ka66: Candle Range MarkThis is a simple trailing stop loss tool using bar ranges, to be used with some discretion and understanding of basic price action.
Given a configurable percentage value, e.g. 25%:
A bullish bar (close > open) will be marked at the lower 25%
A bearish bar (close < open) will be marked at the upper 25%
The idea is to move your stop loss after each completed bar in the direction of the trade, at the configured percentage value.
If you have an inside bar, or something very close to it, or a doji-type bar, don't trail that, because there is no clarity of what the bar means, we can only wait.
The chart shows an example use, with trailing at 10% of the bar, from the initial stop loss after entry, trailing till we get stopped out. Some things to note:
Because this example focuses on a short trade, we ignore the bullish candles, and keep our trailing stop at the last bearish candle.
We ignore doji-esque candles and inside bars, where the body is in the range of the prior candle. Some definitions of inside bars include the wicks as well. I don't have a strong opinion, and this example is just for illustration. Furthermore, the inside bar will likely be the opposite of the swing bars (e.g. bullish bar in a range of bearish bars), so our stop remains unchanged.
One could use this semi-systematic approach in scalping on any timeframe, for example to maximise gains, adjusting the bar percentage as needed.

Ultimate JLines & MTF EMA (Configurable, Labels)## Ultimate JLines & MTF EMA (Configurable, Labels) — Script Overview
This Pine Script is a comprehensive, multi-timeframe indicator based on J Trader concepts. It overlays various Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), VWAP, inside bar highlights, and dynamic labels onto price charts. The script is highly configurable, allowing users to tailor which elements are displayed and how they appear.
### Key Features
#### 1. **Multi-Timeframe JLines**
- **JLines** are pairs of EMAs (default lengths: 72 and 89) calculated on several timeframes:
- 1 minute (1m)
- 3 minutes (3m)
- 5 minutes (5m)
- 1 hour (1h)
- Custom timeframe (user-selectable)
- Each pair can be visualized as individual lines and as a "cloud" (shaded area between the two EMAs).
- Colors and opacity for each timeframe are user-configurable.
#### 2. **200 EMA on Multiple Timeframes**
- Plots the 200-period EMA on selectable timeframes: 1m, 3m, 5m, 15m, and 1h.
- Each can be toggled independently and colored as desired.
#### 3. **9 EMA and VWAP**
- Plots a 9-period EMA, either on the chart’s current timeframe or a user-specified one.
- Plots VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price) for additional trend context.
#### 4. **5/15 EMA Cross Cloud (5min)**
- Calculates and optionally displays a shaded "cloud" between the 5-period and 15-period EMAs on the 5-minute chart.
- Highlights bullish (5 EMA above 15 EMA) and bearish (5 EMA below 15 EMA) conditions with different colors.
- Optionally displays the 5 and 15 EMA lines themselves.
#### 5. **Inside Bar Highlighting**
- Highlights bars where the current high is less than or equal to the previous high and the low is greater than or equal to the previous low (inside bars).
- Color is user-configurable.
#### 6. **9 EMA / VWAP Cross Arrows**
- Plots up/down arrows when the 9 EMA crosses above or below the VWAP.
- Arrow colors and visibility are configurable.
#### 7. **Dynamic Labels**
- On the most recent bar, displays labels for each enabled line (EMAs, VWAP), offset to the right for clarity.
- Labels include the timeframe, type, and current value.
### Customization Options
- **Visibility:** Each plot (line, cloud, arrow, label) can be individually toggled on/off.
- **Colors:** All lines, clouds, and arrows can be colored to user preference, including opacity for clouds.
- **Timeframes:** JLines and EMAs can be calculated on different timeframes, including a custom one.
- **Label Text:** Labels dynamically reflect current indicator values and are color-coded to match their lines.
### Technical Implementation Highlights
- **Helper Functions:** Functions abstract away the logic for multi-timeframe EMA calculation.
- **Security Calls:** Uses `request.security` to fetch data from other timeframes, ensuring accurate multi-timeframe plotting.
