20 EMA Undercut Bounce - M4v3r1ck💎 The "EMA Undercut Bounce" Bullish Scanner
This indicator is designed to identify high-conviction continuation patterns where price makes a temporary dip for liquidity before resuming a powerful, established uptrend. It specifically looks for a bullish rejection off the 20-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
🎯 Strategy Logic
The signal is generated only on the Daily (1D) timeframe when the following five precise conditions are met on the most recent completed bar:
1. Price Action (The Undercut Bounce)
• Undercut: The bar's low price must have touched or temporarily traded below the 20-Day EMA.
• Rejection: The bar's close price must have fully recovered and closed above the 20-Day EMA. This is the classic sign of strong buying pressure defending a key support level.
2. Strong Trend Hierarchy (The Bullish Stack)
The moving averages must be perfectly stacked, confirming a robust multi-timeframe uptrend structure:
• 10-Day EMA > 20-Day EMA
• 20-Day EMA > 50-Day SMA
• 50-Day SMA > 200-Day SMA
3. Momentum Confirmation (The Upward Slope)
Both the 10-Day EMA and the 20-Day EMA must be rising from the previous day. This ensures that the short-term trend momentum is positive, ruling out signals during flat or turning markets.
💡 How to Use This Indicator
1. Timeframe: Ensure your chart is set to the Daily (1D) timeframe for accurate results.
2. Signal: A Green Background highlight and an Up-Arrow below the bar mark a confirmed signal.
3. Alerts: Use the built-in alert condition to set up notifications for stocks on your watchlist, allowing you to catch these high-quality setups without constantly monitoring charts.
This script is ideal for trend-following traders looking to enter a position after a healthy shakeout and confirmation of continued bullish commitment.
London Open High/Low 9:00-9:15indicator marks out high and low of the first 15 minutes of the London session.
Julius Single TrailJulius Single Trail — How it works
This indicator combines a Kalman-like smoothed Donchian midline with an ATR-style volatility buffer to create a single adaptive trailing line that flips with trend. It also recolors candles to reflect regime and visually marks ranging conditions using Bollinger Band width. Optionally, it adds a dotted price line and can hide default candles for a clean, unified look.
Core logic
Donchian midpoint: Calculates the middle of the highest high and lowest low over Donchian Length. This is the directional anchor.
Kalman-like smoothing: Applies a lightweight exponential update to the Donchian midpoint using Alpha, reducing noise while staying responsive.
Volatility buffer: Uses RMA of True Range over Volatility Length multiplied by Volatility Multiplier to form an adaptive offset around the smoothed midline.
Dynamic trail:
Up-trend regime (regime = 1): The trail is kMid - offset and only ratchets upward (math.max), acting like a long stop.
Down-trend regime (regime = -1): The trail is kMid + offset and only ratchets downward (math.min), acting like a short stop.
Flip conditions: Regime flips only when price is on the far side of both the smoothed midpoint and the current trail:
Flip to down when close < kMid and close < dynTrail
Flip to up when close > kMid and close > dynTrail
Candle styling:
Wick color shows immediate price direction (green for bullish, red for bearish).
Body color follows the trail’s regime (Uptrend Color or Downtrend Color).
In ranging conditions, all candle elements turn gray.
Ranging detection:
Computes Bollinger Bands on close with BB Length and BB Multiplier.
Calculates width as a percentage of the basis. If width% (optionally smoothed) is below Range Threshold %, candles are gray to signal consolidation.
What it plots
Dynamic Trail: A single, thick line that changes color by regime:
Uptrend: Uptrend Color (default lime)
Downtrend: Downtrend Color (default red)
Optional Trail Fill to Close: A translucent band between the trail and the close (disabled by default).
Optional Dotted Price Line: A dotted horizontal line at the current price (toggle via Show Dotted Price Line).
