Elite By Ashu4750Inside Bar Detection:
The script identifies inside bars, which are candles where the high is lower and the low is higher than the previous bar. It tracks the high and low of the mother candle (the candle preceding the inside bars) and plots the ranges on the chart using lines and labels.
Exponential Moving Averages (EMA):
Three EMAs are calculated and plotted (with default periods of 9, 21, and 50). This is a classic trend-following technique used to smooth price data and identify the direction of the market.
Bollinger Bands (BB):
The script includes a Bollinger Band calculation using the simple moving average (SMA) with a standard deviation multiplier. The bands help visualize volatility and potential overbought or oversold conditions.
The user can configure settings like the length of the SMA and the multiplier for the upper and lower bands.
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP):
The VWAP is plotted on the chart and reset based on user-defined timeframes (e.g., session, week, month). VWAP is a popular indicator for institutional trading, as it shows the average price weighted by volume and can act as support or resistance.
Crossover Signals (Buy/Sell):
A combination of crossovers between VWAP, EMAs, and Bollinger Bands triggers buy and sell signals. Specifically:
Buy signal is generated when VWAP crosses over the 9 EMA, the close crosses over the Bollinger Band line, and VWAP crosses over the Bollinger Band.
Sell signal is triggered when VWAP crosses under the 9 EMA, and similar conditions exist for the other indicators.
These signals are plotted with a green "Buy" or red "Sell" marker below the bars, and alerts are set up for both buying and selling.
Additional Bollinger Band Configuration:
The script provides more flexibility in Bollinger Bands by allowing the user to select between SMA, EMA, or SMMA for the moving average.
The user can also choose the standard deviation multiplier and whether to display the bands.
Alerts:
Buy and sell conditions are linked to alert conditions, allowing the user to be notified when a signal is triggered, based on the defined crossover logic.
Technical Breakdown:
Inside Bar Logic: Tracks inside bars and plots lines representing the high and low of the mother candle. The line and label functions are used to draw these on the chart, which provides a visual representation of the range.
EMA and VWAP Crossovers:
The 9, 21, and 50-period EMAs are calculated and used in crossover logic with VWAP. Crossovers between VWAP and EMAs are a common method for identifying potential trend changes.
Bollinger Bands:
The Bollinger Band component allows for volatility analysis by calculating the upper and lower bands based on the moving average's standard deviation.
Alert System:
Alerts are set for crossover signals, allowing for real-time notifications of potential buy and sell opportunities.
Visualization:
The script plots the EMAs, VWAP, and Bollinger Bands on the price chart. It highlights inside bar patterns and displays buy/sell markers on the chart when the specified conditions are met. These visual cues make it easier to follow the market’s movements and spot trading opportunities.
Customizability:
The script is highly customizable with inputs for:
EMA periods.
VWAP settings.
Bollinger Band parameters (moving average type, length, standard deviation).
Candle color options for inside bars.
In this traders looking for multiple indicators to analyze market trends, volatility, and price action.

Inside and Outside BarsInside Bar:
An inside bar forms when the high and low range of a candlestick is within the high and low range of the previous candlestick.
In other words, the current candlestick's high is lower than the previous candlestick's high, and the current candlestick's low is higher than the previous candlestick's low.
Inside bars indicate a period of consolidation or indecision in the market. They often occur after a strong move in price and can signal a potential reversal or continuation of the trend, depending on the context.
Outside Bar:
An outside bar (or engulfing bar) forms when the high and low range of a candlestick completely engulfs the high and low range of the previous candlestick.
In bullish outside bars, the current candlestick's high is higher than the previous candlestick's high, and the low is lower than the previous candlestick's low.
In bearish outside bars, the current candlestick's high is lower than the previous candlestick's high, and the low is higher than the previous candlestick's low.
Outside bars often indicate a significant shift in market sentiment. Bullish outside bars suggest increased bullish momentum, while bearish outside bars suggest increased bearish momentum.
InsideBar2.0Inside Bar: Inside Bar is defined as, " when candle body range falls within previous day candle body".
Some of us take the whole prices range . Here i have taken only the price range of the body of tehecandle.
I have created an indicator to identify Inside bras and draw target levels on both the sides. Traders can easily convert it into a strategy and checkout the success rate.
This script is written to identify InsideBar and then plot target 1 and target 2 irrespective the direction of following candles.
Inside Bar is here defined clearly when the whole body( Not high/Low, but Open and Close Only of the candle falls within the whole body of previous candle
Few static Variables are declared for one time use to store the following values
MotherCandle Index
High and Low of MotherCandle
Target 1 equal to size of the body of mother candle
Target 2 equal twice the size of Mother Candle
Depending upon the direction of the trend and breakout of the MotherCandle boundaries, target lines and labels are drawn.
Line.delete function is used to delete all the previous lines to keep the chart clean and not draw line on all every inside-bar detected in the past.
Label.delete function is used to delete all the previous labels for Target levels to clearly show current target levels.
barcolor() function is used to change the inside bar candle changed to "Yellow" .

Advanced Candlestick Patterns [vitruvius]This is a very advanced indicator that detects most commonly used candlestick patterns. Please read this document carefully to understand how it works.
It is tailored to identify patterns that only have a great possibility of signaling a price movement. In other words, it can and will ignore some patterns, even though they satisfy the recognition conditions defined in the books. Candlestick patterns should also satisfy some other conditions in this indicator to be valid and you can modify those conditions.
This indicator is not only about identifying the candlestick patterns. By using the different choices, you can:
Avoid fake signals
Confirm patterns
Increase your possibility to win a trade
Reduce risk
Identify bullish/bearish movements better
Recommended Use
This indicator works best when you:
Use it in the daily time frame
Combine it with Support/Resistance areas
Note: For some candlestick patterns, you have the option of confirming the pattern with the next price action. In those cases, there will be obviously one bar delay (because it will wait for one more bar to close to confirm the pattern). However, it will mark the candlestick where it identifies the pattern and it will have ”Confirmed” in its text.
Important Note
This indicator does some serious calculations and checks for a lot of user inputs. Therefore, it might be a little slow. Please give it some time when it needs to do some computing.
MODULES
Trend Detection
Most of the patterns in this script are trend reversal patterns. So, recognition of the candlestick patterns depends heavily on the trend. In fact, even if you do not select a trend detection method, it will use the SMA method as default where it needs a certain trend in identifying a specific pattern.
It is possible to combine multiple trend detection methods. You can see how this affects the overall trend detection by enabling the background coloring.
Note: There might be some cases where a candle has a bullish/bearish confirmation of the same candlestick pattern . In those cases, the script is unable to identify the move and the user should decide if the identified pattern is bullish or bearish.
Below are the inputs of this module:
Color the background according to the trend?
If you select a trend detection method, it will color the background green for an uptrend and red for a downtrend .
Counter the trend when there is no obvious trend?
