Change Candle Color When 5 EMA Not ConnectedThis custom TradingView indicator changes the color of candlesticks to yellow whenever the 5-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is not "connected" to the current candle.
How It Works:
The 5 EMA is calculated based on the closing prices of the last 5 candles.
A candle is considered "not connected" to the EMA if:
The high and low of the current candle are both either above or below the 5 EMA, implying a significant deviation from the EMA.
When this condition is met, the candle color is changed to yellow to highlight this disconnection.
The default behavior of the script is to not display the 5 EMA line, keeping the chart uncluttered while focusing on the candlestick colors.
Usage:
This indicator is useful for scalping or short-term trading strategies, as it helps identify when the price has moved significantly away from the 5 EMA. A yellow candle could signal potential overextension or a possible reversal if the price is far from the EMA. Traders can use this as part of their risk management or entry/exit decision-making process.
Customization:
The indicator doesn't display the 5 EMA line, but you can modify the script to show it if needed by uncommenting the plot(ema5) line.
You can adjust the period of the EMA by modifying the ema5 period in the code, though the default setting is 5 periods.

Candle Body Support/Resistance [LuxAlgo]The Candle Body Support/Resistance indicator is a tool that provides Support/Resistance levels from high-volatility candles, a concept originally described by Steve Nison in "Beyond Candlesticks".
Users can define the candle body percentage used to set the detected support/resistance levels. Occurrences of price testing the returned levels are highlighted using user-customizable dots.
🔶 USAGE
Support/Resistance levels are drawn from volatile candles, that is candles having a body (range between opening and closing price) whose magnitude is larger than the Volatility Threshold , which is determined by the multiplicative factor of an ATR (Average True Range) using a user set length.
The level starts from the opening price +/- a percentage of the open-close range. Users can adjust the percentage of the candle body used as support/resistance levels respectively, with higher percentage values returning levels prone to get reached sooner by the price.
A test is considered valid when a wick passes through the Support/Resistance level while the closing price is not breaking it.
Two modes are included, Trailing and Historical , both affecting the displayed elements of the indicator, these are described in the sub-section below.
🔹 Historical
The Historical Mode will draw a separate line from every Volatile Candle . When this line is tested, a dot will be drawn.
In the above example, the red resistance line was tested once until a bullish volatile candle formed, which closed just below the resistance level. The resistance level was tested again, after which the newly created support level was broken quickly, and the price decreased. These levels proved helpful later, acting as resistance/support levels (illustrated by the extra manually drawn dashed white lines).
To prevent cluttering Support/Resistance , lines will be deleted when the line is mitigated and hasn't been tested.
When a Support/Resistance line reaches its Maximum Line Length , it will also be deleted when it has not been tested.
🔹 Trailing
When a new volatile candle of the same type (bullish/bearish) appears while the Support/Resistance isn't broken, this line will be updated with the values of the new volatile candle. This creates a trailing line and a less cluttered chart.
Unlike the Historical mode , a line will not be deleted after a while or when it is mitigated. Instead, the line won't be updated anymore. A new line will start from the next found volatile candle.
Using the same situation as the Historical Mode example, we can note the future significance of old support/resistance levels (illustrated by the extra manually drawn dashed white lines).
The user can switch between these 2 modes, each offering a unique perspective on the market. This provides a more in-depth examination of the market, enhancing the user's trading analysis.
Using a copy of our indicator while using both modes can also be helpful.
🔶 DETAILS
The Support level is the opening price of a bullish volatile candle plus a user-set percentage of the candle's body, while the Resistance level is the opening price of a bearish volatile candle minus a percentage of the candle's body.
The following example illustrates the ATR with the multiplicative factor (Volatility Threshold) where the body of Volatile candles exceeds the ATR limits. Changing the Volatility Threshold and ATR length gives users extra flexibility to adjust to their needs.
🔹 Max Line Length
When using the Historical Mode and the duration of a displayed level reaches the user-set Max Line Length value, the level will return to the last test or be deleted when it has not been tested.
🔶 SETTINGS
Display Mode: Display mode of the indicator.
Support %: Sets the distance of the Support Line from the opening price relative to the candle body.
Resistance %: Sets the distance of the Resistance Line from the opening price relative to the candle body.
🔹 Filter
Length ATR: Amount of bars for the calculation of the Average True Range.
Volatility Threshold: multiplicative factor of ATR.
Max Line Length: Maximum allowed duration/length (in bars) of a Support/Resistance level.

Probability of Candle Close Higher Than OpenThe "Probability of Candle Close Higher Than Open" indicator is designed to help traders assess the likelihood of a given candle closing higher than its open based on the previous candle's price action. It does this by calculating a probability score between 0 and 1 and displaying it on the chart, along with a horizontal line representing a user-defined probability threshold.
The indicator uses three input variables to determine the probability score:
lookback_period: This input defines the number of previous candles to consider when calculating the probability. By default, it is set to 2, meaning the indicator considers the previous two candles.
prev_high and prev_low: These variables are calculated using the highest() and lowest() functions, respectively, and represent the highest high and lowest low of the previous lookback_period candles.
prev_body: This variable calculates the absolute value of the difference between the open and close prices of the previous candle.
The probability score is then calculated based on the following conditions:
If the current candle's open price is higher than the previous lookback_period candles' highest high, the probability score is set to 0.1 (indicating a low probability of the candle closing higher than its open).
