Candlestick analysis

Exciting Candles by BitcoinBailyExciting Candles by BitcoinBaily — is a custom indicator that visually highlights "momentum" or "exciting" candlesticks on the chart. It helps traders quickly identify candles with strong body-to-range ratios, i.e., candles showing strong price momentum (big move between open and close relative to the high-low range). If the candle’s body is greater than or equal to the threshold percentage (say 85%), the bar is colored yellow. Otherwise, no color is applied. Yellow Candle = Exciting Candle The candle’s body occupies ≥ the set % (e.g., 85%) of the total high-low range. Indicates strong momentum (buyers or sellers dominated most of that period). No Color = Neutral / Normal Candle Price moved both ways (upper & lower wicks), but neither buyers nor sellers fully dominated. 1. Range Breakout: When price breaks a sideways range and a yellow (exciting) candle appears, it confirms that real momentum has entered — a good time to catch the move early. 2. Trend Pullback: If price dips to a moving average (like 20 or 50 SMA) and then forms a yellow candle, it signals that buyers are regaining control — often a high-probability trend continuation entry. 3. Exhaustion Top: A yellow bearish candle near a resistance area shows strong selling pressure — a warning that the uptrend may be ending. 4. Sideways Market: When no yellow candles appear, the market lacks momentum — best to stay out and avoid choppy trades.

Camarilla Pivots + 20 EMA StrategyThis is an intraday volatility and trend-following system for commodities like Natural Gas, combining dynamic pivot levels (Camarilla) with a trend filter (20-period EMA) to improve risk-reward and reduce false breakouts. Core Components 1. Camarilla Pivots: These are special support and resistance levels (H3, H4, L3, L4) calculated each day based on the previous day's high, low, and close. The pivots adapt to daily volatility, giving more relevant breakout and bounce zones than static lines. H4: Aggressive resistance (used for breakout LONG entry) H3: Moderate resistance/support (used for bounce or stoploss) L4: Aggressive support (used for breakout SHORT entry) L3: Moderate support/resistance (used for bounce or stoploss) 2. 20 EMA (Exponential Moving Average): Plotted on the 30-minute chart, this acts as a trend filter. If the price is above 20 EMA: Only look for long trades (bullish bias). If below 20 EMA: Only look for short trades (bearish bias). How the Strategy Works Setup (30-Min Chart): Camarilla pivots for the day are drawn on the chart. 20 EMA is also plotted. Trade Filter: Bullish: Trade ONLY if price is above 20 EMA. Bearish: Trade ONLY if price is below 20 EMA. Entry: LONG: Enter when price breaks and closes above the H4 pivot AND is above 20 EMA. SHORT: Enter when price breaks and closes below the L4 pivot AND is below 20 EMA. Stop Loss: LONG: Place stoploss at H3 (the next lower Camarilla resistance). SHORT: Place stoploss at L3 (the next higher Camarilla support). Target: Always set a profit target at 2x the distance (risk) between entry and stoploss (strict R:R 2). For example, if your entry is at H4 and stoploss at H3, your target is entry + 2*(entry - stoploss). Alerts & Visuals: The strategy plots entry arrows, stoploss and target lines for immediate visual reference. Alerts trigger on breakout signals so you never miss a trade. Why This Works Well for Natural Gas Adapts to volatility: The pivots change daily, handling wide-ranging and choppy price moves better than fixed breakouts. Trend filter: EMA prevents counter-trend whipsaws, only trades with market momentum. Risk control: Every trade must meet strict risk-reward criteria, so losses are contained and winners can outweigh losers.

