HBK Price Action Strategy HBKPrice Action Strategy for XAUUSD with a Favorable Risk-Reward Ratio
Understanding the Strategy:
This strategy leverages price action principles to identify potential entry and exit points for XAUUSD on a 5-minute timeframe. The core idea is to identify price action patterns that suggest a high probability of a particular direction, and then to set stop-loss and take-profit levels to manage risk and reward.
Key Price Action Patterns to Watch:
Pin Bar: A pin bar is a candlestick with a long wick in one direction and a small body in the opposite direction. It often signals a reversal in the current trend.
Inside Bar: An inside bar forms when the current candle's high is lower than the previous candle's high, and the current candle's low is higher than the previous candle's low. It often indicates indecision or a potential breakout.
Engulfing Pattern: An engulfing pattern occurs when the current candle completely engulfs the previous candle. A bullish engulfing pattern signals a potential uptrend, while a bearish engulfing pattern signals a potential downtrend.
Risk-Reward Ratio:
A favorable risk-reward ratio is crucial for long-term trading success. Aim for a minimum risk-reward ratio of 1:2, meaning you risk $1 to potentially gain $2.
Entry and Exit Signals:
Long Entry:
Identify a bullish pin bar or engulfing pattern.
Wait for a confirmation candle to close above the pin bar's high or the engulfing pattern's high.
Place a stop-loss below the recent swing low.
Set a take-profit target at a key resistance level or a multiple of the stop-loss distance.
Short Entry:
Identify a bearish pin bar or engulfing pattern.
Wait for a confirmation candle to close below the pin bar's low or the engulfing pattern's low.
Place a stop-loss above the recent swing high.
Set a take-profit target at a key support level or a multiple of the stop-loss distance.
Additional Tips:
Use Support and Resistance Levels: Identify key support and resistance levels to set your stop-loss and take-profit targets.
Consider Market Sentiment: Pay attention to market sentiment and news events that may impact gold prices.
Manage Risk: Always use stop-loss orders to limit potential losses.
Be Patient: Don't force trades. Wait for high-probability setups.
Practice Discipline: Stick to your trading plan and avoid impulsive decisions.
Remember:
Price action trading requires practice and patience.
Backtest your strategy on historical data to refine your approach.
Always adapt to changing market conditions.
By following these guidelines and practicing disciplined risk management, you can increase your chances of success in trading XAUUSD on a 5-minute timeframe.

Heikin Ashi RSI + OTT [Erebor]Relative Strength Index (RSI)
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a popular momentum oscillator used in technical analysis to measure the speed and change of price movements. Developed by J. Welles Wilder, the RSI is calculated using the average gains and losses over a specified period, typically 14 days. Here's how it works:
Description and Calculation:
1. Average Gain and Average Loss Calculation:
- Calculate the average gain and average loss over the chosen period (e.g., 14 days).
- The average gain is the sum of gains divided by the period, and the average loss is the sum of losses divided by the period.
2. Relative Strength (RS) Calculation:
- The relative strength is the ratio of average gain to average loss.
The RSI oscillates between 0 and 100. Traditionally, an RSI above 70 indicates overbought conditions, suggesting a potential sell signal, while an RSI below 30 suggests oversold conditions, indicating a potential buy signal.
Pros of RSI:
- Identifying Overbought and Oversold Conditions: RSI helps traders identify potential reversal points in the market due to overbought or oversold conditions.
- Confirmation Tool: RSI can be used in conjunction with other technical indicators or chart patterns to confirm signals, enhancing the reliability of trading decisions.
- Versatility: RSI can be applied to various timeframes, from intraday to long-term charts, making it adaptable to different trading styles.
Cons of RSI:
- Whipsaws: In ranging markets, RSI can generate false signals, leading to whipsaws (rapid price movements followed by a reversal).
- Not Always Accurate: RSI may give false signals, especially in strongly trending markets where overbought or oversold conditions persist for extended periods.
