Note : this indicator is only designed to work with time-based chart types, such as Bars, Candles or Heikin Ashi. It will not work for non-time charts such as Renko.
FAQs
Why do my alerts sometimes not fire as soon as the candle closes?
This is a limitation with Pine Script's execution model. Indicators are calculated whenever a price or volume change occurs i.e. when a new trade happens. For illiquid or slow moving markets, there may be some time between when a candle closes and the next trade, leading to a delay in the alert triggering. The alert will trigger on the next tick of data on the chart.
Why can't I create more alerts?
TradingView has a limit on the number of active technical alerts you can have based on your membership tier. To configure more alerts, consider upgrading your TradingView plan to a higher tier. See a comparison of TradingView plans at www.tradingview.com
My alert only fired once, how can I get it to keep working?
When configuring the alert in the alert pop-up window, make sure you set "Trigger" to "Once Per Bar" and "Expiration" to "Open-ended alert".

Boring Candles by BitcoinBailyBoring candlestick is a candlestick whose body is less than 50% of its total candlestick range, this candle is usually small in size.
This indicates that the price range between the open and close of this candle was relatively small, and that there was not a lot of volatility during that time period.
Sunset candlesDisplays the volume behind each candle with colors, to visualise their evolution over time, directly in the chart.
This indicator is best suited for dark mode (Suggested background color: #0a0c12).
The more intense is the color, the bigger is the volume.
The unit is a 400 periods moving average of the volume, considered as 1 volume.
Each color represents half of this volume. For ex: Grays indicate under (or equal) to the 400 MA (low volumes). Bright yellow represents above 7 times the 400 MA (very high volumes).
When there's no available volume datas, the candles turn bright green by default.
The wicks' colors stay the same, and can still indicate the direction of the candle.
In the settings, you can show/hide the gradient of the volume. By moving your chart over this gradient, it is possible to compare the candles to the colors, and read the corresponding volume number.
((Bearish)) Candle Above EMASGood Morning from the UK.
Todays script is a simple vieweing of when candles close above a certain moving average - when the market is bearish conditions - candle which close above the moving average can be viewed as a bearish signal along with confluences such as price action. This script is best on the Daily and we can expect big price moves away from this area.
The below example, we have a bearish set up with a break of trendline and then a break of a base which would 1) strong area as price is unlikely to go past this area which would make this a supply zone.
This was then followed by the signal of the candle closing above the 100ema and the 50ema.
The script is likened to my one of my previous scripts which portrays the bullish ema candle closes.
I will be making a price action publish soon if that is of interest to the public.
Candle Color by VolumeA simple but effective indicator that paints candles with different shades of colors based on the volume transacted.
-> Supports 6 levels of sensitivity at present. Might enhance the granularity later.
-> Darkest indicates the most volume transacted. Lightest, the least. Change it around however you see fit and based on your theme.
-> Use it for your Volume Spread Analysis and/or in conjunction with any other strategies that you employ.
-> Note that the volume ratio is calculated relative to the average volume of the last n candles ( EMA 20 by default).
Heikin-Ashi Candle ColoringThis script will change the color of normal candlesticks to the color that the corresponding Heikin-Ashi candles would have.
This allows to spot a trend or a trend reversal just by looking at candles, without using Heikin-Ashi candles, which distort the appearance of a typical chart.
Elephant - Shooting Star CandlesThis script aims to show elephant and shootingstar candles. Body for elephant are at least 70% of the whole candle. Shootingstar have a body of 35% times the lenht of the full candle. Both are searched with 1.3 Standard Deviations as noise within 100 bars. Colors are ploted if closes above/below 200 SMA
[LixxChartz] Engulfing Candle Auto FinderProbably the most complicated script you have seen...
The Engulfing Candle Script that ACCTUALLY finds the engulfing candles.
This indicator is a part of my new script I am creating and I will be realising soon. Hope it helps.
I really don't understand why other people were making it so complicate LOL
Bullflag Candlestick pattern
A bull flag is essentially a small consolidation near the top of an upthrust. If we picture it as a candlestick pattern, it should have a big green candlestick + a small body red/green candle near the top of the top big green candle.
This script essentially help you identify these.
Swing Highs/Lows & Candle Patterns [LuxAlgo]This script labels swing highs and swing lows as well as the candle pattern that occurred at that precise point. The script can detect the following 6 candle patterns: hammer, inverse hammer, bullish engulfing, hanging man, shooting star, and bearish engulfing.
This indicator by its very nature backpaints by default, meaning that the displayed components are offset in the past.
🔶 USAGE
It can be interesting to see if a top or bottom is associated with a specific candle pattern, this allows us to study the potential of such a pattern to indicate a reversal. You can hover on a label with a specific pattern to see more details about it.
The notations HH, HL, LH, and LL you can see on the labels are defined as follows:
HH : Higher high
HL : Higher low
LH : Lower high
LL : Lower low
🔶 SETTING
Length: Sensitivity of the swing high/low detection, with lower values returning the maximum/minimum of shorter-term price variations.
Candle Color GeneratorCandle Color Generator:
This indicator is designed to highlight the candle colors based on the combinations of Parabolic SAR (PSAR) and 2 Hull Moving Averages (HMA).
Colors:
Yellow, Red, and Green colors are used to describe the candle colors depends on its position to PSAR and 2 HMAs.
PSAR:
PSAR position above or below candle position is differentiated by Red and Green colors
HMAs:
As default settings 20 HMA is considered as lower period and 50 HMA is considered period for the calculation
Trade What You See:
This indicator will help to see how the setup of particular instrument coming up. Users/Traders can use and trade based on what they see and interpret from it.
Disclaimer:
Idea of publishing this script is to identify the strength of the instrument using multiple confirmation.
Using this indicator, changing inputs (show/hide/change period), and trading decisions are up to the users/traders.

