Candlestick analysis
The Black Sheep v1.0Black Sheep v1.0 is a comprehensive, multi-signal indicator designed to identify statistically significant market anomalies that often signal the activity of institutional traders or "smart money." The core principle is that institutional footprints are visible not in typical price action but in the unusual and statistically improbable events that deviate from the norm.
This indicator does not provide simple buy or sell signals. Instead, it acts as a powerful scanner, alerting you to moments of potential market manipulation, absorption, exhaustion, or stealth accumulation. Each signal is grounded in a statistical comparison of the current bar's price range and volume against a recent baseline, making it adaptive to any market and timeframe.
The name "Black Sheep" reflects the indicator's purpose: to find the bars that stand out from the flock—the anomalies that tell a deeper story about market dynamics.
Features
8 Unique Signals: Identifies distinct market phenomena, from stop hunts to absorption events.
Statistically Driven: Uses standard deviations for volume and range to define "unusual" activity, adapting automatically to changing market volatility.
Fully Customizable: Every parameter for every signal can be tweaked, allowing you to fine-tune the indicator's sensitivity to your specific trading instrument and style.
Clear Visual Alerts: Signals are plotted as clean, non-intrusive labels on the chart for immediate recognition.
Comprehensive Tooltips: Every setting is explained directly in the indicator's menu, making configuration intuitive.
The Signals Explained
Each of the 8 signals is designed to detect a specific type of market behavior.
1. Ghost Spike (Stop Hunt)
Concept: A sharp, sudden spike that breaks a recent high or low, only to reverse quickly. Crucially, this move happens on low volume, suggesting it lacks genuine market conviction. This is the classic signature of a stop hunt, designed to trigger stop-loss orders and trap retail traders.
Logic: Identifies bars with a very large range, a tiny body (wick-dominated), and volume that is statistically lower than average.
2. Absorption Candle (Iceberg Order)
Concept: Indicates a major battle between buyers and sellers at a key price level. This candle is characterized by massive volume but a very small body. It suggests a large passive order (an "iceberg order") is absorbing all the aggressive market orders, preventing price from moving. This is a sign of a strong support or resistance level being defended.
Logic: Detects bars with statistically massive volume but a price range that is mostly wicks.
3. VWAP Slingshot
Concept: The Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) is a key benchmark for institutional traders. This signal identifies a sharp, high-volume rejection from the VWAP line. It signifies that price tested this important level and was forcefully "slingshotted" away, validating its importance as a dynamic support/resistance zone.
Logic: Triggers on a bar that touches the VWAP, has a long rejection wick (measured in ATRs), and is accompanied by high volume.
4. Session Close Markup
Concept: Highlights aggressive, high-volume buying or selling that occurs in the final minutes of a major trading session (e.g., the NYSE close). This can indicate institutions "marking up" or "marking down" the closing price for portfolio management or positioning themselves for the next session.
Logic: Fires within a user-defined window before the session close on candles with a large, decisive body and high volume.
5. Dawn Raid (Pre-Market Spike)
Concept: A "Dawn Raid" is a sudden burst of high-volume activity during the typically quiet and illiquid pre-market session. This is often the first sign of significant interest in an asset, usually triggered by news, an earnings release, or a large fund building a position before the market opens.
Logic: Detects candles in the pre-market session with volume that is multiple standard deviations above the average pre-market volume.
6. Liquidity Vacuum
Concept: Identifies periods of extremely low volume and price volatility. In these "vacuums," the market is thin, and even small orders can cause disproportionate price movement. These periods often precede explosive, high-volume breakouts, acting as the "calm before the storm."
Logic: Flags candles where both volume and range are a small fraction of their recent averages (ATR and average volume).
7. Delta Divergence
Concept: A classic pattern that signals weakening momentum. A bearish divergence occurs when price makes a higher high, but the candle's body ("delta") fails to confirm it, suggesting the upward thrust is losing power. A bullish divergence occurs when price makes a lower low, but the delta shows less downward conviction.
Logic: Compares recent price pivot highs/lows with the corresponding pivots of the candle's delta (close - open).
