Reversal Candlestick PatternsReversal Candlestick Patterns
Reversal Candlestick Patterns is an indicator designed to detect classic candlestick reversal patterns with additional market context filtering.
The indicator identifies ten well-known reversal candlestick patterns and displays them directly on the chart as visual blocks. Each pattern is detected using its own logic, based on candle structure, position relative to local extremes, and the direction of the current trend.
Bullish patterns:
> Bullish Engulfing
> Morning Star
> Hammer
> Inverted Hammer
> Three White Soldiers
Bearish patterns:
> Bearish Engulfing
> Evening Star
> Hanging Man
> Shooting Star
> Three Black Crows
Pattern configuration
Detection of each individual pattern, its short name displayed on the chart, and the color of the highlighting block can be configured separately in the first two settings groups:
Bullish Patterns and Bearish Patterns .
This allows you to fully customize which patterns are used, how they are labeled, and how they are visually represented.
Trend filtering
The indicator includes an optional trend filter based on two Simple Moving Averages.
It is enabled using the Check Trend setting. The Trend Detection Length parameter is used simultaneously for several calculations:
> Length of the fast moving average
> Half of the slow moving average length
> Number of consecutive bars required to confirm trend direction
This approach helps filter out reversal patterns that form against a well-established trend.
External filters
The indicator supports external confirmation filters for bullish and bearish patterns. External filter settings are located in the External Filters group. For each filter, you can specify the value of an external indicator that must be met for a pattern to be confirmed. This allows flexible integration with oscillators, volume-based indicators, or custom scripts.
Visualization settings
Visualization settings control:
> Pattern name display
> Text size
> Block fill transparency
These settings affect only the visual presentation and do not influence the detection logic.
Alerts
The indicator provides two types of alerts:
1. Global alert for any detected pattern. Created by selecting “Any alert() function call” when setting up an alert.
2. Dedicated alert conditions for:
> Each individual pattern
> Any bullish pattern
> Any bearish pattern
Please note: if detection of a specific pattern is disabled in the settings, alerts for that pattern will not trigger.
Important note
Candlestick patterns should not be used as standalone trading signals. This indicator is intended to be used as part of a broader analysis, together with trend structure, key levels, volume, and other analytical tools.

Daily Candle Bias Backtesting Stats @MaxMaserati This indicator, is a powerful backtesting and probability tool designed to quantify the "follow-through" of specific candle types across different market sessions.
It identifies specific price action setups and tracks whether price hits a "Target" (continuation) or an "Invalidation" (reversal) first, providing real-time win rates for your favorite sessions.
The Candle Bias Stats indicator automatically categorizes every candle based on the MMM candle bias and tracks their historical success rate. It calculates how often a candle's high/low is broken before its opposite end is touched. By breaking this data down into sessions (Asian, London, NY), it identifies high-probability "time-of-day" windows where specific price action setups are most reliable.
MMM CANDLE LOGIC
Bullish Expansion & Breakout Signatures
Bullish Body Close Plus (BuBC Plus): Represents strong bullish momentum where price closes above the previous high and near its own top, signaling that buyers are in complete control.
Bullish Body Close Minus (BuBC Minus): Indicates weak bullish momentum; while the price closes above the previous high, a long top wick shows sellers pushed back, suggesting a potential retest of the previous high.
Bearish Expansion & Breakout Signatures
Bearish Body Close Plus (BeBC Plus): A very strong bearish signal where price closes below the previous low and near its own bottom, indicating sellers are dominant.
Bearish Body Close Minus (BeBC Minus): Signifies weak bearish momentum; the price breaks the previous low but finishes with a long bottom wick as buyers push back, often leading to a retest of the old ceiling.
Bullish Reversal & Trap Signatures (Affinity)
Bullish Affinity Plus (BuAF Plus): A strong bullish reversal where a new low is made, but sellers hit a wall and get trapped, causing price to finish near its top with a long bottom wick.
Bullish Affinity Minus (BuAF Minus): A weak bullish bounce where a new low is made and price finishes back inside the previous range, but buyers lack the energy for a significant move.