US Opening 5-Minute Candle HighlighterUS Opening 5-Minute Candle Highlighter — True RVOL (Two-Tier + Label) What it does (in plain English) This indicator finds the first 5-minute bar of the US cash session (09:30–09:35 ET) and highlights it when the candle has the specific “strong open” look you want: Opens near the low of its own range, and Closes near the high of its own range, and Has a decisive real body (not a wick-y doji), and (Optionally) is a green candle, and Meets a TRUE opening-bar RVOL filter (compares today’s 09:30–09:35 volume only to prior sessions’ 09:30–09:35 volumes). You get two visual intensities based on opening RVOL: Tier-1 (≥ threshold 1, default 1.0×) → light green highlight + lime arrow Tier-2 (≥ threshold 2, default 1.5×) → darker green highlight + green arrow An RVOL label (e.g., RVOL 1.84x) can be shown above or below the opening bar. Designed for 5-minute charts. On other timeframes the “opening bar” will be the bar that starts at 09:30 on that timeframe (e.g., 15-minute 09:30–09:45). For best results keep the chart on 5m. How the pattern is defined For the opening 5-minute bar, we compute: Range = high − low Body = |close − open| Then we measure where the open and close sit within the bar’s own range on a 0→1 scale: 0 means exactly at the low 1 means exactly at the high Using two quantiles: Open ≤ position in range (0–1) (default 0.20) Example: 0.20 means “open must be in the lowest 20% of the bar’s range.” Close ≥ position in range (0–1) (default 0.80) Example: 0.80 means “close must be in the top 20% of the bar’s range.” This keeps the logic range-normalized so it adapts across different tickers and vol regimes (you’re not using fixed cents or % of price). Body ≥ fraction of range (0–1) (default 0.55) Requires the real body to be at least that fraction of the total range. 0.55 = body fills ≥ 55% of the candle. Purpose: filter out indecisive, wick-heavy bars. Raise to 0.7–0.8 for only the fattest thrusts; lower to 0.3–0.4 to admit more bars. Require green candle? (default ON) If ON, close > open must be true. Turn OFF if you also want to catch strong red opens for shorts. Minimum range (ticks) Ignore tiny, illiquid opens: e.g., set to 2–5 ticks to suppress micro bars. TRUE Opening-Bar RVOL (why it’s “true”) Most “RVOL” compares against any recent bars, which isn’t fair at the open. This indicator calculates only against prior opening bars: At 09:30–09:35 ET, take today’s opening 5-minute volume. Compare it to the average of the last N sessions’ opening 5-minute volumes. RVOL = today_open_volume / average_prior_open_volumes. So: 1.0× = equal to average prior opens. 1.5× = 150% of average prior opens. 2.0× = double the typical opening participation. A minimum prior samples guard (default 10) ensures you don’t judge with too little history. Until enough samples exist, the RVOL gate won’t pass (you can disable RVOL temporarily if needed). Visuals & tiers Light green highlight + lime arrow → price filters pass and RVOL ≥ Tier-1 (default 1.0×) Dark green highlight + green arrow → price filters pass and RVOL ≥ Tier-2 (default 1.5×) Optional bar paint in matching green tones for extra visibility. Optional RVOL label (e.g., RVOL 1.84x) above or below the opening bar. You can show the label only when the candle qualifies, or on every open. Inputs (step-by-step) Price-action filters Open ≤ position in range (0–1): default 0.20. Smaller = stricter (must open nearer the low). Close ≥ position in range (0–1): default 0.80. Larger = stricter (must close nearer the high). Body ≥ fraction of range (0–1): default 0.55. Raise to demand a “fatter” body. Require green candle?: default ON. Turn OFF to also mark bearish thrusts. Minimum range (ticks): default 0. Set to 2–5 for liquid mid/large caps. Time settings Timezone: default America/New_York. Leave as is for US equities. Start hour / minute: defaults 09:30. The bar that starts at this time is evaluated. TRUE Opening-Bar RVOL (two-tier) Require TRUE opening-bar RVOL?: ON = must pass Tier-1 to highlight; OFF = price filters alone can highlight (still shows Tier-2 when hit). RVOL lookback (prior opens count): default 20. How many prior openings to average. Min prior opens required: default 10. Warm-up guard. Tier-1 RVOL threshold (× avg): default 1.00× (light green). Tier-2 RVOL threshold (× avg): default 1.50× (dark green). Display Also paint candle body?: OFF by default. Turn ON for instant visibility on a chart wall. Arrow size: tiny/small/normal/large. Light/Dark opacity: tune highlight strength. Show RVOL label?: ON/OFF. Show label only when candle qualifies?: ON by default; OFF to see RVOL every open. Label position: Above candle or Below candle. Label size: tiny/small/normal/large. How to use (quick start) Apply to a 