Reversal Candlestick Setups (Doji, Outside, Extreme, Wick)Reversal Candlestick Setups – Doji, Outside, Extreme & Wick
This indicator identifies four high-probability reversal candlestick patterns across all timeframes: Doji Reversals, Outside Reversals, Extreme Reversals, and Wick Reversals. Each setup is based on clearly defined quantitative rules, allowing traders to filter noise and focus on strong reversal signals instead of relying on subjective visual interpretation.
The tool automatically scans every candle, highlights qualifying patterns on the chart, and provides alert options for both bullish and bearish versions of all four setups. This makes it suitable for intraday traders, swing traders, and positional traders seeking early reversal confirmation.
Included Setups
1. Doji Reversal Setup
Identifies candles with extremely small bodies relative to their range, combined with a smaller-than-average bar size. Useful for spotting market indecision before a directional shift.
2. Outside Reversal Setup
Flags candles that engulf the previous candle’s high–low range and exceed the average range by a multiplier. This is designed to capture strong momentum reversals driven by aggressive buying or selling.
3. Extreme Reversal Setup
Highlights large-bodied candles that dominate their overall range and exceed twice the average bar size. These signals aim to catch climactic exhaustion and institutional-level reversals.
4. Wick Reversal Setup
Detects candles with long rejection wicks, small bodies, and closes near an extreme of the range, supported by above-average bar size. Ideal for identifying sharp intrabar rejections.
Key Features
• Automatically detects all four reversal setups
• Works on all timeframes and symbols
• Customizable variables for deeper testing and optimization
• Clear bullish and bearish labels directly on the chart
• Fully integrated alert conditions for real-time notifications
• Suitable for crypto, stocks, indices, forex, and commodities
Who This Indicator Is For
• Traders who want objective, rule-based reversal detection
• Price action traders looking to enhance accuracy
• Systematic traders wanting quantifiable candlestick criteria
• Beginners learning reversal structures with visual guidance
• Professionals integrating reversal patterns into algorithmic or discretionary systems
How to Use
Add the indicator to your chart and enable alerts for the specific setups you want to track (e.g., “Bullish Wick Reversal”). Combine these signals with market structure, trend filters, volume analysis, or momentum indicators for increased conviction.

SuperEMA RSI Strategy [wjdtks255]Indicator Description and Trading Guide for “SuperEMA RSI Strategy ”
Indicator Name: SuperEMA RSI Strategy
Description
The SuperEMA RSI Strategy combines fast and slow Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) to identify key trend changes, enhanced with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to filter momentum strength. It plots clear buy and sell signals based on EMA crossovers while highlighting trend zones with colored backgrounds for quick visual reference. This multi-timeframe compatible indicator is suitable for stocks, cryptocurrencies, and other markets.
How to Use the SuperEMA RSI Strategy
Buy Signal:
Enter a long position when the short-term EMA crosses above the long-term EMA, indicated by a green circle below the price bar. Confirm the trend with a green background and consider RSI values showing sufficient momentum (typically RSI above 50).
Sell Signal:
Enter a short position when the short-term EMA crosses below the long-term EMA, indicated by a red circle above the price bar. Confirm the bearish trend with a red background and verify momentum weakening (typically RSI below 50).
Trend Confirmation:
Use the background color-shaded zones to identify prevailing trend strength and avoid counter-trend trades.
RSI Application:
Optionally enable RSI display to avoid overbought/oversold entries by watching for levels above 70 (overbought) or below 30 (oversold).
Additional Tips
Adjust EMA and RSI parameters to suit different timeframes or asset volatility.
Combine this indicator with volume analysis and other technical tools for enhanced signal reliability.
Implement well-defined stop-loss and take-profit levels to manage risk effectively.

Fib+BOS/CHOCH+OB# ⭐ 1) **What This Indicator Does**
The indicator combines 4 major concepts:
### **1️⃣ Market Structure (Swing High/Low)**
* Detects major swing highs and lows using pivot logic
* Determines whether the market is **Bullish** or **Bearish**
### **2️⃣ BOS / CHOCH (Break of Structure / Change of Character)**
* **BOS:** continuation of trend
* **CHOCH:** early signal of trend reversal
* Only the **last 5** levels are displayed → keeps chart clean
### **3️⃣ Order Blocks (OB)**
* Detects last opposite candle before BOS/CHOCH
* Displays only **the latest 3 OB zones**
* Ideal for identifying high-probability pullbacks

OBO-TOBO Head & Shoulders (H&S) Pattern HunterOBO-TOBO Head & Shoulders (H&S) Pattern Hunter
This indicator automatically detects Head and Shoulders (Bearish) and Inverse Head and Shoulders (Bullish) patterns using a smart ZigZag algorithm. Unlike standard indicators, it does not just mark the pivots; it draws the complete geometric "M" or "W" shape, including all legs from start to finish.
Key Features:
Full Geometry: Draws the complete pattern shape with proper legs, ensuring distinct visibility.
Smart Cleaning (Garbage Collector): Automatically deletes old or invalid patterns when a new one forms. Keeps your chart clean and prevents visual clutter.