Bearish Reversal & Trap Signatures (Affinity)
Bearish Affinity Plus (BeAF Plus): A strong bearish reversal; buyers are trapped after making a new high, and price finishes near its bottom with a long top wick.
Bearish Affinity Minus (BeAF Minus): A weak bearish drop where sellers stop the rise but lack the energy to push price significantly lower.
Neutral & Volatility Signatures
Close Inside Bullish (CI•BuAF): Bullish neutral state where price stays inside the previous candle’s range but finishes in the top half, indicating buyers are slightly more active.
Close Inside Bearish (CI•BeAF): Bearish neutral state where price remains inside the previous box and finishes in the bottom half.
Seek & Destroy Bullish (S&D•BuAF): Bullish volatility characterized by price moving above and below the previous candle before buyers win the battle and close price near the top.
Seek & Destroy Bearish (S&D•BeAF): Bearish volatility where sellers win a high-chaos battle, closing price near the bottom after sweeping both sides of the previous candle.
H4 CANDLE EXAMPLE
Deep Dive: Analysis of the 4H Statistics
The image presents a comprehensive backtest of 4,999 total candles from September 2022 to December 2025. Here is the breakdown of what the interface is telling us:
1. The Strategy: Target vs. Invalidation
The indicator tracks BuBC (Bullish Body Close) and BeBC (Bearish Body Close).
The Target: For a Bullish candle, the target is the High. For a Bearish candle, it is the Low.
The Invalidation: The opposite end of the candle (the Low for Bullish, the High for Bearish).
The Goal: To see which level is touched first in the subsequent bars.
2. Global Performance (The Top Right Table)
Looking at the BuBC (1402 samples) section:
Target First (67.8%): In nearly 7 out of 10 cases, once a 4H candle closes "bullish" (breaking the previous high), the price continues higher to break its own high before it ever returns to take out its own low.
Both Hit (17.7%): This is a critical metric. It represents "Stop Runs" or "Wicks" where price hits the target but also hits the invalidation within the same tracking period.
Efficiency (1.3 Bars): This tells us the "follow-through" is almost immediate. If the trade doesn't work within 1 or 2 candles, the statistical edge drops off significantly.
3. The Session Breakdown (The Bottom Left Table)
This is where the "Edge" is found. Not all hours of the day are created equal.
Asian Late (02:00-06:00) – The "Star" Performer: With a 72.9% Target rate, this is labeled "BEST." It has the lowest "Both%" (6.5%), meaning moves during these hours are incredibly "clean." If a setup forms here, price usually moves directly to the target without looking back.
London Open & Overlap (06:00-14:00): These sessions maintain a high win rate (approx. 70%). This suggests that the European session provides reliable trend continuation for the S&P 500.
NY Session (14:00-18:00) – The "Trap" Zone: This is labeled "WORST" for a reason. While the win rate is basically a coin flip (49.6%), the Both% spikes to 36.7%. This means that even if you are right about the direction, the market is highly likely to "sweep" your stop loss before going to the target. It is the most volatile and "fake-out" prone time for this specific setup.
Summary of the Data
The statistics show that the S&P 500 4H Candle Bias is a highly reliable trend-following indicator, provided you trade it at the right time.
The data suggests a clear three-step logic:
Directional Edge: Both Bullish and Bearish body closes have a natural ~67% probability of continuation.
Timing is Everything: Trading during the Late Asian and London sessions increases your probability of success to over 70% with very low risk of a "fake-out."
Risk Warning: Avoid "Body Close" breakout strategies during the NY Mid-day (14:00-18:00). The statistics prove that this window is dominated by "Seek and Destroy" price action, where price is mathematically likely to hit both your target and your stop, usually hitting the stop first.
30m Hollow Candle on 5m - SSThis indicator overlays 30-minute candles on a 5-minute chart using clean, hollow-style higher-timeframe (HTF) candles.
The design keeps your chart readable while giving you full insight into the 30m structure that drives intraday price movements.
Each 30-minute candle is drawn as a transparent, hollow outline, so your 5-minute candles remain perfectly visible. The indicator preserves all candle characteristics:
Wicks (high & low)
Open/close levels
Color-coded direction (green = bullish, red = bearish)
Invisible body to avoid overlapping or chart clutter
This tool allows intraday traders to track 30m market structure without constantly switching timeframes.
