Candlestick Trailing AllocationA simple indicator that calculates the sum of 'Up'(green), 'Down'(red), and 'Doji'(near Doji) candlesticks and portrays the same in an allocation format in percentage. And since it is allocation-based, the total will never exceed 100% of the defined Length period.
The equation is Green + Red + Doji = Total Candles; where total candles = length
When calculating the allocation part, the doji candles are subtracted from the sum of green and red, and the new value is divided by the length period.
For example, the green line = (sum of all green candles - doji / 2) / length; the reason to divide doji by 2 is to eliminate the redundancy it can cause.
When the green line crosses above the red line, the number of green candles is more than red in the defined length period. Similarly, when the red line crossed above the green, there were more red candles than green in that period.
The Doji line shows if any doji or near doji candles have appeared. It acts as a form of resistance against the green and red candles.
There's also the option to change the value of the doji's weight. Default is at 0.1.
The indicator does not show trend nor momentum, even though it may replicate some of its behavior from time to time. It is purely showing the allocation of the number of candles classified as green, red, and doji within the length provided.
Strategy: Candlestick Wick Analysis with Volume Conditions
This strategy focuses on analyzing the wicks (or shadows) of candlesticks to identify potential trading opportunities based on candlestick structure and volume. Based on these criteria, it places stop orders at the extremities of the wicks when certain conditions are met, thus increasing the chances of capturing significant price movements.
Trading Criteria
Volume Conditions:
The strategy checks if the volume of the current candle is higher than that of the previous three candles. This ensures that the observed price movement is supported by significant volume, increasing the probability that the price will continue in the same direction.
Wick Analysis:
Upper Wick:
If the upper wick of a candle represents more than 90% of its body size and is longer than the lower wick, this indicates that the price tested a resistance level before pulling back.
Order Placement: In this case, a Buy Stop order is placed at the upper extremity of the wick. This means that if the price rises back to this level, the order will be triggered, and the trader will take a buy position.
SL Management: A stop-loss is then placed below the lowest point of the same candle. This protects the trader by limiting losses if the price falls back after the order is triggered.
Lower Wick:
If the lower wick of a candle is longer than the upper wick and represents more than 90% of its body size, this indicates that the price tested a support level before rising.
Order Placement: In this case, a Sell Stop order is placed at the lower extremity of the wick. Thus, if the price drops back to this level, the order will be triggered, and the trader will take a sell position.
SL Management: A stop-loss is then placed above the highest point of the same candle. This ensures risk management by limiting losses if the price rebounds upward after the order is triggered.
Strategy Advantages
Responsiveness to Price Movements: The strategy is designed to detect significant price movements based on the market's reaction around support and resistance levels. By placing stop orders directly at the wick extremities, it allows capturing strong movements in the direction indicated by the candles.
Securing Positions: Using stop-losses positioned just above or below key levels (wicks) provides better risk management. If the market doesn't move as expected, the position is automatically closed with a limited loss.
Clear Visual Indicators: Symbols are displayed on the chart at the points where orders have been placed, making it easier to understand trading decisions. This helps to quickly identify the support or resistance levels tested by the price, as well as potential entry points.
Conclusion
The strategy is based on the idea that large wicks signal areas where buyers or sellers have tested significant price levels before temporarily retreating. By placing stop orders at the extremities of these wicks, the strategy allows capturing price movements when they confirm, while limiting risks through strategically placed stop-losses. It thus offers a balanced approach between capturing potential profit and managing risk.
This description emphasizes the idea of capturing significant market movements with stop orders while providing a clear explanation of the logic and risk management. It’s tailored for publication on TradingView and highlights the robustness of the strategy.
Advanced Candlestick Patterns [vitruvius]This is a very advanced indicator that detects most commonly used candlestick patterns. Please read this document carefully to understand how it works.
It is tailored to identify patterns that only have a great possibility of signaling a price movement. In other words, it can and will ignore some patterns, even though they satisfy the recognition conditions defined in the books. Candlestick patterns should also satisfy some other conditions in this indicator to be valid and you can modify those conditions.
This indicator is not only about identifying the candlestick patterns. By using the different choices, you can:
Avoid fake signals
Confirm patterns
Increase your possibility to win a trade
Reduce risk
Identify bullish/bearish movements better
Recommended Use
This indicator works best when you:
Use it in the daily time frame
Combine it with Support/Resistance areas
Note: For some candlestick patterns, you have the option of confirming the pattern with the next price action. In those cases, there will be obviously one bar delay (because it will wait for one more bar to close to confirm the pattern). However, it will mark the candlestick where it identifies the pattern and it will have ”Confirmed” in its text.
Important Note
This indicator does some serious calculations and checks for a lot of user inputs. Therefore, it might be a little slow. Please give it some time when it needs to do some computing.
MODULES
Trend Detection
Most of the patterns in this script are trend reversal patterns. So, recognition of the candlestick patterns depends heavily on the trend. In fact, even if you do not select a trend detection method, it will use the SMA method as default where it needs a certain trend in identifying a specific pattern.
It is possible to combine multiple trend detection methods. You can see how this affects the overall trend detection by enabling the background coloring.
Note: There might be some cases where a candle has a bullish/bearish confirmation of the same candlestick pattern . In those cases, the script is unable to identify the move and the user should decide if the identified pattern is bullish or bearish.
Below are the inputs of this module:
Color the background according to the trend?
If you select a trend detection method, it will color the background green for an uptrend and red for a downtrend .
Counter the trend when there is no obvious trend?
