Adjustable Vertical LinesThe script provides an indicator which will plot lines - 15 min, 30 min and 60 min. You can customize the time intervals and go to as low as one minute, but I found the 15-minute and 30-minute intervals works best for me when trying to find setups, and the lower time-frame intervals, is just pointless to use if you're not scalping on the seconds timeframe.
You can customize inputs for the line style. Line thickness, colour, etc.
I've seen this work using the OBR theory and applying it to the one-minute candle then looking for other confluences like order blocks, or breakers, FVGs, BOS/CHoC for further confirmation for scalping. It's important to backtest though and see for yourself.
Thanks for the boost.

[Kpt-Ahab] Poor Mans Orderflow SimulatorScript Description – Poor Mans Orderflow Simulator
Purpose of the Script
This script simulates a simplified order flow approach ("Poor Man's Orderflow") without access to actual Bid/Ask data. The goal is to detect, quantify, and visualize patterns such as absorption, impulsive moves, and structured re-entry behaviors.
Calculation Logic
Absorption Candles
A candle is classified as "absorption" if:
The ratio of body size to full candle range is below a defined threshold,
Volume is significantly higher than the average of the last N periods,
The candle direction is negative (for long absorption) or positive (for short absorption).
These conditions define a candle with high activity but minimal price movement in the respective direction.
Impulse Candles
A candle is classified as "impulse" if:
The body-to-range ratio is high (indicating a strong directional move),
Volume exceeds the average significantly,
The price closes in the direction of the candle body (bullish or bearish).
Additionally, the average range of previous candles serves as a minimum benchmark for the impulse.
Cluster Detection
A cluster is detected when:
A minimum number of absorption candles is counted within a defined lookback period,
Either the long or short version of the absorption logic is used,
The result is a binary condition: cluster active or inactive.
Entry Signals (Re-entry)
An entry signal is generated when:
One or more absorption candles occurred in the last two bars,
A pullback against the direction of absorption occurs,
The current candle shows a directional move confirmed by a close in the expected direction.
These re-entry signals are evaluated separately for long and short scenarios.
Cluster-Confirmed Signals
A separate signal is generated when a valid re-entry setup occurs while a cluster is active. This represents a combined logic condition.
Alert Logic
The script provides a multi-layer alert framework:
Signal selection (Alertmode):
The user defines which signal type should trigger an alert (e.g. re-entry only, cluster only, combination, or impulse).
Optional filter (Filtermode):
A secondary filter limits alerts to cases where an additional condition (e.g. absorption cluster) is active.
Signal output:
As a simple binary value (+1 / –1) for classic alerts,
Or via an encoded Multibit signal, compatible with other modules in the djmad ecosystem.
These alerts are intended for integration with external systems or for use within platform-native visual or automation features.

Supply/Demand Zones + Engulfment-based ExecutionSupply/Demand Zones + Engulfment-Based Execution
Strategy Overview
This strategy combines institutional trading concepts—supply/demand zones and engulfing candle patterns—to generate high-probability long and short trade setups. The system uses aggregated price action to identify potential reversal zones and confirms entries with engulfing candle patterns, ensuring trades are only taken when market structure shows commitment in the direction of the trade.
Core Concepts
• Supply & Demand Zones: These are automatically detected by analyzing aggregated bullish and bearish candle structures over user-defined intervals. Supply zones are formed after bearish continuation patterns; demand zones appear after bullish continuation patterns.
• Engulfing Entries: Once price enters a zone, the strategy waits for a bullish engulfing pattern (in a demand zone) or a bearish engulfing pattern (in a supply zone) before executing a trade. This adds confirmation and reduces false signals.
• Risk Management: Stop-loss is placed at the low (for long trades) or high (for short trades) of the engulfed candle. Take-profit can be calculated using a fixed R-multiple (risk-to-reward ratio) or a user-defined target price.
Key Features
Fully customizable aggregation factor for zone detection
Visual zone boxes, entry/SL/TP boxes, and engulfing pattern labels
Optional removal of mitigated zones for cleaner charting
Configurable trade mode (Long only, Short only, or Both)
Support for trading sessions and date filtering
Alerts for price entering supply or demand zones
How to Use
Select Aggregation Factor: Choose how many candles to group together for identifying key zones (e.g., 4x timeframe).