8. Fake Breakout (High Volume)
Concept: This signal captures a failed breakout attempt that occurs on high volume. Unlike the low-volume Ghost Spike, this pattern shows that there was a genuine attempt to break a level, but it was met with even stronger opposing force. This creates a powerful trap and often leads to a strong reversal.
Logic: Identifies a large-range breakout candle with a small body and high volume.
How to Use
The Black Sheep indicator should be used as a confluence tool, not a standalone system. The signals it generates are points of interest that warrant further investigation. Use them to:
Confirm or deny a trade thesis based on your existing strategy.
Identify potential market tops and bottoms.
Spot institutional trapping and positioning.
Understand the context behind price movements.
For best results, combine these signals with analysis of market structure, support/resistance levels, order flow, and other contextual clues. Adjust the input settings for each signal to match the volatility profile of the asset you are trading.

Position Size CalculatorDESCRIPTION:
This indicator is essentially a calculator that prompts the user to enter 3 variables upon activation: Entry Price, Stop Loss Price, and Risk Amount ($). From those variables, the calculator will then output what the ideal amount of shares that should be purchased to meet your risk amount limit.
SAMPLE USE CASES:
1) Trading Futures: Upon calculating the amount of shares to purchase to enter a position, you can multiply that amount by the current share price, this will give you an idea on whether or not you require some leverage to get into your position.
2) Spot Trading / Simple Stock Trading: Upon entering the required information, you will know how many shares to purchase to meet your risk amount limit.
Katz Candle Momentum Reversal Indicator v4.1Katz Candle Momentum Reversal Indicator (CMRI) v4.1
Overview
The Katz CMRI is a comprehensive trading indicator designed to identify trend direction, momentum shifts, and potential market reversals. It combines several different concepts into a single, cohesive visual tool.
At its core, the indicator uses a custom Line Break chart calculation to filter out market noise and a Heikin-Ashi-style formula to smooth price action. This combination helps to more clearly define the underlying trend. The main output is a dynamic, multi-colored trend line accompanied by various signals that appear directly on your chart. It's designed to help traders stay with the trend while also spotting key moments of expansion, contraction, and potential reversal.
How to Interpret the Indicator
The indicator has several key visual components:
Main Trend Line: This is the thick, central line that changes color.
Green: Indicates a bullish (upward) trend.
Red: Indicates a bearish (downward) trend.
Faded/Light Colors: Suggest a potential loss of momentum or a pullback within the trend.
White: Signals a significant break in the trend structure.
Trend Cloud: The shaded area between the main trend line and the white midline (mid). A green cloud shows the trend is above the midpoint, while a red cloud shows it's below.
Upper/Lower Bands: The aqua (Trend Up) and yellow (Trend Down) lines represent the recent highs and lows of the established trend. When price is pushing against these bands, it signals trend strength.
Background Colors:
Gray: A "Contraction Zone." This indicates that the trend is losing momentum and consolidating, warning of potential chop or a reversal.
Blue: An "Expansion Event." This highlights a sudden increase in momentum in the direction of the trend.
Signal Shapes:
Diamonds: These are the primary entry signals. A green diamond below a candle signals a potential long entry, while a red diamond above a candle signals a potential short entry.
⬆️⬇️ Arrows: These are secondary momentum signals. They can be used as confirmation that the trend is continuing.
Trading Strategy & Rules
This strategy uses the primary diamond signals for entries and trend changes for exits.
Long Trade (Buy) Rules
Entry: Wait for a green diamond to appear below the price candles. For confirmation, the main trend line should turn solid green, and the price should ideally be above the white midline.
Exit:
Stop Loss: Place a stop loss below the recent swing low or below the candle where the green diamond appeared.
Take Profit: Consider exiting the trade when a red diamond appears above the candles, signaling a potential trend reversal. Alternatively, a trader might exit if the background turns gray (Contraction Zone), indicating the bullish momentum has faded.
Short Trade (Sell) Rules
Entry: Wait for a red diamond to appear above the price candles. For confirmation, the main trend line should turn solid red, and the price should ideally be below the white midline.
Exit:
Stop Loss: Place a stop loss above the recent swing high or above the candle where the red diamond appeared.
Take Profit: Consider exiting the trade when a green diamond appears below the candles. A gray "Contraction Zone" can also serve as an early warning to exit as bearish momentum wanes.