If you select multiple trend detection methods, there might be some cases where one of the methods indicates an uptrend and the other one indicates a downtrend . In that case, the script will continue with the previous trend (whatever the trend is one bar ago) by default . You can, however, reverse the trend in those cases by using this option. If you choose to reverse, you might catch the trend early .
Use MACD to detect the trend?
Use MACD to detect the trend. Whenever MACD delta is greater or equal to zero, it is an uptrend .
MACD Fast Length
Fast length of MACD.
MACD Slow Length
Slow length of MACD.
MACD Signal Smoothing
Signal smoothing value of MACD. Please note that it is set to 6 by default.
Use SMA to detect the trend?
Use SMA to detect the trend. If the price closes above the SMA line, it is an uptrend
SMA Length
Length of SMA.
Use the average price of previous candles to detect the trend?
If the average of open and close prices constantly go up for n bars that are determined by the next user input, it is an uptrend .
Number of candles to analyze
The number of bars ( n ) to analyze for the average price method.
Use the closing price of the previous candle to detect the trend?
If the difference between the current close and nth previous bar’s close is greater than the given threshold, it is an uptrend .
Position of the previous candle to analyze
Position of the bar (backward) to compare with the current close price.
Threshold for the closing price
The threshold value for closing price method.
Basic Candlestick Patterns
This module detects Doji, Spinning Top, Marubozu candlestick patterns. Also, you can set some specific options that are going to be used in all candlestick patterns.
Note: If you choose to manually enter the body height of a doji , you need to find the optimal value for different timeframes. Different timeframes have difference price action ranges.
Below are the inputs of this module:
Tolerate opening/closing price of the candle?
When a candlestick pattern needs to have a gap between two candles, you can tolerate the opening/closing prices of the one candle. This option is useful where the opening and closing prices are very close. This option is going to be used in all candlestick patterns.
Factor for tolerating opening/closing price
The more the factor is, the more the tolerance is.
Body/Height ratio for a candle to be considered as Bullish/Bearish
A bullish/bearish candle shouldn’t have too much shadow. You can use this option to determine the shadow length of a bullish/bearish bar. This option is going to be used in all candlestick patterns

THD Candlestick PatternsThe THD Candlestick Patterns identify the most important candlestick patters for trading support and resistance.
Candlestick Structure [LuxAlgo]The Candlestick Structure indicator detects major market trends and displays various candlestick patterns aligning with the detected trend, filtering out potentially unwanted patterns as a result. Multiple trend detection methods are included and can be selected by the users.
A dashboard showing the alignment percentage of each individual pattern is also provided.
🔶 USAGE
By distinguishing major and minor trend detection, we can still detect patterns based on minor trends, yet filter out the patterns that do not align with the major trend.
By detecting candlestick patterns that align with a major trend, we can effectively detect the ending points of retracements, potentially providing various entry points of interest within a trend.
Users are able to track the alignment of each candlestick pattern in the dashboard to reveal which patterns typically align with the trend and which may not.
Note: Alignment % only checks if the pattern's direction is the same as the current trend direction. These are only raw readings and not any type of confidence score.
🔶 DETAILS
In this indicator, we are identifying and tracking 16 different Candlestick Patterns.
🔹 Bullish Patterns
Hammer: Identified by a small upper wick (or no upper wick) with a small body, and an elongated lower wick whose length is 2X greater than the candle body’s width.
Inverted Hammer: Identified by a small lower wick (or no lower wick) with a small body, and an elongated upper wick whose length is 2X greater than the candle body’s width.
Bullish Engulfing: A 2 bar pattern identified by a large bullish candle body fully encapsulating (opening lower and closing higher) the previous small (bearish) candle body.
Rising 3: A 5 bar pattern identified by an initial full-bodied bullish candle, followed by 3 bearish candles that trade within the high and low of the initial candle, followed by another full-bodied bullish candle closing above the high of the initial candle.

GKD-C Blau Candlestick Momentum Indicator [Loxx]Giga Kaleidoscope GKD-C Blau Candlestick Momentum Indicator is a Confirmation module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System".
█ Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System
What is Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System"?
The Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System is a trading system built on the philosophy of the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) algorithmic trading.
What is the NNFX algorithmic trading strategy?
The NNFX (No-Nonsense Forex) trading system is a comprehensive approach to Forex trading that is designed to simplify the process and remove the confusion and complexity that often surrounds trading. The system was developed by a Forex trader who goes by the pseudonym "VP" and has gained a significant following in the Forex community.
The NNFX trading system is based on a set of rules and guidelines that help traders make objective and informed decisions. These rules cover all aspects of trading, including market analysis, trade entry, stop loss placement, and trade management.
Here are the main components of the NNFX trading system:
1. Trading Philosophy: The NNFX trading system is based on the idea that successful trading requires a comprehensive understanding of the market, objective analysis, and strict risk management. The system aims to remove subjective elements from trading and focuses on objective rules and guidelines.
2. Technical Analysis: The NNFX trading system relies heavily on technical analysis and uses a range of indicators to identify high-probability trading opportunities. The system uses a combination of trend-following and mean-reverting strategies to identify trades.
3. Market Structure: The NNFX trading system emphasizes the importance of understanding the market structure, including price action, support and resistance levels, and market cycles. The system uses a range of tools to identify the market structure, including trend lines, channels, and moving averages.
4. Trade Entry: The NNFX trading system has strict rules for trade entry. The system uses a combination of technical indicators to identify high-probability trades, and traders must meet specific criteria to enter a trade.
5. Stop Loss Placement: The NNFX trading system places a significant emphasis on risk management and requires traders to place a stop loss order on every trade. The system uses a combination of technical analysis and market structure to determine the appropriate stop loss level.