If you select multiple trend detection methods, there might be some cases where one of the methods indicates an uptrend and the other one indicates a downtrend . In that case, the script will continue with the previous trend (whatever the trend is one bar ago) by default . You can, however, reverse the trend in those cases by using this option. If you choose to reverse, you might catch the trend early .
Use MACD to detect the trend?
Use MACD to detect the trend. Whenever MACD delta is greater or equal to zero, it is an uptrend .
MACD Fast Length
Fast length of MACD.
MACD Slow Length
Slow length of MACD.
MACD Signal Smoothing
Signal smoothing value of MACD. Please note that it is set to 6 by default.
Use SMA to detect the trend?
Use SMA to detect the trend. If the price closes above the SMA line, it is an uptrend
SMA Length
Length of SMA.
Use the average price of previous candles to detect the trend?
If the average of open and close prices constantly go up for n bars that are determined by the next user input, it is an uptrend .
Number of candles to analyze
The number of bars ( n ) to analyze for the average price method.
Use the closing price of the previous candle to detect the trend?
If the difference between the current close and nth previous bar’s close is greater than the given threshold, it is an uptrend .
Position of the previous candle to analyze
Position of the bar (backward) to compare with the current close price.
Threshold for the closing price
The threshold value for closing price method.
Basic Candlestick Patterns
This module detects Doji, Spinning Top, Marubozu candlestick patterns. Also, you can set some specific options that are going to be used in all candlestick patterns.
Note: If you choose to manually enter the body height of a doji , you need to find the optimal value for different timeframes. Different timeframes have difference price action ranges.
Below are the inputs of this module:
Tolerate opening/closing price of the candle?
When a candlestick pattern needs to have a gap between two candles, you can tolerate the opening/closing prices of the one candle. This option is useful where the opening and closing prices are very close. This option is going to be used in all candlestick patterns.
Factor for tolerating opening/closing price
The more the factor is, the more the tolerance is.
Body/Height ratio for a candle to be considered as Bullish/Bearish
A bullish/bearish candle shouldn’t have too much shadow. You can use this option to determine the shadow length of a bullish/bearish bar. This option is going to be used in all candlestick patterns
Use basic candlestick pattern (Doji, Spinning Top, Marubozu)?
Detect doji, spinning top, marubozu candlestick patterns.
Manually set body of Doji?
You can manually set the body height of a doji. Otherwise, it will be calculated automatically. If you choose to use this option, then spinning top, and marubozu will also be calculated based on this.
Body of Doji
Body height of a bar to be considered as doji . Any bar with a body equal or less than the given value will be marked as doji. Only effective if you check the ”Manually set body of Doji?” option .
Verify a Doji by looking at the preceding candle?
If true, it will only mark dojis if the preceding candle is bullish or bearish.

IB with Range PercentageThis Pine Script indicator for TradingView combines several powerful technical analysis tools to give traders a comprehensive view of market action:
Inside Bar Detection: Identifies the classic inside bar candlestick pattern.
Moving Averages: Provides multiple moving averages to help determine trend and potential support/resistance levels.
Information Table: Displays key market data in a concise table format.
1. Inside Bar Detection and Range
The indicator marks inside bars on the chart. An inside bar is a candlestick where its entire range (high and low) falls within the range of the preceding candlestick (often called the "mother bar"). This pattern often signifies market consolidation or indecision.
Customizable Marking: Users can choose the shape and color used to mark the inside bars, such as triangles, squares, or circles.
Range Percentage: A label shows the range of the inside bar as a percentage of the previous bar's low, providing a quantitative measure of its size.
Time Restriction: A setting allows displaying inside bars only for a specified number of past days, focusing analysis on recent price action.
Customizable Label Size: Users can choose the size of the range percentage label for optimal visibility.
2. Moving Averages for Trend Analysis
The indicator can plot up to four moving averages (MAs) on the chart. Moving averages smooth out price data to help identify trends and potential support and resistance levels.
User-Selectable MA Type: For each MA, traders can choose between Simple Moving Average (SMA) or Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
Customizable Length: Users can specify the length (number of periods) for each MA, such as 20, 50, 100, or 200.
Customizable Color: Each MA's line color can be chosen to suit personal preferences.
Trend Identification: When the price is above an MA, it suggests an uptrend, while prices below suggest a downtrend. The slope of the MA also indicates trend momentum.
3. Information Table for Key Data
A customizable information table is displayed on the chart, providing a quick overview of important market data.
Average Daily Range (ADR) Percentage: Shows the average daily range of the asset as a percentage, reflecting its historical volatility.
Distance from EMAs: Displays how far the current price is from the 10, 20, and 50 period Exponential Moving Averages. A positive percentage indicates the price is above the MA, while a negative percentage means it's below.
Customizable Table Elements: Users can choose the table's background color, text color, and text size for optimal readability.
How to Use This Indicator:
This indicator can be a valuable tool for traders using technical analysis:
Inside Bar Breakouts: Inside bars often precede breakouts. Traders can use the inside bar markings and range percentage to identify potential breakout opportunities.
Confirmation of Trends: Moving averages help confirm the direction of the trend, enabling traders to align their inside bar strategies with the prevailing market direction.
Support and Resistance: Moving averages can act as dynamic support and resistance levels. Traders can look for inside bars forming near these levels as potential entry or exit points.
Volatility and Range Analysis: The ADR percentage helps assess the normal daily range of an asset, which can be useful for setting realistic price targets and managing risk.
Risk Management: The distance from EMAs can alert traders to potential overextended moves, providing information for setting stop-loss or take-profit levels.
By combining these elements, this indicator provides a layered approach to market analysis, allowing traders to identify potential trading opportunities and manage risk effectively based on both candlestick patterns and trend-following indicators. Remember that no indicator guarantees success, and it's essential to use this tool in conjunction with other analysis techniques and proper risk management practices.

AQPRO Block Force
📝 INTRODUCTION
AQPRO Block Force is a powerful trading tool designed to identify and track Orderblocks (OBs) in real-time based on Fair Value Gap (FVG) principles. This indicator employs quite strict yet effective FVG filtering criteria to ensure only significant OBs are displayed, avoiding minor inefficiencies or duplicates within the same impulse or corrective moves. Each OB adapts dynamically to price action and can be categorized as Classic, Strong, or Extreme, based on proprietary conditions and best ideas from SMC (Smart Money Concepts).
In addition to plotting Orderblocks, the indicator offers useful filtering systems like an Age Filter to ensure cleanliness of the OB data on the chart and prevent old, irrelevant OBs from obstructing the chart. Users can also enable MTF (Multi-Timeframe) functionality to view OBs from other timeframes, providing a comprehensive analysis across multiple levels of market structure. With extensive customization options, AQPRO Block Force allows traders to tailor the visuals and behavior to fit their specific trading preferences.
This indicator does not parse any instituotinal data, order books and other fancy financial sources for finding order blocks nor it uses them for confirmation purposes. Calculations algorithms of order blocks are based purely on current asset's price history.
