HTF Big Candle ProjectionsWhat it does
This indicator overlays higher-timeframe (HTF) “big candles” at the right edge of any chart and keeps them perfectly parallel with price while you zoom or pan. In End-of-Chart (EOC) mode, all objects are anchored by bar index (not time) and clamped to TradingView’s ≤500 bars into the future rule, so they move 1:1 with the chart—no drift, no lag. A fallback mode preserves time-anchored labels if you prefer them.
Why it’s different / useful
Most MTF overlays drift when you scale or pan because they anchor by time or mix coordinate systems. This script anchors every end-of-chart object (bodies, wicks, OHLC guide lines, labels, range readout) in bar-index space, so the overlay scales identically to real bars. It also includes a safe-clamp to the 500-bar forward limit, automatic TF mapping for D/W/M charts, and optional projections from the previous HTF candle.
How it works (technical overview)
HTF data: The indicator fetches HTF OHLC using request.security() (no lookahead) and updates the current HTF candle live on each chart bar.
EOC placement (ON): Big candles are rendered with index-anchored boxes + wicks (box.new + line.new). X-positions are computed from bar_index + offset, then clamped to stay within the forward limit.
Fallback placement (OFF): Label coordinates switch to time-anchored for familiarity; candle bodies remain parallel via index logic.
OHLC helpers: Optional high/low/close guide lines extend right from the active HTF candle; OHLC labels and a range label can be placed to the side; a remaining-time widget shows how long until the HTF bar closes.
No lookahead / repaint caveat: The current HTF candle naturally evolves until it closes; that’s expected behavior for real-time HTF overlays.
Inputs & features
Place at end of chart (EOC mode toggle): index-anchored layout with ≤500-bar clamp.
Right Candle Timeframe: auto-map for D/W/M (D→W, W→M, M→3M) or set manually.
Offsets & width: right-edge offset (bars), left-candle offset, body width (bars), minimum gap between candles.
Wicks: show/hide (fallback mode draws wicks; index mode draws them via lines).
OHLC guide lines: toggle H/L/C, choose style/width/color, with right-side projection distance.
OHLC labels: side selection, text size, background/text colors, side offset.
Range label: toggle, side offset, size; option to show pip units (1/mintick).
Prev candle projections: optional HTF high/low lines from the left candle.
Remaining-time panel: live countdown to the HTF bar close.
Colors: bullish/bearish bodies and wicks.
How to use
Add to any chart (works best on intraday charts when viewing D/W/M candles).
Keep “Place at end of chart” ON for perfect parallel tracking while zooming/panning.
Choose Right Candle Timeframe (or use auto for D/W/M).
Adjust Body Width and Label/Line Offsets to taste. If you push offsets too far, the script auto-clamps objects to respect the 500-bar forward limit.
Optionally enable Prev Candle HL projections, OHLC labels, and the Range readout.
Publish with a clean chart so the overlay is easy to understand at a glance.
Notes & limitations
Forward plotting limit: TradingView only allows drawing ≤500 bars into the future. The script clamps all end-of-chart objects automatically; if you request more, it will shorten projections to remain compliant.
Sessions & symbols: Exotic sessions or illiquid symbols may produce uneven HTF boundaries. If needed, set the Right Candle Timeframe manually.
No signals, no promises: This is a visualization tool—it does not generate trade signals or promise performance. Use it alongside your own analysis and risk management.
Settings quick reference
EOC mode: ON (index-anchored) / OFF (time-anchored labels).

Author’s note on originality
This script focuses on bar-index anchored EOC rendering with comprehensive forward-clamping and dual label modes, aiming to solve the common drift/desync issues seen in MTF overlays during chart scaling.
Candles
Precision Candle Marker – OL/OH/OC ScreenerThis indicator highlights high-probability precision candles on any perpetual contract, designed especially for scalpers and short-term traders.
It marks three unique candle setups on the 1-minute chart (works on other timeframes too):
🟢 Open = Low (OL) → Strong bullish momentum, buyers took control instantly.
🔴 Open = High (OH) → Strong bearish momentum, sellers took control instantly.
🔵 Open = Close (OC) → Doji / indecision candle, potential reversal or continuation signal.
Use cases:
Identify breakout entry points in uptrend/downtrend.
Filter noise and focus on precision candles.
Combine with trend indicators (EMA, VWAP, RSI) for confirmation.
This tool is best suited for scalping perpetual contracts (e.g., BTCUSDT, ETHUSDT) but works on any symbol and timeframe.

CNS - RSI CandlesPlots RSI candles instead of a line, although user still has option to use line type RSI.
My version corrects inconsistencies I have found in all the other available RSI candle indicators and should be more accurate.
Both options allow use of fast and slow double EMAs for crossover strategies.
User also has the option to apply Heikin-Ashi smoothing to the RSI candles without having to use Heikin-Ashi candles on the main price chart for the underlying ticker.
