Market Structure [TFO]The purpose of this indicator is to provide a simple approach to Market Structure. When price is closing over swing highs, we may categorize that as bullish structure; and when price is closing below swing lows, we may categorize that as bearish structure.
We can easily find swing highs and lows via the following built-in Pine Script functions:
ta.pivothigh()
ta.pivotlow()
We can pass in our Pivot Strength parameter to determine the size/significance of these pivots. The lowest value of 1 will validate a swing high when a given high is larger than that of 1 bar to the left and right of it. A pivot strength of 3, for example, would validate a swing high only when a high is larger than that of the 3 bars to the left and right of it, making it much more selective.
In any case, we can simply track the most recent swing highs and lows and check for when price through them. Enabling the Show Pivots option will mark all the swing highs and lows that are being considered for future structure breaks.
If the trend is bearish and we begin closing over swing highs, that would mark a Market Structure Shift (MSS). If the trend is already bullish and we are closing over swing highs, that would mark a Break of Structure (BOS), and vice versa for bearish conditions. MSS essentially signifies reversals in Market Structure while BOS signifies continuations.
Users may also create alerts for Any/Bull/Bear BOS or MSS. Simply create a new alert, select this indicator, and select the desired BOS or MSS criteria.

IPDA Standard Deviations [DexterLab x TFO x toodegrees]> Introduction and Acknowledgements
The IPDA Standard Deviations tool encompasses the Time and price relationship as studied by @TraderDext3r .
I am not the creator of this Theory, and I do not hold the answers to all the questions you may have; I suggest you to study it from Dexter's tweets, videos, and material.
This tool was born from a collaboration between @TraderDext3r, @tradeforopp and I, with the objective of bringing a comprehensive IPDA Standard Deviations tool to Tradingview.
> Tool Description
This is purely a graphical aid for traders to be able to quickly determine Fractal IPDA Time Windows, and trace the potential Standard Deviations of the moves at their respective high and low extremes.
The disruptive value of this tool is that it allows traders to save Time by automatically adapting the Time Windows based on the current chart's Timeframe, as well as providing customizations to filter and focus on the appropriate Standard Deviations.
> IPDA Standard Deviations by TraderDext3r
The underlying idea is based on the Interbank Price Delivery Algorithm's lookback windows on the daily chart as taught by the Inner Circle Trader:
IPDA looks at the past three months of price action to determine how to deliver price in the future.
Additionally, the ICT concept of projecting specific manipulation moves prior to large displacement upwards/downwards is used to navigate and interpret the priorly mentioned displacement move. We pay attention to specific Standard Deviations based on the current environment and overall narrative.
Dexter being one of the most prominent Inner Circle Trader students, harnessed the fractal nature of price to derive fractal IPDA Lookback Time Windows for lower Timeframes, and studied the behaviour of price at specific Deviations.
For Example:
The -1 to -2 area can initiate an algorithmic retracement before continuation.
The -2 to -2.5 area can initiate an algorithmic retracement before continuation, or a Smart Money Reversal.
The -4 area should be seen as the ultimate objective, or the level at which the displacement will slow down.
Given that these ideas stem from ICT's concepts themselves, they are to be used hand in hand with all other ICT Concepts (PD Array Matrix, PO3, Institutional Price Levels, ...).
> Fractal IPDA Time Windows
The IPDA Lookbacks Types identified by Dexter are as follows:
Monthly – 1D Chart: one widow per Month, highlighting the past three Months.
Weekly – 4H to 8H Chart: one window per Week, highlighting the past three Weeks.
Daily – 15m to 1H Chart: one window per Day, highlighting the past three Days.
Intraday – 1m to 5m Chart: one window per 4 Hours highlighting the past 12 Hours.
Inside these three respective Time Windows, the extreme High and Low will be identified, as well as the prior opposing short term market structure point. These represent the anchors for the Standard Deviation Projections.
> Tool Settings
The User is able to plot any type of Standard Deviation they want by inputting them in the settings, in their own line of the text box. They will always be plotted from the Time Windows extremes.
As previously mentioned, the User is also able to define their own Timeframe intervals for the respective IPDA Lookback Types. The specific Timeframes on which the different Lookback Types are plotted are edge-inclusive. In case of an overlap, the higher Timeframe Lookback will be prioritized.
