Impulse Candle with Volume & Std AnalysisImpulse Candle with Volume & Std Analysis
This indicator highlights “impulse” candles on your chart by combining price action and volume analysis to gauge the strength of market moves.
How It Works:
Impulse Candle Detection:
The indicator measures the candle’s body size and compares it to the Average True Range (ATR). When a candle’s body exceeds a user-defined multiple of the ATR (the “Impulse Factor”), it is flagged as an impulse candle.
Volume Analysis:
For each impulse candle, the indicator calculates the expected volume (Impulse Factor × average volume) and compares the actual volume against this expected value. It uses the standard deviation of volume over a specified period to classify the move’s volume as:
Extreme Low: More than 2 standard deviations below the expected volume
Low: Between 1 and 2 standard deviations below expected
Normal: Within 1 standard deviation of expected volume
High: Between 1 and 2 standard deviations above expected
Extreme High: More than 2 standard deviations above expected
Visual Cues:
The impulse candles are color-coded based on the volume classification.
A text-only label (with customizable text color) appears just above each impulse candle, indicating its volume category. The label has no background, ensuring a clean, unobtrusive look.
Customization:
Users can adjust parameters such as the Impulse Factor, ATR length, and volume averaging period to tailor the indicator to their trading style.
This tool is perfect for traders who want a quick visual representation of both significant price moves and the corresponding volume strength behind those moves.

Shaved Candle IdentifierThis script is different because it actually highlights the candle and is not just an icon. It will identify bars that have no wick. Each color represents a different type of candle.
Shaved candles represent major liquidity zones, and tend to get swept in the future.
Shaved candles are useful for spotting reversals and as price targets.
Green is when open = low
Red is when open = high
Blue is when close = high
Orange is when close = low
There is 0 tolerance for any deviation, if the price is 0.001 off, it will not be identified. Only absolutely shaved candles will be identified.
Overlay Hourly Candle [odnac] * This script overlays 1-hour candlestick representations on the chart.
* It captures the open, close, high, and low prices for each hourly period.
* The script dynamically updates as new hourly candles form and adjusts the
* box and wick positions accordingly.
*
* Features:
* - Draws an hourly candle with body and wicks.
* - Colors bullish candles in green and bearish candles in red.
* - Updates dynamically as new hourly candles form.
* - Uses TradingView's box and line functions to represent candle structures.
*
* Usage:
* - Add the script to your TradingView chart as an overlay.
* - Observe how the hourly candles appear distinctly on any timeframe.
Lanczos CandlesThis indicator reconstructs price action using Lanczos resampling, incorporating lower timeframe data to create a more detailed representation of market movements. Traditional candle aggregation on higher timeframes tends to lose some price action detail - this indicator attempts to preserve more of that information through mathematical resampling.
The indicator samples price data from a lower timeframe and uses the Lanczos algorithm, a mathematical method commonly used in signal processing and image resampling, to reconstruct the price series at the chart's timeframe. The process helps maintain price movements that might otherwise be smoothed out in regular candle aggregation.
The main settings allow you to select the source timeframe for sampling, adjust the Lanczos filter width to balance smoothness versus detail preservation, and optionally enable Heikin Ashi calculation. The filter width parameter (default: 3) affects how aggressive the smoothing is - higher values produce smoother results while lower values retain more of the original variation.
This approach can be useful for technical analysis when you want to work with higher timeframes while maintaining awareness of significant price movements that occurred within those candles. The optional Heikin Ashi mode can help visualize trends in the resampled data.
The indicator works best when there's a clear ratio between your chart timeframe and the source timeframe (for example, using 1-minute data to build 5-minute candles).
Previous Daily Candle The Previous Daily Candle indicator is a powerful tool designed to enhance your intraday trading by providing clear visual cues of the previous day's price action.

FAQs
Why do my alerts sometimes not fire as soon as the candle closes?
This is a limitation with Pine Script's execution model. Indicators are calculated whenever a price or volume change occurs i.e. when a new trade happens. For illiquid or slow moving markets, there may be some time between when a candle closes and the next trade, leading to a delay in the alert triggering. The alert will trigger on the next tick of data on the chart.
Why can't I create more alerts?