Enable Zones: Turn on supply and/or demand zones as needed.
Set Execution Parameters:
– Choose R-multiple (e.g., 2:1 risk-reward)
– Or use a fixed take-profit price
Define Trade Time Window:
– Set the date and time ranges to restrict execution
– Use Start Hour and End Hour to limit trades to specific sessions (e.g., London/New York)
Run on Desired Timeframe: Typically used on 15m–4H charts, depending on your strategy and the asset’s volatility.
Ideal For
• Traders using Smart Money Concepts (SMC)
• Those who value high-confluence entries
• Intraday to swing traders looking for structure-based automation
⚠️ Important Notes
• The strategy requires engulfing confirmation within the zone to enter a position.
• This script does not repaint and executes trades on a bar close basis.
• Backtest results may vary based on session filters and aggregation factor.

Candle Count RSI📈 Candle Count RSI — A Dual-Perspective Momentum Engine
The Candle Count RSI is a custom-built momentum oscillator that expands on the classic Relative Strength Index (RSI) by introducing a directional-only variant that tracks the frequency of bullish or bearish closes, rather than price magnitude. It gives traders a second lens through which to evaluate momentum, trend conviction, and subtle divergences—often invisible to traditional price-based RSI.
💡 What Makes It Unique?
While the standard RSI is sensitive to the size of price changes, the Candle Count RSI is magnitude-blind. It counts candle closes above/below open over a lookback period, generating a purer signal of directional consistency. To enhance signal fidelity, it includes a streak amplifier, dynamically weighting extended runs of green or red candles to reflect intensity of market bias—without introducing artificial price sensitivity.
This dual-RSI approach allows for:
- Divergence detection between directional bias and price magnitude.
- Smoother trend confirmation in choppy markets.
- Cleaner visual cues using dynamic glow and background logic.
📐 How Standard RSI Actually Works (Not What You Think)
RSI doesn’t just check if price went up or down over a span—it checks each individual candle and tracks whether it closed higher or lower than the one before. Here's how it works under the hood:
1.) For each bar, it calculates the change from the previous close.
2.) It separates those changes into gains (upward moves) and losses (downward moves).
3.) Then it computes a smoothed average of those gains and losses (usually using an RMA).
4.) It calculates the Relative Strength (RS) as:
RS = AvgGain / AvgLoss
5.) Finally, it plugs that into the RSI formula:
RSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS))
⚖️ What Does the 50 Line Mean?
- The RSI scale runs from 0 to 100, but 50 is the true neutral zone:
- RSI > 50 means average gains outweigh average losses over the period.
- RSI < 50 means losses dominate.
- RSI ≈ 50? The market is balanced—momentum is indecisive, no clear trend bias.
- This makes 50 a powerful midline for trend filters, directional bias tools, and divergence detection—especially when paired with alternative RSI logic like Candle Count RSI.
🔧 Inputs and Customization
- Everything is fully modular and customizable:
🧠 Core Settings
- RSI Length: Used for both the standard RSI and Candle Count RSI.
📉 Standard RSI
- Classic RSI calculation based on price changes.
- Optional WMA smoothing to reduce noise.
- Glow effect toggle with custom intensity.
🕯 Candle Count RSI
- Computes RSI using only the count of up/down candles.
- Optional smoothing for stability.
- Amplifies streaks (e.g., multiple consecutive bullish candles increase strength).
- Glow effect toggle with adjustable strength.
🎇 Glow Visuals
- Background glow (subpane and/or main chart).
- Fades based on RSI distance from the 50 midpoint.
- Independent color settings for bull and bear bias.
🧬 Divergence Zones
- Detects when Candle RSI and Standard RSI diverge.
- Highlights:
- Bullish Divergence: Candle RSI > 50, Standard RSI < threshold.
- Bearish Divergence: Candle RSI < 50, Standard RSI > threshold.
- Background fill optionally shown in subpane and/or main chart.
📊 Directional Histogram
- MACD-style histogram showing the difference between the two RSI lines.
- Color-coded based on directional agreement:
- Both rising → green.
- Both falling → red.
- Conflict → yellow.
🧠 Under the Hood — How It Works
🔹 Standard RSI
- Classic ta.rsi() applied to close prices, optionally WMA-smoothed.
🔹 Candle Count RSI (CCR)
- Counts how many candles closed up/down over the period.
