Expansion Candles by Alex EntrepreneurHey people! Thanks for using Expansion Candles. I designed this tool to help me identify price runs (expansions) based on consecutive bullish or bearish candle closes and then trade continuations on the lower timeframes. Here's what makes it awesome:
How Does It Work?
An “expansion” is confirmed after multiple closes above the previous candle’s high (in the bull case) or below the previous candle’s low (in the bear case) while also having a higher candle low than the previous candle (in the bull case) or having lower candle high that the previous candle (in the bear case). After an expansion is confirmed, then the indicator will be displayed on the next candle.
You can set the number of required candle closes that confirm an “expansion” by increasing or decreasing the "Required Candles For Valid Expansion" setting.
An expansion will continue until an “invalidation” event occurs this will cause the indicator to stop displaying.
This “invalidation” can either be a lower candle low than the previous candle (in the bull case) and a higher candle high than the previous candle (in the bear case), or a close below the previous candle’s low (in the bull case) or a close above the previous candle’s high (in the bear case).
You can choose whether you want to use candle highs and lows as invalidation or candle closes as invalidation by changing the “Invalidation Type” setting to either “Wick” or “Candle Close”.
Key Features
Price Run Detection : Identify when price is expanding through consecutive bullish or bearish candle closes. You can chose whether a wick or opposite candle close finishes the run.
Timeframe Selection : Select your preferred timeframe for expansion candles and then view the indicator on lower timeframes for precise continuation entries.
Custom Display Options : Tailor the way expansions are shown on your chart. Choose your bullish and bearish colours and then display expansions as coloured candles, background colours, boxes, or arrows.
Sensitivity Adjustment : Adjust the indicator's sensitivity by changing the number of "Required Candles For Valid Expansion" to suit your analysis.
Set Alerts : Detect new bullish or bearish expansions in your favourite instruments with customisable alerts.
Best,
Alex Entrepreneur

ICT Immediate Rebalance Toolkit [LuxAlgo]The ICT Immediate Rebalance Toolkit is a comprehensive suite of tools crafted to aid traders in pinpointing crucial trading zones and patterns within the market.
The ICT Immediate Rebalance, although frequently overlooked, emerges as one of ICT's most influential concepts, particularly when considered within a specific context. The toolkit integrates commonly used price action tools to be utilized in conjunction with the Immediate Rebalance patterns, enriching the capacity to discern context for improved trading decisions.
The ICT Immediate Rebalance Toolkit encompasses the following Price Action components:
ICT Immediate Rebalance
Buyside/Sellside Liquidity
Order Blocks & Breaker Blocks
Liquidity Voids
ICT Macros
🔶 USAGE
🔹 ICT Immediate Rebalance
What is an Immediate Rebalance?
Immediate rebalances, a concept taught by ICT, hold significant importance in decision-making. To comprehend the concept of immediate rebalance, it's essential to grasp the notion of the fair value gap. A fair value gap arises from market inefficiencies or imbalances, whereas an immediate rebalance leaves no gap, no inefficiencies, or no imbalances that the price would need to return to.
Rule of Thumb
After an immediate rebalance, the expectation is for two extension candles to follow; otherwise, the immediate rebalance is considered failed. It's important to highlight that both failed and successful immediate rebalances, when considered within a context, are significant signatures in trading.
Immediate rebalances can occur anywhere and in any timeframe.
🔹 Buyside/Sellside Liquidity
In the context of Inner Circle Trader's teachings, liquidity primarily refers to the presence of stop losses or pending orders, that indicate concentrations of buy or sell orders at specific price levels. Institutional traders, like banks and large financial entities, frequently aim for these liquidity levels or pools to accumulate or distribute their positions.
Buyside liquidity denotes a chart level where short sellers typically position their stops, while Sellside liquidity indicates a level where long-biased traders usually place their stops. These zones often serve as support or resistance levels, presenting potential trading opportunities.
The presentation applied here is the multi-timeframe version of our previously published Buyside-Sellside-Liquidity script.
🔹 Order Blocks & Breaker Blocks
Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks hold significant importance in technical analysis and play a crucial role in shaping market behavior.