Candle treatment:
You can hide default candles (Hide Default Candles), then use a separate custom-candle script for wick/body/border mapping. In this script, default candles can be made fully transparent to let the trail and colors dominate.
Inputs
Donchian Length: Window for the highest/lowest used to form the midline.
Kalman Alpha 0–1: Smoothing factor for the midline. Higher = more responsive, lower = smoother.
Volatility Length: RMA length of True Range for the volatility buffer.
Volatility Multiplier: Scales the buffer around the midline. Higher widens the trail, reducing flips.
Uptrend Color / Downtrend Color: Trail and body color by regime.
Show Cloud To Close: Fills between price and trail using the trail’s color.
Hide Default Candles: Makes the native candles fully transparent.
Show Dotted Price Line / Price Line Color: Toggles and colors the dotted price line.
Ranging parameters:
BB Length (Ranging) and BB Multiplier (Ranging): Bollinger Band settings.
Range Threshold %: If BB width% < threshold, candles turn gray to indicate range.
Use Smoothed Width / Width Smoothing Length: Smooths BB width% before comparison.
Signals and interpretation
Regime shifts:
Bullish flip: When price closes above both the smoothed midpoint and the current trail. Trail switches to the lower band (kMid - offset) and ratchets up.
Bearish flip: When price closes below both the smoothed midpoint and the current trail. Trail switches to the upper band (kMid + offset) and ratchets down.
Trend bias:
Green trail/body: Favor long bias; trail can serve as a dynamic stop.
Red trail/body: Favor short bias; trail can serve as a dynamic stop.
Ranging filter:
Gray candles: Lower-probability trend continuation; consider reducing position sizing, waiting for a breakout, or using mean-reversion tactics.
How to use it
Trend following:
Enter in the direction of the regime when flips occur or on pullbacks that respect the trail.
Use the trail as a stop-loss guide: exit when price closes beyond the trail and the regime flips.
Range awareness:
When candles turn gray, avoid trend entries or switch to range tactics. Wait for color to return and a clean flip.
Tuning suggestions:
Faster, more responsive: Lower Donchian Length, increase Alpha, lower Volatility Length and/or Volatility Multiplier.
Smoother, fewer flips: Increase Donchian Length, decrease Alpha, increase Volatility Length and/or Volatility Multiplier.
Ranging strictness: Increase Range Threshold % to mark ranges more often; smooth the width to avoid choppiness.
Example settings
Swing trading:
Donchian Length: 50
Alpha: 0.25
Vol Length: 14
Vol Mult: 1.6
BB Length: 20, BB Mult: 2.0, Range Threshold %: 2.0, Smoothed width ON (20)
Intraday (more responsive):
Donchian Length: 20–30
Alpha: 0.4–0.6
Vol Length: 10–14
Vol Mult: 1.2–1.6
Range Threshold %: 1.5–2.5 depending on instrument
Alerts (suggested)
Regime flips:
Condition: close > dynTrail and close > kMid -> Alert: Bullish regime
Condition: close < dynTrail and close < kMid -> Alert: Bearish regime
Range state:
Condition: BB width% < threshold -> Alert: Ranging
You can wire these using alertcondition() on the flip conditions and isRange variable inside the script.
Notes and limitations
This is a single-side ratcheting trail per regime, designed to reduce whipsaw by requiring price to clear both the midpoint and the trail before flipping.
Like all trend tools, it can lag tops/bottoms and may chop in low-volatility, sideways markets.
For assets with highly irregular volatility, retune Volatility Multiplier and Range Threshold %.
Short description (for header):
Adaptive, single-line trailing stop based on Kalman-smoothed Donchian mid + ATR-style buffer. Colors candles by regime, grays out ranges via BB width. Optional price line and cloud.
If you want, I can add alertcondition() for the flip and range events and a light custom-candle overlay so you can publish with built-in alert templates and consistent candle styling.