- Subjectivity: Interpretation of RSI levels (e.g., 70 for overbought, 30 for oversold) is somewhat subjective and can vary depending on market conditions and individual preferences.
Checking RSIs in Different Periods:
Traders often use multiple timeframes to analyze RSI for a more comprehensive view:
- Fast RSI (e.g., 8-period): Provides more sensitive signals, suitable for short-term trading and quick decision-making.
- Slow RSI (e.g., 32-period): Offers a smoother representation of price movements, useful for identifying longer-term trends and reducing noise.
By comparing RSI readings across different periods, traders can gain insights into the momentum and strength of price movements over various timeframes, helping them make more informed trading decisions. Additionally, divergence between fast and slow RSI readings may signal potential trend reversals or continuation patterns.
Heikin Ashi Candles
Let's consider a modification to the traditional “Heikin Ashi Candles” where we introduce a new parameter: the period of calculation. The traditional HA candles are derived from the open 01, high 00 low 00, and close 00 prices of the underlying asset.
Now, let's introduce a new parameter, period, which will determine how many periods are considered in the calculation of the HA candles. This period parameter will affect the smoothing and responsiveness of the resulting candles.
In this modification, instead of considering just the current period, we're averaging or aggregating the prices over a specified number of periods . This will result in candles that reflect a longer-term trend or sentiment, depending on the chosen period value.
For example, if period is set to 1, it would essentially be the same as traditional Heikin Ashi candles. However, if period is set to a higher value, say 5, each candle will represent the average price movement over the last 5 periods, providing a smoother representation of the trend but potentially with delayed signals compared to lower period values.
Traders can adjust the period parameter based on their trading style, the timeframe they're analyzing, and the level of smoothing or responsiveness they prefer in their candlestick patterns.
Optimized Trend Tracker
The "Optimized Trend Tracker" is a proprietary trading indicator developed by TradingView user ANIL ÖZEKŞİ. It is designed to identify and track trends in financial markets efficiently. The indicator attempts to smooth out price fluctuations and provide clear signals for trend direction.
The Optimized Trend Tracker uses a combination of moving averages and adaptive filters to detect trends. It aims to reduce lag and noise typically associated with traditional moving averages, thereby providing more timely and accurate signals.
Some of the key features and applications of the OTT include:
• Trend Identification: The indicator helps traders identify the direction of the prevailing trend in a market. It distinguishes between uptrends, downtrends, and sideways consolidations.
• Entry and Exit Signals: The OTT generates buy and sell signals based on crossovers and direction changes of the trend. Traders can use these signals to time their entries and exits in the market.
• Trend Strength: It also provides insights into the strength of the trend by analyzing the slope and momentum of price movements. This information can help traders assess the conviction behind the trend and adjust their trading strategies accordingly.
• Filter Noise: By employing adaptive filters, the indicator aims to filter out market noise and false signals, thereby enhancing the reliability of trend identification.
• Customization: Traders can customize the parameters of the OTT to suit their specific trading preferences and market conditions. This flexibility allows for adaptation to different timeframes and asset classes.
Overall, the OTT can be a valuable tool for traders seeking to capitalize on trending market conditions while minimizing false signals and noise. However, like any trading indicator, it is essential to combine its signals with other forms of analysis and risk management strategies for optimal results. Additionally, traders should thoroughly back-test the indicator and practice using it in a demo environment before applying it to live trading.
The following types of moving average have been included: "SMA", "EMA", "SMMA (RMA)", "WMA", "VWMA", "HMA", "KAMA", "LSMA", "TRAMA", "VAR", "DEMA", "ZLEMA", "TSF", "WWMA". Thanks to the authors.

Heikin Ashi TSI and OTT [Erebor]TSI (True Strength Index)
The TSI (True Strength Index) is a momentum-based trading indicator used to identify trend direction, overbought/oversold conditions, and potential trend reversals in financial markets. It was developed by William Blau and first introduced in 1991.
