This indicator that visualizes a specific candle from a user-defined timeframe (1D, 1H, etc.) and its associated properties on the chart. Below is a detailed explanation:
1 - Inputs and Initialization:
timeframeInput: Allows the user to select the desired timeframe (e.g., daily).
pos: Adjusts the horizontal position of the drawn candle on the chart.
2 - Custom Data Type (type bar):
The bar type stores data for the open, high, low, and close (OHLC) values, as well as the start time of the candle.
It also includes graphical elements like body, wick, and start lines.
3 - Logic:
A variable b is initialized to represent the custom candle.
The script checks for changes in the selected timeframe and creates a new bar when the timeframe changes.
4 - Methods:
update(): Updates the OHLC values of the bar if a new high or low occurs.
display(): Draws the candle on the chart, including:
The candle body.
The wick (shadow).
Labels showing the open, high, and low values.
Horizontal and vertical dotted lines for visual aid.
5 - Candle Redrawing:
The script clears all graphical elements (lines, labels, boxes) for the current candle on the last bar of the chart (barstate.islast) and redraws them using the display() method.
6 - Table Display:
A small table is displayed at the right-hand side of the chart showing:
The selected timeframe.
The opening value of the candle.
The difference between the close and open prices, highlighted with the appropriate color.

Candle ThermalsThis indicator color candles based on their percentage price change, relative to the average, maximum, and minimum changes over the last 100 candles.
-It calculates the percentage change of all candles
-Calculates the minimum, maximum and average in the last 100 bars in percentage change
-Changes color of the candle based on the range between the current percent and min/max value
-The brightest candle provides the highest compound effect to you account if you act on it at the open.
-Candles that have a percentage close to the average then they are barely visible = lowest compound effect to your account
This indicator functions like a "heatmap" for candles, highlighting the relative volatility of price movements in both directions. Strong bullish candles are brighter green, and strong bearish candles are brighter red. It's particularly useful for traders wanting quick visual feedback on price volatility and strength trends within the last 100 bars.
ICT Candle Block (fadi)ICT Candle Block
When trading using ICT concepts, it is often beneficial to treat consecutive candles of the same color as a single entity. This approach helps traders identify Order Blocks, liquidity voids, and other key trading signals more effectively.
However, in situations where the market becomes choppy or moves slowly, recognizing continuous price movement can be challenging.
The ICT Candle Block indicator addresses these challenges by combining consecutive candles of the same color into a single entity. It redraws the resulting candles, making price visualization much easier and helping traders quickly identify key trading signals.
FVGs and Blocks
In the above snapshot, FVGs/Liquidity Voids, Order Blocks, and Breaker Blocks are easily identified. By analyzing the combined candles, traders can quickly determine the draw on liquidity and potential price targets using ICT concepts.
Unlike traditional higher timeframes that rigidly combine lower timeframe candles based on specific start and stop times, this indicator operates as a "mixed timeframe." It combines all buying and all selling activities into a single candle, regardless of when the transactions started and ended.
Limitations
There are currently TradingView limitations that affect the functionality of this indicator:
TradingView does not have a Candle object; therefore, this indicator relies on using boxes and lines to mimic the candles. This results in wider candles than expected, leading to misalignment with the time axis below (plotcandle is not the answer).
There is a limit on the number of objects that can be drawn on a chart. A maximum of 500 candles has been set.
A rendering issue may cause a sideways box to appear across the chart. This is a display bug in TradingView; scroll to the left until it clears.
Large Candle Marker (Threshold in Cents)This indicator, Large Candle Marker, identifies and marks candles that exceed a specified size threshold. The size can be based on either the candle's body (difference between open and close) or the total range (difference between high and low). The threshold is entered in cents for easy configuration, and the indicator highlights these significant candles directly on the chart with a orange flag. It's perfect for spotting momentum or volatility in price movements. I use it to not enter trades after a large candle.
// INSTRUCTIONS:
// 1. Input the desired candle size threshold in cents in the settings menu.
// - For example, enter "30" for 30 cents or "50" for 50 cents.
// 2. Choose the size type:
// - Select "True" to use the candle body size (difference between open and close).
// - Select "False" to use the total range size (difference between high and low).
// 3. The script will mark candles exceeding the threshold with a red marker above the candle.
// 4. Apply this indicator to any chart to identify significant candles based on the threshold.
Reptile Candle Marker with ArrowsReptile Candle Marker
The Reptile Candle Marker is a custom indicator designed to identify a specific pattern in price action, known as the "reptile candle." This pattern is characterized by a small body with long wicks on both the upper and lower sides. These candles often indicate indecision or a reversal in the market, making them useful for traders looking for potential turning points.
