Bullish and Bearish Triangle PatternsBullish Triangle Detection:
A bullish triangle is identified when the highs are flat or increasing and the lows are rising, signaling an upward trend. The script uses ta.crossover for rising lows.
If a bullish triangle is detected, a green triangle (▲) is plotted above the price.
Bearish Triangle Detection:
A bearish triangle is identified when the highs are falling and the lows are falling as well, signaling a downward trend. The script uses ta.crossunder for falling highs.
If a bearish triangle is detected, a red triangle (▼) is plotted below the price.
Plotting Both Patterns:
The script displays green upward-facing triangles for bullish patterns and red downward-facing triangles for bearish patterns on the chart.
Alerts:
Alerts can be triggered for both bullish and bearish triangle patterns so that you can be notified when they occur.

Flags With Measured Move [QuantVue]Flags with Measured Moves is a technical analysis tool that identifies bull flags and provides a measured move target.
A bull flag is a continuation pattern that occurs within the context of a general uptrend. It represents a pause or small consolidation before the price resumes its upward movement.
A bull flag consists of two sections: the flagpole and the flag.
The flagpole is the initial upward movement that occurs before the flag forms.
The flag forms as the price consolidates after the initial uptrend. During this phase, the price tends to drift downward or sideways, ideally with declining volume.
Once the flag has put in a low, the initial range of thrust is added to the flag low to form the measured move target.
Every element of the flag is customizable by the trader, including the size and length of the prior uptrend and the minimum and maximum flag depth and length.
The indicator also includes alerts for when new flags are formed, when a breakout from the flag occurs, and when the measured move target is reached.
By default, the indicator settings are set for use on a daily timeframe. If using the indicator on an intraday timeframe, you will need to adjust the settings.
Give this indicator a BOOST and COMMENT your thoughts!
We hope you enjoy.
Cheers!
QM Signal [TradingFinder] Quasimodo Pattern - Head and Shoulders🔵 Introduction
One of the patterns in "RTM" is the "QM" pattern, also known as "Quasimodo". Its name is derived from the appearance of "Hunchback of Notre-Dame" from Victor Hugo's novel. It is a type of "Head and Shoulders" pattern.
🔵 Formation Method
🟣 Upward Trend
In an upward trend, the left shoulder is formed, and the price creates a new peak higher than the left shoulder peak . After a decline, it manages to break the previous low and move upward again. We expect the price to return approximately between and to form the "QM" pattern.
🟣 Downward Trend
In a downward trend, with a price decline, a new valley is created, forming the left shoulder, and the price forms a new valley lower than the left shoulder valley . After a price increase, it manages to break the previous high and move downward again. We expect the price to return approximately between and to form the "Quasimodo" pattern.
Note: The "QM" pattern is a specific type of head and shoulders pattern in which in the first move, the previous support is broken and it's the best condition for price reversal.
🔵 Entry Conditions for "Buy" and "Sell"
🟢 Buy
Buy Position : When a complete "QM" pattern is formed in a downtrend; we expect the price to reach the left shoulder area (with confirmation) during the retracement to enter the "BUY" position.
Profit Target in Buy Scenario : Expecting a move to the peak that broke it and the highest point in the current "Swing".
Stop Loss : Below the "Head," which is the lowest point.
🔴 Sell
Sell Position : When a "QM" pattern is formed in an uptrend, we look for entry into the "Sell" position as the price retraces to the left shoulder area.
Profit Target in Sell Scenario : Expecting a move to the price floor that has been broken and the entire "Swing" or .
Take Profit : Above the highest point or above the area will be the "SL" region.
Note : Certainly, no method alone guarantees trading capability and requires different confirmations. This indicator only detects the "QM" pattern, and the rest of the analysis will be the responsibility of the user.
Note : These profit and loss limits are based on market movements and will be provided as approximate and supportive.
FOREX MASTER PATTERN Value Lines by nnamThe Forex Master Pattern is form of technical analysis that provides a framework for spotting hidden price patterns that reveal the true movement of the market. The Forex Master Pattern Value Lines Indicator helps to identify this Phase 1 contraction of the Forex Master Pattern cycle.
HOW THIS INDICATOR WORKS
This indicator looks for a sustained contraction in price initially indicated by TWO contraction bars in a row, thus detecting a contraction point and a potential new master pattern origin point.