If the current candle's open price is lower than the previous lookback_period candles' lowest low, the probability score is set to 0.9 (indicating a high probability of the candle closing higher than its open).
If neither of the above conditions apply, the probability score is calculated using the following formula:
If the previous candle closed higher than its open, the probability score is set to 0.5 plus half of the previous candle's body (i.e., the absolute difference between its open and close prices).
If the previous candle closed lower than its open, the probability score is set to 0.1 plus half of the previous candle's body.
If the previous candle closed at the same price as its open, the probability score is set to 0.1.
Finally, the indicator plots the probability score as a label on the chart and a horizontal line representing the probability threshold.

Rally HTF Candle (Candlestick Analysis) Guaranteed WinnersRally Candle will signal when price is at the end of a Rally to the upside and thus entering a balance phase in the market (works on all markets)
This candle works very efficient when the market is either trending downwards or in range markets where price is at resistance. (i would avoid in uptrends but depends on the trader)
Also we can expect this candle to form when price is overextended as the theory of this script is when there is a turning point in momentum - this candle will appear and we can look long from this signal.
This candle will only work in Swing High areas and appear when below an moving average which can be changed in the settings.
This candle will work only work pn the HTF as it provides very good rexpectancy whereas the LTF has a slightly less expectancy (i will be publishing an intraday Rally candle)
This candle can be alerted to signal the Rally Candle when the bar is confirmed and not during.
The way i trade this candle is
1) Candle signal must be in probably area to increase efficiency.
2) Enter on the second candle after candle IS CONFIRMED
3) Set stop loss below Rally Candle or use ATR value
4) Trade with the trend ie only Bearish price action
5) This candle can catch extreme points in the market ie this candle projected when ETH hit aths $4841
6) Trading with a confluence along with the Rally is better than solely trading this candle
Please leave a comment.
If we get to 100 likes i will publish the script.
Volume Filtered *All Candlestick Patterns* [KT] Hello!
This script uses TradingView's *All Candlestick Patterns* indicator and includes a volume filter.
The frequency of each candlestick pattern is recorded in addition to the subsequent session's outcome - higher or lower close.
The requisite volume for the pattern is configurable; formations will not be distinguished when volume is less than the defined lower threshold.
For example, setting the volume threshold to 10% forces the script to identify candlestick patterns in which volume for the session (candle) is 10% greater than the volume moving average. All candlestick patterns with volume less than (1.10 * volume MA) are discounted.
The script counts the frequency of each pattern - the number of times the pattern occurred - in addition to the next candle's outcome.
Pertinent statistics are displayed in the table, which can be hidden.
I plan on working on the script quite a bit more; please comment a suggestion if you have one! What else should be included?
IU Three Line Strike Candlestick PatternIU Three Line Strike Candlestick Pattern
This indicator identifies the Three Line Strike candlestick pattern — a rare yet powerful 4-bar reversal setup that captures exhaustion and momentum shifts at the end of strong trends.
Pattern Logic:
The Three Line Strike is a 4-candle pattern that typically signals a sharp reversal after a sustained directional move. This script detects both bullish and bearish variations using strict criteria to ensure accuracy.
Bullish Three Line Strike:
* Previous three candles must be bearish (red)
* Each of these candles must close progressively lower (indicating a strong downtrend)
* The current candle must:
* Be bullish (green)
* Open below the prior close
* Completely engulf the previous three candles by closing above the first candle's open
* And make a higher high than the last 3 bars — confirming a strong reversal
* Once confirmed, a green shaded box is drawn around the 4-bar zone to highlight the pattern
Bearish Three Line Strike:
* Previous three candles must be bullish (green)
* Each must close progressively higher (indicating a strong uptrend)
* The current candle must:
* Be bearish (red)
* Open above the prior close
* Completely engulf the prior three candles by closing below the first candle's open
* And make a lower low than the last 3 bars — confirming downside strength
* A red shaded box is plotted around the 4-bar formation to emphasize the reversal zone
Why this is unique:
Most candlestick tools focus on 1–2 bar patterns. The Three Line Strike goes a step further by combining trend exhaustion (3 same-colored candles) with a full reversal engulfing candle. This pattern is both rare and highly expressive of sentiment shift, making it a standout signal for discretionary and algorithmic traders alike.
How users can benefit:
* High-probability setups: Filters out weak signals using multi-bar confirmation logic
* Clear visual cues: Dynamic shaded boxes and labels make spotting reversals effortless
* Cross-timeframe compatible: Works on intraday and higher timeframes across all markets
* Real-time alerts: Get notified instantly when a bullish or bearish setup forms
This indicator is a valuable addition for traders who want to capture key reversals backed by strong multi-bar price action logic. Whether you are a price action purist or a pattern-based strategist, the IU Three Line Strike gives you a reliable edge.

Engulfing Candle with Streaks and CountIdentifies Engulfing Candles + The Number of Consecutive Signals + Identifies 3rd/4th Consecutive Signals + Keeps Count of Most Recent Number of Signals as Decided by User.
- Have coded in the latest version 6
- This script allows the tracking of engulfing candles over a user defined amount of time (candles).
- The script will signal every engulfing candle and its consecutive corresponding number across the entire chart.
- The Engulfing Count box in the bottom right counts how many bullish and bearish engulfing candles have occurred over the number decided by the user.
