[CP]Pivot Boss Candlestick Scanner - No Repainting This indicator is based on the high probability candlestick patterns described in the ’Secrets of a Pivot Boss’ book. The indicator does not suffer from repainting. I have kept this indicator open source, so that you can take this indicator and design a complete trading system around it. Although the patterns have some statistical edge in the markets, blindly using them as Buy/Sell Indicators will certainly result in a heavy loss. I like some of these setups more than others, and I have listed them in the order of my likeness. The first one I like the most, the last one, I like the least. The patterns are universal and work well in both intraday, daily and even larger timeframes. Signals in the example charts are manually marked by, Hammer - profitable short signal Rocket - profitable long signal X - unprofitable long or short signal GENERAL USER INPUTS: These settings exist as the indicator uses ‘Labels’ to mark the patterns and Pine Script limits a maximum of 500 labels on a chart. If you want to go back in the past and check how the indicator was doing, set the Start and End dates both and check the ’Use the date range above to mark the Candlestick Setups?’ option. EXTREME REVERSAL SETUP: This is by far my favorite setup in the lot. Classic Mean Reversion setup. The logic, as explained in the book, goes like this, 1. The first bar of the pattern is about two times larger than the average size of the candles in the lookback period. 2. The body of the first bar of the pattern should encompass more than 50 percent of the bar’s total range, but usually not more than 85 percent. 3. The second bar of the pattern opposes the first. The setup works extremely well in high beta stocks like Vedanta VEDL. Feel free to play with the settings in order to better align this pattern with your favorite stock. Check out the examples below, No indicator is perfect, failed patterns are marked with an X. OUTSIDE REVERSAL SETUP: My second favorite setup, it is quite good at catching intraday trends. Here’s the logic, 1. The engulfing bar of a bullish outside reversal setup has a low that is below the prior bar’s low and a close that is above the prior bar’s high. Reverse the conditions for bearish outside reversal. 2. The engulfing bar is usually 5 to 25 percent larger than the size of the average bar in the lookback period. Settings for this pattern simply reflect these conditions. Feel free to modify them as you wish. The pattern is pretty powerful and will sometimes help you catch literally all the highs and lows of the market, as shown in the examples of Vedanta VEDL and RELIANCE stocks below. As usual, this pattern is not PERFECT either. DOJI REVERSAL SETUP: Doji candles signify market indecision and this pattern tries to profit off these market conditions. Logic: 1. The open and close price of the doji should fall within 10 percent of each other, as measured by the total range of the candlestick. 2. For a bullish doji, the high of the doji candlestick should be below the ten-period simple moving average. Vice-versa for bearish. 3. For a bullish doji setup, one of the two bars following the doji must close above the high of the doji. Vice-versa for bearish. Feel free to modify the settings and optimize according to the stock you are trading. Don't optimize too much :) This pattern works brilliantly well on larger intraday timeframes, like 15m/30m/60m. This pattern also has a higher propensity to give false indications than the two described above. Doji reversal typically helps to catch larger trend reversals. Check out the examples below from RELIANCE and NIFTY charts, Note that the RELIANCE chart below is the same as shown for the Outside Reversal Setup above, notice the confluence of Outside Reversal and Doji Reversal on the 31st August. Confluence of patterns usually increases the probability of success. RELIANCE 15m Chart - Pattern can catch nice trends on higher timeframes NIFTY 15m Chart WICK REVERSAL SETUP: This pattern tries to capture candlesticks with large wick sizes, as they often indicate trend reversal when coupled with significant support and resistance levels. Logic: 1. The body is used to determine the size of the reversal wick. A wick that is between 2.5 to 3.5 times larger than the size of the body is ideal. 2. For a bullish reversal wick to exist, the close of the bar should fall within the top 35 percent of the overall range of the candle. 3. For a bearish reversal wick to exist, the close of the bar should fall within the bottom 35 percent of the overall range of the candle. This pattern must always be coupled with important support resistance levels, else there will be a lot of false signals. The chart below is the same NIFTY chart as above with the Wick Reversal candles marked as well. You can see that there are a lot of false signals, but the price also indicates ’pausing’ at important levels by printing a wick reversal setup. You can use this information to your advantage when riding a trend. FINAL WORDS: Settings for various patterns simply reflect the logic described. You will probably need to tweak and optimize the pattern settings for the stock that you are trading. Higher Beta/Higher Volatility stocks are a great choice for these patterns. Using these patterns at critical support and resistance levels will result in dramatically high accuracy. Be creative and try to develop a proper system around this indicator, with rules for position sizing, stop loss etc. You do not have to trade all the patterns. Even trading just one pattern with a proper system is good enough. DO NOT USE THIS INDICATOR AS A BUY/SELL SYSTEM, YOU WILL LOSE MONEY. Feel free to drop any feedback in the comments section below, or if you have any unique candlestick patterns that you would like me to code.

