TDP 2Title: Enhanced Candlestick Pattern Identifier with Body Ratio Analysis
Description:
This Pine Script, titled "Enhanced Candlestick Pattern Identifier with Body Ratio Analysis," is designed to aid traders in visualizing key candlestick formations that have significant implications for trend reversals and continuations. It uses the body ratio of candles to identify strong directional movements, enhancing decision-making processes in trading strategies.
Key Features:
Body Ratio Calculation: The script calculates the body ratio of each candle, which is the proportion of the candle's body to its total range. This helps in distinguishing between candles that show decisive market movements versus those with indecision.
Bullish Candle Identification: Identifies bullish candles where the close is greater than the open and the body constitutes at least 55% of the total candle range, indicating strong buying pressure.
Bearish Candle Identification: Flags bearish candles where the open is above the close with a body ratio of 55% or more, highlighting strong selling pressure.
Comparative Analysis: The script not only identifies bearish candles but also categorizes them based on whether they close below the lowest point of the last qualifying bullish candle, offering insights into potential breakdowns or supports.
Visual Markers: Uses distinct shapes and colors to mark each type of candle directly on the chart, making it easy to spot these patterns in real-time trading scenarios.
Utility:
This tool is invaluable for traders who utilize technical analysis to make informed decisions. By providing clear visual cues about significant bullish and bearish candlestick formations, the script facilitates quick interpretations of potential market moves, helping traders to capitalize on trends or protect against losses from reversals.
How to Use:
Simply add this script to your chart, and it will automatically highlight the qualifying candles. Green labels indicate strong bullish candles, red labels signify bearish candles closing below the last bullish candle's low, and orange labels show bearish candles that do not close below the bullish low.
Ideal for use in various markets including forex, equities, and commodities, this script is a must-have tool for both novice and experienced traders aiming to enhance their trading strategy with detailed candlestick pattern analysis.
2. [pufferman] - Key Bars with auto halflineThe idea is to identify significantly large candles on high volume. These candles frequently offer significant context to the subsequent candles.
The indicator marks unusually large candles with certain body to wick & tail ratio that has above average volume. These candles are marked bullish and bearish (green or red respectively). It is recommended that these colors are a higher tier than the regular candles to denote significance. See chart for reference. regular candles are blue and yellow while key bars are marked green and red.
the half value of the spread (open and close) of the candle is significant level. you want the half line held in whatever direction your trend is. I.e. if a bullish key bar, you want the price to hold above the half line of the key bar. this is the type of price action you want to see in a trending move. Reverse for bearish key bars.
This indicator work on all time frames and will identify keybars according to he users metrics on all time frames. However, the most two recent daily keybar half line is projected onto all intraday timeframes to allow the user quickly see significant daily levels on the intraday time frames.
The indicator is based on moving average of the atr of the spread of the candle and tail and wick vs spread size ratio to determine unusually large bodied candles. The candle also have to have above average volume. Default average is the 10 session MA.
I use blue and yellow regular candles. and so the keybars are colored red and green. you may need to change this. In case the user uses other candle color overlays, the keybars are also denoted via a purple square below the candle.
X OC StoryOverview
The "X OC Story" is a Pine Script indicator that visualizes the Open-Close range of a higher timeframe (HTF) candle on a lower timeframe chart. By plotting dynamic lines to represent the open and close prices of the previous HTF bar, this tool gives traders a clearer context of recent market sentiment and structural shifts. It includes color-coded visual fills to distinguish between bullish and bearish candles and offers the option to display only the most recent range.
Concept
1. Multi-Timeframe Analysis (MTF)
At its core, this indicator utilizes multi-timeframe analysis by requesting open, high, low, and close values from a user-defined HTF (input.timeframe('60')) and applying them to a lower timeframe chart. This allows traders to incorporate higher timeframe information without switching chart intervals.
2. Timeframe Change Detection
The indicator detects when a new HTF candle begins which lets the script know when to capture and visualize a new set of HTF open-close values.
