HTF Candles by Prosum SolutionsOverview of Features
This indicator was inspired by the work of "informanerd" in the script called "HTF Candles" as well as the built-in script called "Multi-Time Period Charts" by TradingView. The script will provide a highly customizable interface to specify the higher timeframe resolution for the candlesticks, the type of candle, as well as various styling options for the body, borders and wicks.
Usage Information
The indicator can be applied to any chart at any time frame, but resolutions less than 1 minute may demonstrate gaps between bars and the candles may not render properly.
When the "Same as chart" option is chosen for the "Resolution" field, the indicator will attempt to find a higher timeframe resolution to ensure the candlesticks are drawn.

HTF CandlesThis draws candlesticks from higher time frames on the current chart. I tried to keep the script simple using some newly introduced Pine capabilities.
To change the options like the higher time frame and candle colors, check the indicator settings.
Looking forward to your opinions!
Candlestick Patterns - BisayaTCThe script displays a label when a candle stick pattern is detected based on Trends. This is related to the latest Candlestick patterns released in TradingView. I've created this to have all candlestick patterns in one indicator.
Candlestick Patterns can be one of confirmation of a trend you're following or a reversal.

4H & Daily Previous Candle + Fibonacci + OTE# Multi-Timeframe OTE & Fibonacci Indicator (4H & Daily)
This Pine Script v5 indicator is designed for traders who utilize **Optimal Trade Entry (OTE)** zones and **Fibonacci retracements** based on higher timeframe market structures. It automatically identifies and plots key levels from the previous 4-hour and Daily candles to help find high-probability reversal zones.
## Key Features
### 1. Dual Timeframe OTE Zones
- **4H OTE Zone**: Automatically calculates and shades the Optimal Trade Entry area (default 61.8% - 78.6%) based on the previous 4-hour candle's range.
- **Daily OTE Zone**: Plots a secondary OTE zone based on the previous Daily candle, allowing for multi-timeframe confluence analysis.
- **Dynamic Adaptation**: The zones automatically flip based on whether the previous candle was bullish or bearish, ensuring you are always looking at the correct retracement levels.
### 2. Automated Market Structure
- **High/Low Tracking**: Plots clear horizontal lines for the previous 4H and Daily Highs and Lows.
- **Visual Distinction**: Daily levels are highlighted with thicker lines to distinguish them from 4H levels.
- **Price Labels**: Displays real-time price labels for all structural levels for quick reference.
### 3. Customizable Fibonacci Retracements
- **4H Fibonacci Levels**: Plots standard retracement levels (23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 78.6%) for the 4H timeframe.
- **Fully Adjustable**: Users can input custom Fibonacci levels via the settings menu.
### 4. Real-Time Information Dashboard
- **Range Summary**: A clean table in the top-right corner displays the total pip/point range for both the previous 4H and Daily candles.
- **Clean UI**: All visual elements (colors, line widths, labels) can be toggled or customized to fit any chart theme.
## How to Use
This indicator is ideal for "Smart Money" or "ICT" style trading. Look for **confluence** where the 4H OTE zone overlaps with the Daily OTE zone or other key structural levels to identify high-precision entry points.

Cumulative Volume Delta Candles Aggregated (Lite)Cumulative Volume Delta Candles Aggregated (Lite)
Multi-Exchange CVD Visualization in Candle Format
This indicator provides an aggregated Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) view across multiple major perpetual futures exchanges in one chart. It is designed for traders who want a broader perspective on buying and selling pressure without switching between multiple charts or relying on a single exchange feed.
What It Does
Combines volume delta data from Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, and Coinbase into a unified representation.
Displays CVD as candlesticks, where each candle reflects the open, high, low, and close of cumulative delta for the selected period.
Offers a clear visual of how buying and selling pressure evolves across markets in a structured, familiar candle format.
Key Features
✔ Exchange Aggregation: Incorporates data from several top futures markets available on TradingView.
✔ Anchor Reset: Allows you to set an anchor timeframe (e.g., daily) to reset cumulative values for better readability and analysis.
✔ Unit Normalization: Since exchanges report volumes in different units, the indicator normalizes all data and outputs values denominated in the base currency (coins) for consistency.
✔ Hidden OHLC Outputs: Provides open, high, low, and close values as hidden plots for use with other indicators or strategies.