Once a contraction point is detected, a blue box will appear on the chart with a thick solid blue line projecting from its center. These are potential "Points of Origin" and "Value Lines" that institutional traders use to balance their books.
As shown above, when price begins to move (detected by engulfing and/or expansion candles), an Arrow is plotted to the chart identifying a possible expansion.
As shown above, previous Value Lines typically serve as future support / resistance points, however, due to the unique location of these lines, they are not typically identified as support or resistance levels on standard S/R indicators.
Color Coded Candles assist the user in quickly identifying contraction and expansion areas as well as trends away from the value-line. The expansion candles, Up/Down candles, and contraction BARS are all inspired by the STRAT (Rob Smith) and are specifically incorporated into this indicator to assist the user in finding potential reversals during the expansion phase. This helps to avoid the whiplash typically associated with the first phase of Forex Master Pattern.

Candilator RSI [AstrideUnicorn]OVERVIEW
The name Candilator comes from blending the words "candlestick" and "oscillator". And as the name suggests, this indicator is a good old RSI plotted as a candlestick chart. To produce a candlestick chart, Candilator RSI calculates four RSI's based on the open, high, low, and close time series. It also has a candlestick patterns detection feature.
HOW TO USE
You can use Candilator RSI as a normal RSI to analyze momentum, detect overbought and oversold markets, and find the oscillator's divergences with the price. You can also get creative and apply all sorts of technical analysis to the RSI candlestick chart, including candlestick patterns analysis.
Candilator RSI can automatically scan the price for some candlestick patterns in the overbought and oversold zones. This feature can help detect price reversals early.
SETTINGS
The indicator settings are divided into two groups: Main Settings and Pattern Detection. In the Main Settings, you can find standard RSI settings. In the Pattern Detection part, you can turn on and off the automatic search for a particular candlestick pattern.
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.
[Daveatt] BEST ABCD Pattern Strategy (Trailing SL + TP)Hello traders
This is the strategy version of my ABCD pattern. I added the Trailing Stop and Trailing Profit upon a follower request
I - Concept
I present to you, ladies and gentlemen, the first screener for harmonic patterns .
Starting with an ACBD pattern screener this time!!
I used the calculations from Ricardo Santo's script
In short, he's using fractals (regular or Bill Williams ) for the pattern calculations. A masterpiece !!!
II - Definitions
The ABCD pattern ( AB=CD ) is one of the classic chart patterns which is repeated over and over again.
The ABCD pattern shows perfect harmony between price and time.
The Williams Fractal is an indicator, developed by Bill Williams , that aims to detect reversal points (highs and lows) and marks them with arrows.
Up fractals and down fractals have specific shapes. The Williams Fractal indicator helps users determine in which direction price will develop
💎Strategy filters💎
I included some cool backtest filters:
- Trailing stop with trigger concept coming from this Trailing Stop Strategy
- Trailing profit with trigger coming from this Trailing Profit Strategy

[fikira] Harmonic Patterns TESTAs requested a TEST script when possible future
Harmonic Patterns may occur, in this case the ABCD pattern.
When A, B, C are valid, the script will plot 2 lines between A-B and B-C, together with
2 white arrows,,where D MUST be in the future to become a valid ABCD pattern.
First of all, D MUST be a Pivot point, after which D must lay between D- and D+
In a Bearish example D- is the minimal value of D, D+ the maximum value of D.
In a Bullish example D- is the maximum value of D, D+ the minimum value of D,
either way, D must be between these 2 lines.
Since we don't know when the next possible Pivot point will occur, the white arrows
won't predict where it will happen, it just shows the max and min value.
If it doesn't become a valid ABCD Pattern, the lines just stay that way, when a valid ABCD pattern
occurs, more lines will be plotted, together with the Targets.
Do mind, the script adds a lot of lines, since there is a maximum of lines, only the last ones will
be plotted, the rest can be made visible by using the "Replay" button
Also, the script measures Pivot Points, it is not always perfect, do your own research and
see for yourself if a valid pattern is also valid for you!
Thank you!
