Hikkake Hunter 2.0This script serves as a successor to a previous script I wrote for identifying Hikkakes nearly two years ago.
The old version has been preserved here:
█ OVERVIEW
This script is a rework of an old script that identified the Hikkake candlestick pattern. While this pattern is not usually considered a part of the standard candlestick patterns set, I found a lot of value when finding a solution to identifying it. A Hikkake pattern is a 3-candle pattern where a middle candle is nested in between the range of the prior candle, and a candle that follows has a higher high and a higher low (bearish setup) or a lower high and a lower low (bullish setup). What makes this pattern unique is the "confirmation" status of the pattern; within 3 candles of this pattern's appearance, there must be a candle that closes above the high (bullish setup) or below the low (bearish setup) of the second candle. Additional flexibility has been added which allows the user to specify the number of candles (up to 5) that the pattern may have to confirm after its appearance.
█ CONCEPTS
This script will cover concepts mainly focusing on candlestick analysis, price analysis (with higher timeframes), and statistical analysis. I believe there is also educational value presented with the use of user-defined-types (UDTs) in accomplishing these concepts that I hope others will find useful.
Candlestick Analysis - Identification and confirmation of the patterns in the deprecated script were clunky and inefficient. While the previous script required the use of 6 candles to perform the confirmations of patterns (restricted solely to identifying patterns that confirmed in 3 candles or less), this script only requires 3 candles to identify and process patterns by utilizing a UDT representing a 'pattern object'. An object representing a pattern will be created when it has been identified, and fields within that object will be set for processing by the functions it is passed to. Pattern objects are held by a var array (values within the array persist between bars) and will be removed from this array once they have been confirmed or non-confirmed.
This is a significant deviation from the previous script's methods, as it prevents unnecessary re-evaluations of the confirmation status of patterns (i.e. Hikkakes confirmed on the first candle will no longer need to be checked for confirmations on the second or third; a pitfall of the deprecated version which required multiple booleans tracking prior confirmation statuses). This deviation is also what provides the flexibility in changing the number of candles that can pass before a pattern is deemed non-confirmed.
As multiple patterns can be confirmed simultaneously, this script uses another UDT representing a linked-list reduction of the pattern object used to process it. This liked-list object will then be used for Price Analysis.
Price Analysis - This script employs the use of a UDT which contains all the returns of confirmed patterns. The user specifies how many candles ahead of the confirmed pattern to calculate its return, as well as where this calculation begins. There are two settings: FROM APPEARANCE and FROM CONFIRMATION (default). Price differences are calculated from the open of the candle immediately following the candle which had confirmed the pattern to the close of the candle X candles ahead (default 10). ( SEE FEATURES )
Because of how Pine functions, this calculation necessitates a lookback on prior candles to identify when a pattern had been confirmed. This is accomplished with the following pseudo-code:
if not na(confirmed linked-list )
for all confirmed in list
GET MATRIX PLACEMENT
offset = FROM CONFIRMATION ? 0 : # of candles to confirm
openAtFind = open
percent return = ((close - openAtFind) / openAtFind) * 100
ADD percent return TO UDT IN MATRIX
All return UDTs are held in a matrix which breaks up these patterns into specific groups covered in the next section.
Higher Timeframes - This script makes a request.security call to a higher timeframe in order to identify a price range which breaks up these patterns into groups based on the 'partition' they had appeared in. The default values for this partitioning will break up the chart into three sections: upper, middle, and lower. The upper section represents the highest 20% of the yearly trading range that an asset has experienced. The lower section represents the trading range within a third (33%) of the yearly low. And the middle section represents the yearly high-low range between these two partitions.
The matrix containing all return UDTs will have these returns split up based on the number of candles required to confirm the pattern as well as the partition the pattern had appeared in. The underlying rationale is that patterns may perform better or worse at different parts of an asset's trading range.
Statistical Analysis - Once a pattern has been confirmed, the matrix containing all return UDTs will be queried to check if a 'returnArray' object has been created for that specific pattern. If not, one will be initialized and a confirmed linked-list object will be created that contains information pertinent to the matrix position of this object.
