Because Wicks Dont Lie" Because Wicks Don't Lie " is a specialized indicator designed to assist traders in identifying and visualizing significant candle wicks on any timeframe. Wicks, often referred to as Liquidity Targets, are areas that almost always get filled by price at some point. They can help map out the trajectory of price movement, acting as a magnet, drawing the price towards them. Recognizing these wicks can provide invaluable insights into potential trading opportunities and market sentiment.
We are looking for Candles with LONG Wick and TINY Candle Body! Only those types of Wicks have (according to my experience and backtesting) a 100% chance to get filled in the future.
Features:
Wick Visualization:
The script highlights significant bullish (blue) and bearish (red) wicks that meet specific criteria, helping you quickly spot potential trading opportunities.
VWAP Bands for Filtering Extremes:
The VWAP bands are incorporated to filter out wicks created at extreme price points. By ensuring that wicks are within a user-defined percentage of the VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price), traders can avoid targeting extreme wicks that might take a longer time to get filled, thus enhancing the efficacy of strategies that trade towards wicks.
Alerts:
Traders can set alerts for when a significant bullish or bearish wick is detected, ensuring they never miss potential setups.
Usage:
Once applied to your chart, the script will automatically scan for significant wicks and display them with blue (bullish) and red (bearish) markers. By adjusting the script settings, users can customize the VWAP band percentage to fine-tune the filtering of extreme wicks.
Conclusion:
Wicks often contain valuable information about market sentiment, rejection of price levels, and potential future price direction. By acting as liquidity targets, they serve as indications of where the price is likely to move. "Because Wicks Don't Lie" simplifies the process of identifying these crucial candle formations and, with the inclusion of the VWAP bands, ensures that traders can prioritize the most actionable wicks while avoiding extreme outliers.
Input Fields:
Average Candle Size Multiplier:
This parameter allows users to adjust the base size of what the script considers as a significant wick. By multiplying the average size of candles over the last 4998 bars, users can fine-tune the script to detect only wicks of a certain prominence. A higher value will mean that only larger wicks (relative to recent price action) will be considered significant.
Wick Ratio (Wick Proportion Threshold):
This ratio helps determine the proportion of the wick to the entire candle for it to be considered significant. A higher ratio means that the wick must be a larger part of the total candle size to be marked as significant. It's an essential parameter to differentiate between candles with tiny wicks and those with substantial wicks which might offer trading opportunities.

Custom Arrow IndicatorBuy and sell signals based on activity. If current candle is at least 3 times previous candle you will get an buy or sell signal depending on bearish or bullish candle. other filters are in place such as signal candle must close/above previous candle. top wick of bullish candle must not be more than 3% of body range and vice versa for bearish candle.
WR - BC IdentifierThis indicator is created for user to identify BIG CANDLE "BC" in order to identify momentum in the chart.
Big candle is identify by size of the body candle (body size = |open - close|). The script will compare previous size of 20 candles and will plot "BC" if the body size candles is bigger compared to 20 body candles before.
"BC" in Green color = Bullish Big Candle
"BC" in Red color = Bearish Big Candle
Hide Current Bara lightweight overlay indicator designed to hide the color of the active (unconfirmed) candle on the chart.
Key Features:
Purpose: Hide the color of the currently forming bar (i.e., the active candle) on the price chart.
Psychological Benefit of Hiding the Active Candle’s Color
Hiding the color of the active candle can have notable psychological benefits for traders:
Reduction of Bias: The color of a forming candle often fluctuates as prices move up and down during its formation. This can trigger emotional responses such as fear or greed. By removing the color, traders avoid overreacting to incomplete information and are less likely to jump to conclusions based on transient price moves.
Focus on Confirmed Data: Since only completed candles are relevant for most technical analysis, hiding the color of the active candle encourages traders to make decisions based on fully formed and reliable data rather than noise.
Improved Discipline: By not seeing the color of the active candle, traders are less tempted to enter or exit trades impulsively in reaction to price flickers. This promotes a more systematic and disciplined approach.
Minimized Overtrading: Visual cues like bright green or red candles can prompt hasty trades, particularly in fast-moving markets. A transparent active candle helps reduce the temptation to trade every minor tick, fostering patience.
In summary, by hiding the color of the active candle, this script helps traders maintain emotional neutrality and focus on confirmed price action, leading to better, more rational trading decisions.
