THE SQUID 1.0Introduction
Quickly test a goldfish strategy over hundreds of sessions at once.
Goldfish is based on a rejection off the open or close line after price has confirmed in a direction. the expectation is that price will continue to trend after rejecting the open/close line (also called the M7 box).
Rules and triggers
The Squid is a highly specific variation of the goldfish with more defined rules, it works like this:
1. Wait for a breakout out of a 1-hour range (DR) to provide directional bias.
2. Wait for price to return to the open/close line (the M7 box)
3. To trigger a setup price must:
a. Touch or wick through the open/close line. Then 2 subsequent closes outside the box.
b. Close inside the box and then 2 subsequent closes outside the box.
Exceptions and inclusions
1. The confirmation candle can also reject the M7 box and therefore counts as a trigger. This only counts if the confirmation candle is rejecting it with the wick (not the open).
2. Anand limit: If price triggers a setup, but doesn't provide enough RR, this feature places a limit order at the required R that is specified in the settings.
3. False session is when price has wicked or closed into one direction (confirming direction), but then later wicks into the other side of the DR. Once that happens, setups are avoided.
4. Target reached is when price has reached the specified target within the session. It's possible to exclude setups after target reached.
5. News days are possible to filter out. They include big economical events like: FOMC, Powell speeches, CPI, PPI and NFP.
Tips
- Default settings are optimized for ES. When trying on different assets, make sure to play with the settings as different assets prefer different targets, stop losses, closing times, etc.
- Soon I will release a guide on the best settings for different sessions and assets like CL, NQ and 6E, and also share all the knowledge I gained while optimizing the Goldfish setup over the past months.

Inside Bars/Candles [CodeCraftedTrading]This Pine Script indicator is designed to identify and visually represent inside bars or candles. Here's a breakdown of its features and functionality:
1. Inputs:
insideCandlesColor: Color of the inside bars or candles.
highColor: Color of the horizontal line representing the high of the inside bar.
lowColor: Color of the horizontal line representing the low of the inside bar.
showHighLowLabel: Option to display labels for the high and low prices.
2. Logic:
The script checks for the conditions of an inside bar:
high < high and low > low
If an inside bar is detected and is not already in the range:
* Stores the high and low prices of the previous bar.
* Records the parent bar index and sets the broken flag to false.
If the current bar's high exceeds the stored high or the low falls below the stored low, the broken flag is set to true.
If the current bar is within the stored high and low range, it is considered in-range.
The script then dynamically plots horizontal lines at the high and low prices of the parent bar until the inside bar is broken.
3. Visualization:
The inside bars are colored based on the insideCandlesColor.
Horizontal lines are drawn at the high and low prices of the parent bar within the inside bar.
Optional labels display the rounded values of the high and low prices.
4. Usage:
Apply the script to your chart.
Adjust the input parameters according to your preferences.
The indicator will highlight inside bars with colored bars and draw lines representing the high and low prices. Labels are optional.
5. Note:
Inside bars are bars where the entire price range is within the high and low of the previous bar.
The script uses historical bar information and visualizes the inside bars dynamically on the chart.
Imbalance indicator (Multi-TimeFrame)(USA) Imbalance Indicator (Multi-TimeFrame) is an indicator designed to visualize the imbalance between two adjacent candles on a chart by drawing rectangles. It helps identify the dominance of buyers or sellers during the price's impulsive movement in an uptrend or downtrend.
Here's how the indicator works:
It determines the trend direction (up or down) based on the closing prices of the last three candles. An uptrend is identified if all three candles closed above their openings, and a downtrend if they closed below.
Depending on the trend direction, the indicator calculates the imbalance between candles. The imbalance is expressed as the difference between the low of the next candle and the high of the previous candle for an uptrend or the low of the previous candle and the high of the next candle for a downtrend. The imbalance value should be greater than 0.
When an imbalance is detected, the indicator draws a rectangle on the chart. The rectangle starts at the candle with the detected imbalance, the upper border is at the top of the imbalance, and the lower border is at the bottom of the imbalance.
The color of the rectangle depends on the trend direction: green for an uptrend and red for a downtrend.
The rectangle continues dynamically to the right until it is intersected by the next candles by 50% or more (by default). The intersection can occur in various combinations (shadow, body, or shadow + body of the candle). Once this happens, the rectangle ends on the last overlapping candle. The height overlap percentage is adjustable in the range of 1 to 100, with a default value of 50%.