- **Efficient Label Management:** Deletes old labels and creates new ones only on the last bar to avoid clutter and maintain performance.
- **Conditional Plotting:** All visual elements are conditionally plotted based on user input, making the indicator highly flexible.
### Use Cases
- **Trend Identification:** Multiple EMAs and VWAP help traders quickly identify trend direction and strength across timeframes.
- **Support/Resistance:** 200 EMA and JLines often act as dynamic support/resistance levels.
- **Entry/Exit Signals:** Crosses between 9 EMA and VWAP, as well as 5/15 EMA clouds, can signal potential trade entries or exits.
- **Pattern Recognition:** Inside bar highlights aid in spotting consolidation and breakout patterns.
### Summary Table of Configurable Elements
| Feature | Timeframes | Cloud Option | Label Option | Color Customizable | Description |
|----------------------------|-------------------|--------------|--------------|--------------------|-----------------------------------------------|
| JLines (72/89 EMA) | 1m, 3m, 5m, 1h, Custom | Yes | Yes | Yes | Key trend-following EMAs with cloud fill |
| 200 EMA | 1m, 3m, 5m, 15m, 1h | No | Yes | Yes | Long-term trend indicator |
| 9 EMA | Any | No | Yes | Yes | Short-term trend indicator |
| VWAP | Chart TF | No | Yes | Yes | Volume-weighted average price |
| 5/15 EMA Cloud (5m) | 5m | Yes | No | Yes | Bullish/bearish cloud between 5/15 EMAs |
| Inside Bar Highlight | Chart TF | No | N/A | Yes | Highlights price consolidation |
| 9 EMA / VWAP Cross Arrows | Chart TF | No | N/A | Yes | Marks EMA/VWAP crossovers with arrows |
This script is ideal for traders seeking a robust, multi-timeframe overlay that combines trend, momentum, and pattern signals in a single, highly customizable indicator. I do not advocate to subscribe to JTrades or the system they tout. This is based on my own observations and not a copy of any JTrades scripts. It is open source to allow full transparency.
IU Inside/Harami candlestick patternDESCRIPTION
The IU Inside/Harami Candlestick Pattern indicator is designed to detect bullish and bearish inside bar formations, also known as Harami patterns. This tool gives users flexibility by allowing pattern detection based on candle wicks, bodies, or a combination of both. It highlights detected patterns using colored boxes and optional text labels on the chart, helping traders quickly identify areas of consolidation and potential reversals.
USER INPUTS :
Pattern Recognition Based on =
Choose between "Wicks", "Body", or "Both" to determine how the inside candle pattern is identified.
Show Box =
Toggle the appearance of colored boxes that highlight the pattern zone.
Show Text =
Toggle on-screen labels for "Bullish Inside" or "Bearish Inside" when patterns are detected.
INDICATOR LOGIC :
Bullish Inside Bar (Harami) is detected when:
* The current candle's high is lower and low is higher than the previous candle (wick-based),
* or the current candle’s open and close are inside the previous candle’s body (body-based),
* and the current candle is bullish while the previous is bearish.
Bearish Inside Bar (Harami) is detected when:
* The current candle's high is lower and low is higher than the previous candle (wick-based),
* or the current candle’s open and close are inside the previous candle’s body (body-based),
* and the current candle is bearish while the previous is bullish.
The user can choose wick-based, body-based, or both logics for pattern confirmation.
Boxes are drawn between the highs and lows of the pattern, and alert messages are generated upon confirmation.
Optional labels show the pattern name for quick visual identification.
WHY IT IS UNIQUE :
Offers three different logic modes: wick-based, body-based, or combined.
Highlights patterns visually with customizable boxes and labels.
Includes built-in alerts for immediate notifications.
Uses clean and transparent plotting without repainting.
HOW USER CAN BENEFIT FROM IT :
Receive real-time alerts when Inside/Harami patterns are formed.
Use the boxes and text labels to spot price compression zones and breakout potential.
Combine it with other tools like trendlines or support/resistance for enhanced accuracy.