Finally the User is able to filter and remove Standard Deviations in two ways:
"Remove Once Invalidated" will automatically delete a Deviation once its outer anchor extreme is traded through.
Manual Toggles will allow to remove the Upward or Downward Deviation of each Time Window at the discretion of the User.
Major shoutout to Dexter and TFO for their Time, it was a pleasure to collaborate and create this tool with them.

Bullish vs. Bearish Candle CounterFollowing an exhaustive analysis of the most recent 50,000 candles within a given currency pair, a notable equilibrium between bearish and bullish candles has emerged as a persistent market phenomenon. This equilibrium, indicative of the market's continuous endeavor to establish parity, has spurred the development of the following indicator.
The indicator meticulously scrutinizes the preceding 100 candles, promptly triggering an on-chart marker when either bullish or bearish candle counts surpass the threshold of 60%. This marker serves as an invaluable tool, providing traders with a potential signal for the initiation of a trend reversal.
As such, this indicator serves as a valuable asset in a trader's toolkit, offering insights into shifts in market sentiment and the prospect of emerging trends.
Key Features:
- Customizable Candle Count: Traders can set the number of candlesticks to be analyzed in the input parameters, allowing flexibility in their analysis.
- Bullish and Bearish Percentage: Users can define their desired percentage for both bullish and bearish candles in the indicator's settings. The indicator calculates the percentage of each candle type within the specified range.
- Arrow Signals: The indicator plots arrows above or below the current candle, indicating bullish or bearish conditions based on the defined percentage thresholds. A green arrow signifies bullish sentiment, while a red arrow denotes bearish sentiment.
How to Use:
- Adjust Parameters: In the indicator settings, users can customize the number of candlesticks to be analyzed, as well as set their preferred percentages for both bullish and bearish conditions.
- Interpret Arrows: The indicator generates arrows above or below the current candle, reflecting the prevailing market sentiment. A green arrow suggests a bullish bias, while a red arrow indicates a bearish bias.
- Trade with Confidence: Traders can use this indicator as a tool to gauge market sentiment and make informed trading decisions. It helps identify potential entry and exit points based on the chosen percentage thresholds.
Enio_SPX_Accumulation/DistributionThis indicator handles the same inputs used for classic Accumulation and Distribution indicators, but performs the calculations in a different way.
This indicator is used to compare the positive volume (up volume) and the number of advancing stocks against the negative volume (down volume) and the number of declining stocks.
This indicator only measures SPX market breadth (Advancing issues, Declining issues) and SPX volume (Up and down volume)so it is for use only with SPX, SPY or MES. It can also be used with ES, but data outside of regular trading hours is not provided, the indicator in those cases will print a block of the same height and same color as the last RTH bar.
When the histogram is positive or green, the bars change to a lighter color if the current bar is less than the average of the last 3 bars. A continued set of bars with a lighter color could mean that the trend is about to change.
When the histogram is negative or red, the bars change to a lighter color if the current bar is greater than the average of the last 3 bars. A continued set of bars with a lighter color could mean that the trend is about to change.
When the histogram height is low, could signal a choppy market (SPX).
The histogram can help indicate a trending market when the opening trend is maintained and the color of the bars does not change, for example, a solid green increasing histogram can indicate a bullish trending market, while a solid red decreasing histogram will indicate a strong bearish trend.
In intraday trading the indicator can signal if the SPX price changes are supported by volume and market breadth and also allows you to see when these changes or trend are weakening.
The change from green (positive) to red (negative) and vice versa should not be taken alone as a buy/sell signal but as a confirmation of signals from other indicators you trust.
Due to the great specific weight that some stocks have within the SPX price calculation, the divergences of this indicator with SPX, can be taken as warning signals, but should not become an element of trading decisions. . You could see a negative histogram while SPX is positive and vice versa.
Order Block v1Hello Traders :)
I am Only Fibonacci.
While coding this indicator, I examined many concepts and decided to blend them.
I took the method shared by most traders and added different perspectives and options.
First of all, you can choose how many order block regions you want to see on the screen.
Note: The levels displayed on the screen are the sum of bears and bulls.
You can also choose whichever you want to see, bearish or bullish.
You can specify the precision of pivot points.
Whether you want to select a zone with a body or a zone with a wick, you can see this in the settings.
You can extend the regions infinitely with the right extension option.