Here's how the TSI indicator is calculated:
• Double Smoothed Momentum (DM): This is calculated by applying double smoothing to the price momentum. First, the single smoothed momentum is calculated by subtracting the smoothed closing price from the current closing price. Then, this single smoothed momentum is smoothed again using an additional smoothing period.
• Absolute Smoothed Momentum (ASM): This is calculated by applying smoothing to the absolute value of the price momentum. Similar to DM, ASM applies a smoothing period to the absolute value of the difference between the current closing price and the smoothed closing price.
• TSI Calculation: The TSI is calculated as the ratio of DM to ASM, multiplied by 100 to express it as a percentage. Mathematically, TSI = (DM / ASM) * 100.
The TSI indicator oscillates around a centerline (typically at zero), with positive values indicating bullish momentum and negative values indicating bearish momentum. Traders often look for crossovers of the TSI above or below the centerline to identify shifts in momentum and potential trend reversals. Additionally, divergences between price and the TSI can signal weakening trends and potential reversal points.
Pros of the TSI indicator:
• Smoothed Momentum: The TSI uses double smoothing techniques, which helps to reduce noise and generate smoother signals compared to other momentum indicators.
• Versatility: The TSI can be applied to various financial instruments and timeframes, making it suitable for both short-term and long-term trading strategies.
• Trend Identification: The TSI is effective in identifying the direction and strength of market trends, helping traders to align their positions with the prevailing market sentiment.
Cons of the TSI indicator:
• Lagging Indicator: Like many momentum indicators, the TSI is a lagging indicator, meaning it may not provide timely signals for entering or exiting trades during rapidly changing market conditions.
• False Signals: Despite its smoothing techniques, the TSI can still produce false signals, especially during periods of low volatility or ranging markets.
• Subjectivity: Interpretation of the TSI signals may vary among traders, leading to subjective analysis and potential inconsistencies in trading decisions.
Overall, the TSI indicator can be a valuable tool for traders when used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and risk management strategies. It can help traders identify potential trading opportunities and confirm trends, but it's essential to consider its limitations and incorporate additional analysis for more robust trading decisions.

Renko StrategyRENKO STRATEGY
CAUTION : This strategy must be applied to a candlestick chart (not a Renko chart).
INTRODUCTION :
The Traditional Renko chart has been reproduced and is plotted according to the evolution of the price. It will enable us to receive buy or sell signals and follow major trends. This is a medium/long term strategy and depends a lot on the box size chosen in the parameters. There's also a money management method allowing us to reinvest part of the profits or reduce the size of orders in the event of substantial losses.
RENKO CHART :
Renko chart construction methodology :
The user must first choose the box size. The minimum is 0.00001 and there is no maximum. The default is 10. The user must then choose the source that will define the data on which the calculations will be based (high, low, open, close). By default, close is selected. The first candle on the chart is used to draw the first box with its high and low.
Each time the price changes by the amount of the box size relative to the high or low of the last box, a new box is added above or below the previous one. If price variations are less than the box size, the same box is added next to the previous one. If price variations are N (integer number) times greater than box size, N boxes are added above or below the previous one. Each box added above the previous one is a green box, while each box added below the previous one is a red box.
Conditions for drawing a green box above the previous one :
(source - high_of_the_last_box) / box_size > 1
Condition for drawing a red box below the previous one :
(low_of_the_last_box - source) / box_size > 1
If neither condition is triggered, the same box is drawn next to the previous one.
Example :
The last candle has drawn a box with low 12 and high 14. The box size is therefore 2. The strategy will look at the value of the close each time a candle ends. The current candle closes with a close equal to 15.5. As the variation from the previous high is only 1.5 (which is less than the box size), the same box is added next to the previous one. The next candle closes at 16.2. The price variation is therefore 2.2 compared with the previous high. We can now add a new green box just above the previous one, with a low of 14 and a high of 16. The same process applies if the candle's close is at least one box size below the low of the last box. In this case, a new red box is placed below the previous one.
