CFB-Adaptive Trend Cipher Candles [Loxx]CFB-Adaptive Trend Cipher Candles is a candle coloring indicator that shows both trend and trend exhaustion using Composite Fractal Behavior price trend analysis. To do this, we first calculate the dynamic period outputs from the CFB algorithm and then we injection those period inputs into a correlation function that correlates price input price to the candle index. The closer the correlation is to 1, the lighter the green color until the color turns yellow, sometimes, indicating upward price exhaustion. The closer the correlation is to -1, the lighter the red color until it reaches Fuchsia color indicating downward price exhaustion. Green means uptrend, red means downtrend, yellow means reversal from uptrend to downtrend, fuchsia means reversal from downtrend to uptrend.
What is Composite Fractal Behavior ( CFB )?
All around you mechanisms adjust themselves to their environment. From simple thermostats that react to air temperature to computer chips in modern cars that respond to changes in engine temperature, r.p.m.'s, torque, and throttle position. It was only a matter of time before fast desktop computers applied the mathematics of self-adjustment to systems that trade the financial markets.
Unlike basic systems with fixed formulas, an adaptive system adjusts its own equations. For example, start with a basic channel breakout system that uses the highest closing price of the last N bars as a threshold for detecting breakouts on the up side. An adaptive and improved version of this system would adjust N according to market conditions, such as momentum, price volatility or acceleration.
Since many systems are based directly or indirectly on cycles, another useful measure of market condition is the periodic length of a price chart's dominant cycle, (DC), that cycle with the greatest influence on price action.
The utility of this new DC measure was noted by author Murray Ruggiero in the January '96 issue of Futures Magazine. In it. Mr. Ruggiero used it to adaptive adjust the value of N in a channel breakout system. He then simulated trading 15 years of D-Mark futures in order to compare its performance to a similar system that had a fixed optimal value of N. The adaptive version produced 20% more profit!
This DC index utilized the popular MESA algorithm (a formulation by John Ehlers adapted from Burg's maximum entropy algorithm, MEM). Unfortunately, the DC approach is problematic when the market has no real dominant cycle momentum, because the mathematics will produce a value whether or not one actually exists! Therefore, we developed a proprietary indicator that does not presuppose the presence of market cycles. It's called CFB (Composite Fractal Behavior) and it works well whether or not the market is cyclic.
CFB examines price action for a particular fractal pattern, categorizes them by size, and then outputs a composite fractal size index. This index is smooth, timely and accurate
Essentially, CFB reveals the length of the market's trending action time frame. Long trending activity produces a large CFB index and short choppy action produces a small index value. Investors have found many applications for CFB which involve scaling other existing technical indicators adaptively, on a bar-to-bar basis.

Magic CandleThis indicator is very simple, but surprisingly effective, and I haven't found any mention of something similar, so here it is. I hope it helps you in your stock trading.
Someone made a comment in a trading room that the 8 am candle of the stock looked odd, so I quickly checked all the other stocks I had on my screen, and for all of them, the 8 am candle was just a little strange. What's more, is that the stock would often respond to the high and low values of that 8 am candle later on in the day. It turned out to be quite an important support and resistance level indicator for stocks which I've used in my trading ever since I discovered it.
After testing it out day after day on multiple stocks, I decided to write this indicator, which not only projects the high and low values of the 8 am candle, but also the previous day's closing price.
If you find that there's another "magic candle" out there for Forex or Crypto, please let me know!
You have the option to set the "magic candle" to another time, if you want to experiment with things.
Inside Candle - Multi TimeframesIndicator looks for inside candle on 3 timeframes. Chart's default timeframe and 2 higher timeframes to spot Inside candle on any of these timeframes.
Main purpose was to look at multiple inside candle at multiple timeframes to identify consolidation within consolidation and implement intraday, hence for 15min chart timeframe.
However, code works for all timeframes from 5 min to quarterly and higher timeframes will be picked automatically.

Custom Candle Body Color and EMA Crossover IndicatorWe determine if the price is below EMA 9 by comparing the close price with EMA 9.
We determine if the current candle body is huge compared to the previous candle's body.
We plot EMA 9 in black color and EMA 200 in green color.
We plot blue triangles below the bars for EMA crossover above and red triangles above the bars for EMA crossover below.
We set the color of the candle body to red if the price is below EMA 9 and to green if the price is above EMA 9, only when the current candle body is huge compared to the previous candle's body.

Williams Vix Fix OHLC candles plot indicator (Tartigradia)OHLC candles plot of the Williams VixFix indicator, which allows to draw trend lines.
Williams VixFix is a realized volatility indicator developed by Larry Williams, and can help in finding market bottoms.
Indeed, as Williams describe in his paper, markets tend to find the lowest prices during times of highest volatility, which usually accompany times of highest fear. The VixFix is calculated as how much the current low price statistically deviates from the maximum within a given look-back period.
The Williams VixFix indicator is usually presented as a curve or histogram. The novelty of this indicator is to present the data as a OHLC candles plot: whereas the original Williams VixFix calculation only involves the close value, we here use the open, high and low values as well. This led to some mathematical challenges because some of these calculations led to absurd values, so workarounds had to be found, but in the end I think the result was worth it, it reproduces the VIX chart quite well.
A great additional value of the OHLC chart is that it shows not just the close value, but all the values during the session: open, high and low in addition to close. This allows to draw trend lines and can provide additional information on momentum and sentiment. In addition, other indicators can be used on it, as if it was a price chart, such as RSI indicators (see RSI+ (alt) indicator for example).

