TWP Chart Period Breaks█ OVERVIEW
This script plots historical and one future vertical line at the higher timeframe.period time mark of your choosing along with the ability to create alerts that ping on the opening of the new bar on the timeframe and during the market session that you have selected. This script adds body to the default "session breaks" that Tradingview provides within the chart settings. It can be a hassle visually keeping track of time when trading but particularly when day trading. Timing is so important and I needed some visual assistance aka some guard rails for my mind to operate in, in order to better execute my trades. I hope this helps you too.
█ CONCEPTS
The script takes some simple steps to plot vertical lines onto your chart with some extra goodies to go the extra yard.
█ FEATURES

Analisi candlestick
small channel in 5minThis indicator designed for 5min time-frame.
it detects a candlestick pattern in one hour time-frame and draw a channel based on the detected pattern, where two candles and are covered by the third one , in 5 min time-frame.
the bottom, middle and top of the channel are colored by green, gray and red respectively. this channel may help user to use it as a possible support and resistance region.
(the pattern is defined in line 11 to 13.)

Bar StatisticsThis script calculates and displays some bar statistics.
For the bar length statistics, it takes every length of upper or lower movements and calculates their average (with SD), median, and max. That way, you can see whether there is a bias in the market or not.
Eg.: If for 10 bars, the market moved 2 up, then 1 down, then 3 up, then 2 down, and 2 up, the average up bars length would be at 2.33, while the average for the down length would be at 1.5, showing that upper movements last longer than down movements.
For the range statistics, it takes the true range of each bar and calculates where the close of the bar is in relation to the true low of it. So if the closing of the bar is at 10.0, the low is at 9.0, and the high is at 10.2, the candle closed in the upper third of the bar. This process is calculated for every bar and for both closing prices and open prices. It is very useful to locate biasses, and they can you a better view of the market, since for most of the time a bar will open on an extreme and close on another extreme.
Eg.: Here on the DJI, we can see that for most of the time, a month opens at the lower third (near the low) and closes at the upper third (near the high). We can also see that it is very difficult for a month to open or close on the middle of the candle, showing how important the first and the last day are for determining the trend of the rest of the month.
Pivot Points on SR linesAnalyzing price movements for a few years taught me one thing - markets always reverse bouncing off some horizontal Support/Resistance level. The only exception to this rule is when market pops new ATH (All Time High), which certainly happened in so-called "price discovery" run - this asset has never been in this space before, so no Support/Resistance could have been formed, while the rally had to stop at some point anyway.
In all other cases, analyzing past market movements, you will be able to find a place where the market reversed or gathered before. The difficulty is to understand (or guess?) from which S/R level market will reverse right now, because there are many of them. Even if this is probably not possible to make such guess correctly and always, it is good to know when potential reversal shown by whatever indicator you're using happened on SR line or in the middle of nowhere. That last case would turn out to be fake to your worst regrets. Ability to filter-out all those fake pivots is a value my indicator delivers.
Example? It is very often considered an entry signal when Stochastic %K and %D lines cross each other, especially in overbought/oversold area. It could work quite well in sideways markets, but when a trend begins, Stochastic would report CONSECUTIVE counter-trend signals, draining your trading balance to zero quickly. But this trend took place in price-discovery area (not necessarily when going for the new ATH ), so all those counter-trend signals happened not at S/R levels. Hence, they should be ignored.
Big triangles mark pivot point which happened on the S/R line. Small triangles - in the middle of nowhere.
How good is it? I compared it with one of my previous scripts, the "PivotPoints with Momentum confirmation" (), this new script confirms only 1/3 of pivots in the old script on 1m EURUSD chart. Filtering out 2/3 of potentially bad entries is a good result, I'd say :)
This script also fires alerts - alert is triggered as soon as PivotPoint is noticed, on a candle close.
