Secondary Candle OverlayThis simple script is meant to allow the user to select another symbol to add onto their chart and plot the candlesticks for that symbol at the selected resolution requested.
Please see the tooltip provided by the 'Secondary Symbol' input for more details with regards to properly using this script on symbols that have vastly different valuations, it will help with getting the symbol requested to scale properly with the primary symbol on the chart.
The user may also input which colors are used for bullish/bearish candles as well as the symbol itself and its resolution.
IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS SCRIPT DOES NOT ACCOUNT FOR SYMBOLS THAT ARE NOT CONTINUOUS (The defval for the symbol is TVC:DXY which closes on weekends whereas a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin does not stop trading ever; candles on these kinds of markets will be repeated when overlaid onto markets that do not have this property.)

Centered Candles [racer8]Brief 💜
This indicator allows users to more easily compare candlesticks by centering them along a zero line.
Also, I've added some moving average lines for the highs, lows, and closes for these centered candles.
Enjoy 😉
LiquidityPulse Higher Timeframe Consecutive Candle Run LevelsLiquidityPulse Higher Timeframe Consecutive Candle Run Levels
Research suggests that financial markets can alternate between trend-persistence and mean-reversion regimes, particularly at short (intraday) or very long timeframes. Extended directional moves, whether prolonged intraday rallies or sell-offs, also carry a statistically higher chance of retracing or reversing (Safari & Schmidhuber, 2025). In addition, studies examining support and resistance behaviour show that swing highs or lows formed after strong directional moves may act as structurally and psychologically important price levels, where subsequent price interactions have an increased likelihood of stalling or bouncing rather than passing through directly (Chung & Bellotti, 2021). By highlighting higher-timeframe candle runs and marking their extremal levels, this indicator aims to display areas where directional momentum previously stopped, providing contextual "watch levels" that traders may incorporate into their broader analysis.
How this information is used in the indicator:
When a sequence of consecutive higher-timeframe candles prints in the same direction, the indicator highlights the lower-timeframe chart with a green or red background, depending on whether the higher-timeframe run was bullish or bearish. The highest high (for a bull run) or lowest low (for a bear run) of that sequence forms a recent extremum, and this value is plotted as a swing-high or swing-low level. These levels appear only after the required number of consecutive higher-timeframe candles (set by the user) have closed, and they continue updating as long as the higher-timeframe streak remains intact. A level "freezes" and stops updating only when an opposite-colour higher-timeframe candle closes (e.g., a red candle ending a bull run, or a green candle ending a bear run). Once frozen, the level remains fixed to preserve that structural information for future analysis or retests. The number of past bull/bear levels displayed on the chart is also adjustable in the settings.
Why capture a level after a long directional run:
When price moves in one direction for several consecutive candles (e.g. 4, 5, or more), it reflects strong directional bias, often associated with momentum, liquidity imbalance, or liquidity grabs. Once that sequence breaks, the final level reached marks a point of exhaustion or structural resistance/support, where that bias failed to continue. These inflection points are often used by traders and trading algorithms to assess potential reversals, retests, or breakout setups. By freezing these levels once the run ends, the indicator creates a map of historically significant price zones, allowing traders to observe how price behaves around them over time.
Additional information displayed by the indicator:
Each detected run includes a label showing the run length (the number of consecutive higher-timeframe candles in the streak) along with the source timeframe used for detection. The indicator also displays an overstretch marker: this numerical value appears when the total size of the candle bodies within the run exceeds a user-defined multiple of the average higher-timeframe body size (default: 1.5x). This helps highlight runs that were unusually strong or extended relative to typical volatility. You can also enable alerts that trigger when this overstretch ratio exceeds a higher threshold.
Key Settings
Timeframe: Choose which HTF to analyse (e.g., 15m, 1h, 4h)
Minimum Candle Run Length: Define how many consecutive candles are needed to trigger a level (e.g., 4)
Overstretch Settings: Customize detection threshold and alert trigger (in multiples of average body size)
Background Tints: Enable/disable visual highlights for bull and bear runs
Display Capacity: Choose how many past bull/bear levels to show
How Traders Can Use This Indicator
Traders can:
-Watch levels for retests, reversals, breakouts, or consolidation
-Identify areas where price showed strong directional conviction
-Spot extended or aggressive moves based on overstretch detection
-Monitor how price reacts when retesting prior run levels
-Build confluence with your existing levels, zones, or indicators

SwRp – HTF Candle Box OverlaySwRp – HTF Candle Box Overlay gives you a clear visual map of higher-timeframe candles directly on your lower-timeframe chart. Instead of switching timeframes, you can see the structure of each HTF candle plotted as colored boxes that update in real time as the candle forms.