Bull and Bear Marubozus Candlestick PatternMarubozus are an interesting candle pattern wherein the close and open of the candle are also the high / low points of the candle. In other words, a candle with no shadows or wicks. How reliable are they, though? Probably not very reliable on their own. It may also depend on the size of the candle. You would probably want to incorporate this candle pattern with other filters, like RSI, MACD, to filter trade opportunities.

Candlestick RecognitionCandlestick Recognition Version 1.0 Fun script to recognize and name candlesticks. Hamers and Highwaves and Marubozus oh my! All candlestick names can be turned on or off in the settings since sometimes they stack close to each other and are hard to read. If you think I mislabeled any please provide me with an example of what you think it should be and I will review it to see if any changes need to be made. Please keep in mind that each stock will be a little different as the Candlestick Recognition uses ATR (Average True Range) for the calculations.

Abnormal Pin BarPin Bar is one of the most important candlestick patterns. Almost every time you see a pin bar, you can expect the price to turn in the opposite direction. You should pay more attention to the abnormal ones among the pin bars. What I mean by abnormal pin bar is that the long leg is at least 3 times larger than the body. With this indicator, you can set your own abnormal pin bar settings. The indicator will highlight abnormal pin bars according to the settings you specified. The indicator uses the following three factors to indicate abnormal pin bar: - Minimum body ratio in the pattern in percent - Minimum ratio of the long shadow to the body - Minimum ratio of the long shadow to the short shadow Also, there is a volume strength check to confirm the pin bar. If the volume where the pin bar is formed is greater than the 20 volume average, it indicates that the pin bar is more important. Of course, confirming the pin bar with the volume is optional and you can disable it in settings if you wish. You can use the highlights of this indicator as an entry signal if the pin bar appears at the trend key levels or in support or resistance zones.

Candles Based On Traded VolumeCBTV - Candlesticks Based on Traded Volume This is the first robust implementation of volume based candlesticks (bars) on TradingView. This type of bar was describe in the book "Advances in Financial Machine Learning," written by Lopez de Prado, a well-known quant who has managed billions of dollars over the course of his career. Volume Candlesticks (Bars) are bars that are indexed by total volume, with each set of N shares exchanged forming a separate bar. This means that on CBTV chart a candle forms not after a specific time interval defined by the time frame of the chart, but when a determined volume was traded. This approach to price sampling is much better than the time based one, because it does not oversample periods where nothing happens. Traditional candlestick charts show a lot of low volume bars without meaningful price changes in them. The efficient price sampling results in better results when using volume based bars in machine learning forecasting models. They are also useful for technical analysis. Candlestick patterns on CBTV chart are more pronounced and have more predictive power. Volume based bars can be constructed only for instruments where volume data is available. These are stocks, futures and crypto currencies. When you run CBTV it appears in a separate window below the traditional time based chart. CBTV will be used in pair with a helper indicator which is called Optimal Volume per Candle (OVPC). When applied to a chart OVPC shows the optimal range for volume per candle to construct volume based candlesticks from this timeframe data. It appears in the blue box above the most recent candle of a standard time based chart. When you set a Volume Per Candle parameter in CBTV make sure it is within the range that shows OVPC. In this case volume based chart will be easy to read and all the calculations will be performed with the high level of precision. The most recent unfinished candle is marked with the different set of colors than historical candles. Unfinished candle is colored in orange if it is a falling candle, blue it it is a rising one. If you leave the CBTV chart opened for a long time you can have multiple blue or orange candles on it. In this case press the “hide” icon with the eye sign twice (it’s on the left side of the indicator panel next to its input parameters). This will refresh the CBTV and remove the artifacts. While everything comes Real-time you will see the orange or blue bars form but never update. All you need to do is REFRESH THE CHART. Hoping soon to update this with a version you wont have to refresh the chart. Please drop a like and comment what you guys think and once again thank you Tradingview for such a great platform :)

