Candlestick toolkit (Candle Over Candle)Candlestick pattern toolkit focused on reading price action via candle anatomy, body dynamics, and a specific 2-bar continuation/reversal pattern. This indicator highlights: Long upper and lower wicks (“topping” and “bottoming” tails) that can signal exhaustion or potential reversal. Large bullish bodies relative to Average True Range (ATR), showing strong momentum. Sequences of large green candles. Runs of green candles with strictly increasing or strictly decreasing body size, to visualize acceleration vs. momentum fade. A two-candle pattern: “Candle over Candle” (CoC) for long bias: two bullish bars where the first has a small upper wick and the second has a modest lower wick (a brief dip then push higher). Optional mirrored “Candle under Candle” (CuC) for short bias. The script labels: Topping/Bottoming tails (TT/BT). Large-green sequences and increasing/decreasing bodies (N×LG, ↑B, ↓B). CoC/CuC pattern bars as “PRE” and the actual breakout bars as “GO”. While a pattern is “live,” a reference line marks the trigger level (pattern high for longs, pattern low for shorts). Inputs let you: Tune wick and body percentage thresholds for tail detection. Adjust ATR length and the multiplier that defines a “large” body. Change how many candles are required for large-green sequences and body size trends. Configure the two-candle pattern (maximum wick sizes, whether a small dip is required, confirmation within N bars). Choose confirmation mode: close-through the trigger or intrabar wick break. Enable or disable the short (CuC) side. Control visual features (tail markers, sequence markers, pattern labels, and background shading on pattern bars). Typical use: Apply on intraday or swing timeframes. Use tails and body behavior to read strength/weakness and potential exhaustion. Treat CoC/CuC PRE labels as pattern formation, and GO labels as potential trade triggers above/below the pattern. Combine with your own filters (trend, volume, higher-timeframe levels) rather than using it as a standalone signal generator.

ATR Risk Display - Multi FuturesWhat This Does I got tired of manually calculating my ATR stops and risk for different futures contracts, especially when switching between ES, NQ, and their micro versions. This indicator automatically detects what futures symbol you're trading and shows you the exact tick count and dollar risk for your stop loss. The Problem It Solves If you trade futures with ATR-based stops, you know the hassle: Different contracts have different tick values You need to calculate position risk in dollars Switching between symbols means redoing all the math Renko charts make it even more confusing since ATR needs to come from regular candles This handles all of that automatically. Key Features Auto-detects futures symbols - ES, NQ, YM, RTY, GC, CL, and all the micros (MES, MNQ, etc.) Shows everything you need in one line: ATR(timeframe) × multiplier = X ticks ($XXX) Works on Renko charts - pulls ATR from regular timeframe charts (super important if you use Renko) Adjustable position sizing - set your contract count and see total risk instantly Clean, minimal display - just the info you need, no clutter How to Use Add it to any futures chart Set your preferred ATR timeframe (I use 5-minute) Set your ATR multiplier (I use 1.5x for my stops) Set your contract size That's it - the indicator handles the rest The display will show something like: "ES ATR(5) × 1.5 = 12 ticks ($150)" Settings Explained ATR Timeframe: What timeframe to calculate ATR from (always uses regular candles, even on Renko) ATR Multiplier: How many ATRs for your stop (1.5 is common, 2.0 for wider stops) Number of Contracts: Your position size for risk calculation Auto-Detect Symbol: Leave on unless you want to manually override Supported Futures Full size: ES, NQ, YM, RTY, GC, CL, ZB, ZN, 6E, 6J Micros: MES, MNQ, MYM, M2K, MGC, MCL Notes Made this primarily for my own ES trading but figured others might find it useful The tick values are based on standard CME specs If you trade other futures, you can modify the code to add them Works great alongside level indicators for risk management Why This Exists I use ATR trailing stops on all my trades and got tired of doing mental math every time I switched between charts or contracts. Especially useful if you trade both full-size and micro contracts - the risk difference is huge and easy to mess up. Hope this helps your trading! Feel free to suggest improvements.