UTS CORE + BOS + CHOCH – RR/TP/SL 📊 Indicator Working Principle
### 🔹 1. BOS (Break of Structure)
* **Definition:** Occurs when the price breaks the previous swing high or swing low level.
* **Interpretation:**
* If the last high is broken upwards → **Bullish BOS** (confirmation of uptrend).
* If the last low is broken downwards → **Bearish BOS** (confirmation of downtrend).
---
### 🔹 2. CHOCH (Change of Character)
* **Definition:** Indicates a trend reversal.
* **Interpretation:**
* In an uptrend, if the last low is broken downwards → **CHOCH↓** (start of downtrend).
* In a downtrend, if the last high is broken upwards → **CHOCH↑** (start of uptrend).
* **Chart:** Blue “CHOCH↑” labels on the chart mark trend reversals.
---
### 🔹 3. FVG (Fair Value Gap)
* **Definition:** A price gap formed between 3 candles.
* **Logic:**
* If the low of one candle stays above the high of the candle two bars back, a gap is created.
* Price tends to return to these gaps to “fill” them.
* **Chart:** The indicator highlights these gaps automatically (green/purple lines).
---
### 🔹 4. Signal Generation (BUY / SELL)
* A valid BOS or CHOCH confirmation + presence of FVG → **signal is triggered.**
* **Rules:**
* Upward break → **BUY signal**
* Downward break → **SELL signal**
* **Chart:** Red “SELL” and green “BUY” labels represent these trade signals.
---
### 🔹 5. RR – TP/SL Management
* When a trade is opened, the indicator automatically calculates **Entry, Stop Loss (SL), and Take Profits (TP1, TP2, TP3).**
* **Risk/Reward ratios:**
* TP1 = 1R
* TP2 = 2R
* TP3 = 3R
* If TP1 is hit and “Breakeven” option is enabled → SL moves to entry (risk-free trade).
---
👉 In short: this indicator tracks **market structure (BOS/CHOCH)**, detects **imbalances (FVG)**, and combines them with **risk/reward management (TP/SL)** to give you a ready-made trade
First X Days Of A YearFirst X-Day Indicator
Overview
The "First X-Day Indicator" is a powerful tool to visualize and analyze market sentiment during the crucial first trading days of each new year. It provides immediate visual feedback on whether the year is starting with positive or negative momentum compared to the previous year's close, a concept often related to market theories like the "January Effect" or the "First Five Days Rule."
The indicator is designed to be clean, intuitive, and fully customizable to fit your charting style.
Key Features
Yearly Baseline: Automatically draws a horizontal line at the previous year's closing price. This line serves as a clear 0% reference for the current year's performance.
Dynamic Background Coloring: For a user-defined number of days at the start of the year, the chart background is colored daily. Green indicates the close is above the previous year's close, while red indicates it's below.
Final Performance Symbol: At the end of the analysis period (e.g., on the 5th day), a single summary symbol (like 👍 or 👎) appears. This symbol represents the final performance outcome of the initial trading period.
Settings & Customization
You have full control over all visual elements:
Analysis Period: Define exactly how many days at the start of the year you want to analyze (e.g., 3, 5, or 10 days).
Line Customization: Fully control the yearly baseline's appearance. You can change its color, width, and style (Solid, Dashed, or Dotted) or hide it completely.
Symbol Customization: Choose any character or emoji for the positive and negative performance symbols. You can also adjust their size (Small, Normal, Large) or hide them.
Background Control: Enable or disable the daily background coloring and select your preferred custom colors for positive and negative days.

Previous session High/Low – Asia London USA Overview
This indicator automatically plots the Previous Day’s (PD) session Highs and Lows for the Asia (Tokyo), London, and USA (New York) trading sessions.
Each session is color-coded for clarity:
🟩 Asia (Green)
🟥 London (Red)
🟦 USA (Blue)
At the close of each session, the indicator records that session’s high and low, draws horizontal lines across the chart, and labels them neatly in the center of each range — above the high and below the low for perfect visual balance.
