Overview
A vast majority of modern data analysis & modelling techniques rely upon the idea of hidden patterns, wether it is some type of visualisation tool or some form of a complex machine learning algorithm, the one thing that they have in common is the belief, that patterns tell us what’s hidden behind plain numbers. The same philosophy has been adopted by many traders & investors worldwide, there’s an entire school of thought that operates purely based on chart patterns. This is where Sniffer comes in, it is a tool designed to simplify & quantify the job of pattern recognition on any given price chart, by combining various factors & techniques that generate high-quality results.
This tool analyses bars selected by the user, and highlights bar clusters on the chart that exhibit similar behaviour across multiple dimensions. It can detect a single candle pattern like hammers or dojis, or it can handle multiple candles like morning/evening stars or double tops/bottoms, and many more. In fact, the tool is completely independent of such specific candle formations, instead, it works on the idea of vector similarity and generates a degree of similarity for every single combination of candles. Only the top-n matches are highlighted, users get to choose which patterns they want to analyse and to what degree, by customising the feature-space.
Background
In the world of trading, a common use-case is to scan a price chart for some specific candlestick formations & price structures, and then the chart is further analysed in reference to these events. Traders are often trying to answer questions like, when was the last time price showed similar behaviour, what are the instances similar to what price is doing right now, what happens when price forms a pattern like this, what were some of other indicators doing when this happened last(RSI, CCI, ADX etc), and many other abstract ideas to have a stronger confluence or to confirm a bias.Having such a context can be vital in making better informed decisions, but doing this manually on a chart that has thousands of candles can have many disadvantages. It’s tedious, human errors are rather likely, and even if it’s done with pin-point accuracy, chances are that we’ll miss out on many pieces of information. This is the thought that gave birth to Sniffer .
Sniffer tries to provide a general solution for pattern-based analysis by deploying vector-similarity computation techniques, that cover the full-breadth of a price chart and generate a list of top-n matches based on the criteria selected by the user. Most of these techniques come from the data science space, where vector similarity is often implemented to solve classification & clustering problems. Sniffer uses same principles of vector comparison, and computes a degree of similarity for every single candle formation within the selected range, and as a result generates a similarity matrix that captures how similar or dissimilar a set of candles is to the input set selected by the user.
How It Works
A brief overview of how the tool is implemented:
- Every bar is processed, and a set of features are mapped to it.
- Bars selected by the user are captured, and saved for later use.
- Once the all the bars have been processed, candles are back-tracked and degree of similarity is computed for every single bar(max-limit is 5000 bars).
- Degree of similarity is computed by comparing attributes like price range, candle breadth & volume etc.
- Similarity matrix is sorted and top-n results are highlighted on the chart through boxes of different colors.
A brief overview of the features space for bars:
- Range: Difference between high & low
- Body: Difference between close & open
- Volume: Traded volume for that candle
- Head: Upper wick for green candles & lower wick for red candles
- Tail: Lower wick for green candles & upper wick for red candles
- BTR: Body to Range ratio
- HTR: Head to Range ratio
- TTR: Tail to Range ratio
- HTB: Head to Body ratio
- TTB: Tail to Body ratio
- ROC: Rate of change for HL2 for four different periods
- RSI: Relative Strength Index
- CCI: Commodity Channel Index
- Stochastic: Stochastic Index
- ADX: DMI+, DMI- & ADX
A brief overview of how degree of similarity is calculated:
- Each bar set is compared to the inout bar set within the selected feature space
- Features are represented as vectors, and distance between the vectors is calculated
- Shorter the distance, greater the similarity
- Different distance calculation methods are available to choose from, such as Cosine, Euclidean, Lorentzian, Manhattan, & Pearson
- Each method is likely to generate slightly different results, users are expected to select the method & the feature space that best fits their use-case
How To Use It
- Usage of this tool is relatively straightforward, users can add this indicator to their chart and similar clusters will be highlighted automatically
- Users need to select a time range that will be treated as input, and bars within that range become the input formation for similarity calculations
- Boxes will be draw around the clusters that fit the matching criteria
- Boxes are color-coded, green color boxes represent the top one-third of the top-n matches, yellow boxes represent the middle third, red boxes are for bottom third, and white box represents user-input
- Boxes colors will be adjusted as you adjust input parameters, such as number of matches or look-back period
User Settings
Users can configure the following options:
- Select the time-range to set input bars
- Select the look-back period, number of candles to backtrack for similarity search
- Select the number of top-n matches to show on the chart
- Select the method for similarity calculation
- Adjust the feature space, this enables addition of custom features, such as pattern recognition, technical indicators, rate of change etc
- Toggle verbosity, shows degree of similarity as a percentage value inside the box
Top Features
- Pattern Agnostic: Designed to work with variable number of candles & complex patterns
- Customisable Feature Space: Users get to add custom features to each bar
- Comprehensive Comparison: Generates a degree of similarity for all possible combinations
Final Note
- Similarity matches will be shown only within last 4500 bars.