This matrix contains the returns of both the Bullish and Bearish Hikkake patterns, separated by the number of candles needed to confirm them, and by the partitions they had appeared in. For the standard 3 candles to confirm, this means the matrix will contain 18 elements (dependent on the number of candles allowed for confirmations; its size will range from 12 to 30).
When the required number of candles for Price Analysis passes, a percent return is calculated and added to the returnArray contained in the matrix at the location derived from the confirmed linked-list object's values. The return is added, and all values in the returnArray are updated using Pine's built in array.___ functions. This returnArray object contains the array of all returns, its size, its average, the median, the standard deviation of returns, and a separate 3-integer array which holds values that correspond to the types of returns experienced by this pattern (negative, neutral, and positive)*.
After a pattern has been confirmed, this script will place the partition and all of the aforementioned stats values (plus a 95% confidence interval of expected returns) related to that pattern onto the tooltip of the label that identifies it. This allows users to scroll over the label of a confirmed pattern to gauge its prior performance under specific conditions. The percent return of the specific pattern identified will later be placed onto the label tooltip as well. ( SEE LIMITATIONS )
The stats portion of this script also plays a significant role in how patterns are presented when using the Adaptive Coloring mode described in FEATURES .
*These values are incremented based on user-input related to what constitutes a 'negative' or 'positive' return. Default values would place any return by a pattern between -3% and 3% in the 'neutral' category, and values exceeding either end will be placed in the 'negative' or 'positive' categories.
█ FEATURES
This script contains numerous inputs for modifying its behavior and how patterns are presented/processed, separated into 5 groups.
Confirmation Setting - The most important input for this script's functioning. This input is a 'confirm=true' input and must be set by the user before the script is applied to the chart. It sets the number of candles that a pattern has to confirm once it has been identified.
Alert Settings - This group of booleans sets which types of alerts will fire during the scripts execution on the chart. If enabled, the four alerts will trigger when: a pattern has been identified, a pattern has been confirmed, a pattern has been non-confirmed, and show the return for that confirmed pattern in an alert. Because this script uses the 'alert' function and not 'alertcondition', these must be enabled before 'any alert() function call' is set in TradingView's 'alerts' settings.
Partition Settings - This group of inputs are responsible for creating (and viewing) the partitions that breaks the returns of the patterns identified up into their respective groups. The user may set the resolution to grab the range from, the length back of this resolution the partitions get their values from, the thresholds which breaks the partitions up into their groups, and modify the visibility (if they're shown, the colors, opacity) of these partitions.
Stats Settings - These inputs will drastically alter how patterns are presented and the resulting information derived from them after their appearance. Because of this section's importance, some of these inputs will be described in more detail.
P/L Sample Length - Defines the number of candles after the starting point to grab values from in the % return calculation for that pattern.
P/L Starting Point - Defines the starting point where the P/L calculation will take place. 'FROM APPEARANCE' will set the starting point at the candle immediately following the pattern's appearance. 'FROM CONFIRMATION' will place the starting point immediately following the candle which had confirmed the pattern. ( SEE LIMITATIONS )
Min Returns Needed - Sets how many times a specific pattern must appear (both by number of candles needed to confirm and by partition) before the statistics for that pattern are displayed onto the tooltip (and for gradient coloration in Adaptive Coloring mode).
Enable Adaptive Coloring - Changes the coloration of the patterns based on the bullish/bearishness of the specified Gradient Reference value of that pattern compared to the Return Tolerance values OR the minimum and maximum values of that specified Gradient Reference value contained in the matrix of all returns. This creates a color from a gradient using the user-specified colors and alters how many of the patterns may appear if prior performance is taken into account.
Gradient Reference - Defines which stats measure of returns will be used in the gradient color generation. The two settings are 'AVG' and 'MEDIAN'.