- The Engulfing Signal that prints is triggered when an opposite next candle prints and the body is over 100% larger than the previous candle. It does not need to "fully engulf" the previous candle, the coding has an allowance for an "equal to and greater/smaller than" the previous close price. This allows for signals were the open of the engulfing candle can be equal to the close of the previous opposite, however the engulfing still must reach an over 100% sizing of the previous to print a signal.
- Where a piercing candle occurs and the open price is within the body of the previous candle, this will void the equation and no matter how big the candle is, it will not trigger an engulfing signal as I was only looking for true engulfing candles.
- The script keeps count of the same consecutive signals no matter the timeframe.
- It will print the consecutive number above or below the signal (depending if bullish or bearish).
- To assist with trend identification the 3rd consecutive signal will print blue, and the 4th consecutive signal will print yellow (or I prefer to use the term "Gold"). This can help filter out the noise on lower timeframes to assist to see where the momentum is going, or if there are signals going against the trend to try trick traders.
- Back testing I found the 3rd and 4th signals are uncommon on higher timeframes and tend to act as fake-outs before the trend reverses.
- Overall a good tool to add to your trend analysis, either for additional confluence or to assist with reversal identification.
- Colors are set as default, but everything can be changed by the user as I didn't want to limit its possibilities.
*** Please note that this script does not take into any consideration candle wicks. Although it can be used with Heikin Ashi it is somewhat unreliable. This indicator is designed to be used with standard candles only ***
RSI Candles with EMA byAuncleJoeThe Relative Strength Index (RSI) is one of the most widely used momentum indicators in trading. It helps traders assess whether an asset is overbought or oversold by measuring the speed and magnitude of recent price changes. Traditionally, RSI is displayed as a single line oscillating between 0 and 100, but this representation can sometimes make it difficult to spot trends, reversals, and momentum shifts effectively.
To enhance RSI visualization and usability, the RSI Candles with EMA indicator transforms the RSI values into candlestick charts, providing a more intuitive and dynamic way to analyze momentum. Unlike the traditional RSI line, this approach allows traders to observe RSI trends just as they would analyze price charts, making it easier to detect changes in momentum and trend strength.
Each RSI candle represents a specific period’s momentum activity. Green candles indicate that the RSI closed higher than it opened, signaling bullish momentum, while red candles suggest that the RSI closed lower than it opened, indicating bearish sentiment. This candlestick-style visualization helps traders spot RSI trends, breakouts, and reversals more effectively than a simple line chart.
To further refine momentum analysis, this indicator also includes an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of RSI. The EMA smooths RSI fluctuations and provides a clearer trend direction. When RSI candles remain above the EMA, it suggests strong buying momentum, whereas RSI candles falling below the EMA indicate increasing selling pressure. This combination of RSI candlesticks and an EMA line allows traders to better identify shifts in market sentiment and potential trend reversals.
Additionally, the indicator includes customizable overbought and oversold levels (defaulted at 70 and 30, respectively). These levels help traders recognize when an asset might be overextended in either direction, potentially signaling an upcoming reversal. When RSI candles approach or cross these thresholds, traders can anticipate possible changes in market direction.
This indicator is particularly useful for a wide range of traders. Scalpers and day traders can leverage it to quickly identify short-term momentum shifts, while swing traders can use it to detect potential reversals in multi-day trends. Trend-following traders can confirm bullish or bearish trends based on RSI’s position relative to its EMA, and mean reversion traders can use it to spot extreme conditions where price action might snap back.
By combining RSI candlesticks with an EMA filter, this indicator provides a more dynamic and visually intuitive approach to momentum trading. It offers clearer trend signals, better reversal detection, and enhanced decision-making, making it an essential tool for traders who rely on RSI-based strategies.
RSI/Stochastic With Real Time Candle OverlayThis indicator provides an alternative way to visualize either RSI or Stochastic values by representing them as candle bars in real time, allowing a more detailed view of momentum shifts within each bar. By default, it displays the standard historical plot of the chosen oscillator in the background, but once you are receiving real-time data (or if you keep your chart open through the close), it begins overlaying candles that track the oscillator’s intrabar movements. These candles only exist for as long as the chart remains open; if you refresh or load the chart anew, there is no stored candle history, although the standard RSI or Stochastic line is still fully retained. These candles offer insight into short-term fluctuations that are otherwise hidden when viewing a single line for RSI or Stochastic.
In the settings, there is an option to switch between standard candlesticks and Heiken Ashi. When Heiken Ashi is selected, the indicator uses the Heiken Ashi close once it updates in real time, producing a smoothed view of intrabar price movement for the oscillator. This can help identify trends in RSI or Stochastic by making it easier to spot subtle changes in direction, though some may prefer the unmodified values that come from using regular candles. The combination of these candle styles with an oscillator’s output offers flexibility for different analytical preferences.
Traders who use RSI or Stochastic often focus on entry and exit signals derived from crossing certain thresholds, but they are usually limited to a single reading per bar. With this tool, it becomes possible to watch how the oscillator’s value evolves within the bar itself, which can be especially useful for shorter timeframes or for those who prefer a more granular look at momentum shifts. The visual separation between bullish and bearish candle bodies within the indicator can highlight sudden reversals or confirm ongoing trends in the oscillator, aiding in more precise decision-making. Because the candle overlay is cleared as soon as the bar closes, the chart remains uncluttered when scrolling through historical data, ensuring that only the necessary real-time candle information is displayed.