Squeeze Momentum Early In and Out CandlesJohn Carter presented some candles called "Early In and Out Candles". Although I couldn't imitate the exact candles and warnings I create better indications and bars in my opinion.
When the Candles are above Donchian MA then we have a bullish Momentum.
When the Candles are bellow Donchian MA then we have bearish momentum.
This indicator works best to get an WARNING to enter and close EARLY positions.
Bullish:
When the candles are Light Blue then we have early warning to enter.
When the candles are Dark Blue then we have early warning to close the position.
Bearish:
When the candles are Red then we have early warning to enter.
When the candles are Yellow then we have early warning to close the position.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Always combine it with the Squeeze Pro indicator.
Suggested Donchian MA: 5 (You can adjust it).
Don't let candles only to be your closing indication once again there are EARLY WARNINGS therefore can move your stop loses to maximize your profits when you are exiting.
I tested my self and I found that is the best strategy when we get Dark Blue candle in the Bullish move I move my stop loss little bit bellow the candle.
Therefore here we go we have early warnings for In and Out.
Thank you and Good Luck.
Burner Volume CandlesVisually see different candle colors based on volume relative to the look back period (default is last 20 candles).
This allows you to see if a current candle print is standard, high, or extreme sell/buy volume relative to the look back period.
This has been primarily used on the 30s timeframe on NQ.
It is also advised to take the NY open candle volume with a grain of salt as that is typically the extreme volume so it doesn't make this indicator as useful when it comes to those candles.
Disguised Candles by The School of Dalal StreetDisguised Candles corrects one of the subtle visual distortions present in normal candlestick charts — the mismatch between the close of one candle and the open of the next.
On many instruments (especially at day/session breaks), the next candle’s open often jumps due to price gaps or data feed behavior. This can make reading the flow of price action harder than necessary.
Disguised Candles fixes this by plotting synthetic candles where the open of each candle is forced to match the close of the previous one — creating a visually continuous flow of price.
Real candles are made fully transparent, so only the "corrected" candles are visible.
This allows traders to:
Visualize price flow as a smooth path
Better spot true directional shifts and trends
Avoid distractions caused by technical gaps that are not meaningful to their strategy
🚀 Pure visual clarity. No noise from false opens.
How it works:
The open of each synthetic candle = close of previous real candle
High, Low, Close remain unchanged
Colors are based on Close vs Corrected Open
Real chart candles are hidden under a transparent overlay
Use this as a clean canvas for trend analysis or as a foundation for building new visual systems.
Volume CandlesVolume Candles — Context-Aware Candle Color
Description:
This visual indicator colors your price candles based on relative volume intensity, helping traders instantly detect low, medium, and high volume activity at a glance. It supports two modes — Percentile Ranking and Volume Average — offering flexible interpretation of volume pressure across all timeframes.
It uses a 3-tiered color system (bright, medium, dark) with customizable tones for both bullish and bearish candles.
How It Works:
You can choose between two modes for volume classification:
Ranking Mode (Default):
Measures current volume’s percentile rank over a lookback period. Higher percentiles = stronger color intensity.
Percentile thresholds:
< 50% → light color (low volume)
50–80% → medium intensity
> 80% → high volume
Volume Average Mode:
Compares current volume against its simple moving average (SMA).
Volume thresholds:
< 0.5× SMA → light color
Between 0.5× and 1.5× → medium
> 1.5× → high intensity
Candle Paint:
Candles are colored directly on the chart, not in a separate pane. Bullish candles use green shades, bearish use red. All colors are fully customizable.
How to Interpret:
Bright Colors = High volume (potential strength or climax)
Muted/Transparent Colors = Low or average volume (consolidation, traps)
Example Use Cases:
Spot fakeouts with large price movement on weak volume (dark color)
Confirm breakout strength with bright candles
Identify stealth accumulation/distribution
Inputs & Settings:
Mode: Ranking Percentile or Volume Average
Lookback Period for ranking and SMA
Custom Colors for bullish and bearish candles at 3 intensity levels
Best For:
Price action traders wanting context behind each candle
Scalpers and intraday traders needing real-time volume feedback
Anyone using volume as a filter for entries or breakouts
Pro Tips:
Combine with Price Action, Bollinger Bands or VWAP/EMA levels to confirm breakout validity and intent behind a move.