Hard Limit - This boolean sets whether the Return Tolerance values will not be replaced by values that exceed them from the matrix of returns in color gradient generation. This changes the scale of the gradient where any Gradient Reference values of patterns that exceed these tolerances will be colored the full bullish or bearish gradient colors, and anything in between them will be given a color from the gradient.
Visibility Settings - This last section includes all settings associated with the overall visibility of patterns found with this script. This includes the position of the labels and their colors (+ pattern colors without Adaptive Coloring being enabled), and showing patterns that were non-confirmed.
Most of these inputs in the script have these kinds of descriptions to what they do provided by their tooltips.
█ HOW TO USE
I attempted to make this script much easier to use in terms of analyzing the patterns and displaying the information to the user. The previous script would have the user go to the 'data window' side bar on TradingView to view the returns of a pattern after they had specified which pattern to analyze through the settings, needlessly convoluted. This aim at simplicity was achieved through the use of UDTs and specific code-design.
To use, simply apply the indicator to a chart, set the number of candles (between 2 and 5) for confirming this specific pattern and adjust the many settings described above at your leisure.
█ LIMITATIONS
Disclaimer - This is a tool created with the hopes of helping identify a specific pattern and provide an informative view about the performance of that pattern. Previous performance is not indicative of future results. None of this constitutes any form of financial advice, *use at your own risk*.
Statistical Analysis - This script assumes that all patterns will yield a NORMAL DISTRIBUTION regarding their returns which may not be reflective of reality. I personally have limited experience within the field of statistics apart from a few high school/college courses and make no guarantees that the calculation of the 95% confidence interval is correct. Please review the source code to verify for yourself that this interval calculation is correct (Function Name: f_DisplayStatsOnLabel).
P/L Starting Point - Because of when the object related to the confirmation status of a pattern is created (specifically the linked-list object) setting the 'P/L Starting Point' to 'FROM APPEARANCE' will yield the results of that P/L calculation at the same time as 'FROM CONFIRMATION'.

Same high/lowIf you are using support/resistance level-based strategies in your trading then this indicator can help you. I think that the retest level strategy is the best for beginners due to its simplicity of risk/reward calculations and higher abundance on the market. There is a well-known method to recognize a big player (buyer/seller) by candlestick pattern where the last two candles have the same low or same high. Moreover, abnormal candles increase the probability of a retest of a strong level, so my indicator highlights these two situations. In my opinion, a higher timeframe of a candle chart increases the win rate for this indicator (>1h).
So there are several patterns which my indicator can recognize:
1. Same low/high: blue flag up - same low, blue flag down - same high.
2. Mirror levels: high-low - green flag up, low-high - green flag down.
3. abnormal candles: yellow body if >2*ATR (please tune atr in properties, the default value is 5).
4. The red flag indicates the third candle with the same high/low in a row.
Thanks for your attention and have a good trading time!
Bull and Bear Marubozus Candlestick PatternMarubozus are an interesting candle pattern wherein the close and open of the candle are also the high / low points of the candle. In other words, a candle with no shadows or wicks.
How reliable are they, though? Probably not very reliable on their own. It may also depend on the size of the candle. You would probably want to incorporate this candle pattern with other filters, like RSI, MACD, to filter trade opportunities.
HTF Candles by Prosum SolutionsOverview of Features
This indicator was inspired by the work of "informanerd" in the script called "HTF Candles" as well as the built-in script called "Multi-Time Period Charts" by TradingView. The script will provide a highly customizable interface to specify the higher timeframe resolution for the candlesticks, the type of candle, as well as various styling options for the body, borders and wicks.
Usage Information
The indicator can be applied to any chart at any time frame, but resolutions less than 1 minute may demonstrate gaps between bars and the candles may not render properly.
When the "Same as chart" option is chosen for the "Resolution" field, the indicator will attempt to find a higher timeframe resolution to ensure the candlesticks are drawn.
Enjoy! 👍
Trend ResumptionWe again keep it really simple.
