No Wick Setup Indicator
**No Wick Setup Indicator**
This is a custom trading indicator designed to identify and signal potential buy and sell opportunities based on candlestick patterns with no wicks. Specifically, it looks for candles with no wicks at the bottom (bullish setup) or no wicks at the top (bearish setup). Here's how it works:
**Key Features:**
- **Bullish Setup**: A green candlestick with no bottom wick (i.e., the open price is equal to the low price of the candle) is considered a potential bullish signal. A trendline is drawn at the bottom of this candle. When the market price returns to this trendline, a buy signal is generated.
- **Bearish Setup**: A red candlestick with no top wick (i.e., the open price is equal to the high price of the candle) is considered a potential bearish signal. A trendline is drawn at the top of this candle. When the market price returns to this trendline, a sell signal is generated.
- **Timeframe**: This indicator works exclusively on the **30-minute timeframe**.
**How It Works:**
1. When a candlestick pattern with no bottom wick (bullish setup) is identified, a trendline is drawn at the low of the candlestick.
2. When a candlestick pattern with no top wick (bearish setup) is identified, a trendline is drawn at the high of the candlestick.
3. The indicator then tracks the market price and waits for it to return to the respective trendline level.
4. **Buy Signal**: When the market price touches or goes below the bullish trendline, a **Buy** signal is displayed on the chart with an upward arrow.
5. **Sell Signal**: When the market price touches or goes above the bearish trendline, a **Sell** signal is displayed on the chart with a downward arrow.
**Visual Elements:**
- **Trendlines**: Horizontal lines drawn at the bottom (bullish) or top (bearish) of the candlesticks with no wick.
- **Buy/Sell Labels**: Labels indicating "Buy" or "Sell" appear when the market price returns to the trendline.
**Why Use This Indicator?**
- This indicator helps identify specific price levels where the market might reverse or consolidate based on candlestick structure, offering potential entry points for trades.
- It allows traders to focus on price action and market behavior without relying on more complex indicators.

Candle Patterns Ver.2When someone decided to start trading the first thing we learn is how to read and understand the candlesticks. This little "boxes" with sticks tell us how the market sentiment and they can be used to "predict" future moves. I put predict inside a quotation marks because I would say predict the market is almost an utopia and we all know the reason.
Anyway with a good understand in reading the candlesticks with other indicators(like momentum or even a MA) can give us some edge when analyzing an instrument.
Since we have a lot of candlesticks types I did some back test and figured out that for my strategy that three candlestick types works very well. I will briefly describe then.
Engulfing Bar
This type of candlestick shows us a potential reversal based on the previous bar.
A bullish Engulfing has the close higher than the open it works better if the previous one is a bearish bar(open higher than close) and it is at a Support level. The body of the Engulfing bar should "engulf" the full body of the previous bar. If all parameters(previous bearish bar at Support level after a downtrend move) this Engulfing will represents a reversal move. When I say reversal it could means a pullback reversal(if the past trend is downtrend) or if the previous downtrend is a pullback from a past uptrend. In any way the previous bearish followed by an bullish Engulfing in general leads for an upward move.
The same picture applies to a previous bullish bar followed by an bearish Engulfing bar that if appears at the Resistance level will lead to a downward move.
One thing that is worth to mention is in a downward(or upward) move we have a small bullish bar followed by a bullish Engulfing this situation may lead to a continuation, not reversal.
Pinbar Bar:
This is another candlestick type that represents possible reversal. The Pinbar candle show a small(or medium) size but the important part is the size of the stick. If the stick is the upper one and has the size of 2 times the size of the body, it is a bearish bars and it appears after an uptrend move it represents that the buyers are losing momentum so we can expect a reversal move. When this type of bar appears after a downward move, it is a bullish bars but the stick is the lower one and has the size of two times of the body it will represents a bullish reversal. In this picture this candle is called a "Hammer".
So based on that I develop an indicator that shows me these 2 bars types and makes easy to identify with the other indicator possible entries.