- In theory, it is possible to compute similarity for any size candle formations, indicator has been tested with formations of 50+ candles, but it is recommended to select smaller range for faster & cleaner results.
- As you move to smaller time frames, selected time range will provide a larger number of candles as input, which can produce undesired results, it is advised to adjust your selection when you change time frames. Seeking suggestions on how to directly receive bars as user input, instead of time range.
- At times, users may see array index out of bound error when setting up this indicator, this generally happens when the input range is not properly configured. So, it should disappear after you select the input range, still trying to figure out where it is coming from, suggestions are welcome.

Candlestick analysis
Inversion GapsAn inverted fair value gap (FVG) occurs when candles start closing below a bullish FVG or above a bearish FVG and in this case, support FVGs become resistances and vice versa. This is a smart money concept introduced by ICT. While we a number of have indicators for FVGs, we don't have any for inversion FVGs. This indicator is just for that - it shows FVGs only after they're inverted.
The meat of it comes from being able to plot HTF inverted FVGs in LTF. In the above BTC chart, you can see M15 inverted FVGs plotted on M1 chart and you can see price respecting them. Mitigations can also be shown as lines (as you can see in the chart).
You can also setup alerts for formation and mitigation of such inversion FVGs.
NSDT Fair Value GapThis script is our version of the "Fair Value Gap".
A Fair Value Gap is nothing more than a series of 3 candles with a gap between a candle high/low and a candle high/low two candles prior.
For example:
A Gap Up - the Low of a candle is higher than the High of two candles back.
A Gap Down - the High of a candle is lower than the Low of two candles back.
Typically, on a Gap Up, the trader would wait for the price to re-enter the Gap, and take a Long position.
Typically, on a Gap Down, the trader would wait for the price to re-enter the Gap, and take a Short position.
We found that simply trading through the Gaps (fill the gap) produced a better result. So we reversed the procedure and the colors to show our suggested direction.
We have added inputs so the trader can determine the size of the Gaps to be plotted on the chart. A minimum and maximum can be set.
The number of Gaps to be displayed can be adjusted.
There is a option to remove Gaps that had been filled, to help keep a clean chart.
Fair Value Gap - FVG - HistogramThis indicator uses a histogram to represent "fair value gaps" ("FVG"). FVG is a popular pattern among modern traders.
This document describes the purpose of the script and discusses the conceptual meaning of "fair value," as well as the connotations attached to it.
█🚀 Based on the previous script - improved clarity
This indicator is a modified version of the "Three Bar Gap (Simple Price Action - with 1 line plot)" indicator, which is also available as open source and can be applied to a chart as a complementary tool along with this indicator.
Differences:
The previous version introduced a "Threshold filter" to reduce the number of lines plotted on charts. This filter introduced two additional parameters for users to consider (ATR length and multiplier). These parameters made the indicator more complicated than intended.
To address this issue of having too many lines in the former version, I proposed a spin-off on this version: It's to consider plotting the magnitude of the FVGs on a histogram instead of using lines on a price chart. In my opinion, a histogram is more suitable for decision-making because it lays out data points side-by-side as bins, which makes comparisons much clearer.
Minor FVGs are expected to have smaller bins compared to their neighboring bins, and in extreme cases, the bins will become seemingly invisible due to the auto-adjusted scale of the y-axis. Therefore, there is no need to filter out any data, and all FVGs can be included in this spin-off version.
█🚀 Candlestick patterns - revisited
This script calculates the displacement of highs and lows over three consecutive bars.
A) Down move: When the high of the recent-confirmed bar is lower than the low of the previous-previous candle.