Use alongside RSI/MACD divergences for high-volume reversal signals.
For swing trading, expand the lookback period to better normalize volume over longer trends.
2 MA + Strat Candle ColorsThe "2 MA + Strat Candle Colors" indicator combines two customizable moving averages (MAs) with a strategic candle-coloring system to help traders analyze trends and price action. Here’s a breakdown of its features:
1. Two Moving Averages (MAs):
MA 1 & MA 2 Settings:
Users can select between 7 MA types for each line: SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA, VWMA, LSMA, SMMA.
Adjustable periods and price sources (e.g., close, open) for both MAs.
Default settings: MA 1 = 9-period EMA, MA 2 = 20-period EMA.
Plotting:
MA 1 is blue, MA 2 is red (colors customizable via inputs).
Crossovers between the MAs can signal trend changes.
2. Strategic Candle Coloring:
Candles are colored based on their relationship to the previous candle:
Green (Bullish): "Two-Up Bar" – current high > prior high, and low does not break prior low.
Red (Bearish): "Two-Down Bar" – current low < prior low, and high does not break prior high.
Purple (Outside Bar): "Three Bar" – current candle engulfs the prior candle (higher high and lower low).
Yellow (Inside Bar): "One Bar" – current candle is contained within the prior candle’s range.
Candle coloring is based on:
Big Candle Highlighter (Nifty 1m)This indicator will help option buyers to avoid taking trade in impulsive candles.
For Example :
Normal 1m candle: ~10–15 pts
Big candle (possible liquidity/impulse): >18 pts
Very large / avoid chasing: >25 pts
If you see a candle that breaks structure with a 25-30 point range and closes strong, it’s often:
A liquidity sweep
A news spike
Or the start of an impulsive leg — in which case entering at close can be risky without a retest
3 Candles Gap3 Candle Gap Indicator is made to detect these types of patterns:
1. 3 consecutive bullish or bearish candles
2. the middle candle true body (body excluding shadows) has a part that is not covered by previous and next candle shadows (gap)
This pattern helps traders to detect candles where price has moved in a direction and gap has formed (price is not covered by previous or next candles shadows), this is a signal showing price momentum where one side (bulls/bears) is so powerful at moving the price that the other side (bears/bulls) can't get price back to cover the gap.
This indicator has "repainting" by 1 candle which means, it uses the data from future to work, however this future data does not go further than 1 candle.
Impulse Candle with Volume & Std AnalysisImpulse Candle with Volume & Std Analysis
This indicator highlights “impulse” candles on your chart by combining price action and volume analysis to gauge the strength of market moves.
How It Works:
Impulse Candle Detection:
The indicator measures the candle’s body size and compares it to the Average True Range (ATR). When a candle’s body exceeds a user-defined multiple of the ATR (the “Impulse Factor”), it is flagged as an impulse candle.
Volume Analysis:
For each impulse candle, the indicator calculates the expected volume (Impulse Factor × average volume) and compares the actual volume against this expected value. It uses the standard deviation of volume over a specified period to classify the move’s volume as:
Extreme Low: More than 2 standard deviations below the expected volume
Low: Between 1 and 2 standard deviations below expected
Normal: Within 1 standard deviation of expected volume
High: Between 1 and 2 standard deviations above expected
Extreme High: More than 2 standard deviations above expected
Visual Cues:
The impulse candles are color-coded based on the volume classification.
A text-only label (with customizable text color) appears just above each impulse candle, indicating its volume category. The label has no background, ensuring a clean, unobtrusive look.
Customization:
Users can adjust parameters such as the Impulse Factor, ATR length, and volume averaging period to tailor the indicator to their trading style.
This tool is perfect for traders who want a quick visual representation of both significant price moves and the corresponding volume strength behind those moves.
Mushir's Inside Candle IndicatorThis indicator detects inside candle formations on the chart’s current timeframe. It highlights when a candle’s range is fully engulfed by the previous candle’s range, provided the previous candle meets specific criteria.