PARAMETERS :
Source : Allows you to specify which data will be taken into account by the strategy when performing calculations. The default is close.
Box size : Size of Renko graph boxes. This is a very important parameter to choose carefully, as it has a strong impact on the strategy's performance. Defaults to 10.
Fixed Ratio : This is the amount of gain or loss at which the order quantity is changed. The default is 400, meaning that for each $400 gain or loss, the order size is increased or decreased by a user-selected amount.
Increasing Order Amount : This is the amount to be added to or subtracted from orders when the fixed ratio is reached. The default is $200, which means that for every $400 gain, $200 is reinvested in the strategy. On the other hand, for every $400 loss, the order size is reduced by $200.
Initial capital : $1000
Fees : Interactive Broker fees apply to this strategy. They are set at 0.18% of the trade value.
Slippage : 3 ticks or $0.03 per trade. Corresponds to the latency time between the moment the signal is received and the moment the order is executed by the broker.
Important : A bot has been used to test all possible box sizes to find out which one generates the highest return on BITSTAMP:LTCUSD while limiting the drawdown. This strategy is the most optimal with a box size equal to 5.08 in 8h timeframe.
BUY AND SHORT SIGNALS :
As the aim of this strategy is to follow major trends based on price movements, we need to be on the right side of price fluctuation. We trade every box reversal, i.e. we are LONG when the boxes are green indicating an uptrend and SHORT when they are red indicating a downtrend.
RISK MANAGEMENT :
This strategy can incur losses. The size of the box is decisive, as it is used to plot the RENKO chart and thus trigger buy or sell signals. It's also what allows us to manage risk. For every trade, we risk a maximum amount equal to 2 times the size of the box, i.e. :(5.08*2*nb_contract)/trade_value.
MONEY MANAGEMENT :
The fixed ratio method has been used to manage our gains and losses. For each gain of an amount equal to the value of the fixed ratio, we increase the order size by a value defined by the user in the "Increasing order amount" parameter. Similarly, each time we lose an amount equal to the value of the fixed ratio, we decrease the order size by the same user-defined value. This strategy not only increases our performance, but also our drawdown.
Enjoy the strategy and don't forget to take the trade :)
Volume Candlesticks [cajole]
This script lets you create the equivalent of "volume candlesticks" in TradingView.
"Volume candlesticks" normally vary their width according to the bar's volume. This script varies COLOUR instead of WIDTH.
Bar charts are also supported.
Candles/Bars are coloured by their distance from the average volume. You can also add a "huge volume" colour to further highlight the most extremely-high volume bars.
Note that volume is extrapolated for incomplete bars by default. So, if the average volume of the past 10 days is 5M shares, and 5M shares trade in the first 10% of today's session, that bar will be coloured as though 50M shares have traded. Set the "Extrapolate" option to 1.0 to disable this.
For this script to work properly, you should set TradingView's default candle/bar colours to be at least 20% transparent. By default, TradingView tends to overlay its own bars on top of indicators.
Nerdy details:
The script works best on a dark background, because it is easier to change the hue of white bars than of black bars. If you find a set of colours that work for white backgrounds, please comment with them!
The geometric mean is used instead of the arithmetic mean, to keep the 'average' from being strongly influenced by spikes. Bars are
then coloured by assuming a normal probability distribution and highlighting outliers. (This means that the first high-volume bars are coloured differently to later ones.)
ICT Market Structure and OTE ZoneThis indicator is based on the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts, and it helps identify daily market structure and the optimal trade entry (OTE) zone based on Fibonacci retracement levels.
To read and interpret this indicator, follow these steps:
Daily High and Low: The red line represents the daily high, while the green line represents the daily low. These lines help you understand the market structure and the range within which the price has moved during the previous day.