Breakout mode patterns [yohtza]This indicator detects three kinds of price action patterns:
ii - consecutive inside bars ( high and low inside of the previous bar), triangle on a lower timeframe
oo - consecutive outside bars ( high above the high of the previous bar and the low below the low of the previous bar), expanding triangle on a lower timeframe
ioi - inside outside inside, diamond pattern on a lower timeframe
Traders that trade these patterns are entering on breakouts above/below .When they appear in a trending market, they are good setups for both continuation and reversal swing trades. When they appear in ranging market, they are not nearly as powerful since most breakouts fail in this context. To achieve the highest probability, it is best to trade in the direction of the trend on the last bar in the pattern with a stop loss on the other side and going for a reward that is at least twice the risk.

For the math lovers
I started creating the ZigZag++ based on the MT4 calculation as I found it better performing than the tradingview inbuilt one. I have revised the calculation couple of times and now the final calculation is simple yet more accurate for my analysis.
First, I observe the market direction for the last Depth setting by comparing the rate at which high values reduce and low values increase. When the number of ticks set by Deviation is crossed and the last cross is more than the Backstep candles, then we have our ZigZag points.
These are the points we use in our Fibonacci calculation.
Checkout ZigLib below to use the same logic in your scripts.
Sample usage
This is a 4 Hour configuration with the default settings.
When the trend reversed, some key points I watch are 0.618 and 0.5. The market retraced back and formed the new point for the next ZigZag line on that level. This market behaviour happens quite often on these Fibonacci points. I would be looking for reversal or a break in this zone to know the next step.

This can be used to visually search for patterns based on day of the week.
Worm *Public*This Pine Script code is designed to create a custom technical indicator called "Worm" that helps identify trends in the market based on momentum. Let's break down the code and its settings:
Indicator Title and Overlay:
The indicator is named "Worm (Clean)" and is set to be overlaid on the price chart.
Input Settings:
The code defines various input settings, which can be customized by the user. These settings include:
Indicator Settings (e.g., Alpha, Gap)
Backtest Settings (e.g., HighlightCrossovers, ApplyNorm)
Color Settings (e.g., Buy Color, Sell Color, Wait Color)
Location Settings for displaying the indicator above, below, or at the price.
Toggleable Inputs:
These settings allow you to choose whether the momentum indicator should be displayed above, below, or at the price chart. You can also specify the colors for buy, sell, and wait signals.
Indicator Calculations:
The code calculates momentum using various formulas involving the source price data (e.g., open, high, low, close). Momentum values are stored in variables L0, L1, L2, L3, and lrsi.
It also calculates the Color values for the indicator based on certain conditions and user-defined settings.
Bcolor and Scolor are used to determine the color of the plotted indicator based on buy and sell conditions.
Bollinger Bands (BB) and Keltner Channels (KC) Calculation:
The code calculates Bollinger Bands (UpperBB and LowerBB) and Keltner Channels (UpperKC and LowerKC) using the source price data.
It also determines whether the market is in a squeeze (SqzOn) or not (NoSqz) based on the relationship between BB and KC.
Signal Generation:
Buy and sell signals are generated based on various conditions, including momentum values and the squeeze state.
The color of the indicator line is determined based on the buy and sell signals.
LagF Calculation:
The LagF variable is calculated based on certain formulas involving the L0Line, L1Line, L2Line, and L3Line values.
Control Color:
The Color variable is used to control the color of the LagF indicator line based on certain conditions.
Plotting:
The momentum indicator (Val) is plotted on the chart with the specified colors and style.
The LagF indicator (Worm) is also plotted with a dynamic color based on market conditions.
Alerts are triggered when buy or sell signals are generated.
Experimental Section:
This section appears to be left for experimentation and may contain additional code or features.
Overall, this Pine Script code calculates and displays a custom momentum-based indicator called "Worm" on a price chart. It generates buy and sell signals based on momentum and squeeze conditions and allows users to customize various settings, including indicator location and colors. The code is designed for technical analysis and trend identification in financial markets.
TrendLine CrossThis indicator "TrendLine Cross", is designed to plot trend lines so you can spot potential trend reversal points on the charts. The main function is to draw several lines on the chart and identify the crossings between these lines, which can be significant indicators for trading. The lines are based on different periods which can be changed in the settings tabs.
Let's see the characteristics of the trend lines:
_Low Line Color(Green Line): This line connects the lowest point of low prices in the "low_time" period with the lowest point of low prices in the "high_time" period. Indicates a possible short-term support level on the chart.
