shadow bar

2023年5月13日

This indicator shows a new formation of retrospective candlestick bars of one period (n) of time.
In this way the trader can see how the traditional bars are part of a larger formation that can show a trend or a range.
The new shadow bars are drawn with a degree of transparency that makes it possible to distinguish traditional candlesticks;
and where shadow candles can be seen as support or resistance to traditional candlesticks.
When the traditional candlesticks are the same size as the shadow candlesticks, it can be expected that we are forming a compression or range that will result in a strong move.
In addition to the shadow bars, there is a ribbon created from the new candlestick data that is formed as a line from the linear regression function and another that is the previous line smoothed by its exponential moving average. This tape allows you to see the trend more clearly and at the crossovers of the lines that form possible reversals or continuations of the trend. The indicator has the timeframe field active, which allows the indicator to be displayed in other temporalities.

*The closing price of the new bars is the same as that of the traditional bars.
* The tape is turned off by defa

In this new version the extreme lines are included, which correspond to the maximum and minimum only of the type of bar formation (f3).
From these extreme lines, 2 new lines are calculated based on the golden ratio (0.618 and 0.382); In addition to this, the midline or 0.5 is included.
These lines and the extremes show levels with a probability of reversal or continuation of a price trend. In many cases the price moves in a range within the golden lines.

The number of bars looked back must be adjusted with respect to each temporality and the analyzed asset; This is the responsibility of the trader to make a proper analysis.

In addition to this, bugs in the code have been fixed and more options have been added to the input menu.