6. Trade Management: The NNFX trading system has specific rules for managing open trades. The system aims to minimize risk and maximize profit by using a combination of trailing stops, take profit levels, and position sizing.
Overall, the NNFX trading system is designed to be a straightforward and easy-to-follow approach to Forex trading that can be applied by traders of all skill levels.
Core components of an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy
The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
5. Continuation - a technical indicator used to identify trends
6. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown
7. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted
What is Volatility in the NNFX trading system?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, ATR (Average True Range) is typically used to measure the volatility of an asset. It is used as a part of the system to help determine the appropriate stop loss and take profit levels for a trade. ATR is calculated by taking the average of the true range values over a specified period.
True range is calculated as the maximum of the following values:
-Current high minus the current low
-Absolute value of the current high minus the previous close
-Absolute value of the current low minus the previous close
ATR is a dynamic indicator that changes with changes in volatility. As volatility increases, the value of ATR increases, and as volatility decreases, the value of ATR decreases. By using ATR in NNFX system, traders can adjust their stop loss and take profit levels according to the volatility of the asset being traded. This helps to ensure that the trade is given enough room to move, while also minimizing potential losses.
Other types of volatility include True Range Double (TRD), Close-to-Close, and Garman-Klass
What is a Baseline indicator?
The baseline is essentially a moving average, and is used to determine the overall direction of the market.
The baseline in the NNFX system is used to filter out trades that are not in line with the long-term trend of the market. The baseline is plotted on the chart along with other indicators, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR).
Trades are only taken when the price is in the same direction as the baseline. For example, if the baseline is sloping upwards, only long trades are taken, and if the baseline is sloping downwards, only short trades are taken. This approach helps to ensure that trades are in line with the overall trend of the market, and reduces the risk of entering trades that are likely to fail.
By using a baseline in the NNFX system, traders can have a clear reference point for determining the overall trend of the market, and can make more informed trading decisions. The baseline helps to filter out noise and false signals, and ensures that trades are taken in the direction of the long-term trend.
What is a Confirmation indicator?
Confirmation indicators are technical indicators that are used to confirm the signals generated by primary indicators. Primary indicators are the core indicators used in the NNFX system, such as the Average True Range (ATR), the Moving Average (MA), and the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
The purpose of the confirmation indicators is to reduce false signals and improve the accuracy of the trading system. They are designed to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators by providing additional information about the strength and direction of the trend.
Some examples of confirmation indicators that may be used in the NNFX system include the Bollinger Bands, the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and the MACD Oscillator. These indicators can provide information about the volatility, momentum, and trend strength of the market, and can be used to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators.
In the NNFX system, confirmation indicators are used in combination with primary indicators and other filters to create a trading system that is robust and reliable. By using multiple indicators to confirm trading signals, the system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of the trades.
What is a Continuation indicator?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, a continuation indicator is a technical indicator that is used to confirm a current trend and predict that the trend is likely to continue in the same direction. A continuation indicator is typically used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as a baseline indicator, to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
What is a Volatility/Volume indicator?
Volume indicators, such as the On Balance Volume (OBV), the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), or the Volume Price Trend (VPT), are used to measure the amount of buying and selling activity in a market. They are based on the trading volume of the market, and can provide information about the strength of the trend. In the NNFX system, volume indicators are used to confirm trading signals generated by the Moving Average and the Relative Strength Index. Volatility indicators include Average Direction Index, Waddah Attar, and Volatility Ratio. In the NNFX trading system, volatility is a proxy for volume and vice versa.
By using volume indicators as confirmation tools, the NNFX trading system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of trades. These indicators can provide additional information about the market that is not captured by the primary indicators, and can help traders to make more informed trading decisions. In addition, volume indicators can be used to identify potential changes in market trends and to confirm the strength of price movements.
What is an Exit indicator?
The exit indicator is used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR), to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
The exit indicator in the NNFX system can be any technical indicator that is deemed effective at identifying optimal exit points. Examples of exit indicators that are commonly used include the Parabolic SAR, the Average Directional Index (ADX), and the Chandelier Exit.
The purpose of the exit indicator is to identify when a trend is likely to reverse or when the market conditions have changed, signaling the need to exit a trade. By using an exit indicator, traders can manage their risk and prevent significant losses.
In the NNFX system, the exit indicator is used in conjunction with a stop loss and a take profit order to maximize profits and minimize losses. The stop loss order is used to limit the amount of loss that can be incurred if the trade goes against the trader, while the take profit order is used to lock in profits when the trade is moving in the trader's favor.
Overall, the use of an exit indicator in the NNFX trading system is an important component of a comprehensive trading strategy. It allows traders to manage their risk effectively and improve the profitability of their trades by exiting at the right time.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v1.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data between modules. Data is passed between each module as described below:
GKD-B => GKD-V => GKD-C(1) => GKD-C(2) => GKD-C(Continuation) => GKD-E => GKD-BT
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Strategy with 1-3 take profits, trailing stop loss, multiple types of PnL volatility, and 2 backtesting styles
Baseline: Hull Moving Average
Volatility/Volume: Hurst Exponent
Confirmation 1: Blau Candlestick Momentum Indicator as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 2: Williams Percent Range
Continuation: Fisher Transform
Exit: Rex Oscillator
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD protocol chain.

Bullflag Candlestick pattern
A bull flag is essentially a small consolidation near the top of an upthrust. If we picture it as a candlestick pattern, it should have a big green candlestick + a small body red/green candle near the top of the top big green candle.
This script essentially help you identify these.
