Equivolume - volume as candle widthDo price action and volume really need to be on separate graphs? Why not display them both on a single graph and reduce the clutter? Presenting Equivolume candles here on TradingView - inspired by the NinjaTrader implementation
This indicator allows you to view traditional OHLC candles but with the additional ability to see relative volume through variations of width and/or transparency
Explanation
- Wide and/or full colour candles have the highest volume
- Thin and/or highly transparent candles have the lowest volume
- The following diagram shows the Equivolume indicator as well as a traditional volume graph along the bottom. You can see that when the volume is highest, the candle is widest and also the most intense color.
- The `Lookback candle count` user parameter specifies the number of candles to use in order to locate the highest volume within that range. All other candle widths in the range will be adjusted relative to this highest volume
Tips
- Toggle off the visibility of the original graph for the instrument to get the best view of the candles when using variable transparency
Gotchas
- Due to a Pine Script limitation a maximum of 500 variable width candles can be drawn on the chart
- If `Lookback candle count` is higher than the total number of available candles for the instrument, then the indicator will fail and not display anything. I’m still investigating how to handle this case better
- Be aware if you are using the `High` setting for the `Transparency range` parameter, candles with the lowest volume will be virtually invisible

Candlestick Patterns by Dipak V2I am really excited to publish my work, I know its at the beginning but there is a lot to come in the future. I am writing a script to identify the candlestick patterns. In this version, I have added Hammer and Hanging Man Pattern in the first version, I know its less but its a beginning, I will keep adding the new information in my script in upcoming versions.
This script is for only learning purpose and not for treading realtime. In this script, it only identifies the pattern and does not check for its confirmation or does not provide any stop-loss, Also it does not check the prior trend before the pattern. These things really matter in the live trade. But in future, I am planning to add these things.
If you like my work, please like or comment your ideas I will try to include those in upcoming versions.
Hanging Man:
Hanging man is a bearish reversal candlestick pattern that signals about the uptrend or advancing phase are over and bulls have lost their control. Color of the candle is not important.
Identity:
1) Comes after a significant up rally or uptrend or advancing phase.
2) Small real body at the top.
3) Long lower shadow at least twice the real body.
4) Very small or no upper shadow.
Confirmation:
Immediate next candle’s close should be below the hanging man’s real body.
StopLoss:
There is a potential resistance level above the top of the hanging man. Stoploss should be above the resistance area or at the high of the hanging man.
Hammer:
Hammer is a bullish reversal candlestick pattern that signals about the downtrend or declining phase are over and bears have lost their control. Color of the candle is not important.
Identity:
1) Comes after significant down rally or downtrend or declining phase.
2) Small real body at the top.
3) Long lower shadow at least twice the real body.
4) Very small or no upper shadow.
Confirmation:
Immediate next candle’s close should be above the hammer’s low.
StopLoss:
There is a potential support level below the low of the hammer. Stoploss should be below the support area or at the low of the hammer.
Note: The candle is the same for Hanging Man and Hammer , Difference is where they appear in the uptrend or in the downtrend that makes the real difference.
HTF Candlestick Patterns [TradingView] vX by DGTCandlesticks are graphical representations of price movements for a given period of time. They are commonly formed by the opening, high, low, and closing prices of a financial instrument. They have their origins in the centuries-old Japanese rice trade and have made their way into modern day price charting.
It’s important to note that candlestick patterns aren’t necessarily a buy or sell signal by themselves. They are instead a way to look at market structure and a potential indication of an upcoming opportunity. It is always useful to look at candlestick patterns in context like any other market analysis tool and candlestick patterns are most useful when used in combination with other techniques. There are countless candlestick patterns that traders can use to identify areas of interest on a chart, where some candlestick patterns may provide insights into the balance between buyers and sellers, others may indicate a reversal, continuation, or indecision.
Reversal patterns are quite useful when used in context. Reversal patterns should form at the bottom of a downtrend or at the top of an uptrend. Otherwise, they are not a reversal patterns, but continuation patterns. Most reversal patterns require confirmation such as price move in the direction of reversal accompanied by appropriate trading volume. The reversal patterns can further be confirmed through other means of traditional technical analysis—like trend lines, momentum, oscillators, or volume indicators—to reaffirm buying or selling pressure. The patterns themselves do not guarantee that the trend will reverse. Investors should always confirm reversal by the subsequent price action before initiating a trade.