- Computes a magnitude-free RSI from these counts.
- Applies a streak-based multiplier to exaggerate trend strength during consecutive green/red runs.
- Optionally smoothed with WMA to create a clean signal line.
- This makes CCR ideal for detecting true directional bias without being faked out by volatile price spikes.
🔹 Divergence Logic
- When Candle RSI and Standard RSI disagree strongly across defined thresholds, background fills highlight early signs of momentum decay or hidden accumulation/distribution.
🔹 Glow Logic
- Glow zones are controlled by a master toggle and drawn with dynamic transparency:
- Further from 50 = stronger conviction = darker glow.
- Shows up in subpane and/or main chart depending on user preference.
📷 Suggested Use Case / Visual Setup
- Use in conjunction with your primary price action system.
- Watch for divergences between the Candle Count RSI and Standard RSI for early trend reversals.
- Use glow bias zones on the main chart to get subconscious directional cues during fast scalping.
- Histogram helps you confirm when both RSI variants agree—useful during strong trending conditions.
🛠️ Tip for Traders
- This tool isn’t trying to “predict” price. It’s designed to visualize hidden market psychology—when buyers are showing up with consistent pressure, or when momentum has a disconnect between conviction and magnitude. Use this to filter entries, spot weak rallies, or sense when a trend is about to break down.
⚠️ WARNING
- Not for use with Heikin Ashi, Renko, etc.).
🧠 Summary
Candle Count RSI is not just another mashup—it's a precision-built, dual-perspective oscillator that captures directional conviction using real candle behavior. Whether you're scalping intraday or swing trading momentum, this script helps clarify trend integrity and exposes hidden weaknesses with elegance and clarity.

Prev Candle Before Biggest Body (3-7am EST)This indicator automatically identifies and marks, for each trading day, the candle immediately preceding the largest open-to-close movement (in pips) during the key London session window from 3:00am to 7:00am EST (New York time). The largest candle is determined by the absolute difference between its open and close prices, measured in pips. The candle just before this “biggest” move is highlighted with a distinctive pink flag above the bar. This tool is especially useful for traders seeking to analyze pre-breakout price action or to identify key levels and setups that occur right before significant volatility during the early London session.
3 Bar Reversal3 Bar Reversal
This pattern is described in John Carter's "Mastering the Trade"
The 3 Bar Reversal indicator is a simple but effective price action tool designed to highlight potential short-term reversals in market direction. It monitors consecutive bar behavior and identifies turning points based on a three-bar pattern. This tool can assist traders in spotting trend exhaustion or early signs of a reversal, particularly in scalping or short-term trading strategies.
How It Works
This indicator analyzes the relationship between consecutive bar closes:
It counts how many bars have passed since the price closed higher than the previous close (barssince(close >= close )) — referred to as an "up streak".
It also counts how many bars have passed since the price closed lower than the previous close (barssince(close <= close )) — known as a "down streak".
A reversal condition is met when:
There have been exactly 3 bars in a row moving in one direction (up or down), and
The 4th bar closes in the opposite direction.
When this condition is detected, the script performs two actions:
Plots a triangle on the chart to signal the potential reversal:
A green triangle below the bar for a possible long (buy) opportunity.
A red triangle above the bar for a possible short (sell) opportunity.
Triggers an alert condition so users can set notifications for when a reversal is detected.
Interpretation
Long Signal: The market has printed 3 consecutive lower closes, followed by a higher close — suggesting bullish momentum may be emerging.
Short Signal: The market has printed 3 consecutive higher closes, followed by a lower close — indicating possible bearish momentum.
These patterns are common in market retracements and can act as confirmation signals when used with other indicators such as RSI, MACD, support/resistance, or volume analysis.
Usage Examples
Scalping: Use the reversal signal to quickly enter short-term trades after a short-term exhaustion move.
Swing Trading: Combine this with trend indicators (e.g., moving averages) to time pullbacks within larger trends.
Confirmation Tool: Use this indicator alongside candlestick patterns or support/resistance zones to validate entry or exit points.
Alert Setup: Enable alerts based on the built-in alertcondition to receive instant notifications for potential trade setups.
Limitations
The 3-bar reversal logic does not guarantee a trend change; it signals potential reversals, which may need confirmation.