How It Works ?
It shows the formation of inside candle on the charts to help in find trades.
Mother Candle Validation
The previous candle must be a “leg candle” with a strong body and minimal wicks relative to its body size, ensuring a robust structure.
Inside Candle Detection
The current candle qualifies as an inside candle if:
Its high is ≤ the previous candle’s high.
Its low is ≥ the previous candle’s low.
Why Use This Indicator?
Adapts to the chart’s current timeframe—no manual adjustments needed.
Easily gives you the identification of inside candles
Minimalistic Design
Better results in trending market
How to use it?
- when the inside candle is formed there are certain conditions:
1. if the next candle first crosses the high of inside candle, look for a potential buy trade with RR as 2:1 while stoploss being just below the low of inside candle.
2. if the next candle first crosses the low of inside candle, look for a potential sell trade with RR as 2:1 while stoploss being just above the high of inside candle.
3. if 2:1 is achieved, then increase the partial target to 3:1 while bringing the stoploss to the entry point.
4. if the high is crossed first and then the low is crossed or vice versa then the trade is invalidated.
Happy Trading!
EMA 5 Alert Candle ShortThe 5 EMA (Exponential Moving Average) Strategy is a simple yet effective trading strategy that helps traders identify short-term trends and potential entry and exit points. This strategy is widely used in intraday and swing trading, particularly in forex, stocks, and crypto markets.
Components of the 5 EMA Strategy
5 EMA: A fast-moving average that reacts quickly to price movements.
15-minute or 1-hour timeframe (commonly used, but adaptable to other timeframes).
Candlestick Patterns: To confirm entry signals.
How the 5 EMA Strategy Works
Buy (Long) Setup:
Price Above the 5 EMA: The price should be trading above the 5 EMA.
Pullback to the 5 EMA: A minor retracement or consolidation near the 5 EMA.
Bullish Candlestick Confirmation: A bullish candle (e.g., engulfing or pin bar) forms near the 5 EMA.
Entry: Enter a long trade at the close of the bullish candle.
Stop Loss: Place below the recent swing low or 5-10 pips below the 5 EMA.
Take Profit: Aim for a risk-reward ratio of at least 1:2 or trail the stop using a higher EMA (e.g., 10 or 20 EMA).
Sell (Short) Setup:
Price Below the 5 EMA: The price should be trading below the 5 EMA.
Pullback to the 5 EMA: A small retracement towards the 5 EMA.
Bearish Candlestick Confirmation: A bearish candle (e.g., engulfing or pin bar) near the 5 EMA.
Entry: Enter a short trade at the close of the bearish candle.
Stop Loss: Place above the recent swing high or 5-10 pips above the 5 EMA.
Take Profit: Aim for a 1:2 risk-reward ratio or use a trailing stop.
Additional Filters for Better Accuracy
Higher Timeframe Confirmation: Check the trend on a higher timeframe (e.g., 1-hour or 4-hour).
Volume Confirmation: Enter trades when volume is increasing.
Avoid Sideways Market: Use the strategy only when the market is trending.
Advantages of the 5 EMA Strategy
✔️ Simple and easy to use.
✔️ Works well in trending markets.
✔️ Helps traders capture short-term momentum.
Disadvantages
❌ Less effective in choppy or sideways markets.
❌ Requires discipline in following stop-loss rules.
Half Candle RetraceThis custom indicator draws a horizontal line at the 50% retracement level of each candlestick on the chart. It calculates the midpoint between the high and low of each candle, which is often used by traders to identify potential entry, exit and take-profit levels. Once price action returns to an untouched level, the line will be removed, leaving only the levels where price action is still missing.
Key Features:
Timeframe: Works on all timeframes.
Line Color: Customize the line color to suit your charting preferences.
Line Width: Adjust the thickness of the retracement line for better visibility.
Line Style: Choose between solid, dotted, or dashed lines.
Up/Down Candle Selection: Option to only display retracement lines for up (bullish) candles, down (bearish) candles, or both.
Full Customization: Control the transparency (opacity) of the line for enhanced visual clarity.
