Master Candle Breakout V1 Master Candle Breakout V1 - Indicator Description The Master Candle Breakout V1 indicator is a powerful price action-based tool designed to help traders identify and capitalize on breakout opportunities from consolidation phases. This indicator is particularly useful for identifying master candles, which are large candles that encompass the range of subsequent candles, creating a key level of support or resistance. Once the price breaks above or below the range of the master candle, the indicator provides clear buy or sell signals, allowing traders to ride the momentum of the breakout. Key Features: Master Candle Detection: The indicator identifies master candles based on a user-defined period, marking them on the chart as critical breakout points. Buy and Sell Signals: When the price breaks above the master candle's high, a buy signal is plotted. Similarly, when the price breaks below the master candle's low, a sell signal is generated. These signals are displayed on the chart with customizable shapes (diamonds, arrows, circles, crosses) and colors for easy visualization. Stop-Loss Level Display: For risk management, the indicator calculates and plots a stop-loss level based on user-defined ticks above or below the master candle's high or low. The stop-loss value is shown as a label next to the signal, helping traders manage risk effectively. Customizable Colors and Shapes: Users can fully customize the appearance of the signals, including the color of the buy/sell diamonds, the stop-loss label text color, and the type of shape used for the signals. Versatile Application: The Master Candle Breakout V1 can be applied to any timeframe and market, from forex and stocks to commodities and cryptocurrencies, making it a highly versatile tool for traders of all types. How to Use: Master Candle Period: Define how many candles should follow the master candle for confirmation. Stop Loss Ticks: Set the number of ticks above or below the master candle to define your stop-loss level. Entry Signals: Once the price closes outside the high or low of the master candle, enter the trade accordingly (buy on breakouts above the high, sell on breakouts below the low). Risk Management: Use the stop-loss level provided by the indicator to minimize losses and protect your capital. This indicator is perfect for traders who prefer a simple, price-action-based strategy and want to avoid the clutter of traditional indicators. By focusing on the core principle of breakouts, Master Candle Breakout V1 helps traders quickly identify consolidation zones and potential breakout trades.

Bullish On Neck Candlestick patternExplanation: 1. Bullish Large Candle: The first candle is defined as bullish, where the closing price is much higher than the opening price. It also needs to have a large body (at least 60% of the total candle height). 2. Small Bearish Candle: The second candle is bearish and closes near the high of the previous bullish candle, with a relatively small body. 3. Bullish On Neck Detection: The script looks for this pattern where the bullish large candle is followed by a smaller bearish candle that closes near the first candle's high, indicating potential for a bullish breakout. 4. Plot: When the pattern is detected, the script places a green triangle above the bar to signal the bullish on neck pattern.

Indecisive CandlesAn Indecisive Candle, often referred to as a Base Candle, is a pivotal element in technical analysis, particularly for identifying institutional supply and demand zones. These candles are characterized by their small bodies and long wicks, reflecting a balance between buyers and sellers, indicating a potential pause or consolidation in the market. To calculate whether a candle qualifies as an indecisive candle based on the criterion that its body (the absolute difference between its open and close prices) is less than or equal to 50% of the total range of the candle (the difference between its high and low prices). Key Features: Small Real Body: Signifies minimal movement from open to close, indicating market indecision. Long Upper and Lower Wicks: Show that both bulls and bears attempted to control the price, but neither succeeded, leading to a standoff. Formation Context: Typically found at the end of a strong trend or within a consolidation phase, hinting at a potential reversal or continuation pattern. Usage in Identifying Institutional Supply and Demand: Supply Zones: When an Indecisive Candle forms after a rally, it can mark the onset of an institutional supply zone, suggesting that large entities are starting to sell, leading to potential downward pressure. Demand Zones: Conversely, when this candle appears after a downtrend, it often signals the emergence of a demand zone, where institutions begin to accumulate, anticipating a price increase. Trading Strategies: Zone Identification: Use Indecisive Candles to pinpoint key supply and demand zones on your chart, enhancing the accuracy of your support and resistance levels. Confirmation: Look for confirmation from subsequent price action or volume spikes to validate the presence of institutional activity before making trading decisions. Risk Management: Place stop-loss orders beyond the wicks of these candles to protect against false breakouts or continued indecision. Conclusion: Indecisive Candles are essential tools for traders looking to understand market sentiment and institutional behavior. By mastering their identification and interpretation, you can enhance your ability to spot high-probability trading opportunities and manage risks effectively.