⚙️ How It Works
The script continuously tracks the current high and low within each session.
When a session closes, those values are locked in as the PD High and PD Low.
Clean lines and centered labels are drawn immediately.
The labels automatically offset slightly above or below the line to avoid overlap, with user-controlled spacing.
This helps traders quickly identify where price interacts with the previous session’s structure, a core concept for many session-based and liquidity-based strategies.
🧭 Sessions and Timezones
Each market session runs in its native timezone, so you can align them perfectly to your chart or your preferred trading hours:
Asia Session: Default 08:30 – 11:00 (Australia/Adelaide time)
London Session: Default 08:00 – 10:00 (Europe/London)
USA Session: Default 09:30 – 16:00 (America/New_York)
You can change each session’s hours and timezone from the Inputs panel.
🎨 Customization
In the Inputs menu you can:
Toggle each session on or off
Choose line color and thickness
Enable or disable labels
Adjust vertical offset (ticks) for label spacing
“High label offset” – moves label further above the high line
“Low label offset” – moves label further below the low line
These adjustments make it easy to keep charts clean and readable on any instrument or timeframe.
📈 Practical Use
This indicator is ideal for:
Session traders who mark PD Highs/Lows as liquidity zones
London or NY session scalpers who watch for breakouts, fakeouts, or reversals
ICT / Smart Money Concepts users wanting automatic session reference levels
Anyone wanting a quick visual map of inter-session structure
Aynet- True Wick Projector for Non-Standard ChartsTechnical Explanation: "Data Projection and Synchronization"
This script is, at its core, a "data projection" tool. The fundamental technical problem it solves is compensating for the information loss that occurs when using different data visualization models.
1. The Core Problem: Information Loss
Standard Charts (Time-Based): Normal candlesticks are time-based. Each candle represents a fixed time interval (like 1 hour or 1 day) and displays the complete Open, High, Low, and Close (OHLC) data for that period. The "wicks" show the volatility and the extreme price points (the High and Low).
Non-Standard Charts (Price/Momentum-Based): Charts like Kagi, Renko, or Line Break filter out time. Their only concern is price movement. While one Renko box or Kagi line is forming, 10 or more time-based candles might have formed in the background. During this "noise filtering" process, the true high and low values (the wicks) from those underlying candles are lost.
The problem is this: A trader looking at a non-standard chart cannot see how high or low the price actually went while that block or line was forming. This is a critical loss of information regarding market volatility, support/resistance levels, and price rejection.
2. The Technical Solution: A "Dual Data Stream"
This script intelligently combines two different data streams to compensate for this information loss:
Main Stream (Current Chart): The open and close data from your active Kagi, Renko, etc., chart.
Secondary Stream (Projected Data): The high and low data from the underlying standard (time-based) chart.
3. The Code's Methodical Steps
Step 1: Identifying the Data Source (syminfo...)
This step precisely identifies the source for the secondary data stream. By using syminfo.prefix + ":" + syminfo.ticker (e.g., "NASDAQ:AAPL"), it guarantees that the data is pulled from the exact correct instrument and exchange.
Step 2: Data Request & "Lookahead" Synchronization (request.security)
This is the most critical part of the operation.
request.security(...): This is the function Pine Script uses to pull data from another dataset (the secondary stream) onto the current chart.
: This tells the function, "The only data I care about is the 'High' and 'Low' of the standard candle from that timeframe."
lookahead = barmerge.lookahead_on (The Critical Key): This command solves the "time paradox."
Normally (without this): request.security fetches data from the last completed bar. But as your Kagi bar is currently forming, the standard candle is also currently forming. This would cause the data to always be one bar behind (lag).
With lookahead_on: This permits the script to "look ahead" at the data from the currently forming, incomplete standard bar. Because of this, as your Kagi bar moves, the true wick data is updated in real-time. This achieves real-time synchronization.