IMPORTANT NOTE: in the sections below term 'quality' will be applied to orderblocks quite a number of times. By 'quality' in the context of orderblocks we mean the reaction of price upon the sweep of orderblock. Basically, if the price reverses after reaching the orderblock, this orderblock is considered to be of high quality. Definition for low -quality orderblock can be deducted by analogy.
🎯 PURPOSE OF USAGE
This indicator serves one and only purpose — help traders identify most lucrative institutional orderblocks on the chart in real time. Even though event of price reaching an orderblock cannot be considered as a sole signal in many trading strategies without proper confirmation, such event nevertheless is quite important in SMC-based trading, because when price sweeps OB it usually means, that a reversal will soon follow, but, of course, this is not the case every time.
Traders should not expect from this indicator detection of perfect orderblocks, which would surely revese the price on encounter, but they can expect is a time-proven algorithm of determing orderblocks that on average produces more high-quality orderblocks than simple similar tools from open-source libraries.
More in-depth advices on the usage will be given in the sections below, but for now let's summarise subgoals of the indicator:
Detecting orderblocks filtered through strict FVG validation rules to improve overall quality of orderblocks;
Classifying orderblocks as Classic, Strong, or Extreme based on wether or not classic orderblocks pass filtering conditions, which are based on crossing critical price levels and SMC principles like ChoCh (Change of Character);
Eliminating clutter and manage chart space with the Age Filter, removing old OBs outside a user-defined age range;
Utilizing MTF functionality to track significant OBs from other timeframes alongside current timeframe analysis;
Providing traders with customization options for indicator's visuals to help them organize information on the chart in a clean way.

📈 APPLICATION GUIDE
Application methodology of this indicator is pretty much the same as with any other indicator, whose purpose is to find and display orderblocks on the chart. However, before actually diving into the guide on application, we want to make a small step back to remind traders of the history of orderblocks as a concept, its limitations and benefits.
Orderblocks themselves are essentially just zones of potential institutional interest, which if reached are expected to reverse the price in the opposite direction. 'Potential' is a suitable remark for indicator's success probability, because, as was mentioned above, orderblocks don't guarantee price reversal regardless of quality of the indicator. This is the case for the simplest of reasons — orderblocks are based solely on price history and thus are to be considered a mathematical model , degree of success of which is never 100%, because all mathematical models abide by a "golden rule of trading" : past performance doesn't guarantee future results.
However, the extensive history of orderblocks clearly shows that this tool, despite being decades old, can still help traders produce market insights and improve any strategy's performance. Orderblocks can be used both as a primary source of signals and as confirmation tool, but from our experience they are better to be used as confirmation tool. Our indicator is not an exception in this matter and we advice any trader to use it mainly for confirmation purposes, because use-case of orderblocks as confirmation tools have much success stories on average than being used as primary signal source.
This being said, let's return to the application guide and start reviewing the indicator from the most basic step — how it will look like when you first load it on your chart:
This indicator consisis of 3 main logic blocks:
Orderblock evaluation;
MTF Orderblock evaluation;
Orderblock post-filtering.
The principles behind these logic blocks will be easy to understand for truly experiences traders, but we understand the need to explain them to a wider audience, so let's review each of these logic blocks below.
ORDERBLOCK EVALUATION
Principles behind our orderblock detection logic are as follows:
Find FVG (Fair Value Gap) .
Note: this indicator uses only three-candle FVGs and doesn't track FVGs with insidebars after third (farther) candle.
If you don't know what FVG means, we recommend researching this term in the Internet, but the basic explanation is this: FVG is the formation of candles, which are positioned in a way that there are an unclosed price area between 1st and 3rd candle.
Conditions:
bullish FVG = high of 3rd candle < low of 1st candle AND high of 3rd candle < close of 2nd candle AND high of 2nd candle < close of 1st candle AND low of 3rd candle < low of 2nd candle ;
bearish FVG = low of 3rd candle < high of 1st candle AND low of 3rd candle > close of 2nd candle AND low of 2nd candle > close of 1st candle AND high of 3rd candle > high of 2nd candle .
See visual showcase of valid & invalid bullish & bearish FVGs on the screenshot below:
As was shown on the screenshot above, the only correc t formation for FVGs are considered to be just like on pictures 1 and 2 (leftmost column of patterns) . Only these formations will take part in further determenings orderblocks.
Send FVGs through filtering conditions.
This is the truly important part. Without properly filtering FVGs we would get huge clusters of FVGs on the chart and they will not make sense to be reviewed, because there will be just too much of them and their quality will be very questionable .
Even though there is a quite number of ways to filter FVGs, we decided to go with the ones we deem actually useful. For this indicator we chose two methods, that work in tandem — 1) base candle's inside bar condition and 2) single appearance on current impulse/correction line. Let's review these conditions below and start with looking at the examples of them on the screenshot below:
Examples of 1st & 2nd conditions are displayed on the left and right charts respectively.
The filtering logic in 1st and 2nd is quite connected and further explanation should help you understand it just enough to start trading with our indicator.
Let's start with explaining the term 'base candle' and logic behind it. Base candle candle be explained quite shortly: it is the latest candle on the chart, whose high or low broke previous base candle's high or low respectively. The first candle in the time series of price data is by default considered the base candle. If any new candle after base candle doesn't overtake base candle's high or low (meaning, that this candle is inside the range of base candle), such candle is called an "inside bar" .
Inside bar's term is important to understand, because FVGs, which appear inside the inside bars are usually quite useless, because price doesn't react from them, so orderblocks with such FVGs are also of bad quality as well. Clear depiction of inside bar was provided in the screenshot of conditions above on the left chart, so we won't waste time making another example.
However, this is not it. Base candle, inside bars and a few other types of bars are all a part of SMC ideas and in the world of SMC there is a special term, that hold the most important place and is considered the cornerstone of SMC methodology — impulse/correction lines (valid pullbacks) . The average definition of impulse/correction lines is quite hard to understand for an average trader, but we can summarise like this:
Impulse/correction line is a line, that starts at the beginning of the sequence of base candles, each new candle of which consistently updates previous base candle's respective high/low.
We won't go into description of this principle because it is outside of scope of this indicator, but you can research this topic in the Internet by keywords ' impulse correction trading ' or 'valid pullback principles trading '. The general idea of usage of impulse/correction lines in the context of this indicator is that each such lines 'holds' inside at least one FVG and we need to find exactly the first FVG, while leaving all other FVGs behind, because they to be of worse quality on average.
Basically, by using translating these terms into conditions from example above, we have achieved a simple yet powerful filtering system. system for FVGs, which allows us to work with orderblocks of much higher quality than average open-source indicators.
If FVG passed filters, evaluate its OB.
When FVG is confirmed, we can start the evaluation of its orderblock. The evaluation of orderblocks consists of several checkpoints: 1) is orderblock beyond current ChoCh* AND/OR 2) is orderblock from extreme price levels, calculated by our proprietary risk system. Let's review these checkpoints below.