This study implements some of the most commonly used candlestick patterns in a context with directional movement indicator. On request users can adjust the strong trend threshold from dialog box, eighter can disabled correlation with directional movement indicator. To add additional sight to analysis the simple moving averages of 20, 50, 100 and 200 periods are added (configurable)
You may add additional indicators of your choice. Colored DMI, BB Cloud or Price Distance to its MAs may help

counting candles v2This script shows via the oscillator window, how much red and green candles where shown - looking back a given number of candles.
The number of candles to look back is 10 by default, but can be changed in the indicator settings.
The red line indicates the number of red candles, while the green line shows the number of green candles.
Candlestick Trend Indicator v0.5 by JustUncleLRequested Update to this Indicator alert project. In this update I have added the option to be able select which Price Action candles you want included in the display and the generated alarm Alert. Other changes also included in this update:
Also added a Price Action candle for "Last Fractal S/R Break", this also a good continuation indication.
Added option to select a different moving average types for directional MA line.
Modified some default settings, using HullMA instead of Zero Lag EMA and standard MACD settings(12,26,9).
Description:
This is a trend following indicator and alert for Binary Options based on Candlestick patterns and trend line -
NOTE: original system was a forex trading system.
This code combines a number of indicators to create an overall trading strategy.
The indicator recognises and displays some useful candle named defined patterns that are used to support trend continuation:
Bearish + Bullish PinBars
Dark Cloud Cover
Piecing Line
Bullish + Bearish Harami
Bullish + Bearish Engulfing Candle
Bullish + Bearish Last Fractal S/R break
Also recognises main Price Action candles from ChrisMoody (CM), the four(4) price action patterns are colored coded bars:
Yellow = Inside Bar - breakout/continuance
Orange = Outside Bar - breakout/continuance
Aqua/Fuschia = Up/Down Shaved Bars - Buying/Selling pressure
Red/Green = Possible reversal PinBars - Reverse Down / reverse Up
The highlighted candles (maroon and darker green) represent the defined PA patterns that have been confirmed following the current trend direction that is indicated by the Hull MA(20) line (can select a different type of MA, or even disable) and confirmed by MACD direction (can be disabled). The confirmed Alerts are indication by green (buy) and red (sell) dots at the bottom of the chart. An alert is generated from this selection for the alert condition of the alarming system.
The fractal upper/lower break lines are also draw, if the (optional) last fractal break line is broken by a highlighted bar then this indicates a stronger trend conformation.
The MACD indicator MACD DEUTER 2 colour(12,26,9) you can visually see the MACD histogram colours with MACD direction - needs "MACD DEUTER 2 colour" indicator.
This multi-indicator set up is suitable for 1hr, 4hr and daily charts with 1-4 candle expiry.

Bull Bear Candle Directional Pressure [FXSMARTLAB]Bull–Bear Candle Directional Pressure is a directional market analysis indicator designed to measure the effective pressure exerted by bullish and bearish candles over a given lookback period.
Rather than focusing on momentum, overbought/oversold conditions, or price velocity, it quantifies who is actually in control of price action: buyers or sellers.
🔹 Core Idea
Markets do not move solely because price changes, but because directional pressure is sustained over time.
This indicator evaluates the relative dominance of bullish versus bearish candles, while deliberately excluding neutral candles from the directional calculation.
By doing so, it isolates active participation from indecision and noise, providing a clearer picture of real directional commitment.
🔹 What the Indicator Measures
Bullish candle pressure → buying-side dominance
Bearish candle pressure → selling-side dominance
Neutral candle participation → indecision, balance, or compression
Bull and Bear percentages are normalized only on directional candles, ensuring that the resulting pressure reflects engaged market activity, not low-conviction movement.
🔹 Reading the Indicator
• Centered Histogram (Primary View)
Represents the Bull–Bear pressure balance
Positive values indicate bullish directional pressure
Negative values indicate bearish directional pressure
Greater amplitude reflects stronger dominance
This view is particularly useful for identifying:
Sustained directional control
Progressive shifts in pressure before price acceleration
Structural weakening of trends
• Alternative Views
Dual-line mode compares Bull and Bear pressure directly
Area mode visualizes dominance over time
An optional Neutral pressure line highlights periods where directional participation fades, often preceding consolidation, range expansion, or regime change.
