This indicator highlights the tweezer tops and tweezer bottoms on the chart it is applied on.
Per the definition, a tweezer top is a candlestick pattern in which the first candle is bullish, the second one is bearish and they have the same high. Other traders define a tweezer top using the close of the first candle and the open of the second one, but the indicator currently supports only comparison based on the high of these candles. Future updates might contain support for the alternative definition of a tweezer top, if requested.
Per the definition, a tweezer bottom is a candlestick pattern in which the first candle is bearish, the second one is bullish and they have the same low. Other traders define a tweezer bottom using the close of the first candle and the open of the second one, but the indicator currently supports only comparison based on the low of these candles. Future updates might contain support for the alternative definition of a tweezer bottom, if requested.
By default, the indicator requires that the tweezer top is also a pivot high, and the tweezer bottom is also a pivot low. These options can be disabled in the Settings panel of the indicator. The indicator scans for a customizable number of candles to the left and to the right of the potential pivot.
The plot line contains both upward and downward spikes, depending on the type of tweezers the indicator finds. It is useful when the chart is zoomed out and the colored candles cannot be easily seen.
