SubCandleI created this script as POC to handle specific cases where not having tick data on historical bars create repainting. Happy to share if this serves purpose for other coders.
What is the function of this script?
Script plots a sub-candle which is remainder of candle after forming the latest peak.
Higher body of Sub-candle refers to strong retracement of price from its latest peak. Color of the sub-candle defines the direction of retracement.
Higher wick of Sub-candle refers to higher push in the direction of original candle. Meaning, after price reaching its peak, price retraced but could not hold.
Here is a screenshot with explanation to visualise the concept:
Settings
There is only one setting which is number of backtest bars. Lower timeframe resolution which is used for calculating the Sub-candle uses this number to automatically calculate maximum possible lower timeframe so that all the required backtest windows are covered without having any issue.
We need to keep in mind that max available lower timeframe bars is 100,000. Hence, with 5000 backtest bars, lower timeframe resolution can be about 20 (100000/5000) times lesser than that of regular chart timeframe. We need to also keep in mind that minimum resolution available as part of security_lower_tf is 1 minute. Hence, it is not advisable to use this script for chart timeframes less than 15 mins.
Application
I have been facing this issue in pattern recognition scripts where patterns are formed using high/low prices but entry and targets are calculated based on the opposite side (low/high). It becomes tricky during extreme bars to identify entry conditions based on just the opposite peak because, the candle might have originated from it before identifying the pattern and might have never reached same peak after forming the pattern. Due to lack of tick data on historical bars, we cannot use close price to measure such conditions. This leads to repaint and few unexpected results. I am intending to use this method to overcome the issue up-to some extent.

Inside Bar SetupScript Details
- This script plots Inside Bar for given day in selected time-frame (applicable only for Timeframes < Day)
- Basis plotted inside bar, relevant targets are marked on the chart
- Targets can be customised from script settings. Example, if range of mother candle is 10 points, then T1 is 10 * x above/below mother candle and T2 is 10 * y above/below mother candle. This x & y are configured via script settings
How to use this script ?
- This script works well on 10-15 mins timeframe for stocks, 15/30 mins timeframe for nifty index and 30/60 mins time frame for bank nifty index
- If mother candle high is broken, take long trade with SL of mother candle low and if low is broken, take short trade with SL of mother candle high
Remember:
1. Above logic is to be combined with support/resistances i.e. price action. This script is an add-on to price action analysis giving you more conviction.
2. If range of mother candle is very high, it is recommended to avoid the trade.
3. Basis inside bar formed on higher time frame, take trade on basis of lower time frame i.e if inside bar is formed on 60 mins, take trade on the basis of 10-15 mins time frame
Example:
1. As seen in the chart, Nifty is near it's resistance and we are seeing Inside Bar being formed, In such scenario, even if High of Mother Candle is broken, we should be more interested to short as we are near resistance and probability of getting our targets in long side is less.
2. So, if I see breakdown of mother candle i.e. price going below low of mother candle, we will short with SL of high of mother candle.
3. As seen in the chart, both the targets are achieved.
Additional Info:
1. Targets on Long/Short Side can be configured via settings. For indices 1 times/1.5 times the range works well.
2. This script plots targets basis the first inside bar formed in the day for selected time frame.
3. Inside bars formed through out the day are coloured separately but lines are plotted only on the basis of 1st formed inside bar as this strategy works well for the first formed inside bar)
4. Don't forget to check volume in case of breakout/breakdown.
Note:
1. Mother Candle - First Candle of Inside Bar
2. Child Candle - Candle formed inside Mother Candle (Second Candle of Inside Bar)
Happy Trading :)

MTF Heikinashi BarOVERVIEW
This indicator shows whether Heikin Ashi is up or down, represented by a bar. This indicator is compatible with MTF.
CONCEPTS
What do you want to know about market analysis?
Do you want a hard analysis? You can look for it.
All I want to know is whether the commonly known technical analysis is 'UP' or 'DOWN'.
All I want to know is whether the current market price is going up or down. Not only for the current, but also for the monthly, weekly, and daily status.
I want to make a decision in a moment. Without even thinking about it.
That is why I created a color-coded bar indicator to show the status.
No need to frown anymore.
DETAILS
Heikin means average. Ashi means legs. In this case, it means a candle.
Close = (Close + Open + High + Low) / 4