B) Up move: When the low of the recently-confirmed bar is higher than the high of the previous-previous candle.
█🚀 Parameters
Core Functionality
The purpose of this indicator is to generate bins representing the magnitude of FVGs in the form of a histogram to facilitate the visualization of price movements.
The act of "finding FVGs" does not require any inputs, but users can still customize the colors of the bins to indicate the direction of movement.
Auxiliary functionality: “Key level finder” by searching for large FVGs
The following inputs are optional, in fact, the entire feature can be toggled on/off.
In this example, setting the lookback at 20 means the script will generate a signal if the current histogram bin is taller than all previous bins over the past 20 bars.
█🚀 Applications
Tall histogram bins = key levels .
Traders should observe key levels for entry or exit opportunities.
It is important to note that this indicator was designed for standard time-based charts.
On a separate note, FVGs will not appear in Renko charts with fixed-size bricks. This is because the bricks align with their neighboring bricks. When the bricks are fixed, any displacement between highs and lows within less than or equal to three bars will be zero.
The concept of a "gap" is used to illustrate that price follows a jump-diffusion process, and time intervals can be assigned arbitrarily on the x-axis without needing fixed intervals. This idea was briefly discussed in the previous script's write-up.
█🚀 FAQ: Does it repaint?
No. And please continue reading.
Bins are plotted with a one-bar delay. It only takes one bar for the FVG to become confirmed. Lag is beneficial because it clarifies the need for traders to wait for the bar to close and for the signals to become confirmed before entering or exiting a trade. Experienced traders know that prices tend to retrace, so there is no need to chase. An added bar of delay proves to be useful.
█🚀 Opinion: The term “fair value” can be misleading
Those who come from traditional finance may find the term "fair value gap" somewhat insulting. When encountering the phrase, it can feel like a group of aliens from "Planet Technical Analysis" have intrusively landed on your planet and assertively redefined what "fair value" is supposed to mean.
So, what does "fair value" mean in the realm of technical analysis?
In the world of corporate finance, "fair value" is a subjective estimate of what buyers and sellers are hypothetically willing to pay or accept. Buy-side and sell-side analysts use their own methodologies to determine what constitutes "fair value". These approaches may be based on income, asset, or market comparables. Regardless of the approach used, subjectivity is inherent, and results depend on fundamental data provided by the numbers on financial statements. Valuations are unrelated to candlestick patterns .
When dealing with financial statements, finance professionals who are non-market-participants, such as those working in group reporting practices for reporting issuers, or those hired as external auditors, as required by regulators, may also question what constitutes "fair value". The main concerns always revolve around the assumptions used in valuation models; these are inputs that ultimately require management's judgment, and if not critically questioned, valuations as reported in the statements could end up becoming materially bogus. Both IFRS and U.S. GAAP define "fair value" with the same intended meaning in terms of definitions. We will not delve into the details here. The main point is that "fair value" from a financial reporting perspective has nothing to do with candlesticks .
If a price is already quoted in an actively traded market, you can refer to it to obtain what is known as "mark-to-market". This involves simply referring to the bid or ask price on the reporting date, and you're done - there's no need to read candlesticks !
"Fair value" is a neutral term used by finance professionals in all domains. It is not meant to imply that something is actually "fair." Paying the "fair value" for an asset can still result in overpaying or underpaying for what the asset is worth, depending on different model assumptions. The point is, candlesticks are irrelevant to the analysis of what is considered "fair value" in the realm of traditional finance.
That being said, there is no definitive answer as to why people refer to this pattern as a "fair value gap". It's like one of those oddball interview questions asking you to explain why tennis balls are fuzzy. Whatever answer you give, it's important to note that the subject itself is trivial.
Emphasis of matter on why "fair value" can be misleading
The previous paragraphs were not intended to attack ideas from the realm of technical analysis, nor to assert the true meaning, or lack of meaning, of the term "fair value". Words are constantly evolving. If the term "fair value gap" becomes more widely used to describe the displacement of highs and lows over three bars, then let's call it a "fair value gap".
To be clear, I argue that the term "fair value gap" should not be given a positive connotation. Traders should interpret the word "fair" neutrally. Although these signals occur frequently, if you trade every time there is a signal, you will overtrade and incur astronomical transaction costs over the long run, which can lead to losses.