Candlestick Patterns by Dipak V2I am really excited to publish my work, I know its at the beginning but there is a lot to come in the future. I am writing a script to identify the candlestick patterns. In this version, I have added Hammer and Hanging Man Pattern in the first version, I know its less but its a beginning, I will keep adding the new information in my script in upcoming versions.
This script is for only learning purpose and not for treading realtime. In this script, it only identifies the pattern and does not check for its confirmation or does not provide any stop-loss, Also it does not check the prior trend before the pattern. These things really matter in the live trade. But in future, I am planning to add these things.
If you like my work, please like or comment your ideas I will try to include those in upcoming versions.
Hanging Man:
Hanging man is a bearish reversal candlestick pattern that signals about the uptrend or advancing phase are over and bulls have lost their control. Color of the candle is not important.
Identity:
1) Comes after a significant up rally or uptrend or advancing phase.
2) Small real body at the top.
3) Long lower shadow at least twice the real body.
4) Very small or no upper shadow.
Confirmation:
Immediate next candle’s close should be below the hanging man’s real body.
StopLoss:
There is a potential resistance level above the top of the hanging man. Stoploss should be above the resistance area or at the high of the hanging man.
Hammer:
Hammer is a bullish reversal candlestick pattern that signals about the downtrend or declining phase are over and bears have lost their control. Color of the candle is not important.
Identity:
1) Comes after significant down rally or downtrend or declining phase.
2) Small real body at the top.
3) Long lower shadow at least twice the real body.
4) Very small or no upper shadow.
Confirmation:
Immediate next candle’s close should be above the hammer’s low.
StopLoss:
There is a potential support level below the low of the hammer. Stoploss should be below the support area or at the low of the hammer.
Note: The candle is the same for Hanging Man and Hammer , Difference is where they appear in the uptrend or in the downtrend that makes the real difference.
Market State & Candlestick Patterns Made in ChinaIndicator Overview
The Market State & Candlestick Patterns Master (MSCP-Master) is a comprehensive, all-in-one technical analysis indicator that combines real-time market state identification with multiple candlestick pattern recognition. This powerful tool not only identifies classic price action patterns but also adapts their significance based on the current market volatility environment, providing context-aware trading signals for smarter decision-making.
Core Innovation: Adaptive Pattern Recognition
Traditional candlestick pattern indicators work in isolation, often giving false signals in the wrong market conditions. MSCP-Master revolutionizes this approach by:
First assessing market state (Low Volatility/Ranging/High Volatility) through a multi-dimensional scoring system
Then applying different confirmation criteria for each pattern based on the detected market state
Finally providing context-aware signals that are more reliable because they consider the broader market environment
Three-Layer Analysis System
Layer 1: Market State Identification (The Foundation)
Uses four key metrics to calculate a comprehensive market state score:
ATR Relative Volatility: Measures current volatility against historical norms
Bollinger Band Width: Identifies contraction/expansion periods
Amplitude Analysis: Evaluates recent price range activity
Momentum Strength: Assesses directional movement power
Based on the composite score, the market is classified into:
🔵 Low Volatility: Tight ranges, potential for breakout
🟡 Ranging: Normal oscillation within established bounds
🟢 High Volatility: Wide ranges, strong momentum moves
Layer 2: Pattern Recognition With Context Adaptation
Each pattern uses different confirmation logic based on market state:
High Volatility State: Uses SMA-based trend confirmation (Long/Short SMA comparison)
Low Volatility/Ranging States: Uses ATR-adjusted threshold confirmation (dynamic based on current vs. baseline volatility)
This adaptive approach means patterns are only considered valid when they make sense for the current market environment.
Layer 3: Comprehensive Pattern Library
The indicator identifies 10+ critical candlestick patterns:
Engulfing Patterns (Bullish/Bearish) with Harami confirmation requirement
Outside Bars (Bullish/Bearish) with customizable engulfing criteria
False Breakouts (Bullish/Bearish) with sophisticated tracking of "trap" moves
Hammer/Inverted Hammer with ATR-adjusted significance thresholds
Doji Variations (Standard, Dragonfly, Gravestone) with precise mathematical definitions
Three Soldiers Method (Enhanced) with dual absolute/relative strength measurements
Enhanced Three Soldiers Method - Beyond Traditional Interpretation
Unlike traditional "Three White Soldiers/Black Crows" patterns that rely on simple visual recognition, our enhanced version introduces:
Quantifiable Strength Metrics: Each candle must meet customizable thresholds for both absolute price movement (%) and relative efficiency (close-to-open vs. total range)
Two Signal Types: Preparation signals (amber) for early warnings and True signals (green/red) for confirmed breakouts
Breakout Confirmation: "True signals" only trigger when price breaks above/below recent signal cluster extremes
Full Customization: All parameters adjustable to match your trading style and market conditions
Key Features
🎯 Context-Aware Signals: Patterns are validated differently in high vs. low volatility markets
📊 Real-Time Market State: Clear color-coded background shows current market conditions
🔍 Multiple Confirmation Methods: Uses both SMA trend-following and ATR-adjusted threshold approaches
⚙️ Fully Customizable: Every parameter adjustable across all pattern types and market state calculations
📈 Comprehensive Visualization: Color-coded labels, reference lines, and information tables
Strategic Application
Preparation Signals: Use amber "single candle" or "three candle" signals to prepare for potential moves
True Signals: Green/red "True" signals indicate confirmed momentum - ideal for main entries
Market State Alignment: Trade with the market's character - aggressive in high volatility, cautious in low volatility
Pattern Convergence: Look for multiple patterns confirming the same direction for higher probability setups
Parameter Groups (Organized for Easy Customization)
Market State Identification: ATR, Bollinger Band, Amplitude, Momentum parameters
Pattern-Specific Settings: Engulfing, Outside Bars, False Breakouts, Hammer/Doji patterns
Three Soldiers Method: Absolute/Relative strength thresholds, lookback periods
Confirmation Logic: SMA lengths, ATR adjustment factors, sensitivity settings
Candlestick Strength and Volatility ReadoutDisplays a readout on the top right corner of the screen displaying a two basic calculations (volatility and strength; i.e. candlestick size and how close to the highs or lows it closed) for more convenient candlestick (price action) analysis.
