Muqwishi Volumetric CandleIntroduction
Have you ever heard that each candle represents a battle between bulls (buyer) and bears (seller)? If you know the answer, apparently you understand what the price action means. What if I ask you, how much was bloody in each battle between bulls and bears?!. This indicator may give a clear picture of how to identify the candle’s strength by implementing the Standard Deviation on volume and reshape the candle.
The Muqwishi Volumetric Candles indicator works to weigh each candle instantaneously and updates its color level from lightness to darkness based on the rate of the volumetric standard deviation.
Here’s how the idea started with the conceptual design, then improved till achieved to the implemented design of a structured candle.
The conceptual design mentioned for reviewing how the idea started. However, I want you to understand the “implemented design” in which the indicator has been built to address it. As I stated structurally for the implemented design section, wick and border are identified by the user through “Chart Properties” unlike core and body is measured by the indicator.
The candle’s body is ”Dynamic” that colored based on the amount of volume standard deviation in which the low volume standard deviation is a lighter candle’s color and the high volume standard deviation is a darker candle’s color. The core is “Static” color represents zero volume standard deviation which the volume at the average level. In the case where the core is darker than the body means the volume standard deviation is lower than the average volume level, and when the core is lighter than the body mean the volume standard deviation is higher than the average volume level, and when the core’s color has the same body’s color means the volume is in the average level. The image is the best guide to understand the idea.
Rarely seeing a volume standard deviation below -2σ, even though the volume is apparently dead. However, it’s possible to see more than 3.9σ, and mostly it has the same effect as 3.9σ. Personally, any candle above 1.5σ is taking my attention, and more than 2σ I look around seeking for reasons to not take a trade.
§§ Note, if you have misunderstood the standard deviation concept, there are many great sources to understand it such as Wikipedia, YouTube,... etc. In a basic example, How much is your height relative to the height of average people in your city!!?. Similarly, how much is the amount of volume relative to the average volume of a number series of previous bars?!.
Indicator Overview
Before I get into this section, this is NOT meant to be an educational or recommendation. Just showing you how I use this indicator based on an experience.
The chart above has been remarked as an example of how I apply it. Again, it’s a personal preference, and it doesn’t mean this’s an efficient way.
Indicator Setting
➤ Ensure to visualize the indicator to the front for recognition of the candle’s core.

● Saturation: From narrow range to wide range colored as low volume SD to high volume SD.
■ Reverse Mode: Yes → Darkness to Lightness colored as low SD to high SD.
■ Show Core: No → Hide cores.
Summarize
■ Users should have a fundamental knowledge of Standard Deviation.
■ The candle’s body is dynamic colored. Got light as low volume standard deviation, and Dark as high volume standard deviation occurred.
■ The Candle’s core is static colored. Represents the average volume which Standard Deviation equals zero.
■ This’s not a trading signal. It works to visualize the level of transactions made per candle.

Extreme Candle Pattern Visualizer🟠 OVERVIEW
This indicator compares the current candle's percentage change against historical data, then highlights past candles with equal or bigger magnitude of movement. Also, for all the highlighted past candles, it tracks how far price extends before recovering to its starting point. It also provides statistical context through percentile rankings.
IN SHORT: Quickly spot similar price movements in the past and understand how unusual the current candle is using percentile rankings.
🟠 CORE CONCEPT
The indicator operates on two fundamental principles:
1. Statistical Rarity Detection
The script calculates the percentage change (open to close) of every candle within a user-defined lookback period and determines where the current candle ranks in this distribution. A candle closing at -9% might fall in the bottom 5th percentile, indicating it's more extreme than 95% of recent candles. This percentile ranking helps traders identify statistically unusual moves that often precede reversals or extended trends.
2. Recovery Path Mapping
Once extreme candles are identified (those matching or exceeding the current candle's magnitude), the indicator tracks their subsequent price action. For bearish candles, it measures how far price dropped before recovering back to the candle's opening price. For bullish candles, it tracks how high price climbed before returning to the open. This reveals whether extreme moves typically extend further or reverse quickly.
🟠 PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
Mean Reversion Trading:
Candles in extreme percentiles (below 10% or above 90%) often signal oversold/overbought conditions. The recovery lines show typical extension distances, helping traders set profit targets for counter-trend entries.
Momentum Continuation:
When extreme candles show small recovery percentages before price reverses back, it suggests strong directional momentum that may continue.