Use the Imbalance Indicator to identify potential price reversal zones. Algorithms aim to cover the imbalance and trade the range in which it formed, representing a potential magnet for the price.
In the multi-timeframe version of the indicator, along with the current timeframe, rectangles from timeframes: 15 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, and 1 day are displayed by default (and can be adjusted in settings). Other timeframes (e.g., 1 week and 1 month or 30 minutes) can be selected in the settings.
You can activate/deactivate the display of imbalances from different timeframes of your choice by setting the corresponding checkbox.
Additionally, rectangles from different timeframes have different default levels of transparency, decreasing with increasing timeframe.
Frames on additional timeframes are disabled by default in transparency settings; adjust as needed in color settings.
Like in the previous version, you can customize the color scheme of rectangles for each timeframe individually.
Information display about timeframes other than the current one on imbalances is available and can be disabled in settings for each timeframe individually.
For your convenience, in the buyers' interest zone, a label is placed at 50% of the rectangle's width, spanning 3 candles. Now you can set a limit order right at the label without relying on Fibonacci retracements.
(RUS) Imbalance indicator (Multi-TimeFrame) - это индикатор, предназначенный для визуализации имбаланса между двумя соседними свечами на графике путем рисования прямоугольников. Он помогает определить доминирование покупателей или продавцов во время импульсного движение цены на восходящем или нисходящем тренде.
Вот как работает индикатор:
Он определяет направление тренда (вверх или вниз) на основе закрытия последних трех свечей. Тренд вверх определяется, если все три свечи закрылись выше своих открытий, а тренд вниз - если ниже.
В зависимости от направления тренда, индикатор вычисляет имбаланс между свечами. Имбаланс выражается в виде разницы между низом следующей свечи и верхом предыдущей свечи для восходящего тренда или между низом предыдущей свечи и верхом следующей свечи для нисходящего тренда. Значение имбаланса должно быть больше 0.
Если имбаланс обнаружен, индикатор рисует прямоугольник на графике. Прямоугольник начинается на свече с найденным имбалансом, верхняя граница прямоугольника находится на верхней границе имбаланса, а нижняя граница - на нижней границе имбаланса.
Цвет прямоугольника зависит от направления тренда: зеленый для восходящего тренда и красный для нисходящего тренда.
Прямоугольник продолжается вправо динамически, пока его не пересекут следующие свечи на 50% или более (по умолчанию). Пересечение может произойти различными комбинациями (тень, тело или тень + тело свечи). Как только это происходит, прямоугольник заканчивается на последней перекрывающей его свече. Процент перекрытия по высоте настраивается в интервале от 1 до 100, по умолчанию значение 50%.
Используйте Imbalance Indicator для определения зон вероятного возврата цены. Алгоритмы стремятся перекрыть имбаланс и проторговать диапазон, в котором он образовался, это потенциальный магнит для цены.
В мульти-таймфреймной версии индикатора, наряду с текущим таймфреймом, при первом запуске (и до момента, пока вы не измените это в настройках), отображаются прямоугольники с таймфреймов:
15 минут,
1 час,
4 часа,
1 день.
При этом другие таймфреймы (например 1 неделя и 1 месяц или 30 минут) можно выбрать в настройках.
Вы можете активировать/деактивировать отображение имбалансов с разных таймфреймов по вашему выбору, установив соответствующую галочку.
Кроме того, прямоугольники с разных таймфреймов по умолчанию имеют различную степень прозрачности, которая уменьшается по мере увеличения таймфрейма
Рамки на дополнительных таймфреймах, по умолчанию отключены настройками прозрачности, при необходимости измените это в настройках цвета.
Как и в предыдущей версии, вы можете настраивать под себя цветовую схему прямоугольников, причём для каждого таймфрейма в отдельности.
На имбалансах с отличных от текущего таймфреймов, доступно отображение информации о таймфрейме, данная опция отключается в настройках для каждого таймфрейма в отдельности.
Для вашего удобства, в зоне интереса покупателей, на 50% прямоугольника сделана метка шириною в 3 свечи, теперь не нужно натигивать фибо, можете сразу выставить лимитку по метке.