Candlesticks Patterns IdentifiedI was using another script that colored the bars to show the different candle patterns. Thanks to HPotter (www.tradingview.com). Unfortunately, I can't think that fast when looking across a screen of charts with different color bars. Fortunately, Tradingview came up with symbols and names on 2/26/15. I decided to take my favorite symbols and attach them to a name. This makes it easier to see what is going on and where your entry would be if it confirms. Works beautifully for me. Decided to share. I also added the ability to alter what shows up based upon a look back. A bullish engulfing at the top of a trend, or a bearish harami at the bottom of the trend, is nearly useless and clutters the chart. I have the default set for the open of the current bar to be higher or lower than the open from 5 bars back. You can adjust in the settings to what you like. This trend setting is on all the patterns except doji. If you want to see all the candle patterns, set it to "1".
The doji can be adjusted as well. I left some other patterns at the bottom of the script, but they are turned off. They became too much of a clutter for me. I prefer DovCaspi's pattern finder for hammers and stars: I use his due to the clean appearance.
The default script has: Doji, Bearish Harami, Bullish Harami, Bearish Engulfing, Bullish Engulfing, Piercing Line, Bullish Belt, Bullish Kicker, and Bearish Kicker. You can turn off what you don't like. The Piercing Line, Bullish Belt, and the Kickers will usually show up better in the daily charts.
If you would like the updated version, see the Related Ideas below:
I4I Inside Vortex Strike RateThis indicator identifies what I call an "Inside Vortex": It's similar to a Doji but more strict in having to be inside a keltner and also have a lower ATR than a blended average.
The bar itself is not that special. But it indicates that a potential big move might come in the next 2 periods.
After the patter: It then looks at what I call the Market Maker High and Low: A % of a blended ATR. It then looks back 100-200 or more bars and calculates the overall strike % in history for the High and low after the pattern happens.
This allows us to know how often these levels are hit within the next 2 periods to find if we have any edge on spread, call or put prices or use them as targets.
So its:

Very unique and EXTREME useful. Especially for options traders.
RSI Failure Swing Pattern (with Alerts & Targets)RSI Failure Swing Pattern Indicator – Detailed Description
Overview
The RSI Failure Swing Pattern Indicator is a trend reversal detection tool based on the principles of failure swings in the Relative Strength Index (RSI). This indicator identifies key reversal signals by analyzing RSI swings and confirming trend shifts using predefined overbought and oversold conditions.
Failure swing patterns are one of the strongest RSI-based reversal signals, initially introduced by J. Welles Wilder. This indicator detects these patterns and provides clear buy/sell signals with labeled entry, stop-loss, and profit target levels. The tool is designed to work across all timeframes and assets.
How the Indicator Works
The RSI Failure Swing Pattern consists of two key structures:
1. Bullish Failure Swing (Buy Signal)
Occurs when RSI enters oversold territory (below 30), recovers, forms a higher low above the oversold level, and finally breaks above the intermediate swing high in RSI.
Step 1: RSI dips below 30 (oversold condition).
Step 2: RSI rebounds and forms a local peak.
Step 3: RSI retraces but does not go below the previous low (higher low confirmation).
Step 4: RSI breaks above the previous peak, confirming a bullish trend reversal.
Buy signal is triggered at the breakout above the RSI peak.
2. Bearish Failure Swing (Sell Signal)
Occurs when RSI enters overbought territory (above 70), declines, forms a lower high below the overbought level, and then breaks below the intermediate swing low in RSI.
Step 1: RSI rises above 70 (overbought condition).
Step 2: RSI declines and forms a local trough.
Step 3: RSI bounces but fails to exceed the previous high (lower high confirmation).
Step 4: RSI breaks below the previous trough, confirming a bearish trend reversal.
Sell signal is triggered at the breakdown below the RSI trough.
Features of the Indicator
Custom RSI Settings: Adjustable RSI length (default 14), overbought/oversold levels.
Buy & Sell Signals: Buy/sell signals are plotted directly on the price chart.
Entry, Stop-Loss, and Profit Targets:
Entry: Price at the breakout of the RSI failure swing pattern.
Stop-Loss: Lowest low (for buy) or highest high (for sell) of the previous two bars.
Profit Targets: Two levels calculated based on Risk-Reward ratios (1:1 and 1:2 by default, customizable).
Labeled Price Levels:
Entry Price Line (Blue): Marks the point of trade entry.
Stop-Loss Line (Red): Shows the calculated stop-loss level.