Stop Loss Placement:
Historical recovery data reveals typical extension ranges after extreme moves, informing more precise stop loss positioning beyond noise but before major reversals.
Pattern Recognition:
By visualizing how similar historical extremes resolved, traders gain context for current price action rather than trading in isolation.
🟠 VISUAL ELEMENTS
Orange Circles: Mark historical candles with similar or greater magnitude to current candle
Red Lines: Track downward extensions after bearish extreme candles
Green Lines: Track upward extensions after bullish extreme candles
Percentage Labels: Show exact extension distance from candle close to extreme point
Percentile Label: Color-coded box displaying current candle's statistical ranking
Hollow Candles: Background rendering for clean chart presentation
🟠 ORIGINALITY
This indicator uniquely combines statistical percentile analysis with forward-looking recovery tracking. While many indicators identify extreme moves, few show what happened next across multiple historical instances simultaneously. The dual approach provides both the "how rare is this?" question (percentile) and "what typically happens after?" answer (recovery paths) in a single visual framework.
DeltaStrike — Aggressive Candle Detector by Chaitu50cDeltaStrike — Aggressive Candle Detector
by Chaitu50c
DeltaStrike is a simple and effective tool designed to help traders identify the most aggressive candles on the chart in real time. It works purely on price action and internal candle dynamics, with no reliance on lagging indicators.
The indicator combines delta (directional strength), candle range, and volume to compute an overall aggressiveness score for each candle. When this score exceeds a dynamic threshold based on recent market behavior, the candle is marked as an aggressive move.
Aggressive bullish candles are plotted as green diamonds below the candle, while aggressive bearish candles are plotted as red diamonds above the candle. The goal is to help traders visually spot moments of strong directional pressure, where potential trends or reversals may emerge.
The detection logic adapts automatically to changing market volatility and volume, making it suitable for all instruments and timeframes, including index futures, equities, and forex.
An integrated dashboard on the chart displays live readings of the key components contributing to each candle’s aggressiveness score: delta ratio, range ratio, and volume ratio. This helps traders understand the internal structure of each aggressive move.
Features:
Dynamic aggressiveness detection based on delta, range, and volume
Adaptive threshold for consistent behavior across timeframes and instruments
Clean chart output with clear diamond markers only on selected candles
Live dashboard with internal metrics for advanced analysis
Simple, lightweight, and optimized for intraday and swing trading
Works with any instrument: index, equity, forex, commodity
DeltaStrike is intended as an objective visual aid to help traders focus on genuine moments of strong market intent, filtering out ordinary or passive price movement. It can be used standalone or in combination with your existing trading strategy.

This feature highlights candles that have a significantly larger range compared to the average true range (ATR).
How it works: A candle is considered imbalanced if its range (high - low) exceeds a specified multiple of the ATR (default multiplier is 1.5, with an ATR length of 5).
Visualization: Such candles are highlighted in yellow.
Engulfing Candle Detection
This feature detects bullish and bearish engulfing candles.
Types
Standard: Traditional engulfing pattern where the current candle fully "engulfs" the previous one.
Sweep: A variation where the candle engulfs the previous one and sweeps the previous low (for bullish) or high (for bearish).
Visualization:
Bullish engulfing patterns are marked with a green triangle below the candle.
Bearish engulfing patterns are marked with a red triangle above the candle.
Momentum Candle Detection
This feature identifies candles with strong upward or downward momentum compared to the previous candle.
Types
Standard: A basic momentum pattern where the current candle continues the price direction with strong momentum.
Sweep: A variation where the candle sweeps the previous low (for bullish) or high (for bearish).
Visualization:
Bullish momentum candles are marked with a green circle below the candle.
Bearish momentum candles are marked with a red circle above the candle.
Summary
This indicator helps traders identify significant market conditions such as imbalances, engulfing candles, and momentum patterns, making it a valuable tool for technical analysis and trend-following strategies.

Candles Volume HeatMap [BigBeluga]Candles Volume HeatMap
The Candle Volume HeatMap indicator is a unique and advanced tool that visualizes lower timeframe volume activity within higher timeframe candles, offering traders a granular perspective on volume distribution.
⚠️Important note: before using the indicator, it is necessary to apply it to the candles
🔵Key Features:
Volume HeatMap Visualization: The indicator breaks down each higher timeframe candle into 10 equal vertical segments (boxes) based on its high-to-low range. Each box represents a lower timeframe candle's volume activity, with more intense colors indicating stronger volume levels.