✔ Lightweight Design: Optimized for efficiency while handling multiple real-time data requests.
Why It’s Different
Unlike standard single-exchange CVD tools, this indicator aggregates the majority of perpetual volume data available on TradingView, offering a more representative view of market sentiment. The candle-based representation of CVD introduces an additional layer of structure, helping traders identify shifts in momentum and pressure with more context than a simple cumulative line.
Use Cases
- Spotting aggregated buy/sell pressure trends across multiple exchanges.
- Confirming breakout or reversal signals with broader volume delta context.
- Serving as a custom data source for other indicators or algorithmic strategies.
High Volume CandlesInspired by Key bars from Option Stalker Pro.
This one is meant to be used on charts where the interval is <1D.
Highlights candles in chart with Volume > 1.4 * last 30 candles average volume.
Helps to not accidentally miss that a candle move happened on high volume (or that it did not happen on high volume...), like potential reversals or resistance/support breaks.
Make sure to move this indicator above the ticker in the Object Tree, so that it is drawn on top of the ticker's candles.

Consecutive Candle CounterConsecutive Condition Counter is a versatile indicator that tracks and visualizes consecutive candles based on user-defined market conditions. It helps traders quickly identify streaks of bullish or bearish signals by counting how many bars in a row satisfy the selected condition.
🔍 Features:
Three selectable conditions via a dropdown:
Up & Down Days: Counts consecutive up or down candles. Each up candle adds +1, each down candle subtracts -1. The counter resets when direction changes.
RSI Signal: Counts how many consecutive bars RSI remains above 70 (+1 per bar) or below 30 (-1 per bar). Resets when RSI moves back to the neutral zone.
SMA Positioning: Counts consecutive bars where price stays above (+1) or below (-1) a Simple Moving Average (SMA). SMA period is user-defined.
📊 Visualization:
Positive streaks are shown in green, negative streaks in red, and neutral values in gray.
Displayed as a histogram below the chart for quick pattern recognition.
⚙️ Inputs:
Choose condition logic from the dropdown.
Configure the RSI period and SMA period as needed.
This tool can be helpful for identifying momentum streaks, overbought/oversold trends, or trend-following behavior in a visually intuitive way.
Rollover Candles 23:00-00:00 UTC+1This indicator highlights the Forex Market Rollover candles during which the spreads get very high and some 'fake price action' occurs. By marking them orange you always know you are dealing with a rollover candle and these wicks/candles usually get taken out later on because there are no orders in these candles.
Optimal settings: The rollover takes only 1 hour, so put the visibility of the indicator on the 1 hour time frame and below (or just the 1h).

Shaved Candle IdentifierThis script is different because it actually highlights the candle and is not just an icon. It will identify bars that have no wick. Each color represents a different type of candle.
Shaved candles represent major liquidity zones, and tend to get swept in the future.
Shaved candles are useful for spotting reversals and as price targets.
Green is when open = low
Red is when open = high
Blue is when close = high
Orange is when close = low
There is 0 tolerance for any deviation, if the price is 0.001 off, it will not be identified. Only absolutely shaved candles will be identified.
Overlay Hourly Candle [odnac] * This script overlays 1-hour candlestick representations on the chart.
* It captures the open, close, high, and low prices for each hourly period.
* The script dynamically updates as new hourly candles form and adjusts the
* box and wick positions accordingly.
*
* Features:
* - Draws an hourly candle with body and wicks.
* - Colors bullish candles in green and bearish candles in red.
* - Updates dynamically as new hourly candles form.
* - Uses TradingView's box and line functions to represent candle structures.
*
* Usage:
* - Add the script to your TradingView chart as an overlay.
* - Observe how the hourly candles appear distinctly on any timeframe.
Enhanced Doji Candle StrategyYour trading strategy is a Doji Candlestick Reversal Strategy designed to identify potential market reversals using Doji candlestick patterns. These candles indicate indecision in the market, and when detected, your strategy uses a Simple Moving Average (SMA) with a short period of 20 to confirm the overall market trend. If the price is above the SMA, the trend is considered bullish; if it's below, the trend is bearish.
Once a Doji is detected, the strategy waits for one or two consecutive confirmation candles that align with the market trend. For a bullish confirmation, the candles must close higher than their opening price without significant bottom wicks. Conversely, for a bearish confirmation, the candles must close lower without noticeable top wicks. When these conditions are met, a trade is entered at the market price.