Please feel free for a constructive comments and hope it help any one whe trading. Candlestick are the fundamentals of Price action.
You all have a great trading new week.
Wickiness IndexWickiness Index - Detect Indecision and Trend Exhaustion
The Wickiness Index is a versatile technical indicator designed to measure the proportion of wicks (upper and lower shadows) relative to the total range of price bars over a specified lookback period. It provides insights into market indecision, reversals, and trend exhaustion by analyzing the structural composition of candlesticks. The indicator calculates the lengths of upper and lower wicks along with the body of each candlestick. Each bar's wick length is expressed as a percentage of the total range (High - Low). The ratio is scaled to 0–100, where 100 represents entirely wicks with no body (indicating pure indecision) and 0 represents no wicks with only body (indicating strong directional movement). These values are then averaged over the lookback period (default = 5 bars) to provide a smoothed representation of wickiness, reducing noise and highlighting trends.
A high value, especially above 70, suggests indecision or potential reversals, as candlesticks dominated by wicks often appear near tops or bottoms. Conversely, low values below 30 indicate trend strength and strong momentum, useful for spotting breakouts and trend continuation. Mid-range values between 30 and 70 often indicate consolidation phases or gradual transitions between trends. Traders can adjust the lookback period to match their trading style, with shorter periods offering faster responses and longer periods providing smoother trends.
This indicator is particularly useful for trend reversal detection, breakout confirmation, and volatility filtering. It scales effectively across all timeframes, making it suitable for both intraday traders and long-term investors. When combined with volume analysis or trend-following indicators, the Wickiness Index can further strengthen trade signals. The visual design includes a blue line for the index and horizontal reference lines at 30 and 70, allowing for quick and intuitive interpretation.
The Wickiness Index offers a unique perspective on market sentiment and price action behavior, providing traders with valuable insights into potential turning points, momentum shifts, and market indecision. It is a powerful tool for improving decision-making in volatile markets and identifying areas where price trends may weaken or reverse.
DECPDECP is simple and easy to use!
It detects bullish and bearish engulfing candlestick patterns.
After detecting the patterns I've said, it mentions that the pattern is going to continue its direction to up or down.
But remember candlestick patterns don't determine targets and it's possible that predicted directions fail.
So use it carefully and enjoy it!
Bullish Engulfing Automatic Finding Script This is a bullish pattern formed by three candlesticks.
The pattern is based on the fact that the last candlestick must
completely engulf the previous two and be upward. The two preceding
candlesticks must also be downward. Candlestick wicks are not taken
into account.
Daytrading ES Wick Length StrategyThis Pine Script strategy calculates the combined length of upper and lower wicks of candlesticks and uses a customizable moving average (MA) to identify potential long entry points. The strategy compares the total wick length to the MA with an added offset. If the wick length exceeds the offset-adjusted MA, the strategy enters a long position. The position is automatically closed after a user-defined holding period.
Key Features:
1. Calculates the sum of upper and lower wicks for each candlestick.
2. Offers four types of moving averages (SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA) for analysis.
3. Allows the user to set a customizable MA length and an offset to shift the MA.
4. Automatically exits positions after a specified number of bars.
5. Visualizes the wick length as a histogram and the offset-adjusted MA as a line.

Line Style Mode
The Line Style Mode offers a simpler and minimalistic representation of the RSI values by using a line instead of candlesticks to visualize market trends. This mode helps traders focus on the overall trend direction and eliminates potential distractions caused by the complexity of candlestick patterns.
Candle Color Overlay Mode
The Candle Color Overlay Mode is a unique feature in the RSI Primed indicator that allows traders to visualize the RSI values on the chart's candles as a heat gradient. This mode adds a color overlay to the candlesticks, representing the RSI values in relation to the candlesticks' price action.
By displaying the RSI as a color gradient, traders can quickly assess market momentum and identify overbought or oversold conditions without having to switch between different modes or charts. The gradient ranges from cool colors (blue and green) for lower RSI values, indicating oversold conditions, to warm colors (orange and red) for higher RSI values, signifying overbought situations.