OTE Zone: The gray area between two gray lines represents the optimal trade entry (OTE) zone. This zone is calculated using Fibonacci retracement levels (in this case, 61.8% and 78.6%) applied to the previous day's high and low. The OTE zone is an area where traders might expect a higher probability of a price reversal, following the ICT concepts.
To use this indicator for trading decisions, you should consider the following:
Identify the market structure and overall trend (uptrend, downtrend, or ranging).
Watch for price action to enter the OTE zone. When the price reaches the OTE zone, it may indicate a higher probability of a price reversal.
Combine the OTE zone with other confluences, such as support and resistance levels, candlestick patterns, or additional ICT concepts like order blocks and market maker profiles, to strengthen your trading decisions.
Always use proper risk management and stop-loss orders to protect your capital in case the market moves against your trade.
Keep in mind that the provided indicator is a simple example based on the ICT concepts and should not be considered financial advice. The ICT methodology is vast, and traders often combine multiple concepts to develop their trading strategies. The provided indicator should be treated as a starting point to explore and implement the ICT concepts in your trading strategy.
Market Signals ComplexMIC is an indicator made from some standard deviations of Bollinger Bands, an EMA ribbon, some oscillators like the RSI, and some candlestick patterns like Bearish and Bullish Engulfing candles. It uses these parameters to help you trade/find high-interest zones in the short time as well as the long term. It can be used in any market.

No Wick Candlestick Identifier_GOVS1. Identification of Candlestick Patterns: The script checks each candlestick to determine if it meets the criteria for a "no wick" pattern. For bullish candles, it identifies those with no bottom wick, where the open price is equal to the low and the close price is greater than the open. For bearish candles, it identifies those with no top wick, where the open price is equal to the high and the close price is lower than the open.
2. Visualization: The script plots small triangles on the chart to highlight the identified candlestick patterns. Green triangles are plotted below bullish candles with no bottom wick, while red triangles are plotted above bearish candles with no top wick.
3. Drawing Lines and Labels: Additionally, the script draws lines extending from the opening price of these candles to the right edge of the screen, visually indicating the duration of these patterns. It also adds a label "Compensation" next to each line.
Heikin Ashi Candle Startegy for Long PositionThis strategy utilize Heikin-Ashi candlestick chart.
Heikin-Ashi technique is a Japanese candlestick-based technical trading tool that uses candlestick charts to represent and visualize market price data.
Heikin-Ashi candle is essentially taking an average of the movement.
There is a tendency with Heikin-Ashi for the candles to stay red during a downtrend and green during an uptrend.
This strategy only apply for long trading position.
The idea is trader will waiting 3 green candles for validation period (confirmation) before entering long position.
Different timeframe will result different result.
Number of validation period can be changed to see different result
This strategy has parameter for take profit percentage, trailing stop and stop loss.
User can set maximum active position to minimize risk and qty order.
This tool is useful for user who wants to backtest Heikin-Ashi trading strategy.
Script will emit alert when long position is opened and closed.
Warning of Backtesting
Backtesting is backward-looking. As the name implies, you are testing how something would have worked if you traded it perfectly in the past.
Past performance does not indicate future performance and you should not assume it does.
Backtesting assumes you never miss-fire, that you get in and out at the exactly perfect moment each time.
Backtesting assumes you have perfect liquidity, and your limit orders fill at a specific, pre-defined price every time (either the open, close, low, high, or some average of these).

YTC Candlestick SentimentMy recent discovery in terms of trading learning materials is "YTC Price Action Trader" book. It contains numerous invaluable clues, which I couldn't find anywhere else.
One YTC chapter covers Candle Sentiment analysis. Watching where 'close' of the candle happens can give early hints about future market action. Most of time you get those hints before the indicators provide it.