5-minute chart. Keep defaults: Open ≤ 0.20, Close ≥ 0.80, Body ≥ 0.55, Require green ON. Turn RVOL required ON, with Tier-1 = 1.0×, Tier-2 = 1.5×, Lookback = 20, Min prior = 10. Optional: enable Paint bar and set Arrow size = large for monitor-wall visibility. Optional: show RVOL label below the bar to keep wicks clean. Interpretation: Dark green = A+ opening thrust with strong participation (≥ Tier-2). Light green = Valid opening thrust with at least average participation (≥ Tier-1). No highlight = one or more filters failed (quantiles, body, green, range, or RVOL if required). Alerts Two alert conditions are included: Opening 5m Match — Tier-2 RVOL → fires when the opening candle passes price filters and RVOL ≥ Tier-2. Opening 5m Match — Tier-1 RVOL → fires when the opening candle passes price filters and RVOL ≥ Tier-1 (but < Tier-2). Recommended alert settings Condition: choose the script + desired tier. Options: Once Per Bar Close (you want the confirmed 09:30–09:35 bar). Set your watchlist to symbols of interest (themes/sectors) and let the alerts pull you to the right charts. Recommended starting values Quantiles: Open ≤ 0.20, Close ≥ 0.80 Body fraction: 0.55 Require green: ON RVOL: Required ON, Tier-1 = 1.0×, Tier-2 = 1.5×, Lookback 20, Min prior 10 Display: Paint bar ON, Arrow large, Label ON, Below candle Tune tighter for A-plus selectivity: Open ≤ 0.15, Close ≥ 0.85, Body ≥ 0.65, Tier-2 2.0×. Notes, tips & limitations 5-minute timeframe is the intended use. On higher TFs, the 09:30 bar spans more than 5 minutes; geometry may not reflect the first 5 minutes alone. RTH only: The opening detection looks at the clock (09:30 ET). Pre-market bars are ignored for the signal and for RVOL history. Warm-up period: Until you have Min prior opens required samples, the RVOL gate won’t pass. You can temporarily toggle RVOL off. DST & timezone: Leave timezone on America/New_York for US equities. If you trade non-US exchanges, set the appropriate TZ and opening time. Illiquid tickers: Use Minimum range (ticks) and require RVOL to reduce noise. No strategy orders: This is a visual/alert tool. Combine with your execution and risk plan. Why this is useful on multi-monitor setups Instant pattern recognition: the two-shade green makes A vs A+ opens pop at a glance. Adaptive thresholds: quantiles & body are within-bar, so it works across $5 and $500 names. Fair volume test: TRUE opening RVOL avoids comparing to pre-market or midday bars. Optional labels: glanceable RVOL x-value helps triage the strongest themes quickly.

Triple Close Indicator (TCI)Triple Close Indicator (TCI) Overview: The Triple Close Indicator (TCI) is a trend-following and entry signal tool designed to simplify market decision-making. Using a 50-period moving average (MA) as the primary trend filter, TCI identifies consecutive close patterns to generate high-probability bullish and bearish entry signals. Its clean design ensures minimal chart clutter while highlighting actionable points. How It Works: Trend Identification The 50 MA is the core trend filter: Price above 50 MA → bullish trend Price below 50 MA → bearish trend Signal Lines (Green/Red Lines) Green Line: Marks every 3rd consecutive higher close Red Line: Marks every 3rd consecutive lower close Signal lines extend 6 bars forward for reference Users can customize line width, transparency, and style (solid/dotted) Entry Signals (Triangles) Bullish Entry: Green line above 50 MA → look for a candle closing above this line within the next configurable lookback window (default 5 bars) Red line above 50 MA → if a candle closes above this line within the lookback window, bullish entry is triggered Bearish Entry: Red line below 50 MA → look for a candle closing below this line within the lookback window Green line below 50 MA → if a candle closes below this line within the lookback window, bearish entry is triggered Visuals 50 MA line – yellow, main trend filter Signal lines – green/red with customizable width, transparency, and style Entry triangles – lime for bullish, red for bearish Alerts are available for real-time notifications How to Use Effectively: Trend Confirmation Only take long entries above 50 MA and short entries below 50 MA Avoid counter-trend entries to reduce false signals Signal Validation Wait for a candle close beyond the signal line to confirm the entry Use the configurable lookback window to capture the most recent valid candle Combine with Other Filters (Optional) Use volume, ATR, or RSI to filter low-probability setups Multi-timeframe analysis can enhance signal reliability Alerts Use built-in TradingView alerts for real-time execution Customize messages for notifications on mobile, email, or webhook Inputs & Customization: MA Type & Length: Choose SMA, EMA, WMA, or VWMA for 50 MA Signal Line Colors: Green (bullish), Red (bearish) Line Width & Transparency: Adjust visual clarity Line Style: Solid or Dotted Lookback Window: Number of bars to check for valid entry after a signal line Best Practices: Use higher timeframes (1H, 4H, daily) for more reliable signals Avoid trading in tight consolidation zones; the indicator works best in trending markets Combine with risk management: define stop-loss below/above signal lines or ATR multiples