Key Features:
Small Body and Large Wicks: The indicator highlights candles with a small body relative to the overall candle range, accompanied by long upper and lower wicks. This is achieved by comparing the size of the wicks to the body and the overall candle range.
Volume Confirmation: The indicator ensures that the identified candles are accompanied by high volume, which serves as confirmation of the significance of the price action.
Visual Highlighting: When a "reptile" candle is detected, the body of the candle and the wicks are both colored yellow. This allows for easy identification on the chart.
Custom Wick Lines: To ensure the wicks stand out, the indicator draws yellow lines above and below the candles, representing the upper and lower wicks. These lines remain fixed in place even as the chart is scaled or moved.
How It Works:
The indicator identifies candles where:
The upper wick is longer than the body by a specified ratio.
The lower wick is longer than the body by the same ratio.
The candle's body size is small compared to the total candle range (less than 30% of the range).
The volume is significantly higher than the 20-period moving average volume, indicating increased market activity.
When these conditions are met, the indicator marks the candle by coloring its body and wicks yellow. Additionally, it draws custom yellow wick lines to visually represent the wick size.
How to Use:
This indicator is designed to highlight potential reversal points or periods of indecision in the market. Traders can use it to spot possible turning points, especially when accompanied by other technical analysis tools such as support/resistance levels or trend indicators.
Customizable Parameters:
Wick to Body Ratio: Controls the sensitivity for detecting large wicks relative to the candle body.
Volume Factor: Adjusts the threshold for identifying candles with significantly higher volume than the moving average.
Truly Bullish & Bearish CandleThis Pine Script indicator identifies and highlights truly bullish and bearish candles on your chart. Truly bullish candles are characterized by a strong bullish close significantly above the specific percentage, suggesting strong buying pressure. Conversely, truly bearish candles exhibit a strong bearish close significantly below the specific percentage, indicating strong selling pressure. By identifying these candles, traders can gain insights into potential shifts in market sentiment and make more informed trading decisions.
Key Features:
Identifies truly bullish and bearish candles based on strong open/close differentials.
Highlights these candles on the chart for easy visualization.
Helps traders identify potential reversals or continuations in market trends.
Customizable parameters for fine-tuning to suit individual trading strategies.
Compatible with various timeframes and trading instruments.
Usage Instructions:
Apply the indicator to your chart.
Configure the settings according to your preferences.
Look for highlighted truly bullish and bearish candles as potential entry or exit signals.
Consider additional analysis and risk management strategies to confirm trading decisions.

Z Score CANDLE and Exciting candle signal [DJ D]This script paints candles when their zscore reaches above 2 standard deviations in price from the mean. The blue candle represents up candle above 2. Magenta candle below -2. The candles can signal the beginning of a move and also importantly exhaustion.
The script also signals when a candle has volatility above 6. The higher the sensitivity the less frequent it will paint. These are real time paints and signals. You can adjust for higher time frames by adjusting the length of the z score and adjust the sensitivity of the volatility candles.
The yellow candle is a mean candle and can signify consolidation and/or indecision. Drawing a Darvis type box around around mean candles can give you a zone to watch.
These settings are for 1 minute scalping. The volatility sensitivity range between 1- 2 is good for 15, 30, (ie 1.0 or 1.2) and your discretion....

Market Relative Candle Ratio ComparatorIntroducing the Market Relative Candle Ratio Comparator, a visually captivating script that eases the way you compare two financial assets, such as cryptocurrencies and market indices. Leveraging a distinctive calculation method based on percentage changes and their averages, this tool presents a crystal-clear view of how your chosen assets perform in relation to each other, both for individual candles and over a range of previous candles.
Tailoring the script to your preferences is a walk in the park, as it allows you to easily adjust input symbols, moving average lengths, and other parameters to match your analytical approach. The visually arresting column chart it creates employs vivid red and green colors to underscore the differences between the two assets on each candle. Simultaneously, the lower-opacity columns depict the accumulated differences over a specified lookback period. This vibrant blend of colors and opacities results in a dynamic visual experience, enabling you to better grasp market trends relative to each other.
The reverse bool input is a handy feature that lets you invert the effect of the input symbol (DXY by default) in the comparison. When you set the reverse input to true, the script multiplies the calculated DXY percentage change by -1, effectively reversing the comparison. This is particularly useful when examining assets with an inverse relationship or when you'd like to analyze the input symbol's impact in the opposite direction.
For instance, if the input symbol represents a market index that generally moves in the opposite direction of the selected cryptocurrency, enabling the reverse input will help you better visualize and understand the relationship between the two assets by inverting the input symbol's effect on the comparison.