So there are two ways to look at candles:
1. Close Sentiment
This is single-candle analysis. Divide entire range of a candle (low to high) into 3 equal parts. The candle is:
- "High Close" - if 'close' is in the upper 1/3
- "Mid Close" - if 'close' is in the middle 1/3
- "Low Close" - if 'close' is in the lower 1/3
This is illustrated by the blue plot on "YTC Candlestick Sentiment" indicator.
2. Close Comparison
Compare position of 'close' with entire range of the previous candle. The candle is:
- Bull Candle - if 'close' is above 'high' of the previous candle
- Range Candle - if 'close' is between 'high' and 'low' of the previous candle
- Bear Candle - if 'close' is below 'low' of the previous candle
This is illustrated by the background on "YTC Candlestick Sentiment" indicator.
What can you do with this? It gives very good and early reversal hints. Mid/ranging signals should be considered "no signals" - in other words: market will continue in the same direction.
This indicator should be used as confirmation to other signals (as a standalone YTC Candlestick Sentiment produces too many reversal signals).

ECO (Blau`s Ergodic Candlestick Oscillator) We call this one the ECO for short, but it will be listed on the indicator list
at W. Blau’s Ergodic Candlestick Oscillator. The ECO is a momentum indicator.
It is based on candlestick bars, and takes into account the size and direction
of the candlestick "body". We have found it to be a very good momentum indicator,
and especially smooth, because it is unaffected by gaps in price, unlike many other
momentum indicators.
We like to use this indicator as an additional trend confirmation tool, or as an
alternate trend definition tool, in place of a weekly indicator. The simplest way
of using the indicator is simply to define the trend based on which side of the "0"
line the indicator is located on. If the indicator is above "0", then the trend is up.
If the indicator is below "0" then the trend is down. You can add an additional
qualifier by noting the "slope" of the indicator, and the crossing points of the slow
and fast lines. Some like to use the slope alone to define trend direction. If the
lines are sloping upward, the trend is up. Alternately, if the lines are sloping
downward, the trend is down. In this view, the point where the lines "cross" is the
point where the trend changes.
When the ECO is below the "0" line, the trend is down, and we are qualified only to
sell on new short signals from the Hi-Lo Activator. In other words, when the ECO is
above 0, we are not allowed to take short signals, and when the ECO is below 0, we
are not allowed to take long signals.
M2 Global Liquidity Index (Candles)M2 Global Liquidity Index (Candles)
In this enhanced version of the original M2 Global Liquidity Index script by Mik3Christ3ns3n , I've taken the foundational concept and expanded its capabilities for more in-depth analysis and user flexibility. This updated script aggregates M2 money supply data from major global economies—China, the U.S., the Eurozone, Japan, and the U.K.—adjusted by their respective exchange rates, into a customizable global liquidity index.
Key Enhancements:
Candlestick Visualization:
• Instead of a simple line chart, I've implemented a candlestick chart, providing a more detailed representation of liquidity trends with open, high, low, and close values for each period. This allows traders to analyze the index with the same technical tools used for price charts.
Customizable Components:
• Users can now select which components (M2 data and exchange rates) to include in the index calculation, giving you the flexibility to tailor the index to specific economic factors or regions of interest.
Dynamic Color Coding:
• Candles are color-coded based on their performance (bullish or bearish), with customized wick and border colors to enhance visual clarity, making it easier to spot liquidity trends at a glance.
Overlay Option:
• This script is designed to be an overlay, allowing you to plot the Global Liquidity Index directly on your price charts, facilitating comparison between liquidity trends and asset prices.
This enhanced script is ideal for traders and analysts who want a deeper understanding of global liquidity trends and their impact on financial markets.
On Balance Volume Heikin-Ashi Transformed
The OBV Heikin Ashi indicator is a modified version of the On-Balance Volume indicator that incorporates the Heikin Ashi transformation. This technical tool aims to provide traders with a smoother representation of volume dynamics and price trends.
The OBV Heikin Ashi indicator combines the principles of OBV and Heikin Ashi to offer insights into the volume and price behavior of an asset. Understanding OBV and Heikin Ashi individually will provide a foundation for comprehending the uniqueness and utility of this indicator.