Indicator Filters Explained
The indicator includes a "Trend Filter Type" setting that allows you to adjust its sensitivity. This can help reduce false signals in choppy markets.
Raw: This is the most sensitive setting. It will generate a trend change signal as soon as the basic conditions are met. Use this for scalping or in strongly trending markets, but be aware that it may produce more false signals.
OutStep: This is the default, balanced setting. It adds an extra layer of confirmation by requiring the main trend line itself to be moving in the direction of the new trend. For example, a new green signal will only be confirmed if the trend line's value is higher than its previous value. This helps filter out weak signals.
FullStep: This is the most conservative and filtered setting. It includes the "OutStep" logic and adds further conditions related to the upper and lower trend bands. This setting will produce the fewest signals, but they are generally the highest quality, making it suitable for swing trading or avoiding choppy market conditions.

KA Intradia 2025This indicator plots horizontal levels based on the Daily Open price, providing intraday reference zones for traders.
Each line extends from the day’s open across the chart, and every level is labeled precisely at the right side of the chart for easy visibility—without overlapping the price scale.
The extension length, label positioning, colors, and percentage levels are fully customizable, ensuring the levels remain consistent across all timeframes.
No Wick 15m Candles (Anchored Arrows)defined upArrow and downArrow as series values (high or low when conditions are true, otherwise na).
Passed those to plotshape().
This way the arrows are anchored exactly on the candle high/low.
Support & Resistance Levels (DaruTrading)This Pine Script automatically identifies and locks key support and resistance levels using Williams-style fractals. Instead of manually drawing zones—a tedious and error-prone task—the script clusters repeated touches into clean levels or areas, complete with customizable styles and fills. By combining wick-based and close-based detection, it adapts to both swing highs/lows and body closes, capturing the levels traders actually respect. For risk management, this automation is powerful: consistent, objective zones reduce emotional bias, highlight true market structure, and provide reliable anchors for stop losses and targets. It streamlines a boring chore into a disciplined, data-driven trading edge.
KA IntradiaThis indicator draws horizontal levels based on the daily open price, extending them across the chart for clear intraday reference.
Each level is labeled directly at the right end of the line, ensuring prices remain visible without overlapping the price scale.
You can customize which percentage levels are displayed, the line colors, thickness, and adjust how close the labels sit to the end of the lines.
It’s designed for traders who want precise intraday support/resistance zones anchored to the daily open.
$ - HTF Sweeps & PO3HTF Sweeps & PO3 Indicator
The HTF Sweeps & PO3 indicator is a powerful tool designed for traders to visualise higher timeframe (HTF) candles, identify liquidity sweeps, and track key price levels on a lower timeframe (LTF) chart. Built for TradingView using Pine Script v6, it overlays HTF candle data and highlights significant price movements, such as sweeps of previous highs or lows, to help traders identify potential liquidity sweep and reversal points. The indicator is highly customisable, offering a range of visual and alert options to suit various trading strategies.
Features
Higher Timeframe (HTF) Candle Visualisation:
- Displays up to three user-defined HTF candles (e.g., 15m, 1H, 4H) overlaid on the LTF chart.
- Customisable candle appearance with adjustable size (Tiny to Huge), offset, spacing, and colours for bullish/bearish candles and wicks.
- Option to show timeframe labels above or below HTF candles with configurable size and position.
Liquidity Sweep Detection:
- Identifies bullish and bearish sweeps when price moves beyond the high or low of a previous HTF candle and meets specific conditions.
- Displays sweeps on both LTF and HTF with customisable line styles (Solid, Dashed, Dotted), widths, and colours.
- Option to show only the most recent sweep per candle to reduce chart clutter.
Invalidated Sweep Tracking:
- Detects and visualises invalidated sweeps (when price moves past a sweep level in the opposite direction).
- Configurable display for invalidated sweeps on LTF and HTF with distinct line styles and colours.
Previous High/Low Lines:
- Plots horizontal lines at the high and low of the previous HTF candle, extending on both LTF and HTF.
- Customisable line style, width, and color for easy identification of key levels.
- Real-Time Sweep Detection:
-Optional real-time sweep visualisation for active candles, enabling traders to monitor developing price action.
