Oscillator CandlesticksI've always wondered why we don't use candlesticks for oscillators...then I stopped wondering and made an oscillator with candlesticks.
The following oscillators are available as a proof of concept:
* Consumer Channel Index (CCI)
* Rate of Change (ROC)
* Relative Strength Index (RSI)
* Trend Strength Index (TSI)
You can add a moving average to the ohlc4 value of the oscillator and choose the type of the moving average and whether it should be influenced by volume.

High Volume Candles - RVolInspired by Key bars from Option Stalker Pro.
This one is meant to be used on charts where the interval is >=1D.
Highlights candles where RVol is > 1.2.
Helps to not accidentally miss that a candle move happened on high volume (or that it did not happen on high volume...), like potential reversals or resistance/support breaks.
Make sure to move this indicator above the ticker in the Object Tree, so that it is drawn on top of the ticker's candles.

High Volume Candles by Time PeriodDescription:
The High Volume Candles indicator (HVC) is a technical analysis tool designed to identify candles with high trading volume. It allows traders to quickly spot periods of significant market activity based on volume.
How it Works:
The HVC indicator analyzes the volume of each candle in relation to the highest volume observed over a specified lookback period. The indicator compares the current volume with the highest volume within the defined lookback period and identifies candles that have volume equal to or greater than this threshold. It then distinguishes between bullish and bearish candles and assigns custom colors to highlight these high volume occurrences.
Usage:
To effectively utilize the High Volume Candles indicator, follow these steps:
1. Apply the HVC indicator to your chart by adding it from the available indicators.
2. Customize the lookback period according to your trading preferences. This parameter determines the number of previous candles to consider when calculating the highest volume.
3. Observe the candles on the chart:
- Bullish candles (blue by default) indicate periods of high volume when the closing price is higher than the opening price.
- Bearish candles (yellow by default) indicate periods of high volume when the closing price is lower than the opening price.
4. Pay attention to the color-coded volume indications within the candles, which highlight periods of high trading activity.
5. Analyze the volume patterns in conjunction with price action to identify potential trading opportunities. High volume candles often indicate increased market participation and can suggest significant price moves or reversals.
6. Combine the analysis of high volume candles with other technical analysis tools, such as trend lines, support and resistance levels, or indicators, to confirm potential trade setups.
7. Implement appropriate risk management strategies, including setting stop-loss orders and position sizing, to manage your trades effectively and protect your capital.
Uptrend Downtrend Loopback Candle Identification LibThis library is for identifying uptrends and downtrends using a loopback candle analysis method. Which contains two functions:
uptrendLoopbackCandleIdentification() and downtrendLoopbackCandleIdentification() . These functions check if the current candle is part of an uptrend or downtrend, respectively, based on the specified lookback period.
The uptrendLoopbackCandleIdentification() takes two arguments: index , which is the index of the current bar, and lookbackPeriod , which is the number of previous candles to check for an uptrend. The function returns false if the index is less than the lookback period. Otherwise, it initializes a boolean variable isHigherHigh as true and loops through the previous candles. If any of the previous candles have a higher high than the current candle, isHigherHigh is set to false , and the loop breaks. Finally, the function returns the value of isHigherHigh .
The downtrendLoopbackCandleIdentification() takes the same arguments and returns false if the index is less than the lookback period. The function initializes a boolean variable isHigherLow as true and loops through the previous candles. If any of the previous candles have a higher low than the current candle, isHigherLow is set to false , and the loop breaks. The function returns the value of isHigherLow .
Circular Candlestick ChartAn original (but impractical) way to represent a candlestick chart using circles arc.
The most recent candles are further away from the circle origin. Note that OHLC values follow a clockwise direction. A higher arc length would indicate candles with a higher body or wick range.
The Length settings determine the number of past candles to be included in the circular candlestick chart. The Width setting control the width of the circular chart. The Spacing setting controls the space between each arcs. Finally, the Precision settings allow obtaining a more precise representation of candles, with lower values returning more precise results, however, more precision requires a higher amount of lines. Settings are quite hard to adjust, using a higher length might require a lower spacing value.
Additionally, the script includes two pointers indicating the location of the 75 (in blue) and 25 (in orange) percentiles. This allows obtaining an estimate of the current market sentiment, with the most recent arcs laying closer to the 75 percentile pointer indicating an up-trend.
This new way to represent candlesticks might be useful to more easily identify candles clusters or to find new price patterns. Who knows, we know that new ways to see prices always stimulate traders imagination.
See you next year.
Secondary Candle OverlayThis simple script is meant to allow the user to select another symbol to add onto their chart and plot the candlesticks for that symbol at the selected resolution requested.
Please see the tooltip provided by the 'Secondary Symbol' input for more details with regards to properly using this script on symbols that have vastly different valuations, it will help with getting the symbol requested to scale properly with the primary symbol on the chart.
The user may also input which colors are used for bullish/bearish candles as well as the symbol itself and its resolution.
IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS SCRIPT DOES NOT ACCOUNT FOR SYMBOLS THAT ARE NOT CONTINUOUS (The defval for the symbol is TVC:DXY which closes on weekends whereas a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin does not stop trading ever; candles on these kinds of markets will be repeated when overlaid onto markets that do not have this property.)
Centered Candles [racer8]Brief 💜
This indicator allows users to more easily compare candlesticks by centering them along a zero line.
Also, I've added some moving average lines for the highs, lows, and closes for these centered candles.
Enjoy 😉
Countdown & Candle Recap DashboardThis script provides a compact dashboard showing a countdown timer and a recap of the previous candles. Ideal for traders who want to monitor short-term price action and candle behavior across different timeframes.
Features: • Countdown display for current candle • Summary of previous candles (PrevCndl1, PrevCndl2) • TimeFrame Recap section for quick analysis
Designed for scalpers, intraday traders, and anyone who values precision timing and candle structure.
Highlight Candle Body ≤ 10 Ticks (Clean & Subtle)Purpose:
This indicator highlights candlesticks where the body size (difference between open and close) is 10 ticks or less, specifically for instruments like Crude Oil futures (CL) where 1 tick = 0.01.
How it works:
It calculates the body size: abs(close - open)
If the body is ≤ 0.10 (10 ticks), the candle is softly colored in muted orange.
Wicks are ignored — only the body is considered.
No additional shapes or markers — clean and minimal.
Use case:
Helps identify periods of indecision or low momentum — such as potential pause candles, traps, or setups just before volatility returns.
Stochastic RSI Heat Candles OverlayThis script is based on the Stochastic RSI indicator.
Candles are dynamically colored with a customizable RGB shading directly generated from the average Stochastic RSI current value.
By default, colors represent the following status -> green is overgought & red is oversold.
Options:
Shading colors: Choose between Red/Green, Green/Blue, and Blue/Red shadings to represent the SRSI heat.
Invert colors: Switch colors of the selected shading.
Third color: Select a value from 0 to 255 for the third color which does not vary.
Transparency: Select the transparency value.
Overlay style : Choose to color the whole candle, or only borders and wick.
Show candle side: If you choose to fully fill candles with the SRSI heat color , enable this option to plot shapes representing the candles directions.
Candle marks colors: Select bull and bear colors for direction shapes.
Overbought and Oversold situations are also represented by colored shapes at the top of the chart.
Standards Stochastic RSI parameters.
Examples:
Notes:
Do not forget to bring the script to the front of your chart to avoid being covered by default candles.
Next improvements would probably be a better coloring algorithm, however, do not hesitate to suggest any modifications in comments.
Initially, I shared a Stochastic RSI Heat Bollinger Bands indicator which gave me the idea to develop this one, you can find it on my profile.