Heikin Ashi Up ⇒ green
Heikin Ashi Down ⇒ red
Inside Bar FinderInside bars occur when the range of a candlestick falls entirely within the previous candlestick's range. This indicates volatility contraction which often leads to volatility expansion, i.e. large price movements.
This indicator includes options such as:
- The number of consecutive inside bars required to trigger the indicator
- Signal lines to indicate the high and low of the outermost or innermost bars
Try out this indicator with different options on different timeframes to see if inside bars increase the probability of identifying the direction of price movements. Breaks or closes outside the inside or outside signal lines can be used to trigger trade signals.
50% Strat RetracementThe purpose of this script is to show/alert you when there is a 50% Strat Reversal. It works very well to find possible 3 candles.
The arrows, and line can be turned on and off.
You can change the 50% to say 45% so that you will be alerted before it actually hits the 50% retracement.
The script will only alert if the reversal is a 2up red candle, a 2up green candle which will hopefully turn into a 3 candle.
Bullish & Bearish EngulfingA simple script to filter out bullish and bearish engulfing candles. Size of candles can be filtered.
Engulfing Candle Marker (Full Candle)A simple indicator that marks FULL CANDLE engulfing candles...
current high > previous high
current low < previous low
bullish: close > open (triangle below)
bearish: close < open (triangle above)
A lot of the engulfing indicators available are body only. I created a FULL CANDLE indicator because that's what I prefer using.
Can be useful for spotting both reversal and continuation price action. Always have a complete trading plan and backtest it for yourself, engulfing candles in themselves to not guarantee a profit.
You are more powerful than you know...keep expanding!
Flag DetectorThis script attempts to find consolidations or retracements within the context of a previous uptrend - basically looking for flag type patterns. It first measures an initial move (referred to as the flag pole in this script) and then looks for consolidation after that move within a certain range. If the consolidation is within the rage, it plots a dot under the candle to show you the consolidation areas. It's not fool proof, but seems to do a decent job of identifying pullbacks and sideways consolidations reasonably well.
3 Line Strike [TTF]This indicator is a spin-off of the popular TMA Overlay indicator made by request of the original author that narrows down the scope to simply identifying a couple of key candlestick patterns - Engulfing candles and 3 Line Strikes.
In addition to being a far more tailored and purpose-specific indicator, we have also update the indicator code to the latest version of Pinescript and added some enhanced alerts.
Candle Stick UpdateHeikin ashi chart so powerful that you can understand trend direction easily. But sometimes, this type of chart doesn't update properly and make no sense on real time. So I made this script. You can now change candle stick style default to heikin ashi (default / modified version) on the real time default chart without switching heikin ashi chart. Enjoy traders!!!

Dante Bullish/Bearish EngulfingBearish and Bullish engulfings as taught by Tom Dante Piccin. Different from other bullish/bearish engulfing indicators because other indicators only want the body of the current candle to engulf the previous body.
This indicator needs the low and high of the current candle to engulf the previous one and also in the example of a bullish engulfing close above the previous candle high or in a bearish engulfing example close below the low of the previous candle.
RSI In-Chart Indicator with Candle StickSimplified RSI with in Chart Indicator for better analysis, What is does? it simply plot OB/OS over candles for better understanding. Also you can on/of candle stick along side in setting but the RSI is always on.