Suitable for scalpers, swing traders, and price action traders looking to trade inside bar breakouts or reversals.

Time - Bar StatusCandlestick analysis
The Indicator "Bar Status" will display the current open candle state and the last three close candles state based on the logic below.
Abbreviations.
OC = Open Candle (if in no state listed below)
FB = False Break
BO = Break Out
IN = Inside Bar
FBR = False Break Reversal
Logic:
OC = This is the current open candle yet to close. Its status will change as it progresses through time until close.
Green False Break Revers (FBR) = bar Close is higher than previous bar Close AND bar High is higher than previous bar High AND bar Low is lower than previous bar Low.
Green False Break (FB) = bar Close is lower than previous bar High AND bar High is higher than previous bar High.
Green Breakout (BO) = bar Close is higher than previous bar Close AND bar High is higher than previous bar High.
Green Inside Bar (IN) = bar High is lower than previous bar High AND bar Low is higher than previous bar Low.
Red False Break Revers (FBR) = bar Close is lower than previous bar Close AND bar Low is lower than previous bar Low AND bar High is Higher than previous bar High.
Red False Break (FB) = bar Close is higher than previous bar Low AND bar Low is lower than previous bar Low.
Red Breakout (BO) = bar Close is lower than previous bar Close AND bar Low is lower than previous bar Low.
Red Inside Bar (IN) = bar High is lower than previous bar High AND bar Low is higher than previous bar Low.
The end column is the current open candle/bar.
The second from the end column is the last closed candle/bar.
The third from the end column is the second closed candle/bar.
The forth from the end column is the third closed candle/bar.

Optimus trader Optimus Trader
Indicator Description:
The Optimus Trader indicator is designed for technical traders looking for entry and exit points in financial markets. It combines signals based on volume, moving averages, VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price), as well as the recognition of candlestick patterns such as Pin Bar and Inside Bars. This indicator helps identify opportune moments to buy or sell based on trends, volumes, and recent liquidity zones.
Parameters and Features:
1. Simple Moving Average (MA) and VWAP:
- Optimus Trader uses a 50-period simple moving average to determine the underlying trend. It also includes VWAP for precise price analysis based on traded volumes.
- These two indicators help identify whether the market is in an uptrend or downtrend, enhancing the reliability of buy and sell signals.
2. Volume :
- To avoid false signals, a volume threshold is set using a 20-period moving average, adjusted to 1.2 times the average volume. This filters signals by considering only high-volume periods, indicating heightened market interest.
3. Candlestick Pattern Recognition:
- Pin Bar: This sought-after candlestick pattern is detected for both bullish and bearish setups. A bullish or bearish *Pin Bar* often signals a possible reversal or continuation.
- *Inside Bar*: This price compression pattern is also detected, indicating a zone of indecision before a potential movement.
4. Trend:
- An uptrend is confirmed when the price is above the MA and VWAP, while a downtrend is identified when the price is below both indicators.
5. Liquidity Zones:
- Optimus Trader includes an approximate liquidity zone detection feature. By identifying recent support and resistance levels, the indicator detects if the price is near these zones. This feature strengthens the relevance of buy or sell signals.
6. Buy and Sell Signals:
- Buy: A buy signal is generated when the indicator detects a bullish *Pin Bar* or *Inside Bar* in an uptrend with high volume, and the price is close to a liquidity zone.
- Sell: A sell signal is generated when a bearish *Pin Bar* or *Inside Bar* is detected in a downtrend with high volume, and the price is near a liquidity zone.
Signal Display:
The signals are visible directly on the chart:
- A "BUY" label in green is displayed below the bar for buy signals.
- A "SELL" label in red is displayed above the bar for sell signals.
Summary:
This indicator is intended for traders seeking precise entry and exit points by integrating trend analysis, volume, and candlestick patterns. With liquidity zones, *Optimus Trader* helps minimize false signals, providing clear and accurate alerts.