I strongly recommend NOT using it not using this indicator as a standalone indicator. There is so much information you should take into consideration as well - market bias, volume , higher timeframe trend... To make it convenient to join PivotPoints information with other indicators, I have "exported" one plot so you can include it in your own - just use input.source in your own code to have it return 1 for PivotLow ( aka Long entry) and -1 for PivotHigh ( aka Short entry).

Pivot Reversal Strategy + alerts via TradingConnector to indicesSoftware part of algotrading is simpler than you think. TradingView is a great place to do this actually. To present it, I'm publishing each of the default strategies you can find in Pinescript editor's "built-in" list with slight modification - I'm only adding 2 lines of code, which will trigger alerts, ready to be forwarded to your broker via TradingConnector and instantly executed there. Alerts added in this script: 14 and 22.
How it works:
1. TradingView alert fires.
2. TradingConnector catches it and forwards to MetaTrader4/5 you got from your broker.
3. Trade gets executed inside MetaTrader within 1 second of fired alert.
When configuring alert, make sure to select "alert() function calls only" in CreateAlert popup. One alert per ticker is required.
Adding stop-loss, take-profit, trailing-stop, break-even or executing pending orders is also possible. These topics have been covered in other example posts.
This routing works for Forex, indices, stocks, crypto - anything your broker offers via their MetaTrader4 or 5.
Disclaimer: This concept is presented for educational purposes only. Profitable results of trading this strategy are not guaranteed even if the backtest suggests so. By no means this post can be considered a trading advice. You trade at your own risk.
If you are thinking to execute this particular strategy, make sure to find the instrument, settings and timeframe which you like most. You can do this by your own research only.

Super D2Momentum Indicator based on previous candle structure over past 40 periods
- Blue is momentum score
- Green = 15 ema
- Red = 50 sma
- orange = 100 sma
The indicator looks at the previous candles differences between open, close, high, and low to determine momentum. A high close relative to open or low indicates very strong momentum for example.
TICK and Price Action Indicator for NQ 5 minuteThis indicator for 5 minute NQ charts utilises TICK index and price action.
Where TICK opens beyond +1000/-1000 this is an overbought/oversold signal.
Similarly, when TICK closes below -200 it is a sell signal, and above +200 it is a buy signal.
This indicator colours the NQ bars based on the closing/opening values of the previous TICK.
It also draws arrows where price action (close above previous high, close below previous low) is in concordance with TICK behaviour.
Start of week CandlesI was checking some concepts about weekly profiles and Monday range.
This scripts highlights monday and tuesday in forex/futures and mondays in stocks. The weekly direction is mostly defined monday and tuesday, if tuesday crosses monday high or low, following days will continue same direction.
Gann Square of 9Gann's Square's are some of the best known tools created by Gann. His most well known square was his Square of 9.
The reason for this was because of the symmetry 9 had with itself. Gann was able to balance both price and time with this symmetry.
- 9 is the last single-digit and largest number
- You can add anything to 9 and it will give you a natural number
- (9 + 3 = 12); 1 + 2 = 3... (9 + 9 = 18); 1 + 8 = 9... etc.
- Multiplying any number by 9 will have the natural number be 9
- (9 * 6 = 54); 5 + 4 = 9... (9 * 3 = 27); 2 + 7 = 9... etc.
For these reason, Gann claimed that 9 has everything within itself.
Here I have created an on-chart square of 9 including the cardinal and ordinal cross points colored. In the settings you are able to customize the starting value of the table as well as the period movement. In most cases, 81 is not high enough to be useful in charting cases, so I'd recommend printing out your own Gann Square of 9 that goes as high as you need it to go.
THIS IS NOT TRADING ADVICE ; please use your own technical analysis before making any decisions based off of public indicators. Learn more about Gann's Squares before attempting to use them as this script was not meant to give you answers, only the table.
