Williams %R OB/OS Candle Coloring### Description for TradingView Publication
**Title:** Williams %R OB/OS Candle Coloring
**Description:**
This Pine Script indicator enhances the visibility of market conditions by changing the color of the candlesticks based on the Williams %R values. It helps traders quickly identify overbought and oversold conditions without the need to display the Williams %R line or any additional bands.
**How It Works:**
- The script calculates the Williams %R value using a specified lookback period (default is 14 days).
- It then compares the Williams %R value against predefined overbought and oversold levels.
- **Overbought Condition:** When the Williams %R value is greater than the upper band level (-20 by default), the candlestick color changes to blue.
- **Oversold Condition:** When the Williams %R value is less than the lower band level (-80 by default), the candlestick color changes to yellow.
**How to Use:**
1. **Input Parameters:**
- **Length:** The lookback period for calculating Williams %R (default is 14).
- **Upper Band Level:** The threshold for overbought conditions (default is -20).
- **Lower Band Level:** The threshold for oversold conditions (default is -80).
2. **Candlestick Coloring:**
- Blue candles indicate potential overbought conditions.
- Yellow candles indicate potential oversold conditions.
This indicator is designed to provide a visual cue directly on the price chart, making it easier for traders to spot extreme market conditions at a glance.
**Concepts Underlying the Calculation:**
Williams %R, developed by Larry Williams, is a momentum indicator that measures overbought and oversold levels. It compares the current closing price to the highest high and lowest low over a specified period. By using color-coded candles, traders can quickly assess market conditions and make informed decisions without the need to interpret an additional indicator line.
This script is particularly useful for traders who prefer a clean chart but still want to leverage the insights provided by the Williams %R indicator.

Momentum spotter(FogWalkerTrader) This a trend following indicator using simple moving averages and price close,high and low of recent candles to plot a buy or sell signal.
IMPORTANT - this indicator does not repaint.Traders need to wait untill the the closing of the candle though as the signal is dependant of the close of the period.
Buy Signal: Price closes above the 20, 50, and 200 simple moving averages (SMAs), with the 50 SMA above the 200 SMA, indicating a strong uptrend. The last 4 prices had their lows below the 5 SMA and highs above it.Plus, the current close is higher than the high from 4 periods ago, further suggesting a bullish move.
BUY = blue labelup plotted below candlestick
Sell Signal: Price closes below the 20, 50, and 200 SMAs, with the 50 SMA below the 200 SMA, signaling a strong downtrend. The last 4 prices had their highs above the 5 SMA and lows below it Plus, the current close is lower than the low from 4 periods ago, further suggesting a bearish move.
SELL = red labeldown plotted above candlestick.
IMPORTANT
It’s important to note that, like any trading tool, this isn't foolproof. The market can be unpredictable, leading to false signals. The logic behind these signals is sound, but due to the complexity and volatility of the market, there are times when the signals may not lead to the expected outcome. It's a useful tool, but it's wise to use it alongside other analyses to make more informed decisions.
Candle Color OverlayDescription:
The Candle Color Overlay (CCO) indicator is a powerful tool for visualizing price movements on a chart. It overlays the chart with customizable colors, highlighting bullish and bearish candles based on their open and close values. This indicator helps traders quickly identify the direction of price movements and assess market sentiment.
How it Works:
The Candle Color Overlay indicator performs the following steps:
1. Calculation of the OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close) values for each candle based on the selected timeframe.
2. Classification of each candle as bullish or bearish:
- A bullish candle is when the closing price is greater than or equal to the opening price.
- A bearish candle is when the closing price is lower than the opening price.
3. Overlaying colors on the chart:
- The indicator applies a bullish color to the background when candles are classified as bullish and a bearish color to the background when candles classified as bearish. This overlay provides a visual representation of price movements.
4. Optional display of price movement labels:
- If enabled, the indicator shows a text label at the bottom of the current candle, indicating the percentage increase or decrease in price during a bullish or bearish background period.
Usage:
To effectively use the Candle Color Overlay indicator, follow these steps:
1. Add the indicator to your chart from the list of available indicators.
2. Configure the indicator's inputs:
- Choose the desired color for bullish candles using the "Bullish Color" input.
- Select the preferred color for bearish candles using the "Bearish Color" input.
- Specify the timeframe for analysis using the "Time Frame" input (default is 1 hour).
- Optionally enable the "Show Background Price Movement" input to display the percentage increase or decrease in price during each background period.