The Strat Candle State Table (Two Symbols)The Strat Candle State Table (Two Symbols) – Multi-Timeframe Analysis
This advanced indicator is designed for traders who follow The Strat methodology, providing a quick, clear, and actionable view of candle states across two selected symbols and a chosen timeframe. It allows you to seamlessly integrate multi-symbol analysis into your trading, offering real-time insights into price action and market momentum based on **The Strat’s** powerful principles.
What It Does:
For each selected symbol, the indicator retrieves and analyzes the price data for three candles:
- Candle 1 (C1): The third candle from the current one.
- Candle 2 (C2): The candle directly before the current one (previous candle).
- Current Candle (CC): The live candle, which is still forming.
Using this information, it plots the Scenario 1 (Inside Bar), Scenario 2 (Directional), and **Scenario 3 (Outside Bar)** states for each candle, color-coding them to help you quickly assess market conditions and price action.
Strat Candle States:
- Scenario 1 (Inside Bar): The candle stays within the high and low of the previous candle (indicating consolidation or indecision).
- Scenario 2 (Directional)* The candle breaks either the high (2-up) or low (2-down) of the previous candle, indicating potential continuation in that direction.
- Scenario 3 (Outside Bar): The candle breaks both the high and low of the previous candle, signaling increased volatility and a potential reversal.
Customizable Color Scheme:
The default colors follow these settings (but can be changed to your preference):
- 1U (Inside and Up): Yellow (indicating an inside bar that closed higher).
- 1D (Inside and Down): Orange (indicating an inside bar that closed lower).
- 2U (Two Up): Green if the candle closes higher, Red if the candle closes lower (conflict).
- 2D (Two Down): Red if the candle closes lower, Green if the candle closes higher (conflict).
- 3U (Three Up): Lighter Purple.
- 3D (Three Down): Darker Purple/Magenta.
Each state is dynamically updated based on the actual price action and whether the candle closes above or below the open. Conflict candles (like a 2-up closing red or 2-down closing green) are highlighted, making it easier to spot potential reversals or weakness in the trend.
Timeframe Flexibility:
You can overlay this indicator on any chart regardless of the timeframe. The key is to select the timeframe you want the indicator to plot for when setting up. Whether you're working on a 5-minute chart, daily, or even weekly, the indicator will analyze the candles according to the selected timeframe, giving you the versatility to adapt it to various trading strategies.
Powerful Use Cases:
1. Multi-Symbol Analysis in Real-Time: The Strat Candle State Table displays the candle states for two symbols at once, helping you track multiple instruments without switching charts. This is extremely useful when monitoring correlated assets like SPY and QQQ, or sector-related pairs such as DIA and IWM
2. Seamless Top-Down View: By analyzing the three most recent candles (C1, C2, and the current candle), the indicator allows you to maintain a top-down perspective on price action, spotting setups early and tracking candle state changes across different symbols and timeframes.
3. Enhanced Conflict Detection: The background shading automatically adjusts for conflict candles, such as a 2-up that closes red or a 2-down that closes green. This provides a quick visual cue to warn you when the current trend may be weakening or reversing.
4. Trade Execution Precision: With this table providing constant feedback on price action and candle state, traders can more easily time their entries and exits, whether they are looking for reversals or continuations
5. Focus on Timeframe Continuity: Use this indicator to stay in alignment with The Strat's Timeframe Continuity, ensuring you are trading in the direction of the most aligned candles, across both symbols. This allows for more precise trade management and higher-probability setups.
6. Customizable to Your Strategy: Change the color coding and candle states to match your personal preferences or trading strategy, making this indicator adaptable to your specific needs.
Most Powerful Use Case – Simultaneous Break Detection:
The Strat Candle State Table shines in setups where simultaneous breaks are being monitored across multiple symbols. For example, if both symbols trigger a 2-up or 3-up at the same time, this confirms that momentum is flowing in the same direction for multiple instruments, giving you stronger trade conviction.