* ChoCh (Change of Character, fundamental SMC idea) — price level, which if broken by close of price can potentially cause a revesal of the trend to direction opposite to the the previous one. To learn more about ChoCh please research the term on the Internet, because this indicator uses its standard definition and explaining of this term goes beyond the scope of this indicator.
To determine if orderblock is beyond current ChoCh levels, we need to first determine where these levels are on the chart. ChoCh levels of this indicator are calculated with a very lite approach, which is based on pivot points.
You can see basic demonstration of ChoCh levels in action on the screenshot below:
IMPORTANT NOTE: pivot period for pivots points inside our indicator is by default equal to 5 and cannot be changed in settings at the moment of publication.
On the screenshot above you can clearly see that ChoCh levels are essentially highest/lowest pivot point levels in between certain range of bars, where price doesn't update its extremum. You can see on there screenshot a new type of line — BoS (Break of Structure). BoS is almost the same thing as ChoCh, but with one change: it is a confirmation of price updating its extremum in the same direction as it was before, while ChoCh updates price extremum in the direction opposite to which it was before .
Why do these levels matter when evaluating the orderblocks? Orderblocks, which are located beyond current BoS/ChoCh levels, are of much higher quality on average than average orderblocks and they are called Strong Orderblocks .
On the chart such orderblocks are marked with 'Strong OB' label inside the body of an orderblock.
You can see the examples of Strong OBs on the screenshot below:
That was the explanation of the 1st orderblock evaluation criteria. Now let's talk about the 2nd one.
Our 2nd evaluation criteria for orderblocks is a test on whether or price is behind specific price level, which is calculated by our proprietary risk system, which is based on fundamental of statistics, such as 'standard deviation' and etc.
This criteria allows us to catch orderblocks, which are located at quite extreme price levels, and mark them on trader's chart explicitly. Orderblocks, which are above our custom price levels, are called Extreme Orderblocks an are marked with 'Extreme OB' label inside orderblock's body.
You can see the example of Extreme OB on the screenshot below:
That was the explanation of the 2nd evaluation criteria of the orderblock.
If an orderblock doesn't pass any of these two criterias, it is considered a classic orderblock. These orderblock are most common ones and have the lowest success rate among other types of orderblocks, listed above. Such orderblocks are marked with 'OB' label inside the orderblock's body.
You can see the examples of classic OB on the screenshot below:
This is it for orderblock evaluation logic. After doing all these steps, all orderblocks that we found are collected and displayed on the chart with their bodies and label marks.
What happens after the detection of the orderblocks?
All active orderblocks are being tracked in real time and their statuses are being updated as well (Strong orderblock can become Extreme orderblock and vice versa) . By an active orderblock we mean an orderblock, which wasn't swept by price's high or low. Bodies of active orderblocks are prolonged to the next candle on each new candle.
If an orderblock was swept, indicator will stop prolonging this orderblock and will mark it as swept on the chart with almost hollow body and dashed border line of the orderblock's body. Also swept orderblocks lose their name label, so you won't see any text in the orderblock after it was swept, but you will see its colour.
You can see the example of an active & swept orderblocks on the screenshot below:
This functionality helps distinguish active orderblocks from swept ones (inactive) and make more informed decisions.
MTF OB EVALUATION
Principles of MTF OBs evaluation are exactly the same as they are for current timeframe's OBs.
MTF OBs are displayed on the chart in same way as other OBs, but with one little change: to the right side of MTF OB's status will be postfix of the timeframe, from which this OB came from. Timeframe for MTF OBs can be chosen by user in the settings of the indicator.
MTF OBs also preserve their statuses (Strong, Extreme and Classic) when displayed on the current timeframe, so you won't stack of mistakenly marked MTF OBs as Extreme just because they are far away from the price.
You can see the example of MTF OBs on the screenshot below:
Also MTF OBs when swept lose only their name label, but the timeframe postfix will still be there, so you could distinguish MTF OBs from OBs of the current timeframe.
See the example of swept MTF OBs below:
Overall MTF orderblocks is a very useful to get a sense of where the higher timeframe liquidity reside and then adjust your strategy accordingly. Taking your trades from the place of high liquidity, like orderblocks, doesn't guarantee certain solid price reaction, but it definitely provides a trader with much a greater change of 1) catching a decent price move 2) not losing money white trading against institutional players.
As was stated above, we recommend using this tool as a confirmation system for your main trading strategy, because its usage as primary source of signals in the long-run is not viable, judging from historical backtest results and general public opinions of traders.
ORDERBLOCK POST-FILTERING
To enhance filtering capabilities of this indicator even further, we decided to add two filters, which would help reduce the amount of bad and untradeable orderblocks. These two filters are 1) age filter and 2) cancellation filter. Let's review both of them below.
Talking about the age filter , this filter was designed to help get rid of old orderblocks, which clutter the chart with visual noise and make it harder to find valueable orderblocks. This filter has to parameters: min age and max age . What does age mean in the context of an orderblock? It is the distance between OB's left border's bar and current bar. If this distance is between min age and max age values, such orderblock is considered valid and age filter passes it for further evaluation, but this distance is too short or too long, age filter deletes this orderblock from the chart.
You can the example of an orderblock which didn't pass age filter requirements and was deleted from the chart on the screenshot below:
It is important to mention that the missing orderblock from the right chart will be appear on the chart right when its age will exceed min age parameter of age filter.
The principle of work for max age parameter can be deducted by analogy: if the orderblock's age in bigger than max age value of age filter, this orderblock will be deleted from the chart .
For MTF OBs we decided to their own age filter, so that it won't abide by current timeframe's restrictions, because MTF OBs are usually much older than OB from current timeframe, so they would deleted a lot of time before they even appear on the chart, if they would abide by the age filter of current timeframe.
Default parameters of age filter are "max age = 500" and "min age = 0" . "Min age = 0" means that there is restrictions on the minimum age of orderblocks and they will appear on the chart as soon as the indicator validates them.
That was the explanation of the age filter.
Talking about the cancellation filter , this filter was intended to spot orderblocks which were extremely untradable and visually alert traders about them on the chart. In this indicator this filter works like this: for each orderblock cancellation filter creates a special price level and checks if it was broken by the close of price.
This special price level consists of the farthest border. of the orderblock ( top border for bearish OBs and bottom border for bullish OBs) and a certain threshold, which is added to the farthest border. This threshold is based on the current ATR value of the asset. This filter helps detect the orderblocks which should not be considered for trading, because price has already went too far beyond the liquidity of this orderblock.
Orderblocks, which are spotted by this filter, are marked with '❌' emoji on the price history.
You can see the example of an orderblock which was spotted by the cancellation filter in the screenshot below:
This filter is applied to both current timeframe and MTF timeframe and is NOT configurable in the settings.
🔔 ALERTS
This indicator employs alerts for an event when new signal occurs on the current timeframe or on MTF timeframe. While creating the alert below 'Condition' field choose 'any alert() function call'.