Target 1 Line (Orange): Profit target at 1:1 risk-reward ratio.
Target 2 Line (Green): Profit target at 1:2 risk-reward ratio.
Alerts for Trade Execution:
Buy/Sell signals trigger alerts for real-time notifications.
Alerts fire when price reaches stop-loss or profit targets.
Works on Any Timeframe & Asset: Suitable for stocks, forex, crypto, indices, and commodities.
Why Use This Indicator?
Highly Reliable Reversal Signals: Unlike simple RSI overbought/oversold strategies, failure swings filter out false breakouts and provide strong confirmation of trend reversals.
Risk Management Built-In: Stop-loss and take-profit levels are automatically set based on historical price action and risk-reward considerations.
Easy-to-Use Visualization: Clearly marked entry, stop-loss, and profit target levels make it beginner-friendly while still being valuable for experienced traders.
How to Trade with the Indicator
Buy Trade Example (Bullish Failure Swing)
RSI drops below 30 and recovers.
RSI forms a higher low and then breaks above the previous peak.
Entry: Buy when RSI crosses above its previous peak.
Stop-Loss: Set below the lowest low of the previous two candles.
Profit Targets:
Target 1 (1:1 Risk-Reward Ratio)
Target 2 (1:2 Risk-Reward Ratio)
Sell Trade Example (Bearish Failure Swing)
RSI rises above 70 and then declines.
RSI forms a lower high and then breaks below the previous trough.
Entry: Sell when RSI crosses below its previous trough.
Stop-Loss: Set above the highest high of the previous two candles.
Profit Targets:
Target 1 (1:1 Risk-Reward Ratio)
Target 2 (1:2 Risk-Reward Ratio)
Final Thoughts
The RSI Failure Swing Pattern Indicator is a powerful tool for traders looking to identify high-probability trend reversals. By using the RSI failure swing concept along with built-in risk management tools, this indicator provides a structured approach to trading with clear entry and exit points. Whether you’re a day trader, swing trader, or long-term investor, this indicator helps in capturing momentum shifts while minimizing risk.

█ CONCEPTS
Green and Red Candles
• A green candle is one that closes with a close price equal to or above the price it opened.
• A red candle is one that closes with a close price that is lower than the price it opened.
Swing Highs and Swing Lows
• A swing high is a green candle or series of consecutive green candles followed by a single red candle to complete the swing and form the peak.
• A swing low is a red candle or series of consecutive red candles followed by a single green candle to complete the swing and form the trough.
Peak and Trough Prices
• The peak price of a complete swing high is the high price of either the red candle that completes the swing high or the high price of the preceding green candle, depending on which is higher.
• The trough price of a complete swing low is the low price of either the green candle that completes the swing low or the low price of the preceding red candle, depending on which is lower.
Historic Peaks and Troughs
The current, or most recent, peak and trough occurrences are referred to as occurrence zero. Previous peak and trough occurrences are referred to as historic and ordered numerically from right to left, with the most recent historic peak and trough occurrences being occurrence one.
Upper Trends
• A return line uptrend is formed when the current peak price is higher than the preceding peak price.
• A downtrend is formed when the current peak price is lower than the preceding peak price.
• A double-top is formed when the current peak price is equal to the preceding peak price.
Lower Trends
• An uptrend is formed when the current trough price is higher than the preceding trough price.
• A return line downtrend is formed when the current trough price is lower than the preceding trough price.
• A double-bottom is formed when the current trough price is equal to the preceding trough price.
Range
The range is simply the difference between the current peak and current trough prices, generally expressed in terms of points or pips.
Retracement and Extension Ratios
Retracement and extension ratios are calculated by dividing the current range by the preceding range and multiplying the answer by 100. Retracement ratios are those that are equal to or below 100% of the preceding range and extension ratios are those that are above 100% of the preceding range.
Measurement Tolerances
Tolerance refers to the allowable variation or deviation from a specific value or dimension. It is the range within which a particular measurement is considered to be acceptable or accurate. I have applied this concept in my pattern detection logic and have set default tolerances where applicable, as perfect patterns are, needless to say, very rare.