Target Reach & Trend ProjectionTarget Reach & Trend Projection Overview: The Target Reach & Trend Projection indicator helps traders estimate how long (in candles) it might take for the price to reach a chosen target level, while also providing insight into the current and higher-timeframe trend directions. Key Features 1. Target Projection: Set your custom Target Price manually. The indicator calculates the expected number of candles needed to reach that price, based on recent price velocity. Displays an estimated date and time for when the price could reach your target. 2. Trend Detection (Local): Detects the current market direction using one of two methods: Linear Trend: Measures direct slope between candles. Smoothed Trend: Uses a moving average slope for cleaner, less noisy trend estimation. 3. Higher-Timeframe Confirmation: Confirms whether the higher timeframe (e.g., 4H, 1D) trend agrees with the local trend. Displays “✅ Aligned” when both are in sync and “⚠️ Diverging” when not. 4. On-Chart Information: A dynamic label near the target price line shows: Target level Trend method used Estimated candles to target Current trend direction Estimated time of arrival (ETA) Higher-timeframe trend confirmation 5. Visual Feedback: Background color changes lightly to reflect trend direction (green for bullish, red for bearish). 6. Alerts: Optional alerts for when: The target price is reached. Both local and higher-timeframe trends align bullishly or bearishly. How It Works The script measures the average price velocity (slope) over a chosen lookback period. It then divides the distance between the current price and the target by that slope to estimate how many candles it might take to get there. It projects the estimated time of arrival based on your chart’s current timeframe. The script also checks a higher timeframe trend (using a moving average) for multi-timeframe confirmation. 🧭 Use Cases Estimating the time horizon for swing trades or targets. Confirming momentum direction before entering or exiting positions. Aligning intraday setups with higher-timeframe trends. ⚠️ Notes Estimates assume current trend velocity continues — it does not predict future volatility or reversals. Works best on time-based charts with clear directional movement (e.g., 1H, 4H, 1D).

Monthly, Weekly Open + Daily Pivot (Broken Lines, fixed)monthly open line weekly open and daily pivot This TradingView indicator plots three key reference levels on your chart: Monthly Open Line – shows the current month’s opening price. Weekly Open Line – shows the current week’s opening price. Daily Pivot Line – shows the pivot level based on the previous day’s high, low, and close. Each line resets at the start of its new period (month, week, or day), so the lines are broken, not continuous. You can fully customize visibility, color, and thickness for each line. It helps traders quickly see market bias and important support/resistance levels for better intraday or swing trading decisions.

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.

Average Dollar Volume by Mashrab Standard Mode: By default, it shows a 20-period SMA of the Dollar Volume. This is great for swing trading to see if money flow is increasing over days. Day Trading Mode: Go to the indicator settings (User Input) and check "Reset Average Daily". The line will now represent the Cumulative Average for today only. Example: If it's 10:00 AM, the line shows the average dollar volume per bar since the market opened at 9:30 AM. This helps you spot if the current 5-minute bar is truly igniting compared to the rest of the morning. How to Use for Day Trading Add the script to your 1-minute chart. Ensure "Reset Average Daily" is checked in the settings (I made it default to true for you). Look at the Table in the top right: Avg Dollar Vol: This tells you the average money flowing into the stock per minute today. 1% Threshold: This gives you the exact number your friend likely uses to gauge "minimum viable liquidity" or specific risk calculations.