Lower Timeframe Integration: Automatically uses a timeframe 10x lower than the current chart. For example, on a 10-hour chart, it uses 1-hour candles to extract volume data.
POC (Point of Control): The highest volume box within each candle is marked with the volume value. The indicator also plots a horizontal POC line at the level of this box, highlighting significant areas of price interest. The POC line is removed once the price crosses it, ensuring the chart stays clean.
Delta Display (Optional): Traders can enable the Delta feature to analyze buyer vs. seller activity within each higher timeframe candle.
Delta is calculated by summing 10 lower timeframe candles: a bullish candle adds to buyers, while a bearish candle adds to sellers. Displays the net Delta percentage: positive values (white) indicate buyer dominance, while negative values (red) indicate seller dominance.
Dynamic Volume Scaling: The highest volume value in each candle is displayed inside its respective box, providing quick insights into critical price-volume levels.
🔵How It Works:
For each higher timeframe candle, the indicator analyzes 10 lower timeframe candles and maps their volume into 10 segments (boxes) between the high and low of the current candle.
The intensity of each box's color corresponds to the relative volume of the lower timeframe candle it represents.
The POC highlights the price level with the highest concentration of volume, aiding in identifying potential support/resistance zones.
Delta analysis offers additional insights into market sentiment by breaking down buyer and seller activity in each candle.
🔵Use Cases:
Spotting key volume areas within higher timeframe candles to identify support and resistance levels.
Analyzing volume concentration for potential breakout or reversal zones.
Leveraging Delta analysis to gauge market sentiment and confirm volume-based trends.
This indicator is ideal for traders seeking to combine volume analysis with price action, offering precise insights into volume distribution and market dynamics.

Indecision Candle FinderIndecision Candle Finder, is a simple indicator for quickly identifying indecision candles.
What does Indecision Candle Finder Indicator Does?
This indicator enables quick and easy identification of indecision candles. When an indecision candle appears on a chart, this indicator identifies this candle with either a red circle for a bearish indecision candle, or a green circle for bullish indecision candle.
What is an indecision candle?
Indecision candles are relatively small and opposite direction candles that appear between two equal direction candles on a trending market. These candles usually have a smaller body than their wicks and can appear on any timeframe.
How to use Indecision Candle Finder Properly?
Indecision candles by definition indicate indecisiveness in the market. These are areas where some traders, especially the smart money do trades opposite to the market direction. On a trending market, these areas may work as resistance/support zones when the trend changes or the market makes a correction.
Indecision Candles especially work well on higher timeframes.
Example #1
In this graph, we can see a valid example of an indecision candle. A relatively small bearish candle appearing on a trending market. This zone worked as a resistance zone when the trend changes.
CPR with inside candle, Pivot Points and 4EMA The CPR trading strategy is a technical analysis approach that combines multiple indicators to determine potential price levels and trading opportunities. The strategy uses three main components: Inside Candles, Pivot Points, and the 4EMA.
Inside Candles: The Inside Candle pattern is a candlestick pattern where the current candle has a lower high and a higher low than the previous candle. This pattern can indicate a period of consolidation or indecision in the market and can signal a potential reversal or continuation of the trend.
Pivot Points: Pivot Points are technical indicators that use the previous day's price data to calculate key levels of support and resistance for the current trading day. These levels can act as potential areas of buying or selling pressure and can help traders identify potential entry and exit points.
4EMA: The 4EMA is a short-term Exponential Moving Average that tracks the average price of an asset over the previous four periods. This indicator is used to help identify short-term trends in the market and can signal potential buying or selling opportunities.
To apply the CPR strategy, traders first look for Inside Candles on their chart, indicating a period of consolidation or indecision in the market. Next, they identify the Pivot Points for the current trading day, which can act as potential areas of support or resistance. Finally, traders use the 4EMA to confirm the direction of the trend and potential entry or exit points.
For example, if an Inside Candle forms at a Pivot Point level and the 4EMA is indicating an uptrend, this could be a potential buying opportunity. Conversely, if an Inside Candle forms at a Pivot Point level and the 4EMA is indicating a downtrend, this could be a potential selling opportunity.

Oxy CandlestickOxymoronic (oxy) candlesticks often appear at significant levels in a chart and can indicate increased probabilities of directional moves.
