Buysell Martingale Signal - CustomBuysell Martingale Signal - Custom Indicator
Introduction:
This indicator provides a dynamic buy and sell signal system incorporating an adaptive Martingale logic. Built upon the signalLib_yashgode9/2 library, it is designed for use across various markets and timeframes.
Key Features:
Primary Buy & Sell Signals: Identifies initial buy and sell opportunities based on directional changes derived from the signalLib.
Martingale Signals:
For Short (Sell) Positions: A Martingale Sell signal is triggered when the price moves against the existing short position by a specified stepPercent from the last entry price, indicating a potential opportunity to average down or increase position size.
For Long (Buy) Positions: Similarly, a Martingale Buy signal is triggered when the price moves against the existing long position by a stepPercent from the last entry price.
On-Chart Labels: Displays clear, customizable labels on the chart for primary Buy, Sell, Martingale Buy, and Martingale Sell signals.
Customizable Colors: Allows users to set distinct colors for primary signals and Martingale signals for better visual distinction.
Adjustable Sensitivity: Features configurable parameters (DEPTH_ENGINE, DEVIATION_ENGINE, BACKSTEP_ENGINE) to fine-tune the sensitivity of the underlying signal generation.
Webhook Support (Static Message Alerts): This indicator provides alerts with static messages for both primary and Martingale buy/sell signals. These alerts can be leveraged for automation by external systems (such as trading bots or exchange-provided Webhook Signal Trading services).
Important Note: When using these alerts for automation, an external system is required to handle the complex Martingale logic and position management (e.g., tracking steps, PnL calculation, hedging, dynamic quantity sizing), as this indicator solely focuses on signal generation and sending predefined messages.
How to Use:
Add the indicator to your desired chart.
Adjust the input parameters in the indicator's settings to match your specific trading symbol and timeframe.
For automation, you can set up TradingView alerts for the Buy Signal (Main/Martingale) and Sell Signal (Main/Martingale) conditions, pointing them to your preferred Webhook URL.
Configurable Parameters:
DEPTH_ENGINE: (e.g., 30) Controls the depth of analysis for the signal algorithm.
DEVIATION_ENGINE: (e.g., 5) Defines the allowable deviation for signal generation.
BACKSTEP_ENGINE: (e.g., 5) Specifies the number of historical bars to look back.
Martingale Step Percent: (e.g., 0.5) The percentage price movement against the current position that triggers a Martingale signal.
Labels Transparency: Adjusts the transparency of the on-chart signal labels.
Buy-Color / Sell-Color: Sets the color for primary Buy and Sell signal labels.
Martingale Buy-Color / Martingale Sell-Color: Sets the color for Martingale Buy and Sell signal labels.
Label size: Controls the visual size of the labels.
Label Offset: Adjusts the vertical offset of the labels from the candlesticks.
Risk Warning:
Financial trading inherently carries significant risk. Martingale strategies are particularly high-risk and can lead to substantial losses or even complete liquidation of capital if the market moves strongly and persistently against your position. Always backtest thoroughly and practice with a demo account, fully understanding the associated risks, before engaging with real capital.
Shooting Star ORB🧠 Indicator Name: "First Candle Shooting Star + ORB"
📌 Purpose
This indicator detects when the first candle of the day forms a Shooting Star pattern and then monitors for a breakout beyond its range. It visually marks the pattern and the breakout with boxes and provides real-time alerts and a status table.
🔍 What It Does Step-by-Step
1. 📅 Detects the Start of a New Trading Day
Uses ta.change(time("D")) to identify a new trading day.
When a new day starts, it checks if the very first candle of the session is a Shooting Star.
2. 🕯️ Identifies a Shooting Star Pattern
A candle is labeled a Shooting Star if:
It has a small body compared to the full candle range.
It has a long upper shadow at least 2× the body.
It has a short or tiny lower shadow.
All these criteria are adjustable through inputs.
3. 📦 Draws a Box for the First Candle Range
If a Shooting Star is found in the first candle of the day:
It draws a red shaded box covering the high and low of that candle.
The box visually marks the potential Opening Range.
4. 💥 Detects Breakout from Shooting Star Candle
After the first candle:
If price moves above or below the range by a specified % (like 1%), it flags a breakout.
A blue shaded box is drawn at the breakout candle for visual confirmation.
5. 🔔 Alerts
🔴 Shooting Star Detected: Alerts when the first candle is a shooting star.