Chart Patterns
Generally speaking price charts are nothing more than a series of swing highs and swing lows. When demand outweighs supply over a period of time prices swing higher and when supply outweighs demand over a period of time prices swing lower. These swing highs and swing lows can form patterns that offer insight into the prevailing supply and demand dynamics at play at the relevant moment in time.
‘Let us assume… that you the reader, are not a member of that mysterious inner circle known to the boardrooms as “the insiders”… But it is fairly certain that there are not nearly so many “insiders” as amateur trader supposes and… It is even more certain that insiders can be wrong… Any success they have, however, can be accomplished only by buying and selling… hey can do neither without altering the delicate poise of supply and demand that governs prices. Whatever they do is sooner or later reflected on the charts where you… can detect it. Or detect, at least, the way in which the supply-demand equation is being affected… So, you do not need to be an insider to ride with them frequently… prices move in trends. Some of those trends are straight, some are curved; some are brief and some are long and continued… produced in a series of action and reaction waves of great uniformity. Sooner or later, these trends change direction; they may reverse (as from up to down), or they may be interrupted by some sort of sideways movement and then, after a time, proceed again in their former direction… when a price trend is in the process of reversal… a characteristic area or pattern takes shape on the chart, which becomes recognisable as a reversal formation… Needless to say, the first and most important task of the technical chart analyst is to learn to know the important reversal formations and to judge what they may signify in terms of trading opportunities’ (Edwards & Magee, 1948).
This is as true today as it was when Edwards and Magee were writing in the first half of the last Century, study your patterns and make judgements for yourself about what their implications truly are on the markets and timeframes you are interested in trading.
Over the years, traders have come to discover a multitude of chart and candlestick patterns that are supposed to pertain information on future price movements. However, it is never so clear cut in practice and patterns that where once considered to be reversal patterns are now considered to be continuation patterns and vice versa. Bullish patterns can have bearish implications and bearish patterns can have bullish implications. As such, I would highly encourage you to do your own backtesting.
There is no denying that chart patterns exist, but their implications will vary from market to market and timeframe to timeframe. So it is down to you as an individual to study them and make decisions about how they may be used in a strategic sense.
█ INPUTS
• Change pattern and label colours
• Show or hide patterns individually
• Adjust pattern ratios and tolerances
• Set or remove alerts for individual patterns
█ NOTES
I have decided to rename some of my previously published patterns based on the way in which the pattern completes. If the pattern completes on a swing high then the pattern is considered bearish, if the pattern completes on a swing low then it is considered bullish. This may seem confusing but it makes sense when you come to backtesting the patterns and want to use the most recent peak or trough prices as stop losses. Patterns that can complete on both a swing high and swing low are for such reasons treated as neutral, namely all broadening and wedge variations. I trust that it is quite self-evident that double and triple bottom patterns are considered bullish while double and triple top patterns are considered bearish, so I did not feel the need to rename those.
The patterns that have been renamed and what they have been renamed to, are as follows:
• Ascending Elliot Waves to Bearish Elliot Waves
• Descending Elliot Waves to Bullish Elliot Waves
• Ascending Head and Shoulders to Bearish Ascending Head and Shoulders
• Descending Head and Shoulders to Bearish Descending Head and Shoulders
• Head and Shoulders to Bearish Head and Shoulders
• Ascending Inverse Head and Shoulders to Bullish Ascending Head and Shoulders
• Descending Inverse Head and Shoulders to Bullish Descending Head and Shoulders
• Inverse Head and Shoulders to Bullish Head and Shoulders
You can test the patterns with your own strategies manually by applying the indicator to your chart while in bar replay mode and playing through the history. You could also automate this process with PineScript by using the conditions from my swing and pattern libraries as entry conditions in the strategy tester or your own custom made strategy screener.
█ LIMITATIONS
All green and red candle calculations are based on differences between open and close prices, as such I have made no attempt to account for green candles that gap lower and close below the close price of the preceding candle, or red candles that gap higher and close above the close price of the preceding candle. This may cause some unexpected behaviour on some markets and timeframes. I can only recommend using 24-hour markets, if and where possible, as there are far fewer gaps and, generally, more data to work with.

BuP = Bullish Pattern
BeP = Bearish Pattern
AIM:
The aim of the indicator was to spot 2 common patterns in one indicator: Three White Soldiers and Three Black Crows
The rest is all implementation because I like coding.