Each HTF candle is drawn using two elements:
• A wick box showing the full high-to-low range
• A body box showing the open-to-close move with automatic bull/bear coloring
Both boxes follow the exact HTF open, high, low and close values, and they stay correctly anchored to price using bar-time positioning. You can customize opacity, body/wick visibility, border color, and the number of HTF candles to keep on the chart. The indicator automatically removes older candles when they exceed your set limit, so the chart stays clean.
This tool is ideal for traders who want to see HTF structure, zones, and candle behavior while analyzing entries and exits on smaller timeframes.
Key Features
• Overlay higher-timeframe candles on lower-timeframe charts
• Real-time updating of HTF candle body and wick
• Bull/bear body coloring with full opacity controls
• Independent toggles for body and wick fills
• Automatically remove older HTF candles to keep the chart clean
• Accurate price anchoring using bar-time for all boxes
• No extra lines, labels, or clutter — a clean visual multi-timeframe view
This indicator offers a simple, clear way to track the behavior of higher-timeframe candles without leaving your current chart, helping you combine HTF context with LTF execution more effectively.
HTF Candle Profile [ChartPrime]⯁ OVERVIEW
The HTF Candle Profile visualizes higher-timeframe candle structure and its internal volume distribution directly on lower-timeframe charts. It automatically detects changes in higher-timeframe periods (daily, weekly, or monthly) and constructs a complete volume profile for each, allowing traders to see how volume is distributed across the range of that higher-timeframe candle. This helps identify whether momentum is supported by real volume strength or trapped price movement.
⯁ LOGIC
When a new higher-timeframe candle begins, the indicator starts collecting data for its open, high, low, close, and volume range.
Once sufficient bars have passed (defined by the Min Period Profile input), it calculates a full profile using adaptive bin sizing derived from the range (High–Low) and ATR for scaling precision.
The resulting bins represent the volume concentration at each price level of that higher-timeframe candle.
A Point of Control (PoC) is highlighted — the level where the most volume occurred.
The indicator then draws the higher-timeframe candle body and wicks at the chart’s right side, giving visual context of bullish or bearish sentiment.
⯁ FEATURES
Automatic HTF Detection: Identifies new Daily, Weekly, or Monthly periods and updates profiles in real time.
Dynamic Bin Calculation: Automatically adjusts bin size based on ATR and candle height for accurate volume granularity.
Volume Profile Rendering: Displays colored volume bars extending from the candle, showing where trading activity was concentrated.
Higher-Timeframe Candle Representation: Plots the full HTF candle (open, close, high, low) on the right side of the chart for visual clarity.
PoC Level & Labels: Marks the point of maximum volume within the candle profile with a line and volume label.
Configurable Levels: Toggle display of Open, Close, High, Low, and PoC for each higher-timeframe segment.
Color-coded Sentiment: Candle and profile colors reflect bullish or bearish momentum.
⯁ CONCLUSION
The HTF Candle Profile bridges lower- and higher-timeframe analysis by embedding high-resolution volume data within each major candle. It enables traders to see where liquidity and trading activity cluster inside higher-timeframe structures — revealing whether trends are volume-backed or hollow. Perfect for combining structural insight with volume confluence when analyzing market sentiment transitions across timeframes.
Countdown & Candle Recap DashboardThis script provides a compact dashboard showing a countdown timer and a recap of the previous candles. Ideal for traders who want to monitor short-term price action and candle behavior across different timeframes.
Features: • Countdown display for current candle • Summary of previous candles (PrevCndl1, PrevCndl2) • TimeFrame Recap section for quick analysis
Designed for scalpers, intraday traders, and anyone who values precision timing and candle structure.
Highlight Candle Body ≤ 10 Ticks (Clean & Subtle)Purpose:
This indicator highlights candlesticks where the body size (difference between open and close) is 10 ticks or less, specifically for instruments like Crude Oil futures (CL) where 1 tick = 0.01.
How it works:
It calculates the body size: abs(close - open)
If the body is ≤ 0.10 (10 ticks), the candle is softly colored in muted orange.
Wicks are ignored — only the body is considered.
No additional shapes or markers — clean and minimal.
Use case:
Helps identify periods of indecision or low momentum — such as potential pause candles, traps, or setups just before volatility returns.