Market Relative Candle Ratio ComparatorIntroducing the Market Relative Candle Ratio Comparator, a visually captivating script that eases the way you compare two financial assets, such as cryptocurrencies and market indices. Leveraging a distinctive calculation method based on percentage changes and their averages, this tool presents a crystal-clear view of how your chosen assets perform in relation to each other, both for individual candles and over a range of previous candles. Tailoring the script to your preferences is a walk in the park, as it allows you to easily adjust input symbols, moving average lengths, and other parameters to match your analytical approach. The visually arresting column chart it creates employs vivid red and green colors to underscore the differences between the two assets on each candle. Simultaneously, the lower-opacity columns depict the accumulated differences over a specified lookback period. This vibrant blend of colors and opacities results in a dynamic visual experience, enabling you to better grasp market trends relative to each other. The reverse bool input is a handy feature that lets you invert the effect of the input symbol (DXY by default) in the comparison. When you set the reverse input to true, the script multiplies the calculated DXY percentage change by -1, effectively reversing the comparison. This is particularly useful when examining assets with an inverse relationship or when you'd like to analyze the input symbol's impact in the opposite direction. For instance, if the input symbol represents a market index that generally moves in the opposite direction of the selected cryptocurrency, enabling the reverse input will help you better visualize and understand the relationship between the two assets by inverting the input symbol's effect on the comparison. In the accompanying chart, you can observe the comparison of Bitcoin's movement relative to the Dollar, Gold, Bonds, and the S&P 500. The indicator reveals that in the last day, Bitcoin outperformed Bonds, Gold, and the Dollar but not the S&P 500!

Liquidity Engulfing Candles [upslidedown]Liquidity engulfing candles (LEC) are a variant of a common candlestick pattern: engulfing candles but with a couple extra conditions applied. These conditions expect highs/lows to be taken out in order to show a continuation or reversal signal. Filter 1: Stop Hunt Wick Filter This filter requires the candle to wick into the prior candles high or low ( bullish = wick below prior candle lows). This is the stop hunt. Filter 2: Close Filter This filter requires the candle to close above or below above the prior candle ( bullish = close above prior candle high). This is the confirmation. This idea was introduced to me by @attrk632. Thanks, mate!

Bull and Bear Marubozus Candlestick PatternMarubozus are an interesting candle pattern wherein the close and open of the candle are also the high / low points of the candle. In other words, a candle with no shadows or wicks. How reliable are they, though? Probably not very reliable on their own. It may also depend on the size of the candle. You would probably want to incorporate this candle pattern with other filters, like RSI, MACD, to filter trade opportunities.

Candlestick Pattern IdentifierMy script builds upon another user-submitted script by rebuilding the logic used to identify candlestick patterns. The logic in my script is a mix of strict and lax guidelines to mitigate false flags and present valid buy and sell signals. -To use this indicator, simply add it to any chart. It will identify trends on any time frame although the lower you go, the more signals you'll see and the higher probability of those signals being false flags. You can also disable any candlestick patterns that you feel are not as useful. - This indicator works best with Stocks and also with Forex markets to a lesser extent. - This indicator works the best on the Daily chart and also works (with varying degrees of success) on any timeframe at or above 1 hour. I've found that this indicator works the best when used in tandem with the Daily and Hourly charts with the Hourly chart being used to determine an entry point while the Daily chart is used for long term trend analysis.

Manipulation Candle (RIC) V0.2Interpretation and Trading Use Boxed Candles: Represent 15-minute periods with unusually high range relative to daily volatility. These may signal: Market manipulation (e.g., stop hunts or fakeouts). Breakouts, reversals, or high-impact news. Entry/exit points in strategies focusing on volatility expansion. No Boxes: Indicates normal or low-volatility candles (range < threshold). Multi-Timeframe Analysis: On lower timeframes (e.g., 5-min), boxes encompass multiple bars. On higher (e.g., 1-hour), they highlight specific 15-min segments. Example: On a volatile stock like TSLA, a 0.2 multiplier might highlight candles during earnings releases, aiding in spotting trading opportunities. Limitations and Considerations Drawing Limits: TradingView caps drawing objects at ~500 per script. On long histories, older boxes may not load—zoom in or reduce chart bars. Data Availability: Requires 15-minute and daily data; may not work on illiquid symbols or non-standard charts (e.g., Renko). Real-Time Delays: Boxes appear only after 15-min closes; no intra-bar drawing. No Alerts Built-In: Add custom alerts via TradingView's alert system (e.g., on condition changes). Performance: Efficient, but on very low timeframes with long history, it may use more resources due to persistent boxes. Customization: For extensions (e.g., labels, multiple timeframes), modify the code carefully in Pine Script® v6 to avoid errors. Version History V0.2: Added persistent historical boxes; refined new candle detection. Future Updates: Potential additions like box limits or multi-multiplier support. Check for updates in the script comments. If you encounter issues or need customizations, refer to TradingView's Pine Script® documentation or community forums. For error-free extensions in Pine Script® v6, ensure proper variable scoping, type declarations, and testing on historical data.