The Bravo KitThe Bravo Suite is an all-encompassing toolset that provides traders with various indicators and technical analysis tools. It is designed for ease of use, with simple inputs and intuitive visuals, to assist the average trader in making informed decisions. This guide will provide an overview of the different features included in the Bravo Suite and delve into some of the more intricate details.
Features of the Bravo Suite
Bravo Candles
These candles provide a unique way of visualizing price action by color-coding the candles based on their angle relative to the past price. Users have the option to enable or disable the Bravo Candles theme.
As shown below purple shades start to appear when price is overextended - leveraging the trend angle calculation:
Bravo Sequential
The Bravo Sequential system is a unique take on the traditional 9 count system that aims to identify potential trend exhaustion points. The major difference in the Bravo Sequential is that it uses the trend angle once again, instead of the generic method of counting candlesticks. By incorporating trend angle, it can potentially provide better insights into the momentum behind the current price trend and identify trend exhaustion points more effectively.
This approach allows the Bravo Sequential system to take into account not only the number of consecutive price increases or decreases but also the strength of these movements. Consequently, it can provide a more accurate depiction of the underlying trend, especially if the momentum of the price action is changing.
While the traditional 9 count system only counts the number of sequential candles based on consecutive higher or lower closes, the Bravo Sequential system uses the angle of the trend to identify if the trend is losing strength. It displays a 9 count when it detects a possible trend exhaustion point, accompanied by an optional label for better visibility on the chart.
+ Icons are also produced at the custom 9 count levels making it clearer to see these potential exhaustion zones.
Bravo Fibonacci Bands
The Bravo Fibonacci Bands are an advanced and innovative feature of the Bravo Suite, specifically designed to offer a more precise and dynamic price channel using a custom blend of Fibonacci numbers and weighted averages. This powerful combination allows traders to observe potential support and resistance levels, providing valuable insights into market direction and price movements.
Fibonacci numbers are a well-known and incredibly important concept in mathematics, with various applications in trading and technical analysis.
The Bravo Suite harnesses the power of Fibonacci numbers in the Bravo Fibonacci Bands by building a custom low lag weighted average from the input length. This is achieved by applying the metallic mean (also known as the "golden mean" or "silver mean") to the input series. By leveraging Fibonacci numbers in this manner, the weighted average effectively shifts more weight to the most recent values, emphasizing the importance of the current market trend.
The Bravo Fibonacci Bands dynamically adjust to the ever-changing market conditions, offering the trader an powerful level of precision in identifying crucial price levels. This approach blends the best of both worlds.
The end result is a reliable, easy-to-read price channel that gives traders the confidence to make informed decisions no matter what the market throws their way.
Moving Averages
The Bravo 9 Moving Average is included in the suite, alongside other useful Moving Averages for various timeframes, such as 200-day Moving Average, and 200-week Moving Average. Traders can toggle the visibility of each Moving Average. These are custom designed lower lag moving averages designed as assistive and supporting features in the toolkit.
Intrabar Volume Delta — RealTime + History (Stocks/Crypto/Forex)Intrabar Volume Delta Grid — RealTime + History (Stocks/Crypto/Forex)
# Short Description
Shows intrabar Up/Down volume, Delta (absolute/relative) and UpShare% in a compact grid for both real-time and historical bars. Includes an MTF (M1…D1) dashboard, contextual coloring, density controls, and alerts on Δ and UpShare%. Smart historical splitting (“History Mode”) for Crypto/Futures/FX.
---
# What it does (Quick)
* **UpVol / DownVol / Δ / UpShare%** — visualizes order-flow inside each candle.
* **Real-time** — accumulates intrabar volume live by tick-direction.
* **History Mode** — splits Up/Down on closed bars via simple or range-aware logic.
* **MTF Dashboard** — one table view across M1, M5, M15, M30, H1, H4, D1 (Vol, Up/Down, Δ%, Share, Trend).
* **Contextual opacity** — stronger signals appear bolder.
* **Label density** — draw every N-th bar and limit to last X bars for performance.
* **Alerts** — thresholds for |Δ|, Δ%, and UpShare%.
---
# How it works (Real-Time vs History)
* **Real-time (open bar):** volume increments into **UpVolRT** or **DownVolRT** depending on last price move (↑ goes to Up, ↓ to Down). This approximates live order-flow even when full tick history isn’t available.
* **History (closed bars):**
* **None** — no split (Up/Down = 0/0). Safest for equities/indices with unreliable tick history.
* **Approx (Close vs Open)** — all volume goes to candle direction (green → Up 100%, red → Down 100%). Fast but yields many 0/100% bars.
* **Price Action Based** — splits by Close position within High-Low range; strength = |Close−mid|/(High−Low). Above mid → more Up; below mid → more Down. Falls back to direction if High==Low.
* **Auto** — **Stocks/Index → None**, **Crypto/Futures/FX → Approx**. If you see too many 0/100 bars, switch to **Price Action Based**.