Wick Ratio IndicatorScript Description: Wick Ratio Indicator
This Pine Script indicator identifies candlesticks with dominant upper or lower wicks and visually marks them on the chart. It helps traders spot potential price rejection signals, often used to anticipate trend reversals or breakout opportunities. Key Features
Wick Length Calculation
Upper Wick: high - max(open, close)
(Measures distance from the highest price to the candle body's top)
Lower Wick: min(open, close) - low
(Measures distance from the candle body's bottom to the lowest price)
Comparison Logic
Green Triangle (▲): Plotted above the candle when the upper wick is longer (bearish rejection signal).
Red Triangle (▼): Plotted below the candle when the lower wick is longer (bullish rejection signal).
Visual Simplicity
Non-intrusive design that overlays directly on price action.
Customizable colors and sizes (modifiable in settings).
Exact High/Low IndicatorThis indicator identifies exact equal highs and lows between consecutive candles. If the current candle’s high matches the previous candle’s high (or low matches low), an arrow is plotted on the chart. The arrows disappear if any future candle break the identified high/low, thereby indicating that it is not an unmitigated liquidity pool any longer
Customizable options include:
Arrow size and color
Line thickness and color
Enable/disable plotting of arrows and lines
Offset the arrow so there is space between arrow and candle
Smart Wick Concept (SWC)Smart Wick Concept (SWC)
The Smart Wick Concept (SWC) is a unique trend-following strategy designed to capture precise entry points in trending markets. This indicator identifies trade opportunities based on higher timeframe trends and wick behavior on lower timeframes, making it an effective tool for intraday and swing traders.
Key Features:
Trend Identification:
SWC uses the H1 timeframe to define the primary market trend (bullish or bearish), ensuring alignment with the overall market direction.
Precise Entry Signals:
Entry opportunities are generated on the M15 timeframe when a candle's wick interacts with the prior candle's range. This approach minimizes false signals and enhances accuracy.
Stop Loss and Take Profit Levels:
The indicator automatically calculates suggested stop loss and take profit levels based on market dynamics, providing traders with a clear risk-reward framework.
Customizable Parameters:
SWC allows traders to adjust key settings, such as the higher timeframe and minimum trend range, to align with their trading preferences and market conditions.
How It Works:
Bullish Entry:
Higher timeframe trend must be bullish.
A M15 candle must dip below the previous candle’s low and close back above it, signaling a potential buy opportunity.
Bearish Entry:
Higher timeframe trend must be bearish.
A M15 candle must exceed the previous candle’s high and close back below it, signaling a potential sell opportunity.
Risk Management:
Stop loss is placed at the low (for buys) or high (for sells) of the current M15 candle.
Take profit targets are calculated at twice the risk, ensuring a favorable risk-reward ratio.
Benefits:
Aligns trades with market momentum.
Reduces noise by filtering out weak or sideways trends.
Provides a structured approach to trading XAUUSD and other volatile instruments.
Use Cases:
The Smart Wick Concept is ideal for traders looking for a disciplined and data-driven approach to trading. While it is optimized for XAUUSD, it can also be applied to other trending markets such as major currency pairs or indices with some parameter adjustments.
Disclaimer:
This indicator is a trading tool and should not be used as a standalone strategy. Always backtest the indicator thoroughly and use proper risk management to protect your capital. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
3AM EST CRT Indicator3AM EST Candle Range Theory Indicator
The 3AM EST Candle Range Theory Indicator is designed to highlight a crucial period in the trading day for Forex and other markets that operate 24/7. This indicator focuses on the 3AM EST candle, which represents the early hours of the U.S. market morning and the midpoint of the European trading session. During this period, volatility often picks up, and the 3AM candle can serve as a powerful reference point for price action throughout the day.
Key Features of the Indicator
3AM Candle Highlighting: The 3AM candle is automatically highlighted in blue, making it easy to spot on the chart. This helps traders quickly identify this pivotal candle without manually searching for it.
Range Lines: The high and low of the 3AM candle are marked by black lines extending across the day. These levels often act as support and resistance, influencing price movement throughout the trading session. Observing how the price interacts with these levels can provide insights into potential breakouts, reversals, or consolidations.
Labels: The high of the 3AM candle is labeled as "3am CRH" (Candle Range High) and the low as "3am CRL" (Candle Range Low). These labels serve as visual cues for traders, reinforcing the importance of these levels on the chart.
How to Use the 3AM EST Candle Range Indicator
Support and Resistance: The high and low of the 3AM candle often serve as strong intraday support and resistance levels. Traders can observe if the price respects or breaks these levels to make decisions about potential entries and exits.