TradingView has a limit on the number of active technical alerts you can have based on your membership tier. To configure more alerts, consider upgrading your TradingView plan to a higher tier. See a comparison of TradingView plans at www.tradingview.com
My alert only fired once, how can I get it to keep working?
When configuring the alert in the alert pop-up window, make sure you set "Trigger" to "Once Per Bar" and "Expiration" to "Open-ended alert".

((Bearish)) Candle Above EMASGood Morning from the UK.
Todays script is a simple vieweing of when candles close above a certain moving average - when the market is bearish conditions - candle which close above the moving average can be viewed as a bearish signal along with confluences such as price action. This script is best on the Daily and we can expect big price moves away from this area.
The below example, we have a bearish set up with a break of trendline and then a break of a base which would 1) strong area as price is unlikely to go past this area which would make this a supply zone.
This was then followed by the signal of the candle closing above the 100ema and the 50ema.
The script is likened to my one of my previous scripts which portrays the bullish ema candle closes.
I will be making a price action publish soon if that is of interest to the public.
Heikin-Ashi Candle ColoringThis script will change the color of normal candlesticks to the color that the corresponding Heikin-Ashi candles would have.
This allows to spot a trend or a trend reversal just by looking at candles, without using Heikin-Ashi candles, which distort the appearance of a typical chart.
3 Candle Strike StretegyMainly developed for AMEX:SPY trading on 1 min chart. But feel free to try on other tickers.
Basic idea of this strategy is to look for 3 candle reversal pattern within trending market structure. The 3 candle reversal pattern consist of 3 consecutive bullish or bearish candles,
followed by an engulfing candle in the opposite direction. This pattern usually signals a reversal of short term trend. This strategy also uses multiple moving averages to filter long or short
entries. ie. if the 21 smoothed moving average is above the 50, only look for long (bullish) entries, and vise versa. There is option change these moving average periods to suit your needs.
I also choose to use Linear Regression to determine whether the market is ranging or trending. It seems the 3 candle pattern is more successful under trending market. Hence I use it as a filter.
There is also an option to combine this strategy with moving average crossovers. The idea is to look for 3 candle pattern right after a fast moving average crosses over a slow moving average.
By default , 21 and 50 smoothed moving averages are used. This gives additional entry opportunities and also provides better results.
This strategy aims for 1:3 risk to reward ratio. Stop losses are calculated using the closest low or high values for long or short entries, respectively, with an offset using a percentage of
the daily ATR value. This allows some price fluctuation without being stopped out prematurely. Price target is calculated by multiplying the difference between the entry price and the stop loss
by a factor of 3. When price target is reach, this strategy will set stop loss at the price target and wait for exit condition to maximize potential profit.
This strategy will exit an order if an opposing 3 candle pattern is detected, this could happen before stop loss or price target is reached, and may also happen after price target is reached.
*Note that this strategy is designed for same day SPY option scalping. I haven't determined an easy way to calculate the # of contracts to represent the equivalent option values. Plus the option
prices varies greatly depending on which strike and expiry that may suits your trading style. Therefore, please be mindful of the net profit shown. By default, each entry is approximately equal
to buying 10 of same day or 1 day expiry call or puts at strike $1 - $2 OTM. This strategy will close all open trades at 3:45pm EST on Mon, Wed, and Fri.
**Note that this strategy also takes into account of extended market data.
***Note pyramiding is set to 2 by default, so it allows for multiple entries on the way towards price target.
Remember that market conditions are always changing. This strategy was only able to be back-tested using 1 month of data. This strategy may not work the next month. Please keep that in mind.
Also, I take no credit for any of the indicators used as part of this strategy.
Enjoy~
Renko Candles OverlayHello All,
For long time I got many request for Renko Candles and now here it's, Renko Candles Overlay . I tried to make almost everything optional, so you can play with the options as you want.
Let see the options:
Method: the option for brick scaling method: ATR, ATR/2, ATR/4, Percent, Traditional
- ATR Period: period for Average True Range and it's valid if the method is ATR
- ATR/2 Period: period for Average True Range and it's valid if the method is ATR/2
- ATR/4 Period: period for Average True Range and it's valid if the method is ATR/4
- Traditional: User-defined brick size, it's valid if the method is Traditional
- Percent: Percent of Close price, it's valid if the method is Percent
if the method is not Traditional (fixed brick size) then Brick size is calculated/updated when new bricks added. so The box sizes may be different because of the calculation is dynamic.