XenoSmooth Predictive Candles - Advanced Heikin Ashi CandlesXenoSmooth Predictive Candles Summary in one paragraph A synthetic candle engine for crypto, FX, equities, and futures on intraday to swing timeframes. It reduces noise and flip delay so structure is easier to read. The core novelty is a predictive open with inertia plus slope lead fused with a zero lag body filter and an overshoot based wick model normalized by the real range and capped by ATR. Add it to a clean chart, hide regular candles if desired, and tune lengths. Shapes can move while the bar is open and settle on close. For conservative workflows read on bar close. Scope and intent • Markets. Major FX pairs, index futures, large cap equities, liquid crypto • Timeframes. One minute to daily • Purpose. Faster and smoother visual structure than Heikin Ashi while keeping causality and realistic wicks Originality and usefulness • Unique concept. Predictive open with inertia and slope lead plus selectable zero lag body filter and ATR capped wick overshoot in percent of real range • Failure mode addressed. Late flips in chop and unreal long wicks from raw extremes • Testability. Every control is an input. Users can toggle body method, lengths, clipping, and percent modeling • Portable yardstick. ATR based wick cap and percent of bar range scale across symbols Method overview in plain language Build a robust base price from O, H, L, and extra weight on Close. Smooth it with a chosen filter to produce the synthetic close. Drive a predictive open that follows the synthetic close with tunable inertia and a small lead from the last bar slope. Model wicks as the portion of the real extremes that extends beyond the synthetic body, smooth that overshoot, normalize by the bar range if selected, then cap by ATR to avoid tail spikes. Clamp synthetic values to the real high and low if enabled. Base measures • Range basis. True Range for the ATR cap and High minus Low for percent normalization • Return basis. Not used Components • Body Base Blend. Weighted O H L with a close bias to stabilize the base • Zero Lag Body Filter. ZLEMA or Super Smoother or WMA to set the synthetic close • Predictive Open. Inertial follow of the synthetic close plus a slope lead term • Wick Overshoot Model. Smoothed extension beyond the body, optional percent of real range, ATR cap • Clamp Option. Keeps synthetic open and close inside the real bar range Fusion rule • Synthetic close equals filtered base • Synthetic open equals previous open plus inertia times distance to synthetic close plus slope lead • Wicks equal smoothed overshoot above and below the body, optionally percent of range then converted back to price and capped by ATR Inputs with guidance Setup • Signal timeframe. Uses the chart timeframe • Invert direction. Not applicable • Session windows. Not applicable Logic • Body length. Core smoothing length for the synthetic close. Typical 6 to 14. Higher gives smoother and slower. Lower gives faster flips • Body method. ZLEMA or Super Smoother or WMA. ZLEMA is fastest. Super Smoother is calmest • Close weight in base. 0 to 1. Higher gives stronger emphasis on close and less noise • Open inertia. 0 to 1. Higher makes the open follow the close more tightly • Lead gain. 0 to 1. Higher adds more phase lead. Keep modest to avoid overshoot • Clamp body to real range. On keeps synthetic body inside high and low • Wick smooth length. Typical 4 to 10. Higher reduces jitter • Overshoot as percent. On stabilizes wicks across regimes • ATR length. Typical 10 to 20 for the cap • Max wick equals ATR times. 0 disables. 1.0 to 2.0 contains extreme tails Filters • Efficiency or trend filter. Not used • Micro versus macro range relation. Not used • Location filter. Not used Realism and responsible publication • No performance claims • Intrabar motion reminder. Shapes can move while a bar forms and settle on close • Strategies must use standard candles for signals and orders Honest limitations and failure modes • High impact releases and thin liquidity can distort wicks and produce gaps that any smoother cannot predict • Very quiet regimes can reduce contrast. Consider longer body length • Session time on the chart controls the definition of each bar