Overall, this indicator is intended for users who wish to track intrabar changes in RSI or Stochastic, with the added choice of standard or Heiken Ashi candle representation. The real-time candle overlay clarifies short-lived fluctuations, while the standard line plots maintain the usual clarity of past data. This approach can be beneficial for those who want deeper insights into how oscillator values develop in real time, without permanently altering the simplicity of the chart’s historical view.

Wick/Tail Candle MeasurementsThis indicator runs on trading view. It was programmed with pine script v5.
Once the indicator is running you can scroll your chart to any year or date on the chart, then for the input select the date your interested in knowing the length of the tails and wicks from a bar and their lengths are measured in points.
To move the measurement, you can select the vertical bar built into the indicator AFTER clicking the green label and moving it around using the vertical bar *only*. You must click the vertical bar in the middle of the label to move the indicator calculation to another bar. You can also just select the date using the input as mentioned. This indicator calculates just one bar at a time.
measurements are from bar OPEN to bar HIGH for measured WICKS regardless of the bar being long or short and from bar OPEN to bar LOW for measured TAILS also regardless of the bar being long or short.
This indicator calculates tails and wicks including the bar body in the calculations. Basically showing you how much the market moved in a certain direction for the entire duration of that Doji candle.
Its designed to measure completed bars on the daily futures charts. (Dow Jones, ES&P500, Nasdaq, Russell 2000, etc) Although it may work well on other markets. The indicator could easily be tweaked in order to work well with other markets. It is not designed for forex markets currently.
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
Advanced Engulfing CandlesThere are a plenty of Engulfing candle detecting indicators but every single of them detect engulfing candles engulfed by only single candle but sometime it take more then one candle to engulf the previous opposite candle, which is also considered as engulfing candle.
So this script show both type of candles.
Type of Engulfing Candles
Normal Engulfing Candles
Candle engulfed by more then one continuous candle
I hope you will like it.

Volume-Blended Candlesticks [QuantVue]Introducing the Volume-Blended Candlestick Indicator, a powerful tool that seamlessly integrates volume information with candlesticks, providing you with a comprehensive view of market dynamics in a single glance.
The Volume-Blended Candlestick Indicator employs a unique approach of projecting volume totals by calculating the total volume traded per second and comparing it to the time left in the session as well as the historical average length selected by the user.
The indicator then dynamically adjusts the opacity of the candlestick colors based on the intensity of the projected volume. As volume intensifies, the candlestick colors become more pronounced, while low volume will cause colors to fade allowing you to visually perceive the level of buying or selling.
One of the standout features of the Volume-Blended Candlestick Indicator is its ability to identify pocket pivots. A pocket pivot is an up day with volume greater than any of the down days volume in the past 10 days. By highlighting these pocket pivots on your chart, the indicator helps you identify potential stealth accumulation.
In addition to blending volume with candlesticks and spotting pocket pivots, this versatile indicator provides you with an insightful table displaying key volume metrics. The table includes the average volume, average dollar volume, and the up-down volume ratio, allowing you to get a clear picture of buying and selling pressure.
Settings Include:
🔹Sensitivty Level: Normal, More, Less
🔹Volume MA Length
🔹Toggle Color based on previous close
🔹Show or hide volume info
🔹Chose candlestick colors
🔹Show or hide pocket pivots
🔹Show or hide volume info table
Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns.
We hope you enjoy!
Cheers.
Colorize Large Candles// I have written a Pine Script to re-paint large candles in a different Color.
// You can set the value that you want to use to define what is 'Large', and the script will re-paint any candle whose size is equal to or greater than your value.
// The number can be an integer (8) or a decimal (7.5).
// You can enable the size measurement to be done in one of two ways: 1) either on the Body (Open-to-Close); 2) or on the Wicks (High-to-Low) of the candle.
// The color of the re-painted candle can be set independently for Up and for Down candles. You can also set any Opacity that you want for these candles.
// I usually set the limit for the Visibility to the Second- and Minute-timeframes, as the Script produces too many Colorized Bars when using the Hour- or Day- timeframes.
Physics CandlesPhysics Candles embed volume and motion physics directly onto price candles or market internals according to the cyclic pattern of financial securities. The indicator works on both real-time “ticks” and historical data using statistical modeling to highlight when these values, like volume or momentum, is unusual or relatively high for some periodic window in time. Each candle is made out of one or more sub-candles that each contain their own information of motion, which converts to the color and transparency, or brightness, of that particular candle segment. The segments extend throughout the entire candle, both body and wicks, and Thick Wicks can be implemented to see the color coding better. This candle segmentation allows you to see if all the volume or energy is evenly distributed throughout the candle or highly contained in one small portion of it, and how intense these values are compared to similar time periods without going to lower time frames. Candle segmentation can also change a trader’s perspective on how valuable the information is. A “low” volume candle, for instance, could signify high value short-term stopping volume if the volume is all concentrated in one segment.
The Candles are flexible. The physics information embedded on the candles need not be from the same price security or market internal as the chart when using the Physics Source option, and multiple Candles can be overlayed together. You could embed stock price Candles with market volume, market price Candles with stock momentum, market structure with internal acceleration, stock price with stock force, etc. My particular use case is scalping the SPX futures market (ES), whose price action is also dictated by the volume action in the associated cash market, or SPY, as well as a host of other securities. Physics allows you to embed the ES volume on the SPY price action, or the SPY volume on the ES price action, or you can combine them both by overlaying two Candle streams and increasing the Number of Overlays option to two. That option decreases the transparency levels of your coloring scheme so that overlaying multiple Candles converges toward the same visual color intensity as if you had one. The Candle and Physics Sources allows for both Symbols and Spreads to visualize Candle physics from a single ticker or some mathematical transformation of tickers.
