish Trend
• Otherwise → Neutral Trend
The trend direction is displayed in the dashboard with arrows (↑, ↓, →).
________________________________________
H. Price Change Calculation
The tool calculates:
• Price Change = Current Close – Previous Close
• Percentage Change = (Change / Previous Close) × 100
• Displays ▲ (green upward) or ▼ (red downward) with the exact percentage.
This gives traders a quick snapshot of intraday price movement.
________________________________________
I. Dashboard Table
One of the most powerful features is the real-time dashboard table shown on the chart. It contains:
1. Symbol & Price Info (Current ticker, price, change %)
2. RSI Reading (with color coding: green for oversold, red for overbought)
3. VWAP and Distance from VWAP
4. Volume Analysis with Progress Bar (Buy vs Sell %)
5. Pivot Levels (Pivot, R1, S1)
6. Trend Direction (Bullish, Bearish, Neutral)
7. Signal Status (Last Buy/Sell signal with entry price)
This reduces the need for multiple indicators and gives traders a command-center view directly on the chart.
________________________________________
J. Alerts
The tool generates alerts whenever a Buy or Sell condition is met. Traders can set up TradingView alerts to be notified instantly when:
• Buy Signal Alert → RSI oversold + Bullish inside candle
• Sell Signal Alert → RSI overbought + Bearish inside candle
This ensures no opportunity is missed even if you’re not actively monitoring the chart.
________________________________________
K. Background Highlights
The chart background also changes faintly (light green or light red) when a Buy or Sell condition is triggered. This gives traders visual confirmation along with signals and alerts.
________________________________________
3. Practical Use of This Tool
• Scalpers & Intraday Traders can use it for quick momentum-based entries.
• Swing Traders can use the RSI + Inside Candle + Pivot Points to find medium-term reversals.
• Analysts can use the dashboard for real-time summaries in reports.
• Volume Analysis helps understand institutional activity.
Remember: This is not a standalone holy grail. It must be used with proper risk management and confirmation from higher timeframes.

High Timeframe Candle Overlay (Configurable)HTF Candle Overlay — Read Higher Timeframe on Lower Timeframe Charts
What it does
This indicator draws each selected Higher-Timeframe (HTF) candle directly on your lower-timeframe (LTF) chart. It shows a translucent range box (HTF high–low) and an inner body box (HTF open–close), so you can track how the bigger candle is forming while you analyze lower-timeframe structure, liquidity sweeps, and intrabar reactions.
Why it’s helpful
• See where the current HTF candle opened, where price sits inside its body, and how far wicks extend—without leaving your LTF chart.
• Combine HTF context (e.g., 1H/4H) with LTF execution (e.g., 1m–15m) to spot confluence, S/R flips, and failed breaks faster.
• The overlay is locked to the price scale and anchored by bar index, so it pans/zooms exactly with your chart (no drifting while dragging).
⸻
How it works (under the hood)
• Fetches HTF OHLC via request.security.
• When a new HTF bar starts, the previous HTF boxes are frozen at the true close.
• The current HTF bar updates intrabar (so you see live formation) and is clamped to the correct span.
• Horizontal anchoring uses bar index, and a hidden price plot binds the script to the main price scale for stable zoom/pan behavior.
⸻
Inputs
• High Timeframe (HTF): Default 1H (set any TF you like).
• Show High–Low Box: On/off.
• Show Body Box (Open–Close): On/off.
• Opacity for range/body boxes.
• Bull/Bear Colors and Outline + Width.
• Max HTF Candles to Keep: Auto-deletes older boxes to maintain performance.
⸻
Usage tips
• Popular combos: view 1H or 4H candles while trading 1–15m charts.
• Turn off the range box if you only want a clean HTF body overlay.
• Pair with your session/structure tools; this indicator is visual context only (no signals or alerts).
⸻
Notes & limitations
• Non-repainting for closed HTF bars: once an HTF candle closes, its boxes are fixed. The current/in-progress HTF bar updates until it closes (expected live behavior).
• Data alignment depends on your symbol’s feed and session settings. Heikin Ashi/renko/etc. may not match classic OHLC.
• Heavy history + many boxes can affect performance; reduce “Max HTF Candles to Keep” if needed.

[RealEdgeFX] - Manipulation CandleOverview
The Manipulation Candle indicator highlights potential liquidity grabs and false breakouts directly on the chart. It focuses on moments when price sweeps prior highs or lows but closes in the opposite direction, suggesting a possible manipulation before a market reversal.
Core Logic
The indicator compares the current candle against the previous one and colors the bar when specific conditions are met:
Sell Manipulation (dark red)
When the current candle breaks above the previous high but then closes below the prior low.
→ This often signals a stop hunt to the upside followed by bearish intent.
Buy Manipulation (light green)
When the current candle breaks below the previous low but then closes above the prior high.
→ This suggests a liquidity sweep to the downside before bullish continuation.
Neutral candles remain uncolored to avoid clutter and keep the focus on high-impact moments.
Design Approach
Clarity: Only the candles that meet strict criteria are marked, reducing noise.
Liquidity Focused : Built for traders who want to quickly spot manipulative price action.
Non-Repainting : Once a candle is identified as manipulation, the color stays fixed.
Usage
Add it as an overlay on your chart.
Watch for green or red manipulation candles as alerts of possible reversals or liquidity events.
Combine with your own market structure or bias tools to increase accuracy.

Cvd Divergence Signals with filter.
CVD Divergence + Candles - False Signal Filter
Hey traders,
I want to share my custom indicator with you. Through testing, I've found that CVD (Composite Volume Delta) captures divergences much more accurately than traditional tools like RSI. But this isn't just another divergence indicator - I've added strict candlestick pattern confirmation to filter out false signals. I'll keep improving this tool over time, and I welcome all your suggestions in the comments.
How it works step-by-step:
1. First, it detects CVD divergences (the delta between buy/sell volumes)
2. Then confirms each signal with reversal candlestick patterns:
- Hammer/Hanging Man
- Engulfing
- Pin Bar
- Inside Bar
Why mine beats standard CVD indicators:
• No raw divergences - only shows signals confirmed by BOTH volume AND price action
• Eliminates 80% of junk signals from basic versions
• Adaptable to any asset and timeframe
Simple usage guide:
Green arrows = Buy when:
- CVD shows bullish divergence
- AND a hammer/pin bar appears
Red arrows = Sell when:
- CVD shows bearish divergence
- Confirmed by hanging man/engulfing pattern
Pro tip:
For best results, combine with:
• Volume profile analysis
• Smart Money concepts (order blocks, FVGs )
Important notes:
This isn't a holy grail - I personally use it with support/resistance levels. Works best on 5M charts for scalping.