To enable the Candle Color Overlay Mode, traders can toggle the "Color Candles" option in the indicator settings. Once enabled, the color gradient will be applied to the candlesticks on the chart, providing a visually striking and informative representation of the RSI values in relation to price action. This mode can be used in tandem with any of the other charting styles, allowing traders to gain even more insights into market trends and momentum.
RSI Primed Implementation
The RSI Primed indicator combines the benefits of various charting styles with the RSI to help traders gain a comprehensive view of market trends and price momentum.

CCPD Candle Color Price DetectorThe "CCPD Candle Color Price Detector" is a custom indicator developed for TradingView, a popular platform for technical analysis and trading. This indicator assists traders in identifying potential trend reversals and assessing market sentiment based on candlestick color changes and key price levels.
This indicator operates as follows:
Color Change Detection: It primarily focuses on the color of candlesticks (green for bullish and red for bearish). When a candlestick closes higher than it opens, it is considered green (bullish), and when it closes lower, it is red (bearish).
High and Low Analysis: The indicator calculates the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined number of bars (specified by the 'Bars for High/Low' input parameter). This helps identify recent price extremes.
Midpoint Calculation: It then computes the midpoint between the highest high and lowest low, effectively determining a central reference point within the specified period.
Signal Generation: Buy and sell signals are generated based on the relationship between the current candlestick's close price, the midpoint, and the candlestick color. Buy signals occur when a green candle closes above the midpoint, suggesting potential bullish momentum. Conversely, sell signals trigger when a red candle closes below the midpoint, indicating possible bearish pressure.
Visualization: The indicator visualizes the highest high, lowest low, midpoint, and additional lines to aid in understanding the price action and potential reversal points.
Alerts: It provides alerts for buy and sell signals, allowing traders to receive notifications when potential trading opportunities arise.
Usage:
Traders can utilize the "CCPD Candle Color Price Detector" in the following ways:
Trend Reversal Identification: This indicator can help traders spot potential trend reversals by signaling when candlestick colors change and close near the midpoint. Buy and sell signals offer entry points for trades based on these reversals.
Confirmation Tool: It can be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to confirm trading decisions. For example, a buy signal from this indicator, coupled with a bullish trendline break or a bounce from a key support level, may provide a stronger bullish signal.
Risk Management: By understanding potential reversal points and using stop-loss orders, traders can better manage their risk and protect their capital when entering positions based on the indicator's signals.
Customization: The indicator allows users to adjust the number of bars for high/low calculations, making it adaptable to different trading strategies and timeframes.
In summary, the "CCPD Candle Color Price Detector" is a versatile indicator that can aid traders in spotting potential trend changes, enhancing trading decisions, and managing risk effectively. However, like any trading tool, it should be used in conjunction with other analysis methods and risk management strategies for optimal results.

Ehlers Regime Dynamic CandlesCore Calculation Mechanism
The indicator uses advanced Ehlers signal processing techniques to identify market regimes and create dynamically colored candles that reflect market conditions.
Super Smoother Filter: Price data (open, high, low, close) is processed through an Ehlers Super Smoother Filter to reduce market noise while preserving important price movements. This creates a clearer signal for regime detection.
Autocorrelation Analysis: The core of regime detection uses autocorrelation functions at different lag periods:
Primary autocorrelation measures correlation between the current price and its previous value
Trending autocorrelation measures longer-term persistence in the data series
These values combined determine if the market is in a trending or choppy regime
(Image showing Ehlers custom candles vs default candlesticks)
Regime Strength Calculation:
-Raw signal from autocorrelation with user-defined threshold adjustment
-Adaptive scaling based on sensitivity parameter
-Optional volume validation that confirms signal strength using volume data
-Normalization to 0-1 range and smoothing for visual consistency
-Percentile ranking to provide contextually meaningful strength values
Fisher Transform: Applied to the smoothed price to identify statistical extremes, which helps adjust transparency levels during significant price movements.
Key Features & Components
Regime Detection: Identifies trending vs. choppy market conditions using Ehlers' autocorrelation techniques.