🔵 Breakout Detected: Alerts when the price breaks out of the first candle’s range.
6. 📊 Displays Real-Time Info Table
A small table is shown on the chart:

HTF Overlay Candles (Aggregated)🕯️ Synthetic Aggregated Candles
Created by: The_Forex_Steward
License: Mozilla Public License 2.0
🔍 Description
This indicator creates visually aggregated candles directly on your chart, allowing you to view synthetic candlesticks that combine multiple bars into one. It enables a higher-level perspective of price action without switching timeframes.
Each synthetic candle is built by combining a user-defined number of consecutive bars (e.g., 4 bars from the current timeframe form one aggregated candle). It accurately tracks open, high, low, and close values, then draws a colored box and wick to represent the aggregated data.
⚙️ Features
Aggregation Factor: Combine candles over a custom number of bars (e.g., 4 = 4x current TF)
Timezone Alignment: Aggregation is aligned with midnight in UTC-5 (modifiable in code)
Custom Colors: Choose colors for bullish and bearish synthetic candles
Body Opacity: Control the opacity of the candle body for visual clarity
Wick Width: Customize the thickness of the candle wick
📌 Use Case
Ideal for traders looking to:
- Reduce noise in lower timeframes
- Visualize price action in broader chunks
- Spot larger structure and swing patterns without switching charts
📈 How It Works
At every bar, the script checks whether a new aggregation interval has begun (aligned to the day start). If so, it finalizes the previous candle and starts a new one. On the last bar of the chart, it ensures the final synthetic candle is drawn.
✅ Tip
For best results, apply this script on intraday timeframes and experiment with different aggregation factors (4, 6, 12, etc.) to discover the most insightful compression for your strategy.
Note: This script is optimized for visual representation only. It does not repaint, but it is not intended for algorithmic strategies or alerts.
Adjustable Vertical LinesThe script provides an indicator which will plot lines - 15 min, 30 min and 60 min. You can customize the time intervals and go to as low as one minute, but I found the 15-minute and 30-minute intervals works best for me when trying to find setups, and the lower time-frame intervals, is just pointless to use if you're not scalping on the seconds timeframe.
You can customize inputs for the line style. Line thickness, colour, etc.
I've seen this work using the OBR theory and applying it to the one-minute candle then looking for other confluences like order blocks, or breakers, FVGs, BOS/CHoC for further confirmation for scalping. It's important to backtest though and see for yourself.
Thanks for the boost.
[Kpt-Ahab] Poor Mans Orderflow SimulatorScript Description – Poor Mans Orderflow Simulator
Purpose of the Script
This script simulates a simplified order flow approach ("Poor Man's Orderflow") without access to actual Bid/Ask data. The goal is to detect, quantify, and visualize patterns such as absorption, impulsive moves, and structured re-entry behaviors.
Calculation Logic
Absorption Candles
A candle is classified as "absorption" if:
The ratio of body size to full candle range is below a defined threshold,
Volume is significantly higher than the average of the last N periods,
The candle direction is negative (for long absorption) or positive (for short absorption).
These conditions define a candle with high activity but minimal price movement in the respective direction.
Impulse Candles
A candle is classified as "impulse" if:
The body-to-range ratio is high (indicating a strong directional move),
Volume exceeds the average significantly,
The price closes in the direction of the candle body (bullish or bearish).
Additionally, the average range of previous candles serves as a minimum benchmark for the impulse.
Cluster Detection
A cluster is detected when:
A minimum number of absorption candles is counted within a defined lookback period,
Either the long or short version of the absorption logic is used,
The result is a binary condition: cluster active or inactive.
Entry Signals (Re-entry)
An entry signal is generated when:
One or more absorption candles occurred in the last two bars,
A pullback against the direction of absorption occurs,
The current candle shows a directional move confirmed by a close in the expected direction.
These re-entry signals are evaluated separately for long and short scenarios.
Cluster-Confirmed Signals
A separate signal is generated when a valid re-entry setup occurs while a cluster is active. This represents a combined logic condition.
Alert Logic
The script provides a multi-layer alert framework:
Signal selection (Alertmode):
The user defines which signal type should trigger an alert (e.g. re-entry only, cluster only, combination, or impulse).
Optional filter (Filtermode):
A secondary filter limits alerts to cases where an additional condition (e.g. absorption cluster) is active.
Signal output:
As a simple binary value (+1 / –1) for classic alerts,
Or via an encoded Multibit signal, compatible with other modules in the djmad ecosystem.