3. Encapsulation with Custom Type (candles)
The script defines a custom type candles to encapsulate OHLC values of the previous HTF candle. This improves code readability and structure by keeping all relevant HTF data in a single object.
4. Dynamic Line Drawing
When a new HTF candle is detected, two horizontal lines are drawn for Open and Close. These are updated dynamically on each bar to extend across the entire HTF candle range on the lower timeframe chart.
5. Visual Highlighting
a shaded area is drawn between the open and close lines which help highlight market structure without overwhelming the chart.
6. Selective Persistence of Drawings
Users can enable deleteOld to show only the most recent HTF open-close range. When enabled, previously drawn lines are tracked in an array and deleted upon creation of a new range, keeping the chart clean and focused.
How a Trader Might Use This Tool
Contextual Decision-Making
This indicator helps traders see where the market is trading relative to the previous HTF candle:
Trading above the HTF close may suggest bullish continuation
Trading below the HTF open may indicate a bearish reversal or breakdown
Confluence Zones
The open and close lines of HTF candles often act as support/resistance levels. A trader might:
Watch for rejections or breakouts at these levels
Use them in confluence with intraday setups or trend indicators
Scalping or Intraday Strategy Support
Since this visual is drawn on a lower timeframe (like 5m or 15m), it’s particularly useful for scalpers or day traders who want to factor in HTF sentiment without leaving their active chart.
Cleaner Charting
With the optional setting to display only the most recent range (deleteOld), traders avoid clutter and focus on the current actionable zone.
Summary
“X OC Story” is a clean, visual, and effective multi-timeframe utility that helps traders:
Identify HTF open-close context
Highlight possible support/resistance zones
Analyze sentiment and structure visually
It’s an excellent addition to any discretionary trader’s toolkit for improved context awareness and informed entries or exits.
Risk-Based Position Size ProRisk-Based Position Size Indicator
Overview:
The Risk-Based Position Size Indicator helps traders determine the appropriate position size for each trade based on their total capital and risk percentage. This indicator dynamically calculates position size using two different methods:
Wick Range (High - Low): Calculates position size based on the total range of the candlestick.
Candle Body (Close - Open): Calculates position size using only the body of the candlestick, ignoring wicks.
It provides a visual representation of position sizing as a histogram and adjusts dynamically based on price movement.
Key Features:
✅ Two Calculation Modes:
Wick Range (Red Bars) – Uses the entire candlestick range (High - Low).
Candle Body (Blue Bars) – Uses only the difference between Close and Open.
✅ Customizable Risk Settings:
Define Total Capital (default: $100,000).
Set Risk Percentage per trade (default: 1%).
✅ Automatic Position Sizing:
Adjusts position size dynamically for each candlestick.
Prevents division errors when the range is zero.
✅ Rounding Option:
Toggle rounding of position size for better readability.
✅ Clear Visual Representation:
Displayed as a histogram for easy interpretation.
Red bars for Wick Range, Blue bars for Candle Body calculations.
How to Use:
Add the indicator to your TradingView chart.
Set your Total Capital and Risk Percentage in the settings.
Choose a Calculation Method:
Wick Range: Uses High - Low for sizing.
Candle Body: Uses absolute difference of Close - Open.
If desired, enable Round Position Size for easier interpretation.
Observe the histogram bars to see the calculated position size for each candle.
This indicator is useful for risk management, ensuring that position sizes are aligned with account size and market volatility. 🚀
New Features & Fixes:
✅ User can select decimal precision (0 to 5 places) from the settings.
✅ If rounding is enabled, values are rounded based on the chosen precision.
✅ If rounding is disabled, original values are shown without forced rounding.
✅ Wick Range (Red) & Candle Body (Blue) are still plotted together.
Now, you have full control over how many decimal places to display! 🎯
principles of fu### Detailed Description of the Script
#### **Title:**
"**Bullish and Bearish Engulfing with Conditional Rays and Wick Markers**"
#### **Purpose:**
This Pine Script indicator identifies and marks **bullish and bearish engulfing candle patterns** on a price chart. Additionally, it plots **two rays** (lines) for each detected pattern: one at the wick's extremity and another at the midpoint of the wick and the candle body. The indicator manages the display of these rays based on specific conditions, ensuring they remain on the chart until price action invalidates them.