Typically, green candles are hollow and red candles are filled. An oxymoronic candle is colored bullishly but filled bearishly (solid green) or vice versa (hollow red).
Oxy flags occur when:
1) Price gaps up and closes lower than the open but above the last close. A solid green (or black) candle is bearish.
2) Price gaps down and closes higher than the open but below the last close. A hollow red candle is bullish.
An oxy candle indicates one of three things:
1) Price is going up (bullish oxy)
2) Price is going down (bearish oxy)
3) Price will return to this level (either)
#1 and #2 are the default meaning. If those don't play out then look for #3.
As is the case with most indicators, it is best not to use this indicator in isolation, but to combine it with other forms of analysis to increase your probabilities and to identify significant levels.
Candle Height in Percentage - ColumnsThis indicator calculates the difference in percentage between lows and highs of a candle. The orange bars show the height of the candle body (open/close) and the red/green on top show the percentage of the wicks (high/low). This assists in understanding the volatility of an asset. Showing this in percentages is more helpful in crypto. It also shows the Simple Moving Average of this data with the blue line.
Candlestick Pattern IdentifierMy script builds upon another user-submitted script by rebuilding the logic used to identify candlestick patterns. The logic in my script is a mix of strict and lax guidelines to mitigate false flags and present valid buy and sell signals.
-To use this indicator, simply add it to any chart. It will identify trends on any time frame although the lower you go, the more signals you'll see and the higher probability of those signals being false flags. You can also disable any candlestick patterns that you feel are not as useful.
- This indicator works best with Stocks and also with Forex markets to a lesser extent.
- This indicator works the best on the Daily chart and also works (with varying degrees of success) on any timeframe at or above 1 hour. I've found that this indicator works the best when used in tandem with the Daily and Hourly charts with the Hourly chart being used to determine an entry point while the Daily chart is used for long term trend analysis.
Heikin-Ashi-Candles MTFHeikin-Ashi Higher Timeframe Candles
This indicator overlays higher-timeframe Heikin-Ashi candles (default: 5 minutes) onto a lower-timeframe chart (e.g., 1 minute). Instead of using standard candlesticks, it draws:
Semi-transparent rectangles to represent the candle bodies.
Vertical lines to represent wicks, centered on each body.
Key features:
Dynamic transparency: The current, still-forming higher-timeframe candle is plotted in green or red (depending on trend) with a separate, lighter transparency (default: 30) so you can easily distinguish it from completed candles.
Finalization on close: As soon as a higher-timeframe candle closes, its body and wicks update to the standard transparency level (default: 50), ensuring completed candles are visually distinct.
Customizable inputs: You can adjust
The higher timeframe (tf) for Heikin-Ashi calculations.
Body transparency for confirmed candles.
Transparency for unfinished candles.
Wick thickness.
Use case:
This is particularly useful for traders who analyze price action on lower timeframes but want to stay aware of the higher-timeframe Heikin-Ashi trend without switching charts. The fading effect on the active candle helps prevent confusion between fully formed candles and those still developing.
MTF Candles [Fadi x MMT]MTF Candles
Overview
The MTF Candles indicator is a powerful tool designed for traders who want to visualize higher timeframe (HTF) candles directly on their current chart. Built with flexibility and precision in mind, this Pine Script indicator displays up to six higher timeframe candles, complete with customizable styling, sweeps, midpoints, fair value gaps (FVGs), volume imbalances, and trace lines. It’s perfect for multi-timeframe analysis, helping traders identify key levels, market structure, and potential trading opportunities with ease.
Key Features
- Multi-Timeframe Candles : Display up to six higher timeframe candles (e.g., 5m, 15m, 30m, 4H, 1D, 1W) on your chart, with configurable timeframes and visibility.
- Sweeps Detection : Identify liquidity sweeps (highs/lows) with customizable line styles, widths, and colors, plus optional alerts for confirmed bullish or bearish sweeps.
- Midpoint Lines : Plot the midpoint (average of high and low) of the previous HTF candle, with customizable color, width, and style for enhanced market analysis.
- Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) : Highlight gaps between non-adjacent candles, indicating potential areas of interest for price action.
- Volume Imbalances : Detect and display volume imbalances between adjacent candles, aiding in spotting significant price levels.
- Trace Lines : Connect HTF candle open, close, high, and low prices to their respective chart bars, with customizable styles and optional price labels.