When this alert is triggered, it will generate this kind of message:
// Alerts for current timeframe
string msg_template = "EXCHANGE:ASSET, TIMEFRAME: BULLISH_OR_BEARISH OB at SWEPT_OB_BORDER_PRICE was reached."
string msg_example = "BINANCE:BTCUSDT, 15m: bearish OB at 170000.00 was reached."
// Alerts for MTF timeframe
string msg_template_mtf = "EXCHANGE:ASSET, TIMEFRAME: BULLISH_OR_BEARISH MTF OB at SWEPT_OB_BORDER_PRICE was reached."
string msg_example_mtf = "BINANCE:BTCUSDT, 15m: bearish MTF OB at 170000.00 was reached."
📌 NOTES
These OBs work on any timeframe, but we would advise to to use on higher timeframes, starting from at least 15m, because liquidity from higher timeframe tends to be much valuable when deciding which orderblock to take for a trade;
Use these OBs as a confirmation tool for your main strategy and refrain from using them as primary signal source. Traders, which use SMC-based strategies, will benefit from these orderblocks the most;
We recommend trading only with Strong and Extreme orderblocks, because they are proved to be of much greater quality than classic orderblocks and they work quite well in mid-term and long-term trading strategies. Classic orderblocs can be used for short-term trading strategies, but even in this case these OBs cannot be blindly trusted;
We strongly advise against take for a trading orderblocks, which were spotted by cancellation filter, because they are considered to be voided of liquidity;
Don't forget that you can toggle different types of OBs, MTF settings and visual settings in the settings of the indicator and fine-tune them to your liking.
🏁 AFTERWORD
AQPRO Block Force is an indicator which designed with idea of helping trading save time on automatically detecting valuable orderblocks on the chart, evaluate their strength and filter out bad orderblocks. These employ the best principles of SMC, including FVGs, valid pullbacks and etc. FVGs play the key role in validating the existence of a particular orderblock and work in tandem with valid pullback to determine the maximum amount of true FVGs even in the most cluttered impulse/correction moves of the price. Our filters — Age Filter and Cancellation Filter — enhance the quality of the orderblocks by allowing only the newest and liquid orderblocks to appear on the chart. Additional MTF functionality allow trader to see orderblocks from other timeframe, which can be chosen in the settings, and get a sense of where the global liquidity resides. This indicator will be a useful confirmation tool to any trading strategy, but the SMC traders will surely get the most benefits out of it.

AL Brooks - Price Action Multi-Signal Suite📘 Price Action Multi-Signal Suite📘
This indicator is a complete visual toolset for traders who use price action principles inspired by Al Brooks-style analysis.
It combines multiple nuanced signals — like first/second entries, breakout failures, trend bias, higher-timeframe context, and dynamic trend channels — into one elegant, customizable interface.
It is built with clarity, flexibility, and actionable precision in mind.
🧠 Core Concepts Behind the Tool
1. Trend Bias with EMA (20 by default)
The indicator calculates a standard EMA (default: 20) to establish trend direction bias.
When price is above EMA, we consider the market to be in a bull trend, and vice versa.
The EMA line changes color dynamically — green (bull), red (bear), gray (neutral).
🟢 Example:
If price is forming higher highs and staying above EMA with strong bull bars, the bias is bullish. In this phase, you're looking for High 1 and High 2 (H1/H2) setups.
2. First and Second Entries (H1/H2 and L1/L2)
High 1 (H1): First pullback in a bull trend after a minor new high.
High 2 (H2): A second attempt to push up after a failed H1.
Low 1 (L1) and Low 2 (L2): Mirror the above logic for bear trends.
📈 Example Trade – H2 Long:
Price breaks out above EMA.
Pulls back and forms an H1, but it fails to break out.
Second push (H2) forms a higher low, then closes strong above previous bar → BUY entry.
📉 Example Trade – L2 Short:
Market is below EMA.
A rally creates L1, fails.
L2 forms and closes below the previous bar low with a bear body → SELL entry.
3. Second Entry Logic (Simplified Swing Count)
This adds context to H2/L2 by ensuring at least two swings occurred in the same direction.
Reduces false signals in choppy markets.
Painted as colored circles (aqua = long, fuchsia = short).
4. Breakout Failure Detection
Detects false breakouts using 10-bar highs/lows:
Failed High Breakout: Price breaks a 10-bar high but closes back inside → potential reversal short.
Failed Low Breakout: Price breaks a 10-bar low but closes back inside → potential long.
🚨 Example:
Price breaks above a recent high but closes below it with a strong bear bar → look for reversal or fade setups.
5. Inside / Outside Bars
Helps recognize compression (inside bars) or volatility expansions (outside bars).
Inside bars often precede breakouts.
Outside bars may signal traps or indecision.
Use these in combination with entry logic. An H2 after an inside bar can signal a strong, clean breakout.
6. Higher Timeframe (HTF) Context
Pulls EMA and trend bias from a higher timeframe (default: 1hr).
Background color indicates HTF bias (adjustable opacity).
Green = HTF uptrend.
Red = HTF downtrend.
🧭 Usage: Trade in the direction of the HTF bias when possible. An H2 with HTF bias bullish adds confluence.
7. Trend Channels (Automatic, Visual)
Dynamically draws trend channel lines based on pivot highs/lows.
These act as support/resistance, visual guides for traps or continuation.
Trendline breakouts or touches often align with H2/L2 setups.
📏 Example:
Price touches lower channel and forms a second entry long (L2) with a strong bull bar → high-quality reversal trade.
⚙️ Customization Options
Toggle each signal component (entries, bias, bars, failures, channels).
Adjust EMA length, HTF resolution, background opacity.
Keep your chart clean and focused on the signals that matter to you.
📊 Trade Example Summary
H2 with HTF Bullish
Trade Setup: Strong bull bar after a failed H1, above EMA
Expected Move: Trend continuation upward
L2 with Channel Hit
Trade Setup: Pullback hits lower trend channel, forms L2
Expected Move: Reversal or scalp down
Failed High Breakout
Trade Setup: Price breaks above a 10-bar high, but reverses and closes inside
Expected Move: Quick fade or reversal short
Inside Bar + H2
Trade Setup: Price compresses into an inside bar, followed by a breakout with H2
Expected Move: Momentum breakout trade
Outside Bar + L2
Trade Setup: Price breaks strongly in one direction (outside bar), second push fails upward, forms L2
Expected Move: Short on weakness
Please note, this is an educational idea and representation of whatever I understood of it.
Historical performances may not be replicable in present/future.
Trade at your own responsibility.

IB & Hammer at SMA(20,50|200)IB & Hammer at SMA (20, 50, 200) Breakout/Breakdown Indicator
Overview:
The IB (Inside Bar) & Hammer at SMA Breakout/Breakdown Indicator is designed to identify breakout and breakdown opportunities using Inside Bars (IB) in combination with Simple Moving Averages (SMA 20, 50, 200) as key trend filters. This indicator is useful for traders looking to catch momentum moves after consolidation phases, confirming the trend direction with moving averages.