█🚀 Conclusion:
In the end, what matters is how you apply FVG to trading. As mentioned in the "Applications" section above, traders should look for large FVGs - indicated by tall histogram bins - to identify key levels.
Probability of Candle Close Higher Than OpenThe "Probability of Candle Close Higher Than Open" indicator is designed to help traders assess the likelihood of a given candle closing higher than its open based on the previous candle's price action. It does this by calculating a probability score between 0 and 1 and displaying it on the chart, along with a horizontal line representing a user-defined probability threshold.
The indicator uses three input variables to determine the probability score:
lookback_period: This input defines the number of previous candles to consider when calculating the probability. By default, it is set to 2, meaning the indicator considers the previous two candles.
prev_high and prev_low: These variables are calculated using the highest() and lowest() functions, respectively, and represent the highest high and lowest low of the previous lookback_period candles.
prev_body: This variable calculates the absolute value of the difference between the open and close prices of the previous candle.
The probability score is then calculated based on the following conditions:
If the current candle's open price is higher than the previous lookback_period candles' highest high, the probability score is set to 0.1 (indicating a low probability of the candle closing higher than its open).
If the current candle's open price is lower than the previous lookback_period candles' lowest low, the probability score is set to 0.9 (indicating a high probability of the candle closing higher than its open).
If neither of the above conditions apply, the probability score is calculated using the following formula:
If the previous candle closed higher than its open, the probability score is set to 0.5 plus half of the previous candle's body (i.e., the absolute difference between its open and close prices).
If the previous candle closed lower than its open, the probability score is set to 0.1 plus half of the previous candle's body.
If the previous candle closed at the same price as its open, the probability score is set to 0.1.
Finally, the indicator plots the probability score as a label on the chart and a horizontal line representing the probability threshold.

█ CONCEPTS
Green and Red Candles
• A green candle is one that closes with a close price equal to or above the price it opened.
• A red candle is one that closes with a close price that is lower than the price it opened.
Upper Candle Trends
• A higher high candle is one that closes with a higher high price than the high price of the preceding candle.
• A lower high candle is one that closes with a lower high price than the high price of the preceding candle.
• A double-top candle is one that closes with a high price that is equal to the high price of the preceding candle.
Lower Candle Trends
• A higher low candle is one that closes with a higher low price than the low price of the preceding candle.
• A lower low candle is one that closes with a lower low price than the low price of the preceding candle.
• A double-bottom candle is one that closes with a low price that is equal to the low price of the preceding candle.
Muti-Part Upper and Lower Candle Trends
• A multi-part higher high trend begins with the formation of a new higher high and continues until a new lower high ends the trend.
• A multi-part lower high trend begins with the formation of a new lower high and continues until a new higher high ends the trend.
• A multi-part higher low trend begins with the formation of a new higher low and continues until a new lower low ends the trend.
• A multi-part lower low trend begins with the formation of a new lower low and continues until a new higher low ends the trend.
Double Candle Trends

• A double downtrend candle trend is formed when a candle closes with both a lower high and a lower low.
Multi-Part Double Candle Trends
• A multi-part double uptrend candle trend begins with the formation of a new double uptrend candle trend and continues until a new lower high or lower low ends the trend.
• A multi-part double downtrend candle trend begins with the formation of a new double downtrend candle trend and continues until a new higher high or higher low ends the trend.
█ FEATURES
Inputs
• Start Date
• End Date
• Position
• Text Size
• Show Plots
Table
The table is colour coded, consists of seven columns and, as many as, thirty-two rows. Blue cells denote the multi-part trend scenarios, green cells denote the corresponding double uptrend candle trend scenarios and red cells denote the corresponding double downtrend candle trend scenarios.
The multi-part double candle trend scenarios are listed in the first column with their corresponding total counts to the right, in the second and fifth columns. The last row in column one, displays the sample period which can be adjusted or hidden via indicator settings.
The third and sixth columns display the double candle trend scenarios as percentages of total 1-part double candle trends. And columns four and seven display the total double candle trend scenarios as percentages of the last, or preceding double candle trend part. For example 4-part double uptrend candle trends as percentages of 3-part double uptrend candle trends.
Plots
I have added plots as a visual aid to the double candle trend scenarios. Green up-arrows, with the number of the trend part, denote double uptrend candle trends. Red down-arrows, with the number of the trend part, denote double downtrend candle trends.