Micro SuiteWhat it is: One Pine v5 indicator that stacks several tools: EMA ribbon + a color-flipping 11/34 EMA trend line, multi-timeframe RSI pressure arrows, and a Bollinger Band re-entry system that marks Top/Bottom triggers (T/B) and later “r” confirmations. It also sprinkles in 3-Line Strike, Leledc exhaustion dots, and a small “Micro Dots” engine (ATR regime + VMA filter). Alerts for all of it. TradingView The core signals you’ll actually use: RSI arrows: Up arrow when current RSI(6) < 30 and selected higher-TF RSIs are also < 30; down arrow when > 70 cluster cools. Idea = stacked OB/OS “pressure.” TradingView Bollinger re-entry (T/B + r): T = first close back inside upper band; B = first close back inside lower band. r = confirmation within N bars (price takes out the trigger bar’s high/low). These bars tint so they’re easy to see. TradingView Trend filter: EMA-11 vs EMA-34 color flip + optional VMA trend line; helps you ignore counter-trend stabs. TradingView Quick playbook (how to read it): Reversal short: See a T near the top band → get the r within your window → bonus if a down RSI arrow or a Leledc high dot shows up. Reversal long: Mirror that with B → r, plus an up RSI arrow/Leledc low dot. Continuation: If Micro Dot stays green (or red) and 11>34 EMA holds, ignore isolated T/B traps. TradingView Inputs that matter: confirmBars for the T/B “r” window. Which higher-TF RSIs must agree for arrows. Show/hide and lengths for EMAs and BB. Micro block: show dots, VMA line, and speed (Fast/Med/Slow). TradingView Why people like it: You get trend, momentum, and mean-revert cues on one pane with ready-made alerts, so it’s easier to build a ruleset (e.g., “only take B→r longs when 11>34 and there’s an RSI up arrow”). TradingView Caveats: It’s still just TA—OB/OS clusters can persist in trends; confirmations can miss V-shaped turns; and stacking signals can be late in fast markets. Pair it with risk rules (fixed R, ATR stops) and a higher-TF bias. One-liner cheat sheet: Longs: B → r + RSI up arrow + 11>34 (optional Micro Dot green). Shorts: T → r + RSI down arrow + 11<34 (optional Micro Dot red). TradingView

bar count plot only for far lookbackPurpose: TradingView limits the number of text/label objects (≈500), which causes traditional bar-count indicators to stop showing numbers when you scroll far back in history. This plots-only version bypasses that limitation entirely, allowing you to view bar numbers anywhere on the chart, even thousands of bars back. How It Works: Displays each bar’s in-day sequence number (1–78 by default) under the candles. Counts restart automatically at the start of each trading day. Uses a dual-channel “digit plot” system (tens + ones) instead of labels—extremely light on performance and unlimited in lookback. The digits are drawn every N bars (default = 3) to keep the view uncluttered. Key Parameters: Show every Nth bar: Controls how often numbers appear (1 = every bar, 3 = every 3 bars, etc.). Notes: Digits are plotted directly via plotshape()—no labels—so they remain visible even 5 000 + bars back. Alignment may vary slightly depending on chart zoom; this version is intended mainly for deep historical review rather than precise near-term alignment.

Channels by TradingConTotoThis indicator plots clear and minimalistic High (H) and Low (L) pivot points only within the selected trading session (e.g., 10:00–12:00). During the active session, the background is shaded for easy visual reference, and pivot labels alternate automatically — meaning no consecutive H or L points appear in a row. This makes it simple to identify real swing changes within a specific session. ⚙️ Features Detects and labels pivots only during the chosen time range. Alternating logic prevents consecutive highs or lows (H → L → H → L). Clean session background highlight for visual clarity. Fully customizable parameters (session time, sensitivity, colors, etc.). Ideal for intraday traders, scalpers, and structure-based strategies. 💡 Suggested Use Perfect for traders who focus on specific market sessions (e.g., New York, London, or custom hours). The alternating pivot logic helps visualize market swings and structural shifts without visual clutter, making it an excellent companion for price action analysis.

