Fractal-Dimension-Index-Adaptive Trend Cipher Candles [Loxx]Fractal-Dimension-Index-Adaptive Trend Cipher Candles is a candle coloring indicator that shows both trend and trend exhaustion using Fractal Dimension Index Adaptivity. To do this, we first calculate the dynamic period outputs from the FDI 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 the Fractal Dimension Index?
The goal of the fractal dimension index is to determine whether the market is trending or in a trading range. It does not measure the direction of the trend. A value less than 1.5 indicates that the price series is persistent or that the market is trending. Lower values of the FDI indicate a stronger trend. A value greater than 1.5 indicates that the market is in a trading range and is acting in a more random fashion.

Simple Candle Info This script shows the following simple information about the last candle:
- Candle size
- Body size included %
- Top Wick size
- Bottom Wick size
- Top Wick + Body size
- Bottom Wick + Body size
You can change:
- colors and position for labels
- add information for previous candle too
- change language
Range Candles - JDThis tool takes a "RANGE" chart and transforms it into "NORMAL" or "HEIKEN-ASHI" candles.
Instantly giving you a much better visual interpretation of the "range" information!!!
NOTE: due to the nature of Pinescript and how range charts are constructed it's possible the candles are not formed on every tick!!!
When formed though, they don't repaint and are calculated differently for every bar so you get approximately the most accurate view at the price action that Tradingview can offer you!
For compasrison:
this is a view of the "1 minute" chart:
this is the normal "1 range" chart without the candles
this is the same "1 range" chart with Heiken-Ashi candles
this is the normal "1000 range" chart (+/- equal to the 1 minute) without the candles
this is the same "1000 range" chart with Heiken-Ashi candles
JD.

Volume Strength Candles / Colored BarsIs Price Action Higher or Lower on STRONG or WEAK VOLUME from lookback
(Strong or Weak Bulls // Strong or Weak Bears)
Candles / Bars Indicate the Following (default 13 period lookback / Length)
MAROON Bear Candle with STRONG VOLUME more than 150% of the lookback / length (13 default), STRONG Bear Candle Confirmed With Volume
RED Bear Candle while VOLUME is BETWEEN 50% & 150% of the Lookback / Length (13 default), Neutral Bear Volume Neither strong or weak
ORANGE Bear Candle with WEAK VOLUME (Less than 50% of the Length / Lookback)
DARK GREEN Bull Candle with STRONG VOLUME MORE than 150% of lookback
GREEN Bull Candle with Neutral VOLUME BETWEEN 50% & 150% of the lookback / Length
AQUA Bull Candle with WEAK VOLUME less than 50% of the Lookback
Is price confirmed by volume?
Can Change the Lookback / Length from 13
Can Change the Colors and Transparency to easily see based off your chart background colors I recommend ZERO Transparency to easily identify volume strength (i use white background but many use black or other)

5. Trading Strategies {#strategies}Strategy 1: Trend Reversal TradingEntry Signals:
Buy: When counter changes from negative to +1
Sell: When counter changes from positive to -1
Confirmation:
Wait for +2 or -2 to confirm trend strength
Use additional indicators (RSI, MACD) for validation
Example:Candle: -5, -6, -7, -8, +1, +2 ← BUY HERE
Stop Loss: Below the -8 candle low
Target: When counter reaches +8 to +10
Strategy 2: Trend Continuation TradingEntry Signals:
Buy: Enter on pullbacks during uptrend (e.g., at +3, +5, +7)
Sell: Enter on bounces during downtrend (e.g., at -3, -5, -7)
Risk Management:
Avoid entering at high numbers (+15, -15) - trend may be exhausted
Example:Candle: +1, +2, +3 ← Small pullback, BUY
Continue: +4, +5, +6, +7
Exit: When counter resets to -1
Strategy 3: Trend Exhaustion DetectionWarning Signs:
Counter reaches +10 or higher → Uptrend may be overextended
Counter reaches -10 or lower → Downtrend may be overextended
Action:
Tighten stop losses
Take partial profits
Watch for reversal patterns (doji, engulfing)
Strategy 4: Multi-Timeframe AnalysisSetup:
Add indicator to 3 timeframes (e.g., 15m, 1h, 4h)
Look for alignment
Best Trades:15m: +1 (new uptrend)
1h: +5 (established uptrend)
4h: +3 (strong uptrend)
→ HIGH PROBABILITY BUY
6. Setting Up Alerts {#alerts}Built-in Alert Conditions:The script includes 2 automatic alerts:
"Uptrend Started" - Triggers when counter = +1
"Downtrend Started" - Triggers when counter = -1
How to Set Up Alerts:Step 1: Right-click on chart
Select "Add Alert"
Step 2: Configure Alert
Condition: Select "Trend Candle Counter"
Choose: "Uptrend Started" or "Downtrend Started"
Options:
Once per bar close (recommended)
Webhook URL (for automation)
Step 3: Notification Settings
✅ Popup
✅ Send email
✅ Push notification (mobile app)
✅ Play sound
Step 4: Create Alert
Click "Create"
Custom Alert Ideas:Alert for Specific Candle Numbers:
Notify when counter reaches +5 or -5
Notify when counter exceeds +10 or -10 (exhaustion)
7. Troubleshooting {#troubleshooting}Common Issues & Solutions:Issue 1: Labels are too cluttered
Solution:
Disable "Show Candle Numbers" in settings
Use larger timeframe
Reduce label size to "tiny"
Issue 2: Too many false signals
Solution:
Increase "Trend Detection Length" (e.g., 20, 50)
Wait for +2 or -2 confirmation
Combine with other indicators
Issue 3: Trend line doesn't match price action
Solution:
Adjust EMA length to match your trading style
Consider using different trend detection (SMA, HMA)
Issue 4: Indicator not showing on chart
Solution:
Check if it's in a separate pane - move to main chart
Refresh the page
Re-add the indicator
Issue 5: Counter seems delayed
Solution:
This is normal - indicator confirms on candle close
For faster signals, use lower timeframe
Reduce EMA length (but expect more noise)
8. Advanced Tips 💡Combining with Other Indicators:Best Combinations:
RSI + Trend Candle Counter
Buy at +1 when RSI > 50
Sell at -1 when RSI < 50
MACD + Trend Candle Counter
Confirm +1 with MACD bullish crossover
Confirm -1 with MACD bearish crossover
Volume + Trend Candle Counter
Strong trends (+1) should have increasing volume
Low volume at high numbers (+10) = exhaustion