By seeing real-time data for two key symbols, you can ensure that you're catching simultaneous breaks, where multiple instruments are signaling the same move. This can be especially effective in index-based trading, where the strength or weakness of multiple sectors or assets must align for a higher probability of success
Happy BarsThis script works to help the trader quickly visualize specific moments in time, where certain price action bars are taking place.
Highlighting:
- inside bars
- outside bars

- inside outside bars
- outside outside bars
and allowing the trader to set alerts once the bar patterns are confirmed.
Popgun Bar PatternI created this script to research the trading effectiveness of the Popgun Bar Pattern.
The Popgun Bar Pattern is found when 3 candlesticks in order form the following pattern:
0. Any bar that is then followed by:
1. An inside bar. This is a bar that is completely engulfed by the bar before it. It will have a lower high and a higher low than the previous bar.
2. An outside bar immediately after. This is a bar that completely engulfs the prior inside bar. It will have a higher high and a lower low than the previous bar.
Simply put, the Popgun Bar Pattern is an inside bar followed by an outside bar.
I would highly recommend incorporating this signal as a "trigger" for existing technical analysis. Used in isolation it may not have a high probability of success.
To make it more effective as a trigger to a trading signal I incorporated into my code an Entry, Stop, and a Target dot.
The Entry dot is offset from the low of a bearish Popgun Bar Pattern or the high of a bullish Popgun Bar Pattern by a factor of ATR. The default ATR percentage is 33% but can be adjusted.
The Stop dot is based on the recent highest high (bearish) or lowest low (bullish) of a set range (default is 9 bars) plus/minus the ATR percentage buffer.
The Target dot is automatically calculated from the entry based on a configurable reward factor (default is 3) from the entry to stop distance. This projects a potential 3:1 reward/risk trade by default.
There is an additional alert condition which can be configured at the end of the script.
VWAP MA HLOC securities Jayy update fix This version replaces previous versions that stopped functioning as a result of a TradingView script update.
This script complies with the current script syntax.
for intraday securities default is 9:30 am to 4 pm Eastern Other session choices are provided in the format dialogue box.
script plots VWAP, yesterday's high, low, open and close (HLOC), the day befores HLOC - if desired, today's open and todays high and low.
Also signals inside bars (high is less than or equal to the previous
bar's high and the low is greater than or equal to
the previous low) the : true inside bars have a maroon triangle below the bar as well as a ">" above the bar.
If subsequent bars are inside the last bar before the last true inside bar they also are marked with an ">"

Gann Swing PointsIndicator Logic
This is a GANN-style swing indicator that classifies bars based on their high/low structure relative to the previous bar.
I strongly encourage you to replay bars on Tradingview using this indicator to get a sense of how it creates pivot (or swing) points
Bar Classification:
Up-Bar (direction: 'up'): Higher High and Higher Low (HH/HL)
Down-Bar (direction: 'down'): Lower High and Lower Low (LH/LL)
Outside-Bar (generates 2 directions):
Green: 'down' then 'up'
Red: 'up' then 'down'
Inside-Bar: No direction generated (HL/LH)
Swing Line Logic
The swing line continues in the current direction until n opposite directions are detected.
n is the "n-direction" parameter (commonly set to 2, so 2 consecutive opposite direction is needed to turn the swing)
When n opposing directions occur, the swing turns, creating a pivot point
Inside bar is ignored, so e.g up-bar -> inside-bar -> up-bar generates "up", "up" direction
A top pivot is formed when the swing turns down
A bottom pivot is formed when it turns up
Note: This swing logic is inherently lagging — it only confirms tops/bottoms after the fact
This swing structure gives the system a clear and noise-resistant way to identify pivot points (swing-points)
4C Inside/Outside BarThis indicator colors the candle body based on whether it closed as an Inside Bar (IB) or an Outside Bar (OB).
Inside and outside bars can be powerful triggers to enter or exit trades from, when price breaks above or below the candle.
The coloring of only the body and not the border of the candle makes it possible to still know whether the candle was bullish/bearish.
This indicator has the unique ability to add/hide labels for each IB and OB.
Small labels are printed on the chart directly below the candle. (See below)
It also has the unique ability to paint the chart background when an IB forms directly after an OB.