Order blocks are fundamental elements of price action analysis used by traders to identify key levels in the market where significant buying or selling activity has occurred. These blocks represent areas on a price chart where institutional traders, banks, or large market participants have placed substantial buy or sell orders, leading to a temporary imbalance in supply and demand.
Breaker blocks, also known as liquidity clusters or pools, complement order blocks by identifying zones where liquidity is concentrated on the price chart. These areas, formed from mitigated order blocks, often act as significant barriers to price movement, potentially leading to price stalls or reversals in the future.
🔹 Liquidity Voids
Liquidity voids are sudden price changes when the price jumps from one level to another. Liquidity voids will appear as a single or a group of candles that are all positioned in the same direction. These candles typically have large real bodies and very short wicks, suggesting very little disagreement between buyers and sellers.
Here is our previously released Liquidity-Voids script.
🔹 ICT Macros
In the context of ICT's teachings, a macro is a small program or set of instructions that unfolds within an algorithm, which influences price movements in the market. These macros operate at specific times and can be related to price runs from one level to another or certain market behaviors during specific time intervals. They help traders anticipate market movements and potential setups during specific time intervals.
Here is our previously released ICT-Macros script.

Reversal Candlestick Structure [LuxAlgo]The Reversal Candlestick Structure indicator detects multiple candlestick patterns occurring when trends are most likely to experience a reversal in real-time. The reversal detection method includes various settings allowing users to adjust the reversal detection algorithm more precisely.
A dashboard showing the percentage of patterns detected as reversals is also included.
🔶 USAGE
Candlestick patterns are ubiquitous to technical analysts, allowing them to detect trend continuations, reversals, and indecision.
The proposed tool effectively detects reversals by using the confluence between candlestick patterns and a reversal detection method based on the stochastic oscillator, acting as a filter for the patterns. If a candlestick pattern occurs while conditions suggest a potential reversal then the pattern is highlighted.
The displayed candle coloring allows users to observe the reversal detection method, with colored candles indicating potential reversals.
Users wanting to detect longer-term reversals can use a higher "Trend Length" setting, this can however lead to an increased amount of displayed candlestick patterns.
To prevent false positives users also have control over a "Threshold" setting in a range between (0, 100), with values closer to 100 preventing candlesticks from being detected at the start of trends.
The "Warmup Length" serves a similar purpose, and aims to prevent sudden moves to be classified as reversals. Higher values of this setting will require trends to be established for a longer period of time for reversal conditions to be detected.
🔹 Dashboard
To evaluate the role of individual candlestick patterns as potential reversal signals relative to the proposed reversal detection method, a dashboard displaying the percentage of candlestick patterns displayed (that occur when a potential reversal is detected) over the total amount detected.
Hovering on the dashboard cells of the "Reversal %" column allows displaying the total amount of patterns detected.
🔶 CANDLESTICKS PATTERNS
This tool detects 16 popular candlestick patterns, each listed in the sub-sections below.
🔹 Bullish Patterns

Liquidity Grab Zones | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Liquidity Grab Zones Indicator! This indicator finds liquidity grabs in the current ticker and renders buyside & sellside liquidity grab zones. The retests and breakout of the zones are labeled, and you can set up alerts to get notified. For more information, please check the "HOW DOES IT WORK" section.
Features of the new Liquidity Grab Zones Indicator :
Renders Buyside & Sellside Liquidity Grab Zones
Retests & Breaks
Inverse Zones After Broken Feature
Alerts For All Features
Customizable Algorithm
Customizable Styles
🚩UNIQUENESS
Liquidity grabs can be useful when determining candles that have executed a lot of market orders, so you can plann your trades accordingly. This indicator lets you customize the pivot length and the wick-body ratio for liquidity grabs, provide retest & breakout labels, with customized styling and alerts.
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
Liquidity grabs occur when one of the latest pivots has a false breakout. Then, if the wick to body ratio of the bar is higher than 0.5 (can be changed from the settings) a zone is plotted.
These zones usually indicate areas of high market interest where price action may reverse or accelerate. Identifying these zones can provide traders with critical levels for entering or exiting trades. A breakout of these zones generally mean strong movements are inbound, while failing breakouts make these zones act like support / resistance zones.