Day Color CandlesThe script uses TradingView’s built-in dayofweek value (where Monday = 1 and Sunday = 7) to detect the current bar’s weekday.
For each weekday, a specific color is assigned — green for Monday, blue for Tuesday, purple for Wednesday, orange for Thursday, yellow for Friday, gray for Saturday, and red for Sunday.
Instead of plotting new candles, the script uses barcolor() to recolor the existing chart candles. This avoids conflicts with TradingView’s rule that a script may contain only one main declaration. The price data remains unchanged — only the visual appearance of the candles is modified to help the user visually separate trading days.
RTH vs ETH Candle StylingRTH vs ETH Candle Styling — Clean Session-Based Candle Filters
This indicator restyles the chart’s candles based on session type:
🟩 RTH (Regular Trading Hours — 09:30 to 16:00 EST)
RTH candles display normal, full-color price action, showing momentum clearly during the primary US session.
⬛ ETH (Extended Hours Trading)
All ETH candles are converted into hollow, black-outline candles, with:
Transparent bodies
Black borders
Black wicks
This creates an immediate visual separation between overnight price action (ETH) and the high-liquidity RTH session—reducing noise and helping traders focus on true market structure.
🔥 Why Use This?
Cleaner chart during overnight chop
Easy to distinguish RTH orderflow from ETH drift
Enhances gap logic, session deviations, and liquidity mapping
Makes your main RTH setups stand out instantly
⚙ Inputs
Adjustable RTH session (default: 09:30–16:00 EST)
Adjustable timezone (default: America/New_York)
GLOBAL SETTINGS TO CHANGE-Change-settings-symbol-candles-uncheck all
1h Hollow Candle on 5m - SSThis indicator displays 1-hour candles on a 5-minute chart using a clean, minimal visual style designed for intraday traders who want to track higher-timeframe structure without cluttering the chart.
The higher-timeframe (HTF) candles are drawn as hollow outlines, which makes them easy to read while keeping the underlying 5-minute price action fully visible. Each 1-hour candle includes:
Wicks (high & low)
Open/close borders
Color-coded direction (green = bullish, red = bearish)
Transparent body so they never block real candles
This is ideal for traders who want to:
Identify HTF structure during scalping
Spot key reversals inside hourly candles
Track premium/discount zones relative to each 1h candle
Improve top-down analysis without switching timeframes
US Opening 5-Minute Candle HighlighterUS Opening 5-Minute Candle Highlighter — True RVOL (Two-Tier + Label)
What it does (in plain English)
This indicator finds the first 5-minute bar of the US cash session (09:30–09:35 ET) and highlights it when the candle has the specific “strong open” look you want:
Opens near the low of its own range, and
Closes near the high of its own range, and
Has a decisive real body (not a wick-y doji), and
(Optionally) is a green candle, and
Meets a TRUE opening-bar RVOL filter (compares today’s 09:30–09:35 volume only to prior sessions’ 09:30–09:35 volumes).
You get two visual intensities based on opening RVOL:
Tier-1 (≥ threshold 1, default 1.0×) → light green highlight + lime arrow
Tier-2 (≥ threshold 2, default 1.5×) → darker green highlight + green arrow
An RVOL label (e.g., RVOL 1.84x) can be shown above or below the opening bar.
Designed for 5-minute charts. On other timeframes the “opening bar” will be the bar that starts at 09:30 on that timeframe (e.g., 15-minute 09:30–09:45). For best results keep the chart on 5m.
How the pattern is defined
For the opening 5-minute bar, we compute:
Range = high − low
Body = |close − open|
Then we measure where the open and close sit within the bar’s own range on a 0→1 scale:
0 means exactly at the low
1 means exactly at the high
Using two quantiles:
Open ≤ position in range (0–1) (default 0.20)
Example: 0.20 means “open must be in the lowest 20% of the bar’s range.”
Close ≥ position in range (0–1) (default 0.80)
Example: 0.80 means “close must be in the top 20% of the bar’s range.”
This keeps the logic range-normalized so it adapts across different tickers and vol regimes (you’re not using fixed cents or % of price).
Body ≥ fraction of range (0–1) (default 0.55)
Requires the real body to be at least that fraction of the total range.
0.55 = body fills ≥ 55% of the candle.
Purpose: filter out indecisive, wick-heavy bars.