Fake breakHi Traders,
I've developed an indicator which can detect fake-breaks on the chart.
In the following you'll find the definition of the fake break candles and also you will find how to recognize it on the chart with practical examples.
What is the fake break pattern?
Sometimes support and resistance lines broke with a full body and strong candles that gives us the idea of sharp movements on the chart but suddenly the next candle returns all the path of the previous candle. in this case we can say fake break is happening on the chart.
This indicator detect fake break patterns based on two criteria:
1. It uses AverageTrueRange indicator to measure the strength of the pattern.
2. The returning candle should engulf minimum 75% of the break candle.
This indicator plot 2 terms in the name of "FB-D" and "FB-U" that are abbreviations of the "Fake Break Down" and "Fake Break Up".
You can also set alerts to get notified when fake breakout happens on the chart.
Notice: This pattern is only acceptable in valid support and resistance zones and you can not rely on it everywhere on the chart (specially in the middle of the waves).
Notice: The source code of this indicator is open and you are allowed to use it on your scripts by mentioning the name of author.
Disclaimer: This is not a financial advice or any signal to buy or sell, the goal of developing such an indicator is to use for educational purposes.
PopGun Trading, PG Pattern DetectorPopGun Bar Pattern Strategy
PG Trading
The indicator does the following:
It detects the Outside Bar, the smaller inside Bar and the 3rd Pop Gun that is bigger, than the inside Bar.
When the Pop Gun was detected, the indicator will calculate 3 targets for long and short trades.
In our understanding, a Pop Gun is neutral. The next candles after the Pop Gun will decide if the PG breakout is bullish or bearish.
So if one of the next candles after the PG is breaking the high or low of the PG Candle, this is a breakout confirmation and can traded long or short.
We are using the PG Indicator for Stock, Futures and Index Trading.
The Script uses 3 targets per default, but you can extend the target dots up to 6.
If you want to see the targets in plain text, you can activate the PG Box.
The targets are calculated really easy: Just the height of the candle multiplied with 1, 2 and 3 (4,5 and 6 additionally). In some communities there is an ATR calculation for more extended targets but it seems, that the ATR Calculation will sometimes lead to unreachable targets if the ATR is really high intraday...
We trade PopGuns starting at M15 chart. I think PGs smaler than M15 are not worth a trade...
Maybe i will add the ATR Function in the future just to compare the 2 ways to calculate PG targets. We are really doing well with 1,2,3 targets based on the PG Candle size. (Low to High).
Please leave a comment if you have some feature requests or input to make this the best Pop Gun Indicator in Trading View ;-)
Doji FinderModified version of HPotter's "Doji and Near Doji automatic finding script".
Candles are classified based on not just the size of the body but also the distance from the close to the high/low. This avoids classifying a reversal candle with a long wick but a strong close as a doji.
BTC Price TrendThe crypto market is reacting very quickly based on BTC price, thus monitoring the BTC price is very helpful.
This script will color the candles based on the BTC price trend. Set the timeframe and down/up percentage to monitor the BTC price trend, and the script should not repaint.
The indicator will monitor the BTC price in a high frame, for example, for 4 hours, if the price goes down the set percentage during one candle, will change the candle color. Thereafter, if the price goes up within a small timeframe (as you set) then the candle color will be changed.
So, in case the bar color is red, then it is recommended to avoid trading since the BTC price is down trending.
The indicator is requesting the BTC price as of now, and the previous closed price, then it will calculate the price difference, if it result is minus, then the price is in a downtrend, else it is in an uptrend.
Better Heiken-Ashi Candles w/ Expanded Source Types [Loxx]Better Heiken-Ashi Candles w/ Expanded Source Types is an indicator to compare regular candles to traditional Heiken-Ashi candles to "better" Heiken Ashi candles. This indicator and comparison study appears an oscillator. The purpose of this indicator is to demonstrate a better way to calculate HA candles and also to demonstrate expanded source types. This indicator is meant to be used by advanced Pine Coders who wish to add fine-tuning to their indicators and strategies.
What are Heiken Ashi "better" candles?
The "better formula" was proposed in an article/memo by BNP-Paribas (In Warrants & Zertifikate, No. 8, August 2004 (a monthly German magazine published by BNP Paribas, Frankfurt), there is an article by Sebastian Schmidt about further development (smoothing) of Heikin-Ashi chart.)
They proposed to use the following :
(Open+Close)/2+(((Close-Open)/(High-Low))*ABS((Close-Open)/2))
instead of using :
haClose = (O+H+L+C)/4
According to that document the HA representation using their proposed formula is better than the traditional formula.
What are traditional Heiken-Ashi candles?
The Heikin-Ashi technique averages price data to create a Japanese candlestick chart that filters out market noise.
Heikin-Ashi charts, developed by Munehisa Homma in the 1700s, share some characteristics with standard candlestick charts but differ based on the values used to create each candle. Instead of using the open, high, low, and close like standard candlestick charts, the Heikin-Ashi technique uses a modified formula based on two-period averages. This gives the chart a smoother appearance, making it easier to spots trends and reversals, but also obscures gaps and some price data.
What's going on with this indicator?
- First, we have the options to select the candlestick type: Regular, HA, HA Better
- Next, and to demonstrate the expanded source types, I've added a simple moving average. In the drop down for the SMA source you'll notice something very different from the typical TradingView source selector. Here's how to decode the new names for the sources:
Close = close
Open = open
High = high
Low = low
Median = hl2
Typical = hlc3
Weighted = hlcc4
Average = ohlc4
Average Median Body = (open+close)/2
Trend Biased = (see code, too complex to explain here)
Trend Biased (extreme) = (see code, too complex to explain here)
... for HA and HA better, see the same set up as above but with different open and close values to calcualate the other source types
- For the HA better calculations, we run the close value through either an Adaptive, Kaufman, or T3 smoothing filter. The length for these smoothing filters, either 2 or 3, can be found in the code and is a constant value that shouldn't be changed. This smoothing is in inline with what is described in the article mentioned above
- Lastly, I've placed an SMA over the oscillator so that the user can test out the various sources explained above
Included:
- Toggle on/off bar coloring
Wick Pressure/Close point inside the barCalculates the strength of closing within the bar. Higher the closing within the high/low points of the bar, greater is the buying strength and vice versa. HMA of the score for the input period is then divided by standard deviation for smoothing. Works well for higher timeframes with a larger data set. Compliments other indicators. Input period should be changed for various timeframes. Shorter the timeframe, the longer the input period is preferable.