In the accompanying chart, you can observe the comparison of Bitcoin's movement relative to the Dollar, Gold, Bonds, and the S&P 500. The indicator reveals that in the last day, Bitcoin outperformed Bonds, Gold, and the Dollar but not the S&P 500!
Liquidity Engulfing Candles [upslidedown]Liquidity engulfing candles (LEC) are a variant of a common candlestick pattern: engulfing candles but with a couple extra conditions applied. These conditions expect highs/lows to be taken out in order to show a continuation or reversal signal.
Filter 1: Stop Hunt Wick Filter
This filter requires the candle to wick into the prior candles high or low ( bullish = wick below prior candle lows). This is the stop hunt.
Filter 2: Close Filter
This filter requires the candle to close above or below above the prior candle ( bullish = close above prior candle high). This is the confirmation.
This idea was introduced to me by @attrk632. Thanks, mate!
Price Action CandlesThis simple script provides a visual aid for price action traders by coloring outside & inside candles, which in effect leaves the trader with 6 possible candle colors:
-Regular bullish candle
-Outside bullish candle
-Inside bullish candle
-Regular bearish candle
-Outside bearish candle
-Inside bearish candle
These candlesticks may provide powerful signals when used in conjunction with key levels, market structure and chart patterns.
Make sure to disable the regular candlesticks (body, borders and wicks) in the symbol tab inside the configuration menu!
Hope it can help someone!
Impactful pattern and candles pattern AlertThe Alertion indicator!
impactful pattern:
pattern that happen near the zone or in the zone at lower timeframe and give us entry and stop limit price.
It is helpful for price action traders and those who want to decrease their risk.

trade with half lot before IP pattern and enter with other half after pattern.
how to use?
for example:
you find zone at 1h timeframe for short position
when price enter to your zone
you run this indicator and choose your lower timeframe, for example 15m and click on short position.
Then make the alert by right-click on your chart and choose the add alert and at condition box choose the impactful pattern and then click on create
now wait for message :)
Candles pattern:
like reversal bar, key reversal bar, exhaustion bar, pin bar, two-bar reversal, tree-bar reversal, inside bar, outside bar
these occur when the trend turn, so it is usable when the price enter to your zone or near your zone.
This pattern can decrease your risk.
Inside bar and outside bar:
if this pattern engulf up, it is bullish pattern and if engulf down, it is bearish pattern.
what does this indicator do?
this indicator is for making alert
it helps you to decrease your risk and failure.
You optimize it to alert you when IP pattern happen or candle pattern happen or inside bar or outside bar engulfing or all of them.
For IP pattern, it will message you entry and stop limit price.
It works at 2 different timeframes, so you can make alert for example in 1h TF for candles pattern and 15m TF for IP pattern.
Indicator will alert you for candles pattern at your chart timeframe and for IP pattern at timeframe you've chosen when you run the indicator, and it is changeable
in setting.
setting options
TIMEFRAME
IP: select the timeframe for IP patterns it means when IP pattern happen at that timeframe the indicator will alert you
example = your TF is 1h, you found the supply zone and want to trade, note that IP pattern happen in lower TF, so you select 15m TF or TF lower than 1h.
Short position: select it if you want to make short position.
BUFFERING
indicator send you entry and stop limit price
you can change it by amount of percent
it is your strategy to change your entry and stop loss or not

so the indicator will message you the exact price but if you want to put
your stop limit 5 percent upper than exact price you can enter 5 in front of stop loss
or you want to enter 5 percent lower than exact high price of shoulder, you can optimize it.
ALERTION
you choose what alert you want
IP alert or candle alert or inside and outside bar alert
type your text for alert
you can write additional text for your message
ADVANCE
IP alert frequency option:
1. Once per bar : indicator will alert you for IP pattern once at your chat timeframe bar, and you should wait til next bar for next alert.
2. Once per bar close : alert you when your chart timeframe bar closed and next alert will happen when next bar is closed.
3. All: alert you all the times IP pattern happen
pivot left and right bars: lower will find smaller pattern
at the END:
this indicator is not strategy
it is part of your strategy that help you to increase your winning rate.
It is helpful for scalping and candle patterns finding.
After you make an alert, you can delete the indicator or change your timeframe or make another alert, your previous alert won’t change.
Thank you all.
Bull and Bear Marubozus Candlestick PatternMarubozus are an interesting candle pattern wherein the close and open of the candle are also the high / low points of the candle. In other words, a candle with no shadows or wicks.