This indicator just plots the combination of RGRR and GRGG candlesticks. (R = Red / Bearish, G = Green / Bullish)
When either pattern occurs, trade the combined high and combined low of recent 2 RR or recent 2 GG candles. I.e.,
Buy above GG's high with SL at GG's low.
Sell below RR's low with SL at RR's high.
Refer the shared chart for example. The signals were plotted on both the sides, and wherever triggered - gave rewards.
Only 1 at 05-Apr, 10:50 a.m. did not trigger, but that must then be ignored. Do not hurry to enter the trade, wait for breakout / breakdown above combined high / low.
[SCL] Better Heikin AshiTo display the Heikin Ashi candle direction on your normal chart, using this script is better than switching between layouts. It includes different display modes so that you can use it alongside other indicators without clashing visually (bar colour/plotted shapes/shapes on flip only), and alerts on changes in direction. Many scripts include some or other of these features; here I've included them all in one for flexibility. One feature that AFAIK is unique is the "predictive close", which shows you where the current candle needs to close in order to change the Heikin Ashi direction.
Heikin Ashi is a different method of calculating candlesticks. It has several advantages:
+ It can help to show the dominant trend in a smoother way than normal candles.
+ Flips in direction can show either trend reversal, or a pause and continuation, which can be a place to join a trend.
Disadvantages of using Heikin Ashi include:
+ Having to change to a different chart layout
+ Difficulties working directly with Heikin Ashi values, because the values of the Open, Low, High, and Close displayed are different to the "real" prices.
This indicator solves this problem by bringing trend information from Heikin Ashi candles (whether they're bullish or bearish) onto your normal candle chart. It displays in the main chart pane.
Reversal closing priceThe reversal closing price (RCP) is a candlestick pattern which follows two simples rules:
the low price of current candle needs to be lower than the low price of the last 2 candles
the closing price of current candle needes to be higher than the closing price of the last candle
This generates a signal for a long position. For a short position, the conditions are inverted:
the high price of current candle needs to be higher than the high price of the last 2 candles
the closing price of current candle needes to be lower than the closing price of the last candle
Since RCP is a trend follower indicator, the strategy is programmed in such a way that long positions are only placed if the short period EMA is above the long period EMA, and short positions are only placed if the short EMA is bellow the long EMA. Both periods are configurable, and should be ajusted for each asset.
This strategy uses a fixed stop loss and take profit, and the it's ratio is configurable. The stop price is one tick lower than the lowest price of X candles prior to the order execution for long positions, while in short positions it's one tick higher than the higher price. The amount of candles to lookback (X) is configurable. Both stop and take profit prices are displayed, the first as a red line, and the second as a green line.
This is the setting that I've found to work best with TVC:SPX , but you may find a better setting. While the RCP is universal, it's placement depends on the trend and it's strenght, something that is very heterogeneous among assets.
I really wish that I was able to place images, but I don't have PRO, so text will have to do.
This strategy was designed by Alexandre Wolwacz, a.k.a. Stormer.
3-Candle HH/HL or LH/LL (Number Labels Over Candles)What This Script Does:
This Pine Script detects 3 consecutive candlesticks that show:
Higher Highs and Higher Lows → a bullish structure
Lower Highs and Lower Lows → a bearish structure
When such a pattern is found, the script:
Marks each of the 3 candles with a number: 1, 2, and 3
Labels appear centered on each candle (at the close price)
You can adjust:
Label size (tiny → huge)
Background color (bullish/bearish)
Text color
Example:
If candles form:
Candle A: higher high & higher low
Candle B: higher than A
Candle C: higher than B
Then you’ll see 1, 2, 3 labels on those candles in green (or your selected color).
Same goes for a bearish pattern in red.
cd_secret_candlestick_patterns_CxHi traders,
With this indicator, we aim to uncover secret candlestick formations that even advanced traders may miss—especially those that can't be detected by classic pattern indicators, unless you're a true master of candlestick patterns or candle math.
________________________________________
General Idea:
We'll try to identify candlestick patterns by regrouping candles into custom-sized segments that you define.