The risk management aspect of your strategy is clearly defined. A stop loss is automatically placed at the nearest recent swing high or low, with a tighter distance of 5 pips to allow for more trading opportunities. A take-profit level is set using a 2:1 reward-to-risk ratio, meaning the potential reward is twice the size of the risk on each trade.
Additionally, the strategy incorporates an early exit mechanism. If a reversal Doji forms in the opposite direction of your trade, the position is closed immediately to minimize losses. This strategy has been optimized to increase trade frequency by loosening the strictness of Doji detection and confirmation conditions while still maintaining sound risk management principles.
The strategy is coded in Pine Script for use on TradingView and uses built-in indicators like the SMA for trend detection. You also have flexible parameters to adjust risk levels, take-profit targets, and stop-loss placements, allowing you to tailor the strategy to different market conditions.
HTF Candle Range Box (Fixed to HTF Bars)### **Higher Timeframe Candle Range Box (HTF Box Indicator)**
This indicator visually highlights the price range of the most recently closed higher-timeframe (HTF) candle, directly on a lower-timeframe chart. It dynamically adjusts based on the user-selected HTF setting (e.g., 15-minute, 1-hour) and ensures that the box is displayed only on the bars that correspond to that specific HTF candle’s duration.
For instance, if a trader is on a **1-minute chart** with the **HTF set to 15 minutes**, the indicator will draw a box spanning exactly 15 one-minute candles, corresponding to the previous 15-minute HTF candle. The box updates only when a new HTF candle completes, ensuring that it does not change mid-formation.
---
### **How It Works:**
1. **Retrieves Higher Timeframe Data**
The script uses TradingView’s `request.security` function to pull **high, low, open, and close** values from the **previously completed HTF candle** (using ` ` to avoid repainting). It also fetches the **high and low of the candle before that** (using ` `) for comparison.
2. **Determines Breakout Behavior**
It compares the **last closed HTF candle** to the **one before it** to determine whether:
- It **broke above** the previous high.
- It **broke below** the previous low.
- It **broke both** the high and low.
- It **stayed within the previous candle’s range** (no breakout).
3. **Classifies the Candle & Assigns Color**
- **Green (Bullish)**
- Closes above the previous candle’s high.
- Breaks below the previous candle’s low but closes back inside the previous range **if it opened above** the previous high.
- **Red (Bearish)**
- Closes below the previous candle’s low.
- Breaks above the previous candle’s high but closes back inside the previous range **if it opened below** the previous low.
- **Orange (Neutral/Indecisive)**
- Stays within the previous candle’s range.
- Breaks both the high and low but closes inside the previous range without a clear bias.
4. **Box Placement on the Lower Timeframe**
- The script tracks the **bar index** where each HTF candle starts on the lower timeframe (e.g., every 15 bars on a 1-minute chart if HTF = 15 minutes).
- It **only displays the box on those bars**, ensuring that the range is accurately reflected for that time period.
- The box **resets and updates** only when a new HTF candle completes.
---
### **Key Features & Advantages:**
✅ **Clear Higher Timeframe Context:**
- The indicator provides a structured way to analyze HTF price action while trading in a lower timeframe.
- It helps traders identify **HTF support and resistance zones**, potential **breakouts**, and **failed breakouts**.
✅ **Fixed Box Display (No Mid-Candle Repainting):**
- The box is drawn **only after the HTF candle closes**, avoiding misleading fluctuations.
- Unlike other indicators that update live, this one ensures the trader is looking at **confirmed data** only.
✅ **Flexible Timeframe Selection:**
- The user can set **any HTF resolution** (e.g., 5min, 15min, 1hr, 4hr), making it adaptable for different strategies.
✅ **Dynamic Color Coding for Quick Analysis:**
- The **color of the box reflects the market sentiment**, making it easier to spot trends, reversals, and fake-outs.
✅ **No Clutter – Only Applies to the Relevant Bars:**
- Instead of spanning across the whole chart, the range box is **only visible on the bars belonging to the last HTF period**, keeping the chart clean and focused.
---
### **Example Use Case:**
💡 Imagine a trader is scalping on the **1-minute chart** but wants to factor in **HTF 15-minute structure** to avoid getting caught in bad trades. With this indicator:
- They can see whether the last **15-minute candle** was bullish, bearish, or indecisive.
