ICT HTF Candles [Source Code] (fadi)Plotting a configurable higher timeframe on current chart's timeframe helps visualize price movement without changing timeframes. It also plots FVG and Volume Imbalance on the higher timeframe for easier visualization.
With ICT concepts, we usually wait for HTF break of structure and then find an entry on a lower timeframe. With this indicator, we can set it to the HTF and watch the develop of price action until the break of structure happens. We can then take an entry on the current timeframe.

LTF Candle Insights (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The LTF Candle Insights indicator allows traders to explore the finer details of the market by integrating lower time frame (LTF) data into their current chart, offering a more detailed and nuanced view of price movements. This comprehensive visual tool is crucial for traders who want to investigate complex market trends without the constant need to switch between different chart timeframes.
In essence, this indicator overlays the smaller details into the broader frame, enabling traders to grasp the fine points while examining the larger market picture.
█ How It Works
The LTF Candle Insights indicator easily puts LTF candles onto the current chart, allowing traders to see both the current timeframe and the chosen lower timeframe candles at the same time. This dual view helps traders see the main market trends and important price levels, helping them get a better understanding of the little details and complexities of the market.
█ How to Use
Trend Analysis
Traders can use this indicator to look closely at smaller market trends by comparing LTF candles with the candles of the current timeframe. Knowing the trends in LTF helps traders make trades that go along with the small market movements.
Support and Resistance Identification
By looking at the high, low, and middle levels of LTF candles, traders can find possible support and resistance areas. This detailed look helps traders pick the best times to enter or exit trades, set up stop-losses effectively, and manage risk carefully.
█ Settings
Lower Timeframe and Candle Amount
Users can determine the lower timeframe and the number of LTF candles they wish to observe on their current chart.
Range Lines
The high/low range of the illustrated candles and the optional mid-range line can be displayed, granting insights into significant price levels and ranges.
Table Display
A summary table can be displayed, outlining details of the current chart's timeframe and the chosen LTF, providing a succinct overview for traders.

Candle Range - Monthly - Open/High/Low/Close/Wicks (Oldinvestor)This candle range comparison is similar to my original script Candle Range Compare .
This script is to compares the size of open/close high/low and wick size side by side. This version of the script allows you to only show a chosen month of each year to compare. I hadn't even thought to try and vanish the part of the chart I'm not looking at. I'll consider that later (may never happen, I am limited on time).
I have also included check boxes to turn on/off certain candles. This part is pretty self explanatory. For example: if you wish to not see wicks in front of the open/close, go to the settings for the study and uncheck the box for "Show Wicks".
Warning: The script does not work so well on monthly candles? Some of the candles are missing...
Good luck

Relative Candle Volatility IndexI am not certain if something similar is already available out there. However, here's my own implementation of my simple idea of using the length of the candle-body, or wicks (high-low), to derive a Relative Volatility Index / Oscillator.
In summary: When the R.CVI is significantly positive, it indicates a sudden increase in volatility; whereas, when the R.CVI drops significantly negative, it indicates a sudden decrease in volatility -- in relative to the (just prior) market trend.