Due to certain TradingView programming restrictions, each Candle can only be made out of a maximum of 8 candle segments, or an “8-bit” resolution. Since limits are just an opportunity to go beyond, the user has the option to stack multiple Candle indicators together to further increase the candle resolution. If you don’t want to see the Candles for some particular period of the day, you can hide them, or use the hiding feature to have multiple Candles calibrated to show multiple parts of the trading day. Securities tend to have low volume after hours with sharp spikes at the open or close. Multiple Candles can be used for multiple parts of the trading day to accommodate these different cycles in volume.
The Candles do not need be associated with the nominal security listed on the TV chart. The Candle Source allows the user to look at AAPL Candles, for instance, while on a TSLA or SPY chart, each with their respective volume actions integrated into the candles, for instance, to allow the user to see multiple security price and volume correlation on a single chart.
The physics information currently embeddable on Candles are volume or time, velocity, momentum, acceleration, force, and kinetic energy. In order to apply equations of motion containing a mass variable to financial securities, some analogous value for mass must be assumed. Traders often regard volume or time as inextricable variables to a securities price that can indicate the direction and strength of a move. Since mass is the inextricable variable to calculating the momentum, force, or kinetic energy of motion, the user has the option to assume either time or volume is analogous to mass. Volume may be a better option for mass as it is not strictly dependent on the speed of a security, whereas time is.
Data transformations and outlier statistics are used to color code the intensity of the physics for each candle segment relative to past periodic behavior. A million shares during pre-market or a million shares during noontime may be more intense signals than a typical million shares traded at the open, and should have more intense color signals. To account for a specific cyclic behavior in the market, the user can specify the Window and Cycle Time Frames. The Window Time Frame splits up a Cycle into windows, samples and aggregates the statistics for each window, then compares the current physics values against past values in the same window. Intraday traders may benefit from using a Daily Cycle with a 30-minute Window Time Frame and 1-minute Sample Time Frame. These settings sample and compare the physics of 1-minute candles within the current 30-minute window to the same 30-minute window statistics for all past trading days, up until the data limit imposed by TradingView, or until the Data Collection Start Date specified in the settings. Longer-term traders may benefit from using a Monthly Cycle with a Weekly Time Frame, or a Yearly Cycle with a Quarterly Time Frame.
Multiple statistics and data transformation methods are available to convey relative intensity in different ways for different trading signals. Physics Candles allows for both Normal and Log-Normal assumptions in the physics distribution. The data can then be transformed by Linear, Logarithmic, Z-Score, or Power-Law scoring, where scoring simply assigns an intensity to the relative physics value of each candle segment based on some mathematical transformation. Z-scoring often renders adequate detection by scoring the segment value, such as volume or momentum, according to the mean and standard deviation of the data set in each window of the cycle. Logarithmic or power-law transformation with a gamma below 1 decreases the disparity between intensities so more less-important signals will show up, whereas the power-law transformation with gamma values above 1 increases the disparity between intensities, so less more-important signals will show up. These scores are then converted to color and transparency between the Min Score and the Max Score Cutoffs. The Auto-Normalization feature can automatically pick these cutoffs specific to each window based on the mean and standard deviation of the data set, or the user can manually set them. Physics was developed with novices in mind so that most users could calibrate their own settings by plotting the candle segment distributions directly on the chart and fiddling with the settings to see how different cutoffs capture different portions of the distribution and affect the relative color intensities differently. Security distributions are often skewed with fat-tails, known as kurtosis, where high-volume segments for example, have a higher-probabilities than expected for a normal distribution. These distribution are really log-normal, so that taking the logarithm leads to a standard bell-shaped distribution. Taking the Z-score of the Log-Normal distribution could make the most statistical sense, but color sensitivity is a discretionary preference.
Background Philosophy
This indicator was developed to study and trade the physics of motion in financial securities from a visually intuitive perspective. Newton’s laws of motion are loosely applied to financial motion:
“A body remains at rest, or in motion at a constant speed in a straight line, unless acted upon by a force”.
Financial securities remain at rest, or in motion at constant speed up or down, unless acted upon by the force of traders exchanging securities.
“When a body is acted upon by a force, the time rate of change of its momentum equals the force”.
Momentum is the product of mass and velocity, and force is the product of mass and acceleration. Traders render force on the security through the mass of their trading activity and the acceleration of price movement.
“If two bodies exert forces on each other, these forces have the same magnitude but opposite directions.”
Force arises from the interaction of traders, buyers and sellers. One body of motion, traders’ capitalization, exerts an equal and opposite force on another body of motion, the financial security. A securities movement arises at the expense of a buyer or seller’s capitalization.
Volume
The premise of this indicator assumes that volume, v, is an analogous means of measuring physical mass, m. This premise allows the application of the equations of motion to the movement of financial securities. We know from E=mc^2 that mass has energy. Energy can be used to create motion as kinetic energy. Taking a simple hypothetical example, the interaction of one short seller looking to cover lower and one buyer looking to sell higher exchange shares in a security at an agreed upon price to create volume or mass, and therefore, potential energy. Eventually the short seller will actively cover and buy the security from the previous buyer, moving the security higher, or the buyer will actively sell to the short seller, moving the security lower. The potential energy inherent in the initial consolidation or trading activity between buy and seller is now converted to kinetic energy on the subsequent trading activity that moves the securities price. The more potential energy that is created in the consolidation, the more kinetic energy there is to move price. This is why point and figure traders are said to give price targets based on the level of volatility or size of a consolidation range, or why Gann traders square price and time, as time is roughly proportional to mass and trading activity. The build-up of potential energy between short sellers and buyers in GME or TSLA led to their explosive moves beyond their standard fundamental valuations.