Indicator Logic:
Inside Bar (IB) Detection:
An Inside Bar is a candlestick that is completely within the range of the previous candle (i.e., lower high and higher low).
Inside Bars indicate consolidation, suggesting a potential breakout.
SMA Trend Confirmation:
The script uses three moving averages (SMA 20, 50, 200) to determine the trend direction.
Bullish trend: Price is above the 50 & 200 SMAs.
Bearish trend: Price is below the 50 & 200 SMAs.
The 20 SMA is used as a dynamic short-term momentum filter.
Breakout & Breakdown Conditions:
Breakout: When price breaks above the Inside Bar’s high, and the trend is bullish (above key SMAs).
Breakdown: When price breaks below the Inside Bar’s low, and the trend is bearish (below key SMAs).
Alerts can be set to notify traders of potential trade opportunities.
Features:
✅ Identifies Inside Bars (consolidation zones).
✅ Uses SMA (20, 50, 200) for trend confirmation.
✅ Breakout/Breakdown signals based on Inside Bar structure.
✅ Customizable Moving Averages & Alerts.
✅ Visual markers for easy trade identification.
How to Use:
Confirm Trend Direction:
If the price is above SMA 50 & 200, look for breakout trades.
If the price is below SMA 50 & 200, look for breakdown trades.
Watch for Inside Bars:
The script highlights Inside Bars with a specific color (configurable).
These bars indicate a low-volatility phase, preparing for a breakout.
Trade on Breakout/Breakdown:
Breakout: Enter long when the price breaks above the Inside Bar’s high (bullish trend).
Breakdown: Enter short when the price breaks below the Inside Bar’s low (bearish trend).
EagleVision.V33 - Inside Pin Bar EagleVision.V33 is a specialized indicator designed for traders who focus on price action. It detects and highlights the Inside Pin Bar candle pattern, a key signal that can indicate potential market reversals or trend continuations. This tool is invaluable for traders who rely on precise candlestick patterns to make data-driven decisions.
Features:
• Customizable Pattern Highlighting: EagleVision.V33 allows traders to choose custom colors to highlight Inside Pin Bar patterns directly on the chart. This makes identifying critical trading signals straightforward, even in busy market conditions.
• Pin Bar Candle Customization: Beyond just highlighting, the indicator enables users to change the color of the detected pin bar itself, ensuring that crucial patterns are immediately visible and easy to track.
• Versatile Timeframe Application: The indicator can be applied across various timeframes, from intraday (1 minute, 5 minutes) to longer-term charts (daily, weekly). Users can easily switch between timeframes within the settings, making it adaptable to different trading strategies.
• Enhanced Visual Clarity with Background Highlighting: For traders who prefer additional emphasis, EagleVision.V33 offers an option to apply a background color that highlights the entire region where the Inside Pin Bar pattern is detected.
How It Works:
• Inside Bar Identification: The indicator first identifies an Inside Bar, where a candle’s high and low fall within the range of the preceding candle (the mother bar). This is a foundational pattern in price action trading.
• Pin Bar Detection: It then checks if the candle is a Pin Bar, characterized by a small body and a prominent wick (either upper or lower), which typically signals potential market turning points.
• Pattern Highlighting & Visualization: Upon detecting both conditions (Inside Bar and Pin Bar), EagleVision.V33 highlights the pattern using customizable shapes and colors, and optionally applies a background shade to further enhance visibility.
Use Cases:
• Reversals at Key Levels: The Inside Pin Bar pattern often appears at significant support or resistance levels, signaling potential reversals. EagleVision.V33 helps traders spot these opportunities early.
• Trend Continuations: In trending markets, this pattern can confirm the continuation of a trend, providing traders with the confidence to hold positions or enter new ones.
Customization Options:
• Pattern Highlight Color: Choose a distinct color for the label or shape that marks the Inside Pin Bar pattern, making it stand out against other chart elements.
• Pin Bar Candle Color: Customize the color of the Pin Bar itself, ensuring that it is immediately recognizable on the chart.
• Background Highlighting: Optionally apply a background color to the chart area where the pattern is detected, further enhancing visual clarity and making it easier to spot potential trading opportunities.
Why EagleVision.V33 Stands Out:
EagleVision.V33 is not just another pattern detection tool; it’s engineered for precision and clarity, with highly customizable features that cater to the unique needs of price action traders. By combining both Inside Bar and Pin Bar detection, it offers a powerful edge, providing traders with actionable insights directly on their charts.

Price Action Trend and Margin EquityThe Price Action Trend and Margin Equity indicator is a multifunctional market analysis tool that combines elements of money management and price pattern analysis. The indicator helps traders identify key price action patterns and determine optimal entry, exit and stop loss levels based on the current trend.
The main components of the indicator:
Money Management:
Allows the trader to set risk management parameters such as the percentage of possible loss on the position, the use of fixed leverage and the total capital.
Calculates the required leverage level to achieve a specified percentage of loss.
Price Action:
Correctly identifies various price patterns such as Pin Bar, Engulfing Bar, PPR Bar and Inside Bar.
Displays these patterns on the chart with the ability to customize candle colors and display styles.
Allows the trader to customize take profit and stop loss points to display them on the chart.
The ability to display patterns only in the direction of the trend.
Trend: (some code taken from ChartPrime)
Uses a trend cloud to visualize the current market direction.
The trend cloud is displayed on the chart and helps traders determine whether the market is in an uptrend or a downtrend.
Alert:
Allows you to set an alert that will be triggered when the pattern is formed.
Example of use:
Let's say a trader uses the indicator to trade the crypto market. He sets the money management parameters, setting the maximum loss per position to 5% and using a fixed leverage of 1:100. The indicator automatically calculates the required position size to meet these parameters ($: on the label). Or displays the leverage (X: on the label) to achieve the required risk.
The trader receives an alert when a Pin Bar is formed. The indicator displays the entry, exit, and stop loss levels based on this pattern. The trader opens a position for the recommended amount in the direction indicated by the indicator and sets the stop loss and take profit at the recommended levels.
General Settings:
Position Loss Percentage: Sets the maximum loss percentage you are willing to take on a single position.
Use Fixed Leverage: Enables or disables the use of fixed leverage.
Fixed Leverage: Sets the fixed leverage level.
Total Equity: Specifies the total equity you are using for trading. (Required for calculation when using fixed leverage)
Turn Patterns On/Off: You can turn on or off the display of various price patterns such as Pin Bar, Outside Bar (Engulfing), Inside Bar, and PPR Bar.
Pattern Colors: Sets the colors for displaying each pattern on the chart.
Candle Color: Allows you to set a neutral color for candles that do not match the price action.
Show Lines: Allows you to turn on or off the display of labels and lines.
Line Length: Sets the length of the stop, entry, and take profit lines.
Label color: One color for all labels (configured below) or the color of the labels in the color of the candle pattern.
Pin entry: Select the entry point for the pin bar: candle head, bar close, or 50% of the candle.