Step 3: Visual Engineering (plotcandle)
After the script retrieves the data, it must "draw" it. However, it only wants to draw the wicks, not the candle bodies.
bodyTop and bodyBottom: First, it finds the top and bottom of the current Kagi bar's body (using math.max(open, close)).
Plotting the Upper Wick (Green):
It calls the plotcandle function and instructs it to draw a fake candle.
It fixes this fake candle's Open, Low, and Close (open, low, close) values to the top of the Kagi bar's body (bodyTop).
It only sets the High (high) value to the realHigh it fetched with request.security.
The result: A wick is drawn from the bodyTop level up to the realHigh level, with no visible body.
Plotting the Lower Wick (Red):
It applies the reverse logic.
It fixes the fake candle's Open, High, and Close values to the bottom of the Kagi bar's body (bodyBottom).
It only sets the Low (low) value to the realLow.
The result: A lower wick is drawn from bodyBottom down to realLow.
Invisibility (color.new(color.white, 100)):
In both plotcandle calls, the color (body color) and bordercolor are set to 100 transparency. This makes the "fake" candle bodies completely invisible, leaving only the colored wicks.
Conclusion (Technical Summary)
This script reclaims the volatility data (the wicks) that is naturally sacrificed by non-standard charts.
It achieves this with technical precision by creating a secondary data stream using request.security and synchronizing it with zero lag using the lookahead_on parameter.
Finally, it intelligently manipulates the plotcandle function (by creating invisible bodies) to project this lost data onto your Kagi/Renko chart as an "augmented reality" layer. This allows a trader to benefit from the clean, noise-filtered view of a non-standard chart without losing access to the full picture of market volatility.

Heiken Ashi Trend w/vol Signals**Heiken Ashi Trend Signals**
⚠️ **DISCLAIMER: Trading involves extreme risk. This is for educational purposes only.**
**What This Indicator Does:**
This indicator identifies potential entry and exit points for trending moves by analyzing Heiken Ashi candle patterns combined with moving average confirmation and trend visualization. It provides visual signals based on specific candle characteristics and momentum shifts, along with volume. This can help spot reversals, pullback/continuations, take profit signals, and other trading opportunities.
**IMPORTANT:** It is recommended to use along with Heiken Ashi style candles, but the signals will still plot on other chart types. It's important to know it's always using Heiken Ashi calculations regardless of which chart style you prefer. Intended to use with Weekly/Daily chart, Daily/4hr chart, or 4hr/1hr chart combinations.
**Turn off all sell signals to reduce clutter if you're trading Longs
**Alert Functionality:**
Choose which signals matter most to your trading strategy or which entry you're waiting for on a specific chart. Set up individual alerts for:
- Long Entry - Get notified when bullish signal criteria are met
- Long Entry High Volume - Get notified only when bullish signals occur with above average volume
- Exit Long - Know when long exit conditions trigger
- Short Entry - Catch bearish signal opportunities
- Short Entry High Volume - Get notified only when bearish signals occur with above average volume.
- Exit Short - Exit alerts for short positions
Monitor opportunities across multiple symbols without watching charts constantly. Each alert type can be enabled or disabled independently based on your specific setup. They can also be added to entire watchlists at once, depending on the TV plan you have.
**Key Features:**
📢 Flexible Alert System: Select only the signal types you want to be notified about - perfect for traders who focus exclusively on longs, shorts, or both
🟢 Long Entry Signals: Identifies strong bullish candles (no lower wick) that close above both EMAs with recent "red bar" in the previous 4 bars
🔴 Short Entry Signals: Identifies strong bearish candles (no upper wick) that close below both EMAs with recent "green bar" in the previous 4 bars
🚪 Exit Signals: Flags when opposing candle color appears (orange X for long exits, purple X for short exits) - this can be a take profit, stop loss adjustment, etc., depending on your target or other confluence such as support/resistance, 200 SMA, etc.