3. Analyze the colored overlay:
- Bullish colors represent candles where the closing price is greater than or equal to the opening price, indicating bullish sentiment.
- Bearish colors represent candles where the closing price is lower than the opening price, indicating bearish sentiment.
4. If enabled, observe the price movement labels
5. Combine the insights from the colored overlay and the price movement labels with other technical analysis tools, such as trend lines, support and resistance levels, or candlestick patterns, to make well-informed trading decisions.
Bollinger Bands Inside barthe indicator name is Bollinger Band inside bar because it uses Bollinger Band and inside bar to take counter-trend positions in the market. whenever this pattern is formed then it can be used to take an entry into the market. the candlestick pattern recognizes 3 candle candlestick. first the mother bar i.e. the medium to the big size candle that intersects with the upper and the lower levels of the Bollinger band. the second candle should be an inside bar i.e. the high and low of the current bar should be less than the previous bar. finally, the last bar who's low should be less than the mother bar in case of the mother bar is at upper levels and if the mother bar is at lower levels then the candle's high should be more than the mother bar. the stop-loss should be high and low of the mother bar respectively. entry should be taken as soon as the low and high of the mother bar is taken out respectively. target should be 1:1 or 20 sma or lower Bollinger band in case the entry is taken from the top. works best if there is a trend and the market takes a pullback and this pattern is formed.

Bull/Bear Candle % Oscillator█ OVERVIEW
This script determines the proportion of bullish and bearish candles in a given sample size. It will produce an oscillator that fluctuates between 100 and -100, where values > 0 indicate more bullish candles in the sample and values < 0 indicate more bearish candles in the sample. Data produced by this oscillator is normalized around the 50% value, meaning that an even 50/50 split between bullish and bearish candles makes this oscillator produce 0; this oscillator indirectly represents the percent proportion of bullish and bearish candles in the sample (see HOW TO USE/INTERPRETATION OF DATA ).
It has two overarching settings: 'classic' and 'range'.
█ CONCEPTS
This script will cover concepts related to candlestick analysis, volumetric analysis, and lower timeframes.
Candlestick Analysis - The idea behind this script is to solely look at the candlesticks themselves and derive information from them in a given sample. It separates candles into two categories, bullish (close > open) and bearish (close < open).
If the indicator's setting is set to 'classic', the size of candles do not matter and all are assigned a value of 1 or 0.
If the indicator's setting is set to 'range', specific candle ranges modify the proportion of bullish/bearish values. Bullish candle values include all bullish candles in the set from their lows to the close, plus the lower wicks of all bearish candles. Bearish candle values include all bearish candles in the set from their highs to the close, plus the upper wicks of all bullish candles.
Volumetric Analysis - One of this script's features allows the user to modify the bullish and bearish candle proportions by its 'weight' determined by its volume compared to the sample set's total volume. Volumetric analysis for the 'range' setting are more complex than 'classic' as described below.
Lower Timeframes - For volumetric analysis to be done on candle wicks, there needed to be a way to determine how much volume had occurred in the wick by itself to find the weight of upper and lower wicks. To accomplish this, I employed PineScrypt's request.security_lower_tf function to grab OHLC values of lower timeframe candles (as well as volume) to determine how much volume had occurred in the wicks of the chart resolution's candle. The default OHLC values used here are the lows for upper wicks and highs for lower wicks. These OHLC values are then compared to the chart resolution candle's close to determine if the volume of that lower timeframe candle should be shifted to the wick weight or stay in the current weight of that candle. The reason 'low' and 'high' are used here is to guarantee that 100% of the volume of a lower timeframe candle had occurred in the wick of the candle at the current resolution (see LIMITATIONS ).
Bullish candles will exclude volume of all lower timeframe candles whose lows were greater than that candle's close. Bearish candles will exclude volume of all lower timeframe candles whose highs were less than that candle's close. These wick volumes are then divided by the volume of the sample set, and wick sizes are then multiplied by this weight before being added to their specific bullish/bearish sums (lower wicks to bullish and upper wicks to bearish).
█ FEATURES
There are 13 inputs for the user to modify the behavior/visual representation of this script.
Sample Length - This determines how many candles are in the sample set to find the proportion of bullish and bearish candles.