You might ask: “Why do I need this? I can just look at different timeframes and spot the structure anyway.” But it’s not the same.
For example, if you're using a 1-minute chart and add a higher-timeframe candle overlay (like 5-minute), the candles you see start at fixed timestamps like 0, 5, 10, etc.
However, in this indicator, we redraw new candles by grouping them from the current candle backward in batches of five.
These candles won't match the standard view—only when aligned with exact time multiples (e.g., 0 and 5 minutes) will they look the same.
In classic charts:
• You see 5-minute candles that begin every 0 and 5 minutes.
In this tool:
• You see a continuously updating set of 5 merged 1-minute candles redrawn every minute.
What about the structures forming in between those fixed timeframes?
That’s exactly what we’ll be able to detect—while also making the lower timeframe chart more readable.
________________________________________
Candle Merging:
Let’s continue with an example.
Assume we choose to merge 5 candles. Then the new candle will be formed using:
open = open
close = close
high = math.max(high , high , high , high , high)
low = math.min(low , low , low , low , low)
This logic continues backward on the chart, creating merged candles in groups of 5.
Since the selected patterns are made up of 3, 4, or 5 candles, we redraw 5 such merged candles to analyze.
________________________________________
Which Patterns Are Included?
A total of 18 bullish and bearish patterns are included.
You’ll find both widely known formations and a few personal ones I use, marked as (MeReT).
You can find the pattern list and visual reference here:
________________________________________
Entry and Filtering Suggestions:
Let me say this clearly:
Entering a trade every time a pattern forms will not make you profitable in the long run.
You need a clear trade plan and should only act when you can answer questions like:
• Where did the pattern appear?
• When and under what conditions?
It’s more effective to trade in the direction of the trend and look for setups around support/resistance, supply/demand zones, key levels, or areas confirmed by other indicators.
Whether you enter immediately after the pattern or wait for a retest is a personal choice—but risk management is non-negotiable.
One of the optional filters I’ve included is a Higher Timeframe (HTF) condition, which is my personal preference:
When enabled, the highest or lowest price among the pattern candles must match the high or low of the current HTF candle.
You can see in the image below the decrease in the number of detected patterns on the 1-minute chart when using no filter (blue labels) compared to when the 1-hour timeframe filter is applied (red labels).
Additionally, I’ve added a “protected” condition for engulfing patterns to help filter out weak classic engulf patterns.
________________________________________
Settings:
From the menu, you can configure:
• Number of candles for regrouping
• Distance between the last candle and newly drawn candles
• Show/hide options
• HTF filter toggle and timeframe selection
• Color, label placement, and text customization
• Pattern list (select which to display or trigger alerts for)
My preferred setup:
While trading on the 1-minute chart, I typically set the higher timeframe to 15m or 1H, and switch the candle count between 2 and 3 depending on the situation.
⚠️ Important note:
The “Show” and “Alert” options are controlled by a single command.
Alerts are automatically created for any pattern you choose to display.
________________________________________
What’s Next?
In future updates, I plan to add:
• Pattern success rate statistics
• Multi-broker confirmation for pattern validation
Lastly, keep in mind:
The more candles a pattern is based on, the more reliable it may be.
I'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions.
Cheerful trading! 🕊️📈
Devils MarkThe Devil’s Mark Indicator identifies bullish or bearish candlesticks with no opposing wick, plotting a horizontal line at the open/low (bullish) or open/high (bearish) price to mark the inefficiency.
This line highlights the level where price is expected to retrace to form the missing wick, serving as a visual cue.
The line is automatically removed from the chart once price crosses it, confirming the inefficiency has been rebalanced.

HTF Overlay Candles (Aggregated)🕯️ Synthetic Aggregated Candles
Created by: The_Forex_Steward
License: Mozilla Public License 2.0
🔍 Description
This indicator creates visually aggregated candles directly on your chart, allowing you to view synthetic candlesticks that combine multiple bars into one. It enables a higher-level perspective of price action without switching timeframes.