Breakout Trading: If the price breaks above the 3am high (CRH), it can signal bullish momentum, especially when accompanied by increased volume. Conversely, a break below the 3am low (CRL) may indicate bearish momentum. These breakouts can provide potential trade opportunities.
Reversals and Continuations: Often, price will test and reject one of these levels, creating an opportunity for reversal trades. If the price re-enters the 3AM candle range after breaking out, it could signal a potential continuation back into the original trend.
Session Range Guidance: Since the 3AM candle encapsulates both the early U.S. and active European sessions, it often provides a strong reference for the range and sentiment in the early trading hours. The 3AM range can give a sense of market direction and volatility for the day.
Benefits
Clear Visual Cues: The blue candle highlight, black lines, and labels make this indicator visually intuitive and easy to understand at a glance.
Useful Across Market Conditions: Whether markets are trending or ranging, the 3AM high and low can serve as reliable reference points for intraday support and resistance.
Applicable to Various Strategies: This indicator can enhance a variety of trading strategies, including breakout, range trading, and trend-following.
Summary
The 3AM EST Candle Range Theory Indicator provides traders with a reliable way to gauge intraday price levels based on the 3AM EST candle. By observing how the price interacts with the high and low of this candle, traders can gain insights into potential support, resistance, and breakout points. This can be particularly useful for short-term traders looking to capitalize on intraday volatility or longer-term traders seeking reference points for daily price action analysis.
Tapak 20RThis strategy originally developed by Jatrader. Kudos to him for giving me chance to develop this indicator.
This script should be use Light Crude Oil Futures 20 Range chart. (This strategy only proven for 20R range chart, Crude Oil.)
How it works?
If current 20R candle is closed green, the closing value must be higher than previous candle to take long position.
If not, it stays as previous direction.
If current candle is closed red, the closing value must be lower than previous candle to take short position.
If not, it stays as previous direction.
How to use this indicator?
1. First, determine the stoploss point from high or low candle.(if current candle is green, stoploss is set higher than high candle and vice versa)
2. Determine how many tick you want to allowed for stoploss, how much profit (ticks) you want to achieve.
3. Determine the color and thickness of each line.
The table will display all value involved with this strategy such as entry value, stoploss value and target profit value.
Please kept in mind that, this is scalping strategy. So, the recommended target profit should be around 10 - 20 ticks.
Thank you.
Length True Range BarColorOverview
The indicator prints different colors on the candles for pre-determined amplitudes in relation to the simple moving average over the average true range.
Calculations
The indicated value of the simple moving average in relation to the average true range is being used to restrict the color of the candle signal to its pre-determined amplitude.
How It Works
Supposing you have a strategy where there is a need to determine the size of the acceptable signal bar in relation to the average true range, as well as size your stop and target through this range. In summary, coloring based on the size of the amplitude due to the average of the ATR, provides the ease of identifying weak signals, where there will possibly not be a sequence of movement, or identifying stretched signals where it will possibly provide a correction movement. This way you can determine an ideal size range for your input signal. Ex: Color candle signal with size of ( Candle => 2* the SMA (ATR) and <= 3* the SMA (ATR).
Inputs
Valores
Period: To determine the length of the ATR
SMA: To determine the length of the Simple Moving Average
LengthMin: Minimum amplitude size factor
LengthMax: Maximum amplitude size factor
Traço: Coloring ATR
SMA: Coloring SMA
Traço: Coloring TR
Bar Color: Coloring candle Sing
Note 1
The values of ATR, SMA and TR will normally be shown in the indicator header for a dynamic visualization of the values, and possible exceptions for candles signals outside the initially proposed factor can be compared.
Note 2
Codes made available in the PINE language reference manual were used to develop the indicator, therefore it is a practical code for trend following setup strategies not available in the community.

NakInvest - 123 (Bullish & Bearish U-Pattern)📘 Description: U-Shape 123 (Bullish & Bearish Identifier)
This indicator helps you identify the 123 reversal pattern, a powerful yet simple price action setup taught by renowned Brazilian trader Stormer.
I learned this pattern from Lucas Nakata, founder of NakInvest, who was a student of Stormer. Stormer has popularized and refined this setup in the Brazilian trading community, especially for identifying U-shaped reversals that precede strong directional moves.
⸻
🔎 What is the 123 Pattern?
The 123 pattern is a 3-candle formation used to spot bullish or bearish reversals. It forms a “U” or inverted “U” shape and is based purely on candlestick structure — no indicators or lagging signals.
There are two versions:
✅ Bullish 123 (“U” pattern)
• Candle 1: Red candle with a large body (selling pressure).
• Candle 2: Small candle of any color (pause or indecision).