ICT Handle CounterThe "Handle Counter" is a unique TradingView script designed for ease and effectiveness in tracking price movements. It's particularly useful for traders who follow ICT methodologies. Users manually input their trade entry price, and the script then dynamically calculates and displays the number of Handles, or price changes, in a clear box above the latest candle on the chart. This real-time updating feature provides traders with crucial, current data on price movement, aiding in informed decision-making and a better understanding of market dynamics.
The "Handle Counter" script operates in the following way:
User Input: It starts by allowing you to input your trade's entry price. This is the price level from which the script will measure price movement.
Handles Calculation: The script calculates "Handles," which represent the price difference from your entry point to the current market price. This is done using a mathematical formula that finds the absolute value of this difference.
Display Mechanism: The calculated Handles are then displayed in a box, which is positioned above the latest candle on your trading chart. This box updates in real-time, giving you an ongoing view of how many Handles (price changes) have occurred since your entry point.
This script is designed to be straightforward and easy to use, providing clear, real-time information.
How to use:
Add the Indicator.
Open the Menu by clicking on the 'Settings' icon.
Navigate to the 'Inputs' tab and enter your entry price.
Click 'OK.' The indicator should immediately place a box above the latest candle, showing the current handles.

FalconRed 3 Candlestick LevelsThis Pine Script indicator is designed to enhance price action analysis by identifying specific candle patterns that signal potential buying and selling levels. The analysis is based on the characteristics of the current candle and its two immediate predecessors.
For identifying buying levels, the script examines the wicks of the candles, highlighting areas where buying and selling struggle is evident. The indicator recognizes significant breaks above wick levels, especially when followed by a subsequent candle with a lower wick. This combination suggests that previous selling pressure has been challenged and overcome.
Buy breakout and retest levels are highlighted with green color, providing a clear visual indication of potential buying opportunities. The indicator draws horizontal lines that extend to the right, offering insights into the frequency of retests and the recurrence of similar patterns in specific price zones, thereby confirming and reinforcing the observed price action.
Similarly, the indicator scrutinizes the selling side, pinpointing breakdown and retest levels. These areas are highlighted with red color, aiding in the identification of potential selling opportunities.
This indicator serves as a valuable tool for analyzing price action levels and visualizing buying and selling areas. It can be effectively combined with other technical indicators to enhance confidence in trading decisions. Gain deeper insights into market dynamics and improve decision-making by integrating this candle pattern analysis indicator into your trading strategy.

MTF Market Structure - SMC IndicatorsThe Multi Timeframe Market Structure helps understand and identify bullish or bearish Market Structure by highlighting “KEY” Highs and Lows. It also identifies changes in market direction by identifying a “Shift in Market Structure” (See Point 2 below) or “Break in Market Structure” (See Point 3 Below).
What are Key Highs and Lows?
Not every high or low is a “Key” high or low. “Key” highs and lows are specific highs and lows that form the structure of the market and have significance in understanding the current trend in the market (see point 1 below).
The indicator identifies these “Key” highs and lows on multiple time frames, allowing the trader to keep a perspective of the Market Structure with multiple timeframes simultaneously (see point 5 below).
The key highs and lows identified by the indicator are as follows:
Key Lows : Identify significant Swing Lows, Short-term lows “STL”, Intermediate-Term Lows “ITL”, and Long-Term Lows “LTL”.
Key Highs : Identify significant Swing Highs, Short-term highs “STH”, Intermediate-Term Highs “ITH”, and Long-Term Highs “LTH”.
Significant Swing High : This is a price swing with one lower candle to the right and one lower candle to the left of it.
Significant Swing Low : This is a price swing with one higher candle to the right and one higher candle to the left of it.
Short-Term High “STH” is a price swing with one lower Significant Swing High to the right and one lower Significant Swing High to the left of it.
Short-Term Low “STL” is a price swing with one higher Significant Swing Low to the right and one higher Significant Swing Low to the left of it.
Intermediate-Term High “ITH” is a price swing with one lower STH to the right and one lower STH to the left of it.
Intermediate-Term Low “ITL” is a price swing with one higher STL to the right and one higher STL to the left of it.
Long-Term High “LTH” is a price swing with one lower ITH to the right and one lower ITH to the left of it.
Long-Term Low “ITL” is a price swing with one higher ITL to the right and one higher ITL to the left of it.