Each synthetic candle is built by combining a user-defined number of consecutive bars (e.g., 4 bars from the current timeframe form one aggregated candle). It accurately tracks open, high, low, and close values, then draws a colored box and wick to represent the aggregated data.
⚙️ Features
Aggregation Factor: Combine candles over a custom number of bars (e.g., 4 = 4x current TF)
Timezone Alignment: Aggregation is aligned with midnight in UTC-5 (modifiable in code)
Custom Colors: Choose colors for bullish and bearish synthetic candles
Body Opacity: Control the opacity of the candle body for visual clarity
Wick Width: Customize the thickness of the candle wick
📌 Use Case
Ideal for traders looking to:
- Reduce noise in lower timeframes
- Visualize price action in broader chunks
- Spot larger structure and swing patterns without switching charts
📈 How It Works
At every bar, the script checks whether a new aggregation interval has begun (aligned to the day start). If so, it finalizes the previous candle and starts a new one. On the last bar of the chart, it ensures the final synthetic candle is drawn.
✅ Tip
For best results, apply this script on intraday timeframes and experiment with different aggregation factors (4, 6, 12, etc.) to discover the most insightful compression for your strategy.
Note: This script is optimized for visual representation only. It does not repaint, but it is not intended for algorithmic strategies or alerts.
EMA Trend with MACD-Based Bar Coloring (Customized)This indicator blends trend-following EMAs with MACD-based momentum signals to provide a visually intuitive view of market conditions.

Filtering entries based on trend strength and MACD overextension
Enhancing discretion-based or rule-based strategies with visual confirmation
AlphaTrend++AlphaTrend++
Overview
The AlphaTrend++ is an advanced Pine Script indicator designed to help traders identify buy and sell opportunities in trending and volatile markets. Building on trend-following principles, it uses a modified Average True Range (ATR) calculation combined with volume or momentum data to plot a dynamic trend line. The indicator overlays on the price chart, displaying a colored trend line, a filled trend zone, buy/sell signals, and optional stop-loss tick labels, making it ideal for day trading or swing trading, particularly in markets like futures (e.g., MES).
What It Does
This indicator generates buy and sell signals based on the direction and momentum of a custom trend line, filtered by optional time restrictions and signal frequency logic. The trend line adapts to price action and volatility, with a filled zone highlighting trend strength. Buy/sell signals are plotted as labels, and stop-loss distances are displayed in ticks (customizable for instruments like MES). The indicator supports standard chart types for realistic signal generation.
How It Works
The indicator employs the following components:
Trend Line Calculation: A dynamic trend line is calculated using ATR adjusted by a user-defined multiplier, combined with either Money Flow Index (MFI) or Relative Strength Index (RSI) depending on volume availability. The line tracks price movements, adjusting upward or downward based on trend direction and volatility.
Trend Zone: The area between the current trend line and its value two bars prior is filled, colored green for bullish trends (upward movement) or red for bearish trends (downward movement), providing a visual cue of trend strength.
Signal Generation: Buy signals occur when the trend line crosses above its value two bars ago, and sell signals occur when it crosses below, with optional filtering to reduce signal noise (based on bar timing logic). Signals can be restricted to a 9:00–15:00 UTC trading window.
Stop-Loss Ticks: For each signal, the indicator calculates the distance to the trend line (acting as a stop-loss level) in ticks, using a user-defined tick size (default 0.25 for MES). These are displayed as labels below/above the signal.
Time Filter: An optional filter limits signals to 9:00–15:00 UTC, aligning with active trading sessions like the US market open.
The indicator ensures compatibility with standard chart types (e.g., candlestick or bar charts) to avoid unrealistic results associated with non-standard types like Heikin Ashi or Renko.
How to Use It
Add to Chart: Apply the indicator to a candlestick or bar chart on TradingView.
Configure Settings:
Multiplier: Adjust the ATR multiplier (default 1.0) to control trend line sensitivity. Higher values widen the stop-loss distance.
Common Period: Set the ATR and MFI/RSI period (default 14) for trend calculations.