Position
Position, p, is simply the price or value of a financial security or market internal.
Time
Time, t, is another means of measuring mass to discover price behavior beyond the time snapshots that simple candle charts provide. We know from E=mc^2 that time is related to rest mass and energy given the speed of light, c, where time ≈ distance * sqrt(mass/E). This relation can also be derived from F=ma. The more mass there is, the longer it takes to compute the physics of a system. The more energy there is, the shorter it takes to compute the physics of a system. Similarly, more time is required to build a “resting” low-volatility trading consolidation with more mass. More energy added to that trading consolidation by competing buyers and sellers decreases the time it takes to build that same mass. Time is also related to price through velocity.
Velocity = (p(t1) – p(t0)) / p(t0)
Velocity, v, is the relative percent change of a securities price, p, over a period of time, t0 to t1. The period of time is between subsequent candles, and since time is constant between candles within the same timeframe, it is not used to calculate velocity or acceleration. Price moves faster with higher velocity, and slower with slower velocity, over the same fixed period of time. The product of velocity and mass gives momentum.
Momentum = mv
This indicator uses physics definition of momentum, not finance’s. In finance, momentum is defined as the amount of change in a securities price, either relative or absolute. This is definition is unfortunate, pun intended, since a one dollar move in a security from a thousand shares traded between a few traders has the exact same “momentum” as a one dollar move from millions of shares traded between hundreds of traders with everything else equal. If momentum is related to the energy of the move, momentum should consider both the level of activity in a price move, and the amount of that price move. If we equate mass to volume to account for the level of trading activity and use physics definition of momentum as the product of mass and velocity, this revised definition now gives a thousand-times more momentum to a one-dollar price move that has a thousand-times more volume behind it. If you want to use finance’s volume-less definition of momentum, use velocity in this indicator.
Acceleration = v(t1) – v(t0)
Acceleration, a, is the difference between velocities over some period of time, t0 to t1. Positive acceleration is necessary to increase a securities speed in the positive direction, while negative acceleration is necessary to decrease it. Acceleration is related to force by mass.
Force = ma
Force is required to change the speed of a securities valuation. Price movements with considerable force have considerably more impact on future direction. A change in direction requires force.
Kinetic Energy = 0.5mv^2
Kinetic energy is the energy that a financial security gains from the change in its velocity by force. The built-up of potential energy in trading consolidations can be converted to kinetic energy on a breakout from the consolidation.
Cycle Theory and Relativity
Just as the physics of motion is relative to a point of reference, so too should the physics of financial securities be relative to a point of reference. An object moving at a 100 mph towards another object moving in the same direction at 100 mph will not appear to be moving relative to each other, nor will they collide, but from an outsider observer, the objects are going 100 mph and will collide with significant impact if they run into a stationary object relative to the observer. Similarly, trading with a hundred thousand shares at the open when the average volume is a couple million may have a much smaller impact on the price compared to trading a hundred thousand shares pre-market when the average volume is ten thousand shares. The point of reference used in this indicator is the average statistics collected for a given Window Time Frame for every Cycle Time Frame. The physics values are normalized relative to these statistics.
Examples
The main chart of this publication shows the Force Candles for the SPY. An intense force candle is observed pre-market that implicates the directional overtone of the day. The assumption that direction should follow force arises from physical observation. If a large object is accelerating intensely in a particular direction, it may be fair to assume that the object continues its direction for the time being unless acted upon by another force.
The second example shows a similar Force Candle for the SPY that counters the assumption made in the first example and emphasizes the importance of both motion and context. While it’s fair to assume that a heavy highly accelerating object should continue its course, if that object runs into an obstacle, say a brick wall, it’s course may deviate. This example shows SPY running into the 50% retracement wall from the low of Mar 2020, a significant support level noted in literature. The example also conveys Gann’s idea of “lost motion”, where the SPY penetrated the 50% price but did not break through it. A brick wall is not one atom thick and price support is not one tick thick. An object can penetrate only one layer of a wall and not go through it.
The third example shows how Volume Candles can be used to identify scalping opportunities on the SPY and conveys why price behavior is as important as motion and context. It doesn’t take a brick wall to impede direction if you know that the person driving the car tends to forget to feed the cats before they leave. In the chart below, the SPY breaks down to a confluence of the 5-day SMA, 20-day SMA, and an important daily trendline (not shown) after the bullish bounce from the 50% retracement days earlier. High volume candles on the SMA signify stopping volume that reverse price direction. The character of the day changes. Bulls become more aggressive than bears with higher volume on upswings and resistance, whiles bears take on a defensive position with lower volume on downswings and support. High volume stopping candles are seen after rallies, and can tell you when to take profit, get out of a position, or go short. The character change can indicate that its relatively safe to re-enter bullish positions on many major supports, especially given the overarching bullish theme from the large reaction off the 50% retracement level.