_Liquidity Up Line Color (Golden Line): This line connects the lowest point of low prices in the "low_time" period with the highest point of low prices in the same period. It represents a liquidity zone and an important resistance in the chart.
_Lower Line Color (Blue Line): This horizontal line connects the lowest point of low prices in the "LowerLine_period" with the lowest point of low prices in the "high_time" period. Indicates a possible long-term support level.
_Upper Line Colorr: This line represents a connection between the highest points of the "high_time" period and the lowest point of the "LowerLine_period". Indicates a possible long-term resistance level.
_Up Line Color (Red Line): This line connects the highest point of high prices in the "high_time" period with the highest point of high prices in the "LowerLine_period". It represents a possible long-term resistance level.
_Liquidity Down Line Color(Golden Line): This line connects the highest point of high prices in the "high_time" period with the highest point of low prices in the "low_time" period. It represents a liquidity point and an important support zone.
The indicator becomes particularly interesting when the lines make crossings. These crossovers could suggest a potential trend change in the market. For example:
Change from Bearish to Bullish: If the "long-term" line (black) crosses the "short- or long-term" line (green or blue) from top to bottom, it could indicate a shift from a bearish to a bullish market , suggesting the opportunity for long positions.
_Changing from Bullish to Bearish: If the "long-term" line (blue) crosses the "short-term" line (red or black) from bottom to top, it could indicate a shift from a bullish to a bearish market, suggesting the opportunity for short positions.
Generally speaking, crossings between these lines can be key points of interest for traders, as they can signal significant changes in price direction.
TREND LINES B/O By Vintage Trader_ The Analytical skillsThis indicator is based on trend lines breakout setup
382 Detector with ArrowsThis indicator searches for all 382 candles on the chart.
For a bullish 382 candle, it means that the body of the candle (open to close) are on the top 38.2% of the entire candle (including the wick). Such candlestick pattern displays a bullish pattern because the buyers are in control and pushed for higher prices at the close of the bar.
On the other hand, a bearish 382 candle, the body of the candle (close to open) are on the bottom 38.2% of the entire candle (including the wick). Such candlestick pattern displays a bearish pattern because the sellers are in control and pushed for lower prices at the close of the bar.
If a bullish 382 candle is detected, a light blue arrow will be displayed on the bottom of the candlestick.
If a bearish 382 candle is detected, a pink arrow will be displayed on the top of the candlestick.
Please note that these are only candlestick pattern detectors and are by no means bullish or bearish trade signals. An upward arrow does not represent any long trade opportunity and similarly a downward arrow does not represent any short trade opportunity. These are just visual representation of candlestick patterns. Please trade at your own risk.
Custom Candlestick MarkingsThis indicator allows you to filter candlesticks based on their body (the real body) and wick lengths. Specifically, it marks candlesticks based on the following criteria:
For Bearish Candles:
1. The close price is lower than the open price (indicating a bearish candle).
2. The difference between the high and the maximum of open and close is less than or equal to the specified upper wick length.
3. The absolute difference between the close and open is greater than or equal to the specified body height.
For Bullish Candles:
1. The close price is higher than the open price (indicating a bullish candle).
2. The difference between the maximum of open and close and the low is less than or equal to the specified lower wick length.
3. The absolute difference between the close and open is greater than or equal to the specified body height.
These conditions are used to filter and mark candlesticks that meet the specified criteria, allowing you to visually identify them on the chart. This can be useful for technical analysis and identifying specific candlestick patterns or conditions based on body and wick lengths.
Certainly, this indicator can help in identifying trends more easily. Specifically, by applying certain criteria based on the length of candlestick bodies and wicks, it becomes easier to visually capture changes in market trends and specific patterns.
For instance, you can use this indicator to identify candlestick patterns that match specific body heights or wick lengths. This makes it easier to detect signs of trend reversals or trend changes, and it can assist in making trading decisions when combined with trendlines or support and resistance levels.
However, it's common to use this indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and indicators. Confirming trends and pinpointing entry points often requires multiple sources of information and analysis. In investing and trading, thorough research and careful strategy are essential.
Smart money conceptThe indicator tracks the smallest movements of price action. It can monitor and analyze market context, attempting to identify trends within each time frame.