---
# Rows & Meaning
* **Volume** — total bar volume (no split).
* **UpVol / DownVol** — directional intrabar volume.
* **Delta (Δ)** — UpVol − DownVol.
* **Absolute**: raw units
* **Relative (Δ%)**: Δ / (Up+Down) × 100
* **Both**: shows both formats
* **UpShare%** — UpVol / (Up+Down) × 100. >50% bullish, <50% bearish.
* Helpful icons: ▲ (>65%), ▼ (<35%).
---
# MTF Dashboard (🔧 Enable Dashboard)
A single table with **Vol, Up, Down, Δ%, Share, Trend (🔼/🔽/⏭️)** for selected timeframes (M1…D1). Great for a fast “panorama” read of flow alignment across horizons.

# How to use (Quick Start)
1. Add the indicator to your chart (overlay=false → separate pane).
2. **History Mode**:
* Crypto/Futures/FX → keep **Auto** or switch to **Price Action Based** for richer history.
* Stocks/Index → prefer **None** or **Price Action Based** for safer splits.
3. **Label Density**: start with **Limit to last X bars = 30–150** and **Show every N-th bar = 2–4**.
4. **Contextual Coloring**: keep on to emphasize strong Δ% / Share moves.
5. **Dashboard**: enable and pick only the TFs you actually use.
6. **Alerts**: set thresholds (ideas below).
---
# Alerts (in TradingView)
Add alert → pick this indicator → choose any of:
* **Delta exceeds threshold** (|Δ| > X)
* **UpShare above threshold** (UpShare% > X)
* **UpShare below threshold** (UpShare% < X)
* **Relative Delta above +X%**
* **Relative Delta below −X%**
**Starter thresholds (tune per symbol & TF):**
* **Crypto M1/M5**: Δ% > +25…35 (bullish), Δ% < −25…−35 (bearish)
* **FX (tick volume)**: UpShare > 60–65% or < 40–35%
* **Stocks (liquid)**: set **Absolute Δ** by typical volume scale (e.g., 50k / 100k / 500k)
---
# Notes by Market Type
* **Crypto/Futures**: 24/7 and high liquidity — **Price Action Based** often gives nicer history splits than Approx.
* **Forex (FX)**: TradingView volume is typically **tick volume** (not true exchange volume). Treat Δ/Share as tick-based flow, still very useful intraday.
* **Stocks/Index**: historical tick detail can be limited. **None** or **Price Action Based** is a safer default. If you see too many 0/100% shares, switch away from Approx.
---
# “All Timeframes” accuracy
* Works on **any TF** (M1 → D1/W1).
* **Real-time accuracy** is strong for the open bar (live accumulation).
* **Historical accuracy** depends on your **History Mode** (None = safest, Approx = fastest/simplest, Price Action Based = more nuanced).
* The MTF dashboard uses `request.security` and therefore follows the same logic per TF.
---
# Trade Ideas (Use-Cases)
* **Scalping (M1–M5)**: a spike in Δ% + UpShare>65% + rising total Vol → momentum entries.
* **Intraday (M5–M30–H1)**: when multiple TFs show aligned Δ%/Share (e.g., M5 & M15 bullish), join the trend.
* **Swing (H4–D1)**: persistent Δ% > 0 and UpShare > 55–60% → structural accumulation bias.
---
# Advantages
* **True-feeling live flow** on the open bar.
* **Adaptable history** (three modes) to match data quality.
* **Clean visual layout** with guides, compact numbers, contextual opacity.
* **MTF snapshot** for quick bias read.
* **Performance controls** (last X bars, every N-th bar).
---
# Limitations & Care
* **FX uses tick volume** — interpret Δ/Share accordingly.
* **History Mode is an approximation** — confirm with trend/structure/liquidity context.
* **Illiquid symbols** can produce noisy or contradictory signals.
* **Too many labels** can slow charts → raise N, lower X, or disable guides.
---
# Best Practices (Checklist)
* Crypto/Futures: prefer **Price Action Based** for history.
* Stocks: **None** or **Price Action Based**; be cautious with **Approx**.
* FX: pair Δ% & UpShare% with session context (London/NY) and volatility.
* If labels overlap: tweak **Row Spacing** and **Text Size**.
* In the dashboard, keep only the TFs you actually act on.
* Alerts: start around **Δ% 25–35** for “punchy” moves, then refine per asset.
---
# FAQ
**1) Why do some closed bars show 0%/100% UpShare?**
You’re on **Approx** history mode. Switch to **Price Action Based** for smoother splits.
**2) Δ% looks strong but price doesn’t move — why?**
Δ% is an **order-flow** measure. Price also depends on liquidity pockets, sessions, news, higher-timeframe structure. Use confirmations.
**3) Performance slowdown — what to do?**
Lower **Limit to last X bars** (e.g., 30–100), increase **Show every N-th bar** (2–6), or disable **Draw Guide Lines**.
