Addressing the Shortcomings of Conventional Candle Charts

I. Surmounting Volatility Challenges
In the realm of combined heightened or subdued volatility and erratic market conditions, traditional candlestick charts are susceptible to deficiencies in isolating extraneous data noise (e.g. high/low wicks, given their frequent incongruity with pivotal market dynamics or arbitrary green/red coloring of candle bodies).

II. Precision in Application
Novice traders may erroneously construe and misemploy traditional candlestick patterns, culminating in erroneous trading determinations. In addressing this challenge, this indicator can help to identify critical signal confluences, enhancing potential signals accuracy.

III. Strategy at the Core
Relying solely on candlestick charts lacks potency without an underpinning well-knit strategy. blackOrb's methodology integrates discernment of pivotal chart configurations with the meticulous construction of comprehensive strategies to mirror a comprehension of potential market dynamics.


blackOrb's Aspirations: Overcoming Enunciated Challenges of Traditional Candle Charts

- Customizable Data Analysis
Engendering the evolution of candle charts involves the judicious adjustment of multifarious open/high/low/close iterations coupled with evaluative mechanisms such as Heikin Ashi and MA smoothing, combined with stochastic calculations.

- Holistic Perspective
Seamless deployment of trading strategies is engendered through salient facets, encompassing up- and downside ratios as well as adaptable true range visualizations, attuned to unfolding price dynamics.

- Personalized Approach
Adaptations in trading styles are seamlessly accommodated, as this indicator offers stochastic candle coloring with customizable stochastic look-back evaluation phases. A selection of over 20 color schemes accommodates individual preferences to differentiate various chart setups at first glance.
Note: However, it's important to recognize that the efficacy of evaluation coloring might be compromised during periods of lateral price movement, characterized by less prominent market trends.

- Ghost Mode for Comparative Insights
Unveiling correlations and divergences, the Ghost Mode overlays two candle charts, which can reveal price trajectories and reactions (e.g. Apple stock's potential response to the NASDAQ 100 Technology Sector Index).
Note: This approach may not capture nuanced correlations during intricate market scenarios.




Technical Methodology

At its core, the stochastic calculation methodology of this indicator centers around the following formula:

100 * (close - lowest(low, length)) / (highest(high, length) - lowest(low, length))

This key formula employs a stochastic calculation methodology that assesses the percentage deviation of the closing price from the lowest low over a specified timeframe (length), relative to the span between the highest high and the lowest low. The outcome is normalized within a range of 0 to 100, providing insights into the relative position of the closing price within the high-low range. Traders can define the specific periods over which the stochastic calculation is performed.

Based on this stochastic analysis, the indicator integrates candle coloring, affording users the flexibility to adjust the sensitivity of candle coloring according to customized stochastic look-back evaluation phases. Consequently, the coloration of candles by length evaluation can mirror a comprehension of market dynamics.

By allowing traders to designate specific periods for the stochastic calculation, it fosters adaptability in combination with the following technical features:
- Conjoining optional transparent Heikin Ashi and/or a weighted MA alternative to harness the virtues of smoothing sans confounding authentic price data and candle dynamics
- Individual electable focus range encompassing retrospection and real-time alignments
- Intra-temporal evaluations, sub-domains & amalgamated value permutations
- Prioritizing individually chosen focus time intervals within the realm of real price highs and lows
- Elaborate price display (e.g. high/low/ohlc4/close) upon chart-hover, accentuating close price implications
- Features offering diverse scaling options, alongside adaptable and customizable price display
- Unveiling uncluttered and directed candle body visualization, implementing wicks to the transparent candle body, given their frequent incongruity of high/low data with pivotal market dynamics


Note on Usability

This indicator isn't intended for standalone trading application. Instead, it offers an alternative approach to traditional candle charts, serving as a supplementary tool for orientation within broader trading strategies.
Irrespective of market conditions, it can harmonize with a wider range of trading styles and instruments/trading pairs/indices like Stocks, Gold, EURUSDSPX500, GBPUSD, BTCUSD and Oil.