No Volume Data: Enable if volume data is unavailable (e.g., for certain forex pairs), switching from MFI to RSI.
Tick Size: Set the tick size for stop-loss calculations (default 0.25 for MES futures).
Show Buy/Sell Signals: Toggle signal labels (default enabled).
Show Stop Loss Ticks: Toggle stop-loss tick labels (default enabled).
Use Time Filter: Restrict signals to 9:00–15:00 UTC (default disabled).
Use Filtered Signals: Enable to reduce signal frequency using bar timing logic (default enabled).
Interpret Signals:
Buy Signal: A blue “BUY” label below the bar indicates a potential long entry (trend line crossover, passing filters).
Sell Signal: A red “SELL” label above the bar indicates a potential short entry (trend line crossunder, passing filters).
Trend Zone: Green fill suggests bullish momentum; red fill suggests bearish momentum.
Stop-Loss Ticks: Gray labels show the stop-loss distance in ticks, helping with risk management.
Monitor Context: Use the trend line and filled zone to confirm the market’s direction before acting on signals.
Unique Features
Adaptive Trend Line: Combines ATR with MFI or RSI to create a responsive trend line that adjusts to volatility and market conditions.
Tick-Based Stop-Loss: Displays stop-loss distances in ticks, customizable for specific instruments, aiding precise risk management.
Signal Filtering: Optional bar timing logic reduces false signals, improving reliability in choppy markets.
Trend Zone Visualization: The filled zone between trend line values enhances trend clarity, making it easier to assess momentum.
Time-Restricted Trading: Optional 9:00–15:00 UTC filter aligns signals with high-liquidity sessions.
Notes
Use on standard candlestick or bar charts to ensure accurate signals.
Test the indicator on a demo account to optimize settings for your market and timeframe.
Combine with other analysis (e.g., support/resistance, volume spikes) for better decision-making.
The indicator is not a standalone system; use it as part of a broader trading strategy.
Limitations
Signals may lag in highly volatile or low-liquidity markets due to ATR-based calculations.
The 9:00–15:00 UTC time filter may not suit all markets; disable it for 24-hour assets like forex or crypto.
Stop-loss tick calculations assume consistent tick sizes; verify compatibility with your instrument.
This indicator is designed for traders seeking a robust, trend-following tool with customizable risk management and signal filtering, optimized for active trading sessions.

Indicator Breakdown
Input Parameters:
The indicator accepts a customizable risk-reward ratio, an ATR period for volatility measurement, and a lookback period to scan for valid candlestick patterns.
ATR & Candle Calculations:
It computes the Average True Range (ATR) to dynamically set stop-loss and take-profit levels. Additionally, it determines the body and wick sizes of each candlestick to help identify key reversal patterns.
Pattern Detection:
Multiple bullish patterns (Hammer, Engulfing, Morning Star) and bearish patterns (Shooting Star, Engulfing, Evening Star) are detected. There’s also a simplified version of the Head & Shoulders pattern, offering further validation for reversal signals.
Signal Generation & Trade Levels:
The script consolidates the pattern signals into combined “buy” and “sell” triggers. It then calculates the respective stop-loss (SL) and take-profit (TP) levels based on the current price and ATR, providing a robust risk management framework.
Visual Aids & Alerts:
To enhance usability, the indicator changes the chart’s background color to green for buy signals and red for sell signals. It also draws labels, lines (representing SL and TP), and markers directly on the chart, along with alert conditions to notify traders of actionable signals.
This indicator is an excellent addition to your TradingView toolkit—ideal for scalpers and short-term traders seeking clarity, precision, and automated signal generation on their charts.

EMA 5 Alert Candle ShortThe 5 EMA (Exponential Moving Average) Strategy is a simple yet effective trading strategy that helps traders identify short-term trends and potential entry and exit points. This strategy is widely used in intraday and swing trading, particularly in forex, stocks, and crypto markets.