Trend lines + Pivot Levels + Candlestick PatternsThis is a pure PRICE ACTION indicator that will show you possible trend lines, pivot lines and candlestick patterns at once.
it has been designed to determine upper and lower trend lines in the chart and you can set candlestick patterns on them with alerts!
it means that you add the indicator to the chart and set the alert and done!
whenever a pinbar or engulf or breakout(in both directions) happens, you will be notified by alerts.
you also have pivot lines on the chart by this indicator. you can set the candlesticks on pivots instead of trend lines, so if you are a fan of support and resistance you can have this one, it depends on you.
all of the pivots and trend lines and also the candle sticks are customizable, so you can exactly select the pinbar, engulfing or breakout candle that matches with your mindset. for example you can set a pinbar that long shadow is 4 times or 3 times greater than the body, it's on you.
you can also customize trendlines or pivot lines, if you are scalper you can set it to small trend lines and if you are day trader or long term trader you can set it to the number that fits with your strategy.
trends and pivots will be updated automatically and there is no need to set it every time.
Be PROFITABLE!

[CP]Pivot Boss Candlestick Scanner - No Repainting This indicator is based on the high probability candlestick patterns described in the ’Secrets of a Pivot Boss’ book.
The indicator does not suffer from repainting.
I have kept this indicator open source, so that you can take this indicator and design a complete trading system around it.
Although the patterns have some statistical edge in the markets, blindly using them as Buy/Sell Indicators will certainly result in a heavy loss.
I like some of these setups more than others, and I have listed them in the order of my likeness.
The first one I like the most, the last one, I like the least.
The patterns are universal and work well in both intraday, daily and even larger timeframes.
Signals in the example charts are manually marked by,
Hammer - profitable short signal
Rocket - profitable long signal
X - unprofitable long or short signal
GENERAL USER INPUTS:
These settings exist as the indicator uses ‘Labels’ to mark the patterns and Pine Script limits a maximum of 500 labels on a chart.
If you want to go back in the past and check how the indicator was doing, set the Start and End dates both and check the ’Use the date range above to mark the Candlestick Setups?’ option.
EXTREME REVERSAL SETUP:
This is by far my favorite setup in the lot. Classic Mean Reversion setup.
The logic, as explained in the book, goes like this,
1. The first bar of the pattern is about two times larger than the average size of the candles in the lookback period.
2. The body of the first bar of the pattern should encompass more than 50 percent of the bar’s total range, but usually not more than 85 percent.
3. The second bar of the pattern opposes the first.
The setup works extremely well in high beta stocks like Vedanta VEDL.
Feel free to play with the settings in order to better align this pattern with your favorite stock.
Check out the examples below,
No indicator is perfect, failed patterns are marked with an X.
OUTSIDE REVERSAL SETUP:
My second favorite setup, it is quite good at catching intraday trends.
Here’s the logic,
1. The engulfing bar of a bullish outside reversal setup has a low that is below the prior bar’s low and a close that is above the prior bar’s high. Reverse the conditions for bearish outside reversal.
2. The engulfing bar is usually 5 to 25 percent larger than the size of the average bar in the lookback period.
Settings for this pattern simply reflect these conditions. Feel free to modify them as you wish.
The pattern is pretty powerful and will sometimes help you catch literally all the highs and lows of the market, as shown in the examples of Vedanta VEDL and RELIANCE stocks below.
As usual, this pattern is not PERFECT either.
DOJI REVERSAL SETUP:
Doji candles signify market indecision and this pattern tries to profit off these market conditions.
Logic:
1. The open and close price of the doji should fall within 10 percent of each other, as measured by the total range of the candlestick.
2. For a bullish doji, the high of the doji candlestick should be below the ten-period simple moving average. Vice-versa for bearish.
3. For a bullish doji setup, one of the two bars following the doji must close above the high of the doji. Vice-versa for bearish.
Feel free to modify the settings and optimize according to the stock you are trading.
Don't optimize too much :)
This pattern works brilliantly well on larger intraday timeframes, like 15m/30m/60m.
This pattern also has a higher propensity to give false indications than the two described above.