Circular Candlestick ChartAn original (but impractical) way to represent a candlestick chart using circles arc.
The most recent candles are further away from the circle origin. Note that OHLC values follow a clockwise direction. A higher arc length would indicate candles with a higher body or wick range.
The Length settings determine the number of past candles to be included in the circular candlestick chart. The Width setting control the width of the circular chart. The Spacing setting controls the space between each arcs. Finally, the Precision settings allow obtaining a more precise representation of candles, with lower values returning more precise results, however, more precision requires a higher amount of lines. Settings are quite hard to adjust, using a higher length might require a lower spacing value.
Additionally, the script includes two pointers indicating the location of the 75 (in blue) and 25 (in orange) percentiles. This allows obtaining an estimate of the current market sentiment, with the most recent arcs laying closer to the 75 percentile pointer indicating an up-trend.
This new way to represent candlesticks might be useful to more easily identify candles clusters or to find new price patterns. Who knows, we know that new ways to see prices always stimulate traders imagination.
See you next year.
Stochastic RSI Heat Candles OverlayThis script is based on the Stochastic RSI indicator.
Candles are dynamically colored with a customizable RGB shading directly generated from the average Stochastic RSI current value.
By default, colors represent the following status -> green is overgought & red is oversold.
Options:
Shading colors: Choose between Red/Green, Green/Blue, and Blue/Red shadings to represent the SRSI heat.
Invert colors: Switch colors of the selected shading.
Third color: Select a value from 0 to 255 for the third color which does not vary.
Transparency: Select the transparency value.
Overlay style : Choose to color the whole candle, or only borders and wick.
Show candle side: If you choose to fully fill candles with the SRSI heat color , enable this option to plot shapes representing the candles directions.
Candle marks colors: Select bull and bear colors for direction shapes.
Overbought and Oversold situations are also represented by colored shapes at the top of the chart.
Standards Stochastic RSI parameters.
Examples:
Notes:
Do not forget to bring the script to the front of your chart to avoid being covered by default candles.
Next improvements would probably be a better coloring algorithm, however, do not hesitate to suggest any modifications in comments.
Initially, I shared a Stochastic RSI Heat Bollinger Bands indicator which gave me the idea to develop this one, you can find it on my profile.

Bull/Bear CandleThis script will display a small triangle under the latest two candles to indicate whether that candle is bullish or bearish based on the following definition.
A bullish candle closes in the top portion of the trading range of the candle while a bearish candle closes in the bottom portion of the trading range of the candle.
The cutoff is currently set at 65% (you can adjust it) so the close must be outside or equal to 65% of the trading range to be considered bullish or bearish. If less than 65% the triangle will indicate a neutral candle.
Colours are;
green triangle = bullish candle
red triangle = bearish candle
yellow triangle = neutral candle
I hope this helps those using TraderCobb's cradle strategy.

12 Band Volume matched Candles📌 12 Band Volume matched Candles (Official Description)
12 Band Volume matched Candles is a next-generation volume-strength visualisation tool designed for traders who rely on precision, speed, and clarity.
Instead of colouring candles by price action or relative indicators, this script maps every candle to one of 12 absolute-volume strength bands, using real contract/share volume thresholds that you define.
No guessing.
No subjective smoothing.
No repainting.
Just pure, clean, calibrated volume pressure — visualised instantly.
🔥 Why This Indicator Exists
Traditional volume colouring is vague, delayed, or tied to assumptions (like moving averages).
Scalpers, orderflow watchers, and tape-readers all know the truth:
👉 The raw size of volume matters more than relative volume.
This tool removes all ambiguity and lets you define exact thresholds that match the behaviour of your market:
5k volume
10k volume
20k
35k
50k
70k
… all the way to
200k+ (or whatever instrument volume you want)
Those thresholds map to a 12-band spectrum, ranging from the coldest low-volume purples to the hottest high-volume reds.
The result?
A visual system that lets you read volume pressure instantly, the same way our RSI 12-band spectrum lets you read momentum immediately.
🎨 Premium 12-Band Colour Spectrum
This indicator uses the same refined colour spectrum as the In The Zone RSI – 12 Band script:
Weak Volume (Bands 1–6) – Cold Side
Ultra-dark violet
Deep purples
Cool blues
Light icy blue
Strong Volume (Bands 7–12) – Hot Side
Warm yellows
Oranges
Orange-reds
Deep maroons
Ultra-dark red for max volume
You instantly know:
When volume is dying
When volume is building
When a trend is being pushed
When a breakout has REAL participation
When a reversal is weak or strong
Your brain doesn’t need to “interpret” numbers — just read the colours.