- Custom Daily Open Times : Support for custom daily candle open times (Midnight, 8:30, or 9:30) to align with specific market sessions.
- Dynamic Labels : Show timeframe names, remaining time until the next HTF candle, and interval labels (e.g., day of the week for daily candles) with adjustable positions and sizes.
- Highly Customizable : Fine-tune candle appearance, spacing, padding, and visual elements to suit your trading style.
How It Works
The indicator renders HTF candles as boxes (bodies) and lines (wicks) on the right side of the chart, with each timeframe offset for clarity. It dynamically updates candles in real-time, tracks their highs and lows, and displays sweeps and midpoints when conditions are met. FVGs and volume imbalances are calculated based on candle relationships, and trace lines link HTF candle levels to their originating bars on the chart.
Sweep Logic
- A bearish sweep occurs when the current candle’s high exceeds the previous candle’s high, but the close is below it.
- A bullish sweep occurs when the current candle’s low falls below the previous candle’s low, but the close is above it.
- Sweeps are visualized as horizontal lines and can trigger alerts when confirmed on the next candle.
Midpoint Logic
- A midpoint line is drawn at the average of the previous HTF candle’s high and low, extending until the next HTF candle forms.
- Useful for identifying potential support/resistance or mean reversion levels.
Imbalance Detection
- FVGs : Identified when a candle’s low is above the next-but-one candle’s high (or vice versa), indicating a price gap.
- Volume Imbalances : Detected between adjacent candles where the body of one candle doesn’t overlap with the next, signaling potential liquidity zones.

Consecutive CandlesSummary
This indicator helps visualize short-term momentum by automatically drawing boxes around sequences of consecutive same-colored candles (bullish or bearish). It's designed to quickly highlight periods of sustained buying or selling pressure directly on your chart.
How it Works
Consecutive Candle Detection: The script monitors the chart bar by bar, tracking consecutive candles where close > open (bullish) or close < open (bearish).
Box Drawing: When a sequence of same-colored candles reaches a user-defined minimum length (default is 3) and this sequence is then broken by an opposite-colored candle or a doji, a box is drawn.
Box Boundaries:
The top of the box is set to the highest high price reached during the sequence.
The bottom of the box is set to the lowest low price reached during the sequence.
The left edge of the box aligns with the start time of the first candle in the sequence.
The right edge of the box aligns with the end time of the last candle in the sequence.
Stability: Uses xloc = xloc.bar_time to ensure boxes remain accurately anchored to the price bars when zooming or panning the chart.
Real-time Extension: For active sequences meeting the minimum length on the latest developing bar, the box is optionally extended to the right.
Features
Automatically identifies and boxes sequences of 3 or more (customizable) consecutive bullish candles.
Automatically identifies and boxes sequences of 3 or more (customizable) consecutive bearish candles.
Extends box in real-time for active qualifying sequences.
Customizable minimum candle count (>= 2).
Customizable colors for bullish/bearish boxes and borders.
Settings
You can customize the indicator via the Settings menu (gear icon):
Minimum Consecutive Candles: Define how many candles in a row are needed to draw a box (Default: 3).
Bullish Box Color: Set the fill color for boxes around bullish sequences.
Bearish Box Color: Set the fill color for boxes around bearish sequences.
Box Border Color: Set the color for the border of all boxes.
Potential Use Cases
Momentum Identification: Quickly spot periods of strong, uninterrupted buying or selling.
Exhaustion/Reversal Signals: Very long sequences might indicate potential exhaustion, setting up reversal opportunities.
Consolidation Breakouts: A box forming after a period of tight consolidation can highlight the range just before a potential breakout.
Confirmation: Use the boxes as confirmation for entries or exits based on momentum shifts.
Disclaimer: This indicator provides visual aids based on price action. It should not be used as a standalone trading system. Always use indicators in conjunction with your own analysis and risk management rules.

Volume Width Based Candles
Overview
This indicator reimagines traditional candlestick charts by adjusting the horizontal width of each candle based on the bar’s trading volume. In other words, candles with higher volume appear wider, while those with lower volume are drawn narrower. This extra visual dimension can help traders quickly identify bars with significant volume relative to a defined lookback period.
Key Components
Volume Normalization:
The script calculates the highest volume over a user-defined lookback period (default is 100 bars).
Each bar’s volume is then normalized by dividing it by this maximum value. The result is a value between 0 and 1 that represents how the current volume compares to the maximum over the lookback.