Alert System:

- Triggers alerts for sweep invalidation (when a sweep is no longer valid).
- Alerts include details such as timeframe, ticker, and price level for precise notifications.
Performance Optimisation:
- Efficiently manages resources with configurable limits for lines, labels, boxes, and bars (up to 500 each).
- Cleans up outdated visual elements to maintain chart clarity.
Flexible Configuration:
- Supports multiple timeframes for HTF candles with user-defined settings for visibility and number of candles displayed (1–60).
- Toggle visibility for HTF candles, sweeps, invalidated sweeps, and high/low lines independently for LTF and HTF.

Body-Based Inside/Outside Bars (wicks excluded)This indicator shows inside/outside bars EXCLUDING the wicks. The yellow vertical line indicates an inside bar (body only) and the blue vertical line indicates outside bars (candle body only).
KA_anualKA Anual
This indicator displays the annual opening price and projected percentage levels above and below it. It helps traders quickly identify whether the market is trading higher or lower relative to the yearly open, providing a clear view of long-term bias and major reference points throughout the year.
Candle by Candle (CbC)Shows trend based on color of the candle.
If there are two consecutive candles of the same color, it gives an entry signal. It will trail the exit to the low of consecutive candles. You can choose whether you want to trail to the low of all of the next candles or only the candles in the direction of your entry. Once exit is breached you get an exit. You can choose whether you want the exit on candle close or immediately when the price hits.
OTFThis indicator identifies One Time Framing conditions directly on the chart. One Time Framing occurs when a bar’s high is higher than the previous bar’s high without breaking the previous low (for bullish OTF), or when a bar’s low is lower than the previous bar’s low without breaking the previous high (for bearish OTF).
This tool helps traders to spot continuation moves and trend confirmation within any timeframe. Customizable inputs allow users to select the desired time interval and highlight both bullish and bearish One Time Framing sequences.
How to use:
Apply this indicator on any timeframe to automatically highlight OTF events.
Use the visual markers to identify trend continuations or early reversals.
Adjust the settings panel for color preferences and OTF sensitivity.
No trading signals or strategies are provided; this indicator is strictly for identifying the OTF structure in market price action. Suitable for all levels of traders interested in market structure analysis.
Consecutive Close ScannerOverview

📊 What is the Crypto Scanner & screener?
The Crypto Scanner is a powerful TradingView crypto tool built for scalpers, day traders, and swing traders. It scans the top 50 altcoins by market cap, spotting high-probability reversal setups across all timeframes – from 1-minute scalping charts to long-term swing trades.
This tool saves time by automating crypto market analysis, helping you trade smarter, whether you’re focusing on Bitcoin, Ethereum, or fast-moving altcoins.
________________________________________
⚙️ How the Crypto Scanner Works
1. Group 1 & Group 2 Coins: Scans two predefined groups :
Group 1: Top 25 coins by market cap.
Group 2: Next 25 coins by market cap.
Displays Group 1 signals by default in a table, with green (1) for buying pressure and red (2) for selling pressure.
2. Next Steps: When a coin shows a green or red signal, open its chart via TradingView’s symbol search. Look for:
Green X below a candle for bullish signals.
Red X above a candle for bearish signals.
Enter trades when price moves above the Green X candle’s close (buy) or below the Red X candle’s close (sell), with a stop loss at the previous candle’s close.
3. Profit Targets: Aim for 2%–7% gains. If price exits the cloud area, hold until it re-enters or an opposite signal appears. Exit if stop loss is hit.
4. Signal Significance: Detects 50+ candlestick patterns (e.g., hammer, doji) after prolonged trends, confirming reversals with price action near support/resistance levels—earlier than moving average crossovers for higher profits.
5. Color-Coded Table: Shows real-time signals:
✅ Green (1): Bullish reversal (buy).
❌ Red (2): Bearish reversal (sell).
6. Support/Resistance Validation: Automatically plots key levels to confirm signals.
________________________________________
🚨 Important Disclaimer
The Crypto Scanner is not designed to catch every market move.
If price moves slowly or the specific candlestick patterns do not form during extreme downtrends or extreme uptrends, the scanner may miss the reversal.
Missing a move does not make you poorer — instead, focus on the trades that the scanner does catch.