#### **Components and Functionality:**
1. **Inputs and Customization:**
- **Lookback Period:** The script looks back 100 candles to manage and maintain rays on the chart.
- **Ray Colors:**
- `Bullish Ray Color`: Grey (default) for the ray at the low wick of the bullish engulfing candle.
- `Bearish Ray Color`: Grey (default) for the ray at the high wick of the bearish engulfing candle.
- `Bullish Midpoint Ray Color`: Blue (default) for the ray plotted at the midpoint between the body low and the low wick of the bullish engulfing candle.
- `Bearish Midpoint Ray Color`: Orange (default) for the ray plotted at the midpoint between the body high and the high wick of the bearish engulfing candle.
2. **Engulfing Candle Detection:**
- **Bullish Engulfing:**
- Occurs when a previous bearish candle (closing lower than its open) is followed by a candle that closes above the high of the previous candle and has a low equal to or lower than the previous candle's low.
- **Bearish Engulfing:**
- Occurs when a previous bullish candle (closing higher than its open) is followed by a candle that closes below the low of the previous candle and has a high equal to or higher than the previous candle's high.
3. **Ray Plotting:**
- **Wick Rays:**
- For a **bullish engulfing candle**, a ray is plotted at the **low wick** of the bullish candle.
- For a **bearish engulfing candle**, a ray is plotted at the **high wick** of the bearish candle.
- **Midpoint Rays:**
- For a **bullish engulfing candle**, a midpoint ray is plotted at the midpoint between the **body low** (the lower of the open or close) and the **low wick**.
- For a **bearish engulfing candle**, a midpoint ray is plotted at the midpoint between the **body high** (the higher of the open or close) and the **high wick**.
4. **Ray Management and Deletion:**
- **Bullish Rays:**
- The rays (both wick and midpoint) are removed if a subsequent candle's close falls below the **bullish ray** level (low wick of the bullish engulfing candle).
- **Bearish Rays:**
- The rays (both wick and midpoint) are removed if a subsequent candle's close rises above the **bearish ray** level (high wick of the bearish engulfing candle).
5. **Visualization on the Chart:**
- **Bullish Engulfing Signal:**
- A **plus sign** in **dark grey** is plotted below the candle to signify a detected bullish engulfing pattern.
- **Bearish Engulfing Signal:**
- An **X** in **dark grey** is plotted above the candle to signify a detected bearish engulfing pattern.
### **Overall Workflow:**
1. The script detects bullish and bearish engulfing patterns based on specific candle relationships.
2. It then plots rays corresponding to the wicks and midpoints of these engulfing candles.
3. These rays remain on the chart until the price invalidates them, ensuring that only relevant and active levels are displayed to the trader.
This indicator provides traders with a visual tool to identify key reversal patterns (engulfing patterns) and the critical price levels associated with them, which can be useful for making trading decisions.
LLHC/HHLC - Simple ArrowsA simple script for analyzing two types of reversal candles. HHLC and LLHC reversal candles.
HHLC
If a candle has a higher high and a lower close than the previous candle, it is marked with a red HHLC downward pointing arrow.
LLHC
If a candle has a lower low and a higher close than the previous candle, it is marked with a green LLHC upward pointing arrow.
The script's first iteration helps identify candles that MIGHT be reversal candles.
Remember to check:
1. What market cycle the price action for a stock is in.
2. Which reversal you're looking for as a result of that market cycle.
I'm not a pro, so hopefully, the stuff to remember is correct. Please examine the candles to determine if they fit your parameters for a reversal candle.
Shout out to TJ for teaching about these reversal candles! He's a freaking boss!!

Open Lines (Daily/W/M/Q/Yearly)Overview
This script draws horizontal lines based on the opening prices of daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly candles. A unique feature of this script is the ability to overlay lines from previous periods onto the current period. For example, it can draw the opening price line of the current month as well as the line from the previous month. This allows you to observe not only the battle between bullish and bearish candles of the current period but also the battle over whether the current candle engulfs the previous candle.