This indicator includes only the Williams VixFix as an OHLC candles or bars plot, and price / vixfix candles plot, as well as the typical vixfix histogram. Indeed, it is much more practical for unbounded range indicators to be plotted in their own separate panel, hence why this indicator is released separately, so that it can work and be scaled adequately out of the box.
Note that the there are however no bottom buy signals. For a more complete indicator, which also includes the OHLC candles plots present here, but also bottom signals and Inverse VixFix (top signals), see:
Set Index symbol to SPX, and index_current = false, and timeframe Weekly, to reproduce the original VIX as close as possible by the VIXFIX (use the Add Symbol option, because you want to plot CBOE:VIX on the same timeframe as the current chart, which may include extended session / weekends). With the Weekly timeframe, off days / extended session days should not change much, but with lower timeframes this is important, because nights and weekends can change how the graph appears and seemingly make them different because of timing misalignment when in reality they are not when properly aligned.

HTF Candle Boxes for LTF Charts
This indicator allows you to show an outline of a Higher Time Frame (HTF) candle on a Lower Time Frame (LTF) chart. Options include selecting the HTF interval, and an option to either show a single shaded Box for the candle (High to Low), or a shaded box for the body (Open to Close) with the High to Low shown in an unshaded box. The purpose is to easily visualise what the previous HTF candles look like as you are working on the lower charts, for example was yesterday's candle Bullish, Bearsish, indecision, a Doji etc.
Fusion: Big Arty CandlesAnyone who follows Arty knows about his "Big A** Candle" strategies.
I didn't like the BAC indicators that had code available so I wrote this one that has some decent flexibility and display options.
You can use this to enter a trade immediately after a BAC, probably in the opposite direction and ride the pullback that usually occurs or just use it to avoid trading until things settle down. I use it to avoid trading for a few bars on the 15 minute timeframe on bitcoin.
The settings are certainly not optimized so set them to whatever suits your needs as the defaults will probably be wrong for you.
The code is structured to easily drop into a bigger system so use it as a lone indicator or add the code to some bigger project you are creating. If you do integrate it into something else then send me a note as it would be nice to know it's being well used.
Finally, if you find value please do make a comment, give a thumbs up etc.
Enjoy and good luck!
Fear and Greed Index CandlesticksThis colours the candlesticks based on my 'Fear and Greed Index'.
All calculations are explained in the code.
The index is mainly based upon the components of the popular fear and greed index website. I've annotated the components in the code for you to look at.
If you're interested, you can replace the final variable 'Total' (within the 'barcolor' function at the very end) with any of the final outputs of the subcomponents to see the results of that single part.
Red = Greed
Green = Fear
Enjoy!

Visual Candlestick Blender (Analysis Tool), by @BlueJayBird- This is a analysis tool.
Brief Description
- It generates candlestick containers for current timeframe, using OPEN/HIGH/CLOSE/LOW data from higher time frames.
- Current version supports up to 4 CVB at the same time. Usually using only 2 is enough.
- Vertical extended divisions for 1h, 4h, 1D and 1W using background lines are included too.
* Report any bugs or feedback you have.
NOTE. At current unclosed candlestick , some weird line painting it is expected. It is not a bug, it is a Trading View feature that I haven't been able to solve yet. To solve this, setting the VCB off and then on should be enough.
EMA CandlesIndicator that draws EMA candles as overlay. Uses the EMA values for Open, Close, High, and Low each individually to draw each EMA candle. Set at 30 bar EMA by default.
Consecutive Candle Count Momentum StrategyVery simple strategy based on consecutive candle count. Simple but can be very profitable if you know how to execute.
Example:
- Buy when consecutive up closes exceeds 3
- Sell when consecutive down closes exceeds 3
For a buy signal, if price closes higher within 5 candles, it is defined as a win.
For a sell signal, if price closes lower within 5 candles, it is defined as a win.
Win rates for buy/sell signals are calculated over history of security.

cooltoyz: shadow candlesAnother tool for the cooltoyz series :)
tired of having to look at multiple time frames for a ticker, and having to mentally mix them to try to guess/visualize trends, or support/resistance levels? so was i, and with this tool i let the chart do the heavy lifting :)
with this, upper time frames are visualized as shadows imposed on the chart itself. there are two levels:
level 1 - represented with strong green/red for candle body, and a thin line for the candle wicks
level 2 - light green/red for the candle body, lighter still for the wicks
it was the best visually appealing representation i could come with, if you find a better one share it in comments, please :)
basically works the same as the previous tool, the ghost candle, but with two levels of time frames superimposed. the same notes and warnings from the ghost candle apply, so go read them, too lazy for a copypasta :)