Variable Candle Width Calculation:
A base multiplier (default set to 0.4) is used to control how much the volume influences the candle width.
The normalized volume is multiplied by this multiplier to compute an offset value.
Instead of using timestamps (which could lead to drawing objects too far into the future), the script uses the bar_index (the sequential index of bars) to determine the left and right positions of each candle.
The left and right x–positions are calculated by subtracting and adding the offset from the current bar index, respectively.
Candle Body & Wick Drawing:
Candle Body:
The body is drawn using box.new as a rectangle.
The top and bottom of the box are determined by the higher and lower values of the open and close prices.
The color of the candle is set based on whether the bar is bullish (green) or bearish (red).
Wicks:
The upper wick is drawn from the high of the bar down to the top of the body.
The lower wick is drawn from the low up to the bottom of the body.
These are created using line.new at the current bar index.
Handling Edge Cases:
The indicator includes conditions to avoid drawing errors on the very first bar (or any bar where prior data is unavailable).
It also converts the calculated x–coordinates (which are derived from the bar index plus a floating point offset) to integers since box.new requires integer values for positioning.
What It Tells the Trader
Volume Visualization:
Wider candles indicate bars where trading volume is high relative to recent history, potentially highlighting periods of increased market activity.
Narrower candles suggest lower volume, which can signal less interest or participation during that bar.
Contextual Price Action:
By integrating volume into the visual representation of each candle, traders get an immediate sense of the strength behind price movements.
This can be particularly useful for spotting potential breakouts, reversals, or confirming trends when analyzed alongside traditional price-based indicators.
Customization Options
Volume Lookback Period:
You can adjust the number of bars considered when determining the maximum volume. A shorter period may be more responsive to recent changes, while a longer period provides a broader context.
Base Width Multiplier:
Adjusting this multiplier changes how pronounced the effect of volume is on the candle’s width. Increasing it will make high-volume candles even wider, and decreasing it will reduce the difference between high and low volume candles.
Final Thoughts
This indicator is a creative way to overlay volume information directly onto the price chart without the need for separate volume bars. It provides an at-a-glance understanding of market activity and can be a valuable addition to a trader’s toolkit, especially for those who prefer visual cues integrated with price action. However, due to limitations (like the maximum number of drawn boxes), it’s best used on charts with a moderate amount of historical data or with appropriate adjustments to manage performance.
Volatility-Driven CandleThis indicator identifies and highlights "volatility-driven candles" on a price chart, based on their body size relative to market volatility. It calculates the Average True Range (ATR) over a 14-period window to measure volatility. A candle is considered "volatility-driven" if its body (the difference between the close and open prices) exceeds a user-defined threshold, which is specified as a multiple of the ATR.
The script distinguishes between bullish and bearish volatility-driven candles:
Bullish volatility-driven candles (where the close is greater than the open) are marked with a blue label.
Bearish volatility-driven candles (where the close is less than the open) are marked with an orange label.
Additionally, the background color of the chart is shaded:
Blue for bullish volatility-driven candles.
Orange for bearish volatility-driven candles.
This script helps traders easily spot significant price movements relative to volatility, highlighting potential reversal points based on candle body size.

Engulfing Candlestick StrategyEver wondered whether the Bullish or Bearish Engulfing pattern works or has statistical significance? This script is for you. It works across all markets and timeframes.
The Engulfing Candlestick Pattern is a widely used technical analysis pattern that traders use to predict potential price reversals. It consists of two candles: a small candle followed by a larger one that "engulfs" the previous candle. This pattern is considered bullish when it occurs in a downtrend (bullish engulfing) and bearish when it occurs in an uptrend (bearish engulfing).
Statistical Significance of the Engulfing Pattern:
While many traders rely on candlestick patterns for making decisions, research on the statistical significance of these patterns has produced mixed results. A study by Dimitrios K. Koutoupis and K. M. Koutoupis (2014), titled "Testing the Effectiveness of Candlestick Chart Patterns in Forex Markets," indicates that candlestick patterns, including the engulfing pattern, can provide some predictive power, but their success largely depends on the market conditions and timeframe used. The researchers concluded that while some candlestick patterns can be useful, traders must combine them with other indicators or market knowledge to improve their predictive accuracy.
Another study by Brock, Lakonishok, and LeBaron (1992), "Simple Technical Trading Rules and the Stochastic Properties of Stock Returns," explores the profitability of technical indicators, including candlestick patterns, and finds that simple trading rules, such as those based on moving averages or candlestick patterns, can occasionally outperform a random walk in certain market conditions.