How reliable are they, though? Probably not very reliable on their own. It may also depend on the size of the candle. You would probably want to incorporate this candle pattern with other filters, like RSI, MACD, to filter trade opportunities.
Replay Mode - Check HTF CandleThis indicator is intended to be used while using Replay Mode.
A vertical line will be drawn when you can safely check the 4H, Daily, or Weekly candle without seeing future price.
It is similar to the built-in Session Breaks, but has the benefit of not needing to remove one candle before checking the Daily.
When the line is the color of your 4H settings, it is safe to check the 4H candle.
When the line is the color of your Daily settings, it is safe to check the 4H and Daily candles.
When the line is the color of your Weekly settings, it is safe to check the 4H, Daily and Weekly candles
Hammer & Shooting Star Candle DetectorHi guys

Candles - Cheat SheetWhat is up y'all ? (french trying to sound American)
I found that in my script archives, way back in an old cave. I think this might be useful as a few really asked me how to define a green/red candle, how to capture the wick value, the body, etc..
This is not a fancy script as usual and I'm sure they're plenty of candles pattern scripts out there but I saw no one sharing a simple candle cheat sheet for pinescript coding
Being able to define candles using codes is an essential skill to have for any Pinescripter
Still on the train so won't write a roman as usual... Kidding... I actually did it here What-is-an-Hard-Exit-and-a-few-notes-on-trading-management/
It won't bring me as many likes as any magic p**p cannon accounts promising the moon at each trade but if I can help at least 1 trader a day not losing his/her money, I'll be happy and my daily goal will be fulfilled
All the best
Dave

Disguised Candles by The School of Dalal StreetDisguised Candles corrects one of the subtle visual distortions present in normal candlestick charts — the mismatch between the close of one candle and the open of the next.
On many instruments (especially at day/session breaks), the next candle’s open often jumps due to price gaps or data feed behavior. This can make reading the flow of price action harder than necessary.
Disguised Candles fixes this by plotting synthetic candles where the open of each candle is forced to match the close of the previous one — creating a visually continuous flow of price.
Real candles are made fully transparent, so only the "corrected" candles are visible.
This allows traders to:
Visualize price flow as a smooth path
Better spot true directional shifts and trends
Avoid distractions caused by technical gaps that are not meaningful to their strategy
🚀 Pure visual clarity. No noise from false opens.
How it works:
The open of each synthetic candle = close of previous real candle
High, Low, Close remain unchanged
Colors are based on Close vs Corrected Open
Real chart candles are hidden under a transparent overlay
Use this as a clean canvas for trend analysis or as a foundation for building new visual systems.
Volume CandlesVolume Candles — Context-Aware Candle Color
Description:
This visual indicator colors your price candles based on relative volume intensity, helping traders instantly detect low, medium, and high volume activity at a glance. It supports two modes — Percentile Ranking and Volume Average — offering flexible interpretation of volume pressure across all timeframes.
It uses a 3-tiered color system (bright, medium, dark) with customizable tones for both bullish and bearish candles.
How It Works:
You can choose between two modes for volume classification:
Ranking Mode (Default):
Measures current volume’s percentile rank over a lookback period. Higher percentiles = stronger color intensity.
Percentile thresholds:
< 50% → light color (low volume)
50–80% → medium intensity
> 80% → high volume
Volume Average Mode:
Compares current volume against its simple moving average (SMA).
Volume thresholds:
< 0.5× SMA → light color
Between 0.5× and 1.5× → medium
> 1.5× → high intensity
Candle Paint:
Candles are colored directly on the chart, not in a separate pane. Bullish candles use green shades, bearish use red. All colors are fully customizable.
How to Interpret:
Bright Colors = High volume (potential strength or climax)
Muted/Transparent Colors = Low or average volume (consolidation, traps)
Example Use Cases:
Spot fakeouts with large price movement on weak volume (dark color)
Confirm breakout strength with bright candles
Identify stealth accumulation/distribution
Inputs & Settings:
Mode: Ranking Percentile or Volume Average
Lookback Period for ranking and SMA
Custom Colors for bullish and bearish candles at 3 intensity levels
Best For:
Price action traders wanting context behind each candle
Scalpers and intraday traders needing real-time volume feedback
Anyone using volume as a filter for entries or breakouts
Pro Tips:
Combine with Price Action, Bollinger Bands or VWAP/EMA levels to confirm breakout validity and intent behind a move.
Use alongside RSI/MACD divergences for high-volume reversal signals.
For swing trading, expand the lookback period to better normalize volume over longer trends.