By identifying key highs and lows using the Market Structure Indicator, it can be used in multiple ways by using those reference points as follows:
1. Identifying Market Trends by Connecting Key Highs and Lows.
Bullish trend identification is when the indicator is making higher ITLs and ITHs.
Bearish Trend identification when the indicator is making lower ITLs and ITHs.
PS: it’s essential to understand the underlying market trend on multiple timeframes to use the next features correctly. Always use the Shifts and Breaks in Market Structures in line with the 1H or higher timeframes Market Trend for higher probability trade opportunities. This is because, generally, higher timeframes have more importance than lower timeframes.
2. Shift In Market Structure - SMS for Entries
A Shift in Market Structure “SMS” identifies potential reversal in short-term market trend relative to the timeframe where the SMS is identified.
This occurs after a run of any Significant Swing High or Low and then reversing, creating a Fair Value Gap “FVG”.
There can be Bullish and Bearish Market Structure Shifts.
When a Bullish Shift in Market Structure occurs, the indicator identifies an opportunity for the price to change from Bearish to Bullish, as seen in the image below.
When a Bearish Shift in Market Structure occurs, the indicator identifies an opportunity for the price to change from Bullish to Bearish.
3. Break In Market Structure - BMS for Entries
A Break in Market Structure “BMS” has a similar function to the Shift in Market Structure “SMS”; however, when it occurs, it identifies a potential longer-term trend reversal (compared to the SMS) relative to the timeframe where the BMS is identified.
Unlike “SMS”, the BMS occurs after a run only after a run on Key Highs or Lows.
Similar to the SMS, there can be Bullish and Bearish Breaks in Market Structure.
When a Bullish Break in Market Structure occurs, the indicator identifies an opportunity for a longer-term trend change from Bearish to Bullish, as seen in the image below.
The FVG must occur in the lower 50% of the impulse price leg (at Discount).
When a Bearish Break in Market Structure occurs, the indicator identifies an opportunity for a longer-term trend change from Bullish to Bearish.
The FVG must occur in the upper 50% of the impulse price leg (at Premium).
4. Inversion Break and Shift in Market Structure for Early Entries
Inversion “BMS” and “SMS” are similar to the normal SMS and BMS, but they occur:
Bullish: When the FVG of the Bearish BMS/SMS forms in the lower 50% of the impulse price leg (at Discount).
We use the FVG that forms from the Bearish SMS/BMS as an inversion FVG for potential entry after market trend change from Bearish to Bullish.
Bearish: When the FVG of the Bullish BMS/SMS forms in the upper 50% of the impulse price leg (at Premium).
We use the FVG that forms from the Bullish SMS/BMS as an inversion FVG for potential entry after market trend change from Bullish to Bearish.
5. Multi Time Frame analysis
The indicator allows multiple timeframe perspectives to be considered when using it.
The key Highs and Lows have significance not only on the current timeframe they are identified but also on lower or higher timeframes simultaneously.
This is because a ITL/ITH on the 1H means
It’s a LTL/LTH on one or more timeframes lower (15Min, 5M, and 1Min).
And at the same time, it’s a STL/STH on one timeframe higher (4H)
Also, it’s a Significant Low/High (marked with a dot) on two timeframes higher (Daily).
The same logic applies to all other Key Highs and Lows.
Another example is a Significant Low/High (swing marked with a dot below or above it) on the current timeframe (1D) means it’s a STL/STH on one timeframe lower (4H) and an ITL/ITH on two timeframes lower (1H) and a LTH/LTH on three timeframes lower or more (15M, 5M, 1Min, 30 Seconds, etc…).
This Multi-time frame analysis is a great way to help traders understand Market Structure and Market trend on multiple timeframes simultaneously, and it also assists in Top-down analysis.
PS: Note that this multi-timeframe analysis approach and logic can be applied to any timeframe and for any type of trading (swing trading, day trading, scalping, or short-term trading) because the price is fractal.
For example, if a trader is a swing trader, then it’s best to identify trader opportunities on the 1H or higher; however, lower timeframes Market Structure can still be used to help the traders refine their entries and target key highs and lows in the opposite direction.
If a trader is a day trader or a scalper, the trader could use Market Structure on 15M or lower to identify trader opportunities and target key highs and lows in the opposite direction.
6. Setting Targets
The indicator can also be used to identify potential targets after the SMS or BMS occurs. Targets can be chosen above Key Highs or Lows depending on the trade objective and timeframe where the trade idea is identified.