Liquidity Heatmap LTF [LuxAlgo]This indicator displays column heatmaps highlighting candle bodies with the highest associated volume from a lower user selected timeframe.
Settings
LTF Timeframe: Lower timeframe used to retrieve the closing/opening price and volume data. Must be lower than the current chart timeframe.
Other settings control the style of the displayed graphical elements.
Usage
It can be of interest to show which candles from a lower timeframe had the highest associated volume, this allows for the highlighting of areas where a candle body was the most traded by market participants.
The area with the highest activity is highlighted in the script with a yellow color (or another user selected color) and additionally by two lines forming an interval.
When the candle body with the highest volume is overlapped by a candle body with lower volume this one will be highlighted instead, hence why certain areas of high activity might not be highlighted by the heatmap.
It is recommended to hide regular candles or use a more discrete graphical presentation of prices when using this tool. Lines are also displayed to highlight the full candle range as well as if a candle was bullish (in green) or bearish (in red). These lines can be hidden if the user is only interested in the heatmap.
Volume Impulse & Candlestick Patterns - FontiramisuIndicator showing volume impulse & engulfing candlestick pattern.
You can set up multiple parameter for both events.
Volume Impulse :
Volume Period : Lenght of the average volume calculated.
Volume Multiplier : Factor to compare actual volume with average volume.
Engulfing Pattern :
VS avg body : Let you chose to compare body candle to average body of the last few candles (define with parameter : lenghtSizeAvgBody ), otherwise it will be compared to the last body candle.
Engulfing Multiplier : Factor to compare and validate the pattern.
Big Moves IndicatorThis indicator marks big candles (major moves in percentage) on the chart and, more importantly, you will be able to add an alert to them.
Indicator checks if the height (high - low) of last closed candle is bigger than the specified percent of the close of its previous. No matter if the last candle is red or green, the indicator compares the move amount with the previous close. Accordingly, seeing a mark above or below a candle means that there is a large movement in it compared to its previous candles.
Default percentage is 5 but you can change it as you with in the settings and I want to underline that the indicator ignores the non-closed candle at the moment.
CANDLE FILTER Todays scripts is based on my Pullback And Rally Candles with other meaningful candles such as Hammers and Dojis.
You can choose which Candles to show on the cart and if you want to candles to appear above or below a moving average.
If you follow my work, you may recognise some of these candles which I'm about to show you however these candles are 1) more refined and 2) has moving average filters.
Ive included a D,6H,1H Candle in this script as on different timeframes - each swing low on average has a different amount of bars within the swing low / swing high so the DPB and RD will only work on the Daily
//Pullback candle
This candle is very powerful when used with simple Price Action such as Market Structure//Demand zones and support zones. (((((WORKS BEST IN UPTRENDS AND BOTTOM OF RANGES)))))
Ive included a D,6H,1H Pullback Candle in this script as on different timeframes - each swing low on average has a different amount of bars within the swing low so the DPB will only work on the Daily
//DAILY PULLBACK (Swing Traders)
snapshot
//4H PULLBACK (Swing Traders)
snapshot
- this signal will produce more signals due to the swing low filter on the 4H
//1H PULLBACK
snapshot
- this signal has been refined due to too many candle displaying in weak areas
!!!IF YOU DONT WANT TO USE PULLBACKS DURING DOWNTRENDS THEN USE THE EMA FILTER TO TURN OFF THE PULLBACKS WHEN PRICE IS BELOW THE MOVING AVERAGE!!!
//Rally candle (My personal Favourite) (((((WORKS BEST IN DOWNTRENDS AND TOP OF RANGES)))))
This candle is very powerful when used with simple Price Action such as Market Structure//Supply zones and Resistance zones.
//DAILY RALLY(Swing Traders)
snapshot
//4H RALLY(Swing Traders)
snapshot
- this signal will produce more signals due to the swing high filter on the 4H
!!!IF YOU DONT WANT TO USE RALLIES DURING UPTRENDSTHEN USE THE EMA FILTER TO TURN OFF THE RALLIES WHEN PRICE IS ABOVE THE MOVING AVERAGE!!!
//POWERFUL DOJIS (INDECISION)
snapshot
We look for indecision in key areas to see if momentum is shifting. When combined with Pullbacks or Rallys - this will enhance the odds of a probably area.
//HAMMERS

Short EMA = 50
Long EMA = 200
This filter can be used when the market is trending - look out for rejections off the moving averages
Also you can chance the Short And Long EMA to choose which MA cross you want to use