Best used in conjunction with broader context such as trend direction, market structure, or other technical indicators.
Liquidity-Quant Execution Score (LQES)Liquidity-Quant Execution Score (LQES)
Precision execution insights made simple — your go-to score for market clarity.
What you see:
A dynamic line score plotted clearly below your chart that reflects the market’s execution strength.
Color-coded threshold bands —
The upper red band signals zones where caution is advised (potential bearish conditions).
The lower green band marks areas of potential bullish strength.
A shaded purple zone between the bands that highlights “normal” or neutral conditions.
Features:
Designed to give you a clear sense of market execution dynamics without complex numbers.
Adjustable input parameters allow you to tailor the sensitivity and timeframe to your strategy.
Includes fixed alert conditions to notify you when the score crosses key zones — so you never miss important signals.
How to use it:
Watch for the score crossing above the upper red line — this could hint at increasing market pressure to the downside.
When the score drops below the lower green line, it may suggest bullish momentum picking up.
Use the middle purple zone to identify calm or balanced periods — ideal for preparation or cautious trading.
Why traders rely on LQES:
This indicator translates complex market execution data into one straightforward, visually intuitive score — making it easier to spot shifts in liquidity and price action that matter most for smart entries and exits.
No need to second guess. Just watch the score, respect the zones, and integrate it smoothly with your trading plan.
VIDYA (Chande)This script brings you VIDYA – the Variable Index Dynamic Average, developed by Tushar Chande. It’s not your typical moving average. Unlike the standard SMA or EMA, VIDYA adapts its speed and smoothness based on real-time market momentum using the Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO).
Think of it like a moving average that gets faster during strong trends and slows down during sideways or choppy markets — just like how a smart trader would!
🧠 What Makes VIDYA Different?
Traditional moving averages use fixed smoothing, so they lag more during big moves or chop during weak trends.
VIDYA fixes that by adapting its behavior dynamically:
When momentum is strong → VIDYA reacts faster 🚀
When momentum is weak → VIDYA smooths out the noise 🧘
⚙️ How It Works (Explained Simply):
1️⃣ CMO Calculation (Chande Momentum Oscillator):
We look at the past cmoLength candles (default 9) and:
i) Add up all the positive price changes (gains)
ii) Add up all the negative price changes (losses)
iii) Use those to compute a normalized momentum score between -100 and +100
📌 CMO = (Gains - Losses) / (Gains + Losses)
• This gives us a momentum reading that powers the next step.
2️⃣ Dynamic Alpha Smoothing:
• We convert the absolute value of the CMO into an alpha — this is the "speed" of the VIDYA.
📌 Higher momentum = higher alpha → faster response
📌 Lower momentum = lower alpha → smoother behavior
3️⃣ VIDYA Formula:
• Finally, we apply the smoothing:
📌 VIDYA = α × Price + (1 - α) × Previous VIDYA
• This equation continuously adapts to market behavior — trending or ranging.
📊 What’s Plotted?
🟠 The VIDYA Line:
A smooth, responsive line plotted on your price chart that adjusts in real-time with price momentum.
🔎 How to Use It:
✅ Use it like a moving average, but smarter:
• Price > VIDYA and rising → Trend is likely up
• Price < VIDYA and falling → Trend is likely down
• Flat VIDYA = Possible consolidation or sideways market
✅ Combine with:
• Breakout strategies (VIDYA confirms momentum)
• Reversal entries (look for price crossing VIDYA)
• Volatility filters (ignore signals when VIDYA flattens)
🧪 Bonus Tip:
Pair this with a volume indicator (like my Volume Confirmation Bars or Volume Strength Highlight) to confirm whether momentum is backed by real participation or just a fakeout.
📩 Want alerts, dual-timeframe overlays, or VIDYA with other base inputs (like typical price or HLC3)? Let me know — happy to expand this for your setup!
Stay adaptive, not reactive — trade smarter with VIDYA! 🧠📉📈
Volume Strength HighlightThis simple script helps you quickly see when volume is strong or weak on the chart — it highlights the candles based on how the current volume compares to the recent average 📊
🔍 Here's what it does:
Calculates a 20-bar average volume
Marks candles green or red if volume is much higher than average (more than 1.5x)
Marks candles gray if volume is very low (less than 0.5x the average)
Normal candles stay unchanged
You can also turn on a basic volume plot in a separate panel if you want to compare visually (just toggle it in settings).