Colors and Invert Colors - There are three colors set by the user: a bullish color, neutral color, and bearish color. The oscillator plots two lines, one at 0 and another that represents the proportion of bullish or bearish candles in the sample set (we'll call this the 'signal line'). If the oscillator is above 0, bullish color is used, bearish otherwise. This script generates a gradient to color a filled area between the 0 line and the signal line based on the historical values of the oscillator itself and the signal line. For bullish values, the closer the signal line is to the max (or restricted max described below) that the oscillator has experienced, the more colored toward bullish color the shaded area will be, using the neutral color as a starting point. The same is applied to the bearish values using the bearish color.
There is an additional input to invert the colors so that the bearish color is associated with bullish values and vise-versa.
Calculation Type - This determines the overarching behavior of the oscillator and has two settings:
Classic - The weight of candles are either 1 if they occurred and 0 if not.
Range - The weight of candles is determined by the size of specific sections as described in CONCEPTS - Candlestick Analysis .
Volume Weighted - This enables modifying the weights of candles as described in CONCEPTS - Volumetric Analysis and Lower Timeframes based on which Calculation Type is used.
Wick Slice Resolution - This is the lower timeframe resolution that will be used to slice the chart resolution's candle when determining the volumetric weight of wicks. Lower timeframe resolutions like '1 minute' will yield more precise results as they will give more data points to go off of (see LIMITATIONS ).
Upper/Lower Wick Source - These two inputs allow the user to select which OHLC values to compare against the chart resolution's candle close when determining which lower timeframe candles will have their volumes associated with the wicks of candles being analyzed at the chart's resolution.
Restrict Min/Max Data and Restriction - This will restrict the maximum and minimum values that will be used for the signal line when comparing its value to previous oscillator values and change how the color gradient is generated for the indicator. Restriction is the number of candles back that will determine these maximum and minimum values.
Display Min/Max Guide - This will plot two lines that are colored the corresponding bullish and bearish colors which follow what the maximum and minimum values are currently for the oscillator.
█ HOW TO USE/INTERPRETATION OF DATA
As mentioned in the OVERVIEW section, this oscillator provides an indirect representation of the percent proportion of bullish or bearish candles in a given sample. If the oscillator reads 80, this does not mean that 80% of all candles in the sample were bullish . To find the percentage of candles that were bullish or bearish, the user needs to perform the following:
50% + ((|oscillator value| / 100) * 50)%
If the oscillator value is negative, the value from above will represent the percentage of bearish candles in the sample. If it is positive, this value represents the percentage of bullish candles in the sample.
Example 1 (oscillator value = 80):
50% + ((|80| / 100) * 50)%
50% + ((0.80) * 50)%
50% + 40% = 90%
90% of the candles in the sample were bullish.
Example 2 (oscillator value = -43):
50% + ((|-43| / 100) * 50)%
50% + ((0.43) * 50)%
50% + 21.5% = 71.5%
71.5% of the candles in the sample were bearish.
An example use of this indicator would be to put in a 'buy' order when its value shows a significant proportion of the sampled candles were bearish, and put in a 'sell' order when a significant proportion of candles were bullish. Potential divergences of this oscillator may also be used to plan trades accordingly such as bearish divergence - price continues higher as the oscillator decreases in value and vise-versa.*

Please proceed with caution when using this script to assist with trading decisions.
█ LIMITATIONS
Range Volumetric Weights :
Because of the conditions that must be met in order for volume to be considered part of wicks, it is possible that the default settings and their intended reasoning will not produce reliable results. If all lower timeframe candles have highs or lows that are within the body of the candle at the chart's resolution, the volume for the wicks will effectively be 0, which is not an accurate representation of those wicks. This is one of the reasons why I included the ability to change the source values used for these conditions as certain OHLC values may produce more reliable/intended results under these conditions.
Wick Slice Resolution :
PineScript restricts the number of intrabar references to 100,000 total. This script uses 3 separate request.security_lower_tf calls and has a default resolution of 1 minute. This means that if the user were to set the oscillator to the Range setting, enable volume weighted, and had the Wick Slice Resolution set to 1 minute, this script will exceed this 100,000 reference restriction within 24 days of data and will not produce any results beyond the previous 23.14 days.

Outside Bar FinderOutside bars occur when the range of a candlestick falls entirely outside of the previous candlestick's range. This indicates indecision and volatility expansion which often leads to changes in trend direction.
This indicator includes options such as:
- The number of consecutive outside bars required to trigger the indicator
- An arrow indicating whether the outside bar is bullish or bearish
- Signal lines to indicate the high and low of the outside bar
Try out this indicator with different options on different timeframes to see if outside bars increase the probability of identifying changes in trend. Breaks or closes outside the signal lines can be used to trigger trade signals.