The indicator also reverses the type of the zone after an invalidation (can be turned off from the settings). This feature helps traders identify potential reversals more accurately.
The zone width is set to the area from the wick to the body of the candlestick, which can be seen here :
⚙️SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Pivot Length -> This setting determines the range of the pivots. This means a candle has to have the highest / lowest wick of the previous X bars and the next X bars to become a high / low pivot.
Wick-Body Ratio -> After a pivot has a false breakout, the wick-body ratio of the latest candle is tested. The resulting ratio must be higher than this setting for it to be considered as a liquidity grab.
Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for Liquidity Grab Zone Invalidation.
Use these customizable settings to fine-tune the indicator according to your trading strategy and preferences.
Indecisive CandlesAn Indecisive Candle, often referred to as a Base Candle, is a pivotal element in technical analysis, particularly for identifying institutional supply and demand zones. These candles are characterized by their small bodies and long wicks, reflecting a balance between buyers and sellers, indicating a potential pause or consolidation in the market.
To calculate whether a candle qualifies as an indecisive candle based on the criterion that its body (the absolute difference between its open and close prices) is less than or equal to 50% of the total range of the candle (the difference between its high and low prices).
Key Features:
Small Real Body: Signifies minimal movement from open to close, indicating market indecision.
Long Upper and Lower Wicks: Show that both bulls and bears attempted to control the price, but neither succeeded, leading to a standoff.
Formation Context: Typically found at the end of a strong trend or within a consolidation phase, hinting at a potential reversal or continuation pattern.
Usage in Identifying Institutional Supply and Demand:
Supply Zones: When an Indecisive Candle forms after a rally, it can mark the onset of an institutional supply zone, suggesting that large entities are starting to sell, leading to potential downward pressure.
Demand Zones: Conversely, when this candle appears after a downtrend, it often signals the emergence of a demand zone, where institutions begin to accumulate, anticipating a price increase.
Trading Strategies:
Zone Identification: Use Indecisive Candles to pinpoint key supply and demand zones on your chart, enhancing the accuracy of your support and resistance levels.
Confirmation: Look for confirmation from subsequent price action or volume spikes to validate the presence of institutional activity before making trading decisions.
Risk Management: Place stop-loss orders beyond the wicks of these candles to protect against false breakouts or continued indecision.
Conclusion:
Indecisive Candles are essential tools for traders looking to understand market sentiment and institutional behavior. By mastering their identification and interpretation, you can enhance your ability to spot high-probability trading opportunities and manage risks effectively.

Length True Range BarColorOverview
The indicator prints different colors on the candles for pre-determined amplitudes in relation to the simple moving average over the average true range.
Calculations
The indicated value of the simple moving average in relation to the average true range is being used to restrict the color of the candle signal to its pre-determined amplitude.
How It Works
Supposing you have a strategy where there is a need to determine the size of the acceptable signal bar in relation to the average true range, as well as size your stop and target through this range. In summary, coloring based on the size of the amplitude due to the average of the ATR, provides the ease of identifying weak signals, where there will possibly not be a sequence of movement, or identifying stretched signals where it will possibly provide a correction movement. This way you can determine an ideal size range for your input signal. Ex: Color candle signal with size of ( Candle => 2* the SMA (ATR) and <= 3* the SMA (ATR).
Inputs
Valores
Period: To determine the length of the ATR
SMA: To determine the length of the Simple Moving Average
LengthMin: Minimum amplitude size factor
LengthMax: Maximum amplitude size factor
Traço: Coloring ATR

Note 1
The values of ATR, SMA and TR will normally be shown in the indicator header for a dynamic visualization of the values, and possible exceptions for candles signals outside the initially proposed factor can be compared.
Note 2
Codes made available in the PINE language reference manual were used to develop the indicator, therefore it is a practical code for trend following setup strategies not available in the community.

Untested Levels Dynamic Timeframes**WORKS BEST ON 30M TIMEFRAME**
This indicator, titled "Untested Levels with Timeframes" is designed to identify and visualize price levels within different timeframes that have not been tested recently. Here's a breakdown of its benefits and usage:
Identifying Untested Price Levels: The indicator helps traders identify support and resistance levels that haven't been tested for a specified period within different timeframes. This can be valuable because untested levels may represent potential areas where price could reverse or encounter significant movement.