The last example emphasizes the importance of relativity. The Volume Candles in the chart below are brightest pre-market even though the open has much higher volume since the pre-market activity is much higher compared to past pre-markets than the open is compared to past opens. Pre-market behavior is a good indicator for the character of the day. These bullish Volume Candles are some of the brightest seen since the bounce off the 50% retracement and indicates that bulls are making a relatively greater attempt to bring the SPY higher at the start of the day.
Infrequently Asked Questions
Where do I start?
The default settings are what I use to scalp the SPY throughout most of the extended trading day, on a one-minute chart using SPY volume. I also overlay another Candle set containing ES future volume on the SPY price structure by setting the Physics Source to ES1! and the Number of Overlays setting to 2 for each Candle stream in order to account for pre- and post-market trading activity better. Since the closing volume is exponential-like up until the end of the regular trading day, adding additional Candle streams with a tighter Window Time Frame (e.g., 2-5 minute) in the last 15 minutes of trading can be beneficial. The Hide feature can allow you to set certain intraday timeframes to hide one Candle set in order to show another Candle set during that time.
How crazy can you get with this indicator?
I hope you can answer this question better. One interesting use case is embedding the velocity of market volume onto an internal market structure. The PCTABOVEVWAP.US is a market statistic that indicates the percent of securities above their VWAP among US stocks and is helpful for determining short term trends in the US market. When securities are rising above their VWAP, the average long is up on the day and a rising PCTABOVEVWAP.US can be viewed as more bullish. When securities are falling below their VWAP, the average short is up on the day and a falling PCTABOVEVWAP.US can be viewed as more bearish. (UPVOL.US - DNVOL.US) / TVOL.US is a “spread” symbol, in TV parlance, that indicates the decimal percent difference between advancing volume and declining volume in the US market, showing the relative flow of volume between stocks that are up on the day, and stocks that are down on the day. Setting PCTABOVEVWAP.US in the Candle Source, (UPVOL.US - DNVOL.US) / TVOL.US in the Physics Source, and selecting the Physics to Velocity will embed the relative velocity of the spread symbol onto the PCTABOVEVWAP.US candles. This can be helpful in seeing short term trends in the US market that have an increasing amount of volume behind them compared to other trends. The chart below shows Volume Candles (top) and these Spread Candles (bottom). The first top at 9:30 and second top at 10:30, the high of the day, break down when the spread candles light up, showing a high velocity volume transfer from up stocks to down stocks.
How do I plot the indicator distribution and why should I even care?
The distribution is visually helpful in seeing how different normalization settings effect the distribution of candle segments. It is also helpful in seeing what physics intensities you want to ignore or show by segmenting part of the distribution within the Min and Max Cutoff values. The intensity of color is proportional to the physics value between the Min and Max Cutoff values, which correspond to the Min and Max Colors in your color scheme. Any physics value outside these Min and Max Cutoffs will be the same as the Min and Max Colors.
Select the Print Windows feature to show the window numbers according to the Cycle Time Frame and Window Time Frame settings. The window numbers are labeled at the start of each window and are candle width in size, so you may need to zoom into to see them. Selecting the Plot Window feature and input the window number of interest to shows the distribution of physics values for that particular window along with some statistics.
A log-normal volume distribution of segmented z-scores is shown below for 30-minute opening of the SPY. The Min and Max Cutoff at the top of the graph contain the part of the distribution whose intensities will be linearly color-coded between the Min and Max Colors of the color scheme. The part of the distribution below the Min Cutoff will be treated as lowest quality signals and set to the Min Color, while the few segments above the Max Cutoff will be treated as the highest quality signals and set to the Max Color.
What do I do if I don’t see anything?
Troubleshooting issues with this indicator can involve checking for error messages shown near the indicator name on the chart or using the Data Validation section to evaluate the statistics and normalization cutoffs. For example, if the Plot Window number is set to a window number that doesn’t exist, an error message will tell you and you won’t see any candles. You can use the Print Windows option to show windows that do exist for you current settings. The auto-normalization cutoff values may be inappropriate for your particular use case and literally cut the candles out of the chart. Try changing the chart time frame to see if they are appropriate for your cycle, sample and window time frames. If you get a “Timeframe passed to the request.security_lower_tf() function must be lower than the timeframe of the main chart” error, this means that the chart timeframe should be increased above the sample time frame. If you get a “Symbol resolve error”, ensure that you have correct symbol or spread in the Candle or Physics Source.
How do I see a relative physics values without cycles?
Set the Window Time Frame to be equal to the Cycle Time Frame. This will aggregate all the statistics into one bucket and show the physics values, such as volume, relative to all the past volumes that TV will allow.
How do I see candles without segmentation?
Segmentation can be very helpful in one context or annoying in another. Segmentation can be removed by setting the candle resolution value to 1.
Notes
I have yet to find a trading platform that consistently provides accurate real-time volume and pricing information, lacking adequate end-user data validation or quality control. I can provide plenty of examples of real-time volume counts or prices provided by TradingView and other platforms that were significantly off from what they should have been when comparing against the exchanges own data, and later retroactively corrected or not corrected at all. Since no indicator can work accurately with inaccurate data, please use at your own discretion.
The first version is a beta version. Debugging and validating code in Pine script is difficult without proper unit testing. Please report any bugs with enough information to reproduce them and indicate why they are important. I also encourage you to export the data from TradingView and verify the calculations for your particular use case.