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.
Abnormal Pin BarPin Bar is one of the most important candlestick patterns. Almost every time you see a pin bar, you can expect the price to turn in the opposite direction.
You should pay more attention to the abnormal ones among the pin bars. What I mean by abnormal pin bar is that the long leg is at least 3 times larger than the body.
With this indicator, you can set your own abnormal pin bar settings. The indicator will highlight abnormal pin bars according to the settings you specified.
The indicator uses the following three factors to indicate abnormal pin bar:
- Minimum body ratio in the pattern in percent
- Minimum ratio of the long shadow to the body
- Minimum ratio of the long shadow to the short shadow
Also, there is a volume strength check to confirm the pin bar. If the volume where the pin bar is formed is greater than the 20 volume average, it indicates that the pin bar is more important. Of course, confirming the pin bar with the volume is optional and you can disable it in settings if you wish.
You can use the highlights of this indicator as an entry signal if the pin bar appears at the trend key levels or in support or resistance zones.
Hammers & Stars StrategyOverview
This script trades basic hammer and shooting star candlestick patterns.
It's an extremely simple strategy with minimal filters, and according to my personal manual backtesting and automated trading results, performs best on the Daily chart on certain forex pairs.
It is intended to be traded on the forex markets but theoretically should work on all markets (especially if you optimize the settings).
The script also comes with complete AutoView automation for Oanda.
Make sure you've connected AutoView to TradingView and Oanda, then simply set an alert using the "alert() function calls only" condition and it will automatically execute trades based on whatever settings you've selected (only recommended for experienced traders - use at your own risk!)
If you're not sure how to set up AutoView, search "The Art of Trading AutoView Guide" on YouTube to find my detailed video guide.

NSDT Special High-Low CandlesThis is an interesting take on candlesticks. These special High-Low Candles do not show the Open and Close levels, so there are no wicks. However, you still see the the High and Low of the entire candle, giving you the full range.
Since this is an indicator, be sure to hide the chart candles to avoid overlap. Or choose offsetting colors to see the traditional candles under the indicator candles.
PivotBoss TriggersI have collected the four PivotBoss indicators into one big indicator. Eventually I will delete the individual ones, since you can just turn off the ones you don't need in the style controller. Cheers.
Wick Reversal
When the market has been trending lower then suddenly forms a reversal wick candlestick , the likelihood of
a reversal increases since buyers have finally begun to overwhelm the sellers. Selling pressure rules the decline,
but responsive buyers entered the market due to perceived undervaluation. For the reversal wick to open near the
high of the candle, sell off sharply intra-bar, and then rally back toward the open of the candle is bullish , as it
signifies that the bears no longer have control since they were not able to extend the decline of the candle, or the
trend. Instead, the bulls were able to rally price from the lows of the candle and close the bar near the top of its
range, which is bullish - at least for one bar, which hadn't been the case during the bearish trend.
Essentially, when a reversal wick forms at the extreme of a trend, the market is telling you that the trend
either has stalled or is on the verge of a reversal. Remember, the market auctions higher in search of sellers, and
lower in search of buyers. When the market over-extends itself in search of market participants, it will find itself
out of value, which means responsive market participants will look to enter the market to push price back toward
an area of perceived value. This will help price find a value area for two-sided trade to take place. When the
market finds itself too far out of value, responsive market participants will sometimes enter the market with
force, which aggressively pushes price in the opposite direction, essentially forming reversal wick candlesticks .
This pattern is perhaps the most telling and common reversal setup, but requires steadfast confirmation in order
to capitalize on its power. Understanding the psychology behind these formations and learning to identify them
quickly will allow you to enter positions well ahead of the crowd, especially if you've spotted these patterns at
potentially overvalued or undervalued areas.
Fade (Extreme) Reversal
The extreme reversal setup is a clever pattern that capitalizes on the ongoing psychological patterns of
investors, traders, and institutions. Basically, the setup looks for an extreme pattern of selling pressure and then
looks to fade this behavior to capture a bullish move higher (reverse for shorts). In essence, this setup is visually
pointing out oversold and overbought scenarios that forces responsive buyers and sellers to come out of the dark
and put their money to work-price has been over-extended and must be pushed back toward a fair area of value
so two-sided trade can take place.