3B-Play Finder1 - Objective 2 - How to use (Theory) 3 - How to use (Grade System) 4 - Inputs 5 - Extras and Alerts 6 - Notes Objective This script aims to mark 3 Bar play patterns (both short and long) by identifying them on the chart, with an arrow pointing up from long and down for short. Aswell, setting alerts based on grade. Following the base concept, this script comes with a "grade" system (A, B, C), which aims to classify 3B-Play according to input parameters. 2 - How to use (Theory) The pattern is described by a wide range Ignite bar followed by a narrow resting bar. Long Given a 3 Bar play pattern, with a wide range green bar, the entry point should be above the ignite and narrow bar wicks (high) with stop loss set below the resting bar wick low but within ignite wide range bar. The exit depends on the chart analysis, and there is no set rule for it. Short Similar to long but is with a wide range red bar and entry is defined on wick low and stop-loss at wick high. 3 - How to use (Grade System) Since 3B-play come in all sort of shapes, some are "textbook" perfect, others a bit more "loose". I set a grading system, to differentiate each one. The way the 3 Bar play quality is determined is based on the percentage size of the resting bar in relation to igniting bar size, starting from de close. An example of how this works is the following. Note: enabling the extra draws lines helps visually to adjust the grades to your preference. 4 - Inputs 3B Quality section Enable/disable each grade. CONTROL LONG / SHORT Set the percentage values for each grade. Extras Enable/Disable extra plots. 5 - Extras and Alerts This script comes with an extra section, enabling it, draws lines on the max and min values, as well, showing the values in text and the set percentage. Also, you can set alerts based on the grade and short/long, note you should set the alert to bar close to avoid pre-trigger warnings. 6 - Notes The script can be shorted a lot, by only looking for a single 3 bar play, to less than 30 lines.

Hammers & Stars StrategyOverview This script trades basic hammer and shooting star candlestick patterns. It's an extremely simple strategy with minimal filters, and according to my personal manual backtesting and automated trading results, performs best on the Daily chart on certain forex pairs. It is intended to be traded on the forex markets but theoretically should work on all markets (especially if you optimize the settings). The script also comes with complete AutoView automation for Oanda. Make sure you've connected AutoView to TradingView and Oanda, then simply set an alert using the "alert() function calls only" condition and it will automatically execute trades based on whatever settings you've selected (only recommended for experienced traders - use at your own risk!) If you're not sure how to set up AutoView, search "The Art of Trading AutoView Guide" on YouTube to find my detailed video guide. Check out my website and YouTube channel for more information, scripts, resources and free Pine Script & trading lessons (link in my profile). Best of luck with your trading! - Matt / The Art of Trading Settings Menu Tooltips are included explaining what the various settings do, but here's a quick summary: Strategy Settings >= ATR Filter: Minimum size of entry candle compared to ATR <= ATR Filter: Maximum size of entry candle compared to ATR Stop Loss ATR: Stop loss multiplier (x ATR) R:R: Risk:Reward profile Fib Level: Used to calculate upper/lower third of candle. (For example, setting it to 0.5 will mean hammers must close >= 50% mark of the total candle size) Start Date Filter: Date & time to begin trading from End Date Filter: Date & time to stop trading AutoView Oanda Settings Use Oanda Demo: If turned on then oandapractice broker prefix will be used for AutoView alerts (demo account). If turned off then live account will be used Use Limit Order: If turned on then AutoView will use limit orders. If turned off then market orders will be used (recommended to use limit order to mitigate spread issues) Days To Leave Limit Order: This is your GTD setting (good til day) Account Balance: Your account balance (used for calculating position size) Account Currency: Your account balance currency (used for calculating position size) Risk Per Trade %: Your risk per trade as a % of your account balance