Settings
1. Common Settings for Daily to Yearly
On: Toggles the line drawing ON/OFF.
Line: Sets how many periods back the line should be drawn from the current period.
Extend: Sets how many periods into the future the lines from past candles should be extended.
Typically, an Extend value of 1 is sufficient, but you can increase this value if you want to observe engulfing patterns spanning multiple periods.
2. Style Settings
To differentiate between the current and past lines, the following settings are available:
Current session line style: Sets the style for the line representing the opening price of the current candle.
Next session line style: Sets the style for the line representing the opening price of past candles.
Available styles are as follows:
sol: solid line
dsh: dashed line
dot: dotted line
3. Other Settings
Allow overlapping of different session lines: By default, this setting prevents overlapping lines when candles from different periods open at the same time. Enabling this option allows lines from different periods, such as quarterly and monthly, to be drawn simultaneously if they overlap. By default, only the lines from the higher time frame are drawn.
Wick Percentages TableThis script is designed to calculate and display the percentage representation of wick lengths in relation to the total candle range for the last 100 candles on a trading chart. Here's a breakdown of its functionality:
Indicator Initialization: It sets up an indicator named "Wick Percentages Table" (WPT) that overlays on the trading chart.
Variables Initialization: The script initializes variables to store the total lengths of top wicks, bottom wicks, and the total ranges for the last 100 candles.
Wick and Range Calculations: For the past 100 candles, it calculates:
The length of the top wick (the distance between the high and the higher of the open or close).
The length of the bottom wick (the distance between the low and the lower of the open or close).
The total range of each candle (the distance between the high and the low).
Percentage Calculations: It computes the top and bottom wick lengths as percentages of the total candle range across the last 100 candles.
Table Display: It creates or updates a table displayed on the top right of the chart showing these percentages. The table has two rows: one for the "Top Wick %" and another for the "Bottom Wick %", with the corresponding percentages calculated and displayed.
Visibility Maintenance: It plots a dummy variable to ensure the indicator's visibility on the chart.
The purpose of this script is to provide traders with a visual representation of the wick lengths as percentages, offering insights into market behavior and potential price movements based on recent candlestick patterns. It aids in assessing market volatility and trader sentiment through the analysis of wick lengths relative to the total candle sizes.

Any improvements to this code would be more then welcome.
I was getting an error in line 30, the only thing I could find was to comment it out.
Sunil 2 Bar Breakout StrategyDetailed Explanation of the Sunil 2 Bar Breakout Strategy
Introduction
The Sunil 2 Bar Breakout Strategy is a simple yet effective price-action-based approach designed to identify breakout opportunities in financial markets. This strategy analyzes the movement of the last three candles to detect momentum and initiates trades in the direction of the breakout. It is equipped with a built-in stop-loss mechanism to protect capital, making it suitable for traders looking for a structured and disciplined trading system.
The strategy works well across different timeframes and asset classes, including indices, stocks, forex, and cryptocurrencies. Its versatility makes it ideal for both intraday and swing trading.
Core Concept
The strategy revolves around two primary conditions: breakout identification and risk management.
Breakout Identification:
Long Trade Setup: The strategy identifies bullish breakouts when:
The current candle's closing price is higher than the previous candle's closing price.
The high of the previous candle is greater than the highs of the two candles before it.
Short Trade Setup: The strategy identifies bearish breakouts when:
The current candle's closing price is lower than the previous candle's closing price.
The low of the previous candle is lower than the lows of the two candles before it.
Risk Management:
Stop-Loss: For each trade, a stop-loss is automatically set:
For long trades, the stop-loss is set to the low of the previous candle.
For short trades, the stop-loss is set to the high of the previous candle.
This ensures that losses are minimized if the breakout fails.
Exit Logic:
The trade is closed automatically when the stop-loss is hit.
This approach maintains discipline and prevents emotional trading.
