Custom Multi-Style Candlestick Chart (Arjo)

Custom Multi-Style Candlestick Chart
View the same market through different candle-types to spot structure, trend, and volatility more clearly.
This indicator lets you view price action using several alternative candlestick styles, including Traditional, Smooth, Hull, EMA-based, Median-based, Heikin-Ashi, and more.
Instead of changing charts manually, you can instantly switch between different candle types in a single panel, even for other chart symbols.
Different smoothing techniques highlight different aspects of market behaviour — trend clarity, volatility compression, swing structure, and momentum. This tool helps traders see those variations quickly without altering their main chart settings.
What This Indicator Does
1. Displays multiple candle-types
From the settings panel, you can choose:
Each candle type offers a slightly different look at the same market.
2. Uses the Same Symbol & Timeframe
The indicator always uses:
This makes it easy to compare the alternative candles directly with the price.
3. Includes Dynamic Support & Resistance
The indicator calculates:
These levels help traders see where the price may find pressure or relief during normal volatility.
4. Shows Trend Strength (ADX Background Color)
The background becomes lighter or darker depending on ADX strength:
This is only a visual guide and not a signal.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to Use It
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Choose a candle type from the settings.
Try switching between Smooth, Hull, Median, Heikin-Ashi, or other to see which gives you the clearest structure.
2. Compare the smoothed candles with the real price
Smoothed candles remove noise. They help to:
3. Use the EMA-20 + ATR bands
These bands help you see natural dynamic support and resistance zones based on both trend and volatility.
4. Background color helps understand trend conditions
When the ADX is low, the background becomes slightly shaded to warn of choppy or low-momentum sessions.
5. Use with other tools
This indicator is intended solely as a visual aid.
You may combine it with your own signals, patterns, or risk-management methods.