On-Balance Volume:
OBV is a volume-based indicator that measures the cumulative buying and selling pressure in the market. It considers the relationship between volume and price movements to determine the overall strength and direction of a trend. Rising OBV values suggest bullish buying pressure, while falling values indicate bearish selling pressure.
Heikin Ashi:
Heikin Ashi is a Japanese candlestick charting technique that aims to filter out noise and provide a smoother representation of price trends. It calculates each candlestick based on the average of the previous candle's open, close, high, and low prices. Heikin Ashi candles can reveal the underlying trend more clearly by reducing market noise.
Methodology:
The 𝘖𝘉𝘝 𝘏-𝘈 indicator applies the Heikin Ashi transformation to the OBV values. Each OBV value is replaced with a Heikin Ashi equivalent, which is calculated based on the average of the previous Heikin Ashi candle's open and close prices. This transformation smooths out the OBV values and helps identify the overall trend with reduced noise. Additionaly, 2 optional EMAs are included for convergence-divergence analysis.
By applying the Heikin Ashi transformation to OBV, the indicator aims to enhance the readability of volume and trend information, providing traders with a clearer understanding of market dynamics.
Utility:
The 𝘖𝘉𝘝 𝘏-𝘈 indicator can be a valuable tool for traders and investors in analyzing volume and price trends. It offers a smoother representation of OBV values, allowing for easier identification of trend reversals, bullish or bearish market conditions, and potential trading opportunities. Traders can utilize the indicator to confirm price trends, validate support and resistance levels, and enhance their overall trading strategies.
It is worth noting that the effectiveness of the indicator may vary depending on the specific market and trading strategy. It is recommended to combine its analysis with other technical indicators and perform thorough backtesting before making trading decisions.
Key Features:
2 Adjustable EMAs
Normalized Oscillator Mode

Price Displacement - Candlestick (OHLC) CalculationsA Magical little helper friend for Candle Math.
When composing scripts, it is often necessary to manipulate the math around the OHLC. At times, you want a scalar (absolute) value others you want a vector (+/-). Sometimes you want the open - close and sometimes you want just the positive number of the body size. You might want it in ticks or you might want it in points or you might want in percentages. And every time you try to put it together you waste precious time and brain power trying to think about how to properly structure what you're looking for. Not to mention it's normally not that aesthetically pleasing to look at in the code.
So, this fixes all of that.
Using this library. A function like 'pd.pt(_exp)' can call any kind of candlestick math you need. The function returns the candlestick math you define using particular expressions.
Candle Math Functions Include:
Points:
pt(_exp) Absolute Point Displacement. Point quantity of given size parameters according to _exp.
vpt(_exp) Vector Point Displacement. Point quantity of given size parameters according to _exp.
Ticks:
tick(_exp) Absolute Tick Displacement. Tick quantity of given size parameters according to _exp.
vtick(_exp) Vector Tick Displacement. Tick quantity of given size parameters according to _exp.
Percentages:
pct(_exp, _prec) Absolute Percent Displacement. (w/rounding overload). Percent quantity of bar range of given size parameters according to _exp.
vpct(_exp, _prec) Vector Percent Displacement (w/rounding overload). Percent quantity of bar range of given size parameters according to _exp.
Expressions You Can Use with Formulas:
The expressions are simple (simple strings that is) and I did my best to make them sensible, generally using just the ohlc abreviations. I also included uw, lw, bd, and rg for when you're just trying to pull a candle component out. That way you don't have to think about which of the ohlc you're trying to get just use pd.tick("uw") and now the variable is assigned the length of the upper wick, absolute value, in ticks. If you wanted the vector in pts its pd.vpt("uw"). It also makes changing things easy too as I write it out.