Anyway on all timeframes 3 consecutive candles with a similar body length seems to be an alarm that Market Makers are joining the gfame before a major manipulation so it worth keep an eye on those.
From my experimentation from ltf 1 minute timeframe to htf 1H timeframe, 3 consecutive candles with a body length between 10 and 20 pips could be the ones to keep an eye on before a reversal or a strong continuation.
For sure they are zonez and levels where MM would come back later.
Adjust the settings as you want and happy trading!
This is just an indicator nothing more
Tweezer PatternsTweezer top and bottom, also known as tweezers, are reversal candlestick patterns
that signal a potential change in the price direction. Both formations consist of
two candles that occur at the end of a trend, which is in its dying stages.
The tweezer bottom candlestick pattern is a bullish reversal pattern that can be
spotted at the bottom of a downtrend. It consists of two candles, where the first
candle is in line with the bearish trend, while the second candle reflects more
bullish market sentiment as the price bursts higher, in the opposite trend.
The tweezer top candlestick pattern is of the same structure as the tweezer bottom,
except for the fact that it happens at the end of an uptrend, and therefore, it is a
bearish reversal pattern. The first candle is bullish, and it continues in the same
direction, while the second bearish candle indicates that the trend may be changing soon.
Both the bottom and top tweezers are only valid when they occur during uptrends and downtrends.
Their appearance during choppy trading conditions is practically meaningless, and it signals
the market indecision to move in either direction.

HTF Candlestick Patterns [TradingView] vX by DGTCandlesticks are graphical representations of price movements for a given period of time. They are commonly formed by the opening, high, low, and closing prices of a financial instrument. They have their origins in the centuries-old Japanese rice trade and have made their way into modern day price charting.
It’s important to note that candlestick patterns aren’t necessarily a buy or sell signal by themselves. They are instead a way to look at market structure and a potential indication of an upcoming opportunity. It is always useful to look at candlestick patterns in context like any other market analysis tool and candlestick patterns are most useful when used in combination with other techniques. There are countless candlestick patterns that traders can use to identify areas of interest on a chart, where some candlestick patterns may provide insights into the balance between buyers and sellers, others may indicate a reversal, continuation, or indecision.
Reversal patterns are quite useful when used in context. Reversal patterns should form at the bottom of a downtrend or at the top of an uptrend. Otherwise, they are not a reversal patterns, but continuation patterns. Most reversal patterns require confirmation such as price move in the direction of reversal accompanied by appropriate trading volume. The reversal patterns can further be confirmed through other means of traditional technical analysis—like trend lines, momentum, oscillators, or volume indicators—to reaffirm buying or selling pressure. The patterns themselves do not guarantee that the trend will reverse. Investors should always confirm reversal by the subsequent price action before initiating a trade.
This study implements some of the most commonly used candlestick patterns in a context with directional movement indicator.

Reversal Candlestick Pattern With Trend IndentifierThis script help to identified popular candlestick pattern combined with trend identifier.
Most script only focus on criteria of the pattern. Such as how much the length of the body compared to previous candle etc.
Besides criteria of the candle, this script also considered the trend into the logic.
For example bullish engulfing is a bullish reversal signal, which is only valid in a down trend.
To identified trend, I'm using RSI. Normally, RSI less than 50 is considered a down trend, and RSI greater than 50 is considered up trend. In this script, you can customize the criteria of how much RSI is up trend and down trend.
Default value RSI >= 55 is up trend, RSI <= 45 is down trend.
Your feedback and suggestion is welcome.

Volume Patterns [SS]Hey everyone,
Been a while since doing anything with Pinescript.
Here is my iteration of a Volume Pattern identification, inspired by Bulkowski's work on patterns and volume.
The indicator aims to identify the 4 major types of volume patterns, these are:
Bullish Breakout Volume
Bearish Breakout Volume
Inverted Domes
Domes
Classification
These patterns are all assigned to a classification based on theory. For example, dome volume is usually bearish, inverted dome is usually bullish, etc. etc. However, in order to accommodate changing sentiments and volatility, I have coded logic into the indicator to assess for the actual sentiment associated with these patterns itself.
The indicator calculates the average return associated with each pattern, scaling the data into a percent return. It then has the ability to re-scale the target using the close price associated with the pattern at the time of pattern signaling, to calculate the target price and plot the target on the chart for you.