**4) Dashboard values don’t “match” the grid exactly?**
Dashboard is multi-TF via `request.security` and follows the history logic per TF. Differences are normal.

With smart history splitting, an MTF dashboard, contextual emphasis, and flexible alerts, it helps you spot momentum and bias across Crypto, Forex (tick volume), and Stocks. Tidy labels and compact numbers keep the panel readable and fast.
Real Close Overlay for Heiken AshiDescription:
The Real Close on Heiken Ashi indicator solves one of the biggest problems traders face when using Heiken Ashi candles, the fact that the displayed close is not the true market close.
By default, Heiken Ashi modifies the open, high, low, and close values to create smoother-looking candles. This makes them great for identifying trends, but it also means entries and exits can be misleading if you rely only on the chart.
This tool fixes that by overlaying the real closing price (traditional candlestick close) directly onto your Heiken Ashi chart.
How It Works:
- Plots the true closing price of each bar (from standard candles) onto your Heiken Ashi chart.
- Displays a small, unobtrusive marker (black dot by default) so you can instantly see where price actually closed. Not only does it plot the close, but it moves with real price as the candle is forming so price action is not lost.
- Updates in real time with every new bar.
Why It Matters:
- Use Heiken Ashi for trend clarity without losing price accuracy.
- Avoid entering/exiting based on inaccurate Heiken Ashi body closes.
- Improves stop-loss and take-profit placement by showing where price truly ended the candle.
- Essential for scalpers and short-term traders who need precision without losing true price action.
Best Uses:
- Combine with Heiken Ashi for momentum trading.
- Verify breakout confirmations against the real close.
- Use as an execution reference if you trade a HA-based system.

Balanced Big Wicks (50/50) HighlighterDetects candles with unusually long, balanced upper and lower wicks—a potential sign of market indecision followed by strong breakout action.
What It Does
Identifies candles where both upper and lower wicks each account for at least a configurable percentage (e.g., 30–40%) of the total range, and where the body remains small—creating the classic “balanced wick” (50/50) appearance.
Marks these candles visually with color (bullish/bearish), optional background shading, and a tiny “50/50” label above the candle.
Why It’s Useful
Balanced wicks often precede decisive moves once price breaks either wick. This script highlights such opportunities systematically.
Helpful for traders looking for clean entry signals: long on close above the upper wick, short on close below the lower wick—with straightforward risk management (SL at opposite wick, TP 1:1).
Key Inputs (default values shown in parentheses)
Min wick % (each side): 30%
Max body %: 20%
Equality tolerance: 10%
Min range filter (ATR multiples): 0 (disable)
ATR length: 14
Color candles: On
Background highlight: Off by default
Plot label on candle: On
Adjust these to fit your preferred timeframe or instrument (e.g., raise wick thresholds or ATR filter for noisy 15‑minute altcoin charts; relax slightly for smoother 1‑hour BTC analysis).
Alerts
Three alert options included:
“50/50 Wick (Any)” — triggers on any balanced-wick candle.
“50/50 Wick (Bullish)” — only when the candle closes bullish (upper close).
“50/50 Wick (Bearish)” — only when the candle closes bearish (lower close).
How to Use It
Add the indicator to your chart.
Adjust input settings to suit the timeframe or trading style.
Watch for highlighted candles.
Optional alert: create alerts using one of the provided alert conditions (e.g., “50/50 Wick (Any)”) with “Once per bar close” to get notified when signal bars appear.
Use your own trade logic (e.g., breakout entries as described above).
Disclaimer & Originality
Original Concept: I built this script from scratch to highlight a specific candle structure often used by traders in breakout setups—long balanced wicks with small bodies.
No external code references; it’s entirely open-source and self-explanatory.
Note: This indicator highlights potential setups—not financial advice. Always backtest any strategy, and use sound risk management. Past patterns do not guarantee future success.
Optimized Settings for 5m–15m Scalping
Min wick % (each side): 0.30
→ Forces both wicks to be almost half the candle each. Very strict.
Max body % of range: 0.40
→ Candle body must be ≤10% of full range = almost a doji.
Equality tolerance: 0.1
→ Wicks must be within 5% of each other relative to full candle size.
Min range filter (ATR multiples): 0
→ Candle must be at least 1.2× bigger than recent average (ATR14). Filters out weak fake dojis.
ATR Length: 14 (standard, stable)
Color candles / Plot labels: On (so you clearly see them)
Background highlight: Optional
VSA Super Candles
🎯 Overview
This Pine Script was developed for VSA (Volume Spread Analysis) with a well-defined hierarchical priority system. The code identifies different types of market events based on volume, spread, and price behavior, painting candles with specific colors according to their importance.