Levels & Lines for new Bricks: if you enable this option then the script shows the levels for new brick
Change Bar Color: optionally the script changes the bar color by using direction of the bricks
and some other options for coloring.
The script shows the bricks for visible area, which is approximately 280 candles. so if you change the width and number of the bricks then number of bricks that is shown is adjusted automatically to fit the screen. you can see the examples below:
The script shows the levels to new brick as a line and label:
Because of real-time bar is not confirmed until the candle close, the script shows the bricks as Unconfirmed , and unconfirmed bricks shown in different color:
You can change the width of the bricks (width is 10 in following example):
Optionally candle colors are changde by the direction of the bricks:
If you have any recommendation then please drop a comment under the script ;)
Enjoy!
HTF Candles by Prosum SolutionsOverview of Features
This indicator was inspired by the work of "informanerd" in the script called "HTF Candles" as well as the built-in script called "Multi-Time Period Charts" by TradingView. The script will provide a highly customizable interface to specify the higher timeframe resolution for the candlesticks, the type of candle, as well as various styling options for the body, borders and wicks.
Usage Information
The indicator can be applied to any chart at any time frame, but resolutions less than 1 minute may demonstrate gaps between bars and the candles may not render properly.
When the "Same as chart" option is chosen for the "Resolution" field, the indicator will attempt to find a higher timeframe resolution to ensure the candlesticks are drawn.
Enjoy! 👍
HTF CandlesThis draws candlesticks from higher time frames on the current chart. I tried to keep the script simple using some newly introduced Pine capabilities.
To change the options like the higher time frame and candle colors, check the indicator settings.
Looking forward to your opinions!
Bullflag Candlestick pattern
A bull flag is essentially a small consolidation near the top of an upthrust. If we picture it as a candlestick pattern, it should have a big green candlestick + a small body red/green candle near the top of the top big green candle.
This script essentially help you identify these.
Candlestick Patterns - BisayaTCThe script displays a label when a candle stick pattern is detected based on Trends. This is related to the latest Candlestick patterns released in TradingView. I've created this to have all candlestick patterns in one indicator.
Candlestick Patterns can be one of confirmation of a trend you're following or a reversal.

Enhanced Doji Candle StrategyYour trading strategy is a Doji Candlestick Reversal Strategy designed to identify potential market reversals using Doji candlestick patterns. These candles indicate indecision in the market, and when detected, your strategy uses a Simple Moving Average (SMA) with a short period of 20 to confirm the overall market trend. If the price is above the SMA, the trend is considered bullish; if it's below, the trend is bearish.
Once a Doji is detected, the strategy waits for one or two consecutive confirmation candles that align with the market trend. For a bullish confirmation, the candles must close higher than their opening price without significant bottom wicks. Conversely, for a bearish confirmation, the candles must close lower without noticeable top wicks. When these conditions are met, a trade is entered at the market price.
The risk management aspect of your strategy is clearly defined. A stop loss is automatically placed at the nearest recent swing high or low, with a tighter distance of 5 pips to allow for more trading opportunities. A take-profit level is set using a 2:1 reward-to-risk ratio, meaning the potential reward is twice the size of the risk on each trade.
Additionally, the strategy incorporates an early exit mechanism. If a reversal Doji forms in the opposite direction of your trade, the position is closed immediately to minimize losses. This strategy has been optimized to increase trade frequency by loosening the strictness of Doji detection and confirmation conditions while still maintaining sound risk management principles.
The strategy is coded in Pine Script for use on TradingView and uses built-in indicators like the SMA for trend detection. You also have flexible parameters to adjust risk levels, take-profit targets, and stop-loss placements, allowing you to tailor the strategy to different market conditions.
HTF Candle Range Box (Fixed to HTF Bars)### **Higher Timeframe Candle Range Box (HTF Box Indicator)**
This indicator visually highlights the price range of the most recently closed higher-timeframe (HTF) candle, directly on a lower-timeframe chart. It dynamically adjusts based on the user-selected HTF setting (e.g., 15-minute, 1-hour) and ensures that the box is displayed only on the bars that correspond to that specific HTF candle’s duration.