Strategy Workflow
Entry Criteria:
Long Entry: A long trade is triggered when:
The current close is greater than the previous close.
The high of the previous candle exceeds the highs of the two candles before it.
Short Entry: A short trade is triggered when:
The current close is less than the previous close.
The low of the previous candle is below the lows of the two candles before it.
Stop-Loss Placement:
For long trades, the stop-loss is set at the low of the previous candle.
For short trades, the stop-loss is set at the high of the previous candle.
Trade Management:
Trades are exited automatically if the stop-loss level is hit.
The strategy avoids re-entering trades until new breakout conditions are met.
Default Settings
Position Sizing:
The default position size is set to 1% of the account equity. This ensures proper risk management and prevents overexposure to the market.
Stop-Loss:
Stop-loss levels are automatically calculated based on the previous candle’s high or low.
Timeframes:
The strategy is versatile and works across multiple timeframes. However, it is recommended to test it on 15-minute, 1-hour, and daily charts for optimal performance.
Key Features
Automated Trade Execution:
The strategy handles both trade entry and exit automatically based on pre-defined conditions.
Built-In Risk Management:
The automatic stop-loss placement ensures losses are minimized on failed breakouts.
Works Across Markets:
The strategy is compatible with a wide range of instruments, including indices, stocks, forex, and cryptocurrencies.
Clear Signals:
Entry and exit points are straightforward and based on objective conditions, reducing ambiguity.
Versatility:
Can be used for both day trading and swing trading, depending on the chosen timeframe.
Best Practices for Using This Strategy
Backtesting:
Test the strategy on your chosen instrument and timeframe using TradingView's Strategy Tester to evaluate its performance.
Market Conditions:
The strategy performs best in trending markets or during periods of high volatility. Avoid using it in range-bound or choppy markets.
Position Sizing:
Use the default position size (1% of equity) or adjust based on your risk tolerance and account size.
Instrument Selection:
Focus on instruments with good liquidity and volatility, such as indices (e.g., NIFTY, BANKNIFTY), forex pairs, or major cryptocurrencies (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum).
Potential Enhancements
To make the strategy even more robust, consider adding the following optional features:
Stop-Loss Multiplier:
Allow users to customize the stop-loss distance as a multiple of the default level (e.g., 1.5x the low or high of the previous candle).
Take-Profit Levels:
Add user-defined take-profit levels, such as a fixed risk-reward ratio (e.g., 1:2).
Time Filter:
Include an option to restrict trading to specific market hours (e.g., avoid low-liquidity times).
Conclusion
The Sunil 2 Bar Breakout Strategy is an excellent tool for traders looking to capitalize on breakout opportunities while maintaining disciplined risk management. Its simplicity, combined with its effectiveness, makes it suitable for traders of all experience levels. By adhering to the clearly defined rules, traders can achieve consistent results while avoiding emotional trading decisions.
This strategy is a reliable addition to any trader’s toolbox and is designed to work seamlessly across different market conditions and instruments.
Marubozu SignalsThis Pine Script code is designed to identify and plot Marubozu candlestick patterns on a trading chart. Marubozu candles are characterized by having very small or non-existent wicks (shadows) and a large body, indicating strong buying or selling pressure.
The script first calculates the body size and wick size for both red (bearish) and green (bullish) Marubozu candles. It then defines thresholds for both body and wick sizes based on a percentage of the body size. For example, a red Marubozu candle is identified if its body size is at least 90% of the calculated threshold, and both upper and lower wick sizes are smaller than 5% of the body size.
Similarly, green Marubozu candles are identified using the same logic. If a Marubozu candle of either color is detected, a corresponding label is plotted on the chart indicating the occurrence of the pattern. A "Sell" label is placed above the candle for red Marubozu patterns, while a "Buy" label is placed below the candle for green Marubozu patterns.
This script provides visual cues to traders, helping them quickly identify potential buying or selling opportunities based on Marubozu candlestick patterns. Traders can use these signals as part of their technical analysis to make informed trading decisions.