Neckline Projection: Automatically draws the neckline projection to identify potential breakout levels.
Symmetry Check: Filters out invalid structures and only detects proportional patterns.
How to Use: You can adjust the "Sensitivity" (Length) setting in the menu to detect smaller or larger patterns according to your trading style.
Advanced Price Ranges — Izaak ButlerThis indicator automatically draws equally-spaced price ranges (based on a user-defined size) above and below the current price. Each range displays its High, Low, 50% midpoint, and 25/75% quarter levels. All lines now extend both forward and backward in time, covering the entire chart. Labels are added on the right edge for easy reference, and optional alerts trigger when price crosses key levels. This tool helps visualize structured price zones and ICT-style range behaviour across all market conditions.
SCOB Pattern with ERC & AlertsSingle Candle Block (SC0B) consists of a single candle appearing at a significant price level, indicating a confirmed reversal in price direction from that particular area of interest.
SCOB is primarily used to confirm and execute trades.
Using a single candle block to enter a trade minimizes risk and maximizes reward.
Single bullish candle block?
1st candle closes at bullish point of interest with a short or long wick.
2nd candle sweeps the low of previous(1st) candle and closes above the low of previous candle.
3rd candle closes above the high of 2nd candle.
How to trade with Scob bullish.
To Trade using Bullish SCOB you have to wait for price to come down and test the single candle order block.
When price tests the SCOB you can directly execute a buy trade or for a precise entry you can wait for a market structure shift in lower time frame.
Scob discount is the opposite of price increase.
This strategy should only be used when price "sweeps through key lever, liquidity, imbalance, poi htf areas.
This indicator will add a filter to help you reduce signal noise.
Use the "Use engulfing candle to test" function to filter the 3rd candle.
Only search for Scob if the 3rd candle is an Engulfing candle.
The logic for finding Engulfing candles can be changed based on the "% maximum wick length" option. The default is that the candle wick is 25% of the total candle wick length.
You can also use the alert function when Scob appears
With Smart money concept, no strategy is perfect in trading, so you should not risk too much of your capital on this strategy.
To be safer, always remember to use stop loss for every trade.

Weekends HighlighterHighlights all Saturdays and Sundays on the chart with two different background colors to easily spot weekends.
Session Highlighter (Asia / London / New York)This TradingView Pine Script highlights the three major Forex sessions—Asia, London, and New York—directly on the chart. Each session has customizable start/end times (based on New York time), toggle switches to show or hide them, and adjustable background colors. The script automatically detects sessions that cross midnight and shades the chart accordingly. It can also place optional labels at the exact opening of each session.
Defended Price Levels (DPLs) — Melvin Dickover ConceptThis indicator identifies and draws horizontal “Defended Price Levels” (DPLs) exactly as originally described by Melvin E. Dickover in his trading methodology.
Dickover observed that when extreme relative volume and extreme “freedom of movement” (volume-to-price-movement ratio) occur on the same bar, especially on bars with large gaps or unusually large bodies, the closing price (or previous close) of that bar very often becomes a significant future support/resistance level that the market later “defends.”
This script automates the detection of those exact coincident spikes using two well-known public indicators:
Relative Volume (RVI)
• Original idea: Melvin Dickover
• Pine Script implementation used here: “Relative Volume Indicator (Freedom Of Movement)” by LazyBear
Link:
Freedom of Movement (FoM)
• Original idea and calculation: starbolt64
• Pine Script: “Freedom of Movement” by starbolt64
Link:
How this indicator works
Calculates the raw (possibly negative) LazyBear RVI and starbolt64’s exact FoM values
Normalizes and standardizes both over the user-defined lookback
Triggers only when both RVI and FoM exceed the chosen number of standard deviations on the same bar (true Dickover coincident-spike condition)
Applies Dickover’s original price-selection rules (uses current close on big gaps or 2× body expansion candles, otherwise previous close)
Draws a thin maroon horizontal ray only when the new level is sufficiently far from all previously drawn levels (default ≥0.8 %) and the maximum number of levels has not been reached
Keeps the chart clean by limiting the total number of significant defended levels shown
This is not a republish or minor variation of the two source scripts — it is a faithful automation of Melvin Dickover’s specific “defended price line” concept that he manually marked using the coincidence of these two indicators.
Full credit goes to:
Melvin E. Dickover — creator of the Defended Price Levels concept
LazyBear — author of the Relative Volume (RVI) implementation used here
starbolt64 — author of the Freedom of Movement indicator and calculation
Settings (all adjustable):
Standard Deviation Length (default 60)
Spike Threshold in standard deviations (default 2.0)
Minimum distance between levels in % (default 0.8 %)
Maximum significant levels to display (15–80)
Use these horizontal maroon lines as potential future support/resistance zones that the market has previously shown strong willingness to defend.
Thank you to Melvin, LazyBear, and starbolt64 for the original work that made this automation possible.
Chop + MSS/FVG Retest (Ace v1.6) – IndicatorWhat this indicator does
Name: Chop + MSS/FVG Retest (Ace v1.6) – Indicator
This is an entry model helper, not just a BOS/MSS marker.