This is a special combination of the two, and can also be a powerful signal.
This feature can be turned on/off. (See below)

Double Inside Body Candles with Box & Alert + 5-Bar LinesThis indicator identifies Double Inside Body Candle patterns, where:
Candle 1 is completely inside Candle 2,
Candle 2 is completely inside Candle 3 (the parent candle),
Candle 3 has a real body (not a doji or negligible body size).
Once the pattern is detected:
A label appears below the current candle.
A highlight box is drawn around Candle 3 (the parent candle) body range.
Horizontal lines are drawn from the top and bottom of Candle 3’s body and extend forward for exactly 5 bars to visualize potential breakout levels.
The script also detects and highlights breakouts:
🔼 Bullish breakout: if price closes above Candle 3's body high.
🔽 Bearish breakout: if price closes below Candle 3's body low.
Alerts are available for:
Double Inside Body pattern detection
Bullish breakout
Bearish breakout
Traders can use this script to identify consolidation periods (double inside bars), then monitor for breakout opportunities in either direction, using the 5-bar lines as short-term breakout levels.
Breakout mode patterns [yohtza]This indicator detects three kinds of price action patterns:
ii - consecutive inside bars ( high and low inside of the previous bar), triangle on a lower timeframe
oo - consecutive outside bars ( high above the high of the previous bar and the low below the low of the previous bar), expanding triangle on a lower timeframe
ioi - inside outside inside, diamond pattern on a lower timeframe
Traders that trade these patterns are entering on breakouts above/below .When they appear in a trending market, they are good setups for both continuation and reversal swing trades. When they appear in ranging market, they are not nearly as powerful since most breakouts fail in this context. To achieve the highest probability, it is best to trade in the direction of the trend on the last bar in the pattern with a stop loss on the other side and going for a reward that is at least twice the risk.
Inside Candle and mother candle range with alert++>>This script allows you the inside bar candle and the cnadle is shown in white.
The range of the mother candle is identified and tracked until it breaks.
Once the first range is over ridden then the next similar pattern will be occured and the tracking will be done for the mother candle latest occurrence.
It also has the alert mechanism where you can go and the alert for the indicator in Alerts.
5 min is the most preferrable time frame and while saving the alert Note to save the time frame of the chart. For which ever time frame is saved the Alert will be triggered for the same .
And when th inside bar is triggered it throws an alert condition. this alert condition has to be configured in your alerts and will be buzzing on the screen.

Key Indicators Dashboard (KID)Key Indicators Dashboard (KID) — Comprehensive Market & Trend Metrics
📌 Overview
The Key Indicators Dashboard (KID) is an advanced multi-metric market analysis tool designed to consolidate essential technical, volatility, and relative performance data into a single on-chart table. Instead of switching between multiple indicators, KID centralizes these key measures, making it easier to assess a stock’s technical health, volatility state, trend status, and relative strength at a glance.
🛠 Key Features
⦿ Average Daily Range (ADR %): Measures average daily price movement over a specified period. It is calculated by averaging the daily price range (high - low) over a set number of days (default 20 days).
⦿ Average True Range (ATR): Measures volatility by calculating the average of a true range over a specific period (default 14). It helps traders gauge the typical extent of price movement, regardless of the direction.
⦿ ATR%: Expresses the Average True Range as a percentage of the price, which allows traders to compare the volatility of stocks with different prices.
⦿ Relative Strength (RS): Compares a stock’s performance to a chosen benchmark index (default NIFTYMIDSML400) over a specific period (default 50 days).
⦿ RS Score (IBD-style): A normalized 1–100 rating inspired by Investor’s Business Daily methodology.
How it works: The RS Score is based on a weighted average of price changes over 3 months (40%), 6 months (20%), 9 months (20%), and 12 months (20%).
The raw value is converted into a percentage return, then normalized over the past 252 trading days so the lowest value maps to 1 and the highest to 100.
This produces a percentile-style score that highlights the strongest stocks in relative terms.