█ HOW TO USE
This indicator is intended for research purposes, strategy development and strategy optimisation. I hope it will be useful in helping to gain a better understanding of the underlying dynamics at play on any given market and timeframe.
It can, for example, give you an idea of whether the current double candle trend will continue or fail, based on the current trend scenario and what has happened in the past under similar circumstances. Such information can be useful when conducting top down analysis across multiple timeframes and making strategic decisions.
What you do with these statistics and how far you decide to take your research is entirely up to you, the possibilities are endless.
█ LIMITATIONS
Some higher timeframe candles on tickers with larger lookbacks such as the DXY , do not actually contain all the open, high, low and close (OHLC) data at the beginning of the chart. Instead, they use the close price for open, high and low prices. So, while we can determine whether the close price is higher or lower than the preceding close price, there is no way of knowing what actually happened intra-bar for these candles. And by default candles that close at the same price as the open price, will be counted as green. You can avoid this problem by utilising the sample period filter.
It is also worth noting that the sample size will be limited to your Trading View subscription plan. Premium users get 20,000 candles worth of data, pro+ and pro users get 10,000, and basic users get 5,000. If upgrading is currently not an option, you can always keep a rolling tally of the statistics in an excel spreadsheet or something of the like.
CPR with inside candle, Pivot Points and 4EMA The CPR trading strategy is a technical analysis approach that combines multiple indicators to determine potential price levels and trading opportunities. The strategy uses three main components: Inside Candles, Pivot Points, and the 4EMA.
Inside Candles: The Inside Candle pattern is a candlestick pattern where the current candle has a lower high and a higher low than the previous candle. This pattern can indicate a period of consolidation or indecision in the market and can signal a potential reversal or continuation of the trend.
Pivot Points: Pivot Points are technical indicators that use the previous day's price data to calculate key levels of support and resistance for the current trading day. These levels can act as potential areas of buying or selling pressure and can help traders identify potential entry and exit points.
4EMA: The 4EMA is a short-term Exponential Moving Average that tracks the average price of an asset over the previous four periods. This indicator is used to help identify short-term trends in the market and can signal potential buying or selling opportunities.
To apply the CPR strategy, traders first look for Inside Candles on their chart, indicating a period of consolidation or indecision in the market. Next, they identify the Pivot Points for the current trading day, which can act as potential areas of support or resistance. Finally, traders use the 4EMA to confirm the direction of the trend and potential entry or exit points.
For example, if an Inside Candle forms at a Pivot Point level and the 4EMA is indicating an uptrend, this could be a potential buying opportunity. Conversely, if an Inside Candle forms at a Pivot Point level and the 4EMA is indicating a downtrend, this could be a potential selling opportunity.

Table
The table is colour coded, consists of seven columns and, as many as, sixty-two rows. Blue cells denote the multi-part trend scenarios, green cells denote the corresponding upper candle trend scenarios and red cells denote the corresponding lower candle trend scenarios.
The multi-part candle trend scenarios are listed in the first column with their corresponding total counts to the right, in the second and fifth columns. The last row in column one, displays the sample period which can be adjusted or hidden via indicator settings.
The third and sixth columns display the candle trend scenarios as percentages of total 1-part candle trends. And columns four and seven display the total candle trend scenarios as percentages of the last, or preceding candle trend part. For example 4-part higher high trends as a percentages of 3-part higher high trends. This offers more insight into what might happen next at any given point in time.
Plots
For a visual aid to this indicator please use in conjunction with my Upper Candle Trends and Lower Candle Trends indicators which can both be found on my profile page under scripts, or in community scripts under the same names.
Green up-arrows, with the number of the trend part, denote higher high trends when above bar and higher low trends when below bar. Red down-arrows, with the number of the trend part, denote lower high trends when above bar and lower low trends when below bar.
█ HOW TO USE
This is intended for research purposes, strategy development and strategy optimisation. I hope it will be useful in helping to gain a better understanding of the underlying dynamics at play on any given market and timeframe.
It can, for example, give you an idea of whether the current upper or lower candle trend will continue or fail, based on the current trend scenario and what has happened in the past under similar circumstances. Such information can be useful when conducting top down analysis across multiple timeframes and making strategic decisions.