Major exchages total Open interest & Long/Short OI trends📊 Indicator: Major Exchanges Total OI & Long/Short Trends This Pine Script™ indicator is designed to provide a comprehensive analysis of Open Interest (OI) and Long/Short position trends across major cryptocurrency exchanges (Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, HTX, Deribit). It serves as a powerful tool for traders seeking to understand market liquidity, participant positioning, and overall market sentiment. 🔑 Key Features and Functionalities Aggregated Multi-Exchange Open Interest (OI): Consolidates real-time Open Interest data from user-selected major cryptocurrency exchanges. Provides a unified view of the total OI, offering insights into the collective market liquidity and the aggregate size of participants' open positions. Visualized Combined OI Candles: Presents the aggregated total OI data in a candlestick chart format. Displays the Open, High, Low, and Close of the combined OI, with color variations indicating increases or decreases from the previous period. This enables intuitive visualization of OI trend shifts. Estimated Long/Short OI and Visualization: Calculates and visualizes estimated Long and Short position Open Interest based on the total aggregated OI data. Estimation Logic: Employs a sophisticated logic that considers both price changes and OI fluctuations to infer the balance between Long and Short positions. For instance, an increase in both price and OI may suggest an accumulation of Long positions, while a price decrease coupled with an OI increase might indicate growing Short positions. Initial 50:50 Ratio: The estimation for Long/Short OI begins with an assumption of a 50:50 ratio at the initial data point available for the selected timeframe. This establishes a neutral baseline, from which subsequent price and OI changes drive the divergence and evolution of the estimated Long/Short balance. Flexible Visualization Options: Allows users to display Long/Short OI data in either line or candlestick styles, with customizable color schemes. This flexibility aids in clearly discerning bullish or bearish positioning trends. 💡 Development Background The development of this indicator stems from the critical importance of Open Interest data in the cryptocurrency derivatives market. Recognizing the limitations of analyzing individual exchange OI in isolation, the primary objective was to integrate data from leading exchanges to offer a holistic perspective on market sentiment and overall positioning dynamics. The inclusion of the Long/Short position estimation feature is crucial for deciphering the specific directional biases of market participants, which is often not evident from raw OI data alone. This enables a deeper understanding of how positions are being accumulated or liquidated, moving beyond simple OI change analysis. Furthermore, a key design consideration was to leverage the characteristic where the indicator's data start point dynamically adjusts with the chart's timeframe selection. This allows for the analysis of short-term Long/Short trends on shorter timeframes and long-term trends on longer timeframes. This inherent flexibility empowers traders to conduct analyses across various time scales, aligning with their diverse trading strategies. 🚀 Trading Applications Leveraging Combined Open Interest (OI): Trend Confirmation: A sustained increase in total OI signifies growing market interest and capital inflow, potentially confirming the strength of an existing trend. Conversely, decreasing OI may suggest diminishing participant interest or widespread position liquidation. Validation of Price Extremes: If price forms a new high but OI fails to increase or declines, it could signal a potential trend reversal (divergence). Conversely, a sharp increase in OI during a price decline might indicate a surge in short positions or renewed selling pressure. Identifying Volatility Triggers: Monitoring rapid shifts in OI during significant news events or market catalysts can help assess immediate market reactions and liquidity changes. 📈Utilizing Long/Short OI Trends Assessing Market Bias: A sustained dominance or rapid increase in Long OI suggests a prevalent bullish sentiment, which could inform decisions to enter or maintain long positions. The inverse scenario indicates bearish sentiment and potential short entry opportunities. Anticipating Squeezes: The indicator can help identify scenarios conducive to short or long squeezes. Excessive short positioning followed by a price uptick can trigger a short squeeze, leading to rapid price appreciation. Conversely, an oversupply of long positions preceding a price drop can result in a long squeeze and sharp declines. Divergence Analysis: Divergences between price action and Long/Short OI estimates can signal potential trend reversals. For example, if price is rising but the increase in Long OI slows down or Short OI begins to grow, it may suggest weakening buying pressure. 🕔Timeframe-Specific Trend Analysis: Shorter Timeframes (e.g., 1m, 5m, 15m): Ideal for identifying short-term shifts in participant positioning, beneficial for day trading and scalping strategies. Provides insights into immediate market reactions to price movements. Longer Timeframes (e.g., 1h, 4h, Daily): Valuable for evaluating broader positioning trends and the sustainability or potential reversal of medium-to-long-term trends. Offers a macro perspective on Long/Short dynamics, suitable for swing trading or long-term investment strategies. This indicator integrates complex market data, provides nuanced Long/Short position estimations, and offers multi-timeframe analytical capabilities, empowering traders to make more informed and strategic decisions.