Expression List:
Combinations
"oh" = open - high
"ol" = open - low
"oc" = open - close
"ho" = high - open
"hl" = high - low
"hc" = high - close
"lo" = low - open
"lh" = low - high
"lc" = low - close
"co" = close - open
"ch" = close - high
"cl" = close - low
Candle Components
"uw" = Upper Wick
"bd" = Body
"lw" = Lower Wick
"rg" = Range
Pct() Only
"scp" = Scalar Close Position
"sop" = Scalar Open Position
"vcp" = Vector Close Position
"vop" = Vector Open Position
The attributes are going to be available in the pop up dialogue when you mouse over the function, so you don't really have to remember them. I tried to make that look as efficient as possible. You'll notice it follows the OHLC pattern. Thus, "oh" precedes "ho" (heyo) because "O" would be first in the OHLC. Its a way to help find the expression you're looking for quickly. Like looking through an alphabetized list for traders.
There is a copy/paste console friendly helper list in the script itself.
Additional Notes on the Pct() Only functions:
This is the original reason I started writing this. These concepts place a rating/value on the bar based on candle attributes in one number. These formulas put a open or close value in a percentile of the bar relative to another aspect of the bar.
Scalar - Non-directional. Absolute Value.
Scalar Position: The position of the price attribute relative to the scale of the bar range (high - low)
Example: high = 100. low = 0. close = 25.
(A) Measure price distance C-L. How high above the low did the candle close (e.g. close - low = 25)
(B) Divide by bar range (high - low). 25 / (100 - 0) = .25
Explaination: The candle closed at the 25th percentile of the bar range given the bar range low = 0 and bar range high = 100.
Formula: scp = (close - low) / (high - low)
Vector = Directional.
Vector Position: The position of the price attribute relative to the scale of the bar midpoint (Vector Position at hl2 = 0)
Example: high = 100. low = 0. close = 25.
(A) Measure Price distance C-L: How high above the low did the candle close (e.g. close - low = 25)
(B) Measure Price distance H-C: How far below the high did the candle close (e.g. high - close = 75)
(C) Take Difference: A - B = C = -50
(D) Divide by bar range (high - low). -50 / (100 - 0) = -0.50
Explaination: Candle close at the midpoint between hl2 and the low.
Formula: vcp = { / (high - low) }
Thank you for checking this out. I hope no one else has already done this (because it took half the day) and I hope you find value in it. Be well. Trade well.

Engulfing Candlestick Pattern - BB FilterBeen working on doing a better version of this. This is like version 2.0. Usese this definition of an engulfing candle:
tradeciety.com/how-to-trade-the-engulfing-candlestick-pattern
As you change the parameters of the Bollinger band the signals will change.
You can also set the distance away from the band using ATR muliplier to catch moves near the BB.
Per Claude,
This setup should give you much higher quality signals since you're filtering for engulfing patterns that occur at the extremes of the Bollinger Bands - exactly like the Tradeciety article recommends. Those are the setups with the best context and highest probability.
A few tips for using it:
You can adjust the BB Touch Distance slider if you want to be stricter or more lenient about what counts as "touching" the bands
Try enabling Strict Mode if you want only the strongest engulfing patterns (where the full range including wicks is engulfed)
Works great on higher timeframes like Daily and Weekly for the most reliable signals on NQ and ES
I personally use this on the 1000 tick NQ chart.
It's not perfect but 2x better than my first attempt. Enjoy.
Open to suggestions as well.

MC WITH ALERTS DINESH SETHIYAManipulation Candle (MC): A candlestick that initially suggests price movement in one direction but then reverses, manipulating liquidity and closing in the opposite direction.
Types of MCs:
Bullish MC: Takes out the previous candle's low, reverses, takes out the previous candle's high, and closes above it.
Bearish MC: Takes out the previous candle's high, reverses, takes out the previous candle's low, and closes below it.
Ideal MC Characteristic: The rejection wick (bottom wick for bullish MC, top wick for bearish MC) should be larger than the directional wick.