2 MA + Strat Candle ColorsThe "2 MA + Strat Candle Colors" indicator combines two customizable moving averages (MAs) with a strategic candle-coloring system to help traders analyze trends and price action. Here’s a breakdown of its features:
1. Two Moving Averages (MAs):
MA 1 & MA 2 Settings:
Users can select between 7 MA types for each line: SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA, VWMA, LSMA, SMMA.
Adjustable periods and price sources (e.g., close, open) for both MAs.
Default settings: MA 1 = 9-period EMA, MA 2 = 20-period EMA.
Plotting:
MA 1 is blue, MA 2 is red (colors customizable via inputs).
Crossovers between the MAs can signal trend changes.
2. Strategic Candle Coloring:
Candles are colored based on their relationship to the previous candle:
Green (Bullish): "Two-Up Bar" – current high > prior high, and low does not break prior low.
Red (Bearish): "Two-Down Bar" – current low < prior low, and high does not break prior high.
Purple (Outside Bar): "Three Bar" – current candle engulfs the prior candle (higher high and lower low).
Yellow (Inside Bar): "One Bar" – current candle is contained within the prior candle’s range.
Candle coloring is based on:
Big Candle Highlighter (Nifty 1m)This indicator will help option buyers to avoid taking trade in impulsive candles.
For Example :
Normal 1m candle: ~10–15 pts
Big candle (possible liquidity/impulse): >18 pts
Very large / avoid chasing: >25 pts
If you see a candle that breaks structure with a 25-30 point range and closes strong, it’s often:
A liquidity sweep
A news spike
Or the start of an impulsive leg — in which case entering at close can be risky without a retest
3 Candles Gap3 Candle Gap Indicator is made to detect these types of patterns:
1. 3 consecutive bullish or bearish candles
2. the middle candle true body (body excluding shadows) has a part that is not covered by previous and next candle shadows (gap)
This pattern helps traders to detect candles where price has moved in a direction and gap has formed (price is not covered by previous or next candles shadows), this is a signal showing price momentum where one side (bulls/bears) is so powerful at moving the price that the other side (bears/bulls) can't get price back to cover the gap.
This indicator has "repainting" by 1 candle which means, it uses the data from future to work, however this future data does not go further than 1 candle.
Mushir's Inside Candle IndicatorThis indicator detects inside candle formations on the chart’s current timeframe. It highlights when a candle’s range is fully engulfed by the previous candle’s range, provided the previous candle meets specific criteria.
How It Works ?
It shows the formation of inside candle on the charts to help in find trades.
Mother Candle Validation
The previous candle must be a “leg candle” with a strong body and minimal wicks relative to its body size, ensuring a robust structure.
Inside Candle Detection
The current candle qualifies as an inside candle if:
Its high is ≤ the previous candle’s high.
Its low is ≥ the previous candle’s low.
Why Use This Indicator?
Adapts to the chart’s current timeframe—no manual adjustments needed.
Easily gives you the identification of inside candles
Minimalistic Design
Better results in trending market
How to use it?
- when the inside candle is formed there are certain conditions:
1. if the next candle first crosses the high of inside candle, look for a potential buy trade with RR as 2:1 while stoploss being just below the low of inside candle.
2. if the next candle first crosses the low of inside candle, look for a potential sell trade with RR as 2:1 while stoploss being just above the high of inside candle.
3. if 2:1 is achieved, then increase the partial target to 3:1 while bringing the stoploss to the entry point.
4. if the high is crossed first and then the low is crossed or vice versa then the trade is invalidated.
Happy Trading!
Half Candle RetraceThis custom indicator draws a horizontal line at the 50% retracement level of each candlestick on the chart. It calculates the midpoint between the high and low of each candle, which is often used by traders to identify potential entry, exit and take-profit levels. Once price action returns to an untouched level, the line will be removed, leaving only the levels where price action is still missing.
Key Features:
Timeframe: Works on all timeframes.
Line Color: Customize the line color to suit your charting preferences.
Line Width: Adjust the thickness of the retracement line for better visibility.
Line Style: Choose between solid, dotted, or dashed lines.
Up/Down Candle Selection: Option to only display retracement lines for up (bullish) candles, down (bearish) candles, or both.
Full Customization: Control the transparency (opacity) of the line for enhanced visual clarity.
Simple Setup: No complicated settings – simply choose your preferred color, line style, and visibility options.
This indicator is perfect for traders who prefer to use price action and retracement levels to identify potential trade opportunities.
How It Works:
The indicator automatically calculates the 50% level (midpoint) for each candlestick, drawing a line at this level. It will only draw lines for candles that match your chosen criteria (up or down candles), ensuring the chart remains clean and relevant to your trading strategy. Lines are automatically removed as soon as price crosses them.