Doji reversal typically helps to catch larger trend reversals. Check out the examples below from RELIANCE and NIFTY charts,
Note that the RELIANCE chart below is the same as shown for the Outside Reversal Setup above, notice the confluence of Outside
Reversal and Doji Reversal on the 31st August.
Confluence of patterns usually increases the probability of success.
RELIANCE 15m Chart - Pattern can catch nice trends on higher timeframes
NIFTY 15m Chart
WICK REVERSAL SETUP:
This pattern tries to capture candlesticks with large wick sizes, as they often indicate trend reversal when coupled with significant support and resistance levels.
Logic:
1. The body is used to determine the size of the reversal wick. A wick that is between 2.5 to 3.5 times larger than the size of the body is ideal.
2. For a bullish reversal wick to exist, the close of the bar should fall within the top 35 percent of the overall range of the candle.
3. For a bearish reversal wick to exist, the close of the bar should fall within the bottom 35 percent of the overall range of the candle.
This pattern must always be coupled with important support resistance levels, else there will be a lot of false signals.
The chart below is the same NIFTY chart as above with the Wick Reversal candles marked as well.
You can see that there are a lot of false signals, but the price also indicates ’pausing’ at important levels by printing a wick reversal setup.
You can use this information to your advantage when riding a trend.
FINAL WORDS:
Settings for various patterns simply reflect the logic described.
You will probably need to tweak and optimize the pattern settings for the stock that you are trading.
Higher Beta/Higher Volatility stocks are a great choice for these patterns.
Using these patterns at critical support and resistance levels will result in dramatically high accuracy.
Be creative and try to develop a proper system around this indicator, with rules for position sizing, stop loss etc.
You do not have to trade all the patterns. Even trading just one pattern with a proper system is good enough.
DO NOT USE THIS INDICATOR AS A BUY/SELL SYSTEM, YOU WILL LOSE MONEY.
Feel free to drop any feedback in the comments section below, or if you have any unique candlestick patterns that you would like me to code.
counting（kojiro koshi's idea)This is an indicator that expresses the strength of a candlestick in numbers.
The criteria are as follows
Candlestick is bullish:+1,bearish:-1,（If the value is more than twice the ATR, the score is 2 and -2, respectively.)
Close is higher than the previous value: +1, lower: -1
High is higher than the previous value: +1, lower: -1
Low is higher than the previous value: +1, lower: -1
gap up: +1, gap down: -1
This Display only if the total number of points is greater or less than 4.

Trade Central 2-Bars ScalperTrade Central 2-Bar Scalper is a scalping signal indicator based on short term price action using candlesticks. If 2 consecutive green candles form which are less than the max bar length defined in settings then indicator gives a buy signal. Similarly, if 2 consecutive red candles form then it gives a sell signal. It sounds very simple but it is a very powerful and popular scalping method. Along with the signal, you should pay attention to the candle formations, e.g. if there is a buy signal but you see a significant wick on top of signal candles then you may want to avoid that signal. Same for short.
Indicator shows bars in 3 colors - Green, Red and White. Signal candles, i.e. long and short, are green and red respectively. Rest of the candles are white and no action is needed when candles are white.
Trading using the script is simple - you enter a long trade on a green bar and enter a short trade on red bar. Detailed rules for trade execution are mentioned below.
Trading Rules
Recommended Timeframe: 3 minute
Go LONG after a green bar when signal candle high is broken. For example, on BTC chart if signal candle (green) high is 50000 then enter at least 3-5 points above it, i.e. 50003. If the signal candle high isn't broken then wait for that to happen, but signal/trade gets invalidated if the signal candle low is broken before signal candle high is broken .
Go SHORT after a red bar when signal candle low is broken. For example, on BTC chart if signal candle (red) low is 50000 then enter at least 3-5 points below it, i.e. 49997. If the signal candle low isn't broken then wait for that to happen, but signal/trade gets invalidated if the signal candle high is broken before signal candle low is broken .