The indicator works on real-time updates that occur at a higher frequency than the candle time frame, which TV incorrectly refers to as ticks. They use this terminology inaccurately as updates are really aggregated tick data that can take place at different prices and may not accurately reflect the real tick price action. Consequently, this inaccuracy also impacts the real-time segmentation accuracy to some degree. TV does not provide a means of retaining “tick” information, so the higher granularity of information seen real-time will be lost on a disconnect.
TV does not provide time and sales information. The volume and price information collected using the Sample Time Frame is intraday, which provides only part of the picture. Intraday volume is generally 50 to 80% of the end of day volume. Consequently, the daily+ OHLC prices are intraday, and may differ significantly from exchanged settled OHLC prices.
The Cycle and Window Time Frames refer to calendar days and time, not trading days or time. For example, the first window week of a monthly cycle is the first seven days of the month, not the first Monday through Friday of trading for the month.
Chart Time Frames that are higher than the Window Time Frames average the normalized physics for price action that occurred within a given Candle segment. It does not average price action that did not occur.
One of the main performance bottleneck in TradingView’s Pine Script is client-side drawing and plotting. The performance of this indicator can be increased by lowering the resolution (the number of sub-candles this indicator plots), getting a faster computer, or increasing the performance of your computer like plugging your laptop in and eliminating unnecessary processes.
The statistical integrity of this indicator relies on the number of samples collected per sample window in a given cycle. Higher sample counts can be obtained by increasing the chart time frame or upgrading the TradingView plan for a higher bar count. While increasing the chart time frame doesn’t increase the visual number of bars plotted on the chart, it does increase the number of bars that can be pulled at a lower time frame, up to 100,000.
Due to a limitation in Pine Scripts request_lower_tf() function, using a spread symbol will only work for regular trading hours, not extended trading hours.
Ideally, velocity or momentum should be calculated between candle closes. To eliminate the need to deal with price gaps that would lead to an incorrect statistical distributions, momentum is calculated between candle open and closes as a percent change of the price or value, which should not be an issue for most liquid securities.
Candlestick Trailing AllocationA simple indicator that calculates the sum of 'Up'(green), 'Down'(red), and 'Doji'(near Doji) candlesticks and portrays the same in an allocation format in percentage. And since it is allocation-based, the total will never exceed 100% of the defined Length period.
The equation is Green + Red + Doji = Total Candles; where total candles = length
When calculating the allocation part, the doji candles are subtracted from the sum of green and red, and the new value is divided by the length period.
For example, the green line = (sum of all green candles - doji / 2) / length; the reason to divide doji by 2 is to eliminate the redundancy it can cause.
When the green line crosses above the red line, the number of green candles is more than red in the defined length period. Similarly, when the red line crossed above the green, there were more red candles than green in that period.
The Doji line shows if any doji or near doji candles have appeared. It acts as a form of resistance against the green and red candles.
There's also the option to change the value of the doji's weight. Default is at 0.1.
The indicator does not show trend nor momentum, even though it may replicate some of its behavior from time to time. It is purely showing the allocation of the number of candles classified as green, red, and doji within the length provided.
Candle Breakout Oscillator [LuxAlgo]The Candle Breakout Oscillator tool allows traders to identify the strength and weakness of the three main market states: bullish, bearish, and choppy.
Know who controls the market at any given moment with an oscillator display with values ranging from 0 to 100 for the three main plots and upper and lower thresholds of 80 and 20 by default.
🔶 USAGE
The Candle Breakout Oscillator represents the three main market states, with values ranging from 0 to 100. By default, the upper and lower thresholds are set at 80 and 20, and when a value exceeds these thresholds, a colored area is displayed for the trader's convenience.
This tool is based on pure price action breakouts. In this context, we understand a breakout as a close above the last candle's high or low, which is representative of market strength. All other close positions in relation to the last candle's limits are considered weakness.
So, when the bullish plot (in green) is at the top of the oscillator (values above 80), it means that the bullish breakouts (close below the last candle low) are at their maximum value over the calculation window, indicating an uptrend. The same interpretation can be made for the bearish plot (in red), indicating a downtrend when high.
On the other hand, weakness is indicated when values are below the lower threshold (20), indicating that breakouts are at their minimum over the last 100 candles. Below are some examples of the possible main interpretations:
There are three main things to look for in this oscillator:
Value reaches extreme
Value leaves extreme
Bullish/Bearish crossovers
As we can see on the chart, before the first crossover happens the bears come out of strength (top) and the bulls come out of weakness (bottom), then after the crossover the bulls reach strength (top) and the bears weakness (bottom), this process is repeated in reverse for the second crossover.
The other main feature of the oscillator is its ability to identify periods of sideways trends when the sideways values have upper readings above 80, and trending behavior when the sideways values have lower readings below 20. As we just saw in the case of bullish vs. bearish, sideways values signal a change in behavior when reaching or leaving the extremes of the oscillator.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Data Smoothing
The tool offers up to 10 different smoothing methods. In the chart above, we can see the raw data (smoothing: None) and the RMA, TEMA, or Hull moving averages.
🔹 Data Weighting
Users can add different weighting methods to the data. As we can see in the image above, users can choose between None, Volume, or Price (as in Price Delta for each breakout).
🔶 SETTINGS
Window: Execution window, 100 candles by default
🔹 Data
Smoothing Method: Choose between none or ten moving averages
Smoothing Length: Length for the moving average
Weighting Method: Choose between None, Volume, or Price
🔹 Thresholds
Top: 80 by default
Bottom: 20 by default