Dynamic Candle Coloring: Candles transition smoothly between three color states:
Bullish trending (typically green/teal)
Bearish trending (typically red/purple)
Choppy/neutral (typically blue/silver)
Volume Validation: Optional incorporation of volume data to confirm trend strength (stronger volume during trending periods increases confidence).
Adaptive Transparency: Candles become more opaque during statistically significant price movements based on Fisher Transform values.
Gradient Smoothing: Controls the visual transition between regime states for a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Customizable Colors and Style: Full control over all visual aspects including candle body/wick colors and transparency.
Configuration Options
Users can adjust the following parameters in the indicator settings:
Main Settings:
Cycle Length: Controls the lookback period for cycle detection. Lower values increase responsiveness but may introduce noise.
Gradient Smoothness: Determines how quickly colors transition when regime changes.
Trend Detection Threshold: Sets the autocorrelation strength required to classify a trend.
Trend Sensitivity: Scales regime strength calculation to produce a better distribution of values.
Use Volume: Toggles whether volume data is used to validate trend strength.
Color Settings:
Trending Regime Colors: Separate color options for bullish and bearish candle bodies and wicks.
Choppy Regime Colors: Color options for candle bodies and wicks during sideways/neutral markets.
Style Settings:
Candle Border Options: Toggle borders and adjust their color and transparency.
Adaptive Transparency: Enable/disable dynamic transparency based on statistical significance.
Base Transparency: Set the baseline transparency level for all candles.
Interpretation Notes
Color Transitions: As the market shifts between regimes, candle colors gradually transition, providing visual cues about market structure changes.
Regime Strength: The intensity of colors indicates the strength of the detected regime:
Strong trending regimes show vibrant trending colors
Weak or mixed regimes display colors closer to the choppy/neutral color
Transitions between regimes show gradient colors
Transparency Changes: More opaque candles indicate statistically significant price movements, while more transparent candles suggest routine or less significant price action.
Volume Interaction: When volume validation is enabled, trending colors become more pronounced during high volume trends and subdued during low volume periods.
Disclaimer: These are custom candles that are significantly different from normal candlesticks.
Unlike traditional candlesticks that display raw price data, these candles:
• Use Ehlers signal processing to filter and smooth price data
• Dynamically change color based on detected market regimes
• Show statistical significance through transparency
• May appear delayed compared to standard candles due to the filtering process
Traditional trading strategies dependent on candlestick patterns will not work with these.
Risk Disclaimer
Trading involves significant risk. This indicator is provided for analytical purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Use sound risk management practices and never trade with capital you cannot afford to lose. The Ehlers Regime Dynamic Candles indicator should be used as part of a comprehensive trading approach, not as a standalone trading system.
Extrema DetectorDetermines local maximums and minimums points in the chart.
Parameters:
lookback : number of candlesticks to look.
extrema_finder_sensivity : If lower, more extreme points will be found (may over-find).
Brief algorithm description:
Computes a Simple Moving Average (length= extrema_finder_sensivity ), and searches for its local extremes.
Given some SMA extreme, it looks the previous extrema_finder_sensivity candlesticks to find the highest (or lowest value).
Notes:
Is a lagged indicator: determining if the current candlestick have reach a maximum can be delayed to, at most extrema_finder_sensivity -further candlesticks.
L2 Candle Pattern ScalperLevel: 2
Background
Japanese candlesticks provide more detailed and accurate information about price movements compared to bar charts. They provide a graphical representation of the supply and demand behind the price promotions for each period. Each candlestick contains a central part that indicates the distance between the opening and closing of the security being traded, the area called the body.
Scalping is a trading strategy that aims to take advantage of minor changes in the stock price. Traders using this strategy place anywhere from 10 to a few hundred trades in a single day with the belief that small moves in the stock price are easier to catch than large ones. Traders who implement this strategy are known as scalpers. Lots of small wins can easily lead to big wins if a strict exit strategy is used to prevent big losses.