Bull/Bear CandleThis script will display a small triangle under the latest two candles to indicate whether that candle is bullish or bearish based on the following definition.
A bullish candle closes in the top portion of the trading range of the candle while a bearish candle closes in the bottom portion of the trading range of the candle.
The cutoff is currently set at 65% (you can adjust it) so the close must be outside or equal to 65% of the trading range to be considered bullish or bearish. If less than 65% the triangle will indicate a neutral candle.
Colours are;
green triangle = bullish candle
red triangle = bearish candle
yellow triangle = neutral candle
I hope this helps those using TraderCobb's cradle strategy.
First 30M Candle Rule Ref / 5M EntriesThis strategy highlights and reacts to two key 30-minute candles on the Romanian market schedule — at 10:30 AM and 15:30 or 16:30 (depending on daylight saving time).
It is designed to run on a 5-minute chart, using the 30-minute candles as reference points for potential entries.
When each 30-minute candle closes, the script:
Colors the background during that specific 30-minute period (green for the morning session, red for the afternoon session)
Sends an alert confirming the candle’s closure
Places a symbolic long trade after the 10:30 candle closes and a symbolic short trade after the afternoon candle closes (for backtesting purposes)
This setup allows traders to test or automate strategies that rely on market reactions following key time-based candles, without plotting any extra lines on the chart.
Hilly's 0010110 Reversal Scalping Strategy - 5 Min CandlesKey Features and Rationale:
Timeframe: Restricted to 5-minute candles as requested.
Pattern Integration: Includes single (Hammer, Shooting Star, Doji), two (Engulfing, Harami), and three-plus (Morning Star, Evening Star) candlestick patterns, plus reversal patterns based on RSI extremes.
VWAP Cross: Incorporates bullish (price crosses above VWAP) and bearish (price crosses below VWAP) signals, enhanced by trend context.
Volume Analysis: Uses a volume spike threshold to filter noise, with a simple day-start volume comparison for financial environment context.
Financial Environment: Approximates the day's sentiment using early-hour volume compared to current volume, adjusted by trend.
Aggregation: Scores each condition (e.g., 1 for basic patterns, 2 for strong patterns like Engulfing, 3 for three-candle patterns) and decides based on weighted consensus, with trendStrength as a tunable threshold.
Risky Approach: Minimal filtering and a low trendStrength (default 0.5) allow frequent signals, aligning with your $100-to-$200 goal, but expect higher risk.
Suggested Inputs:
EMA Length: 10 (short enough for 5-minute sensitivity).
VWAP Lookback: 1 (uses current session VWAP).
Volume Threshold Multiplier: 1.2 (moderate spike requirement).
RSI Length: 14 (standard, adjustable to 7 for more sensitivity).
Trend Strength Threshold: 0.5 (balance between signals; lower to 0.4 for more trades, raise to 0.6 for fewer).
VWMA CandlesVWMA Candles – Smarter Candle Coloring with Volume Awareness
This indicator enhances your chart candles by showing their relationship to the Volume-Weighted Moving Average (VWMA). It visually integrates the VWMA and price action, making it easier to spot momentum shifts, value zones, and price interaction with volume-weighted levels. I saw this indicator idea from TrendSpider on threads and decided to try and make my own. This is my first publicly shared script so go easy on me!
IN ORDER FOR THE COLOR CODING TO WORK PROPERLY, YOU MUST:
GO TO -> CHART SETTINGS -> SYMBOLS AND DISABLE BODIES, BORDERS, AND WICKS.
How it works:
The VWMA is plotted on your chart with a customizable band around it.
Candles change color depending on their position relative to the VWMA and its band:
Green → Price is above the VWMA (bullish bias).
Orange → Price is near or touching the VWMA/band (potential reaction zone).
Red → Price is below the VWMA (bearish bias).
You can choose between custom candles (full plotcandle styling) or simply recolor your existing chart candles with barcolor.
Customization options:
Select how the band is calculated: by % of VWMA, ATR multiple, or Ticks/Points.
Adjust colors separately for candle body, wick, and border.
Choose to show/hide the VWMA line and the band fill.
Fine-tune transparency for a clean look on any chart background.
Why traders use it:
Quickly spot when price is stretched away from the VWMA (overextended conditions).
Identify when candles are interacting with the VWMA (potential support/resistance).
Add volume-sensitivity to your trend analysis compared to standard moving averages.
Authors Note: The default settings work well with stocks on the weekly timeframe, although this can be used on any timeframe. The settings are highly adjustable for you to tune it to your liking.