Customizable Timeframes: The indicator allows users to specify different timeframes (e.g., 30 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, daily) for analyzing untested levels. This flexibility enables traders to adapt the tool to their trading style and preferences.
Visual Representation: Untested levels are plotted on the chart as rays extending to the right. This visual representation makes it easy for traders to identify and assess these levels at a glance, enhancing their chart analysis process.
Dynamic Management: The indicator dynamically manages untested and tested levels over time, ensuring that traders focus on the most relevant price levels within each timeframe. This feature helps prevent clutter on the chart and maintains the indicator's effectiveness.
Potential Trading Opportunities: By identifying untested levels, traders may uncover potential trading opportunities, such as entering trades near untested support or resistance levels or waiting for confirmation of a breakout or reversal at these levels.
Risk Management: Understanding untested levels can also assist in risk management by providing traders with additional context when setting stop-loss levels or determining the risk-reward ratio for a trade.
Overall, this indicator can be a valuable tool for traders seeking to enhance their technical analysis and identify potential trading opportunities based on untested price levels across different timeframes. However, like any trading tool, it's essential to combine it with other analysis techniques and thoroughly backtest it to assess its effectiveness within your trading strategy.
Single Prints - BrightSingle Prints - Bright is a Pine Script indicator designed to identify and visualize significant price levels based on the concept of "single prints."

Interpreting the Lines:
Color Gradient: The lines are color-coded to indicate their relative age. Red lines are the oldest, transitioning through orange and yellow to green, which are the newest. This color gradient helps in identifying how long a particular level has been significant.
Support and Resistance: Use the lines as potential support and resistance levels. Multiple lines close together indicate stronger levels of support or resistance.
Volatility Analysis: The number of lines within a gap can provide insights into market volatility. More lines indicate higher volatility and multiple potential reversal points within that range.
Trading Strategies:
Entry Points: Consider using the single print lines as entry points. For example, if the price approaches a support level with multiple lines, it may be a good buying opportunity.
Stop Loss and Take Profit: Use the single print lines to set stop-loss and take-profit levels. Placing stop-loss orders below multiple support lines can provide additional protection.
Trend Analysis: Analyze the overall trend and momentum in conjunction with the single print lines to make informed trading decisions. If the price is in an uptrend and approaching resistance lines, watch for potential breakouts or reversals.
Bulls And Bears [CHE]This Pine Script™ indicator, Bulls And Bears , aims to provide traders with potential entry points by analyzing market conditions. Here's how it works:
Calculation of Maximum and Minimum Values: The script calculates the highest and lowest values based on the high, open, close, and low prices of the asset.
Relative Strength Index (RSI) Condition: It evaluates whether the RSI value (with a period of 14) is above 50, indicating bullish momentum.
Bullish and Bearish Conditions: Based on the calculated maximum and minimum values, along with the RSI condition, it determines bullish and bearish conditions. If the current maximum value is higher than the previous maximum and the RSI condition is met, it suggests a bullish condition. Conversely, if the current maximum value is lower than the previous maximum and the RSI condition is not met, it suggests a bearish condition.
Super Smoother Function: This function is used to calculate a smoother moving average, reducing noise in the data.
Input Parameters: Traders can adjust the "Length Difference" and "Length threshold" parameters to customize the indicator according to their trading preferences.
Calculation of Super Smooth Moving Averages: The script calculates super smooth moving averages for both bullish and bearish conditions.
Plotting: It plots the super smooth moving averages on the chart, indicating potential entry points for bullish (green) and bearish (red) conditions.
Filling Areas: It fills the areas between the moving averages and the threshold line based on the conditions. Green filling represents bullish conditions, while red filling represents bearish conditions.
By using this indicator, traders can potentially identify favorable entry points based on market conditions, helping them make informed trading decisions.
Dead Simple Heikin Ashi Candles (HA Candles)Are you looking for a dead simple calculation of the Heikin Ashi candles as they are calculated in tradingview? Here it is!