What you do with these statistics and how far you decide to take your research is entirely up to you, the possibilities are endless.
█ LIMITATIONS
Some higher timeframe candles on tickers with larger lookbacks such as the DXY , do not actually contain all the open, high, low and close (OHLC) data at the beginning of the chart. Instead, they use the close price for open, high and low prices. So, while we can determine whether the close price is higher or lower than the preceding close price, there is no way of knowing what actually happened intra-bar for these candles. And by default candles that close at the same price as the open price, will be counted as green. You can avoid this problem by utilising the sample period filter.
It is also worth noting that the sample size will be limited to your Trading View subscription plan. Premium users get 20,000 candles worth of data, pro+ and pro users get 10,000, and basic users get 5,000. If upgrading is currently not an option, you can always keep a rolling tally of the statistics in an excel spreadsheet or something of the like.
Oliver Velez IndicatorOliver Velez is a well-known trader and educator who has developed multiple trading strategies. One of them is the 20-200sma strategy, which is a basic moving average crossover strategy. The strategy involves using two simple moving averages (SMAs) - a short-term SMA with a period of 20 and a long-term SMA with a period of 200 - on a 2-minute timeframe chart.
When the short-term SMA crosses above the long-term SMA, it signals a potential bullish trend and traders may look for opportunities to enter a long position. Conversely, when the short-term SMA crosses below the long-term SMA, it signals a potential bearish trend and traders may look for opportunities to enter a short position.
Traders using this strategy may also look for additional confirmations, such as price action signals or other technical indicators, before entering or exiting a trade. It is important to note that no trading strategy can guarantee profits, and traders should always use risk management techniques to limit potential losses.
This script is an implementation of the 2 SMA's (can also choose other types of MA's), with Elephant Bar Indicator (EBI) and the Tail Bars Indicator in TradingView.
The Elephant Bar Indicator is a technical indicator used in trading to identify potential trend reversals in the market. It is named after the large size of the bullish or bearish candlestick that it represents. The Tail Bars Indicator is a pattern recognition technique that identifies candlestick patterns with long tails or wicks.
The script starts by defining the input parameters for both indicators. For the Elephant Bar Indicator, the user inputs the lookback period and the size multiplier. For the Tail Bars Indicator, the user inputs the tail ratio and opposite wick ratio.
Next, the script calculates the moving averages of the closing price over the defined short and long periods using the Moving Average function. The script then calculates the average candle size and volume over the lookback period.
The script then identifies the Elephant Bars and Tail Bars using the input parameters and additional conditions. For Elephant Bars, the script identifies bullish and bearish bars that meet certain criteria, such as a size greater than the average candle size and volume greater than the average volume.
For Tail Bars, the script identifies bullish and bearish bars that have long tails or wicks and meet certain criteria such as opposite wick size less than or equal to the tail size multiplied by the input opposite wick ratio.
Finally, the script plots the Elephant Bar and Tail Bar signals on the chart using different colors and shapes. The script also plots the moving averages and Keltner Channels to help traders identify potential trend reversals.
It is still under development, so please, if someone has ideas to add, more than welcome
Candle Trend Counter [theEccentricTrader]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator counts the number of confirmed candle trend scenarios on any given candlestick chart and displays the statistics in a table, which can be repositioned and resized at the user's discretion.
█ CONCEPTS
Green and Red Candles
• A green candle is one that closes with a high price equal to or above the price it opened.
• A red candle is one that closes with a low price that is lower than the price it opened.
Swing Highs and Swing Lows
• A swing high is a green candle or series of consecutive green candles followed by a single red candle to complete the swing and form the peak.
• A swing low is a red candle or series of consecutive red candles followed by a single green candle to complete the swing and form the trough.
Muti-Part Green and Red Candle Trends
• A multi-part green candle trend begins upon the completion of a swing low and continues until a red candle completes the swing high, with each green candle counted as a part of the trend.
• A multi-part red candle trend begins upon the completion of a swing high and continues until a green candle completes the swing low, with each red candle counted as a part of the trend.

Table
The table is colour coded, consists of seven columns and, as many as, thirty-one rows. Blue cells denote the multi-part candle trend scenarios, green cells denote the corresponding green candle trend scenarios and red cells denote the corresponding red candle trend scenarios.