Microgaps (plots-only, 4-channel, same-day only)Purpose: This indicator visually highlights 3-bar price gaps on your chart, showing clear visual structure for gap zones without lag or diagonal artifacts. It draws two outer lines (top and bottom of the gap) for every valid 3-bar gap, and optionally a midline when the gap is considered “large.” ⚙️ How it works A bull gap is detected when the current bar’s low is higher than the high from two bars ago (low > high ). A bear gap is detected when the current bar’s high is lower than the low from two bars ago (high < low ). The lines are centered at the middle bar of the 3-bar sequence. Gaps are only drawn within the same trading day to avoid false overnight gaps. To prevent overlapping artifacts, up to four concurrent gap channels can be drawn efficiently using GPU-friendly plot() lines. 🔵 Midline logic The midline (center of the gap) is only displayed when the gap’s vertical size is “large” relative to recent volatility. “Large” means the gap height is greater than a user-defined fraction of the average bar range over the past N bars. Example: if the average 8-bar range = 2 points, and the threshold = 0.3, then only gaps larger than 0.6 points will show the midline. 🧩 Parameters Setting Description Bull Gap Color / Width Style of bullish gaps (top and bottom lines). Bear Gap Color / Width Style of bearish gaps (top and bottom lines). Mid Gap Color / Width Style of the optional midline (shown only when “large”). Large Gap — Lookback (bars) Number of bars used to calculate the average range (default: 8). Large Gap — Size vs Avg Range Fraction of the average range that defines a “large” gap (default: 0.5). Set lower (e.g. 0.3) to show more midlines. 💡 Tips Set threshold lower (0.2–0.4) for more midlines, higher (0.6–1.0) to highlight only extreme gaps. Works best on intraday timeframes (1-min to 30-min). Fully GPU-efficient — can scroll back thousands of bars without lag.

Volume-Confirmed Reversal Engine [AlgoPoint]Volume-Confirmed Reversal Engine v2.0 Overview A price pattern alone is not enough to signal a high-probability reversal. True market turning points—moments of capitulation or euphoria—are almost always confirmed by a significant spike in volume. The Volume-Confirmed Reversal Engine is designed to identify these exact moments. It filters out low-conviction price movements and focuses only on reversal patterns that are backed by meaningful volume activity. How It Works The indicator's logic is based on a sequential confirmation process: - High-Volume Anchor Candle: The engine first scans for an "Anchor Candle"—a candle that makes a new high or low over a user-defined look_back period. Critically, this candle's volume must also be significantly higher than the recent average. Low-volume breakouts are ignored. - Setup Activation & Visualization: When a valid Anchor Candle is detected, the indicator enters a "setup" phase. It visually marks this on your chart by drawing a Setup Box around the high and low of the Anchor Candle, extending it forward for the duration of the confirm_in window. - Confirmation & Signal: A final signal is only triggered if the price breaks out of the opposite side of the Setup Box within the confirmation window. This action, combined with the initial volume spike, confirms the reversal. - Setup Box Visualization: See exactly which candle the indicator is watching and the key price levels (the box boundaries) that need to be broken for a signal. Signal Strength Score (1-4): Every signal now comes with a score, providing insight into its quality based on four factors: - The base price pattern is met. - The initial Anchor Candle had high volume. - The final Confirmation Candle also had high volume. - The signal is aligned with the long-term macro trend (e.g., a BUY signal above the 200 EMA). Status Dashboard: A simple panel on your chart tells you what the indicator is doing in real-time ("Scanning for Setups," "Watching Bullish Setup," etc.) and displays a countdown for how many bars are left for a confirmation. How to Interpret & Use - The Box: When a colored box appears, it's an early warning that a reversal setup is active. Watch the boundaries of the box for a potential breakout. - The Score: Use the score to gauge the quality of a signal. A 3/4 or 4/4 score represents a very high-conviction setup where multiple technical factors are aligned. - The Dashboard: Use the panel to understand the indicator's current state and the time-sensitivity of an active setup. - The BUY/SELL Labels: These are the final, actionable triggers, appearing only after the full price and volume confirmation process is complete.