⦿ Relative Volume (RVol): Compares a stock's current volume to its average volume over a specific period (default 50). It is calculated by dividing the current volume by the average historical volume.
⦿ Average ₹ Volume (Turnover): Represents the total monetary value of shares traded for a stock. It's calculated by multiplying a day's closing price by its volume, with the final value converted to crores for clarity. This metric is a key indicator of a stock's liquidity and overall market interest.
⦿ Moving Average Extension: Measures how far a stock's current price has moved from from a selected moving average (EMA or SMA). This deviation is normalized by the stock's volatility (ATR%), with a default threshold of 6 ATR used to indicate that the stock is significantly extended and is marked with a selected shape (default Red Flag).
⦿ 52-Weeks High & Low: Measures a stock's current price in relation to its highest and lowest prices over the past year. It calculates the percentage a stock is below its 52-week high and above its 52-week low.
⦿ Market Capitalization: Market Cap represents the total value of all outstanding.
⦿ Free Float: It is the value of shares readily available for public trading, with the Free Float Percentage showing the proportion of shares available to the public.
⦿ Trend: Uses Supertrend indicator to identify the current trend of a stock's price. A factor (default 3) and an ATR period (default 10) is used to signal whether the trend is up or down.
⦿ Minervini Trend Template (MTT): It is a set of technical criteria designed to identify stocks in strong uptrends.
Price > 50-DMA > 150-DMA > 200-DMA
200-DMA is trending up for at least 1 month
Price is at least 30% above its 52-week low.
Price is within at least 25 percent of its 52-week high
Table highlights when a stock meets all above criteria.
⦿ Sector & Industry: Display stock's sector and industry, provides categorical classification to assist sector-based analysis. The sector is a broad economic classification, while the industry is a more specific group within that sector.
⦿ Moving Averages (MAs): Plot up to four customizable Moving Averages on a chart. You can independently set the type (Simple or Exponential), the source price, and the length for each MA to help visualize a stock's underlying trend.
MA1: Default 10-EMA
MA2: Default 20-EMA
MA3: Default 50-EMA
MA4: Default 200-EMA
⦿ Moving Average (MA) Crossover: It is a trend signal that occurs when a shorter-term moving average crosses a longer-term one. This script identifies these crossover events and plots a marker on the chart to visually signal a potential change in trend direction.
User-configurable MAs (short and long).
A bullish crossover occurs when the short MA crosses above the long MA.
A bearish crossover occurs when the short MA crosses below the long MA.
⦿ Inside Bar (IB): An Inside Bar is a candlestick whose entire price range is contained within the range of the previous bar. This script identifies this pattern, which often signals consolidation, and visually marks bullish and bearish inside bars on the chart with distinct colors and labels.
⦿ Tightness: Identifies periods of low volatility and price consolidation. It compares the price range over a short lookback period (default 3) to the average daily range (ADR). When the lookback range is smaller than the ADR, the indicator plots a marker on the chart to signal consolidation.
⦿ PowerBar (Purple Dot): Identifies candles with a strong price move on high volume. By default, it plots a purple dot when a stock moves up or down by at least 5% and has a minimum volume of 500,000. More dots indicate higher volatility and liquidity.
⦿ Squeezing Range (SQ): Identifies periods of low volatility, which can often precede a significant price move. It checks if the Bollinger Bands have narrowed to a range that is smaller than the Average True Range (ATR) for a set number of consecutive bars (default 3).
(UpperBB - LowerBB) < (ATR × 2)
⦿ Mark 52-Weeks High and Low: Marks and labels a stock's 52-Week High and Low prices directly on the chart. It draws two horizontal lines extending from the candles where the highest and lowest prices occurred over the past year, providing a clear visual reference for long-term price extremes.
⏳PineScreener Filters
The indicator’s alert conditions act as filters for PineScreener.
Price Filter: Minimum and maximum price cutoffs (default ₹25 - ₹10000).
Daily Price Change Filter: Minimum and maximum daily percent change (default -5% and 5%).
