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.

SeaSide420 StrategyThis Strategy by SeaSide420 uses IchiMoku, Engulfing candles and 3 moving averages to find entry to buy and sell orders. It will hold buys and sells at the same time, it will close orders by StopLoss, or Trailing StopLoss or Target Profit. In the example chart here, only the trailing stop is active. It does have commission already included in this result. The initial test equity is set to 1 (1 BTC) so if you use this on say, a FOREX pair, you might want to check your settings, for example, set the initial equity to 100,000 USD as it normally is. I set this to 1 BTC to show that Holding 1 BTC for 2 years would not be as profitable as trading 1 BTC with this strategy for 2 years. The commission level is the same as Binance (0.1%), and the example pair is a Binance instrument, where Bitcoin trades can be in and out this way (CFD). Here it is shown on Daily chart, and with other timeframes/pairs, you may need to adjust the settings (MA period etc). New settings are achieved by you testing them yourself. This is published as an experimental script for use through API to do Automated trading on crypto exchanges. Questions welcome. Strategy free to use, Script private (PM me about it) I have not tested the alerts, but i did include alerts when open and close orders. Let me know if it works or not.

DECPDECP is simple and easy to use!
It detects bullish and bearish engulfing candlestick patterns.
After detecting the patterns I've said, it mentions that the pattern is going to continue its direction to up or down.
But remember candlestick patterns don't determine targets and it's possible that predicted directions fail.
So use it carefully and enjoy it!
CandletypesBackground information:
In my price action trading principles, I normally classify the candles into four types and look for trade opportunities. The candles are classified based whether buyers or sellers is dominating, namely, Indecisive candles, Decisive candles, Counter decisive candles and Strong decisive candles. Each of these can either be buyers or sellers dominant. This Philosophy I have attempted to convert into pine script for all traders to analyze and trade.
Indecisive candles: When the strength of the candle cannot be decided and we cant take any decision. Best is stay away. Something similar to conventional doji. Even though the strength is undecided, still the advantage can be towards either buyers or sellers favor. so we have Indecisive buy and indecisive sell candle
Decisive candles: When the strength is tipped towards the buyers or sellers, then I call Decisive bull or Decisive sell. This candles can be used to pyramid the trade position and not for initiating the trade, as many times it could be climatic also.
Counter decisive candles: These are candles , when the initial decision was towards one side and before closing of the candle, the decision was countered by the other side. There are counter decisive buy and sell. Counter decisive buy is actually a sell signal, because first buyers showed the strength later sellers overcome the buyers and become strong. Similarly counter decisive sell is a buy signal. These can be coupled with decisive candles for initiating the trading position
Strong decisive candles: These candles are good for initiating trade as a standalone alert system. It is something similar to pin bar, but more precise. we have both buy and sell and they have strong tendency to move in the direction of alert. These candles at right levels form a profitable trading system.
How the inputs are arranged:
There are total 8 candle types and whichever trader want can be selected for display.
By default,
The indecisive and decisive bull signals are placed on top of the charts as square and round green signal with title "IDB" and "DB"
The indecisive and decisive bear signals are placed on bottom of the charts as square and round red signal with title "IDS" and "DS"
The counter decisive and strong decisive signals are placed on the top and bottom of the candles.
In addition, the first candle of the day in any intraday time frame carries the label to display what type of candle is formed. This is very useful for making intraday trading.
This can be used freely by clicking to favorites. Source code is however not shared. please do contact for any additional info or modification.

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!

Note 1.
The patterns are based on extensive study of reference and famous sources and the experience of me and my friends in trading and analysis with price action methods.
Note 2.
Due to the Pine limitations in the number of outputs | plots for each script, our attempt has been made to select the best and most important patterns.
Note 3.
So far, many scripts have been written in this field, but our experience with all of them and even the build in version was not satisfactory, and this was the initial motivation for making the script.
We strive to improve progress and elimination of shortcomings and we will continue to make this better.
Note 4.
Through personal experience and based on the principles of market and candlestick psychology, we discovered a new type of pattern and named it as Kayo.
kayo is a two candle pattern which formed when:
1.We have a pivot point with prior candles as left bars and following candles as right bar. Pivot candle called as second candle.
2.In a bullish kayo, first candle must closed descending and second candle must closed as ascending. For bearish kayo vise versa.
3.In a bullish kayo, second candle's lower wick must be longer then upper wick.
4. A pattern marked as kayo when its conditions do not correspond to any of the other patterns(include the confirmation that user added), ie it has the last naming priority over the other patterns.
Note 5.
When you active confirmation options for patterns like hammer, engulf and etc which they conditions are like kayo in some extent, if they can't pass the confirmation steps, they can be marked as kayo pattern.
Note 6.
If you active volume confirmation for Three white soldiers | Three black crows, the confirmation get passed if the volume of forth or third candle increased as value as entered relative to volume EMA3 of 3 candles.
Note 7.
In a bullish pattern all highs of following candles MUST be higher than prior highs and all lows of following candles MUST be higher than prior lows. For bearish patterns vise versa.
This type of confirmation depends on High and Low NOT close!