Additionally, it provides you with the following:
Labels to signal when a pattern has happened
A table that shows you the average returns associated with the 4 major patterns
Target lines with labels that visually show you the target price associated with the pattern, as well as which pattern they are associated with.
All of these things can be toggled on or off depending on your preference.
Customizing the indicator
In addition to being able to toggle the visuals on or off depending on what you want to see or not see, there are some minor customization abilities in terms of training the indicator to recognize the patterns and predict the TP.
The first one is the Training length
In the settings, you will see "Train", and the default is 500. This is the amount the indicator is looking back in history to learn the patterns and returns associated with them. This 500 is appropriate in most cases and on most timeframes.
Lastly, the Lookforward Length
The look forward length represents the number of bars forward you want to determine the returns for. It is defaulted to 10, but you can modify it.
So, if you are on the 1-Minute chart and have the look forward set to 10, then once a signal happens, the target price is calculated based on 10 minutes from the time of signal. You can increase this or decrease this based on your preference.
Longer look forwards can be good for swingers but should be used on the larger timeframes, shorter are good for scalpers but should be used on the shorter timeframes.
The indicator's use is incredibly simple, you'll pick it up in no time!
Hope you enjoy it and as always, safe trades!
Just an FYI for those who may have questions:
The indicator is open source. This means you are free to take it and modify it as you wish. You do not need to ask me.
Please read the description carefully, as 100% of questions I am asked about indicators are covered in the description. ;-)
Have a good one guys and gals! 🚀🚀🚀
Engulfing Patterns & Inside Bar at NWOGEngulfing Patterns & Inside Bar at NWOG:
This indicator is designed to detect and display specific candlestick patterns (Bearish Engulfing, Bullish Engulfing, and Inside Bar) when they occur at the New Week Open Gap (NWOG). The indicator provides tiny dots plotted at the top of the candle for each detected pattern, keeping the chart clean and minimal. Below is a detailed description of the logic and components:
Candlestick Patterns Detected:
Bearish Engulfing:
A Bearish Engulfing pattern occurs when:
The current candle’s high is above the previous candle’s high.
The current candle’s close is below the previous candle’s low.
This pattern signals a potential downtrend and is marked by a red dot at the top of the candle.
Bullish Engulfing:
A Bullish Engulfing pattern occurs when:
The current candle’s low is below the previous candle’s low.
The current candle’s close is above the previous candle’s high.
This pattern signals a potential uptrend and is marked by a green dot at the top of the candle.
Inside Bar:
An Inside Bar pattern occurs when:
The current candle’s high is lower than the previous candle’s high.
The current candle’s low is higher than the previous candle’s low.
This pattern indicates a period of consolidation and possible breakout or breakdown, and is marked by a blue dot at the top of the candle.
New Week Open Gap (NWOG) Condition:
The patterns (Bearish Engulfing, Bullish Engulfing, and Inside Bar) are only considered valid if the candles occur within or touch the range of the New Week Open Gap (NWOG).
The NWOG is defined as the gap between:
The Friday close (previous week’s closing price).
The Monday open (current week’s opening price).
If the signal patterns (Bullish Engulfing, Bearish Engulfing, Inside Bar) align with the NWOG, a tiny dot is plotted at the top of the candle where the pattern occurs.
Visual Representation:
Red Dots: Indicate Bearish Engulfing signals that occur at the NWOG.
Green Dots: Indicate Bullish Engulfing signals that occur at the NWOG.
Blue Dots: Indicate Inside Bar Breakdown signals that occur at the NWOG.
Each dot is plotted as a tiny circle at the top of the candle, ensuring the chart remains minimal and clean without cluttering the view.
Key Features:
Minimal and Clean: The indicator only plots tiny dots at the top of the candles for the detected signals. No additional lines, labels, or other visual elements clutter the chart.
Customizable Signal Colors: Users can customize the colors for each signal type (Bearish Engulfing, Bullish Engulfing, and Inside Bar).
Alerts: Alerts are included for all detected patterns (Bullish Engulfing, Bearish Engulfing, Inside Bar) at the NWOG.
Alerts:
Bearish Engulfing Detected: Alerts when a Bearish Engulfing pattern occurs at the NWOG.