This setup works because many normal investors, or casual traders, head for the exits once their trade
begins to move sharply against them. When this happens, price becomes extremely overbought or oversold,
creating value for responsive buyers and sellers. Therefore, savvy professionals will see that price is above or
below value and will seize the opportunity. When the scared money is selling, the smart money begins to buy, and
Vice versa.
Look at it this way, when the market sells off sharply in one giant candlestick , traders that were short
during the drop begin to cover their profitable positions by buying. Likewise, the traders that were on the
sidelines during the sell-off now see value in lower prices and begin to buy, thus doubling up on the buying
pressure. This helps to spark a sharp v-bottom reversal that pushes price in the opposite direction back toward
fair value.
Engulfing (Outside) Reversal
The power behind this pattern lies in the psychology behind the traders involved in this setup. If you have
ever participated in a breakout at support or resistance only to have the market reverse sharply against you, then
you are familiar with the market dynamics of this setup. What exactly is going on at these levels? To understand
this concept is to understand the outside reversal pattern. Basically, market participants are testing the waters
above resistance or below support to make sure there is no new business to be done at these levels. When no
initiative buyers or sellers participate in range extension, responsive participants have all the information they
need to reverse price back toward a new area of perceived value.
As you look at a bullish outside reversal pattern, you will notice that the current bar's low is lower than the
prior bar's low. Essentially, the market is testing the waters below recently established lows to see if a downside
follow-through will occur. When no additional selling pressure enters the market, the result is a flood of buying
pressure that causes a springboard effect, thereby shooting price above the prior bar's highs and creating the
beginning of a bullish advance.
If you recall the child on the trampoline for a moment, you'll realize that the child had to force the bounce
mat down before he could spring into the air. Also, remember Jennifer the cake baker? She initially pushed price
to $20 per cake, which sent a flood of orders into her shop. The flood of buying pressure eventually sent the price
of her cakes to $35 apiece. Basically, price had to test the $20 level before it could rise to $35.
Let's analyze the outside reversal setup in a different light for a moment. One of the reasons I like this setup
is because the two-bar pattern reduces into the wick reversal setup, which we covered earlier in the chapter. If
you are not familiar with candlestick reduction, the idea is simple. You are taking the price data over two or more
candlesticks and combining them to create a single candlestick . Therefore, you will be taking the open, high, low,
and close prices of the bars in question to create a single composite candlestick .
Doji Reversal
The doji candlestick is the epitome of indecision. The pattern illustrates a virtual stalemate between buyers
and sellers, which means the existing trend may be on the verge of a reversal. If buyers have been controlling a
bullish advance over a period of time, you will typically see full-bodied candlesticks that personify the bullish
nature of the move. However, if a doji candlestick suddenly appears, the indication is that buyers are suddenly
not as confident in upside price potential as they once were. This is clearly a point of indecision, as buyers are no
longer pushing price to higher valuation, and have allowed sellers to battle them to a draw-at least for this one
candlestick . This leads to profit taking, as buyers begin to sell their profitable long positions, which is heightened
by responsive sellers entering the market due to perceived overvaluation. This "double whammy" of selling
pressure essentially pushes price lower, as responsive sellers take control of the market and push price back
toward fair value.

Doji Double Top & Double Bottom
FUNCTION :
This indicator checks if 2 consecutive candlesticks are formed in such a way that both the lows or both the highs of the consecutive candlesticks are almost at the same level and either of them is a doji
TIMEFRAMES :
it works on daily, weekly, monthly and higher timeframes
CRITERIA :
There is maximum difference value between 2 consecutive candlesticks' lows or 2 consecutive candlesticks' highs
Minimum value of the doji's wick size
Maximum value of the doji's body size
These 3 conditions need to be fulfilled for the 2 consecutive candlesticks to be considered as a Double top or Double bottom by this indicator
EXAMPLES :
Here the indicator is giving only double Bottom signals on CRUDE OIL chart
Here the indicator is giving only double top signals on GOLD chart
Here the indicator gives both double top & double bottom signals on EUR/USD Daily chart
Here the indicator is giving both double top & double bottom signals on EUR/USD Half-Yearly chart
DEFINITIONS :
There are 2 types -
DOJI DOUBLE BOTTOM - if the lows of 2 consecutive candlesticks are almost at the same level & either of them is doji then it is called Double Bottom and market is supposed to go higher after forming it.