Momentum Candle V3 by Sekolah TradingMomentum Candle v3 by Sekolah Trading
Description:
Momentum Candle v3 is a technical indicator designed to identify market momentum signals based on price movement within a single candle. The indicator measures the size of the candle's body and wick to determine if the market is showing strong bullish or bearish momentum.
Key Features:
Candle Size: Measures price movement within a single candle to assess market momentum.
Short Wick: Focuses on wick length, with short wicks indicating that the closing price is more significant than the opening price.
Bullish/Bearish Momentum: Provides bullish signals when the closing price is higher than the open, and bearish signals when the closing price is lower than the open.
Customizable Minimum Body: Users can adjust the minimum body size for XAUUSD and USDJPY pairs according to their trading preferences.
Timeframe: Works on M5 and M15 timeframes for XAUUSD and USDJPY currency pairs.
How to Use:
Bullish Signal: The indicator signals bullish momentum when the candle body is sufficiently large and the wick is short, with the closing price higher than the open.
Bearish Signal: The indicator signals bearish momentum when the candle body is sufficiently large and the wick is short, with the closing price lower than the open.
Pip Parameters: Adjust the pip values for XAUUSD and USDJPY according to market conditions or your trading preferences.
Note: This indicator is a tool for technical analysis and does not guarantee specific trading results. It is recommended to use it alongside other strategies and analyses for better accuracy.
Realistic Backtest Results:
To ensure transparency and honesty in the backtest, here are some key factors to consider:
Position Size: The backtest uses a realistic position size of about 5-10% of the account equity per trade.
Commission & Slippage: A commission of 0.1% per trade and slippage of 1 pip were used in the backtest simulation to reflect real market conditions.
Number of Trades: The backtest sample includes more than 100 trades for a representative result.
Example of Backtest Results:
Profitability: The backtest results on XAUUSD and USDJPY show consistent performance with this strategy on the M5 and M15 timeframes.
Commission and Slippage: Adjusting for commission and slippage showed better accuracy under more realistic market scenarios.
How to Use the Indicator:
Signals from this indicator can be used to confirm market momentum in trending conditions. However, it is highly recommended to combine this indicator with other technical analysis tools to minimize the risk of false signals.
Important Notes:
Honesty & Transparency: This indicator is designed to provide signals based on technical analysis and does not guarantee specific trading results.
No Over-Claims: The backtest results displayed represent realistic scenarios and are not intended to promise certain profits.
Original Content: The code for this indicator is original and does not violate any copyrights.
Tagging:
Smart Tags: Momentum, Candle, XAUUSD, USDJPY, Bullish, Bearish, M5, M15, Technical Indicator, Market Momentum.
HTF Candles & Levels Visualizer - SRHTF Candles & Levels Visualizer is a clean higher‑timeframe visualization tool designed to complement any trading strategy by giving clear context of larger‑TF structure directly on your current chart. It plots the previous high and low for up to three user‑selectable timeframes, and draws them as extended levels with optional labels, making it easy to see where current price sits relative to key higher‑timeframe zones.
The script also renders compact proxy candles for each selected timeframe to the right of current price, so you can visually track HTF candle development without switching charts. Each HTF slot has independent settings: timeframe, color, number of displayed candles, and visibility toggles, along with global controls for line style, label size, candle spacing, and colors.
This tool does not generate trading signals; it focuses purely on multi‑timeframe context and market structure visualization to support your own entries, exits, and risk management.
(CRT) MTF Candle Range Theory Model# 🚀 **CASH Pro MTF – Candle Range Theory (CRT) Indicator**
**The Smart Money ICT Setup Detector** 🔥
Hey Traders!
Here is the **ultimate Pine Script indicator** that automatically detects one of the most powerful Smart Money / ICT setups: **Candle Range Theory (CRT)**
---
### What is Candle Range Theory – CRT?
**CRT** is a high-probability price action model based on **liquidity grabs** and **range expansion**.
Price loves to:
1️⃣ Raid the low/high of the previous candle (take stop-losses)
2️⃣ Then reverse and run to the opposite side of the range (or beyond)
When this happens near a **key higher-timeframe level**, magic happens!
### Bullish CRT Model
- Price touches a **strong HTF support**
- Previous candle closes near that support
- Next candle **sweeps the low** (grabs liquidity)
- Current candle **closes above the raided low AND breaks the high** of the sweep candle
**Result → Aggressive bullish move expected!**
**Entry:** On close above the high (or on retest + MSS)
**Stop Loss:** Below the swept low
**Take Profit:** CRT High or next liquidity pool
### Bearish CRT Model
- Price touches a **strong HTF resistance**
- Previous candle closes near resistance
- Next candle **sweeps the high** (grabs buy stops)
- Current candle **closes below the raided high AND breaks the low** of the sweep candle
**Result → Strong bearish expansion!**
**Entry:** On close below the low
**Stop Loss:** Above the swept high
**Take Profit:** CRT Low or next downside liquidity
This whole setup can form in **just 3 candles**… or sometimes more if price consolidates after the sweep.
---