The candle trend scenarios are listed in the first column with their corresponding total counts to the right, in the second column. The last row in column one, displays the sample period which can be adjusted or hidden via indicator settings.
The third column displays the total candle trend scenarios as percentages of total 1-candle trends, or complete swing highs and swing lows. And column four displays the total candle trend scenarios as percentages of the, last, or preceding candle trend part. For example 4-candle trends as a percentage of 3-candle trends. This offers more insight into what might happen next at any given point in time.
Plots
I have added plots as a visual aid to the various candle trend scenarios listed in the table. Green up-arrows, with the number of the trend part, denote green candle trends. Red down-arrows, with the number of the trend part, denote red candle trends.
█ HOW TO USE
This indicator is intended for research purposes, strategy development and strategy optimisation. I hope it will be useful in helping to gain a better understanding of the underlying dynamics at play on any given market and timeframe.
It can, for example, give you an idea of whether the next candle will close higher or lower than it opened, based on the current scenario and what has happened in the past under similar circumstances. Such information can be very useful when conducting top down analysis across multiple timeframes and making strategic decisions.
What you do with these statistics and how far you decide to take your research is entirely up to you, the possibilities are endless.
█ LIMITATIONS
Some higher timeframe candles on tickers with larger lookbacks such as the DXY , do not actually contain all the open, high, low and close (OHLC) data at the beginning of the chart. Instead, they use the close price for open, high and low prices. So, while we can determine whether the close price is higher or lower than the preceding close price, there is no way of knowing what actually happened intra-bar for these candles. And by default candles that close at the same price as the open price, will be counted as green. You can avoid this problem by utilising the sample period filter.
The green and red candle calculations are based solely on differences between open and close prices, as such I have made no attempt to account for green candles that gap lower and close below the close price of the preceding candle, or red candles that gap higher and close above the close price of the preceding candle. I can only recommend using 24-hour markets, if and where possible, as there are far fewer gaps and, generally, more data to work with. Alternatively, you can replace the scenarios with your own logic to account for the gap anomalies, if you are feeling up to the challenge.
It is also worth noting that the sample size will be limited to your Trading View subscription plan. Premium users get 20,000 candles worth of data, pro+ and pro users get 10,000, and basic users get 5,000.

Ectopic Bar by Moti RakamEctopic Bar is an indicator that highlights a pin-bar candle that has divergence in it's shape and volume delta. To find volume delta, code of standard Up/Down volume indicator has been used.
PIN BAR : pin bar are marked by using Close Range option parameter. Default value is set to 0.35 which implies any candle that closes in the 35% of its high/low will be considered a pin bar (of course the code also ensures that rest of the bar body is only a wick).
HOW IT WORKS:
Up/Down volume variables "Up Volume" and "Down Volume" are checked against the shape of the pin bar to find an ectopic situation. For example, if a bullish pin bar candle (a bullish hammer) has more sell volume than buy volume, that's an ectopic situation. The bullish hammer shows a buying push from the bottom of the wick, instead the up/down volume indicator shows there were more sell orders than buy orders. Hence the ectopic situation. Similarly, an inverted hammer (a bearish hammer) in general should have more sell volume, but instead if it has more buying volume, the indicator highlights it as an ectopic bar.
Ectopic Bars are painted in yellow colour.
Weekly Options Expiry Candle V.2In India Weekly options expire on Thursday and that creates a different price action candle than the week timeframe.

You can use this in any intraday time frame candle.
It will show:
All expiry candle in box format
Expiry OHLC label
Pivot (Floor or Fibonacci) based on expiry OHLC data
Developing Expiry candle and Pivot
A table showing expiry range(high-low) and Expiry body abs(open-close) stats.
You can turn on or off any feature.
Please let me know if you found this script useful or have any questions or suggestions.

Cloud Bunching [5ema]Reused some functions from (i believe made by):
©paaax: The table position function.
@QuantNomad: The function calculated value and array screener for 40+ instruments .
How it uses:
Gives signal when the cloud is bunching with ratio smaller than the set ratio and the close price breaking out the cloud.
Track 40 different symbols, on any timeframe to follow and alert.
When a symbol has a signal, it will display on the chart and send an alert.
