Harmony or Divergence Single CandleThis script is designed for traders who seek to visually identify and analyze patterns of harmony and divergence in the price action of securities directly on their trading charts. The script provides a nuanced approach to understanding market sentiment and potential price movement directions by examining candle sizes and volumes over a specified lookback period.
What the Script Does:
The script overlays indicators on the price chart that highlight periods of harmony and divergence using background colors. These periods are determined based on comparisons between current candle sizes, candle volumes, and their respective simple moving averages (SMAs) over a user-defined lookback period.
Harmony : A state where the candle size and volume are either both above or below their respective averages, indicating a consensus or agreement in market direction.
Divergence : A state where there's a mismatch, such as a larger candle size with lower volume or vice versa, suggesting uncertainty or potential reversal in market trends.
How It Does It:
User Inputs : Traders can customize several parameters, including the lookback period for averages, whether to include wicks in candle size calculations, and preferences for displaying harmony and divergence indicators with specific colors.
Calculations :
- The script calculates the simple moving average (SMA) of volume and candle sizes (with an option to consider the full candle range including wicks or just the body) over the specified lookback period.
- It then compares the current candle's size and volume against these averages to identify states of harmony or divergence.
Visualization :
- Based on the user's input, it colors the background of the chart to reflect identified patterns. Each state (harmony above or below average, divergence with higher volume or larger candle body) can be highlighted with different colors, providing immediate visual cues to the trader.
What Traders Can Do With the Script:
Traders can utilize this script to enhance their technical analysis by:
Identifying Trend Consistency : Harmony indicators can signal strong trends where price action and volume confirm each other, possibly supporting continuation strategies.
Spotting Potential Reversals : Divergence indicators may highlight potential exhaustion points or reversals, especially when price moves significantly without corresponding volume support.
Customizing Analysis : By adjusting the lookback period, candle size consideration (body or including wicks), and visualization options, traders can tailor the analysis to fit their trading style and strategy.
Dollar Volume Last 20 CandlesThe "Dollar Volume Last 20 Candles" indicator, abbreviated as "DV", is a practical and insightful tool for traders and analysts.
This indicator focuses on enhancing the visualization of trading data by calculating and displaying the dollar volume for each of the last 20 bars on a financial chart. It achieves this by multiplying the closing price of each bar with its trading volume, providing a clear dollar value of the trading activity.
The script also features an intuitive formatting system that simplifies large numbers into 'k' (thousands) and 'M' (millions), making the data easily digestible.
The dollar volume data is displayed directly above each bar, adjusted for visibility using the Average True Range (ATR), ensuring that it is both unobtrusive and readily accessible. This overlay feature integrates seamlessly with the existing chart, offering traders a quick and efficient way to assess monetary trading volume at a glance, which is particularly useful for identifying trends and market strength.

Heikin-Ashi Candle ColorOne of the biggest complaints about Heikin Ashi is the lack of real price data you receive. This attempts to give you as much information as possible by displaying both the candle color and the Heikin Ashi color. The wick takes on the original color while the body of the candle gets the Heikin Ashi color. The only downside to this method is that you do not get to see candle patterns. As always I hope you enjoy this release!

Candle Color by VolumeA simple but effective indicator that paints candles with different shades of colors based on the volume transacted.
-> Supports 6 levels of sensitivity at present. Might enhance the granularity later.
-> Darkest indicates the most volume transacted. Lightest, the least. Change it around however you see fit and based on your theme.
-> Use it for your Volume Spread Analysis and/or in conjunction with any other strategies that you employ.
-> Note that the volume ratio is calculated relative to the average volume of the last n candles ( EMA 20 by default).

ANN Next Coming Candlestick Forecast SPX 1D v1.0WARNING:
Experimental and incomplete.
Script is open to development and will be developed.
This is just version 1.0
STRUCTURE
This script is trained according to the open, close, high and low values of the bars.
It is tried to predict the future values of opening, closing, high and low values.
A few simple codes were used to correlate expectation with current values. (You can see between line 129 - 159 )
Therefore, they are all individually trained.
You can see in functions.
The average training error of each variable is less than 0.011.
NOTE :
This script is designed for experimental use on S & P 500 and connected instruments only on 1-day bars.
The Plotcandle function is inspired by the following script of alexgrover :
Since we estimate the next values, our error rates should be much lower for all candlestick values. This is just first version to show logic.
I will continue to look for other variables to reach average error = 0.001 - 0.005 for each candlestick status.
Feel free to use and improve , this is open-source.
Best regards.
Daily/Weekly Swing Highs-Lows + Candle PatternsDescription
Daily/Weekly Swing Highs-Lows + Candle Patterns
This indicator plots the most recent Daily and Weekly Swing Highs and Lows (key support/resistance levels) using a simple and effective logic: a swing high/low is confirmed when the previous bar's extreme is higher/lower than both the current and the one before it.
Features:
• Daily Swing Highs/Lows (teal/maroon circles) – toggleable
• Weekly Swing Highs/Lows (blue/purple circles) – optional
• Visual separators for new daily and weekly bars (light background color)
• Daily candle pattern labels (optional):
- US = Up Swing (strong bullish continuation)
- DS = Down Swing (strong bearish continuation)
- IN = Inside Bar
- OUT = Outside Bar
• Daily close position labels (optional):
- P = Positive (close in upper 25% of the range)
- mP = minor Positive (50–75%)
- mN = minor Negative (25–50%)
- N = Negative (lower 25%)
All elements are fully customizable (colors, visibility) and work on any timeframe.
Best suited for intraday timeframes (1 min to 4 hours) where daily and weekly key levels provide important context for price action and reversals.
The optional "Trading session length" input is mainly useful for markets with shorter sessions (e.g., European indices) and does not affect swing detection.
Open-source, free to use and modify.
How to Use the Indicator + Practical Use Case
Key Settings (Inputs)
Trading session length (hours) → Default 8.5 h (useful for FTSEMIB, DAX, etc.). Leave it as is unless you trade a market with a different session length.
Daily Swing Levels → Show/Hide daily swing highs (teal) and lows (maroon).
Weekly Swing Levels → Usually keep off on intraday charts to avoid clutter (turn on for higher-timeframe context).
Daily Candle Patterns → Enable only if you want to see US/DS/IN/OUT labels on the daily close.
Close Position (P/mP/mN/N) → Enable if you want to quickly see how strong/weak the daily close was.
What You See on the Chart
Teal circles = Last confirmed daily swing high (resistance).
Maroon circles = Last confirmed daily swing low (support).
Blue/purple circles (if enabled) = Weekly swing high/low.
Light gray background = Start of a new trading day.
Purple background (if weekly enabled) = Start of a new week.
Small labels on daily close (if enabled):
- US = strong bullish day
- DS = strong bearish day
- IN = inside bar (consolidation)
- OUT = outside bar (expansion)
- P/mP/mN/N = how far the close was from the high/low of the day.
Best Timeframes 1 min to 240 min charts → Daily levels act as major support/resistance zones for intraday trading.
Avoid using on daily or higher charts (the logic is designed for intraday context).
Why this works well intraday:
The daily swing high/low levels are high-probability zones where institutions and algorithms often defend positions. On intraday charts, they act as “magnets” for price, giving you clean entries and exits with clear invalidation levels.
This indicator keeps your chart clean while providing exactly the context most intraday traders need: key daily levels + daily momentum context.