🏗️ System Architecture
Priority System (Hierarchical)
🔴 Climatic Event (Red) - Maximum Priority
🟠 Big Boss (Orange) - Second Priority
🟣 Compression (Purple) - Third Priority
⚫ Normal (Gray) - Lowest Priority
📊 Event Types
🔴 Climatic Event (Red)
Characteristics:
Ultra-high volume (default: 310% of average)
Wide spread (above configured threshold)
"Wrong" close (opposite to bar direction)
Specific conditions:
Up bar that closes at low (Selling Climax)
Down bar that closes at high (Buying Climax)
VSA Concept: Represents extreme exhaustion of one side of the market, usually marking important reversal points.
🟠 Big Boss (Orange)
Characteristics:
Ultra-high volume (default: 250% of average)
Significant price displacement
Wide spread with real movement of candle body
Activated only when there's no Climatic Event
VSA Concept: Massive volume generating real displacement, indicating entry/exit of large players.
🟣 Compression (Purple)
Characteristics:
Average volume (between normal and high)
Signs of exhaustion or reversal
Differential: Horizontal volume analysis
Activation conditions:
Upthrust (higher high, closes down)
Minor selling climax (lower low, closes up)
Horizontal volume spike + average volume
VSA Concept: Support/resistance test with controlled volume, frequently precedes important movements.
⚫ Normal (Gray)
Characteristics:
Normal volume (default: 50% of average)
Normal displacement or automatic price exhaustion
Auto-activation: Detects exhaustion even with normal volume

High Timeframe Candle Overlay (Configurable)HTF Candle Overlay — Read Higher Timeframe on Lower Timeframe Charts
What it does
This indicator draws each selected Higher-Timeframe (HTF) candle directly on your lower-timeframe (LTF) chart. It shows a translucent range box (HTF high–low) and an inner body box (HTF open–close), so you can track how the bigger candle is forming while you analyze lower-timeframe structure, liquidity sweeps, and intrabar reactions.
Why it’s helpful
• See where the current HTF candle opened, where price sits inside its body, and how far wicks extend—without leaving your LTF chart.
• Combine HTF context (e.g., 1H/4H) with LTF execution (e.g., 1m–15m) to spot confluence, S/R flips, and failed breaks faster.
• The overlay is locked to the price scale and anchored by bar index, so it pans/zooms exactly with your chart (no drifting while dragging).
⸻
How it works (under the hood)
• Fetches HTF OHLC via request.security.
• When a new HTF bar starts, the previous HTF boxes are frozen at the true close.
• The current HTF bar updates intrabar (so you see live formation) and is clamped to the correct span.
• Horizontal anchoring uses bar index, and a hidden price plot binds the script to the main price scale for stable zoom/pan behavior.
⸻
Inputs
• High Timeframe (HTF): Default 1H (set any TF you like).
• Show High–Low Box: On/off.
• Show Body Box (Open–Close): On/off.
• Opacity for range/body boxes.
• Bull/Bear Colors and Outline + Width.
• Max HTF Candles to Keep: Auto-deletes older boxes to maintain performance.
⸻
Usage tips
• Popular combos: view 1H or 4H candles while trading 1–15m charts.
• Turn off the range box if you only want a clean HTF body overlay.
• Pair with your session/structure tools; this indicator is visual context only (no signals or alerts).
⸻
Notes & limitations
• Non-repainting for closed HTF bars: once an HTF candle closes, its boxes are fixed. The current/in-progress HTF bar updates until it closes (expected live behavior).
• Data alignment depends on your symbol’s feed and session settings. Heikin Ashi/renko/etc. may not match classic OHLC.
• Heavy history + many boxes can affect performance; reduce “Max HTF Candles to Keep” if needed.

Trend CandlesTrend Candles
Overview
The Trend Candles indicator is a simple yet effective tool designed to help traders visually identify the prevailing market trend. By combining candle coloring with a trend-based Exponential Moving Average (EMA), it enhances chart readability and makes trend-following strategies easier to apply.
Concepts
Exponential Moving Average (EMA): The EMA is a moving average that places more weight on recent price data. It reacts faster to price changes compared to a Simple Moving Average (SMA), making it well-suited for trend detection.
Trend Determination:
- If the EMA is rising (current EMA > previous EMA), the market is considered bullish.
- If the EMA is falling (current EMA < previous EMA), the market is considered bearish.
- If the EMA is flat (no significant change), no trend color is applied.
Candle Coloring:
- Green candles = Uptrend
- Purple candles = Downtrend
- Default candles = Sideways/Flat EMA
Features
- Trend Visualization: Candles automatically change color based on EMA slope, making it easy to spot bullish and bearish phases.
- Customizable EMA Length: The trader can set the EMA period (default is 50), allowing flexibility for short-term or long-term trend analysis.
- Overlay EMA Line: An orange EMA line is plotted on the chart for additional confirmation of the trend.
- Clean & Minimalist: Focuses on trend clarity without cluttering the chart with unnecessary signals.
How to Use
1. Apply the indicator to your chart.
2. Adjust the EMA Length as per your trading style (shorter = faster signals, longer = smoother trend).
3. Follow the candle color:
- Green = Favor long entries.
- Purple = Favor short entries.