3/4-Bar GRG / RGR Pattern (Conditional 4th Candle)This indicator can be used to identify the Green-Red-Green or Red-Green-Red pattern. It is a price action indicator where a price action which identifies the defeat of buyers and sellers. If the buyers comprehensively defeat the sellers then the price moves up and if the sellers defeat the buyers then the price moves down. In my trading experience this is what defines the price movement. It is a 3 or 4 candle pattern, beyond that i.e, 5 or more candles could mean a very sideways market and unnecessary signal generation. How does it work? Upside/Green signal Say candle 1 is Green, which means buyers stepped in, then candle 2 is Red or a Doji, that means sellers brought the price down. Then if candle 3 is forming to be Green and breaks the closing of the 1st candle and opening of the 2nd candle, then a green arrow will appear and that is the place where you want to take your trade. Here the buyers defeated the sellers. Sometimes candle 3 falls short but candle 4 breaks candle 1's closing and candle 2's opening price. We can enter on candle 4. Important - We need to enter the trade as soon as the price moves above the candle 1 and 2's body and should not wait for the 3rd or 4th candle to close. Ignore wicks. I have restricted it to 4 candles and that is all that is needed. More than that is a longer sideways market. I call it the +-+ or GRG pattern. Stop loss can be candle 2's mid for safe traders (that includes me) or candle 2's body low for risky traders. Back testing suggests that body low will be useless and result in more points in loss because for the bigger move this point will not be touched, so why not get out faster. Downside/Red signal Say candle 1 is Red, which means sellers stepped in, then candle 2 is Green or a Doji, that means buyers took the price up. Then if candle 3 is forming to be Red and breaks the closing of the 1st candle and opening of the 2nd candle then a Red arrow will appear and that is the place where you want to take your trade. Sometimes candle 3 falls short but candle 4 breaks candle 1's closing and candle 2's opening price. We can enter on candle 4. We need to enter the trade as soon as the price moves below the candle 1 and 2's body and should not wait for the 3rd or 4th candle to close. I have restricted it to 4 candles and that is all that is needed. More than that is a longer sideways market. I call it the -+- or RGR pattern. Stop loss can be candle 2's mid for safe traders ( that includes me) or candle 2's body high for risky traders. Back testing suggests that body high will be useless and result in more points in loss because for the bigger move this point will not be touched, so why not get out faster. Important Settings You can enable or disable the 4th candle signal to avoid the noise, but at times I have noticed that the 4th candle gives a very strong signal or I can say that the strong signal falls on the 4th candle. This is mostly a coincidence. You can also configure how many previous bars should the signal be generated for. 10 to 30 is good enough. To backtest increase it to 2000 or 5000 for example. Rest are self explanatory. Pointers If after taking the trade, the next candle moves in your direction and closes strong bullish or bearish, then move SL to break even and after that you can trail it. If a upside trade hits SL and immediately a down side trade signal is generated on the next candle then take it. Vice versa is true. Trades need to be taken on previous 2 candle's body high or low combined and not the wicks. The most losses a trader takes is on a sideways day and because in our strategy the stop loss is so small that even on a sideways day we'll get out with a little profit or worst break even. Hold targets for longer targets and don't panic. If last 3-4 days have been sideways then there is a good probability that day will be trending so we can hold our trade for longer targets. Target to hold the trade for whole day and not exit till the day closes. In general avoid trading in the middle of the day for index and stocks. Divide the day into 3 parts and avoid the middle. Use Support/Resistance, 10, 20, 50, 200 EMA/SMA, Gaps, Whole/Round numbers(very imp) for identifying targets. Trail your SL. For indexes I would use 5 min and 15 min timeframe. For commodities and crypto we can use higher timeframe as well. Look for signals during volatile time durations and avoid trading the whole day. Signal usually gives good targets on those times. If a GRG or RGR pattern appears on a daily timeframe then this is our time to go big. Minimum Risk to Reward should be 1:2 and for longer targets can be 1:4 to 1:10. Trade with small lot size. Money management will happen automatically. With small lot size and correct Risk-Re ward we can be very profitable. Don't trade with big lot size. Stay in the market for longer and collect points not money. Very imp - Watch market and learn to generate a market view. Very imp - Only 4 candles are needed in trading - strong bullish, strong bearish, hammer, inverse hammer and doji. Go big on bearish days for option traders. Puts are better bought and Calls are better sold. Cluster of green signals can lead to bigger move on the upside and vice versa for red signals. Most of this is what I learned from successful traders (from the top 2%) only the indicator is mine.