DOJI DOUBLE TOP - if the highs of 2 consecutive candlesticks are almost at the same level & either of them is doji then it is called Double Top and market is supposed to go lower after forming it.
SETTINGS :
There are options to change the value of each of the 3 parameters within the indicator's settings for daily, weekly & monthly chart [
LIMITATIONS :
You should not trade based on the signals from this indicator solely, you should check other parameters too before making trading decision
Engulfing Sweeps - Milana TradesEngulfing Sweeps
The Engulfing Sweeps Candle is a candlestick pattern that:
1)Takes liquidity from the previous candle’s high or low.
2)Fully engulfs previous candles upon closing.
3)Indicates strong buying or selling pressure.
4)Helps determine the bias of the next candle.
Logic Behind Engulfing Sweeps
If you analyze this candle on a lower timeframe, you’ll often see popular models like PO3 (Power of Three) or AMD (Accumulation – Manipulation – Distribution).
Once the candle closes, the goal is to enter a position on the retracement of the distribution phase.
How to Use Engulfing Sweeps?
Recommended Timeframes:
4H, Daily, Weekly – these levels hold significant liquidity.
Personally, I prefer 4H, as it provides a solid view of mid-term market moves.
Step1 - Identify Engulfing Sweep Candle
Step 2-Switch to a lower timeframe (15m or 5m).And you task identify optimal trade entry
Look for an entry pattern based on:
FVG (Fair Value Gap)
OB (Order Block)
FIB levels (0/0.25/0.5/ 0.75/ 1)
Wait for confirmation and take the trade.
Automating with TradingView Alerts
To avoid missing the pattern, you can set up alerts using a custom script. Once the pattern forms, TradingView will notify you so you can analyze the chart and take action. This approch helps me be more freedom

Higher Highs and Lower Lows: The low of two bars ago is lower than the previous bar, and the previous bar's low is lower than the current bar. At the same time, the high of two bars ago is higher than the previous bar, and the previous bar’s high is higher than the current bar.
This unique setup forms the "Shark-32" pattern, which signals potential volume squeezes and trend changes in the market.
How Does the Strategy Work?
The E9 Shark-32 Pattern Strategy builds upon this pattern by defining clear entry and exit rules based on the pattern's confirmation. Here's a breakdown of how the strategy operates:
1. Identifying the Shark-32 Pattern
When the Shark-32 pattern is confirmed, the strategy "locks" the high and low prices from the initial bar of the pattern. These locked prices serve as key levels for future trade entries and exits.
2. Entry Conditions
The strategy waits for the price to cross the pattern's locked high or low, signaling potential market direction.
Long Entry: A long trade is triggered when the closing price crosses above the locked pattern high (green line).
Short Entry: A short trade is triggered when the closing price crosses below the locked pattern low (red line).
The strategy ensures that only one trade is taken for each Shark-32 pattern, preventing overtrading and allowing traders to focus on high-probability setups.
3. Stop Loss and Take Profit Levels
The strategy has built-in risk management through stop-loss and take-profit levels, which are visually represented by the lines on the chart:
Stop Loss:
Stop loss can be adjusted in settings.
Take Profit:
For long trades: The take-profit target is set at the upper white dotted line, which is projected above the pattern high.
For short trades: The take-profit target is set at the lower white dotted line, which is projected below the pattern low.
These clearly defined levels help traders to manage risk effectively while maximizing potential returns.
4. Visual Cues
To make trading decisions even easier, the strategy provides helpful visual cues:
Green Line (Pattern High): This line represents the high of the Shark-32 pattern and serves as a resistance level and short entry signal.
Red Line (Pattern Low): This line represents the low of the Shark-32 pattern and serves as a support level and long entry signal.
White Dotted Lines: These lines represent potential profit targets, projected both above and below the pattern. They help traders define where the market might go next.
Additionally, the strategy highlights the pattern formation with color-coded bars and background shading to draw attention to the Shark-32 pattern when it is confirmed. This adds a layer of visual confirmation, making it easier to spot opportunities in real-time.
5. No Repeated Trades
An important aspect of the strategy is that once a trade is taken (either long or short), no additional trades are executed until a new Shark-32 pattern is identified. This ensures that only valid and confirmed setups are acted upon.
Candle Patterns with Volume ValidationHey Guys !
█ This indicator shows validated Hammer and Shooting Star candle patterns based on volume.
This indicator identifies Hammer and Shooting Star patterns and validates them using volume analysis.
Hammer and Shooting Star patterns are candlestick patterns that signal potential reversals in the market.