Function
L2 Candle Pattern Scalper utilizes candle pattern to decide long and short entry signal. It use inherent candles' relationship nearby to judge the market trend is up or down and decide to long or short.
Signal
buysmall --> long entry
exitred --> short entry
Pros and Cons
Pros:
1. its response is fast because OHLC candle is the raw source of market
2. it is suitable for scalping because it studies nearby candles to judge very short term trend change
Cons:
1. Mid-long term change is missing from this indicator, although I use fast and slow lines to indicate the mid-term trend.
2. No stop loss or take profit scheme is introduced.
Remarks
This is promising but need efforts to refine it.

Bearish Engulfing Strategy This is a bearish candlestick reversal pattern formed by two candlesticks.
Following an uptrend, the first candlestick is a up candlestick which is
followed by a down candlestick which has a long real body that engulfs or
contains the real body of the prior bar. The Engulfing pattern is the reverse
of the Harami pattern.
WARNING:
- This script to change bars colors.
Engulfing Pattern & Impulse [UAlgo]The Engulfing Pattern & Impulse is a tool designed for technical traders who utilize price action and volume analysis to assess market trends and potential reversals. This indicator identifies two powerful trading signals: Engulfing Patterns and Volume Impulses, which are essential components for evaluating potential bullish or bearish market momentum.
Engulfing Patterns are classic candlestick formations often associated with reversals or trend continuations, depending on the overall trend context. This indicator highlights both bullish and bearish engulfing patterns based on configurable criteria such as trend detection settings, comparison with average body size, and a customizable body multiplier for validation. The Volume Impulse feature signals moments of significant volume compared to historical levels, which often precede substantial price movements. Together, these features provide traders with a versatile tool for better timing entry and exit points.
The indicator also offers an adaptive trend detection system, allowing traders to choose from multiple methods (e.g., SMA50 or SMA50/SMA200 combinations) to assess the trend context, making it ideal for various market conditions.
🔶Key Features
Engulfing Pattern Detection: Identifies bullish and bearish engulfing patterns with customizable parameters, including body length and average size comparison.
Configurable trend basis: Choose between SMA50 or SMA50 with SMA200 to define trend direction.
Body size multiplier: Adjust the size threshold for valid engulfing patterns, providing flexibility based on market conditions.
Volume Impulse Signal: Highlights volume spikes that meet or exceed a specified multiplier, which can indicate increased buying or selling interest.
Customizable volume period and multiplier: Allows you to tailor the volume impulse detection based on the instrument’s average volume behavior.
Trend Detection Options: Select different trend detection methods to suit various trading styles and instruments.
SMA50-based detection: Classifies the trend based on the position of price relative to the 50-period SMA.
SMA50 and SMA200 combination: Incorporates a dual-moving average approach, classifying trends based on the relationship between price, SMA50, and SMA200.
Enhanced Visualization: Distinguishes bullish and bearish signals with customizable colors, providing clear and immediate visual cues for easy interpretation.
Custom label colors: Allows you to set distinct colors for bullish, bearish, and neutral signals for quick identification.
Pattern filtering: Enable or disable specific patterns (Bullish, Bearish, or Both) based on your trading preferences.
🔶 Interpreting Indicator
Bullish Engulfing Pattern: Indicates a potential bullish reversal in a downtrend. This signal occurs when a white candlestick with a body size exceeding a specified multiplier completely engulfs the previous black candlestick. The pattern will display a “BE” label below the candle if it meets the criteria, signaling potential upward momentum.
Bearish Engulfing Pattern: Indicates a potential bearish reversal in an uptrend. A black candlestick with a body size exceeding the specified multiplier fully engulfs the previous white candlestick, signaling possible downward movement. The “BE” label appears above the candle to denote this pattern.
Volume Impulse Up: Displays a “VI” label below the candle when the volume surpasses the defined multiplier, and the price closes higher than it opened, indicating strong upward buying interest.
Volume Impulse Down: Displays a “VI” label above the candle when the volume meets or exceeds the specified threshold, and the price closes lower than it opened, signaling strong selling pressure.