If a candle has its entire body above the previous swing high, it indicates a strong upward momentum. The market is leaning towards an upward direction. If the candle remains within the range of the previous swing high, it signifies weak upward momentum. The market is reluctant to move higher.
If a candle has its entire body below the previous swing low, it reflects a strong downward momentum. The market is leaning towards a downward direction. If the candle remains within the range of the previous swing low, it indicates weak downward momentum. The market is reluctant to move lower.
Stocks Seasonality GaugeThe Stocks Seasonality Gauge (SSG) Indicator is meticulously engineered to assist traders in discerning the historical and current performance trends of a particular stock, leveraging a blend of historical data analysis and Exponential Moving Average (EMA) computations. Through the lens of seasonality and recent price movements, this indicator provides a rich tableau of insights to anticipate potential future performance based on past behaviors.
Key Features:
Historical Performance Analysis:
The SSG assesses the historical performance of a stock, focusing on monthly returns over a specified number of lookback years. It calculates the average performance of the current month over these years, as well as the average monthly performance for the current year to date.
Recent Price Movement Evaluation:
Delves into the recent price movements by calculating the percentage price change over specific periods (21 days and 7 days), offering a glimpse into the short-term momentum of the stock.
Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Integration:
An EMA is constructed based on the recent price changes, providing a smoothed outlook on the stock's current month's performance. This EMA can be customized through the input parameter for its length, allowing for adaptation to various trading scenarios.
Visualization:
The indicator plots three crucial lines:
The average performance of the current month over the lookback years.
The average monthly performance for the current year to date.
The EMA of the current month's performance.
A horizontal line at 0% change is also plotted as a reference point to easily gauge positive or negative performances.
User-Defined Inputs:
Traders can define the number of lookback years and the EMA length for the current month's performance, offering a degree of customization to suit individual preferences and trading strategies.
Plotting:
The visualization is designed to provide a clear, color-coded representation of the historical and current performance metrics, aiding in the rapid assimilation of information and decision-making.
The Stocks Seasonality Gauge (SSG) is a sophisticated indicator for traders keen on harnessing the power of historical performance and recent price momentum to make informed trading decisions. Its blend of seasonality analysis and EMA application makes it a robust tool for anticipating potential market behaviors and aligning trading strategies accordingly.
Range Detector [LuxAlgo]The Range Detector indicator aims to detect and highlight intervals where prices are ranging. The extremities of the ranges are highlighted in real-time, with breakouts being indicated by the color changes of the extremities.
🔶 USAGE
Ranging prices are defined by a period of stationarity, that is where prices move within a specific range.
Detecting ranging markets is a common task performed manually by traders. Price breaking one of the extremities of a range can be indicative of a new trend, with an uptrend if price breaks the upper range extremity, and a downtrend if price breaks the lower range extremity.
Ranges are highlighted as zones and are set retrospectively, that is the starting point of a range is offset in the past. The exact moment a range is detected is highlighted by a gray background color. The average between the maximum/minimum of a zone is also highlighted as a dotted line and is also set retrospectively.
The range extremities are set in real-time, blue extremities indicate the range extremities were not broken, green extremities indicate that price broke the upper range extremity, while red extremities indicate price broke the lower range extremity.
Extremities are extended until a new range is detected, allowing past ranges extremities can be used as future support/resistances.
🔶 DETAILS
The detection algorithm used to detect ranges tests if all the prices within a user-set window are all within two extremities. These extremities are determined by the mean of the detection window plus/minus an ATR value.
When a new range is detected, the script checks if this new range overlaps with a previously detected range, if this is the case, both ranges are merged into one; updating the extremities of the previous range.
This can be observed with the real-time extremities changing within a highlighted zone.
🔶 SETTINGS
Minimum Range Length: Minimum amount of bars needed to detect a range.
Range Width: Multiplicative factor for the ATR used to detect new ranges. Lower values detect ranges with a lower width. Using higher values might return false positives.
ATR Length: ATR length used to determine the range width.
LTF Candle Insights (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The LTF Candle Insights indicator allows traders to explore the finer details of the market by integrating lower time frame (LTF) data into their current chart, offering a more detailed and nuanced view of price movements. This comprehensive visual tool is crucial for traders who want to investigate complex market trends without the constant need to switch between different chart timeframes.
In essence, this indicator overlays the smaller details into the broader frame, enabling traders to grasp the fine points while examining the larger market picture.