It looks for clean trend-side setups by combining:
MSS (Market Structure Shift) using swing highs/lows
3-bar ICT Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
First retest back into the FVG
A built-in chop / trend filter based on ATR and a moving average
When everything lines up, it plots:
L below the candle = Long candidate
S above the candle = Short candidate
You pair this with a higher-timeframe filter (like the Chop Meter 1H/30M/15M) to avoid pressing the button in garbage environments.
How it works (simple explanation)
Chop / Trend filter
Computes ATR and compares each bar’s range to ATR.
If the bar is small vs ATR → more likely CHOP.
If the bar is big vs ATR → more likely TREND.
Uses a moving average:
Above MA + TREND → trendLong zone
Below MA + TREND → trendShort zone
MSS (Market Structure Shift)
Uses swing highs/lows (left/right bars) to track the last significant high/low.
Bullish MSS: close breaks above last swing high with displacement.
Bearish MSS: close breaks below last swing low with displacement.
Those events are marked as tiny triangles (MSS up/down).
A MSS only stays “valid” for a certain number of bars (Bars after MSS allowed).
3-bar ICT FVG
Bullish FVG: low > high
→ gap between bar 3 high and bar 2 low.
Bearish FVG: high < low
→ gap between bar 3 low and bar 2 high.
The indicator stores the FVG boundaries (top/bottom).
Retest of FVG
Watches for price to trade back into that gap (first touch).
That retest is the “entry zone” after the MSS.
Final Long / Short condition
Long (L) prints when:
Recent bullish MSS
Bullish FVG has formed
Price retests the bullish FVG
Environment = trendLong (ATR + above MA)
Not CHOP
Short (S) prints when:
Recent bearish MSS
Bearish FVG has formed
Price retests the bearish FVG
Environment = trendShort (ATR + below MA)
Not CHOP
So the L/S markers are “model-approved entry candles”, not just any random BOS.
Inputs / Settings
Key inputs you’ll see:
ATR length (chop filter)
How many bars to use for ATR in the chop / trend filter.
Lower = more sensitive, twitchy
Higher = smoother, slower to change
Max chop ratio
If barRange / ATR is below this → treat as CHOP.
Min trend ratio
If barRange / ATR is above this → treat as TREND.
Hide MSS/BOS marks in CHOP?
ON = MSS triangles disappear when the bar is classified as CHOP
Keeps your chart cleaner in consolidation
Swing left / right bars
Controls how tight or wide the swing highs/lows are for MSS:
Smaller = more sensitive, more MSS points
Larger = fewer, more significant swings
Bars after MSS allowed
How many bars after a MSS the indicator will still allow FVG entries.
Small value (e.g. 10) = MSS must deliver quickly or it’s ignored.
Larger (e.g. 20) = MSS idea stays “in play” longer.
Visual RR (for info only)
Just for plotting relative risk-reward in your head.
This is not a strategy tester; it doesn’t manage positions.
What you see on the chart
Small green triangle up = Bullish MSS
Small red triangle down = Bearish MSS
“L” triangle below a bar = Long idea (MSS + FVG retest + trendLong + not chop)
“S” triangle above a bar = Short idea (MSS + FVG retest + trendShort + not chop)
Faint circle plots on price:
When the filter sees CHOP
When it sees Trend Long zone
When it sees Trend Short zone
You do not have to trade every L or S.
They’re there to show “this is where the model would have considered an entry.”
How to use it in your trading
1. Use it with a higher-timeframe filter
Best practice:
Use this with the Chop Meter 1H/30M/15M or some other HTF filter.
Only consider L/S when:
Chop Meter = TRADE / NORMAL, and
This indicator prints L or S in the right location (premium/discount, near OB/FVG, etc.)
If higher-timeframe says NO TRADE, you ignore all L/S.
2. Location > Signal
Treat L/S as confirmation, not the whole story.
For shorts (S):
Look for premium zones (previous highs, OBs, fair value ranges above mid).
Want purge / raid of liquidity + MSS down + bearish FVG retest → then S.
For longs (L):
Look for discount zones (previous lows, OBs/FVGs below mid).
Want stop raid / purge low + MSS up + bullish FVG retest → then L.
If you see L/S firing in the middle of a bigger range, that’s where you skip and let it go.
3. Instrument presets (example)
You can tune the ATR/chop settings per instrument:
MNQ (noisy, 1m chart):
ATR length: 21
Max chop ratio: 0.90
Min trend ratio: 1.40
Bars after MSS allowed: 10
GOLD (cleaner, 3m chart):
ATR length: 14
Max chop ratio: 0.80
Min trend ratio: 1.30
Bars after MSS allowed: 20
You can save those as presets in the TV settings for quick switching.
4. How to practice with it
Open replay on a couple of days.
Check Chop Meter → if NO TRADE, just observe.
When Chop Meter says TRADE:
Mark where L/S printed.
Ask:
Was this in premium/discount?
Was there SMT / purge on HTF?
Did the move actually deliver, or did it die?
Screenshot the A+ L/S and the ugly ones; refine:
ATR length
Chop / trend thresholds
MSS lookback
Your goal is to get it to where:
The L/S marks show up mostly in the same places your eye already likes,
and you ignore the rest.