These alerts are intended for integration with external systems or for use within platform-native visual or automation features.
Supply/Demand Zones + Engulfment-based ExecutionSupply/Demand Zones + Engulfment-Based Execution
Strategy Overview
This strategy combines institutional trading concepts—supply/demand zones and engulfing candle patterns—to generate high-probability long and short trade setups. The system uses aggregated price action to identify potential reversal zones and confirms entries with engulfing candle patterns, ensuring trades are only taken when market structure shows commitment in the direction of the trade.
Core Concepts
• Supply & Demand Zones: These are automatically detected by analyzing aggregated bullish and bearish candle structures over user-defined intervals. Supply zones are formed after bearish continuation patterns; demand zones appear after bullish continuation patterns.
• Engulfing Entries: Once price enters a zone, the strategy waits for a bullish engulfing pattern (in a demand zone) or a bearish engulfing pattern (in a supply zone) before executing a trade. This adds confirmation and reduces false signals.
• Risk Management: Stop-loss is placed at the low (for long trades) or high (for short trades) of the engulfed candle. Take-profit can be calculated using a fixed R-multiple (risk-to-reward ratio) or a user-defined target price.
Key Features
Fully customizable aggregation factor for zone detection
Visual zone boxes, entry/SL/TP boxes, and engulfing pattern labels
Optional removal of mitigated zones for cleaner charting
Configurable trade mode (Long only, Short only, or Both)
Support for trading sessions and date filtering
Alerts for price entering supply or demand zones
How to Use
Select Aggregation Factor: Choose how many candles to group together for identifying key zones (e.g., 4x timeframe).
Enable Zones: Turn on supply and/or demand zones as needed.
Set Execution Parameters:
– Choose R-multiple (e.g., 2:1 risk-reward)
– Or use a fixed take-profit price
Define Trade Time Window:
– Set the date and time ranges to restrict execution
– Use Start Hour and End Hour to limit trades to specific sessions (e.g., London/New York)
Run on Desired Timeframe: Typically used on 15m–4H charts, depending on your strategy and the asset’s volatility.
Ideal For
• Traders using Smart Money Concepts (SMC)
• Those who value high-confluence entries
• Intraday to swing traders looking for structure-based automation
⚠️ Important Notes
• The strategy requires engulfing confirmation within the zone to enter a position.
• This script does not repaint and executes trades on a bar close basis.
• Backtest results may vary based on session filters and aggregation factor.

Candle Count RSI📈 Candle Count RSI — A Dual-Perspective Momentum Engine
The Candle Count RSI is a custom-built momentum oscillator that expands on the classic Relative Strength Index (RSI) by introducing a directional-only variant that tracks the frequency of bullish or bearish closes, rather than price magnitude. It gives traders a second lens through which to evaluate momentum, trend conviction, and subtle divergences—often invisible to traditional price-based RSI.
💡 What Makes It Unique?
While the standard RSI is sensitive to the size of price changes, the Candle Count RSI is magnitude-blind. It counts candle closes above/below open over a lookback period, generating a purer signal of directional consistency. To enhance signal fidelity, it includes a streak amplifier, dynamically weighting extended runs of green or red candles to reflect intensity of market bias—without introducing artificial price sensitivity.
This dual-RSI approach allows for:
- Divergence detection between directional bias and price magnitude.
- Smoother trend confirmation in choppy markets.
- Cleaner visual cues using dynamic glow and background logic.
📐 How Standard RSI Actually Works (Not What You Think)
RSI doesn’t just check if price went up or down over a span—it checks each individual candle and tracks whether it closed higher or lower than the one before. Here's how it works under the hood:
1.) For each bar, it calculates the change from the previous close.
2.) It separates those changes into gains (upward moves) and losses (downward moves).
3.) Then it computes a smoothed average of those gains and losses (usually using an RMA).
4.) It calculates the Relative Strength (RS) as:
RS = AvgGain / AvgLoss
5.) Finally, it plugs that into the RSI formula:
RSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS))
⚖️ What Does the 50 Line Mean?
- The RSI scale runs from 0 to 100, but 50 is the true neutral zone:
- RSI > 50 means average gains outweigh average losses over the period.
- RSI < 50 means losses dominate.
- RSI ≈ 50? The market is balanced—momentum is indecisive, no clear trend bias.
- This makes 50 a powerful midline for trend filters, directional bias tools, and divergence detection—especially when paired with alternative RSI logic like Candle Count RSI.