📊 Volume Confirmation: Small colored circles appear on signal bars to indicate volume strength (green = above average, yellow = below average)**
☁️ Dynamic EMA Cloud: Visual trend indicator based on EMA alignment
📊 Customizable Moving Averages: Two EMAs (default 8 & 30) and two SMAs (default 50 & 200), all fully adjustable
🎨 Full Customization: All colors, transparencies, and line weights are adjustable in the Style tab
**Understanding Heiken Ashi Candles:**
Regular candlesticks display raw price action, including every minor fluctuation and moment of indecision. Heiken Ashi candles take a different approach - they average price data from the current and previous periods, creating a smoothed representation of price movement.
Think of it like this: if regular candles show every ripple in the ocean, Heiken Ashi candles are the overall movement of the ocean.
This smoothing process filters out market noise and makes genuine trend changes easier to identify.
**Benefits of Using Heiken Ashi:**
✅ Clearer Trend Visualization - Sustained color runs indicate strong trends
✅ Reduced Noise - Smoothing removes choppy, indecisive price action
✅ Momentum Identification - Helps spot potential shifts in market direction
✅ Easier to Read - Less cognitive load analyzing price action
**Moving Averages & Trend Context:**
The indicator includes a comprehensive moving average system to provide trend context:
**Simple Moving Averages:**
- SMA 1 (default 50) - Intermediate trend reference
- SMA 2 (default 200) - Long-term trend reference
- Both lengths are fully customizable
- Toggle on/off independently
- Use for additional support/resistance context and confluence
**Volume Confirmation:**
The indicator includes volume analysis to help assess signal stength:
- Green circle = strong volume
- Orange circle = weak volume
**High volume alerts available** - set alerts specifically for signals that occur with strong volume
**Why This Matters:**
- Breakouts with high volume tend to be more reliable
- Low volume signals may indicate weak participation or false moves
- Allows you to prioritize high-conviction setups
- Can filter out low-volume signals entirely using the "High Volume" alert options
**Benefits of This Approach:**
✅ Additional Confirmation - Requires breaking through resistance/support
✅ Filtered Signals - Reduces signals on weak bounces
✅ Quality Focus - Fewer but more structured setups
✅ Clear Criteria - Objective rules for signal generation
**Using This Indicator in Confluence:**
This indicator is designed to be one component of a comprehensive trading strategy. Always use it in conjunction with other analysis methods:
**Potential Confluence Factors:**
✅ Volume Confirmation - Higher volume breakouts are typically more reliable
✅ Longer-Term Moving Averages (50ma & 200ma), Support & Resistance, Fibonacci levels, etc
✅ Market Structure - Identify higher highs/lows (uptrend) or lower highs/lows (downtrend)
✅ Time Frame Alignment - Confirm signals on your trading timeframe align with higher timeframe trends
**Important Considerations:**
This indicator provides signals based on mathematical criteria, but does not guarantee trading success. All trading involves risk, and you should:
- Never rely on a single indicator for trading decisions
- Always do your own analysis and due diligence
- Use proper risk management and position sizing
- Practice on paper/demo accounts
- Understand that past performance does not indicate future results
**What Makes This Indicator Useful:**
This indicator combines multiple confirmation factors:
- No bottom wick (for longs) = buyers controlled the entire session, no lower rejection
- No top wick (for shorts) = sellers controlled the entire session, no upper rejection
- Volume confirmation = visual indicator of participation strength
- Visual trend context = cloud color shows EMA alignment at a glance
**Best Used For:**
- Swing trading on daily/weekly timeframes. Some prefer to enter on 4hr confirmation.
- Identifying potential trend changes for further analysis
- Visual confirmation of EMA alignment and trend structure
- Combining with volume, support/resistance, and other technical factors
- Filtering for high-probability setups with volume confirmation
- Systematic, rules-based approach to reduce emotional decisions
- Spotting reversals, pullbacks/continuations, and take profit opportunities
All visual elements are fully customizable to match your charting preferences while maintaining the core signal logic.