- If it was **bullish (green)**, they may look for **buying opportunities** at lower timeframes.
- If it was **bearish (red)**, they might anticipate **a potential pullback or continuation down**.
- If the **HTF candle failed to break out**, they know the market is **ranging**, avoiding unnecessary trades.
---
### **Final Thoughts:**
This indicator is a **powerful addition for traders who combine multiple timeframes** in their analysis. It provides a **clean and structured way to track HTF price movements** without cluttering the chart or requiring constant manual switching between timeframes. Whether used for **intraday trading, swing trading, or scalping**, it adds an extra layer of confirmation for trade entries and exits.
🔹 **Best for traders who:**
- Want **HTF structure awareness while trading lower timeframes**.
- Need **confirmation of breakouts, failed breakouts, or indecision zones**.
- Prefer a **non-repainting tool that only updates after confirmed HTF closes**.

EMA Crossover Strategy with Take Profit and Candle HighlightingStrategy Overview:
This strategy is based on the Exponential Moving Averages (EMA), specifically the EMA 20 and EMA 50. It takes advantage of EMA crossovers to identify potential trend reversals and uses multiple take-profit levels and a stop-loss for risk management.
Key Components:
EMA Crossover Signals:
Buy Signal (Uptrend): A buy signal is generated when the EMA 20 crosses above the EMA 50, signaling the start of a potential uptrend.
Sell Signal (Downtrend): A sell signal is generated when the EMA 20 crosses below the EMA 50, signaling the start of a potential downtrend.
Take Profit Levels:
Once a buy or sell signal is triggered, the strategy calculates multiple take-profit levels based on the range of the previous candle. The user can define multipliers for each take-profit level.
Take Profit 1 (TP1): 50% of the previous candle's range above or below the entry price.
Take Profit 2 (TP2): 100% of the previous candle's range above or below the entry price.
Take Profit 3 (TP3): 150% of the previous candle's range above or below the entry price.
Take Profit 4 (TP4): 200% of the previous candle's range above or below the entry price.
These levels are adjusted dynamically based on the previous candle's high and low, so they adapt to changing market conditions.
Stop Loss:
A stop-loss is set to manage risk. The default stop-loss is 3% from the entry price, but this can be adjusted in the settings. The stop-loss is triggered if the price moves against the position by this amount.
Trend Direction Highlighting:
The strategy highlights the bars (candles) with colors:
Green bars indicate an uptrend (when EMA 20 crosses above EMA 50).
Red bars indicate a downtrend (when EMA 20 crosses below EMA 50).
These visual cues help users easily identify the market direction.
Strategy Entries and Exits:
Entries: The strategy enters a long (buy) position when the EMA 20 crosses above the EMA 50 and a short (sell) position when the EMA 20 crosses below the EMA 50.
Exits: The strategy exits the positions at any of the defined take-profit levels or the stop-loss. Multiple exit levels provide opportunities to take profit progressively as the price moves in the favorable direction.
Entry and Exit Conditions in Detail:
Buy Entry Condition (Uptrend):
A buy position is opened when EMA 20 crosses above EMA 50, signaling the start of an uptrend.
The strategy calculates take-profit levels above the entry price based on the previous bar's range (high-low) and the multipliers for TP1, TP2, TP3, and TP4.
Sell Entry Condition (Downtrend):
A sell position is opened when EMA 20 crosses below EMA 50, signaling the start of a downtrend.
The strategy calculates take-profit levels below the entry price, similarly based on the previous bar's range.
Exit Conditions:
Take Profit: The strategy attempts to exit the position at one of the take-profit levels (TP1, TP2, TP3, or TP4). If the price reaches any of these levels, the position is closed.
Stop Loss: The strategy also has a stop-loss set at a default value (3% below the entry for long trades, and 3% above for short trades). The stop-loss helps to protect the position from significant losses.
Backtesting and Performance Metrics:
The strategy can be backtested using TradingView's Strategy Tester. The results will show how the strategy would have performed historically, including key metrics like:
Net Profit
Max Drawdown
Win Rate
Profit Factor
Average Trade Duration
These performance metrics can help users assess the strategy's effectiveness over historical periods and optimize the input parameters (e.g., multipliers, stop-loss level).
Customization:
The strategy allows for the adjustment of several key input values via the settings panel:
Take Profit Multipliers: Users can customize the multipliers for each take-profit level (TP1, TP2, TP3, TP4).
