PROTECTED SOURCE SCRIPT

Wick Highlighter

148
- Description

This script is a custom Multi-Wick Zone Highlighter that detects and highlights significant candle wicks on your chart. It is designed to work across multiple timeframes and uses time‑anchored boxes to “stick” to the original wick levels, ensuring that highlighted zones remain fixed even when panning or zooming the chart.

- Key Features

Wick Detection:
The script examines each candle to determine whether its upper or lower wick exceeds a user‑defined minimum size. Only wicks that meet or exceed this threshold are considered significant and trigger the creation of a highlight zone.

Zone Creation and Removal:
When a qualifying wick is detected, the script creates a colored zone (using anchored boxes) that spans from the wick tip to the candle’s body (top for upper wicks and bottom for lower wicks). Each zone remains visible until it is “filled” by subsequent price action. The fill condition is determined by a user‑adjustable fill percentage. For example, setting the fill percentage to 100% will remove the zone once the next candle’s high (for an upper wick) or low (for a lower wick) reaches the corresponding body level.

Multiple Zones:
This indicator supports multiple simultaneous zones. Each wick that qualifies is independently tracked and will not be overwritten by a later candle unless its fill condition is met. Separate flags ensure that if a candle fills an existing zone on one side, it does not create a new zone on that same side, maintaining clarity on your chart.

Time-Anchored Positioning:
To keep zones properly anchored even when you change timeframes or pan the chart, the script uses the bar’s time value rather than the bar index. This ensures that each zone remains fixed to the specific price levels where the wick was detected.

- Usage Notes

User-Adjustable Inputs:

Minimum Wick Size (Points): Set the minimum wick length to trigger a zone.
Wick Fill Percentage (%): Set the percentage into the wick at which the zone is considered filled and will be removed.
Zone Extend Bars: Control how far to the right (in terms of bars) each zone is extended.
Ideal For:
Traders who wish to visually identify key price zones based on significant candle wicks, and who require these zones to remain fixed and clear on the chart until they are actively filled by subsequent price movement.