Coefficients for stop and take lines.
Use trend for price action: When enabled, will show price action signals only in the direction of the trend.
Display trend cloud: Enables or disables the display of the trend cloud.
Cloud calculation period: Sets the period for which the maximum and minimum values for the cloud are calculated. The longer the period, the smoother the cloud will be.
Cloud colors: Sets the colors for uptrends and downtrends, as well as the transparency of the cloud.
The logic of the indicator:
Pin Bar is a candle with a long upper or lower shadow and a short body.
Logic: If the length of one shadow is twice the body and the opposite shadow of the candle, it is considered a Pin Bar.
An Inside Bar is a candle that is completely engulfed by the previous candle.
Logic: If the high and low of the current candle are inside the previous candle, it is an Inside Bar.
An Outside Bar or Engulfing is a candle that completely engulfs the previous candle.
Logic: If the high and low of the current candle are outside the previous candle and close outside the previous candle, it is an Outside Bar.
A PPR Bar is a candle that closes above or below the previous candle.
Logic: If the current candle closes above the high of the previous candle or below its low, it is a PPR Bar.
Stop Loss Levels: Calculated based on the specified ratios. If set to 1.0, it shows the correct stop for the pattern by pushing away from the entry point.
Take Profit Levels: Calculated based on the specified ratios.
Create a Label: The label is created at the stop loss level and contains information about the potential leverage and loss.
The formula for calculating the $ value is:
=(Total Capital x (Maximum Loss Percentage on Position/100)) / (Difference between Entry Level and Stop Loss Level × Ratio that sets the stop loss level relative to the length of the candlestick shadow × Fixed Leverage Value) .
Labels contain the following information:
The percentage of price change from the recommended entry point to the stop loss level.
Required Leverage (X: ): The amount of leverage required to achieve the specified loss percentage. (Or a fixed value if selected).
Required Capital ($: ): The amount of capital required to open a position with the specified leverage and loss percentage (only displayed when using fixed leverage).
The trend cloud identifies the maximum and minimum price values for the specified period.
The cloud value is set depending on whether the current price is equal to the high or low values.
If the current closing price is equal to the high value, the cloud is set at the low value, and vice versa.

Индикатор "Price Action Trend and Margin Equity" представляет собой многофункциональный инструмент для анализа рынка, объединяющий в себе элементы управления капиталом и анализа ценовых паттернов. Индикатор помогает трейдерам идентифицировать ключевые прайс экшн паттерны и определять оптимальные уровни входа, выхода и стоп-лосс на основе текущего тренда.
Основные компоненты индикатора:
Управление капиталом:
Позволяет трейдеру задавать параметры управления рисками, такие как процент возможного убытка по позиции, использование фиксированного плеча и общий капитал.
Рассчитывает необходимый уровень плеча для достижения заданного процента убытка.
Price Action:
Правильно идентифицирует различные ценовые паттерны, такие как Pin Bar, Поглащение Бар, PPR Bar и Внутренний Бар.
Отображает эти паттерны на графике с возможностью настройки цветов свечей и стилей отображения.
Позволяет трейдеру настраивать точки тейк профита и стоп лосса для отображения их на графике.
Возможность отображения паттернов только в натправлении тренда.
Trend: (часть кода взята у ChartPrime)
Использует облако тренда для визуализации текущего направления рынка.
Облако тренда отображается на графике и помогает трейдерам определить, находится ли рынок в восходящем или нисходящем тренде.
Оповещение:
Дает возможность установить оповещение которое будет срабатывать при формировании паттерна.
Пример применения:
Предположим, трейдер использует индикатор для торговли на крипто рынке. Он настраивает параметры управления капиталом, устанавливая максимальный убыток по позиции в 5% и используя фиксированное плечо 1:100. Индикатор автоматически рассчитывает необходимый объем позиции для соблюдения этих параметров ($: на лейбле). Или отображает плечо (Х: на лейбле) для достижения необходимого риска.
Трейдер получает оповещение о формировании Pin Bar. Индикатор отображает уровни входа, выхода и стоп-лосс, основанные на этом паттерне. Трейдер открывает позицию на рекомендуемую сумму в направлении, указанном индикатором, и устанавливает стоп-лосс и тейк-профит на рекомендованных уровнях.
Общие настройки:
Процент убытка по позиции: Устанавливает максимальный процент убытка, который вы готовы понести по одной позиции.
Использовать фиксированное плечо: Включает или отключает использование фиксированного плеча.
Уровень фиксированного плеча: Задает уровень фиксированного плеча.
Общий капитал: Указывает общий капитал, который вы используете для торговли. (Необходим для расчета при использовании фиксированного плеча)
Включение/отключение паттернов: Вы можете включить или отключить отображение различных ценовых паттернов, таких как Pin Bar, Outside Bar (Поглощение), Inside Bar и PPR Bar.
Цвета паттернов: Задает цвета для отображения каждого паттерна на графике.
Цвет свечей: Позволяет задать нейтральный цвет для свечей неподходящих под прйс экшн.
Показывать линии: Позволяет включить или отключить отображение лейблов и линий.
Длинна линий: Настройка длинны линий стопа, линии входа и тейк профита.
Цвет лейбла: Один цвет для всех лейблов (настраивается ниже) или цвет лейблов в цвет паттерна свечи.
Вход в пин: Выбор точки входа для пин бара: голова свечи, точка закрытия бара или 50% свечи.
Коэффиценты для стоп и тейк линий.
Использовать тренд для прайс экшна: При включении будет показывать прайс экшн сигналы только в направлении тренда.
Отображение облака тренда: Включает или отключает отображение облака тренда.
Период расчета облака: Устанавливает период, за который рассчитываются максимальные и минимальные значения для облака. Чем больше период, тем более сглаженным будет облако.
Цвета облака: Задает цвета для восходящего и нисходящего трендов, а также прозрачность облака.
Логика работы индикатора:
Pin Bar — это свеча с длинной верхней или нижней тенью и коротким телом.
Логика: Если длина одной тени вдвое больше тела и противоположной тени свечи, считается, что это Pin Bar.
Inside Bar — это свеча, полностью поглощенная предыдущей свечой.
Логика: Если максимум и минимум текущей свечи находятся внутри предыдущей свечи, это Inside Bar.
Outside Bar или Поглощение — это свеча, которая полностью поглощает предыдущую свечу.
Логика: Если максимум и минимум текущей свечи выходят за пределы предыдущей свечи и закрывается за пределами предыдущей свечи, это Outside Bar.
PPR Bar — это свеча, которая закрывается выше или ниже предыдущей свечи.
Логика: Если текущая свеча закрывается выше максимума предыдущей свечи или ниже ее минимума, это PPR Bar.
Уровни стоп-лосс: Рассчитываются на основе заданных коэффициентов. При значении 1.0 показывает правильный стоп для паттерна отталкиваясь от точки входа.
Уровки тейк-профита: Рассчитываются на основе заданных коэффициентов.