Stop Loss Percentage: The user can also adjust the stop-loss percentage to a custom value.
EMA Periods: The default periods for the EMA 50 and EMA 20 are fixed, but they can be adjusted for different market conditions.
Pros of the Strategy:
EMA Crossover Strategy: A classic and well-known strategy used by traders to identify the start of new trends.
Multiple Take Profit Levels: By taking profits progressively at different levels, the strategy locks in gains as the price moves in favor of the position.
Clear Trend Identification: The use of green and red bars makes it visually easier to follow the market's direction.
Risk Management: The stop-loss and take-profit features help to manage risk and optimize profit-taking.
Cons of the Strategy:
Lagging Indicators: The strategy relies on EMAs, which are lagging indicators. This means that the strategy might enter trades after the trend has already started, leading to missed opportunities or less-than-ideal entry prices.
No Confirmation Indicators: The strategy purely depends on the crossover of two EMAs and does not use other confirming indicators (e.g., RSI, MACD), which might lead to false signals in volatile markets.
How to Use in Real-Time Trading:
Use for Backtesting: Initially, use this strategy in backtest mode to understand how it would have performed historically with your preferred settings.
Paper Trading: Once comfortable, you can use paper trading to test the strategy in real-time market conditions without risking real money.
Live Trading: After testing and optimizing the strategy, you can consider using it for live trading with proper risk management in place (e.g., starting with a small position size and adjusting parameters as needed).
Summary:
This strategy is designed to identify trend reversals using EMA crossovers, with customizable take-profit levels and a stop-loss to manage risk. It's well-suited for traders looking for a systematic way to enter and exit trades based on clear market signals, while also providing flexibility to adjust for different risk profiles and trading styles.
Lanczos CandlesThis indicator reconstructs price action using Lanczos resampling, incorporating lower timeframe data to create a more detailed representation of market movements. Traditional candle aggregation on higher timeframes tends to lose some price action detail - this indicator attempts to preserve more of that information through mathematical resampling.
The indicator samples price data from a lower timeframe and uses the Lanczos algorithm, a mathematical method commonly used in signal processing and image resampling, to reconstruct the price series at the chart's timeframe. The process helps maintain price movements that might otherwise be smoothed out in regular candle aggregation.
The main settings allow you to select the source timeframe for sampling, adjust the Lanczos filter width to balance smoothness versus detail preservation, and optionally enable Heikin Ashi calculation. The filter width parameter (default: 3) affects how aggressive the smoothing is - higher values produce smoother results while lower values retain more of the original variation.
This approach can be useful for technical analysis when you want to work with higher timeframes while maintaining awareness of significant price movements that occurred within those candles. The optional Heikin Ashi mode can help visualize trends in the resampled data.
The indicator works best when there's a clear ratio between your chart timeframe and the source timeframe (for example, using 1-minute data to build 5-minute candles).
Dynamic Candle StrengthHow It Works
Initialization of Dynamic Levels:
The first candle's high and low are taken as the initial dynamic high and dynamic low levels.
If the next candle's close price is above the dynamic high, the candle is colored green, indicating bullish conditions.
If the next candle's close price is below the dynamic low, the candle is colored black, indicating bearish conditions.
If a candle's high and low crossed both the dynamic high and dynamic low, the dynamic high and low levels are updated to the high and low of that candle, but the candle color will continue with the same color as the previous candle.
Maintaining and Updating Dynamic Levels:
The dynamic high and low are only updated if a candle's close is above the current dynamic high or below the current dynamic low.
If the candle does not close above or below these levels, the dynamic high and low remain unchanged.
Visual Signals:
Green Bars: Indicate that the candle's close is above the dynamic high, suggesting bullish conditions.
Black Bars: Indicate that the candle's close is below the dynamic low, suggesting bearish conditions.
This method ensures that the dynamic high and low levels are adjusted in real-time based on the most recent significant price movements, providing a reliable measure of market sentiment.
Japanese CandlesSimple script to add standard Japanese candles in a new pane for use when using a non-standard chart (Ex: Heikin Ashi) that doesn't use true OHLC values in it's calculation so that you can still monitor true values and activity without having to take up the screen real estate that using a layout containing a whole new chart would require. This also makes horizontal sync of the main chart to the Japanese candle chart perfect at all times.