Actually Engulfing CandlesticksThis thing attempts to find price reversals with actually engulfing candlesticks with volume spikes and RSI values as confirmation. It works well on mean reverting assets I guess.
Green dots below bars = bullish reversal
Fuchsia dots above bars = bearish reversal

Multi Time Frame Supporting Candles (with EMA/VWAP)Overview
This script provides a clean and, most importantly, correctly-scaled Multi-Time-Frame (MTF) analysis panel. It displays the candles of a higher timeframe (e.g., 1-hour candles while you are on a 5-minute chart) in a separate pane below your main chart.
Crucially, it solves a common Pine Script scaling issue, allowing you to plot indicators like EMA and VWAP from the higher timeframe alongside the candles without distorting the display. This tool is essential for traders who practice Multi-Time-Frame Analysis, helping you stay aware of the larger trend context while executing trades on a lower timeframe.
Candle Range Classifier Dots OnlyCandle Range Classifier (Dots Only)
This indicator analyzes the price range of each candle relative to its recent average range to classify market activity into three categories: wide range, narrow range, or normal range.
Wide Range Candles (red dots above bars) indicate significant price movement and strong market effort.
Narrow Range Candles (blue dots below bars) indicate low volatility and possible market absorption or consolidation.
Normal Range Candles are not marked, keeping the chart clean and focused on meaningful range extremes.
Cryptogenik's Inflation-Adjusted Candles v2025Inflation-Adjusted Price Indicator by Cryptogenik
This indicator adjusts price data for inflation, allowing you to visualize how stock/asset prices would look with constant purchasing power. By using Consumer Price Index (CPI) data from FRED, it transforms nominal prices into inflation-adjusted values that reflect real-world purchasing power.
What This Indicator Does
The Inflation-Adjusted Price indicator converts traditional price charts to show what prices would be if the purchasing power of currency remained constant. This is essential for long-term analysis, as it removes the distortion caused by inflation when comparing prices across different time periods.
Key Features
Displays inflation-adjusted price candles alongside original prices
Uses official CPI data from the Federal Reserve (FRED:CPIAUCSL)
Allows easy comparison between nominal and real prices
Helps identify true price movements by filtering out the effects of inflation
Perfect for long-term investors and macroeconomic analysis
How To Use It
Apply the indicator to any chart
Green/red candles show the inflation-adjusted prices
Gray line shows the original unadjusted price
The information label displays the current CPI value
This indicator is particularly valuable for analyzing stocks, commodities, and other assets over periods of 5+ years, where inflation effects become significant. It helps answer the question: "Has this asset truly increased in value, or is the price increase just reflecting inflation?"
Technical Details
The indicator calculates adjusted prices using the formula: (price / CPI) * 100, which effectively shows prices as a percentage of current purchasing power. This approach normalizes all prices to a consistent standard, making historical comparisons more meaningful.

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.

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!
TSLA $4 Red CandleThose who trade TSLA often have come to know that a $4ish red candle on the 15min chart is normally a sign of a trend reversal to the downside by the market makers. To help identify these with ease this script will label any candles that close red with a $4.00 -> $4.99 price gap.

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.
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.