█ Usages:
A hammer is formed when in a session, the price has fallen, only to reverse and recover to close back near the opening price. This is a sign of strength with the selling having been absorbed in sufficient strength for the buyers to overwhelm the sellers, allowing the market to recover. The hammer is so called as it is ‘hammering out a bottom’, and just like the shooting star, is immensely powerful when combined with Volume Price Analysis (VPA).
The shooting star is a bearish reversal pattern that appears at the top of uptrends. It signifies that prices have peaked and a downward reversal is likely. The presence of high volume strengthens this signal, indicating that the insiders are offloading their positions.
When combined with volume analysis, these patterns become powerful signals. The volume provides context to the price action, helping traders confirm the validity of the pattern. For example, a hammer with high volume suggests strong buying interest, whereas a shooting star with high volume indicates strong selling pressure.
█ Features:
• Detects Hammer and Shooting Star patterns.
• Validates patterns with volume thresholds.
• Color codes patterns based on volume validation.
• Allows customization of volume thresholds and pattern criteria.
• Option to show or hide signals.
█ Parameters:

Overview
A vast majority of modern data analysis & modelling techniques rely upon the idea of hidden patterns, wether it is some type of visualisation tool or some form of a complex machine learning algorithm, the one thing that they have in common is the belief, that patterns tell us what’s hidden behind plain numbers. The same philosophy has been adopted by many traders & investors worldwide, there’s an entire school of thought that operates purely based on chart patterns. This is where Sniffer comes in, it is a tool designed to simplify & quantify the job of pattern recognition on any given price chart, by combining various factors & techniques that generate high-quality results.
This tool analyses bars selected by the user, and highlights bar clusters on the chart that exhibit similar behaviour across multiple dimensions. It can detect a single candle pattern like hammers or dojis, or it can handle multiple candles like morning/evening stars or double tops/bottoms, and many more. In fact, the tool is completely independent of such specific candle formations, instead, it works on the idea of vector similarity and generates a degree of similarity for every single combination of candles. Only the top-n matches are highlighted, users get to choose which patterns they want to analyse and to what degree, by customising the feature-space.
Background
In the world of trading, a common use-case is to scan a price chart for some specific candlestick formations & price structures, and then the chart is further analysed in reference to these events. Traders are often trying to answer questions like, when was the last time price showed similar behaviour, what are the instances similar to what price is doing right now, what happens when price forms a pattern like this, what were some of other indicators doing when this happened last(RSI, CCI, ADX etc), and many other abstract ideas to have a stronger confluence or to confirm a bias.Having such a context can be vital in making better informed decisions, but doing this manually on a chart that has thousands of candles can have many disadvantages. It’s tedious, human errors are rather likely, and even if it’s done with pin-point accuracy, chances are that we’ll miss out on many pieces of information. This is the thought that gave birth to Sniffer .
Sniffer tries to provide a general solution for pattern-based analysis by deploying vector-similarity computation techniques, that cover the full-breadth of a price chart and generate a list of top-n matches based on the criteria selected by the user. Most of these techniques come from the data science space, where vector similarity is often implemented to solve classification & clustering problems. Sniffer uses same principles of vector comparison, and computes a degree of similarity for every single candle formation within the selected range, and as a result generates a similarity matrix that captures how similar or dissimilar a set of candles is to the input set selected by the user.
How It Works
A brief overview of how the tool is implemented:
- Every bar is processed, and a set of features are mapped to it.
- Bars selected by the user are captured, and saved for later use.
- Once the all the bars have been processed, candles are back-tracked and degree of similarity is computed for every single bar(max-limit is 5000 bars).
- Degree of similarity is computed by comparing attributes like price range, candle breadth & volume etc.
- Similarity matrix is sorted and top-n results are highlighted on the chart through boxes of different colors.