Components of the 5 EMA Strategy
5 EMA: A fast-moving average that reacts quickly to price movements.
15-minute or 1-hour timeframe (commonly used, but adaptable to other timeframes).
Candlestick Patterns: To confirm entry signals.
How the 5 EMA Strategy Works
Buy (Long) Setup:
Price Above the 5 EMA: The price should be trading above the 5 EMA.
Pullback to the 5 EMA: A minor retracement or consolidation near the 5 EMA.
Bullish Candlestick Confirmation: A bullish candle (e.g., engulfing or pin bar) forms near the 5 EMA.
Entry: Enter a long trade at the close of the bullish candle.
Stop Loss: Place below the recent swing low or 5-10 pips below the 5 EMA.
Take Profit: Aim for a risk-reward ratio of at least 1:2 or trail the stop using a higher EMA (e.g., 10 or 20 EMA).
Sell (Short) Setup:
Price Below the 5 EMA: The price should be trading below the 5 EMA.
Pullback to the 5 EMA: A small retracement towards the 5 EMA.
Bearish Candlestick Confirmation: A bearish candle (e.g., engulfing or pin bar) near the 5 EMA.
Entry: Enter a short trade at the close of the bearish candle.
Stop Loss: Place above the recent swing high or 5-10 pips above the 5 EMA.
Take Profit: Aim for a 1:2 risk-reward ratio or use a trailing stop.
Additional Filters for Better Accuracy
Higher Timeframe Confirmation: Check the trend on a higher timeframe (e.g., 1-hour or 4-hour).
Volume Confirmation: Enter trades when volume is increasing.
Avoid Sideways Market: Use the strategy only when the market is trending.
Advantages of the 5 EMA Strategy
✔️ Simple and easy to use.
✔️ Works well in trending markets.
✔️ Helps traders capture short-term momentum.
Disadvantages
❌ Less effective in choppy or sideways markets.
❌ Requires discipline in following stop-loss rules.
RSI/Stochastic With Real Time Candle OverlayThis indicator provides an alternative way to visualize either RSI or Stochastic values by representing them as candle bars in real time, allowing a more detailed view of momentum shifts within each bar. By default, it displays the standard historical plot of the chosen oscillator in the background, but once you are receiving real-time data (or if you keep your chart open through the close), it begins overlaying candles that track the oscillator’s intrabar movements. These candles only exist for as long as the chart remains open; if you refresh or load the chart anew, there is no stored candle history, although the standard RSI or Stochastic line is still fully retained. These candles offer insight into short-term fluctuations that are otherwise hidden when viewing a single line for RSI or Stochastic.
In the settings, there is an option to switch between standard candlesticks and Heiken Ashi. When Heiken Ashi is selected, the indicator uses the Heiken Ashi close once it updates in real time, producing a smoothed view of intrabar price movement for the oscillator. This can help identify trends in RSI or Stochastic by making it easier to spot subtle changes in direction, though some may prefer the unmodified values that come from using regular candles. The combination of these candle styles with an oscillator’s output offers flexibility for different analytical preferences.
Traders who use RSI or Stochastic often focus on entry and exit signals derived from crossing certain thresholds, but they are usually limited to a single reading per bar. With this tool, it becomes possible to watch how the oscillator’s value evolves within the bar itself, which can be especially useful for shorter timeframes or for those who prefer a more granular look at momentum shifts. The visual separation between bullish and bearish candle bodies within the indicator can highlight sudden reversals or confirm ongoing trends in the oscillator, aiding in more precise decision-making. Because the candle overlay is cleared as soon as the bar closes, the chart remains uncluttered when scrolling through historical data, ensuring that only the necessary real-time candle information is displayed.
Overall, this indicator is intended for users who wish to track intrabar changes in RSI or Stochastic, with the added choice of standard or Heiken Ashi candle representation. The real-time candle overlay clarifies short-lived fluctuations, while the standard line plots maintain the usual clarity of past data. This approach can be beneficial for those who want deeper insights into how oscillator values develop in real time, without permanently altering the simplicity of the chart’s historical view.