Bonus Features
Highlight Market Structure Trend
This feature is an excellent backtesting visual tool to look at changes in market trends highlighted in colours. These changes are based on the Shift or Break in of Market Structure depending on the selection option.

SETTINGS EXPLAINED
Minimum Lower Tail Length (%): This setting allows you to define what percentage of the total candle size should be considered a significant lower tail. This is important for identifying the Hammer pattern.
Number of Consecutive Candles (for Lower Tails): This input lets you choose how many consecutive candles with significant lower tails must be present to identify a pattern.
Percentage of Candle Below Previous Low: This setting determines what percentage of the candle's range must extend below the lowest low of a specified number of previous candles. It's used to assess the significance of a Hammer pattern.
Number of Previous Candles for Lowest Low: This decides how many previous candles the script should look at to calculate the lowest low, which is then used in the Hammer pattern analysis.
Minimum Upper Tail Length (%): Similar to the lower tail setting, this defines the significant length of an upper tail, used for identifying the Inverted Hammer pattern.
Number of Consecutive Candles (for Upper Tails): This input is for setting how many consecutive candles with significant upper tails are required to confirm an Inverted Hammer pattern.
Percentage of Candle Above Previous High: This setting is used to determine how much of the candle's range must be above the highest high of a set number of previous candles, aiding in the identification of the Inverted Hammer pattern.
Number of Previous Candles for Highest High: It specifies the number of past candles to consider for calculating the highest high, which is important for the analysis of Inverted Hammer patterns.
These settings allow you to customize how the script identifies Hammer and Inverted Hammer patterns, making it adaptable to different trading strategies and market conditions.

Peak & Valley Levels [AlgoAlpha]The Peak & Valley Levels indicator is a sophisticated script designed to pinpoint key support and resistance levels in the market. By utilizing candle length and direction, it accurately identifies potential reversal points, offering traders valuable insights for their strategies.
Core Components:
Peak and Valley Detection: The script recognizes peaks and valleys in price action. Peaks (potential resistance levels) are identified when a candle is longer than the previous one, changes direction, and closes lower, especially on lower volume. Valleys (potential support levels) are detected under similar conditions but with the candle closing higher.
Color-Coded Visualization:
Red lines mark resistance levels, signifying peaks in the price action.
Green lines indicate support levels, representing valleys.
Dynamic Level Adjustment: The script adapts these levels based on ongoing market movements, enhancing their relevance and accuracy.
Rejection Functions:
Bullish Rejection: Determines if a candlestick pattern rejects a level as potential support.
Bearish Rejection: Identifies if a pattern rejects a level as possible resistance.
Usage and Strategy Integration:
Visual Aid for Support and Resistance: The indicator is invaluable for visualizing key market levels where price reversals may occur.
Entry and Exit Points: Traders can use the identified support and resistance levels to fine-tune entry and exit points in their trading strategies.
Trend Reversal Signals: The detection of peaks and valleys serves as an early indicator of potential trend reversals.
Application in Trading:
Versatile for Various Trading Styles: This indicator can be applied across different trading styles, including swing trading, scalping, or trend-following approaches.
Complementary Tool: For best results, it should be used alongside other technical analysis tools to confirm trading signals and strategies.
Customization and Adaptability: Traders are encouraged to experiment with different settings and timeframes to tailor the indicator to their specific trading needs and market conditions.
In summary, the Peak & Valley Levels by AlgoAlpha is a dynamic and adaptable tool that enhances a trader’s ability to identify crucial market levels. Its integration of candlestick analysis with dynamic level adjustment offers a robust method for spotting potential reversal points, making it a valuable addition to any trader's toolkit.
Trailing Candle CounterThis script is for users who like to monitor and/or analyze a specified number of candles within the time the last candle closed. Al Brooks fans may enjoy this indicator.
While searching for an indicator that already had this functionality I found a script by @Steversteves which counted the candles/percentage within a set period of time. This let me know it could be done. In honor of Steversteves I kept the table the same colors - although, I added code to allow the table to be modified.
When opening the script the user will need to set a begin/end time to analyze – don't worry as you can set anything you want and it can be altered after the script is running.