However, Jorion (1997), in his work "The Risk of Speculation: The Case of Technical Analysis," warns that the reliability of candlestick patterns, including the engulfing patterns, can vary significantly across different markets and periods. Therefore, it's important to use these patterns as part of a broader trading strategy that includes other risk management techniques and technical indicators.
Application Across Markets:
This script applies to all markets (e.g., stocks, commodities, forex) and timeframes, making it a versatile tool for traders seeking to explore the statistical effectiveness of the bullish and bearish engulfing patterns in their own trading.
Conclusion:
This script allows you to backtest and visualize the effectiveness of the Bullish and Bearish Engulfing patterns across any market and timeframe. While the statistical significance of these patterns may vary, the script provides a clear framework for evaluating their performance in real-time trading conditions. Always remember to combine such patterns with other risk management strategies and indicators to enhance their predictive power.
TechniTrend: Advance Custom Candle Finder (CCF)🟦 Description:
The TechniTrend: Advanced Custom Candle Finder (CCF) is a versatile tool designed to help traders identify custom candlestick patterns using various configurable criteria. This indicator provides a flexible framework to filter and highlight specific candles based on volume, volatility, candle characteristics, and other important metrics. Below is a detailed explanation of each filter and its customization options:
🟦 Volume-Based Filters
🔸Volume Spike Filter:
Enable filtering based on volume spikes. Use the Volume Spike Multiplier to define what constitutes a significant increase in volume compared to the average. A spike indicates unusually high trading interest.
🔸Volume Range Filter:
Filter candles based on specific volume ranges. Set Minimum Volume and Maximum Volume thresholds to isolate candles with trading volumes within your desired boundaries.
🟦 Candle Body & Wick Filters
🔸Body Size Filter:
Filter candles based on the size of their body. A Body Size Multiplier determines what is considered a large body relative to historical averages.
🔸Body Percentage Filter:
Filter based on the proportion of the body to the entire candle size. Use the Body Percentage Threshold to highlight candles where the body makes up a certain percentage of the total candle range.
🔸Wick-to-Body Ratio Filter:
Identify candles with specific wick-to-body ratios. A higher Wick-to-Body Ratio can indicate indecision or reversals.
🟦 Volatility & Range Filters
🔸Volatility Filter:
Highlight candles based on price changes relative to volume. The Volatility Multiplier sets the threshold for what is considered a volatile candle.
🔸Candle Range Filter:
Filter based on the range (High - Low) of each candle. Use Minimum Candle Range and Maximum Candle Range to specify your desired candle size in points or pips.
🔸Short-Term and Long-Term Volatility Filters:
Analyze volatility over different periods. Enable Short-Term Volatility or Long-Term Volatility filters to compare recent volatility against historical averages, helping you detect sudden market shifts.
🟦 Candle Color & Open/Close Filters
🔸Candle Color Filter:
Filter based on the candle's color. Choose between Bullish (close > open) or Bearish (close < open) to focus on specific market sentiments.
🔸Open/Close Price Range Filter:
Filter based on the difference between the open and close prices. Use Minimum Open/Close Range and Maximum Open/Close Range to specify your acceptable range in price movements.
🟦 Core Functionality
The CCF indicator combines these filters to provide a final signal whenever a candle meets all the enabled criteria. By default, it highlights any qualifying candle directly on the chart and changes the background color for added visibility.
🟦 Key Features:
🔸Highly Customizable Filters: Adjust the parameters for each filter to tailor the indicator to your specific needs.
🔸Multiple Conditions: Combine several conditions to identify complex candlestick patterns.
🔸Real-Time Alerts: Receive instant notifications when a matching candle pattern is found based on your custom criteria.
🟦 How to Use:
🔸Enable the filters you wish to apply (e.g., Volume Spike, Candle Body Size, Volatility).
🔸Adjust the thresholds for each filter to fine-tune the pattern recognition criteria.
🔸Observe the chart to see visual cues for candles that match your specified conditions.
🟦 Notes:
🔸Ensure that you clearly understand each filter’s role. Over-filtering with very strict criteria may reduce the number of signals.
🔸This indicator is designed to be a customizable tool, not providing buy or sell recommendations.
🔸Use in combination with other analysis tools and indicators for the best results.