Raise to 0.7–0.8 for only the fattest thrusts; lower to 0.3–0.4 to admit more bars.
Require green candle? (default ON)
If ON, close > open must be true. Turn OFF if you also want to catch strong red opens for shorts.
Minimum range (ticks)
Ignore tiny, illiquid opens: e.g., set to 2–5 ticks to suppress micro bars.
TRUE Opening-Bar RVOL (why it’s “true”)
Most “RVOL” compares against any recent bars, which isn’t fair at the open.
This indicator calculates only against prior opening bars:
At 09:30–09:35 ET, take today’s opening 5-minute volume.
Compare it to the average of the last N sessions’ opening 5-minute volumes.
RVOL = today_open_volume / average_prior_open_volumes.
So:
1.0× = equal to average prior opens.
1.5× = 150% of average prior opens.
2.0× = double the typical opening participation.
A minimum prior samples guard (default 10) ensures you don’t judge with too little history. Until enough samples exist, the RVOL gate won’t pass (you can disable RVOL temporarily if needed).
Visuals & tiers
Light green highlight + lime arrow → price filters pass and RVOL ≥ Tier-1 (default 1.0×)
Dark green highlight + green arrow → price filters pass and RVOL ≥ Tier-2 (default 1.5×)
Optional bar paint in matching green tones for extra visibility.
Optional RVOL label (e.g., RVOL 1.84x) above or below the opening bar.
You can show the label only when the candle qualifies, or on every open.
Inputs (step-by-step)
Price-action filters
Open ≤ position in range (0–1): default 0.20. Smaller = stricter (must open nearer the low).
Close ≥ position in range (0–1): default 0.80. Larger = stricter (must close nearer the high).
Body ≥ fraction of range (0–1): default 0.55. Raise to demand a “fatter” body.
Require green candle?: default ON. Turn OFF to also mark bearish thrusts.
Minimum range (ticks): default 0. Set to 2–5 for liquid mid/large caps.
Time settings
Timezone: default America/New_York. Leave as is for US equities.
Start hour / minute: defaults 09:30. The bar that starts at this time is evaluated.
TRUE Opening-Bar RVOL (two-tier)
Require TRUE opening-bar RVOL?: ON = must pass Tier-1 to highlight; OFF = price filters alone can highlight (still shows Tier-2 when hit).
RVOL lookback (prior opens count): default 20. How many prior openings to average.
Min prior opens required: default 10. Warm-up guard.
Tier-1 RVOL threshold (× avg): default 1.00× (light green).
Tier-2 RVOL threshold (× avg): default 1.50× (dark green).
Display
Also paint candle body?: OFF by default. Turn ON for instant visibility on a chart wall.
Arrow size: tiny/small/normal/large.
Light/Dark opacity: tune highlight strength.
Show RVOL label?: ON/OFF.
Show label only when candle qualifies?: ON by default; OFF to see RVOL every open.
Label position: Above candle or Below candle.
Label size: tiny/small/normal/large.
How to use (quick start)
Apply to a 5-minute chart.
Keep defaults: Open ≤ 0.20, Close ≥ 0.80, Body ≥ 0.55, Require green ON.
Turn RVOL required ON, with Tier-1 = 1.0×, Tier-2 = 1.5×, Lookback = 20, Min prior = 10.
Optional: enable Paint bar and set Arrow size = large for monitor-wall visibility.
Optional: show RVOL label below the bar to keep wicks clean.
Interpretation:
Dark green = A+ opening thrust with strong participation (≥ Tier-2).
Light green = Valid opening thrust with at least average participation (≥ Tier-1).
No highlight = one or more filters failed (quantiles, body, green, range, or RVOL if required).
Alerts
Two alert conditions are included:
Opening 5m Match — Tier-2 RVOL → fires when the opening candle passes price filters and RVOL ≥ Tier-2.
Opening 5m Match — Tier-1 RVOL → fires when the opening candle passes price filters and RVOL ≥ Tier-1 (but < Tier-2).
Recommended alert settings
Condition: choose the script + desired tier.
Options: Once Per Bar Close (you want the confirmed 09:30–09:35 bar).
Set your watchlist to symbols of interest (themes/sectors) and let the alerts pull you to the right charts.