⚠️ It’s not a buy/sell signal — just a helper to see when the market is waking up or going quiet.
Not perfect but works well with other indicators! Let me know if you like it or have ideas to add more 💡
Market Sleep ZonesHey traders 👋
This script shows when the market is in a "sleeping" or low volatility phase. I call it Market Sleep Zones 😴
It looks at the average price movement over a window (default 20 bars), and if the price changes are small (under a % threshold you set), it highlights that area on the chart with a soft green background.
💡 This can help spot moments when the market is quiet — maybe before a breakout or just moving sideways.
It also places labels to mark where these zones start and end, so it's easy to track.
You can change:
The window size (how many bars to look back)
The breath depth (how much price is allowed to move before it’s "not sleeping" anymore)
Not perfect, but helpful if you want to avoid getting chopped in low-volatility zones or want to prepare for when the market "wakes up" 😄
Let me know if you find it useful or have ideas to improve it!
Doganayy2 Buy/Sell & liquidityTrap🔧 User-Changeable Settings and Their Meanings
1. ✅ Is Wick Filter Active?
What does it do?: Controls the length of the candle wick.
Effect: If active, a long wick is considered a trap (a sign of manipulation).
2. 📊 Is Volume Filter Active?
What does it do?: Controls abnormally high volume according to the volume average.
Effect: If active, high volume candles are considered for a liquidity trap signal.
3. 📈 Is RSI Filter Active?
What does it do?: Controls overbought/oversold according to the RSI level.
Effect: If active;
If RSI > ?, a long trap is searched.
If RSI < ?, a short trap is searched.
4. 🔴🟢 Is Candle Color (Direction) Filter Active?
What does it do?: Controls whether the candle is green or red.
Effect: If active;
A red candle (selling pressure) is required for a long trap.
A green candle (buying pressure) is required for a short trap.
5. 🧮 Is Fibonacci Level Filter Active?
What does it do?: Checks whether the price has reached important Fibonacci levels.
Effect: If active;
For a long trap, the price must rise above the Fibo level.
For a short trap, the price must fall below the Fibo level.
6. 📏 Is ATR Filter Active?
What does it do?: Checks whether there is sufficient deviation in the price according to the ATR.
Effect: If active;
A trap signal is given according to whether the price has moved too far from the ATR.
📌 As a result:
As these filters are activated, the system's long/short trap detection becomes tighter and produces fewer but more reliable signals. If you close the filters, you will receive more signals, but reliability may decrease.
Purpose of the indicator: To present buy/sell opportunities by detecting liquidity traps.

Hide Current Bara lightweight overlay indicator designed to hide the color of the active (unconfirmed) candle on the chart.
Key Features:
Purpose: Hide the color of the currently forming bar (i.e., the active candle) on the price chart.
Psychological Benefit of Hiding the Active Candle’s Color
Hiding the color of the active candle can have notable psychological benefits for traders:
Reduction of Bias: The color of a forming candle often fluctuates as prices move up and down during its formation. This can trigger emotional responses such as fear or greed. By removing the color, traders avoid overreacting to incomplete information and are less likely to jump to conclusions based on transient price moves.
Focus on Confirmed Data: Since only completed candles are relevant for most technical analysis, hiding the color of the active candle encourages traders to make decisions based on fully formed and reliable data rather than noise.
Improved Discipline: By not seeing the color of the active candle, traders are less tempted to enter or exit trades impulsively in reaction to price flickers. This promotes a more systematic and disciplined approach.
Minimized Overtrading: Visual cues like bright green or red candles can prompt hasty trades, particularly in fast-moving markets. A transparent active candle helps reduce the temptation to trade every minor tick, fostering patience.
In summary, by hiding the color of the active candle, this script helps traders maintain emotional neutrality and focus on confirmed price action, leading to better, more rational trading decisions.
9:15 Range with 0.09% BufferThis strategy is based on the first 9:15 AM candle for Nifty, which is considered a key reference point (also called the "GAN level entry"). It defines a range around the high and low of the 9:15 candle with a 0.09% buffer on both sides.
The upper buffer level acts as a potential resistance.
The lower buffer level acts as a potential support.
When the price crosses above the upper buffer, it signals a possible entry for a Call option (CE) or a long position.