█ How It Works
The LTF Candle Insights indicator easily puts LTF candles onto the current chart, allowing traders to see both the current timeframe and the chosen lower timeframe candles at the same time. This dual view helps traders see the main market trends and important price levels, helping them get a better understanding of the little details and complexities of the market.

Barbwire [yohtza]This is an indicator that helps price action traders in determining when the market is in tight trading range.
Barbwire rules
The conditions for tight trading range are very simple. There has to be at least one doji (body is less than half size of the bars range from high to low) bar in the last three bars and there has to be lots of overlap between those bars. To quantify overlap indicator looks for bars that pull back 50% or more of the previous bars range and current bars that have 50% level touching the previous bar.
How to use this indicator?
For most traders it is best to avoid barbwire, only skilled and experienced traders who understand limit order trading can keep trading in these market conditions and still make money. So in simple terms it is a no trade zone and waiting for market to start trending again is most beneficial and greatly improves odds of achieving profitability and better trading results.
The term barbwire can be found in the books of Dr. Al Brooks which were the inspiration for creation of this indicator and are a great read for aspiring price action traders.
Momentum Memory Indicator
The Momentum Memory Indicator (MMI) is a custom tool designed to predict future price movements based on the historical momentum of an asset. By calculating the Rate of Change (ROC) and then averaging it over a specified "memory" period, the MMI provides a prediction that reflects both recent and slightly older momentum data. The prediction is visualized as a histogram, with colors indicating the direction of the momentum.
**Parameters:**
1. **Rate of Change Period (ROC Period):** This parameter sets the period for the Rate of Change calculation, which measures the momentum of the asset. The default value is 14.
2. **Memory Period:** This parameter determines the period over which the average momentum is calculated. By considering momentum over this "memory" period, the indicator aims to provide a more stable and reliable prediction. The default value is 5.
**Logic:**
1. **Rate of Change (Momentum):** The ROC is calculated based on the asset's closing prices over the specified ROC period. It provides a measure of how much the price has changed over that period, indicating momentum.
2. **Average Momentum:** The average momentum is calculated by taking a simple moving average (SMA) of the ROC values over the memory period. This smoothens out the momentum data and provides a more stable value for prediction.
3. **Prediction:** The prediction is calculated by adjusting the current closing price based on the average momentum. This gives an estimate of where the price might be in the next period, assuming the momentum continues.
4. **Prediction Color:** The color of the prediction histogram is determined by the direction of the average momentum. A positive momentum results in a green histogram, while a negative momentum results in a red histogram.

Liquidity Spike PoolThe “Liquidity Pools” indicator is a tool for market analysts that stands out for its ability to clearly project the intricate zones of manipulation present in financial markets. These crucial territories emerge when supply or demand takes over, resulting in long shadows (wicks) on the chart candles. Imagine these regions as "magnets" for prices, as they represent authentic "liquidity pools" where the flow of money into the market is significantly concentrated. But the value of the indicator goes beyond this simple visualization: these zones, when identified and interpreted correctly, can play a crucial role for traders looking for profitable entry points. They can mutate into important bastions of support or resistance, providing traders with key anchor points to make informed decisions within their trading strategies.
A key aspect to consider is the importance of different time frames in analyzing markets. Larger time frames, such as daily or 4h, tend to host larger and more relevant liquidity zones. Therefore, a successful strategy might involve identifying these areas of manipulation over longer time frames through the use of this indicator, and then applying these findings to shorter time frames. This approach allows you to turn manipulation zones into crucial reference points that merit constant surveillance while making trading decisions on shorter time frames.
The indicator uses color to convey information clearly and effectively:
- Dark blue lines highlight candles with significant upper wick, signaling the possible presence of an important manipulation area in the considered area.
- Dark red lines are reserved for sizable candlesticks with significant upper wick, emphasizing situations that are particularly relevant to traders.
- Dark gray lines highlight candles with significant lower wick, providing a valuable indication of manipulation zones where the bid may have prevailed.
- White lines highlight sizable candlesticks with significant lower wick, clearly indicating situations where demand has been predominant and may have helped form a liquidity pool.
This indicator constitutes an important resource for identifying and clearly displaying candles with significant wicks, allowing traders to distinguish between ordinary market conditions and circumstances particularly relevant to their trading strategies. Thanks to the distinctive colors of the lines, the indicator offers intuitive visual guidance, allowing traders to make more informed decisions while carrying out their analyses.