Due to restrictions with Pine Script (or my knowledge thereof) only the current and previous candlestick data is shown, rather than the one currently hovered over.
The data is derived via two simple calculations; volatility being division between the range of the candlestick's high and low by the ATR; 'strength' (what I like to call it) being the range of the body by the range of the open to high or low, depending on the facing direction (positive or negative candlestick). These are expressed as percentages and will turn green depending on the set threshold.
Using this, one can effectively automate calculations you'd have to do by hand otherwise. I personally use these as entry filters in my trading, so it helps to not have to measure, remeasure, and divide before each potential entry.
Settings are implemented to change certain variables to your liking.
Candlestick Reversal SignalsTitle: Candlestick Reversal Signals
This Pine Script indicator is designed to identify and plot signals for two key candlestick reversal patterns: Bullish and Bearish Engulfing patterns, as well as Bullish and Bearish Harami patterns. These patterns are widely recognized for their ability to indicate potential trend reversals in the market, providing traders with valuable insights for making informed trading decisions.
Features:
• Bullish Engulfing Pattern:
• Conditions: This pattern is identified when the current candle’s close is higher than the previous candle’s open, and the current candle’s open is lower than the previous candle’s close. Additionally, the current candle’s close must be higher than the previous candle’s close, and the current candle’s open must be lower than the previous candle’s open.
• Signal: When a Bullish Engulfing pattern is detected, a green label is plotted below the relevant bar, indicating a potential upward reversal.
• Bearish Engulfing Pattern:
• Conditions: This pattern is identified when the current candle’s close is lower than the previous candle’s open, and the current candle’s open is higher than the previous candle’s close. Additionally, the current candle’s close must be lower than the previous candle’s close, and the current candle’s open must be higher than the previous candle’s open.
• Signal: When a Bearish Engulfing pattern is detected, a red label is plotted above the relevant bar, indicating a potential downward reversal.
• Bullish Harami Pattern:
• Conditions: This pattern is identified when the previous candle is a bearish candle (open higher than close), and the current candle is a bullish candle (close higher than open) that is contained within the body of the previous bearish candle.
• Signal: When a Bullish Harami pattern is detected, a green label is plotted below the relevant bar, indicating a potential upward reversal.
• Bearish Harami Pattern:
• Conditions: This pattern is identified when the previous candle is a bullish candle (open lower than close), and the current candle is a bearish candle (close lower than open) that is contained within the body of the previous bullish candle.
• Signal: When a Bearish Harami pattern is detected, a red label is plotted above the relevant bar, indicating a potential downward reversal.
Usage:
To use this script, simply add it to your TradingView chart. The script will automatically highlight the Bullish and Bearish Engulfing patterns, as well as Bullish and Bearish Harami patterns, by plotting green and red labels on the chart. These visual signals make it easy to spot potential reversal points, helping traders to identify and capitalize on trading opportunities.
Example:
• When you see a green “Bullish Engulfing” label below a candlestick, it suggests that the market might reverse upwards, signaling a potential buy opportunity.
• Conversely, a red “Bearish Engulfing” label above a candlestick suggests a potential downward reversal, signaling a potential sell opportunity.
• A green “Bullish Harami” label below a candlestick also indicates a potential upward reversal.
• A red “Bearish Harami” label above a candlestick indicates a potential downward reversal.
This indicator is a valuable addition to any trader’s technical analysis toolkit, providing clear and actionable signals based on well-established candlestick patterns. By incorporating these reversal patterns into your analysis, you can enhance your trading strategy and improve your decision-making process.
GKD-C Blau Ergodic Candlestick Index [Loxx]Giga Kaleidoscope GKD-C Blau Ergodic Candlestick Index is a Confirmation module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System".
█ Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System
What is Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System"?
The Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System is a trading system built on the philosophy of the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) algorithmic trading.
What is the NNFX algorithmic trading strategy?
The NNFX (No-Nonsense Forex) trading system is a comprehensive approach to Forex trading that is designed to simplify the process and remove the confusion and complexity that often surrounds trading. The system was developed by a Forex trader who goes by the pseudonym "VP" and has gained a significant following in the Forex community.
The NNFX trading system is based on a set of rules and guidelines that help traders make objective and informed decisions. These rules cover all aspects of trading, including market analysis, trade entry, stop loss placement, and trade management.
Here are the main components of the NNFX trading system:
1. Trading Philosophy: The NNFX trading system is based on the idea that successful trading requires a comprehensive understanding of the market, objective analysis, and strict risk management. The system aims to remove subjective elements from trading and focuses on objective rules and guidelines.
2. Technical Analysis: The NNFX trading system relies heavily on technical analysis and uses a range of indicators to identify high-probability trading opportunities. The system uses a combination of trend-following and mean-reverting strategies to identify trades.
3. Market Structure: The NNFX trading system emphasizes the importance of understanding the market structure, including price action, support and resistance levels, and market cycles. The system uses a range of tools to identify the market structure, including trend lines, channels, and moving averages.