Recommended starting values
Quantiles: Open ≤ 0.20, Close ≥ 0.80
Body fraction: 0.55
Require green: ON
RVOL: Required ON, Tier-1 = 1.0×, Tier-2 = 1.5×, Lookback 20, Min prior 10
Display: Paint bar ON, Arrow large, Label ON, Below candle
Tune tighter for A-plus selectivity:
Open ≤ 0.15, Close ≥ 0.85, Body ≥ 0.65, Tier-2 2.0×.
Notes, tips & limitations
5-minute timeframe is the intended use. On higher TFs, the 09:30 bar spans more than 5 minutes; geometry may not reflect the first 5 minutes alone.
RTH only: The opening detection looks at the clock (09:30 ET). Pre-market bars are ignored for the signal and for RVOL history.
Warm-up period: Until you have Min prior opens required samples, the RVOL gate won’t pass. You can temporarily toggle RVOL off.
DST & timezone: Leave timezone on America/New_York for US equities. If you trade non-US exchanges, set the appropriate TZ and opening time.
Illiquid tickers: Use Minimum range (ticks) and require RVOL to reduce noise.
No strategy orders: This is a visual/alert tool. Combine with your execution and risk plan.
Why this is useful on multi-monitor setups
Instant pattern recognition: the two-shade green makes A vs A+ opens pop at a glance.
Adaptive thresholds: quantiles & body are within-bar, so it works across $5 and $500 names.
Fair volume test: TRUE opening RVOL avoids comparing to pre-market or midday bars.
Optional labels: glanceable RVOL x-value helps triage the strongest themes quickly.
VWMA CandlesVWMA Candles – Smarter Candle Coloring with Volume Awareness
This indicator enhances your chart candles by showing their relationship to the Volume-Weighted Moving Average (VWMA). It visually integrates the VWMA and price action, making it easier to spot momentum shifts, value zones, and price interaction with volume-weighted levels. I saw this indicator idea from TrendSpider on threads and decided to try and make my own. This is my first publicly shared script so go easy on me!
IN ORDER FOR THE COLOR CODING TO WORK PROPERLY, YOU MUST:
GO TO -> CHART SETTINGS -> SYMBOLS AND DISABLE BODIES, BORDERS, AND WICKS.
How it works:
The VWMA is plotted on your chart with a customizable band around it.
Candles change color depending on their position relative to the VWMA and its band:
Green → Price is above the VWMA (bullish bias).
Orange → Price is near or touching the VWMA/band (potential reaction zone).
Red → Price is below the VWMA (bearish bias).
You can choose between custom candles (full plotcandle styling) or simply recolor your existing chart candles with barcolor.
Customization options:
Select how the band is calculated: by % of VWMA, ATR multiple, or Ticks/Points.
Adjust colors separately for candle body, wick, and border.
Choose to show/hide the VWMA line and the band fill.
Fine-tune transparency for a clean look on any chart background.
Why traders use it:
Quickly spot when price is stretched away from the VWMA (overextended conditions).
Identify when candles are interacting with the VWMA (potential support/resistance).
Add volume-sensitivity to your trend analysis compared to standard moving averages.
Authors Note: The default settings work well with stocks on the weekly timeframe, although this can be used on any timeframe. The settings are highly adjustable for you to tune it to your liking.
HTF Candles [theUltimator5]Overlay higher timeframe candles on any lower timeframe chart with real-time updates.

Impulsive Candle Detector TRW [3-in-1]Impulsive Candle Detector
Description: professor Michael impulsive candle but 3 -1 code by me
The Impulsive Candle Detector is a powerful tool designed to identify and highlight three different types of impulsive candles on your TradingView chart—all in a single, customizable indicator. Each impulsive candle type uses its own configurable settings, allowing traders to easily visualize various market dynamics without crowding their charts with multiple indicators.
How it works:
The indicator detects “impulsive” candles based on custom thresholds for candle range, volume, and body-to-wick ratio.
Each of the three types is independently configurable with its own parameters (length for averages, size multiplier, volume multiplier, body ratio, and color).
When an impulsive candle is detected, the corresponding bar is colored and can optionally display a label above the candle indicating its type.
Separate alerts can be set for each impulsive candle type, enabling you to react to different market conditions instantly.