Simple Setup: No complicated settings – simply choose your preferred color, line style, and visibility options.
This indicator is perfect for traders who prefer to use price action and retracement levels to identify potential trade opportunities.
How It Works:
The indicator automatically calculates the 50% level (midpoint) for each candlestick, drawing a line at this level. It will only draw lines for candles that match your chosen criteria (up or down candles), ensuring the chart remains clean and relevant to your trading strategy. Lines are automatically removed as soon as price crosses them.

Candle Emotion Index (CEI) StrategyThe Candle Emotion Index (CEI) Strategy is an innovative sentiment-based trading approach designed to help traders identify and capitalize on market psychology. By analyzing candlestick patterns and combining them into a unified metric, the CEI Strategy provides clear entry and exit signals while dynamically managing risk. This strategy is ideal for traders looking to leverage market sentiment to identify high-probability trading opportunities.
How It Works
The CEI Strategy is built around three core oscillators that reflect key emotional states in the market:
Indecision Oscillator . Measures market uncertainty using patterns like Doji and Spinning Tops. High values indicate hesitation, signaling potential turning points.
Fear Oscillator . Tracks bearish sentiment through patterns like Shooting Star, Hanging Man, and Bearish Engulfing. Helps identify moments of intense selling pressure.
Greed Oscillator . Detects bullish sentiment using patterns like Marubozu, Hammer, Bullish Engulfing, and Three White Soldiers. Highlights periods of strong buying interest.
These oscillators are averaged into the Candle Emotion Index (CEI):
CEI = (Indecision + Fear + Greed) / 3
This single value quantifies overall market sentiment and drives the strategy’s trading decisions.
Key Features
Sentiment-Based Trading Signals . Long Entry: Triggered when the CEI crosses above a lower threshold (e.g., 0.1), indicating increasing bullish sentiment. Short Entry: Triggered when the CEI crosses above a higher threshold (e.g., 0.2), signaling rising bearish sentiment.
Volume Confirmation . Trades are validated only if volume exceeds a user-defined multiplier of the average volume over the lookback period. This ensures entries are backed by significant market activity.
Break-Even Recovery Mechanism . If a trade moves into a loss, the strategy attempts to recover to break-even instead of immediately exiting at a loss. This feature provides flexibility, allowing the market to recover while maintaining disciplined risk management.
Dynamic Risk Management . Maximum Holding Period: Trades are closed after a user-defined number of candles to avoid overexposure to prolonged uncertainty. Profit-Taking Conditions: Positions are exited when favorable price moves are confirmed by increased volume, locking in gains. Loss Threshold: Trades are exited early if the price moves unfavorably beyond a set percentage of the entry price, limiting potential losses.
Cooldown Period . After a trade is closed, a cooldown period prevents immediate re-entry, reducing overtrading and improving signal quality.
Why Use This Strategy?
The CEI Strategy combines advanced sentiment analysis with robust trade management, making it a powerful tool for traders seeking to understand market psychology and identify high-probability setups. Its unique features, such as the break-even recovery mechanism and volume confirmation, add an extra layer of discipline and reliability to trading decisions.
Best Practices
Combine with Other Indicators . Use trend-following tools (e.g., moving averages, ADX) and momentum oscillators (e.g., RSI, MACD) to confirm signals.
Align with Key Levels . Incorporate support and resistance levels for refined entries and exits.
Multi-Market Compatibility . Apply this strategy to forex, crypto, stocks, or any asset class with strong volume and price action.

Traders can utilize this indicator to gain insights into HTF candle movements on LTF charts. It helps in identifying the range, direction, and bodies of candles from a higher timeframe perspective.
HTF Candle Box Formation:
The script identifies the start of a new interval on the HTF by monitoring changes in the specified timeframe (Interval).
For each new interval, it records key data points, including the open, high, low, and bar index.
The indicator then uses this information to draw a box on the LTF chart, encapsulating the HTF candle's high and low.
Candle Body Representation:
Users can choose to include the candle body in the box (BodyCandleBox).
If selected, the script draws an additional box representing the HTF candle body, from the open to the previous bar's close.
Color Customization:
Traders can customize box colors for long and short candles on the HTF.