Thanks to inventors of HMA (Alan Hull), PSAR(Welles Wilder) as these inputs are used to make some calculations
Candlestick Reversal SystemHello Traders,
In the book "Secrets of a Pivot Boss: Revealing Proven Methods for Profiting in the Market" by Franklin Ochoa, Four different types of reversal systems were introduced and candlestick patterns are used to find reversals. I will not write a lot about the book, you should get/read it for yourself. There are many great ideas in the book, Candlesetick Reversal System, Following Trend, Time Price Opportunity, Advanced Camarilla Concepts and much more.
Reversal systems mentioned in the book are :
- Wick Reversal System
- Exteme Reversal System
- Outside Reversal System
- Doji Reversal System
I tried to add these four reversal systems to the script. If you need detailed info you better read the book ;)
Enjoy!
BH - Candlestick Pattern DetectionThis is a script to help the beginners locate the candle patterns. It has a nice code that can be used in other scripts too. Easy to use with separated functions, simple patterns and complex patterns detections.
I have done some updates at the Candlestick Patterns Identified script by @repo32. Was a good start of my ideia. Tks for sharing repo.
It will be always under constant development but I want to share this first version to know what can be done to get better, improve, get more desired patterns, know what are you guys using that could be helpful.
I still need to check if all patterns are correct.
Any comments, help and suggestions will be appreciated.

Wickless Candle Revisit TrackerWickless Candle Revisit Tracker
Identifies wickless candles (strong momentum candles) and tracks whether price revisits their opening level, providing statistical insights into price behavior patterns.
WHAT ARE WICKLESS CANDLES?
• Green wickless: Open = Low (no lower wick) - opened at the low and moved only upward
• Red wickless: Open = High (no upper wick) - opened at the high and moved only downward
These candles represent strong directional momentum, and their opening levels often act as support/resistance zones that price may revisit.
KEY FEATURES:
• Automatic Detection: Identifies wickless candles with configurable tolerance for broker spread
• Real-time Tracking: Monitors each wickless candle until price revisits its opening level
• Visual Indicators:
- Labels show "WL↑" or "WL↓" with bars count when revisited (or "N/A" if pending)
- Horizontal lines mark price levels (gray dashed = pending, green solid = revisited)
• Comprehensive Statistics Table:
- Total wickless candles detected
- Revisit rate percentage
- Min/Max/Average bars until revisit
- Pending count
• History Limit: Configure how far back to analyze (default: 500 bars)
• Customizable: Adjust colors, toggle labels/lines/table, reposition statistics
USE CASES:
• Identify potential support/resistance levels from momentum candles
• Measure how often price fills "fair value gaps" or inefficiencies
• Track mean reversion patterns after strong momentum moves
• Backtest the reliability of wickless candle levels as trading zones
SETTINGS:
• Wick Tolerance: Allow small wicks due to broker spread (e.g., 0.0001 for forex)
• History Limit: Number of bars to analyze (older candles are hidden)
• Visual Controls: Toggle labels, lines, and statistics table
• Color Customization: Adjust line colors for pending/revisited states
ALERTS:
Built-in alerts for wickless candle detection (green, red, or both).
Perfect for traders analyzing price inefficiencies, fair value gaps, and momentum-based support/resistance levels.