How it works:
The cloud created by 5 EMA (20, 50, 200, 460, 610). Upper Cloud is max EMA , Lower Cloud is min EMA . Center line is averange (5 EMA )
If the ratio upper / lower < input bunching (%) -> change color of cloud.
Get the signal if: the close price break out cloud (with bar is shooting, or hammer ,...) and high volume (or not).
With another symbols (max 40 ) also use that function with any time frame. By request.security() and array function.
How it setting:
Change the bunching rate (%) of the clouds for any symbols.
Change the percentage (%) of the close price that breaks out of the bunching cloud.
Choose volume condition.
Show or turn off the cloud, table.
Select the symbol to follow.
Choose a timeframe to follow other symbols.

Vertical Line at nth Previous CandleThis code is a Pine script for TradingView that plots a vertical line on the chart n bars away from the current candle on the current time frame. The number of bars and line color can be customized by the user using input fields. The script calculates the highest and lowest price on the chart for the past n bars, and then draws a vertical line at the target bar with the specified line color. The previous line is removed and the ID of the new line is stored so that the next time the script is run, it can be removed and replaced with a new line. This script can be useful for marking important points on a chart or for visually tracking patterns or trends over time.
Entry Alert BotThis bot is SIMPLY to trigger an external webhook. You simply enter you take profit, entry, and stop loss %, and it will auto-populate the variables listed to the calculated values. That is all this script does. It does draw the trade on the chart for you. If you want a long, and price crosses up over you entry it will trigger the webhook. If you want a short and price crosses below your entry, it will trigger the webhook.
SumIndTarget:
The SumInd indicator combines Heiking Ashi, Sar Parabolic, Koncord, RSI, DMI, MACD and Bollinger Bands to give buy or sell signals or trends. This are called base indicators.
The goal is to have a clear and quick buy or sell suggestion and to avoid evaluating all or some of the named indicators, especially if they give contradictory signals among them. This speed and simplicity helps the trader to see several tickers in less time. It is intended for all markets and time periods where the above-mentioned indicators can be used.
How it works:
SumInd already has the importance or "weight" of each indicator named above configured, but they can be modified. You can set 0% for no use, or any other value based on the weight you want to give it, between 1% and 200% where 100% is the normal use, and increases or decreases based on importance.
Each base indicator can give signals to buy, sell or just "wait and see".
Each base indicator is checked for a buy signal, in which case its weight is added to the positive or green line, and if there is a sell signal, its weight is subtracted from the sell or red line. in case of indeterminacy or 'wait and see', nothing is added to any signal.
The yellow or total line is the sum of the buy or green signal plus the sell or red signal.
If the yellow or total line rises above the buy level, the background changes to green and an up arrow appears at the bottom of the chart indicating the buy suggestion, because most of the indicators you are interested in gave a buy signal.
If the yellow line or total falls below the sell level, the background changes to red and a downward arrow appears in the upper area of the chart indicating the sell suggestion, because most of the indicators you are interested in gave a sell signal.
The Buy and Sell level can be changed according to the security of the suggestion you need.
Areas without arrows or marks are considered "wait and see" areas, the previous trend in principle continues. They can be marked with the default background if desired from the SumInd settings.
Details and criterials:
Each of the following indicators can be turned on or off and assigned different weights of importances, by whether or not it shares the following criteria:
Heikin Ashi candles: add or subtract half an assigned weight if there is a buy or sell candle and the other half weight if there are two consecutive candles with the same signal.
RSI: Adds or subtracts the assigned weight if the ema is below or above the signal.
Parabolic Sar: Adds half a weight in transition to buy or sell and another half weight if there are two consecutive signals of the same trend.
Koncord: Add or subtract the weight if the current trend (mountain) grows or decreases respectively from the 4th previous time signal, and also the value (red line) is less than 35 or exceeds 65 respectively.
DMI: Adds or subtracts a quarter of the weight assigned by the DMI signal multiplied by the value of DMI, if the positive or negative signal exceeds the other negative or positive signal by 15% respectively.
Bollinger Bands: Add or subtract the weight if the previous third signal touches or falls out of the zone and keeps growing or decreasing respectively.
MACd: Add or subtract one third of the weight if the last 3 time signals are rising or falling, Add or subtract another third if the fast signal is above or below the slow signal, and Add or subtract the last third of the weight if it is rising with the negative fast signal, or falling with the positive fast signal.