🔧 Inputs and Customization
- Everything is fully modular and customizable:
🧠 Core Settings
- RSI Length: Used for both the standard RSI and Candle Count RSI.
📉 Standard RSI
- Classic RSI calculation based on price changes.
- Optional WMA smoothing to reduce noise.
- Glow effect toggle with custom intensity.
🕯 Candle Count RSI
- Computes RSI using only the count of up/down candles.
- Optional smoothing for stability.
- Amplifies streaks (e.g., multiple consecutive bullish candles increase strength).
- Glow effect toggle with adjustable strength.
🎇 Glow Visuals
- Background glow (subpane and/or main chart).
- Fades based on RSI distance from the 50 midpoint.
- Independent color settings for bull and bear bias.
🧬 Divergence Zones
- Detects when Candle RSI and Standard RSI diverge.
- Highlights:
- Bullish Divergence: Candle RSI > 50, Standard RSI < threshold.
- Bearish Divergence: Candle RSI < 50, Standard RSI > threshold.
- Background fill optionally shown in subpane and/or main chart.
📊 Directional Histogram
- MACD-style histogram showing the difference between the two RSI lines.
- Color-coded based on directional agreement:
- Both rising → green.
- Both falling → red.
- Conflict → yellow.
🧠 Under the Hood — How It Works
🔹 Standard RSI
- Classic ta.rsi() applied to close prices, optionally WMA-smoothed.
🔹 Candle Count RSI (CCR)
- Counts how many candles closed up/down over the period.
- Computes a magnitude-free RSI from these counts.
- Applies a streak-based multiplier to exaggerate trend strength during consecutive green/red runs.
- Optionally smoothed with WMA to create a clean signal line.
- This makes CCR ideal for detecting true directional bias without being faked out by volatile price spikes.
🔹 Divergence Logic
- When Candle RSI and Standard RSI disagree strongly across defined thresholds, background fills highlight early signs of momentum decay or hidden accumulation/distribution.
🔹 Glow Logic
- Glow zones are controlled by a master toggle and drawn with dynamic transparency:
- Further from 50 = stronger conviction = darker glow.
- Shows up in subpane and/or main chart depending on user preference.
📷 Suggested Use Case / Visual Setup
- Use in conjunction with your primary price action system.
- Watch for divergences between the Candle Count RSI and Standard RSI for early trend reversals.
- Use glow bias zones on the main chart to get subconscious directional cues during fast scalping.
- Histogram helps you confirm when both RSI variants agree—useful during strong trending conditions.
🛠️ Tip for Traders
- This tool isn’t trying to “predict” price. It’s designed to visualize hidden market psychology—when buyers are showing up with consistent pressure, or when momentum has a disconnect between conviction and magnitude. Use this to filter entries, spot weak rallies, or sense when a trend is about to break down.
⚠️ WARNING
- Not for use with Heikin Ashi, Renko, etc.).
🧠 Summary
Candle Count RSI is not just another mashup—it's a precision-built, dual-perspective oscillator that captures directional conviction using real candle behavior. Whether you're scalping intraday or swing trading momentum, this script helps clarify trend integrity and exposes hidden weaknesses with elegance and clarity.

Prev Candle Before Biggest Body (3-7am EST)This indicator automatically identifies and marks, for each trading day, the candle immediately preceding the largest open-to-close movement (in pips) during the key London session window from 3:00am to 7:00am EST (New York time). The largest candle is determined by the absolute difference between its open and close prices, measured in pips. The candle just before this “biggest” move is highlighted with a distinctive pink flag above the bar. This tool is especially useful for traders seeking to analyze pre-breakout price action or to identify key levels and setups that occur right before significant volatility during the early London session.
3 Bar Reversal3 Bar Reversal
This pattern is described in John Carter's "Mastering the Trade"
The 3 Bar Reversal indicator is a simple but effective price action tool designed to highlight potential short-term reversals in market direction. It monitors consecutive bar behavior and identifies turning points based on a three-bar pattern. This tool can assist traders in spotting trend exhaustion or early signs of a reversal, particularly in scalping or short-term trading strategies.
How It Works
This indicator analyzes the relationship between consecutive bar closes:
It counts how many bars have passed since the price closed higher than the previous close (barssince(close >= close )) — referred to as an "up streak".
It also counts how many bars have passed since the price closed lower than the previous close (barssince(close <= close )) — known as a "down streak".