4. Trade Entry: The NNFX trading system has strict rules for trade entry. The system uses a combination of technical indicators to identify high-probability trades, and traders must meet specific criteria to enter a trade.
5. Stop Loss Placement: The NNFX trading system places a significant emphasis on risk management and requires traders to place a stop loss order on every trade. The system uses a combination of technical analysis and market structure to determine the appropriate stop loss level.
6. Trade Management: The NNFX trading system has specific rules for managing open trades. The system aims to minimize risk and maximize profit by using a combination of trailing stops, take profit levels, and position sizing.
Overall, the NNFX trading system is designed to be a straightforward and easy-to-follow approach to Forex trading that can be applied by traders of all skill levels.
Core components of an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy
The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
5. Continuation - a technical indicator used to identify trends
6. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown
7. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted
What is Volatility in the NNFX trading system?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, ATR (Average True Range) is typically used to measure the volatility of an asset. It is used as a part of the system to help determine the appropriate stop loss and take profit levels for a trade. ATR is calculated by taking the average of the true range values over a specified period.
True range is calculated as the maximum of the following values:
-Current high minus the current low
-Absolute value of the current high minus the previous close
-Absolute value of the current low minus the previous close
ATR is a dynamic indicator that changes with changes in volatility. As volatility increases, the value of ATR increases, and as volatility decreases, the value of ATR decreases. By using ATR in NNFX system, traders can adjust their stop loss and take profit levels according to the volatility of the asset being traded. This helps to ensure that the trade is given enough room to move, while also minimizing potential losses.
Other types of volatility include True Range Double (TRD), Close-to-Close, and Garman-Klass
What is a Baseline indicator?
The baseline is essentially a moving average, and is used to determine the overall direction of the market.
The baseline in the NNFX system is used to filter out trades that are not in line with the long-term trend of the market. The baseline is plotted on the chart along with other indicators, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR).
Trades are only taken when the price is in the same direction as the baseline. For example, if the baseline is sloping upwards, only long trades are taken, and if the baseline is sloping downwards, only short trades are taken. This approach helps to ensure that trades are in line with the overall trend of the market, and reduces the risk of entering trades that are likely to fail.
By using a baseline in the NNFX system, traders can have a clear reference point for determining the overall trend of the market, and can make more informed trading decisions. The baseline helps to filter out noise and false signals, and ensures that trades are taken in the direction of the long-term trend.
What is a Confirmation indicator?
Confirmation indicators are technical indicators that are used to confirm the signals generated by primary indicators. Primary indicators are the core indicators used in the NNFX system, such as the Average True Range (ATR), the Moving Average (MA), and the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
The purpose of the confirmation indicators is to reduce false signals and improve the accuracy of the trading system. They are designed to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators by providing additional information about the strength and direction of the trend.
Some examples of confirmation indicators that may be used in the NNFX system include the Bollinger Bands, the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and the MACD Oscillator. These indicators can provide information about the volatility, momentum, and trend strength of the market, and can be used to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators.
In the NNFX system, confirmation indicators are used in combination with primary indicators and other filters to create a trading system that is robust and reliable. By using multiple indicators to confirm trading signals, the system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of the trades.
What is a Continuation indicator?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, a continuation indicator is a technical indicator that is used to confirm a current trend and predict that the trend is likely to continue in the same direction. A continuation indicator is typically used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as a baseline indicator, to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
What is a Volatility/Volume indicator?
Volume indicators, such as the On Balance Volume (OBV), the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), or the Volume Price Trend (VPT), are used to measure the amount of buying and selling activity in a market. They are based on the trading volume of the market, and can provide information about the strength of the trend. In the NNFX system, volume indicators are used to confirm trading signals generated by the Moving Average and the Relative Strength Index. Volatility indicators include Average Direction Index, Waddah Attar, and Volatility Ratio. In the NNFX trading system, volatility is a proxy for volume and vice versa.
By using volume indicators as confirmation tools, the NNFX trading system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of trades. These indicators can provide additional information about the market that is not captured by the primary indicators, and can help traders to make more informed trading decisions. In addition, volume indicators can be used to identify potential changes in market trends and to confirm the strength of price movements.
What is an Exit indicator?
The exit indicator is used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR), to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
The exit indicator in the NNFX system can be any technical indicator that is deemed effective at identifying optimal exit points. Examples of exit indicators that are commonly used include the Parabolic SAR, the Average Directional Index (ADX), and the Chandelier Exit.
The purpose of the exit indicator is to identify when a trend is likely to reverse or when the market conditions have changed, signaling the need to exit a trade. By using an exit indicator, traders can manage their risk and prevent significant losses.
In the NNFX system, the exit indicator is used in conjunction with a stop loss and a take profit order to maximize profits and minimize losses. The stop loss order is used to limit the amount of loss that can be incurred if the trade goes against the trader, while the take profit order is used to lock in profits when the trade is moving in the trader's favor.
Overall, the use of an exit indicator in the NNFX trading system is an important component of a comprehensive trading strategy. It allows traders to manage their risk effectively and improve the profitability of their trades by exiting at the right time.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v1.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data between modules. Data is passed between each module as described below:
GKD-B => GKD-V => GKD-C(1) => GKD-C(2) => GKD-C(Continuation) => GKD-E => GKD-BT
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Strategy with 1-3 take profits, trailing stop loss, multiple types of PnL volatility, and 2 backtesting styles
Baseline: Hull Moving Average
Volatility/Volume: Hurst Exponent
Confirmation 1: Blau Ergodic Candlestick Index as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 2: Williams Percent Range
Continuation: Fisher Transform
Exit: Rex Oscillator
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD protocol chain.