Создание метки: Метка создается на уровне стоп-лосс и содержит информацию о потенциальном плече и убытке.
Формула для вычисления значения $:
=(Общий капитал x (Максимальный процент убытка по позиции/100)) / (Разница между уровнем входа и уровнем стоп-лосс × Коэффициент, задающий уровень стоп-лосс относительно длины тени свечи × Значение фиксированного плеча).
Метки содержат следующую информацию:
Процент изменения цены от рекомендованной точки входа до уровня стоп-лосс.
Необходимое плечо (Х: ): Уровень плеча, необходимый для достижения заданного процента убытка. (Или фиксированное значение если оно выбрано).
Необходимый капитал ($: ): Сумма капитала, необходимая для открытия позиции с заданным плечом и процентом убытка (отображается только при использовании фиксированного плеча).
Облако тренда определяет максимальные и минимальные значения цены за указанный период.
Значение облака устанавливается в зависимости от того, совпадает ли текущая цена с максимальными или минимальными значениями.
Если текущая цена закрытия равна максимальному значению, облако устанавливается на уровне минимального значения, и наоборот.
CandleStick [TradingFinder] - All Reversal & Trend Patterns🔵 Introduction
"Candlesticks" patterns are used to predict price movements. We have included 5 of the best candlestick patterns that are common and very useful in "technical analysis" in this script to identify them automatically. The most important advantage of this indicator for users is saving time and high precision in identifying patterns.
These patterns are "Pin Bar," "Dark Cloud," "Piercing Line," "3 Inside Bar," and "Engulfing." By using these patterns, you can predict price movements more accurately and therefore make better decisions in your trades.
🔵 How to Use
Pin Bar : This pattern consists of a Candle where "Open Price," "Close Price," "High Price," and "Low Price" form the "Candle Body," and it also has "Long Shadow" and "Short Shadow." In the visual appearance of the Pin Bar pattern, we have a candle body and a pin bar shadow, where the candle body is smaller relative to the shadow.
Just as the candle body plays an important role in analysis, the pin bar shadow can also be influential. The larger the pin bar shadow, the stronger the expectation of a trend reversal.
When a "bearish pin bar" occurs at resistance or the chart ceiling, it can be predicted that the price trend will be downward. Similarly, at support points and the chart floor, a "bullish pin bar" can indicate an upward price movement.
Additionally, patterns like "Hammer," "Shooting Star," "Hanging Man," and "Inverted Hammer" are types of pin bars. Pin bars are formed in two ways: bullish pin bars have a long lower shadow, and bearish pin bars have a long upper shadow. Important: Displaying "Bullish Pin Bar" is labeled "BuPB," and "Bearish Pin Bar" is labeled "BePB."
Dark Cloud : The Dark Cloud pattern is one type of two-candle patterns that occurs at the end of an uptrend. The 2-candle pattern indicates the shape of this pattern, which actually consists of 2 candles, one bullish and one bearish. This pattern indicates a trend reversal and is quite powerful.
The Dark Cloud pattern is seen when, after a bullish candle at the end of an uptrend, a bearish candle opens at a higher level (weakly, equal, or higher) than the closing point of the bullish candle and finally closes at a point approximately in the middle of the previous candle. In this indicator, the Dark Cloud pattern is identified as "Wick" and "Strong" .
The difference between these two lies in the strictness of their conditions. Important: Strong Dark Cloud is labeled "SDC," and Weak Dark Cloud is labeled "WDC."
Piercing Line : The Piercing candlestick pattern consists of 2 candles, the first being bearish and consistent with the previous trend, and the second being bullish. The conditions of the pattern are such that the first candle is bearish and a price gap is created between the two candles upon the opening of the next candle because its opening price is below (weakly equal to or less than) the closing price of the previous candle.
Additionally, its closing price must be at least 50% above the red candle.
This means that the second candle must penetrate at least 50% into the first candle. Important: Strong Piercing Line is labeled "SPL," and Weak Piercing Line is labeled "WPL."
3 Inside Bar (3 Bar Reversal) : The 3 Inside Bar pattern is a reversal pattern. This pattern consists of 3 consecutive candles and can be either bullish or bearish. In the bullish pattern (Inside Up) formed at the end of a downtrend, the last candle must be bullish, and the third candle from the end must be bearish.
Additionally, the close price must be more than 50% of the third candle from the end. In the bearish pattern (Inside Down) formed at the end of an uptrend, the last candle must be bearish, and the third candle from the end must be bullish. Additionally, the close price must be less than 50% of the third candle from the end. Important: Bullish 3 Inside Bar is labeled "Bu3IB," and Bearish 3 Inside Bar is labeled "Be3IB."
Engulfing : The Engulfing candlestick pattern is a reversal pattern and consists of at least two candles, where one of them completely engulfs the body of the previous or following candle due to high volatility.
For this reason, the term "engulfing" is used for this pattern. This pattern occurs when the price body of a candle encompasses one or more candles before it. Engulfing candles can be bullish or bearish. Bullish Engulfing forms as a reversal candle at the end of a downtrend.
Bullish Engulfing indicates strong buying power and signals the beginning of an uptrend. This pattern is a bullish candle with a long upward body that completely covers the downward body before it. Bearish Engulfing, as a reversal pattern, is a long bearish candle that engulfs the upward candle before it.
Bearish Engulfing forms at the end of an uptrend and indicates the pressure of new sellers and their strong power. Additionally, forming this pattern at resistance levels and the absence of a lower shadow increases its credibility. Important: Bullish Engulfing is labeled "BuE," and Bearish Engulfing is labeled "BeE."

UDIO BarsUp-Down-Inside-Outside Bars
I prefer to see bars in a simpler fashion that is more logical.
An UP BAR is a bar when the market makes a high that is higher AND when the low is higher than the bar before.
A DOWN BAR is when the market makes a lower low AND a lower high.
The UP or DOWN BAR is not based on the close-to-close movement which is also called NET CHANGE for the bar AND it also disregards the open-close movement as well, which can be misleading more often than not.
This allows you to easily see periods of INDECISION when the bars are painted black because if the bar isn't RED or GREEN, it will be painted black.
INSIDE bars and OUTSIDE bars are INDECISION days.
INSIDE BARS: The market wants to wait for news or has exhausted itself on an INSIDE bar. The market makes neither a higher high or a lower low. Instead, the market trades in a tighter range inside the high and low of the bar before. Hence the name "inside bar".
OUTSIDE BARS: The market exhausts one side of the market after a new high or new low, then reverses and stops out anyone outside the range of the bar prior. Essentially, neither side of the market is strong on an OUTSIDE bar. Outside bars can cause sharp losses for trend traders and if you see many of them near each other, the market is preparing itself for a large move one way or the other.
UDIO = Up Down Inside Outside and I think it is a tool you all will want to use to make your charts tell a story and alert you to important price levels.
After a long trend of green and red bars, you may find that there are many black bars starting to appear and that can be a sign the trend is ending and is ready to reverse.