For SL, we will use fixed profit and SL targets. For BTC, we recommend setting 100 points SL and 50 points target. That's a risk-to-reward of 1:0.5 which may look very bad, but the success rate of this strategy is very high (>70%) hence you would still be profitable. You can also try with 1:1 risk-to-reward ratio and that too should work fine though we haven't backtested it.
Default settings work best on 3 minute timeframe and has been tested on BTC. If you're applying the indicator on something else then ensure that you update the length as per security price you plan to trade. Will share backtested data and detailed explanation over a YouTube video.
Will strongly recommend paper trading in desired market/asset before executing live trades.

JS Bull/Bear PowerI created this Indicator for all chart lovers.
This Indicator measures the wick parts of candles and sum it up. Wick part of candle is a sign of strength that's why it measures the 60 bars of candles wick. then sum it up and converted it in percentage. The output is indicated in the last 10 candles. that's how simple this indicator is but very useful to analyze the strength of every candles.
The upper numbers is the bear power.
The lower numbers is the bull power.
Happy Trading

Poor ReversalsPoor Reversals Indicator
This indicator finds Poor Reversals. Poor reversals are reversals in price with consecutive highs or lows that are close together. Look for the different types of highs and lows. Some say candle patterns don't matter, but they forget it's the orderflow that makes the pattern. Find poor, tweezer, and 1 tic rejections and study what happens next. We don't need to read the depth of market to see what the orderflow is saying. They are called poor because the auction didn't run its course. It didn't continue the direction until all activity in that direction was exhausted. Proper reversals create excess. Excess is a long tail/wick. A proper reversal leaves a long tailed excess unfilled.
The different highs and lows give clues to what kind of orderflow happened there. The difference between them is which high or low happened first. Price does often come back to these areas and clears them up with a proper reversal. We can see them on all timeframes. Knowing what they mean in the orderflow helps with reading charts.
The Poor Reversals are:
Poor
1 Tick Rejection
Tweezer
When looking at 2 bars that have very close high or lows, there are a few different types. They are each poor and can be further defined as each are price action clues.
If next low is higher, it's a poor low
If next low is lower, it's 1 tic rejection
If next low is equal, it's tweezer bottom
If next high is lower, it's a poor low
If next high is higher it's 1 tic rejection
If next high is equal it's tweezer bottom
Poor Highs and Lows:
The high or low comes first. The next bar does not go past it. Poor highs and lows are often created from price exhaustions. This means at poor highs buyers are trapped. At poor lows sellers are trapped. Price ran out of steam to continue in that direction. There wasn't enough activity and participation to continue the auction in that direction.
Poor lows are defined when 2 lows are very close, and the 1st bar is lower. The 2nd comes very close to a new low. It happens most when shorts, at the moment, "run out of steam". They were "too aggressive" and got themselves "short in the hole". When a poor low is made, price will bounce because shorts are buying to protect profits.
Poor highs are defined when 2 highs are very close. The 1st bar is higher. The 2nd comes very close to a new high. It happens most when longs, at the moment, "run out of steam". They were "too aggressive" and got themselves "long in the tooth". When a poor high is made, price will pullback because longs are selling to protect profits.
1 Tick Rejections:
The high or low comes last. The next bar goes just a little bit beyond it. A "1 tic rejection" happens when a new low is made and quickly rejects. The name is misleading. It doesn't have to be "1 tic". Different markets have different measurements. For ES, it's less than 8 tics. For NQ, it's about 5-20 points. It varies depending on relative market volatility.
1 Tick highs are defined when 2 highs are very close, and the 1st bar is lower. This happens when longs are aggressive and drive price up. Price makes a newer high and longs rapidly start taking profits. Their selling activity drives price lower. In the orderflow, longs likely closed at the same time new shorts sell. This competition to sell drives price lower. At the high, it says longs saw it wouldn't go higher and they took rapid exit.