█ GKD-C Blau Ergodic Candlestick Index
What is Blau Ergodic Candlestick Index?
The Blau Ergodic CSI-Oscillator is a technical analysis indicator developed by William Blau and described in his book “Momentum, Direction, and Divergence: Applying the Latest Momentum Indicators for Technical Analysis”. It is based on the Candlestick Index (CSI), which measures the difference between the current close price and the open price of a certain number of bars ago. The values of the CSI are normalized by the price range and mapped into the interval.
The Ergodic CSI-Oscillator is calculated using the following formula:
Ergodic_CSI(price1,price2,q,r,s,u) = CSI(price1,price2,q,r,s,u)
SignalLine(price1,price2,q,r,s,u,ul) = EMA(Ergodic_CSI(price1,price2,q,r,s,u),ul)
where:
- Ergodic_CSI(): Ergodic - Candlestick Index CSI(price1,price2,q,r,s,u)
- SignalLine(): Signal Line - exponentially smoothed moving average EMA(ul), applied to Ergodic
- ul: period of a signal line ¹.
The input parameters for this indicator are:
- q: number of bars used in calculation of Candlestick Momentum (default value is 1)
- r: period of the first EMA applied to Candlestick Momentum (default value is 20)
- s: period of the second EMA applied to result of the first smoothing (default value is 5)
- u: period of the third EMA applied to result of the second smoothing (default value is 3)
- ul: period of the Signal Line - EMA(ul), applied to Ergodic (default value is 3)
- AppliedPrice1: price type (default value is PRICE_CLOSE)
- AppliedPrice2: price type (default value is PRICE_OPEN) ¹.
I hope this information helps you understand what Blau Ergodic CSI-Oscillator is and how it works.

BH - Candlestick Pattern DetectionThis is a script to help the beginners locate the candle patterns. It has a nice code that can be used in other scripts too. Easy to use with separated functions, simple patterns and complex patterns detections.
I have done some updates at the Candlestick Patterns Identified script by @repo32. Was a good start of my ideia. Tks for sharing repo.
It will be always under constant development but I want to share this first version to know what can be done to get better, improve, get more desired patterns, know what are you guys using that could be helpful.
I still need to check if all patterns are correct.
Any comments, help and suggestions will be appreciated.

Reversal Candlestick Setups (Doji, Outside, Extreme, Wick)Reversal Candlestick Setups – Doji, Outside, Extreme & Wick
This indicator identifies four high-probability reversal candlestick patterns across all timeframes: Doji Reversals, Outside Reversals, Extreme Reversals, and Wick Reversals. Each setup is based on clearly defined quantitative rules, allowing traders to filter noise and focus on strong reversal signals instead of relying on subjective visual interpretation.
The tool automatically scans every candle, highlights qualifying patterns on the chart, and provides alert options for both bullish and bearish versions of all four setups. This makes it suitable for intraday traders, swing traders, and positional traders seeking early reversal confirmation.
Included Setups
1. Doji Reversal Setup
Identifies candles with extremely small bodies relative to their range, combined with a smaller-than-average bar size. Useful for spotting market indecision before a directional shift.
2. Outside Reversal Setup
Flags candles that engulf the previous candle’s high–low range and exceed the average range by a multiplier. This is designed to capture strong momentum reversals driven by aggressive buying or selling.
3. Extreme Reversal Setup
Highlights large-bodied candles that dominate their overall range and exceed twice the average bar size. These signals aim to catch climactic exhaustion and institutional-level reversals.
4. Wick Reversal Setup
Detects candles with long rejection wicks, small bodies, and closes near an extreme of the range, supported by above-average bar size. Ideal for identifying sharp intrabar rejections.
Key Features
• Automatically detects all four reversal setups
• Works on all timeframes and symbols
• Customizable variables for deeper testing and optimization
• Clear bullish and bearish labels directly on the chart
• Fully integrated alert conditions for real-time notifications
• Suitable for crypto, stocks, indices, forex, and commodities
Who This Indicator Is For
• Traders who want objective, rule-based reversal detection
• Price action traders looking to enhance accuracy
• Systematic traders wanting quantifiable candlestick criteria
• Beginners learning reversal structures with visual guidance
• Professionals integrating reversal patterns into algorithmic or discretionary systems
How to Use
Add the indicator to your chart and enable alerts for the specific setups you want to track (e.g., “Bullish Wick Reversal”). Combine these signals with market structure, trend filters, volume analysis, or momentum indicators for increased conviction.
[DEM] Engulfing Candlestick Identifier Engulfing Candlestick Identifier is designed to automatically detect and highlight bullish and bearish engulfing candlestick patterns by analyzing the relationship between consecutive candles and applying ATR-based size filters to ensure significant pattern validity. The indicator identifies bullish engulfing patterns when the current candle closes above the previous candle's open, opens below the previous candle's close, and both candles meet minimum size requirements based on ATR thresholds, while bearish engulfing patterns are detected under opposite conditions. The indicator colors bars green for bullish engulfing patterns, red for bearish engulfing patterns, and optionally purple for all other bars when the "Different Color" setting is enabled, helping traders quickly identify potential reversal signals where one candle completely engulfs the body of the previous candle with sufficient magnitude to suggest meaningful momentum shifts.