A reversal condition is met when:
There have been exactly 3 bars in a row moving in one direction (up or down), and
The 4th bar closes in the opposite direction.
When this condition is detected, the script performs two actions:
Plots a triangle on the chart to signal the potential reversal:
A green triangle below the bar for a possible long (buy) opportunity.
A red triangle above the bar for a possible short (sell) opportunity.
Triggers an alert condition so users can set notifications for when a reversal is detected.
Interpretation
Long Signal: The market has printed 3 consecutive lower closes, followed by a higher close — suggesting bullish momentum may be emerging.
Short Signal: The market has printed 3 consecutive higher closes, followed by a lower close — indicating possible bearish momentum.
These patterns are common in market retracements and can act as confirmation signals when used with other indicators such as RSI, MACD, support/resistance, or volume analysis.
Usage Examples
Scalping: Use the reversal signal to quickly enter short-term trades after a short-term exhaustion move.
Swing Trading: Combine this with trend indicators (e.g., moving averages) to time pullbacks within larger trends.
Confirmation Tool: Use this indicator alongside candlestick patterns or support/resistance zones to validate entry or exit points.
Alert Setup: Enable alerts based on the built-in alertcondition to receive instant notifications for potential trade setups.
Limitations
The 3-bar reversal logic does not guarantee a trend change; it signals potential reversals, which may need confirmation.
Best used in conjunction with broader context such as trend direction, market structure, or other technical indicators.
VIDYA (Chande)This script brings you VIDYA – the Variable Index Dynamic Average, developed by Tushar Chande. It’s not your typical moving average. Unlike the standard SMA or EMA, VIDYA adapts its speed and smoothness based on real-time market momentum using the Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO).
Think of it like a moving average that gets faster during strong trends and slows down during sideways or choppy markets — just like how a smart trader would!
🧠 What Makes VIDYA Different?
Traditional moving averages use fixed smoothing, so they lag more during big moves or chop during weak trends.
VIDYA fixes that by adapting its behavior dynamically:
When momentum is strong → VIDYA reacts faster 🚀
When momentum is weak → VIDYA smooths out the noise 🧘
⚙️ How It Works (Explained Simply):
1️⃣ CMO Calculation (Chande Momentum Oscillator):
We look at the past cmoLength candles (default 9) and:
i) Add up all the positive price changes (gains)
ii) Add up all the negative price changes (losses)
iii) Use those to compute a normalized momentum score between -100 and +100
📌 CMO = (Gains - Losses) / (Gains + Losses)
• This gives us a momentum reading that powers the next step.
2️⃣ Dynamic Alpha Smoothing:
• We convert the absolute value of the CMO into an alpha — this is the "speed" of the VIDYA.
📌 Higher momentum = higher alpha → faster response
📌 Lower momentum = lower alpha → smoother behavior
3️⃣ VIDYA Formula:
• Finally, we apply the smoothing:
📌 VIDYA = α × Price + (1 - α) × Previous VIDYA
• This equation continuously adapts to market behavior — trending or ranging.
📊 What’s Plotted?
🟠 The VIDYA Line:
A smooth, responsive line plotted on your price chart that adjusts in real-time with price momentum.
🔎 How to Use It:
✅ Use it like a moving average, but smarter:
• Price > VIDYA and rising → Trend is likely up
• Price < VIDYA and falling → Trend is likely down
• Flat VIDYA = Possible consolidation or sideways market
✅ Combine with:
• Breakout strategies (VIDYA confirms momentum)
• Reversal entries (look for price crossing VIDYA)
• Volatility filters (ignore signals when VIDYA flattens)
🧪 Bonus Tip:
Pair this with a volume indicator (like my Volume Confirmation Bars or Volume Strength Highlight) to confirm whether momentum is backed by real participation or just a fakeout.
📩 Want alerts, dual-timeframe overlays, or VIDYA with other base inputs (like typical price or HLC3)? Let me know — happy to expand this for your setup!
Stay adaptive, not reactive — trade smarter with VIDYA! 🧠📉📈
Volume Strength HighlightThis simple script helps you quickly see when volume is strong or weak on the chart — it highlights the candles based on how the current volume compares to the recent average 📊
🔍 Here's what it does:
Calculates a 20-bar average volume
Marks candles green or red if volume is much higher than average (more than 1.5x)
Marks candles gray if volume is very low (less than 0.5x the average)
Normal candles stay unchanged
You can also turn on a basic volume plot in a separate panel if you want to compare visually (just toggle it in settings).