[blackcat] L3 Price Positioning IndexLevel: 3 Background Are you tired of traditional Japanese candlesticks? Do you want to try a new type of candle master chart? Function L3 Price Positioning Index is totally brand-new candle chart invented by myself. This main chart can provide effective resistance and support levels, and you can see where the price is running at any time. There are 3 key circle lines. Green circle line is used to indicate oversold support or breakthrough support levels; yellow circle line indicates the midline position where prices may pause; and red circle line indicates overbought resistance or breakthrough resistance levels. There are two types of candlestick charts. The first type candles are mid-to-long-term trend candles, navy represents an uptrend and the length of the candle represents a change in intensity; maroon represents a downward trend and the length of the candle represents a change in intensity. This trend candle is the effective support and resistance level of the second type short-term swing candle. The second type candles are short-term candles fluctuate around the first medium- and long-term trend candles. The second short-term candle is divided into five colors: green means pump; fuchsia means retracement in the ascending process; yellow means bullish reversal signal; red means dump; blue means price rebound in the descending process. Key Signal THREE KEY LINES: htop --> red circle line, overbought resistance or pump breakout threshold hmid --> yellow circle line, price pause zone, sideways may happen here hbot --> green circle line, oversold support or dump breakout threshold MID-LONG TERM CANDLES: x22,x33 --> navy for up and maroon for down trend, they are important support or resistance for short term price movements SHORT TERM CANDLES: 1. bearreboun --> rebounce in down trend candle with blue color 2. pump --> up trend pump candle with green color 3. bullreversal --> bullish reversal candle with yellow color 4. dump --> bearish dump candle with red color 5. bullretra --> retracement in up trend candle with fuchsia Pros and Cons Pros: 1. Long term trend identification by three lines for overbought, oversold and breakouts 2. Mid term trend support and resistance with navy and maroon candles 3. Short term price behaviors are classified into 5 types of candles in blue, green, yellow, red and fuchsia Cons: I invent this to solve traditional JP candlestick shortcomings. If you find anything on Cons, just feedback to me for improvements. Remarks Brand-new Candle System invented by myself Readme In real life, I am a prolific inventor. I have successfully applied for more than 60 international and regional patents in the past 12 years. But in the past two years or so, I have tried to transfer my creativity to the development of trading strategies. Tradingview is the ideal platform for me. I am selecting and contributing some of the hundreds of scripts to publish in Tradingview community. Welcome everyone to interact with me to discuss these interesting pine scripts. The scripts posted are categorized into 5 levels according to my efforts or manhours put into these works. Level 1 : interesting script snippets or distinctive improvement from classic indicators or strategy. Level 1 scripts can usually appear in more complex indicators as a function module or element. Level 2 : composite indicator/strategy. By selecting or combining several independent or dependent functions or sub indicators in proper way, the composite script exhibits a resonance phenomenon which can filter out noise or fake trading signal to enhance trading confidence level. Level 3 : comprehensive indicator/strategy. They are simple trading systems based on my strategies. They are commonly containing several or all of entry signal, close signal, stop loss, take profit, re-entry, risk management, and position sizing techniques. Even some interesting fundamental and mass psychological aspects are incorporated. Level 4 : script snippets or functions that do not disclose source code. Interesting element that can reveal market laws and work as raw material for indicators and strategies. If you find Level 1~2 scripts are helpful, Level 4 is a private version that took me far more efforts to develop. Level 5 : indicator/strategy that do not disclose source code. private version of Level 3 script with my accumulated script processing skills or a large number of custom functions. I had a private function library built in past two years. Level 5 scripts use many of them to achieve private trading strategy.

Moving Average of Upper and Lower Wicks with optional smoothingIn the book, The New Technical Trader by Tushar Chande and Stanley Kroll there is a part that talks about candlestick analysis and how the wicks play a role on how the price will behave. When wick lengths increase then there could be uncertainty. Weakening of support and resistance levels can also be seen by the size of the candlestick wicks or shadows. Shoutouts to Mango2Juice from Tradingview and the The Academy of Forex for helping me out in making this and providing the moving averages function. When combined with other indicators or strategies, I find that this increases their accuracy when used correctly. For those that believe in price action, this might be worth a try. The book has only a brief section on candlestick wicks but it is one of the most interesting ideas I found. The book likes to include a simple moving average in its indicators with a certain length to provide a smoothing type of effect or a sort of extra indicator for the other to be above to give off quicker signals at the cost of accuracy. For this indicator it acts as a smoothing type effect which I put in because it is hard to see the slope and direction of where the moving averages of the wicks are going. The type of moving averages to use and the correct lengths are questionable and are not explained well in the book. If anyone can figure out a good use for this or know better settings or tips, please let me know.