⚙️ Key Features
✔ 12 Custom Volume Thresholds
Set exact volume values that match your instrument.
A perfect companion for multi-indicator visual alignment.
✔ Borders-Only Mode
Keep your chart clean and still read volume strength.
✔ Adjustable Brightness & Opacity

🚀 Who It’s For
This tool is extremely powerful for:
Scalpers
Momentum traders
Orderflow readers
Breakout traders
Reversal hunters
Algo / quant-style chart readers
Anyone who trades with candle-flow awareness
If you rely on the “feel” of a chart, volume rhythm, or momentum pressure — this indicator becomes a cheat-code.
🎯 Practical Uses
Spot when large players enter a move
Filter weak vs strong pullbacks
Confirm breakout candles
See exhaustion before reversals
Separate noise from real interest
Pair with IZ RSI + price structure for elite scalp precision
⭐ Why Traders Love It
Because it's clear.
Instant.
And it treats volume as the truth, not something to smooth or average.
This is how scalpers and tape-readers naturally think — now in a visual form.
🔥 Final Line
12 Band Volume matched Candles turns raw volume into a crystal-clear language.
Once you see volume this way, you will never go back to traditional colouring again.

Stochastic CandlesIn this indicator I have transformed the %K line into adjustable candles. Because of this I have increased the length of the %D line to be more useful in this context. It is worth noting that you get the same momentum indication as %D set to 4 just because of the default candle transform setting. Incase you need to brush up on how stoch works here is the built in summery.
The Stochastic Oscillator (STOCH) is a range bound momentum oscillator. The Stochastic indicator is designed to display the location of the close compared to the high/low range over a user defined number of periods. Typically, the Stochastic Oscillator is used for three things; Identifying overbought and oversold levels, spotting divergences and also identifying bull and bear set ups or signals.
3 or more consecutive candles
This indicator Colors in candles if there are 3 or more consecutive bearish or bullish candles.
If you are familiar with the BTMM/Stacey Burke Trading concept of expecting a stop hunt after 3 cycles of rise/fall this indicator may be useful to you.
I'm new to coding/making indicators so the code may not be as polished so please bare with me, I am in the process of learning :)
Eventually I'll make it so that you can edit the minimum and maximum number of candles needed for it to be colored, but it may take a long time lol.
EM_RSI Gradient Candles
I've missed the beautiful trend visualization of Heiken Ashi candles ever since I first learned they don't play well with other indicators largely due to the method with which they're plotted.
I wanted to color code a gradient onto candles to help visualize trend strength, and the Relative Strength Index was the first thing to come to mind. For coloring, it's possible the new color.from_gradient function would have worked, but I couldn't guarantee a highly customizable indicator with a single gradient so I took a more classic approach.
First, RSI was calculated using Tradingview's built-in RSI code.
Then I broke down the RSI's range of 1-100 into 10 tiers and assigned each a color option with the ability to turn any particular tier off if desired.
I found it to be extremely modular and helpful in visualizing both trend strength and identifying potential trend reversals due to a reduction in strength.
You can use it on every candle to help inform decisions, or keep all but <10 and >90 turned off so that it only changes candle color during the most extreme trends.
Or anything in between!
This is my first self-coded indicator so I'm already proud.
Please let me know what you think, and feel free to suggest improvements for future versions in the comments!
NSDT Trend CandlesThis script changes the color of the candles based on uptrend (green), downtrend (red), neutral/chop (yellow). It uses an ATR and Pivots to determine the direction, or lack of. Since all markets move differently and market volatility changes, you will need to adjust the settings to find a potential match for the day. It's pretty simple to use. Just enter in the direction of the trend and exit (or reverse) when the candle color changes.
GMS: Candlestick Patterns with RSI FilterI wanted to apply an RSI filter to some of the new Candlestick Patterns (in the indicators tab) since some of them looked to be quite effective for picking reversals. Turns out it's a pretty good pairing.
You can modify the RSI length in addition to the upper and lower thresholds. I also added in check boxes to combine different bullish and bearish patterns.
The candlestick patterns included are:
1. Long Upper Shadow
2. Long Lower Shadow
3. Doji
4. Bullish Harami
5. Bearish Harami
6. Bullish Engulfing
7. Bearish Engulfing
Hope it helps!