Previous Day Candle [ApexFX]Previous Day Candle is a precision tool designed for intraday traders who rely on previous daily structures to find support and resistance.
While most indicators simply mark the previous high and low, this tool focuses on Session Continuity. It highlights the full 24-hour range of the previous day and extends those levels into the "Killzone" of the current trading day (up to 2:00 PM EST / 12:00 PM MST).
Why use this? Market reaction often occurs at the previous day's extremes. By extending these lines into the current session, you can easily spot:
Breakouts: Price pushing through yesterday's high.
Failed Auctions: Price sweeping yesterday's low and reversing.
Support/Resistance Flips: Old highs becoming new support.
Main Features:
Asset Class Presets: Don't worry about timezones. Simply select your market:
Forex: Aligns to the standard 5:00 PM EST New York Open.
Indices: Aligns to the 6:00 PM EST Globex Open.
Crypto: Aligns to UTC Midnight.
Custom: Full manual control for specific needs.
Visual "Boxing": Vertical dotted lines clearly demarcate the start and end of the previous trading day.
Dynamic History: Choose to show just yesterday's levels or look back at the last 5+ days.
Smart Color Coding: The indicator automatically cycles colors for each day (Blue = Yesterday, Green = 2 Days Ago, etc.), making it instant to read historical price action.
Best Used On: Intraday timeframes (5m, 15m, 1h).

cc AJGB Candle Range Finder with TableOverview:
The "cc AJGB Candle Range Finder with Table" is a versatile Pine Script indicator designed to identify and visualize price ranges within the 1 minute charts based on UTC+2 Time Zone. Unlike traditional range indicators, it offers three unique calculation methods to define ranges based on minute and hour interactions, displays ranges as boxes with labeled point values, and summarizes average range sizes in a customizable table. This tool is ideal for analyzing price ranges of specific time based ranges.
Features:
Customizable Time Range: Users specify a start and end minute (0-59) to define the range period (e.g., 29th to 35th minute).
Three Calculation Methods:
Minute Only: Uses the minute of each bar to identify ranges (e.g., matches user-specified minutes).
Minute - Hour: Adjusts the minute by subtracting the hour, allowing for dynamic range detection across hourly cycles.
Minute + Hour: Combines minute and hour values for a unique range calculation, useful for specific intraday patterns.
Visual Output: Draws boxes around detected ranges, with labels showing the start/end minutes and range size in points.
Summary Table: Displays the average range size (in points) for each method, with customizable position, colors, and text size.
How It Works:
The indicator evaluates each bar’s timestamp in (UTC+2 ONLY) to match user-specified minutes using one or more selected methods. When a start minute is detected, it tracks the high and low prices until the end minute, drawing a box to highlight the range and labeling it with the range size in points. A table summarizes the average range size for each method, helping traders assess typical price movements during the specified period.
Market Analysis: Compare range sizes across different methods to understand intraday volatility patterns.
Settings Customization: Adjust colors, table position, and label sizes to suit your chart preferences.
Settings:
Range to Find: Set start and end minutes.
Range Selection: Enable/disable each method and customize colors.
Range Label Size: Choose label size (Tiny to Huge).
Table Settings: Configure table position (Top, Bottom, Left, Right), sub-position, text size, and colors.
Notes:
Only works on 1 minute charts
The indicator works best using Start Times that are lower than the End Times.
Ensure the chart is set to UTC+2 Time Zone for accurate range detection.
Why It’s Unique:
Unlike standard range indicators that focus on sessions or fixed periods, this tool allows precise minute-based range detection with three distinct calculation methods, offering flexibility for data gathering. The interactive table provides quick insights into average range sizes.