[DEM] Doji Candlestick Identifier Doji Candlestick Identifier is designed to automatically detect and highlight doji candlestick patterns on the price chart by identifying bars where the opening and closing prices are nearly identical, indicating market indecision. The indicator uses statistical analysis to determine what constitutes a "near identical" open-close relationship by calculating the standard deviation of close-open differences over a specified lookback period (default 200 bars) and setting tolerance bands at one-tenth of this deviation above and below zero. When a candlestick's open-close difference falls within these narrow tolerance bands, the indicator places a small gray triangle below the bar to mark the doji pattern, helping traders quickly identify potential reversal or continuation points where buying and selling pressure are balanced.
Volume-Enhanced Candlestick Patterns 1
Overview
Scans for four major candlestick reversal patterns:
Harami
Engulfing
Morning/Evening Star
Piercing Line/Dark Cloud Cover
Underlying logic assumes that, at a turning point, the dominant side (bulls or bears) often delivers a “final” push—either a last surge of buying or selling—before the reversal truly takes hold.
Pattern Toggles
Each individual pattern can be turned on or off in the inputs.
Enable only the patterns you want to monitor to reduce chart clutter and speed up performance.
Volume Filter Toggle
On: Requires volume-based exhaustion or climax to confirm each pattern.
Off: Relies purely on price-action candlestick logic (no volume checks).
Grouped Labels & Confluence
When one or more patterns trigger on the same bar close, a single label is drawn:
Grouping multiple confirmed patterns on one bar increases confluence and signal strength.
Climax Volume × Multiplier
Adjusting this input affects signal frequency and conviction:
Higher multiplier → fewer signals but with stronger volume confirmation
Lower multiplier → more signals, each with a looser volume requirement
Alerts
Built-in alert condition for each individual pattern (bullish/bearish Harami, Engulfing, Star, Piercing, Dark Cloud Cover), so you can receive real-time notifications whenever a confirmation occurs.

IU Three Line Strike Candlestick PatternIU Three Line Strike Candlestick Pattern
This indicator identifies the Three Line Strike candlestick pattern — a rare yet powerful 4-bar reversal setup that captures exhaustion and momentum shifts at the end of strong trends.
Pattern Logic:
The Three Line Strike is a 4-candle pattern that typically signals a sharp reversal after a sustained directional move. This script detects both bullish and bearish variations using strict criteria to ensure accuracy.
Bullish Three Line Strike:
* Previous three candles must be bearish (red)
* Each of these candles must close progressively lower (indicating a strong downtrend)
* The current candle must:
* Be bullish (green)
* Open below the prior close
* Completely engulf the previous three candles by closing above the first candle's open
* And make a higher high than the last 3 bars — confirming a strong reversal
* Once confirmed, a green shaded box is drawn around the 4-bar zone to highlight the pattern
Bearish Three Line Strike:
* Previous three candles must be bullish (green)
* Each must close progressively higher (indicating a strong uptrend)
* The current candle must:
* Be bearish (red)
* Open above the prior close
* Completely engulf the prior three candles by closing below the first candle's open
* And make a lower low than the last 3 bars — confirming downside strength
* A red shaded box is plotted around the 4-bar formation to emphasize the reversal zone
Why this is unique:
Most candlestick tools focus on 1–2 bar patterns. The Three Line Strike goes a step further by combining trend exhaustion (3 same-colored candles) with a full reversal engulfing candle. This pattern is both rare and highly expressive of sentiment shift, making it a standout signal for discretionary and algorithmic traders alike.
How users can benefit:
* High-probability setups: Filters out weak signals using multi-bar confirmation logic
* Clear visual cues: Dynamic shaded boxes and labels make spotting reversals effortless
* Cross-timeframe compatible: Works on intraday and higher timeframes across all markets
* Real-time alerts: Get notified instantly when a bullish or bearish setup forms
This indicator is a valuable addition for traders who want to capture key reversals backed by strong multi-bar price action logic. Whether you are a price action purist or a pattern-based strategist, the IU Three Line Strike gives you a reliable edge.

IU Inside out candlestick patternIU Inside Out Candlestick Pattern
This indicator identifies the Inside Out Candlestick Pattern — a unique 3-bar price action setup that captures strong market momentum and potential reversals with greater reliability than traditional patterns.
Pattern Logic:
The Inside Out pattern builds upon a classic engulfing setup by adding a breakout confirmation, making it a refined and filtered approach to candlestick analysis.
Bullish Inside Out Logic:
- Bar must be a bullish engulfing candle (engulfs previous bearish candle).
- Current bar must be bullish and must close above the high of the engulfing candle (a bullish breakout).
- When this setup is confirmed, a shaded green box is drawn around the range of the engulfing candle and its preceding bar.
Bearish Inside Out Logic:
- Bar must be a bearish engulfing candle (engulfs previous bullish candle).
- Current bar must be bearish and must close below the low of the engulfing candle (a bearish breakdown).
- When confirmed, a red box highlights the zone formed by the engulfing candle and its prior bar.
Why this is unique:
Unlike conventional candlestick indicators that trigger signals immediately after an engulfing pattern, this script adds a breakout condition to validate follow-through strength. This reduces false positives and gives traders a clearer edge. The pattern is also rare, which means it captures strong, decisive moves when it does appear.
How users can benefit:
- High-quality entries: Only shows patterns with proven follow-through, improving trade timing.
- Visual clarity: Boxes and labels highlight significant price zones for easy interpretation.
- Flexible use: Applicable across timeframes and instruments — ideal for both intraday and swing traders.
- Alerts included: Real-time alerts help traders stay updated without staring at charts all day.
This script is a powerful tool for price action traders looking to enhance pattern reliability and signal strength through structure-based breakout confirmation.
