Padder Scalp - Manipulation Triangle + First 15m Session Box

This indicator combines intraday manipulation detection with session‑based structure and key candlestick pattern labeling to support precision scalp trading.
1. Manipulation Candle Detection (Daily ATR‑Based)
The script calculates the Daily ATR(14) and compares each intraday candle’s range to it.
If a candle’s range is ≥ 20% of the daily ATR, it is flagged as a potential manipulation candle.
A purple triangle is plotted beneath any candle that meets this threshold, helping traders quickly spot abnormal volatility spikes that often precede liquidity grabs or engineered moves.
2. First 15‑Minute RTH Session Box (9:30–9:45 AM)
Designed for use on a 15‑minute chart, the script automatically identifies the first bar of the regular trading session (RTH).
When the 9:30–9:45 candle prints:
- Its high and low are captured
- A session box is created using those levels
- The box extends across the entire trading day
This provides a consistent structural reference point for opening‑range dynamics, liquidity sweeps, and intraday bias.
3. Automatic Box Extension
Once the first RTH candle is detected, the script draws a blue box from that candle’s high/low and continuously extends it to the right for the remainder of the session.
This creates a persistent visual anchor for:
- Breakouts
- Retests
- Rejections
- Mean‑reversion scalps
4. Candlestick Pattern Detection + Labels
The script identifies and labels four high‑value reversal/continuation patterns:
- Bullish Engulfing → green label above the candle
- Bearish Engulfing → red label below the candle
- Hammer → yellow label below the candle
- Inverted Hammer → orange label above the candle
These labels help traders quickly spot actionable price‑action signals without manually scanning every bar.
Overall Purpose
This tool blends volatility‑based manipulation detection, opening‑range structure, and real‑time candlestick pattern recognition into a single, clean visual system.
It’s built for scalpers and intraday traders who rely on:
- Opening‑range levels
- Liquidity cues
- Manipulation signals
- Price‑action confirmation
to time entries with precision.