This image shows the settings for a user to be able to set a begin time and have the indicator count all the candles from that time through to the current time and update at each candle close. The user can move the beginning time as needed. This is useful if the user is monitoring the length of a trend, wedge, channel, etc.:
If the indicator is in view and the beginning time is on the chart the user can select the table to view/select/change the beginning time.
This image shows the settings for a user to monitor the last set of candles since the last candle closed. This is useful if the user expects a pullback after a set number of candles or expects some alteration in a trend within a set number of candles. In this case the user setting is to watch five candles:
This setting is the reason for my creation of this indicator. This image shows the settings for a user to monitor two sets of candles. In this case an additional set of five candles has been added to the original set of five candles:
If one is watching for movements to last a certain number of bars when the first bar of the movement is exiting the background color the user can expect a change in the price momentum.
This image shows the same functionality as in Steversteves original script (although, I used almost none of his original code). The user can set a begin time and end time to analyze the number or red/green candles and the percentage of each within that time period.
If the indicator is in view and the beginning and end times are on the chart the user can select the table to view/select/change the times.
I hope you find this useful and if you have any questions/comments/suggestions for improvement please comment below.
Wave Reader v2.4.2 only GOLD/XAU/USD The WaveReader is an algorithm that works out a strategy using various indicators that have been reconfigured and as soon as certain areas/goals/triggers have been reached, this is visualized as a sell or buy signal (large triangles)
The indicator also uses the Smart Money Concept (Expo) by @Zeiierman which has been reconfigured and adapted from his open source code to perfectly fit the rest of the strategy.
The smart money concept refers to the idea that capital does not only exist in the form of financial resources, but also includes knowledge, experience and networks. In the context of investing, smart money means that investors not only provide money but also add value through their expertise, industry experience and strategic influence.
In the traditional sense, "dumb money" refers to investors who merely provide capital, without any specific knowledge or insight into the industry or company in which they are investing. In contrast, “smart money” refers to investors who not only contribute financial resources, but can also make an active contribution to the development of the company.
This concept is particularly relevant in venture capital and private equity circles, where startups and high-growth companies seek capital. Smart money investors bring not only their financial support, but also their industry-specific know-how, relationships and experience. This can help companies make strategic decisions, optimize their business models and grow successfully.
Smart money can also be used in the trading environment to indicate experienced and knowledgeable investors who trade based not only on financial analysis but also on their deep understanding of the market, industry trends and fundamental business factors.
Overall, the Smart Money Concept represents a holistic approach to investments in which not only the capital but also the intellectual resources of investors can have a significant influence on the success of a company.
Of course, everything that was built into this indicator/algo will not be revealed, but there are countless hours of optimization in this project.
Explanation of the various components of the WaveReader:
WaveReader Confluence Box (CB)
The WaveReader Confluence Box is a Confluence for swing and day trading. It also confirms our one signal.
- If the price is above a newly opened CB, a long setup is confirmed.
- If the price is below a newly opened CB, a short setup is confirmed.
The WaveReader Cloud
WaveReader Cloud is our main trend.
WaveReader signals can be traded with or without confirmation.
However, the more confirmations we have, the more likely a successful setup will be.
- Green = Bullish Trend - Large Triangle (green)
- Red = Bearish Trend - Large Triangle (red)
- Gray = Neutral Trend - avoid new positions
The Waveline
The WaveReader Waveline is a trend confirmation. The waveline shows whether a trend is strong and serves as additional confirmation of a profitable setup.
Take trades when in bullish (green) or bearish (red), avoid new trades in neutral (black).
Re-entries and take profits
Re-entries and take profits are only displayed in the chart from the 1h time frame.
- Re-entry long position = small ▲ (green)
- Re-entry short position = small ▼ (red)
- Take profit in a long position = ⨯ (green)
- Take profit in a short position = ⨯ (red)
Additional features
- Display market structure (internal and swing).
- Display of order blocks (internal and swing).
- Display of fair value gaps (pre-filtered)
- Display EQ High Low
- Trailing Stop Loss

Price SandwichFor the script in question
This script acts as an indicator that a potential short term or long term trend reversal is coming. Note that not every candle can be used as an indication and the smaller ones tend to have little to no effect, however they can be used alongside orderblocks or future support/resistance areas.
The best timeframes I've found these to be useable are on the 1m, 2m, or second charts.
You may use this as an added confluence that a trend is ending either short term or long term.
You may also decide to use this with other indicators to build further confluence.