⚠️ It’s not a buy/sell signal — just a helper to see when the market is waking up or going quiet.
Not perfect but works well with other indicators! Let me know if you like it or have ideas to add more 💡
Market Sleep ZonesHey traders 👋
This script shows when the market is in a "sleeping" or low volatility phase. I call it Market Sleep Zones 😴
It looks at the average price movement over a window (default 20 bars), and if the price changes are small (under a % threshold you set), it highlights that area on the chart with a soft green background.
💡 This can help spot moments when the market is quiet — maybe before a breakout or just moving sideways.
It also places labels to mark where these zones start and end, so it's easy to track.
You can change:
The window size (how many bars to look back)
The breath depth (how much price is allowed to move before it’s "not sleeping" anymore)
Not perfect, but helpful if you want to avoid getting chopped in low-volatility zones or want to prepare for when the market "wakes up" 😄

Hide Current Bara lightweight overlay indicator designed to hide the color of the active (unconfirmed) candle on the chart.
Key Features:
Purpose: Hide the color of the currently forming bar (i.e., the active candle) on the price chart.
Psychological Benefit of Hiding the Active Candle’s Color
Hiding the color of the active candle can have notable psychological benefits for traders:
Reduction of Bias: The color of a forming candle often fluctuates as prices move up and down during its formation. This can trigger emotional responses such as fear or greed. By removing the color, traders avoid overreacting to incomplete information and are less likely to jump to conclusions based on transient price moves.
Focus on Confirmed Data: Since only completed candles are relevant for most technical analysis, hiding the color of the active candle encourages traders to make decisions based on fully formed and reliable data rather than noise.
Improved Discipline: By not seeing the color of the active candle, traders are less tempted to enter or exit trades impulsively in reaction to price flickers. This promotes a more systematic and disciplined approach.
Minimized Overtrading: Visual cues like bright green or red candles can prompt hasty trades, particularly in fast-moving markets. A transparent active candle helps reduce the temptation to trade every minor tick, fostering patience.
In summary, by hiding the color of the active candle, this script helps traders maintain emotional neutrality and focus on confirmed price action, leading to better, more rational trading decisions.
9:15 Range with 0.09% BufferThis strategy is based on the first 9:15 AM candle for Nifty, which is considered a key reference point (also called the "GAN level entry"). It defines a range around the high and low of the 9:15 candle with a 0.09% buffer on both sides.
The upper buffer level acts as a potential resistance.
The lower buffer level acts as a potential support.
When the price crosses above the upper buffer, it signals a possible entry for a Call option (CE) or a long position.
When the price crosses below the lower buffer, it signals a possible entry for a Put option (PE) or a short position.
This approach helps traders identify early breakout opportunities based on the opening candle range, aiming to capture momentum moves in either direction during the trading session.
Shooting Star Detector[cryptovarthagam]🌠 Shooting Star Detector
The Shooting Star Detector is a powerful price action tool that automatically identifies potential bearish reversal signals using the well-known Shooting Star candlestick pattern.
Ideal for traders who rely on candlestick psychology to spot high-probability short setups, this script works across all markets and timeframes.
🔍 What is a Shooting Star?
A Shooting Star is a single-candle pattern that typically forms at the top of an uptrend or resistance zone. It’s characterized by:
A small body near the candle's low,
A long upper wick, and
Little or no lower wick.
This pattern suggests that buyers pushed price higher but lost control by the close, hinting at potential bearish momentum ahead.
✅ Indicator Features:
🔴 Accurately detects Shooting Star candles in real-time
🔺 Plots a red triangle above every valid signal candle
🖼️ Optional background highlight for visual clarity
🕵️♂️ Strict ratio-based detection using:
Wick-to-body comparisons
Upper wick dominance
Optional bearish candle confirmation
⚙️ Detection Logic (Rules Used):
Upper wick > 60% of total candle range
Body < 20% of total candle
Lower wick < 15% of candle range
Bearish candle (optional but included for accuracy)
These rules ensure high-quality signals that filter out false positives.
📌 Best Use Cases:
Spotting trend reversals at swing highs
Confirming entries near resistance zones
Enhancing price action or supply/demand strategies
Works on: Crypto, Forex, Stocks, Commodities
🧠 Trading Tip:
Pair this detector with volume confirmation, resistance zones, or bearish divergence for higher-probability entries.
📉 Clean, minimal, and non-repainting — designed for traders who value accuracy over noise.