Ride those profitable waves and let the missed opportunities go. The goal is consistency, not chasing every candle.

Apex Edge – HTF Overlay Candles“Trade your 5m chart with the eyes of the 1H — Apex Edge brings higher-timeframe structure and liquidity sweeps directly onto your execution chart.”
Apex Edge – HTF Overlay Candles
The Apex Edge – HTF Overlay Candles indicator overlays higher-timeframe (HTF) candles directly onto your lower-timeframe chart. Instead of flipping between timeframes, you see HTF structure “breathe” live on your execution chart.
What It Does
• HTF Body Boxes → open/close zones drawn as semi-transparent rectangles.
• HTF Wick Boxes → high/low extremes projected as envelopes around each body.
• Midpoint Line → a dynamic equilibrium line that flips bias as price trades above or below.
• Sweep Arrows → one-time markers showing the first liquidity raid at HTF highs or lows.
Under the Hood
This isn’t just a visual overlay — it’s engineered for accuracy and performance in PineScript.
1. HTF Data Retrieval
• Uses request.security() to import open, high, low, close, time from any selected HTF.
• lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off ensures OHLC values update bar by bar as the HTF
candle builds.
• When the HTF bar closes, boxes and midpoint lock to historical values — matching the
native HTF chart exactly.
2. Box Construction
• Body box: built from HTF open → close.
• Wick box: built from HTF high → low.
• Boxes extend dynamically across each HTF period, updating in real time, then freeze at
close.
3. Midpoint Logic
• (htfOpen + htfClose) / 2 calculates intrabar midpoint.
• Line drawn edge-to-edge across the active HTF body.
• Style, width, color, and opacity are user-controlled.
4. Sweep Detection
• Flags (sweepedHigh / sweepedLow) prevent clutter: only the first tap per side per HTF
candle is marked.
• Lower-timeframe price breaking the HTF high/low triggers the sweep arrow.
• Arrows are offset above/below wick envelopes for clean visuals.
5. Customisation
• Every layer (body, wick, midpoint, arrows) has independent color + opacity settings.
• Arrow size, arrow color, and transparency are adjustable.
• Default HTF = 1H (perfect for 5m/15m traders) but can be switched to 30m, 4H, Daily,
etc.
Why It’s Useful
• HTF intent + LTF execution without chart hopping.
• Liquidity mapping: see where liquidity is swept in real time.
• Bias clarity: midpoint line defines HTF equilibrium.
• Clean signals: only the first sweep prints — no spam.
What Makes It Different
Most MTF overlays just plot candles or single lines. This tool:
• Splits body vs wick zones for institutional precision.
• Updates live intrabar (no repainting).
• Highlights liquidity sweeps clearly.
• Built for readability and professional use — not another retail signal toy.
Cheat-Sheet Playbook
1️⃣ Structure Bias
• Above midpoint line = bullish intent.
• Below midpoint line = bearish intent.
• Chop around midpoint = no clear direction.
2️⃣ Liquidity Sweeps
• ▲ Green up arrow below wick box = sell-side liquidity taken → watch for longs.
• ▼ Red down arrow above wick box = buy-side liquidity taken → watch for shorts.
• First sweep is the cleanest.
3️⃣ Trade Logic
• Body box = where institutions transact.
• Wick box = liquidity traps.
• Midpoint = bias filter.
• Best setups occur when sweep + midpoint flip align.
4️⃣ Example (5m + 1H Overlay)
1. ▲ Green up arrow prints below HTF wick.
2. Price reclaims the body box.
3. Midpoint flips to support.
4. Enter long → stop below sweep → targets = midpoint first, opposite wick second.
In short:
• Boxes = structure
• Wicks = liquidity pools
• Midpoint = bias line
• Arrows = liquidity sweeps
This is your SMC edge on one chart — HTF structure and liquidity fused directly into your execution timeframe.

“Make market streaks stand out: candle coloring + shaded zones for clear momentum.”
HTF Swing High and Low pivotsIndicator plots the swing high and low point from the chosen time frame. Solid lines are active levels, dashed lines are broken levels. Levels can be seen on low timeframes. Stack of levels act as a magnet for price to move to (not always, but most of the time). Look for reversals in these areas.