Market Imbalance Tracker (Inefficient Candle + FVG)# 📊 Overview This indicator combines two imbalance concepts: • **Squared Up Points (SUP)** – midpoints of large, "inefficient" candles that often attract price back. • **Fair Value Gaps (FVG)** – 3-candle gaps created by strong impulse moves that often get "filled." Use them separately or together. Confluence between a SUP line and an FVG boundary/midpoint is high-value. --- # ⚡ Quick Start (2 minutes) 1. **Add to chart** → keep defaults (Percentile method, 80th percentile, 100-bar lookback). 2. **Watch** for dashed SUP lines to print after large candles. 3. **Toggle Show FVG** → see green/red boxes where gaps exist. 4. **Turn on alerts** → New SUP created, SUP touched, New FVG. 5. **Trade the reaction** → look for confluence (SUP + FVG + S/R), then manage risk. --- # 🛠 Features ## 🔹 Squared Up Points (SUP) • **Purpose:** Midpoint of a large candle → potential support/resistance magnet. • **Detection:** Choose *Percentile* (adaptive) or *ATR Multiple* (absolute). • **Validation:** Only plots if the preceding candle does not touch the midpoint (with tolerance). • **Lifecycle:** Line auto-extends into the future; it's removed when touched or aged out. • **Visual:** Horizontal dashed line (color/width configurable; style fixed to dashed if not exposed). ## 🔹 Fair Value Gaps (FVG) • **Purpose:** 3-candle gaps from an impulse; price often revisits to "fill." • **Detection:** Requires a strong directional candle (Marubozu threshold) creating a gap. • **Types:** - **Bullish FVG (Green):** Gap below; expectation is downward fill. - **Bearish FVG (Red):** Gap above; expectation is upward fill. • **Close Rules (if implemented):** - *Full Fill:* Gap closes when the opposite boundary is tagged. - *Midpoint Fill:* Gap closes when its midpoint is tagged. • **Visual:** Colored boxes; optional split-coloring to emphasize the midpoint. > **Note:** If a listed FVG option isn't visible in Inputs, you're on a lighter build; use the available switches. --- # ⚙️ Settings ## SUP Settings • **Candle Size Method:** Percentile (top X% of recent ranges) or ATR Multiple. • **Candle Size Percentile:** e.g., 80 → top 20% largest candles. • **ATR Multiple & Period:** e.g., 1.5 × ATR(14). • **Percentile Lookback:** Bars used to compute percentile. • **Lookback Period:** How long SUP lines remain eligible before auto-cleanup. • **Touch Tolerance (%):** Buffer based on the inefficient candle's range (0% = exact touch). ## Line Appearance • **Line Color / Width:** Customizable. • **Style:** Dashed (fixed unless you expose a style input). ## FVG Settings (if present in your build) • **Show FVG:** On/Off. • **Close Method:** Full Fill or Midpoint. • **Marubozu Wick Tolerance:** Max wick % of the impulse bar. • **Use Split Coloring:** Two-tone box halves around midpoint. • **Colors:** Bullish/Bearish, and upper/lower halves (if split). • **Max FVG Age:** Auto-remove older gaps. --- # 📈 How to Use ## Trading Applications • **SUP Lines:** Expect reaction on first touch; use as S/R or profit-taking magnets. • **FVG Fills:** Price frequently tags the midpoint/boundary before continuing. • **Confluence:** SUP at an FVG midpoint/boundary + higher-timeframe S/R = higher quality. • **Bias:** Clusters of unfilled FVGs can hint at path of least resistance. ## Best Practices • **Timeframe:** HTFs for swing levels, LTFs for execution. • **Volume:** High volume at level = stronger signal. • **Context:** Trade with broader trend or at least avoid counter-trend without confirmation. • **Risk:** Always pre-define invalidation; structures fail in chop. --- # 🔔 Alerts • **New SUP Created** – When a qualifying inefficient candle prints a SUP midpoint. • **SUP Touched/Invalidated** – When price touches within tolerance. • **New FVG Detected** – When a valid gap forms per your rules. > **Tip:** Set alerts *Once Per Bar Close* on HTFs; *Once* on LTFs to avoid noise. --- # 🧑‍💻 Technical Notes • **Percentile vs ATR:** Percentile adapts to volatility; ATR gives consistency for backtesting. • **FVG Direction Logic:** Gap above price = bearish (expect up-fill); below = bullish (expect down-fill). • **Performance:** Limits on lines/boxes and auto-aging keep things snappy. --- # ⚠️ Limitations • Imbalances are **context tools**, not signals by themselves. • Works best with trend or clear impulses; expect noise in narrow ranges. • Lower-timeframe gaps can be plentiful and lower quality. --- # 📌 Version & Requirements • **Pine Script v6** • Heavy drawings may require **TradingView Pro** or higher (object limits). --- *For best results, combine with your existing trading strategy and proper risk management.*