Features:
Three independent impulsive candle detection types, all in one indicator
Adjustable settings for each type (range, volume, body ratio, and color)
Clean, uncluttered chart view
Custom bar coloring and optional labels for instant visual recognition
Supports individual alert notifications for each impulsive candle type
Perfect for:
Traders looking to spot strong market moves or volatility spikes
Those who want to monitor multiple impulsive candle patterns without overlapping indicators
Anyone who values clean and customizable charting solutions
Unified Sentiment Candles Overlay (SMA)Unified Sentiment Candles (SMA) Indicator
The Unified Sentiment Candles (SMA) is a custom overlay indicator designed to provide a smoothed visualization of market sentiment by plotting synthetic candles based on the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of open, high, low, and close prices. It helps traders identify trend direction and potential reversals more clearly.
How to Use:
- Observe Candle Colors: Green candles indicate bullish sentiment (close ≥ open), while red candles suggest bearish sentiment (close < open).
- Trend Identification: Consistent green candles point to an uptrend, whereas consistent red candles may signal a downtrend.
- Support & Resistance Zones: The SMA-based candles smooth out short-term volatility, assisting in spotting key support and resistance levels.
- Entry & Exit Signals: Look for color changes or candle pattern formations within the synthetic candles to time entries and exits more effectively.
Settings:
SMA Length : Adjust this parameter to control the smoothing period. A shorter length makes the indicator more responsive, while a longer length smooths out more noise.
This indicator is best used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to confirm signals and improve trading accuracy.

Engulfing Candles (ATR-Based) with Volume SpikeOverview:
This script is designed to detect high-probability bullish and bearish engulfing patterns — but with a twist: it filters them through ATR-based volatility and confirms strength with volume spikes, all while offering optional trend filtering. It's built for traders who want more than just surface-level candle patterns — it's for those who want contextual confirmation before entering a trade.
What Makes It Different:
Most engulfing candle indicators simply match two candle shapes. This script goes deeper by:
Measuring candle body size relative to recent volatility (via ATR).
Checking for volume confirmation using a dynamic spike threshold.
Filtering based on trend context using SMA-based structure detection.
This tri-layered logic aims to avoid false positives and give traders cleaner, more actionable entries that align with momentum.
Core Concepts:
1. Trend Detection (Optional)
You can choose between two structural filters:
SMA50 only: Looks for price above or below the 50-period SMA to define trend direction.
SMA50 + SMA200 alignment: A stricter rule requiring both fast and slow SMAs to confirm a trend.
Or turn off trend filtering entirely (No detection).
This helps ensure engulfing setups appear in line with the broader trend, increasing the likelihood of continuation.
2. ATR-Filtered Candle Bodies
To eliminate noise:
A candle is only considered a valid engulfing candle if it has a body larger than 1.5× ATR(14).
The previous candle must be a small-bodied candle (less than 0.5× ATR), creating a clear visual engulfing structure.
This method dynamically adjusts for market volatility, so setups are meaningful even during periods of compression or expansion.
3. Volume Spike Confirmation
Not all engulfing candles lead to follow-through. That’s why this script includes a volume confirmation filter:
A 20-period moving average of volume is calculated.
A spike is flagged if the current bar’s volume exceeds 1.5× this average (adjustable).
Patterns with this confirmation are marked with a “*” label (e.g., BU* or BE*) to distinguish volume-backed setups from weaker ones.
Visuals & Alerts:
BU = Bullish engulfing without volume spike
BU* = Bullish engulfing with volume spike
BE = Bearish engulfing without volume spike
BE* = Bearish engulfing with volume spike
A white background highlight is shown behind candles with volume-confirmed engulfing patterns.
Alerts are available for BU* and BE* so you can automate your edge.
How to Use:
Add the indicator to any chart.
Choose your trend filter from the settings panel.
Watch for BU* and BE* labels — these are your highest-conviction signals.
Optional: Combine with support/resistance, Fibonacci zones, or MTF confirmation to refine entries.
Use the included alerts to receive real-time push/email notifications when patterns emerge.
Performance Note:
I’ve found this script to be fairly good when applied to the 1-hour charts of the companies in the US100. The combination of ATR-based filtering and volume confirmation appears to provide clear, high-quality setups with good follow-through potential.
By blending candle patterns, volatility filtering, volume confirmation, and trend context, this script aims to filter out weak signals and highlight the most statistically significant engulfing opportunities.