**Educational Tool:**
This indicator is intended as an educational and analytical tool to help traders identify potential setups based on specific technical criteria. It should be used as part of a broader trading education and strategy development process, not as standalone trading advice.

X rVPoCOverview
The rVPoC indicator isolates and displays the Volume Point of Control — the price level within a chosen lookback window that has accumulated the highest traded volume.
Unlike typical volume profiles that analyze an entire session or day, this version is designed for rolling intraday precision. It continually updates the VPoC using data from a lower “zoomed-in” timeframe (e.g., 1-minute) to refine accuracy, even when viewed on higher-timeframe charts.
How It Works
At its core, the indicator “zooms in” via Pine Script’s multi-timeframe engine:
Lower timeframe aggregation:
A secondary (zoomed) timeframe — by default 1-minute — is used to pull detailed OHLCV data through request.security().
Rolling window analysis:
The user-defined bars_per_current parameter determines how many of those lower-timeframe bars to include (e.g., 15 → a 15-minute rolling window).
Volume binning:
The high-to-low range of that window is divided into evenly spaced price bins (vp_price_levels). Each bin accumulates the volume of trades overlapping its range.
Point of Control selection:
The bin with the greatest accumulated volume is located, and its volume-weighted midpoint is plotted as the VPoC.
Visual output:
Discrete line-break markers are plotted for each bar, preventing the “connecting line” distortions common in continuous plots.
Use Case
This indicator is ideal for intraday traders who want to:
Track how the most active traded price shifts over time.
Identify short-term value zones forming within a 15-minute (or custom) rolling range.
Observe micro-structure behavior during developing sessions without committing to full volume profile tools.
Overlay a lightweight VPoC on top of other tools such as open-range or VWAP-based frameworks.
It is particularly effective on 1-minute and 5-minute charts, providing a granular yet efficient measure of volume concentration that updates bar-by-bar.
Summary
The VPoC indicator delivers a continuously updating micro-profile of where trading volume is most active within a chosen intraday window.
It’s designed to complement range, VWAP, and order-flow analysis by highlighting evolving value zones without visual clutter or session-anchoring logic.
Traders can interpret shifts in the VPoC as changes in short-term control — where buyers or sellers are concentrating their activity within the evolving price structure.
[LTS] Marubozu Candle StrategyOVERVIEW
The Marubozu Candle Strategy identifies and trades wickless candles (Marubozu patterns) with dynamic take-profit and stop-loss levels based on market volatility. This indicator combines traditional Japanese candlestick pattern recognition with modern volatility-adjusted risk management and includes a comprehensive performance tracking dashboard.
A Marubozu candle is a powerful continuation pattern characterized by the complete absence of wicks on one side, indicating strong directional momentum. This strategy specifically detects:
- Bullish Marubozu: Close > Open AND Low = Open (no lower wick)
- Bearish Marubozu: Close < Open AND High = Open (no upper wick)
When price returns to test these levels, the indicator generates trading signals with predefined risk-reward parameters.
CORE METHODOLOGY
Detection Logic:
The script scans each bar for Marubozu formations using precise price comparisons. When a wickless candle appears, a horizontal line extends from the opening price, marking it as a potential support (bullish) or resistance (bearish) level. These levels remain active until price touches them or until the maximum line limit is reached.
EMA Filter (Optional):
An exponential moving average filter enhances signal quality by requiring proper trend alignment. For bullish signals, price must be above the EMA when touching the level. For bearish signals, price must be below the EMA. This filter reduces counter-trend trades and improves win rates in trending markets. Users can disable this filter for range-bound conditions.