- No color = Stay cautious, as trend is unclear.
4. Use with other confirmation tools (support/resistance, volume, or oscillators).
5. Users are encouraged to experiment with different EMA lengths. The default length is 50, but you can explore other values based on your needs. In particular, try Fibonacci numbers such as 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, and 233 to observe how trends behave differently.

[RealEdgeFX] - Manipulation CandleOverview
The Manipulation Candle indicator highlights potential liquidity grabs and false breakouts directly on the chart. It focuses on moments when price sweeps prior highs or lows but closes in the opposite direction, suggesting a possible manipulation before a market reversal.
Core Logic
The indicator compares the current candle against the previous one and colors the bar when specific conditions are met:
Sell Manipulation (dark red)
When the current candle breaks above the previous high but then closes below the prior low.
→ This often signals a stop hunt to the upside followed by bearish intent.
Buy Manipulation (light green)
When the current candle breaks below the previous low but then closes above the prior high.
→ This suggests a liquidity sweep to the downside before bullish continuation.
Neutral candles remain uncolored to avoid clutter and keep the focus on high-impact moments.
Design Approach
Clarity: Only the candles that meet strict criteria are marked, reducing noise.
Liquidity Focused : Built for traders who want to quickly spot manipulative price action.
Non-Repainting : Once a candle is identified as manipulation, the color stays fixed.
Usage
Add it as an overlay on your chart.
Watch for green or red manipulation candles as alerts of possible reversals or liquidity events.
Combine with your own market structure or bias tools to increase accuracy.

Universal Renko Bars by SiddWolfUniversal Renko Bars or UniRenko Bars is an overlay indicator that applies the logic of Renko charting directly onto a standard candlestick chart. It generates a sequence of price-driven bricks, where each new brick is formed only when the price moves a specific amount, regardless of time. This provides a clean, price-action-focused visualization of the market's trend.
WHAT IS UNIVERSAL RENKO BARS?
For years, traders have faced a stark choice: the clean, noise-free world of Renko charts, or the rich, time-based context of Candlesticks. Choosing Renko meant giving up your favorite moving averages, volume profiles, and the fundamental sense of time. Choosing Candlesticks meant enduring the market noise that often clouds true price action.
But what if you didn't have to choose?
Universal Renko Bars is a revolutionary indicator that ends this dilemma. It's not just another charting tool; it's a powerful synthesis that overlays the pure, price-driven logic of Renko bricks directly onto your standard candlestick chart. This hybrid approach gives you the best of both worlds:
❖ The Clarity of Renko: By filtering out the insignificant noise of time, Universal Renko reveals the underlying trend with unparalleled clarity. Up trends are clean successions of green bricks; down trends are clear red bricks. No more guesswork.
❖ The Context of Candlesticks: Because the Renko logic is an overlay, you retain your time axis, your volume data, and full compatibility with every other time-based indicator in your arsenal (RSI, MACD, Moving Averages, etc.).
The true magic, however, lies in its live, Unconfirmed Renko brick. This semi-transparent box is your window into the current bar's real-time struggle. It grows, shrinks, and changes color with every tick, showing you exactly how close the price is to confirming the trend or forcing a reversal. It’s no longer a lagging indicator; it’s a live look at the current battle between buyers and sellers.
Universal Renko Bars unifies these two powerful charting methods, transforming your chart into a more intelligent, noise-free, and predictive analytical canvas.
HOW TO USE
To get the most out of Universal Renko Bars, here are a few tips and a full breakdown of the settings.
Initial Setup for the Best Experience
For the cleanest possible view, it's highly recommended that you hide the body of your standard candlesticks, that shows only the skelton of the candle. This allows the Renko bricks to become the primary focus of your chart.
→ Double click on the candles and uncheck the body checkbox.
Settings Breakdown
The indicator is designed to be powerful yet intuitive. The settings are grouped to make customization easy.
First, What is a "Tick"?
Before we dive in, it's important to understand the concept of a "Tick." In Universal Renko, a Tick is not the same as a market tick. It's a fundamental unit of price movement that you define. For example, if you set the Tick Size to $0.50, then a price move of $1.00 is equal to 2 Ticks. This is the core building block for all Renko bricks. Tick size here is dynamically determined by the settings provided in the indicator.
❖ Calculation Method (The "Tick Size" Engine)
This section determines the monetary value of a single "Tick."
`Calculation Method` : Choose your preferred engine for defining the Tick Size.
`ATR Based` (Default): The Tick Size becomes dynamic, based on market volatility (Average True Range). Bricks will get larger in volatile markets and smaller in quiet ones. Use the `ATR 14 Multiplier` to control the sensitivity.
`Percentage` : The Tick Size is a simple percentage of the current asset price, controlled by the `Percent Size (%)` input.
`Auto` : The "set it and forget it" mode. The script intelligently calculates a Tick Size based on the asset's price. Use the `Auto Sensitivity` slider to make these automatically calculated bricks thicker (value > 1.0) or thinner (value < 1.0).