When the price crosses below the lower buffer, it signals a possible entry for a Put option (PE) or a short position.
This approach helps traders identify early breakout opportunities based on the opening candle range, aiming to capture momentum moves in either direction during the trading session.
Shooting Star Detector[cryptovarthagam]🌠 Shooting Star Detector
The Shooting Star Detector is a powerful price action tool that automatically identifies potential bearish reversal signals using the well-known Shooting Star candlestick pattern.
Ideal for traders who rely on candlestick psychology to spot high-probability short setups, this script works across all markets and timeframes.
🔍 What is a Shooting Star?
A Shooting Star is a single-candle pattern that typically forms at the top of an uptrend or resistance zone. It’s characterized by:
A small body near the candle's low,
A long upper wick, and
Little or no lower wick.
This pattern suggests that buyers pushed price higher but lost control by the close, hinting at potential bearish momentum ahead.
✅ Indicator Features:
🔴 Accurately detects Shooting Star candles in real-time
🔺 Plots a red triangle above every valid signal candle
🖼️ Optional background highlight for visual clarity
🕵️♂️ Strict ratio-based detection using:
Wick-to-body comparisons
Upper wick dominance
Optional bearish candle confirmation
⚙️ Detection Logic (Rules Used):
Upper wick > 60% of total candle range
Body < 20% of total candle
Lower wick < 15% of candle range
Bearish candle (optional but included for accuracy)
These rules ensure high-quality signals that filter out false positives.
📌 Best Use Cases:
Spotting trend reversals at swing highs
Confirming entries near resistance zones
Enhancing price action or supply/demand strategies
Works on: Crypto, Forex, Stocks, Commodities
🧠 Trading Tip:
Pair this detector with volume confirmation, resistance zones, or bearish divergence for higher-probability entries.
📉 Clean, minimal, and non-repainting — designed for traders who value accuracy over noise.

Scans for four major candlestick reversal patterns:
Harami
Engulfing
Morning/Evening Star
Piercing Line/Dark Cloud Cover
Underlying logic assumes that, at a turning point, the dominant side (bulls or bears) often delivers a “final” push—either a last surge of buying or selling—before the reversal truly takes hold.
Pattern Toggles
Each individual pattern can be turned on or off in the inputs.
Enable only the patterns you want to monitor to reduce chart clutter and speed up performance.
Volume Filter Toggle
On: Requires volume-based exhaustion or climax to confirm each pattern.
Off: Relies purely on price-action candlestick logic (no volume checks).
Grouped Labels & Confluence
When one or more patterns trigger on the same bar close, a single label is drawn:
Grouping multiple confirmed patterns on one bar increases confluence and signal strength.
Climax Volume × Multiplier
Adjusting this input affects signal frequency and conviction:
Higher multiplier → fewer signals but with stronger volume confirmation
Lower multiplier → more signals, each with a looser volume requirement
Alerts
Built-in alert condition for each individual pattern (bullish/bearish Harami, Engulfing, Star, Piercing, Dark Cloud Cover), so you can receive real-time notifications whenever a confirmation occurs.

Liquidity Sweep Candlestick Pattern with MA Filter📌 Liquidity Sweep Candlestick Pattern with MA Filter
This custom indicator detects liquidity sweep candlestick patterns—price action events where the market briefly breaks a previous candle’s high or low to trap traders—paired with optional filters such as moving averages, color change candles, and strictness rules for better signal accuracy.
🔍 What is a Liquidity Sweep?
A liquidity sweep occurs when the price briefly breaks the high or low of a previous candle and then reverses direction. These events often occur around key support/resistance zones and are used by institutional traders to trap retail positions before moving the price in the intended direction.
🟢 Bullish Liquidity Sweep Criteria
The current candle is bullish (closes above its open).
The low of the current candle breaks the low of the previous candle.
The candle closes above the previous candle’s open.
Optionally, in Strict mode, it must also close above the previous candle’s high.
Optionally, it can be filtered to only show if the candle changed color from the previous one (e.g., red to green).
Can be filtered to only show when the price is above or below a moving average (if MA filter is enabled).
🔴 Bearish Liquidity Sweep Criteria
The current candle is bearish (closes below its open).
The high of the current candle breaks the high of the previous candle.
The candle closes below the previous candle’s open.