XenoSmooth Predictive Candles - Advanced Heikin Ashi CandlesXenoSmooth Predictive Candles
Summary in one paragraph
A synthetic candle engine for crypto, FX, equities, and futures on intraday to swing timeframes. It reduces noise and flip delay so structure is easier to read. The core novelty is a predictive open with inertia plus slope lead fused with a zero lag body filter and an overshoot based wick model normalized by the real range and capped by ATR. Add it to a clean chart, hide regular candles if desired, and tune lengths. Shapes can move while the bar is open and settle on close. For conservative workflows read on bar close.
Scope and intent
• Markets. Major FX pairs, index futures, large cap equities, liquid crypto
• Timeframes. One minute to daily
• Purpose. Faster and smoother visual structure than Heikin Ashi while keeping causality and realistic wicks
Originality and usefulness
• Unique concept. Predictive open with inertia and slope lead plus selectable zero lag body filter and ATR capped wick overshoot in percent of real range
• Failure mode addressed. Late flips in chop and unreal long wicks from raw extremes
• Testability. Every control is an input. Users can toggle body method, lengths, clipping, and percent modeling
• Portable yardstick. ATR based wick cap and percent of bar range scale across symbols
Method overview in plain language
Build a robust base price from O, H, L, and extra weight on Close. Smooth it with a chosen filter to produce the synthetic close. Drive a predictive open that follows the synthetic close with tunable inertia and a small lead from the last bar slope. Model wicks as the portion of the real extremes that extends beyond the synthetic body, smooth that overshoot, normalize by the bar range if selected, then cap by ATR to avoid tail spikes. Clamp synthetic values to the real high and low if enabled.
Base measures
• Range basis. True Range for the ATR cap and High minus Low for percent normalization
• Return basis. Not used
Components
• Body Base Blend. Weighted O H L with a close bias to stabilize the base
• Zero Lag Body Filter. ZLEMA or Super Smoother or WMA to set the synthetic close
• Predictive Open. Inertial follow of the synthetic close plus a slope lead term
• Wick Overshoot Model. Smoothed extension beyond the body, optional percent of real range, ATR cap
• Clamp Option. Keeps synthetic open and close inside the real bar range
Fusion rule
• Synthetic close equals filtered base
• Synthetic open equals previous open plus inertia times distance to synthetic close plus slope lead
• Wicks equal smoothed overshoot above and below the body, optionally percent of range then converted back to price and capped by ATR
Inputs with guidance
Setup
• Signal timeframe. Uses the chart timeframe
• Invert direction. Not applicable
• Session windows. Not applicable
Logic
• Body length. Core smoothing length for the synthetic close. Typical 6 to 14. Higher gives smoother and slower. Lower gives faster flips
• Body method. ZLEMA or Super Smoother or WMA. ZLEMA is fastest. Super Smoother is calmest
• Close weight in base. 0 to 1. Higher gives stronger emphasis on close and less noise
• Open inertia. 0 to 1. Higher makes the open follow the close more tightly
• Lead gain. 0 to 1. Higher adds more phase lead. Keep modest to avoid overshoot
• Clamp body to real range. On keeps synthetic body inside high and low
• Wick smooth length. Typical 4 to 10. Higher reduces jitter
• Overshoot as percent. On stabilizes wicks across regimes
• ATR length. Typical 10 to 20 for the cap
• Max wick equals ATR times. 0 disables. 1.0 to 2.0 contains extreme tails
Filters
• Efficiency or trend filter. Not used
• Micro versus macro range relation. Not used
• Location filter. Not used
Realism and responsible publication
• No performance claims
• Intrabar motion reminder. Shapes can move while a bar forms and settle on close
• Strategies must use standard candles for signals and orders
Honest limitations and failure modes
• High impact releases and thin liquidity can distort wicks and produce gaps that any smoother cannot predict
• Very quiet regimes can reduce contrast. Consider longer body length
• Session time on the chart controls the definition of each bar
Volume Biased CandlesVolume Biased Candles
This indicator visualizes the underlying volume polarity of price action by coloring candles based on directional volume bias over a rolling bucket of bars.
Instead of reading price alone, each candle reflects whether buying or selling pressure has dominated within its recent volume structure — giving a more intuitive picture of volume sentiment beneath price movement.
🔹 How it works
Bucket Size (n) → defines how many candles are aggregated to evaluate directional volume bias
For each bucket, total up-volume and down-volume are compared to determine overall market pressure
Volume Bias Score → a continuous ratio from -1 to +1, representing the relative dominance of buyers or sellers
Candles are colored according to the active bias — green for positive (buying), red for negative (selling)
🔹 Use cases
Visualize shifts in market control without needing divergence overlays
Combine with delta divergence or price structure tools to validate entries and exits
Simplify volume and price insights into an intuitive, single-chart visualization
✨ Volume Biased Candles transforms standard candles into a live sentiment gauge, revealing whether the dominant flow behind price movement is bullish or bearish.
Apex Edge – HTF Overlay Candles“Trade your 5m chart with the eyes of the 1H — Apex Edge brings higher-timeframe structure and liquidity sweeps directly onto your execution chart.”
Apex Edge – HTF Overlay Candles
The Apex Edge – HTF Overlay Candles indicator overlays higher-timeframe (HTF) candles directly onto your lower-timeframe chart. Instead of flipping between timeframes, you see HTF structure “breathe” live on your execution chart.
What It Does
• HTF Body Boxes → open/close zones drawn as semi-transparent rectangles.
• HTF Wick Boxes → high/low extremes projected as envelopes around each body.
• Midpoint Line → a dynamic equilibrium line that flips bias as price trades above or below.
• Sweep Arrows → one-time markers showing the first liquidity raid at HTF highs or lows.
Under the Hood
This isn’t just a visual overlay — it’s engineered for accuracy and performance in PineScript.
1. HTF Data Retrieval
• Uses request.security() to import open, high, low, close, time from any selected HTF.
• lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off ensures OHLC values update bar by bar as the HTF
candle builds.
• When the HTF bar closes, boxes and midpoint lock to historical values — matching the
native HTF chart exactly.
2. Box Construction
• Body box: built from HTF open → close.
• Wick box: built from HTF high → low.
• Boxes extend dynamically across each HTF period, updating in real time, then freeze at
close.
3. Midpoint Logic
• (htfOpen + htfClose) / 2 calculates intrabar midpoint.
• Line drawn edge-to-edge across the active HTF body.
• Style, width, color, and opacity are user-controlled.
4. Sweep Detection
• Flags (sweepedHigh / sweepedLow) prevent clutter: only the first tap per side per HTF
candle is marked.
• Lower-timeframe price breaking the HTF high/low triggers the sweep arrow.
• Arrows are offset above/below wick envelopes for clean visuals.
5. Customisation
• Every layer (body, wick, midpoint, arrows) has independent color + opacity settings.
• Arrow size, arrow color, and transparency are adjustable.
• Default HTF = 1H (perfect for 5m/15m traders) but can be switched to 30m, 4H, Daily,
etc.
Why It’s Useful
• HTF intent + LTF execution without chart hopping.
• Liquidity mapping: see where liquidity is swept in real time.
• Bias clarity: midpoint line defines HTF equilibrium.
• Clean signals: only the first sweep prints — no spam.
What Makes It Different
Most MTF overlays just plot candles or single lines. This tool:
• Splits body vs wick zones for institutional precision.
• Updates live intrabar (no repainting).
• Highlights liquidity sweeps clearly.
• Built for readability and professional use — not another retail signal toy.
Cheat-Sheet Playbook
1️⃣ Structure Bias
• Above midpoint line = bullish intent.
• Below midpoint line = bearish intent.
• Chop around midpoint = no clear direction.
2️⃣ Liquidity Sweeps
• ▲ Green up arrow below wick box = sell-side liquidity taken → watch for longs.
• ▼ Red down arrow above wick box = buy-side liquidity taken → watch for shorts.
• First sweep is the cleanest.
3️⃣ Trade Logic
• Body box = where institutions transact.
• Wick box = liquidity traps.
• Midpoint = bias filter.
• Best setups occur when sweep + midpoint flip align.
4️⃣ Example (5m + 1H Overlay)
1. ▲ Green up arrow prints below HTF wick.
2. Price reclaims the body box.
3. Midpoint flips to support.
4. Enter long → stop below sweep → targets = midpoint first, opposite wick second.
In short:
• Boxes = structure
• Wicks = liquidity pools
• Midpoint = bias line
• Arrows = liquidity sweeps
This is your SMC edge on one chart — HTF structure and liquidity fused directly into your execution timeframe.