Dynamic Risk Management:
The strategy employs ATR-based (Average True Range) position sizing rather than fixed point values. This approach adapts to market volatility automatically:
- In low volatility: Tighter stops and targets
- In high volatility: Wider stops and targets proportional to market movement
Default settings use a 2:1 reward-to-risk ratio (1x ATR for take-profit, 0.5x ATR for stop-loss), but users can adjust these multipliers to match their trading style.
HOW IT WORKS
Step 1 - Pattern Detection:
On each bar, the indicator evaluates whether the candle qualifies as a Marubozu by comparing the high, low, open, and close prices. When detected, the opening price becomes the key level.
Step 2 - Level Management:
Horizontal lines extend from each Marubozu's opening price. The indicator maintains two separate arrays: one for unbroken levels (actively extending) and one for broken levels (historical reference). Users can configure how many of each type to display, preventing chart clutter while maintaining relevant context.
Step 3 - Signal Generation:
When price returns to touch a Marubozu level, the indicator evaluates the EMA filter condition. If the filter passes (or is disabled), the script draws TP/SL boxes showing the expected profit and loss zones based on current ATR values.
Step 4 - Trade Tracking:
Each valid signal enters the tracking system, which monitors subsequent price action to determine outcomes. The script identifies whether the take-profit or stop-loss was hit first (discarding trades where both trigger on the same candle to avoid ambiguous results).
PERFORMANCE DASHBOARD
The integrated dashboard provides real-time strategy analytics to automatically convert results to dollar values for any instrument:
Tracked Metrics:
- Total Trades: Complete count of closed positions
- Wins/Losses: Individual counts with color coding
- Win Rate: Success percentage with dynamic color (green >= 50%, red < 50%)
- Total P&L: Cumulative profit/loss in dollars
- Avg Win: Mean dollar amount per winning trade
- Avg Loss: Mean dollar amount per losing trade
NOTE: The dollar values shown in the dashboard are for trading only a single share/contract/etc. You will need to manually multiply those numbers by the amount of shares/contracts you are trading to get a true value.
The dollar conversion works automatically across all markets:
- Futures contracts (ES, NQ, CL, etc.) use their contract specifications
- Forex pairs use standard lot calculations
- Stocks and crypto use their respective point values
This eliminates manual calculation and provides immediate performance feedback in meaningful currency terms.

HOW TO USE
1. Add the indicator to your chart
2. Adjust ATR multipliers based on your risk tolerance (higher values = more conservative)
3. Configure the EMA filter based on market conditions (enable for trending, disable for ranging)
4. Set line limits to match your visual preference and chart timeframe
5. Monitor the dashboard to track strategy performance in real-time
6. Use the TP/SL boxes as reference levels for manual trades or automation
Best Practices:
- Enable EMA filter in strongly trending markets
- Disable EMA filter if you want more trade signals but at lower quality
- Increase ATR multipliers in highly volatile markets
- Decrease ATR multipliers for tighter, more frequent trades
- Review avg win/loss ratio to ensure positive expectancy

jjjjjjjjExplanation of the Script
Bullish and Bearish Candles: The function isBullishOrderBlock() checks if a candle is "bullish" in nature (based on body size to range ratio). Similarly, isBearishOrderBlock() checks for bearish candles.
Order Block Length and Threshold: length is the number of bars to scan for an order block, and threshold sets how strong a candle needs to be to be considered an order block.
Detection: The loop searches backward through the bars to find strong bullish and bearish order blocks, marking the price points where the strong moves happened.
Plotting: The plotshape() function is used to plot arrows or labels on the chart to mark where bullish or bearish order blocks are identified.
Improving and Customizing
Highlighting Blocks: Instead of just marking a point, you can plot horizontal boxes or shaded regions using box.new() to visually highlight the order block zone.
Use of Different Timeframes: You can modify the script to look for order blocks across multiple timeframes to increase accuracy.
Complex Rules: Depending on your strategy, you may want to add additional rules, such as looking for price to return to the order block area before confirming the strength of the block.