1 Tick lows are defined when 2 lows are very close, and the 1st bar is lower. This happens when shorts are aggressive and drive price down. Price makes a newer low and shorts rapidly start taking profits. Their buying activity drives price higher. In the orderflow, shorts likely closed at the same time new longs buy. This competition to buy drives price higher. At the low, it says shorts saw it wouldn't go lower and they took rapid exit.
Tweezer Tops and Bottoms
The highs or lows of the bars are equal. Tweezers most often mean that an aggressive trader is influencing price. They drove price in one direction and then quickly reversed sentiment. Tweezers most often happens in stop hunts. An aggressive trader found where the stops were located and then entered an aggressive order to turn the market.
Tweezer Tops are defined when 2 highs are equal. The first bar sets the high. The second bar matches the high. This happens when there is an active seller entering. It could be simple profit taking from longs or new aggressive shorts. In bull trends, price will move up to find short stop. When the stops are found, the market reverses sharply lower.
Tweezer Bottoms are defined when 2 lows are equal. The first bar sets the low. The second bar matches the low. This happens when there is an active buyer entering. It could be simple profit taking from shorts or new aggressive longs. In bull trends, price will move up to find long stops. When the stops are found, the market reverses sharply higher.
Poor Reversals can be poor, 1 Tick Rejections, or Tweezers. They are all considered poor and upon further investigation we can see they are created from different conditions in the orderflow. They are not called Poor Reversals because they are weak. They are called poor because of the action that happened there. One side got caught in a bad position. Other sharks in the market smelled blood and ripped them apart.
This indicator is a work in process. While the concepts are great for real time trading, this indicator is not designed to be used in real time trading. It will repaint based on the bar close. The purpose of this indicator is to train our brains to see these nuances on candle charts. Some say candle patterns don't matter, but they forget it's the orderflow that makes the pattern. We must make split second decisions and knowing the context behind the orderflow reduces response time. These poor reversals don't have to retest, and the best ones won't come back. I use these concepts to find exits, where my trades might be wrong, confirmation I'm on the right side. It's amazing how these simple nuances can turn the markets. But sure enough, they do. Check them out in all time frames.
It's a fun indicator to play with. Some markets do require tweaks to the “Ticks” setting. Too big and charts will be noisy. Too low and not much will show up. A general rule of thumb is more volatile markets need higher tick values while less volatile need lower Tick values. Higher timeframes are also more reliable than lower time frames. I've included some customizable settings and I plan on adding more in the future. Enjoy!
Ehlers Instantaneous Phase Dominant Cycle [CC]The Instantaneous Phase Dominant Cycle was created by John Ehlers (Stocks & Commodities V. 18:3 (16-27)) and this is one of many similar indicators that I will be publishing from Ehlers in the next few months that calculate the current dominant cycle period. The cycle period can be used in multiple ways but generally this means that if the stock is currently at a low then the current cycle period will tell you when the next lowest low will get hit or vice versa. This is also useful for using this cycle period as an input for other indicators to provide a very good adaptive length. Let me know how you wind up using these indicators in your daily trading. I have included the same buy and sell signals from my recent Hilbert Transform and so buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.
Let me know if there are any other indicators you would like to see me publish!

Sagar sir - N Continuous candle green with +ve % changeThis script will plot labels based on N number of continuous green candle with +ve % change.
Trigrams based on Candle PatternThis script matches a Trigram for the current candle from its pattern Bullish/Bearish: Marubozu, Hammer, Inverted Hammer, Spinning Top.
The source for Trigram to candlestick pattern can be found online. I'm missing the reputation to add the link here.
Heaven = Bearish Marubozu
Earth = Bullish Marubozu
Thunder = Bearish Spinning Top
Water = Bullish Inverted Hammer
Mountain = Bullish Hammer
Wind = Bullish Spinning Top
Flame = Bearish Hammer
Lake = Bearish Inverted Hammer
The idea is simple. It takes the current candles pattern to match the Trigram.
Inspired by the Trigram Script from ByzantineSC