Boxes can be transparent or filled with a specified color.
Multiple Timeframes:
The script supports multiple timeframes simultaneously, allowing traders to overlay HTF candle boxes from different intervals on the same chart.
Configurable options (Interval, Interval1, Interval2) provide flexibility in selecting additional timeframes.
Note:
Understanding the visual representation of HTF candles on LTF charts can aid traders in making more informed decisions, especially when considering the interplay between different timeframes.

Glan Nilly candle TrendThis script is based on Nilly River Theory, and shows up, down, inner and outer bars according that concept.
it can be used for trend recognition. blue after blue candles show continuation of an upward trend.
red after red candles show continuation of a downward trend. gray candles are members of the trend they are within.
An opposite candle color to previous candles shows minor trend reversal. high of the last candle of a blue after blue candles shows a new up(grey candles within the way are part of that trend).
low of the last candle of a red after red candles shows a new down(grey candles within the way are part of that trend).
if the new up is upper and new down is upper than previous ones, then this is real upward trend. if the new up is lower than and new down is lower than previous ones, then this is real downward trend. it is not allowed to trade in opposite direction of a trend and this indicator help us to recognize the trend.
Yearly CandlesPlots yearly candles from monthly candles data. This indicator could also be used to view yearly candles of those symbols for which candlesticks are not available in TradingView (for e.g., ECONOMICS:USINTR , ECONOMICS:USIRYY , ECONOMICS:USWG etc)
As these are not out of the box candles they do have these shortcomings -
Last candle's data is not available in status line, a separate label lists OHLC and change details near its close level
The very first candle's width may vary based on how much data is available for that year
Works only with monthly timeframe
Only those indicators that can be added on other indicators can be applied, however, they may still not work as intended as this still technically is a monthly chart!
3 Candle Strike StretegyMainly developed for AMEX:SPY trading on 1 min chart. But feel free to try on other tickers.
Basic idea of this strategy is to look for 3 candle reversal pattern within trending market structure. The 3 candle reversal pattern consist of 3 consecutive bullish or bearish candles,
followed by an engulfing candle in the opposite direction. This pattern usually signals a reversal of short term trend. This strategy also uses multiple moving averages to filter long or short
entries. ie. if the 21 smoothed moving average is above the 50, only look for long (bullish) entries, and vise versa. There is option change these moving average periods to suit your needs.
I also choose to use Linear Regression to determine whether the market is ranging or trending. It seems the 3 candle pattern is more successful under trending market. Hence I use it as a filter.
There is also an option to combine this strategy with moving average crossovers. The idea is to look for 3 candle pattern right after a fast moving average crosses over a slow moving average.
By default , 21 and 50 smoothed moving averages are used. This gives additional entry opportunities and also provides better results.
This strategy aims for 1:3 risk to reward ratio. Stop losses are calculated using the closest low or high values for long or short entries, respectively, with an offset using a percentage of
the daily ATR value. This allows some price fluctuation without being stopped out prematurely. Price target is calculated by multiplying the difference between the entry price and the stop loss
by a factor of 3. When price target is reach, this strategy will set stop loss at the price target and wait for exit condition to maximize potential profit.
This strategy will exit an order if an opposing 3 candle pattern is detected, this could happen before stop loss or price target is reached, and may also happen after price target is reached.
*Note that this strategy is designed for same day SPY option scalping. I haven't determined an easy way to calculate the # of contracts to represent the equivalent option values. Plus the option
prices varies greatly depending on which strike and expiry that may suits your trading style. Therefore, please be mindful of the net profit shown. By default, each entry is approximately equal
to buying 10 of same day or 1 day expiry call or puts at strike $1 - $2 OTM. This strategy will close all open trades at 3:45pm EST on Mon, Wed, and Fri.
**Note that this strategy also takes into account of extended market data.
***Note pyramiding is set to 2 by default, so it allows for multiple entries on the way towards price target.
Remember that market conditions are always changing. This strategy was only able to be back-tested using 1 month of data. This strategy may not work the next month. Please keep that in mind.
Also, I take no credit for any of the indicators used as part of this strategy.
Enjoy~