I was looking through the library and I saw that many have come up with a lot of awesome scripts using heikin ashi candles. But, I can't find anywhere that had the straightforward simple version of how Tradingview calculates them. This was a problem for me because I realized after punching the formula in that TradingView doesn't calculate HA candles in the original way.
You might say they don't calculate them the "right" but, spoiler alert, there is no right in trading. You can only be rational or irrational as you make money or lose money.
This is useful to me for building out some portions of an algo that are not going to be compatible with the built-in function. It happens. So, if you were looking for it too, hopefully it saves you some time.
For reference the original calc of HA candles is:
o = (prev_HA_open + prev_HA_close) / 2
h = math.max(high, ha_open, ha_close)
l = math.min(low, ha_open, ha_close)
c = ohlc4
Trade Well.

Wyckoff Method IndicatorThe Wyckoff Method Market Cycle Indicator is a powerful tool designed to help traders identify the current market phase based on the principles of the Wyckoff Method. This indicator analyzes price action and volume patterns to determine whether the market is in an accumulation, markup, distribution, or markdown phase.
The Wyckoff Method, developed by Richard D. Wyckoff, is a time-tested approach to understanding market dynamics and identifying potential trading opportunities. By studying the interaction between price and volume, the Wyckoff Method aims to provide insight into the actions of market participants and the potential direction of the market.
This indicator automatically detects the key market phases as defined by the Wyckoff Method:
Accumulation: This phase occurs when large institutional investors are quietly accumulating positions, often leading to a period of consolidation with low volatility and decreasing volume.
Markup: Following the accumulation phase, the markup phase is characterized by a breakout above the accumulation range, accompanied by increasing volume. This indicates a potential bullish trend.
Distribution: After a significant price advance, the distribution phase emerges. It is marked by high volatility and increasing volume as large investors begin to distribute their holdings to the public.
Markdown: The markdown phase follows the distribution phase and is characterized by a breakdown below the distribution range, accompanied by increasing volume. This suggests a potential bearish trend.
The indicator plots the detected market phases on the chart using the following signals:
Green triangle pointing upwards: Accumulation phase
Blue triangle pointing downwards: Markup phase
Red triangle pointing downwards: Distribution phase
Orange triangle pointing upwards: Markdown phase
By utilizing this indicator, traders can gain valuable insights into the underlying market structure and make more informed trading decisions. However, it is important to note that the Wyckoff Method Market Cycle Indicator should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and risk management strategies.
The indicator provides two input parameters:
Lookback Period: The number of bars used to calculate the volatility and determine the market phases. The default value is 50.
Volume Condition Multiple: The multiple used to compare the current volume with the volume of the lookback period. The default value is 2.
Traders can adjust these parameters to suit their specific trading style and the characteristics of the asset being analyzed.
Please note that this indicator is intended for educational and informational purposes only. It does not constitute financial advice. Always conduct your own analysis and exercise proper risk management when trading.
Happy trading!
Engulfing CandlesThis script serves as the "Engulfing Candles" indicator in TradingView. Here's what it does:
- It identifies bullish candlestick patterns where 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, the current candle's close is higher than the previous candle's close, and the current candle's open is higher than the previous candle's open. It also identifies bearish candlestick patterns where the conditions are reversed.
- The indicator colors bullish candles in a specific color (Yellow Green) to visually highlight the bullish pattern, and colors bearish candles in another color (Purple pink) to visually highlight the bearish pattern.
- Additionally, it triggers an alert when either the bullish or bearish triangle shape appears, notifying traders with the message "A Southern Star Shadows pattern has appeared!"
High-Low DifferenceThe "High-Low Difference" indicator calculates the difference between the high and low prices within a specified period. In technical analysis, the high and low prices of an asset over a given period can provide valuable insights into the price volatility and trading range. By subtracting the low price from the high price, this indicator quantifies the range covered by price movements during the selected timeframe.
Understanding the high-low difference is essential for traders and analysts to gauge the volatility and potential price movements of an asset. A larger difference indicates higher volatility, implying greater price fluctuation within the chosen period. Conversely, a smaller difference suggests lower volatility, indicating relatively stable price movements.