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

LiquidityPulse RSI Candle Strength MomentumLiquidity-Pulse RSI Candle Strength Momentum is a multifunctional and original candle-analysis tool designed to highlight the potential internal strength of each candle using a combination of body size and volume.
To view the candle-strength scores clearly: right-click on the chart, go to Settings, and in the Symbol tab untick Body, Borders and Wicks.
Candle Strength Scores
The indicator calculates the average body size and average volume over a user-defined lookback period. Each candle is then compared to these averages, and the indicator combines relative body expansion and relative volume expansion with a square-root calculation to create a (normalised) candle-strength score from 1 to 10.
10 – exceptionally strong compared to the lookback average (large body size and volume)
1 – very weak compared to the lookback average (small body size and volume)
Bullish and bearish candles are evaluated independently, producing separate bull-strength and bear-strength scores.
Optional ATR and volume floors can be enabled to restrict strength scoring to candles that exceed a minimum volatility or participation threshold. This helps users who prefer to filter out low-impact candles during quiet market periods. This option can be enabled or adjusted in the settings but is turned off by default.
Candle Colours
This tool also shows candles coloured based on the candle-strength scores (10 colours in each theme), which makes it easier to visualise the scores and see whether the candle score was high or not. There are several options in the 'colour theme' dropdown menu in the settings. Users can also customise all colours manually.
RSI Candle Strength Arrows
The Relative Strength Index is a long-established momentum tool that calculates the ratio of average upward moves to average downward moves over a defined period, allowing traders to identify potential overbought and oversold market conditions where momentum may be stretched. As well as this, strong early momentum and participation are often associated with more sustained moves.
This indicator combines this methodology and provides optional arrows that appear only when candle strength and RSI conditions align:
– A candle meets or exceeds a chosen strength threshold
– RSI has recently reached an overbought or oversold level
– The candle direction matches the expected momentum shift
For example, if price has reached an oversold RSI level and a strong bullish candle forms (high candle-strength number), an upside arrow may plot.
Users can customise the RSI oversold and overbought thresholds, the minimum candle-strength threshold, and how many bars back the RSI condition must have occurred in the settings.
These arrows are not buy or sell signals but instead highlight rare moments where strong candle behaviour aligns with meaningful RSI extremes. This is useful to users because it allows the candle-strength logic to be applied only when momentum is genuinely stretched, filtering out noise and focusing attention on the most statistically significant market moves.
This indicator brings together a quantitative candle-strength model and a momentum-based RSI filter to give users a clearer view of how individual candles behave relative to their recent environment, while also highlighting when those movements occur during meaningful shifts in market momentum. By combining both forms of analysis, the tool helps traders distinguish ordinary price changes from potentially significant structural behaviour.
How traders can use this indicator
– Stronger candle scores in the trend direction can confirm continuation pressure.
– Powerful opposing candles appearing at RSI extremes may signal potential reversals or exhaustion points.
– If breakouts occur with high candle scores, price may be more likely to follow through.
– Weak candles with low scores help traders avoid false signals or low-quality setups.
– Candle-strength scoring helps users quickly interpret both volume and candle-body behaviour without manual analysis.

Disclaimer
This indicator is provided for educational and analytical purposes only and should not be interpreted as financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any asset. The candle-strength values displayed by this tool are not literal or definitive measures of market strength; they are derived from a custom mathematical model designed to highlight relative differences in candle behaviour. These values should be viewed as a simplified representation of candle dynamics, not as an objective or universal measure of strength.
Users should be aware that this calculation does not replace the importance of analysing real traded volume, order flow, liquidity conditions, or broader market context. As with any technical tool, results should be considered alongside other forms of analysis, and past performance does not guarantee future outcomes. Use at your own discretion and risk.