Volume-Enhanced Candlestick Patterns 1
Overview
Scans for four major candlestick reversal patterns:
Harami
Engulfing
Morning/Evening Star
Piercing Line/Dark Cloud Cover
Underlying logic assumes that, at a turning point, the dominant side (bulls or bears) often delivers a “final” push—either a last surge of buying or selling—before the reversal truly takes hold.
Pattern Toggles
Each individual pattern can be turned on or off in the inputs.
Enable only the patterns you want to monitor to reduce chart clutter and speed up performance.
Volume Filter Toggle
On: Requires volume-based exhaustion or climax to confirm each pattern.
Off: Relies purely on price-action candlestick logic (no volume checks).
Grouped Labels & Confluence
When one or more patterns trigger on the same bar close, a single label is drawn:
Grouping multiple confirmed patterns on one bar increases confluence and signal strength.
Climax Volume × Multiplier
Adjusting this input affects signal frequency and conviction:
Higher multiplier → fewer signals but with stronger volume confirmation
Lower multiplier → more signals, each with a looser volume requirement
Alerts
Built-in alert condition for each individual pattern (bullish/bearish Harami, Engulfing, Star, Piercing, Dark Cloud Cover), so you can receive real-time notifications whenever a confirmation occurs.

8:15 AM 15-min Candle Box on 5-min Chart with TP and SLThe “8:15 AM 15-min Candle Box on 5-min Chart with TP and SL” indicator is a custom-built Pine Script tool for breakout trading strategies, particularly tailored for assets like NASDAQ Futures (NAS100) during the U.S. market pre-open.
🔍 What It Does:
Tracks the 8:15–8:30 AM Central Time (CDT) Candle:
It marks the high and low of the 15-minute candle that starts at 8:15 AM (CDT).
The box visually outlines this price range.
Draws a Breakout Box:
At 8:30 AM, a box is drawn from the 8:15 candle’s high and low.
The box stretches forward 8 hours into the session, helping you visualize price interaction with that range.
Detects Breakouts:
If the price closes above the high, it signals a buy breakout.
If it closes below the low, it signals a sell breakout.
Automatically Calculates TP and SL:
Take Profit (TP): 50 pips from the breakout level in the direction of the trade.
Stop Loss (SL): 40 pips in the opposite direction.
Pips are calculated using the symbol’s minimum tick size.
Color Feedback:
Box turns green on a buy breakout, red on a sell breakout.
If TP is reached, the box turns black.
If SL is hit, the box turns purple.
🧠 Why Use This Indicator:
Perfect for pre-market breakout traders who want a visual confirmation of price action around the U.S. market open.
Provides a clear entry range, trade direction, and risk/reward visual cue.
No manual drawing — everything is automated daily based on reliable timing.

IU Inside out candlestick patternIU Inside Out Candlestick Pattern
This indicator identifies the Inside Out Candlestick Pattern — a unique 3-bar price action setup that captures strong market momentum and potential reversals with greater reliability than traditional patterns.
Pattern Logic:
The Inside Out pattern builds upon a classic engulfing setup by adding a breakout confirmation, making it a refined and filtered approach to candlestick analysis.
Bullish Inside Out Logic:
- Bar must be a bullish engulfing candle (engulfs previous bearish candle).
- Current bar must be bullish and must close above the high of the engulfing candle (a bullish breakout).
- When this setup is confirmed, a shaded green box is drawn around the range of the engulfing candle and its preceding bar.
Bearish Inside Out Logic:
- Bar must be a bearish engulfing candle (engulfs previous bullish candle).
- Current bar must be bearish and must close below the low of the engulfing candle (a bearish breakdown).
- When confirmed, a red box highlights the zone formed by the engulfing candle and its prior bar.
Why this is unique:
Unlike conventional candlestick indicators that trigger signals immediately after an engulfing pattern, this script adds a breakout condition to validate follow-through strength. This reduces false positives and gives traders a clearer edge. The pattern is also rare, which means it captures strong, decisive moves when it does appear.
How users can benefit:
- High-quality entries: Only shows patterns with proven follow-through, improving trade timing.
- Visual clarity: Boxes and labels highlight significant price zones for easy interpretation.
- Flexible use: Applicable across timeframes and instruments — ideal for both intraday and swing traders.
- Alerts included: Real-time alerts help traders stay updated without staring at charts all day.
This script is a powerful tool for price action traders looking to enhance pattern reliability and signal strength through structure-based breakout confirmation.