Traders often use the high-low difference as part of their technical analysis toolkit to identify potential trading opportunities. For instance, a significant increase in the high-low difference may signal a breakout or increased market activity, prompting traders to adjust their trading strategies accordingly. Conversely, a narrowing high-low difference may indicate decreased volatility or a period of consolidation, suggesting potential price range-bound trading conditions.
Overall, the high-low difference serves as a simple yet valuable metric for understanding price volatility, identifying trading opportunities, and making informed decisions in the financial markets.

HTF Candle Consistency [LuxAlgo]The HTF Candle Consistency indicator tracks the most recent candle sentiment in up to 10 Higher Timeframe (HTF) and colors the user chart candle bodies based on the dominating sentiment. Users can weigh specific timeframes more significantly.
Additionally, the script provides an HTF dashboard that displays the current directional readouts for each selected timeframe to allow for an independent HTF analysis.
🔶 USAGE
Analyzing the movement and direction of higher timeframe candles can help filter out noisy variation from the price, and could be utilized to time trades better. When the majority of recent candles from the selected timeframes are bullish, the candle body will be colored in green, if this majority is bearish it will be colored in red.
Using the "Tricolor" coloring mode introduces a third coloring option, and is used when there isn't a clear sentiment majority across the selected timeframes, this option effectively allows for filtering out unwanted trends.
Users can control the variations to be filtered out depending on their chart timeframe and the enabled HTF's in the settings. Using low timeframes with higher HTF's will gray out a larger amount of candles, disabling these timeframes, changing them, or giving higher weighting to lower HTF's will allow for obtaining more dominance detection, and as such less grayed-out candles.
As seen above, the weight function allows for precise control over the specific elements being analyzed.
This indicator also features a dashboard for viewing each timeframe's direction at the same time. By doing so, it allows for better judgment on the specific elements composing the current HTF majority.
🔶 DETAILS
This indicator is only intended for Higher Timeframe Analysis, all the input timeframes should be kept equal to or lower than your current chart timeframe.
NOTE: This is necessary for data accuracy in most multi-timeframe indicators, and is generally a good practice to keep in mind.
As a reminder, the dashboard will display the timeframe in red text if a lower timeframe is detected. It is recommended to change or disable this timeframe for your analysis.
This indicator can support up to 10 timeframes, each with independent weightings.
NOTE: When a timeframe is disabled, the dashboard will no longer display that timeframe, and it will not be used in calculations.
🔹 Candle Coloring
Candle color can be selected between 3 modes.
Tricolor (Default): Changes the color based on a 3-part split of the possible data sum range.
Bicolor: Changes the color based on the sum being greater than or less than 0.
Gradient: Uses a 3-color gradient to determine the candle color based on the possible data sum range.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Higher Timeframes
Toggle: Enable/Disable the timeframe from analysis.
Timeframe: Select which timeframe to use for analysis. <- NOTE: This input reflects any custom intervals you have created on Tradingview.
Weight: Determines the Weighting (Multiplier) for the timeframe's direction.
🔹 Style
Color Mode: (More details above) Determines the color mode in use for coloring candles.
🔹 Dashboard
General Settings: Control Toggle, Location, & Size of Dashboard on your chart.
Orientation: Choose to display the dashboard in a "Vertical (default)" or "Horizontal" orientation to fit your style.
[EmreKb] Volume AnalysisI've noticed that many Pine coders calculate buy and sell volumes by considering the volume of a bullish candle as buy volume and the volume of a bearish candle as sell volume. However, I believe this approach isn't very logical, especially for candles with long wicks like pinbars.
Therefore, I've devised a method to calculate the buy and sell volumes of a candle by separately considering the sizes of its top and bottom wicks and its body. I distribute the volume of the candle equally among its top wick, body, and bottom wick sizes. If the candle is bearish, I consider the body volume as sell volume; if bullish, as buy volume. For the top and bottom wick volumes, since there's a two-way movement, I allocate half to buy volume and the other half to sell volume.
This indicator displays the sum of buy and sell volumes retrospectively up to the "lookback" value on the candle. You can set the lookback value to 1 to only visualize the buy and sell volume distribution of a single candle.
If this method has been used by another Pine coder, please inform me!