❖ Parameters (The Core Renko Engine)
This group controls how the bricks are constructed based on the Tick Size.
`Tick Trend` : The number of "Ticks" the price must move in the same direction to print a new continuation brick. A smaller value means bricks form more easily.
`Tick Reversal` : The number of "Ticks" the price must move in the opposite direction to print a new reversal brick. This is typically set higher than `Tick Trend` (e.g., double) to filter out minor pullbacks and market noise.
`Open Offset` : Controls the visual overlap of the bricks. A value of `0` creates gapless bricks that start where the last one ended. A value of `2` (with a `Tick Reversal` of 4) creates the classic 50% overlap look.
❖ Visuals (Controlling What You See)
This is where you tailor the chart to your visual preference.
`Show Confirmed Renko` : Toggles the solid-colored, historical bricks. These are finalized and will never change. They represent the confirmed past trend.
`Show Unconfirmed Renko` : This is the most powerful visual feature. It toggles the live, semi-transparent box that represents the developing brick. It shows you exactly where the price is right now in relation to the levels needed to form the next brick.
`Show Max/Min Levels` : Toggles the horizontal "finish lines" on your chart. The green line is the price target for a bullish brick, and the red line is the target for a bearish brick. These are excellent for spotting breakouts.
`Show Info Label` : Toggles the on-chart label that provides key real-time stats:
🧱 Bricks: The total count of confirmed bricks.
⏳ Live: How many chart bars the current live brick has been forming. These bars forms the Renko bricks that aren't confirmed yet. Live = 0 means the latest renko brick is confirmed.
🌲 Tick Size: The current calculated value of a single Tick.
Hover over the label for a tooltip with live RSI(14), MFI(14), and CCI(20) data for additional confirmation.
TRADING STRATEGIES & IDEAS
Universal Renko Bars isn't just a visual tool; it's a foundation for building robust trading strategies.
Trend Confirmation: The primary use is to instantly identify the trend. A series of green bricks indicates a strong uptrend; a series of red bricks indicates a strong downtrend. Use this to filter out trades that go against the primary momentum.
Reversal Spotting: Pay close attention to the Unconfirmed Brick . When a strong trend is in place and the live brick starts to fight against it—changing color and growing larger—it can be an early warning that a reversal is imminent. Wait for the brick to be confirmed for a higher probability entry.
Breakout Trading: The `Max/Min Levels` are your dynamic breakout zones. A long entry can be considered when the price breaks and closes above the green Max Level, confirming a new bullish brick. A short entry can be taken when price breaks below the red Min Level.
Confluence & Indicator Synergy: This is where Universal Renko truly shines. Overlay a moving average (e.g., 20 EMA). Only take long trades when the green bricks are forming above the EMA. Combine it with RSI or MACD; a bearish reversal brick forming while the RSI shows bearish divergence is a very powerful signal.
A FINAL WORD
Universal Renko Bars was designed to solve a fundamental problem in technical analysis. It brings together the best elements of two powerful methodologies to give you a clearer, more actionable view of the market. By filtering noise while retaining context, it empowers you to make decisions with greater confidence.

LRCLRC (Linear Regression Candle)
Overview
The LRC (Linear Regression Candle) indicator applies linear regression to the open, high, low, and close prices, creating smoothed "candles" that help filter market noise. It provides trend-confirmation signals and highlights potential reversal points based on regression crossovers.
Key Features
Smoothed Candles: Uses linear regression to calculate synthetic OHLC values, reducing noise.
Multi-Timeframe Support: Optional higher timeframe analysis for better trend confirmation.
Visual Signals: Color-coded candles and labels highlight bullish/bearish control zones.
Customizable Settings: Adjustable regression length, colors, and timeframe options.
How to Use
Signals & Interpretation
🟢 Bullish Signal (BUY): When the regression open crosses above the regression close (green candle).
🔴 Bearish Signal (SELL): When the regression open crosses below the regression close (red candle).
Control Zones:
Strong Bullish (Controlbull): Confirmed uptrend (bright green).
Bullish (Bull): Regular uptrend (light green).
Strong Bearish (Controlbear): Confirmed downtrend (dark red).
Bearish (Bear): Regular downtrend (orange).
Neutral (Gray): No clear trend.
Recommended Settings
Linear Regression Length: Default 8 (adjust for sensitivity).
Timeframe: Default current chart, but can switch to higher timeframes (e.g., 1D, 1W).
Bar Colors: Toggle on/off for visual clarity.
Labels: Displays "Control" markers at key reversal points.
Example Use Cases
Trend Confirmation: Use higher timeframe LRC to validate the primary trend.
Reversal Signals: Watch for BUY/SELL crossovers with strong color confirmation.
Noise Reduction: Helps avoid false breakouts in choppy markets.
