Candle Type w/2Up + 2Dn v2.0This script builds on Candle Type w/2Up + 2Dn by incorporating signals for inside + up, outside + up, + rev strat set-ups. All of these can be turned off if they compete w/ other indicators or just clutter up the chart.
Briefly, the script works based on #thestrat developed by Rob Smith and the 1-2-3 bar script coded by @Crinklebine. Candle Type w/2Up + 2Dn is a "fork" of @Crinklebine's excellent indicator. I find the visualization of U-D-I-O (up/dn/inside/outside candles) easier to scan through 100's of charts than 1-2-3's. This is just personal preference, but they work based on the exact same principles. Performance is enhanced with a trend filter like @boardriderb's "TC" script or similar timeframe continuity filters based on the #thestrat developed by Rob Smith. I also prefer an ATR-based trailing stop; Rob recommends pSAR for trailing stops.
Together these indicators form a power system, but users are still responsible for their own trade management, entries & exits, risk profiles, stop loss, etc.
Thestrat
Candle State (The Strat)This script identifies the 2 different Candle States for use in #TheStrat.
Candle Up - The close of the current candle is greater than the close of the previous candle.
Candle Down - The close of the current candle is less than the close of the previous candle.
Though this script is extremely simple it is a teaching aid for #TheStrat.
The script also assists in the identification of up and down candles with gaps where the color of candle will not always match the Candle State.
Analysis of the candle types can help you define actionable signals and draw broadening formations.