For instance, if a trader is on a **1-minute chart** with the **HTF set to 15 minutes**, the indicator will draw a box spanning exactly 15 one-minute candles, corresponding to the previous 15-minute HTF candle. The box updates only when a new HTF candle completes, ensuring that it does not change mid-formation.
---
### **How It Works:**
1. **Retrieves Higher Timeframe Data**
The script uses TradingView’s `request.security` function to pull **high, low, open, and close** values from the **previously completed HTF candle** (using ` ` to avoid repainting). It also fetches the **high and low of the candle before that** (using ` `) for comparison.
2. **Determines Breakout Behavior**
It compares the **last closed HTF candle** to the **one before it** to determine whether:
- It **broke above** the previous high.
- It **broke below** the previous low.
- It **broke both** the high and low.
- It **stayed within the previous candle’s range** (no breakout).
3. **Classifies the Candle & Assigns Color**
- **Green (Bullish)**
- Closes above the previous candle’s high.
- Breaks below the previous candle’s low but closes back inside the previous range **if it opened above** the previous high.
- **Red (Bearish)**
- Closes below the previous candle’s low.
- Breaks above the previous candle’s high but closes back inside the previous range **if it opened below** the previous low.
- **Orange (Neutral/Indecisive)**
- Stays within the previous candle’s range.
- Breaks both the high and low but closes inside the previous range without a clear bias.
4. **Box Placement on the Lower Timeframe**
- The script tracks the **bar index** where each HTF candle starts on the lower timeframe (e.g., every 15 bars on a 1-minute chart if HTF = 15 minutes).
- It **only displays the box on those bars**, ensuring that the range is accurately reflected for that time period.
- The box **resets and updates** only when a new HTF candle completes.
---
### **Key Features & Advantages:**
✅ **Clear Higher Timeframe Context:**
- The indicator provides a structured way to analyze HTF price action while trading in a lower timeframe.
- It helps traders identify **HTF support and resistance zones**, potential **breakouts**, and **failed breakouts**.
✅ **Fixed Box Display (No Mid-Candle Repainting):**
- The box is drawn **only after the HTF candle closes**, avoiding misleading fluctuations.
- Unlike other indicators that update live, this one ensures the trader is looking at **confirmed data** only.
✅ **Flexible Timeframe Selection:**
- The user can set **any HTF resolution** (e.g., 5min, 15min, 1hr, 4hr), making it adaptable for different strategies.
✅ **Dynamic Color Coding for Quick Analysis:**
- The **color of the box reflects the market sentiment**, making it easier to spot trends, reversals, and fake-outs.
✅ **No Clutter – Only Applies to the Relevant Bars:**
- Instead of spanning across the whole chart, the range box is **only visible on the bars belonging to the last HTF period**, keeping the chart clean and focused.
---
### **Example Use Case:**
💡 Imagine a trader is scalping on the **1-minute chart** but wants to factor in **HTF 15-minute structure** to avoid getting caught in bad trades. With this indicator:
- They can see whether the last **15-minute candle** was bullish, bearish, or indecisive.
- If it was **bullish (green)**, they may look for **buying opportunities** at lower timeframes.
- If it was **bearish (red)**, they might anticipate **a potential pullback or continuation down**.
- If the **HTF candle failed to break out**, they know the market is **ranging**, avoiding unnecessary trades.
---
### **Final Thoughts:**
This indicator is a **powerful addition for traders who combine multiple timeframes** in their analysis. It provides a **clean and structured way to track HTF price movements** without cluttering the chart or requiring constant manual switching between timeframes. Whether used for **intraday trading, swing trading, or scalping**, it adds an extra layer of confirmation for trade entries and exits.
🔹 **Best for traders who:**
- Want **HTF structure awareness while trading lower timeframes**.
- Need **confirmation of breakouts, failed breakouts, or indecision zones**.
- Prefer a **non-repainting tool that only updates after confirmed HTF closes**.
Let me know if you want any adjustments or additional features! 🚀