Volume-Based Candle ShadingThe Volume Shading indicator dynamically adjusts the color brightness of each price bar based on relative volume levels. It helps traders quickly identify whether a candle formed on low, average, or high volume without needing to reference a separate volume pane.
Candles are shaded dynamically as they form, so you can watch volume flow into them in real time. This indicator is designed to be as minimally intrusive as possible, allowing you to visualize volume levels without extra clutter on your charts.
The additional volume indicator in the preview above is there just for a point of reference to allow you to see how the shading on the bars correlates to the volume.
⸻
SETTINGS:
Bullish and bearish base colors — These serve as the midpoint (average volume) for shading.
Brightness mapping direction — Optionally invert the shading so that either high volume appears darker or lighter.
Volume smoothing length — Defines how many bars are averaged to determine what constitutes “normal” volume.
Candles with volume above average will appear darker or lighter depending on user preference, while those with average volume will be painted the chosen colors, giving an intuitive gradient that enhances volume awareness directly on the chart.
⸻
USES:
Confirming price action: Highlight when breakout candles or reversal bars occur with high relative volume, strengthening signal conviction.
Spotting low-volume moves: Identify candles that lack volume support, potentially signaling weak continuation or false breakouts.
Enhancing visual analysis: Overlay volume dynamics directly onto price bars, reducing screen clutter and aiding faster decision-making.
Custom visual workflows: Adapt the visual behavior of candles to your trading style by choosing color direction and base tones.

Stochastic CandlesIn this indicator I have transformed the %K line into adjustable candles. Because of this I have increased the length of the %D line to be more useful in this context. It is worth noting that you get the same momentum indication as %D set to 4 just because of the default candle transform setting. Incase you need to brush up on how stoch works here is the built in summery.
The Stochastic Oscillator (STOCH) is a range bound momentum oscillator. The Stochastic indicator is designed to display the location of the close compared to the high/low range over a user defined number of periods. Typically, the Stochastic Oscillator is used for three things; Identifying overbought and oversold levels, spotting divergences and also identifying bull and bear set ups or signals.
3 or more consecutive candles
This indicator Colors in candles if there are 3 or more consecutive bearish or bullish candles.
If you are familiar with the BTMM/Stacey Burke Trading concept of expecting a stop hunt after 3 cycles of rise/fall this indicator may be useful to you.
I'm new to coding/making indicators so the code may not be as polished so please bare with me, I am in the process of learning :)
Eventually I'll make it so that you can edit the minimum and maximum number of candles needed for it to be colored, but it may take a long time lol.