Example: "STRONG BULLISH PATTERN detected! Strength: 9.5 | Top Pattern: Three White Soldiers | Trend: Up".
**Customization & Usage Tips**
- **Inputs Groups**: Strategy toggles, confirmations, exits, backtest dates, and 15+ alert switches—all intuitively grouped.
- **Optimization**: Tune min strengths for aggressive (lower) or conservative (higher) trading; enable/disable filters to suit your style (e.g., disable S/R for scalping).
- **Best For**: Forex, stocks, crypto on 1H–Daily charts. Test on historical data to refine TP/SL.
- **Limitations**: No external data installs; relies on built-in TA functions. Patterns are probabilistic—combine with your risk management.

Hilly's Reversal Scalping Strategy - 5 Min CandlesHow to Use
Copy the Code: Copy the script above.
Paste in TradingView: Open TradingView, go to the Pine Editor (bottom of the chart), paste the code, and click “Add to Chart.”
Set Timeframe: Ensure the chart is set to 5-minute candles (TradingView: right-click chart > Timeframe > 5 Minutes).
Check for Errors: Verify no errors appear in the Pine Editor console.
Apply to Chart: Use a liquid crypto pair (e.g., BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT on Binance or Coinbase).
Verify Signals:
Green “BUY” labels and triangle-up arrows for bullish reversals (e.g., bullish engulfing, hammer, doji, morning star, three white soldiers, double bottom in a downtrend).
Red “SELL” labels and triangle-down arrows for bearish reversals (e.g., bearish engulfing, shooting star, doji, evening star, three black crows, double top in an uptrend).
Green/red background highlights for signal candles.
Backtest: Use TradingView’s Strategy Tester to evaluate performance over 1–3 months, checking Net Profit, Win Rate, and Drawdown.
Demo Test: Run on a demo account to confirm signal visibility and performance before trading with real funds.
Troubleshooting
If Errors Occur: If any errors appear in TradingView’s Pine Editor console (e.g., “Syntax error” or “Invalid argument”), please share the exact error messages to diagnose environment-specific issues.
Signal Overload: If too many signals appear, increase patternLookback to 15 or set volFilter = volume > volMa * 2.0.
Missed Signals: If signals are too rare, set useVolumeFilter=false or reduce patternLookback to 5.
Additional Features: If you need alerts, other indicators (e.g., EMA, RSI), or dynamic arrow sizing, please specify. Note that dynamic sizing caused errors previously, so I’ve kept size=size.normal.