Twisted Forex's Doji + Area StrategyTitle Twisted Forex’s Doji + Area Strategy Description What this strategy does This strategy looks for doji candles forming inside or near supply/demand areas . Areas are built from swing pivots and sized with ATR, then tracked for retests (“confirmations”). When a doji prints close to an area and quality checks pass, the strategy places a trade with the stop beyond the doji and a configurable R:R target. How areas (zones) are built • Swings are detected with a user-set pivot length. • Each swing spawns a horizontal area centered at the pivot price with half-height = zoneHalfATR × ATR . • Duplicates are de-duplicated by center distance (ATR-scaled). • Areas fade when broken beyond a buffer or after an optional age (expiry). • Retests are recorded when price touches and then bounces away from the area; repeated reactions increase the zone’s “strength”. Signal logic (summary) Doji detection: strict or loose body criteria with optional minimum wick fractions and ATR-scaled minimum range. Proximity: price must be inside/near a supply or demand area (proxATR × ATR). Side resolution: overlap is resolved by (a) which side price penetrates more, (b) fast/slow EMA trend, or (c) nearest distance. Optional “previous candle flip” can bias long after a bearish candle and short after a bullish one. Optional 1-bar confirmation: the bar after the doji must close away from the area by confirmATR × ATR . Quality filter (Off/Soft/Strict): four checks—(i) wick rejection past the edge, (ii) doji closes in an edge “band” of the area, (iii) fresh touch (cooldown), (iv) approach impulse over a short lookback. In Strict , thresholds auto-tighten. Orders & exits • Long: stop below doji low minus buffer; Short: above doji high plus buffer. • Target = rrMultiple × risk distance . • Pyramiding is off by default. Position sizing You can size from the script or from Strategy Properties: • Script-driven (default): set Position sizing = “Risk % of equity” and choose riskPercent (e.g., 1.0%). The script applies safe floors/rounding (FX micro-lots by default) so quantity never rounds to zero. • Properties-driven : toggle Use TV Properties → Order size ON, then pick “Percent of equity” in Properties (e.g., 1%). The header includes safe defaults so trades still place. Key inputs to explore • Zone building : pivotLen, zoneHalfATR, minDepartureATR, expiryBars, breakATR, leftBars, dedupeATR. • Doji & proximity : strictDoji, dojiBodyFrac, minWickFrac, minRangeATR, proxATR, minBarsBetween. • Overlap resolution : usePenetration, useTrend (EMA 21/55), “previous candle flip”, needNextBarConf & confirmATR. • Quality : qualityMode (Off/Soft/Strict), minQualPass/kStrict, wickPenATR, edgeBandFrac, approachLookback, approachMinATR, freshTouchBars. • Zone strength gating : minStrengthSoft / minStrengthStrict. • HTF confluence (optional) : useHTFTrend (HTF EMA 34/89) and/or useHTFZoneProx (HTF swing bands). Tips to make it cleaner / higher quality • Turn needNextBarConf ON and use confirmATR = 0.10–0.15 . • Increase approachMinATR (e.g., 0.35–0.45) to require a stronger pre-touch impulse. • Raise minStrengthSoft/Strict (e.g., 4–6) so only well-reacted zones can signal. • Use signalsOnlyConfirmed ON if you prefer trades only from zones with retests (the script falls back gracefully when none exist yet). • Nudge proxATR to 0.5–0.6 to demand tighter proximity to the level. • Optional: enable useHTFTrend to filter counter-trend setups. Default settings used in this publication • Initial capital: 100,000 (illustrative). • Slippage: 1 tick; Commission: 0% (you can raise commission if you prefer—spread is partly modeled by slippage). • Sizing: Risk % of equity via inputs; riskPercent = 1.0% ; FX uses micro-lot floors by default. • Quality: Off by default (Soft/Strict available). • HTF trend gate: Off by default. Backtesting notes For a meaningful sample size, test on liquid symbols/timeframes that yield 100+ trades (e.g., majors on 5–15m over 1–2 years). Backtests are modelled and broker costs/spread vary—validate on your feed and forward-test. How to read the chart Shaded bands are supply (above) and demand (below). Brighter bands are the nearest K per side (visual aid). BUY/SELL labels mark entries; colored dots show entry/SL/TP levels. You can hide zones or unconfirmed zones for a cleaner view.