[LTS] Marubozu Candle StrategyOVERVIEW
The Marubozu Candle Strategy identifies and trades wickless candles (Marubozu patterns) with dynamic take-profit and stop-loss levels based on market volatility. This indicator combines traditional Japanese candlestick pattern recognition with modern volatility-adjusted risk management and includes a comprehensive performance tracking dashboard.
A Marubozu candle is a powerful continuation pattern characterized by the complete absence of wicks on one side, indicating strong directional momentum. This strategy specifically detects:
- Bullish Marubozu: Close > Open AND Low = Open (no lower wick)
- Bearish Marubozu: Close < Open AND High = Open (no upper wick)
When price returns to test these levels, the indicator generates trading signals with predefined risk-reward parameters.
CORE METHODOLOGY
Detection Logic:
The script scans each bar for Marubozu formations using precise price comparisons. When a wickless candle appears, a horizontal line extends from the opening price, marking it as a potential support (bullish) or resistance (bearish) level. These levels remain active until price touches them or until the maximum line limit is reached.
EMA Filter (Optional):
An exponential moving average filter enhances signal quality by requiring proper trend alignment. For bullish signals, price must be above the EMA when touching the level. For bearish signals, price must be below the EMA. This filter reduces counter-trend trades and improves win rates in trending markets. Users can disable this filter for range-bound conditions.
Dynamic Risk Management:
The strategy employs ATR-based (Average True Range) position sizing rather than fixed point values. This approach adapts to market volatility automatically:
- In low volatility: Tighter stops and targets
- In high volatility: Wider stops and targets proportional to market movement
Default settings use a 2:1 reward-to-risk ratio (1x ATR for take-profit, 0.5x ATR for stop-loss), but users can adjust these multipliers to match their trading style.
HOW IT WORKS
Step 1 - Pattern Detection:
On each bar, the indicator evaluates whether the candle qualifies as a Marubozu by comparing the high, low, open, and close prices. When detected, the opening price becomes the key level.
Step 2 - Level Management:
Horizontal lines extend from each Marubozu's opening price. The indicator maintains two separate arrays: one for unbroken levels (actively extending) and one for broken levels (historical reference). Users can configure how many of each type to display, preventing chart clutter while maintaining relevant context.
Step 3 - Signal Generation:
When price returns to touch a Marubozu level, the indicator evaluates the EMA filter condition. If the filter passes (or is disabled), the script draws TP/SL boxes showing the expected profit and loss zones based on current ATR values.
Step 4 - Trade Tracking:
Each valid signal enters the tracking system, which monitors subsequent price action to determine outcomes. The script identifies whether the take-profit or stop-loss was hit first (discarding trades where both trigger on the same candle to avoid ambiguous results).
PERFORMANCE DASHBOARD
The integrated dashboard provides real-time strategy analytics to automatically convert results to dollar values for any instrument:
Tracked Metrics:
- Total Trades: Complete count of closed positions
- Wins/Losses: Individual counts with color coding
- Win Rate: Success percentage with dynamic color (green >= 50%, red < 50%)
- Total P&L: Cumulative profit/loss in dollars
- Avg Win: Mean dollar amount per winning trade
- Avg Loss: Mean dollar amount per losing trade
NOTE: The dollar values shown in the dashboard are for trading only a single share/contract/etc. You will need to manually multiply those numbers by the amount of shares/contracts you are trading to get a true value.
The dollar conversion works automatically across all markets:
- Futures contracts (ES, NQ, CL, etc.) use their contract specifications
- Forex pairs use standard lot calculations
- Stocks and crypto use their respective point values
This eliminates manual calculation and provides immediate performance feedback in meaningful currency terms.

HOW TO USE
1. Add the indicator to your chart
2. Adjust ATR multipliers based on your risk tolerance (higher values = more conservative)
3. Configure the EMA filter based on market conditions (enable for trending, disable for ranging)
4. Set line limits to match your visual preference and chart timeframe
5. Monitor the dashboard to track strategy performance in real-time
6. Use the TP/SL boxes as reference levels for manual trades or automation
Best Practices:
- Enable EMA filter in strongly trending markets
- Disable EMA filter if you want more trade signals but at lower quality
- Increase ATR multipliers in highly volatile markets
- Decrease ATR multipliers for tighter, more frequent trades
- Review avg win/loss ratio to ensure positive expectancy