Hybrid Heikin Ashi OverlayHybrid Heikin Ashi Overlay
I personally like Heikin Ashi for its simplicity in showing clean trends. However, it tends to smooth out price action so much that we sometimes miss key signals from the actual candles.
This indicator overlays Heikin Ashi-style background colors while keeping regular candles intact — giving you the best of both worlds:
• Smoother trend visibility
• No loss of execution precision
• Customizable colors & transparency
🔹 No repainting
🔹 No strategy logic — purely visual
🔹 Designed to reduce clutter and help traders stay focused on structure

Strong/Weak Candle FinderStrong/Weak Candle Finder (SWCF)
Overview:
The Strong/Weak Candle Finder (SWCF) is a versatile TradingView indicator designed to help traders identify statistically significant candles based on their size relative to recent historical price action. By analyzing a lookback period, the indicator dynamically calculates a threshold to classify candles as either "strong" (larger than the threshold) or "weak" (smaller than the threshold), providing visual cues directly on your chart.
This tool can be invaluable for traders looking to:
Spot potential momentum breakouts or high volatility (Strong Candles).
Identify periods of consolidation or low volatility (Weak Candles).
Gauge shifts in market sentiment based on candle body or range dynamics.
How It Works:
Candle Size Calculation: You choose how candle size is measured from four methods:
High - Low: The full range of the candle.
High - Close: The distance from the high to the close.
Open - Close: The size of the candle body.
Low - Open: The distance from the low to the open.
Historical Analysis: The indicator looks back over a user-defined LookBack Period to collect candle sizes.
Grouping & Precision: To smooth the distribution, candle sizes are grouped based on the Group Precision Size. This parameter divides the observed range of candle sizes into a set number of "bins," and individual candle sizes are rounded to the nearest representative value of these bins.
Percentile Threshold: A dynamic Outlier Pip Value is calculated based on the Outlier Percentile you set.
If Display Mode is "Strong Candles," this threshold represents the Nth percentile of the largest candle sizes (e.g., the 80th percentile if Outlier Percentile is 20%). Candles larger than this are marked as "Strong."
If Display Mode is "Weak Candles," this threshold represents the Nth percentile of the smallest candle sizes (e.g., the 20th percentile). Candles smaller than this are marked as "Weak."
Visual Markers: When a current candle meets the criteria (strong or weak based on your display mode), a configurable shape is plotted above (for strong) or below (for weak) the candle.
Resampling: The historical distribution and outlier threshold are recalculated every Resample Period (number of bars) to adapt to changing market conditions.
Key Features:
Dynamic Thresholds: Adapts to market volatility instead of using fixed pip values.
Customizable Candle Definition: Choose from four methods to define what "candle size" means to your strategy.
Flexible Display Modes: Focus on either identifying exceptionally strong candles or unusually weak ones.
Adjustable Sensitivity: Fine-tune the rarity of signals with Outlier Percentile and Group Precision Size.
Visual Chart Markers: Clear, customizable shapes (arrow, circle, etc.) for easy identification.
Periodic Recalculation: Ensures the indicator remains relevant as market dynamics evolve.
Parameters:
Display Mode:
Strong Candles: Highlights candles larger than the upper percentile threshold.
Weak Candles: Highlights candles smaller than the lower percentile threshold.
Resample Period (Candles): How often (in bars) to recalculate the historical distribution and outlier threshold.
LookBack Period (Candles): The number of past candles to analyze for the historical distribution. (Note: Plots will only begin after this many bars have loaded on the chart).
Group Precision Size: Number of groups to divide the candle size range into for rounding historical sizes. Higher values mean finer precision (less rounding).
Outlier Percentile (%): The percentile used to define the threshold for strong/weak candles.
Candle Size Method: (High-Low, High-Close, Open-Close, Low-Open).
Visuals:
Strong Shape: Choose the icon style for strong candles.
Weak Shape: Choose the icon style for weak candles.
Shape Size: Adjust the size of the plotted icons.
How to Use:
Strong Candles:
May indicate increased momentum, potential breakout confirmations, or high conviction moves.
Consider using in trending markets or as a filter for entry signals.
Weak Candles:
May signal market indecision, low volatility, consolidation phases, or potential exhaustion of a prior move.
Can be useful for identifying range-bound conditions or periods to be cautious.
Experimentation: Adjust the LookBack Period, Outlier Percentile, and Group Precision Size to match your trading style and the characteristics of the asset you are trading. What constitutes "strong" or "weak" can vary significantly.
Confirmation Tool: Use in conjunction with other indicators (e.g., moving averages, RSI, volume) for more robust trading decisions.
Important Notes:
The indicator requires sufficient historical data (LookBack Period) to initialize. You may not see plots on the chart immediately if there aren't enough bars loaded.
Like all indicators, the SWCF is not a standalone trading system and should not be used as the sole basis for financial decisions.
Past performance is not indicative of future results. Always use appropriate risk management.
We hope you find the Strong/Weak Candle Finder a valuable addition to your trading toolkit!