Note that this is just something I've noticed personally most likely does not apply to all trend reversals.
Some ideas on how to use it:
If you extend a rectangle out from the block itself, you can often find the next high or low overlaps with said rectangle.
They may also overlap with a fair value gap that could make that gap have more potential.
Hope this is of use and can help with that added confluence or early warning signal of a potential reversal. This should not be used alone and it's recommended to not use this as a surefire indication of whether to take a trade.//Krindler
Script Breakdown
//@version=5 // this makes the script v5 friendly
indicator("Price Sandwich", overlay=true) //makes this script an indicator, overlay=true to make it a part of the main chart
// User input for the highlight color
userColor = input(color.green, title="Highlight Color") //This allows you to choose what color you want the candle to be in the settings
//Function to check the custom candle pattern based on whether the candle is being englulfed by both preceding and latter candle.
isCustomPattern() => //let's me look for a custom candle pattern
high > high and high < high and low < low and low > low
//this checks the candle before and the candle after to check that the candle in the middle doesn't escape the range of the candle before, or the candle afters highs and lows thus making it a sandwiched candle.
//high > high and high < high and low < low and low > low basically says: candle 1 high must be greater than candle 2 high and candle 2 high must be less than candle 3 high and candle 1 low must be less than candle 2 low and candle 2 low must be greater than candle 3 low. Thus making sure that candle 2 is within the range of candle's 1 and 3 and doesn't have a high or low that is either above or below candle 1 and 3. 'and' is the operator to make sure that all of these values must be true in order for that candle to meet the criteria of getting colored.
// Apply bar color to Sandwiched candle if candle is found.
barcolor(isCustomPattern() ? userColor : na, offset=-1) //this targets the findings from isCustomPattern() and uses the user color chosen in settings and colors the middle bar by using offset=-1, otherwise it would color candle 3, so offset goes back 1 candle to color the middle candle.
If this script is already in circulation, please let me know and i'll remove it immediately. I checked but couldn't find one that did it.
No Wick Bull/Bear Candlesticks with Arrow premiumNo Wick Bull/Bear Candlesticks with Arrow premium
This script is for a custom trading indicator called "No Wick Bull/Bear Candlesticks with Arrow premium" developed by ClearTradingMind. It is designed for use with trading platforms that support scripting, such as TradingView. This indicator combines several technical analysis tools to help traders identify potential buy and sell signals in a financial market.
Key Components of the Indicator:
Moving Average (MA): The script allows users to select from various types of moving averages (SMA, EMA, HMA, etc.), which smooth out price data to identify trends. Users can set the length and type of the moving average.
Upper and Lower Bands: These bands are set at a specified deviation percentage above and below the chosen moving average. They help in identifying overbought and oversold conditions.
No Wick Bull/Bear Candlestick Identification:
Bullish Condition: A bullish candlestick is identified when the closing price is higher than the opening price, the low equals the open, and the close is above the moving average.
Bearish Condition: A bearish candlestick is identified when the closing price is lower than the opening price, the high equals the open, and the close is below the moving average.
No Wick: These conditions also imply that the candlesticks have no wicks, suggesting strong buying or selling pressure.
Arrows for Trading Signals:
No lower wick bull bar
No upper wick bear bar
When a bullish condition is met, a green upward-pointing triangle is plotted below the candlestick, indicating a potential buy signal.
When a bearish condition is met, a red downward-pointing triangle is plotted above the candlestick, indicating a potential sell signal.
EMA 20: An additional Exponential Moving Average with a length of 20 periods is plotted for further trend analysis.
Background Color Changes: The script changes the background color to blue if the EMA 20 is above the upper band, and to red if it is below the lower band, providing visual cues about the market trend.
How It Works:
Traders can input their preferences for the moving average type and length, source of the MA (like closing prices), and the deviation percentage for the bands.
The script then calculates the moving average, upper and lower bands, and checks for bullish or bearish candlestick conditions without wicks.
When such conditions are met, it plots arrows to suggest buy or sell signals.
The EMA 20 and background color changes offer additional trend information.
Usage:
This indicator is particularly useful in markets with clear trends. The no wick bull/bear candlesticks indicate strong buying or selling pressure, and the arrows provide clear visual signals for traders to consider entering or exiting positions. As with all trading indicators, it's recommended to use this tool in conjunction with other forms of analysis to confirm trading signals.