• Candle 3: Green candle with a body at least 70% the size of candle 1 (strong bullish push).
This indicates a potential bullish reversal from a prior downtrend.
❌ Bearish 123 (inverted “U” pattern)
• Candle 1: Green candle with a large body (buying pressure).
• Candle 2: Small candle of any color (pause or indecision).
• Candle 3: Red candle with a body at least 70% the size of candle 1 (strong bearish push).
This indicates a potential bearish reversal from a prior uptrend.
Wick ProportionsThis simple indicator highlights candles with short and long wicks matching a specified percentage of the candle's price range.
The candle is highlighted if the short wick is less than or equal to a specified percentage of the candle price range and the long wick is more than or equal to a specified percentage of the candle price range.
Both percentages can be separately specified as inputs, within reasonable ranges.
The indicator is useful for various strategies attempting to identify price reversal points.
KINGThis indicator generates buy and sell signals based on specific candle patterns involving the size of the candle's body and wicks. A buy signal is triggered when a large bearish candle (body twice the size of its wicks) is followed by a bullish candle with a long lower wick (twice the size of its body and upper wick), and the close is above the low of the bearish candle, while the low of the current candle is lower. A sell signal occurs when a large bullish candle is followed by a candle with a long upper wick, and the close is below the high of the bullish candle, while the high of the current candle is higher. The indicator includes a reset mechanism to avoid premature signals when large candles with contradicting patterns appear.
Ohana_Wick_EntryIndicator will change color depending if a wick comprises of less than 35% of the candlestick.
Strategy involves taking trades on stops above a green signal (<35% wick) to a target of the size of the candle body (expressed as the value in the indicator)
DOJI FU IndicatorIndicator is designed to paint a doji, the size of which can be adjusted in settings.
Provided there is a valid doji, the following candle is a 'FU candle' or an 'Institution' candle. This candle wicks above/below the doji and takes liquidity from above or below.
Colours can be changed
Red = Doji candle
Yellow = FU candle
Example shown on the 1hr chart, red doji indicating a change of trend upwards, the FU candle (yellow) takes liquidity from above and sweeps down.
Tarot : Major ArcanaThis script generates a Major Arcana Tarot card for each candle at its close.
The candle is divided into 22 sections, each section corresponding to one of the Major Arcana.
When a candle closes, it closes in one of those 22 sections and that generates the card.
You could read green candles as upright and red candles as reversals.
Uses
----
Use this to pull a daily card on your chart.
Ask a question on the one-minute chart before the candle closes and wait for your answer.
Use it to forecast the upcoming market.
Anything else!
Enjoy.
Trigram (I Ching)This script generates a Trigram for the current candle at its close.
The idea is simple. It takes the current candle close and the two previous to generate the lines of the Trigram.
In traditional I Ching practices, these are built bottom up. So in this case, the Candle in 2 bars back is the base, 1 bar back is the central line and the current close is the top.
Up candles are yang lines, down candles yin.
Anyways, not sure what use it is yet, but if there is anyone else out there interested in I Ching, Yin/Yang theory and trading, this is for you.
Data High/LowMarks out High and Low of a specified candle.
Intended use for news candle's data high and low.
Time, line color, and line length are customizable in settings options.
Lines are only draw on 1m timeframe and lower.

Volatility and Candle Spikes in Trading
Volatility
Volatility refers to the degree of variation in the price of a financial asset over time. It measures how much the price fluctuates and is often associated with risk and uncertainty in the market. High volatility means larger price swings, while low volatility indicates more stable price movements.
Key aspects of volatility:
Measured using indicators like Average True Range (ATR), Bollinger Bands, and Implied Volatility (IV).
Influenced by factors such as market news, economic events, and liquidity.
Higher volatility increases both risk and potential profit opportunities.
Candle Spikes
A candle spike (or wick) refers to a sudden price movement that forms a long shadow or wick on a candlestick chart. These spikes can indicate strong buying or selling pressure, liquidity hunts, or stop-loss triggers.
Types of candle spikes:
Bullish Spike (Long Lower Wick): Indicates buyers rejected lower prices, pushing the price higher.
Bearish Spike (Long Upper Wick): Suggests sellers rejected higher prices, pushing the price lower.
Stop-Loss Hunt: Market makers may trigger stop-losses by creating artificial spikes before reversing the price.
News-Induced Spikes: Economic data releases or unexpected events can cause sudden price jumps.
Understanding volatility and candle spikes can help traders manage risk, spot entry/exit points, and avoid false breakouts. 🚀📈