Bullish Engulfing Detected: Alerts when a Bullish Engulfing pattern occurs at the NWOG.
Inside Bar Breakdown Detected: Alerts when an Inside Bar Breakdown pattern occurs at the NWOG.
This indicator is helpful for traders who want to focus on clean, easy-to-spot patterns and trade based on market conditions near the New Week Open Gap (NWOG). The tiny dots ensure that only relevant signals are displayed without any distractions.
Custom Candlestick Pattern IndicatorCustom Candlestick Pattern Indicator - Buy Signal Based on Green Candles Breaking Previous Lows
Overview:
This custom candlestick pattern indicator is designed to highlight potential buy opportunities based on a simple yet powerful candlestick pattern. The indicator identifies green candles that break below the low of the previous candle. This combination may signal a potential market reversal or a bullish continuation after a pullback, depending on the market context. Traders can use this indicator to detect areas where prices may be bouncing from recent lows, indicating a potential buying opportunity.
Pattern Explanation:
The strategy underlying this indicator is a two-part condition that must be met before a buy signal is generated:
Green Candle: A green candle forms when the closing price of the current candle is higher than its opening price. This visually represents bullish momentum as buyers have taken control, closing the price higher than where it opened.
Breaking the Previous Low: The low of the current candle must be lower than the low of the previous candle. This suggests that, despite initial bearish pressure during the candle formation (which drove the price below the previous candle's low), buyers stepped in to push the price higher by the candle’s close. This pattern can signify a potential reversal or bullish continuation, as it demonstrates that buyers are overcoming initial selling pressure.
When the Pattern Occurs:
This pattern is particularly interesting to traders who look for potential reversal signals after a brief decline in price.
It may also work well in markets where pullbacks are common, as this pattern could mark the end of a retracement and the resumption of the bullish trend.
How the Indicator Works:
Green Candle: The indicator first identifies a green candle, where the close of the candle is greater than its open (close > open). This signals that the current period closed higher than it opened, which is generally a bullish sign.
Breaking Previous Low: The indicator checks if the current candle's low is below the low of the previous candle (low < low ). If this condition is met, it means the price dropped below the previous candle's low but was still able to close higher (green candle), signaling a potential reversal or buying opportunity.
Buy Signal: If both conditions are true (green candle + breaking previous low), the indicator plots a buy signal below the candle in the form of an upward-facing triangle labeled "Buy" in green. This serves as a visual cue for traders to consider entering a buy position.
Optional Previous Low Plot: For added reference, the indicator plots the previous candle's low as a red step-line on the chart. This helps traders visualize when the price has dipped below the prior candle's low, making it easier to spot instances where the pattern is forming.
How to Use:
This indicator can be used across multiple timeframes, whether you’re trading short-term intraday patterns or longer-term swing trades.
It works well in markets that experience pullbacks or minor retracements, as the pattern it identifies suggests a rejection of lower prices followed by a push higher.
Traders can combine this indicator with other technical analysis tools (such as moving averages, support/resistance levels, or momentum oscillators) to strengthen the buy signals and add more context to the trading decision.
Example Scenarios:
Reversal Signal: Suppose a market has been in a minor downtrend, and suddenly a green candle forms after a low that breaks the previous day’s low. This indicator would generate a buy signal, suggesting the downtrend may be losing strength and that buyers are taking control. This could be an early indication of a reversal.
Bullish Continuation After Pullback: Imagine a market in a steady uptrend experiences a temporary pullback. The price breaks the previous candle’s low, but the current candle closes higher (green candle). This buy signal could indicate that the pullback is over, and the uptrend is likely to continue.
Advantages:
Simplicity: This indicator relies on basic price action (green candles and lows) without requiring complicated indicators or oscillators, making it easy to understand and use.
Visual Alerts: The plotted buy signals and previous lows provide a clear, visual representation on the chart, simplifying decision-making for traders.
Versatility: It can be applied across different timeframes and asset classes (stocks, forex, crypto, etc.), making it a versatile tool for all kinds of traders.
Limitations:
As with any single indicator or pattern, this should not be used in isolation. It is important to incorporate broader market context, support/resistance levels, and other forms of analysis to avoid false signals.
The pattern tends to be more effective when there’s sufficient market liquidity and may perform better in trending or volatile markets compared to sideways or flat markets.