A brief overview of the features space for bars:
- Range: Difference between high & low
- Body: Difference between close & open
- Volume: Traded volume for that candle
- Head: Upper wick for green candles & lower wick for red candles
- Tail: Lower wick for green candles & upper wick for red candles
- BTR: Body to Range ratio
- HTR: Head to Range ratio
- TTR: Tail to Range ratio
- HTB: Head to Body ratio
- TTB: Tail to Body ratio
- ROC: Rate of change for HL2 for four different periods
- RSI: Relative Strength Index
- CCI: Commodity Channel Index
- Stochastic: Stochastic Index
- ADX: DMI+, DMI- & ADX
A brief overview of how degree of similarity is calculated:
- Each bar set is compared to the inout bar set within the selected feature space
- Features are represented as vectors, and distance between the vectors is calculated
- Shorter the distance, greater the similarity
- Different distance calculation methods are available to choose from, such as Cosine, Euclidean, Lorentzian, Manhattan, & Pearson
- Each method is likely to generate slightly different results, users are expected to select the method & the feature space that best fits their use-case
How To Use It
- Usage of this tool is relatively straightforward, users can add this indicator to their chart and similar clusters will be highlighted automatically
- Users need to select a time range that will be treated as input, and bars within that range become the input formation for similarity calculations
- Boxes will be draw around the clusters that fit the matching criteria
- Boxes are color-coded, green color boxes represent the top one-third of the top-n matches, yellow boxes represent the middle third, red boxes are for bottom third, and white box represents user-input
- Boxes colors will be adjusted as you adjust input parameters, such as number of matches or look-back period
User Settings
Users can configure the following options:
- Select the time-range to set input bars
- Select the look-back period, number of candles to backtrack for similarity search
- Select the number of top-n matches to show on the chart
- Select the method for similarity calculation
- Adjust the feature space, this enables addition of custom features, such as pattern recognition, technical indicators, rate of change etc
- Toggle verbosity, shows degree of similarity as a percentage value inside the box
Top Features
- Pattern Agnostic: Designed to work with variable number of candles & complex patterns
- Customisable Feature Space: Users get to add custom features to each bar
- Comprehensive Comparison: Generates a degree of similarity for all possible combinations
Final Note
- Similarity matches will be shown only within last 4500 bars.
- In theory, it is possible to compute similarity for any size candle formations, indicator has been tested with formations of 50+ candles, but it is recommended to select smaller range for faster & cleaner results.
- As you move to smaller time frames, selected time range will provide a larger number of candles as input, which can produce undesired results, it is advised to adjust your selection when you change time frames. Seeking suggestions on how to directly receive bars as user input, instead of time range.
- At times, users may see array index out of bound error when setting up this indicator, this generally happens when the input range is not properly configured. So, it should disappear after you select the input range, still trying to figure out where it is coming from, suggestions are welcome.

Vector Candles [v6 Optimized + EMA]
Vector Candles represent an innovative technical analysis approach that transforms traditional candlestick charting by integrating volume dynamics, color-coded momentum, and multi-dimensional market insights. Unlike standard candlesticks that merely display price movement, Vector Candles encode additional market information through sophisticated color and volume algorithms.
Key Features:
-Dynamic Volume-Based Coloring: Candles change color based on trading volume intensity
-Volume Categories:
High Volume (Lime/Red): Significant market activity (200%+- Vol of Previous 10 Candles)
Above Average Volume (Blue/Fuchsia): Moderate market momentum (150%+- Vol of Previous 10 Candles).
Normal Volume (Gray Scales): Standard market conditions.
Stopping Volume Candles - Typically Pinbar/Doji candles. Stops volume in the current direction of delivery & can help forecast impending reversals or end to the current trend.
-Integrated EMA (Exponential Moving Average) Option:
-Customizable EMA Length (Default: 50 periods) (I use 33)
Configurable EMA Source (e.g., close price)
Optional EMA Overlay for Trend Confirmation
Change Candle Color When 5 EMA Not ConnectedThis custom TradingView indicator changes the color of candlesticks to yellow whenever the 5-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is not "connected" to the current candle.
How It Works:
The 5 EMA is calculated based on the closing prices of the last 5 candles.
A candle is considered "not connected" to the EMA if:
The high and low of the current candle are both either above or below the 5 EMA, implying a significant deviation from the EMA.
When this condition is met, the candle color is changed to yellow to highlight this disconnection.
The default behavior of the script is to not display the 5 EMA line, keeping the chart uncluttered while focusing on the candlestick colors.
Usage:
This indicator is useful for scalping or short-term trading strategies, as it helps identify when the price has moved significantly away from the 5 EMA. A yellow candle could signal potential overextension or a possible reversal if the price is far from the EMA. Traders can use this as part of their risk management or entry/exit decision-making process.
Customization:
The indicator doesn't display the 5 EMA line, but you can modify the script to show it if needed by uncommenting the plot(ema5) line.
You can adjust the period of the EMA by modifying the ema5 period in the code, though the default setting is 5 periods.
