Strategy Myth-Busting #10 - InsideBar+EMA - [MYN]This is part of a new series we are calling "Strategy Myth-Busting" where we take open public manual trading strategies and automate them. The goal is to not only validate the authenticity of the claims but to provide an automated version for traders who wish to trade autonomously. Our 10th one we are automating is the " 75% Win Rate High Profit Inside Bar Trading Strategy - What If You ... " strategy from " Trade Pro " who claims to have backtested this manually and achieved 11,063% profit with a 75% winrate over 100 trades. I was unable to emulate these results consistently accommodating for slippage and commission but even so, the results look promising. I was only able to achieve this win-rate with some multiple take profit staggering. Even so the markdown is above where I would normally consider comfortable (>20%). If you know of or have a strategy you want to see myth-busted or just have an idea for one, please feel free to message me. This strategy uses a combination of 2 open-source public indicators: Inside Bar Ind/Alert by CMA EMA (built-in) Trading Rules 4 hour candles Stop Loss at EMA Line with TP Target 1.5x the risk Long Entry when these conditions are true inside bar and bullish Bar close's above 50 ema Price action rises above high of inside bar . Short Entry when these conditions are true inside bar and bearish Bar close below 50 ema Price action falls below low of inside bar

Price action: candlestick trend painter This script paints bars in different colors based on whether they are trending up or down. It shows you if a candle is bearish or bullish based on the high and low of the previous candle. Bull candles form higher highs (HH) and higher lows (HL) from the previous candle and are painted green. Bear candles form lower highs (LH) and lower lows (LL) from the previous candle and are painted red. Disclaimer Copyright by Drbondsbody.

Buying & Selling PressureBuying and selling pressure is a volatility indicator which denotes the balance between buyers and sellers inside candlestick. You set the length to average it just like ATR. But This offers further break down of participants of the market. Pretty much at any condition of the market the indicator can filter out interesting details to make trading decisions faster or confirm them. So keep it simple we have two lines 🟢 Green → buying pressure 🔴 Red → selling pressure If green is rising → Price most likely will grow If green is rising and red is falling → Price will grow at higher probability If red is rising → Price most likely will fall If red is rising and green is falling → Price will fall at higher probability When they both grow or fall → wait till one of them goes opposite way. ╳ Crossings can indicate turning points for bigger price swings. Technically by very act of intersecting means that Buying and Selling Pressure are equal. Can be used for Demand/Supply analysis and evaluate the support/resistance levels.

Confined Range Candle FinderThis indicator finds candlesticks which are confined within the range of a previous candlestick. This indicates volatility contraction which often leads to volatility expansion, i.e. large price movements. While every confined range will contain at least 1 inside bar, this indicator differs from the Inside Bar Finder which only finds consecutive inside bars. This indicator includes options such as: - The minimum number of candlesticks confined within the range of a previous candlestick to trigger the indicator - Labels to indicate the number of confined candles - Signal lines to indicate the high and low of the containing candlestick Try out this indicator with different options on different timeframes to see if confined ranges increase the probability of identifying the direction of price movements. Breaks or closes outside signal lines can be used to trigger trade signals.

Minimalist Doji HighlighterThis minimalism focused indicator was designed specifically to highlight doji candles (gravestone, long-legged, and dragonfly) that generally signal indecision/neutrality within price structure to improve trading accessibility for the disabled/visually impaired, visual charting cues or pattern visibility, and educational/learning purposes. HOW TO USE IT: Highlight doji candles to improve visual cues on chart. Default size of 0.15-0.02 works best, yet can be modified thus ensuring flexibility of use and experimentation. Additionally, there is an option to add crosses above doji candles for additional visual cues; this feature is set to false by default to avoid cluttering charts. MARKET USAGE: All time frames and assets. MARKET CONDITIONS: All conditions.

Liquidity Engulfing Candles [upslidedown]Liquidity engulfing candles (LEC) are a variant of a common candlestick pattern: engulfing candles but with a couple extra conditions applied. These conditions expect highs/lows to be taken out in order to show a continuation or reversal signal. Filter 1: Stop Hunt Wick Filter This filter requires the candle to wick into the prior candles high or low ( bullish = wick below prior candle lows). This is the stop hunt. Filter 2: Close Filter This filter requires the candle to close above or below above the prior candle ( bullish = close above prior candle high). This is the confirmation. This idea was introduced to me by @attrk632. Thanks, mate!

Choppy Market EMA IdentificationThis indicator could be used to identify choppy Market Conditions based on the EMA. It is an EMA that could be configured to only show up, if the last 1..n candles are NOT crossing the EMA in any direction. I figured out that lower timeframes ( < 30 min) often the price bounces around the 200 EMA and gives lot of false signals using different strategies. So i decided to write a small indicator to avoid taking trades in those market conditions. The Indicator could be configured for the length of the EMA and how many crosses must be happened in the defined numbers of candles.

Candlestick Channels [LuxAlgo]Candlestick Channels return channels whose extremities converge towards the price when a corresponding candlestick pattern is detected. This allows for us to obtain more reactive extremities in the presence of a cluster of candlestick patterns. The detected candlestick patterns are also highlighted with labels on your chart automatically. Settings Trend Length: Period of the stochastic oscillator used to determine trend sentiment; this sentiment is used to detect certain candlestick patterns. Convergence: Convergence percentage of the channel extremities used during the occurrence of a candlestick pattern. A lower value will return extremities converging more slowly toward the price. Smooth: Determines the degree of smoothness of the channel extremities. Patterns This category determines which patterns are detected by the indicator. Patterns toggled off will not be detected and won't affect the channels. Usage Candlesticks patterns are commonly used by traders to detect potential reversals or continuation periods in the price. It can be of interest to use them as core elements in the calculation of more classical indicators, this can allow us to filter out potential false signals returned by candlestick patterns by shifting the source of interpretation towards the channel extremities instead. In this indicator extremities converge towards the price when a corresponding pattern is detected. As such bullish patterns will make the upper extremity converge towards the price, facilitating a cross with price. Using a lower convergence percentage will require a greater number of patterns to make the extremity converge closer towards the price. Users can use the channel like most indicators returning extremities, with an uptrend being detected when price cross over the upper extremity and a downtrend being detected when price cross under the lower extremity. An approach solely making use of crosses between the price and the average line can be used but the user should expect further whipsaws signals. Users can eventually use the candlestick patterns as entries and use the extremities for confirmation. For example, users can follow a candlestick pattern return an indication in accordance with the detected trend by the channels. This approach would lead to the following of bullish patterns when they occur in an uptrend, that is when the price is above the average line (in orange). The same logic applies to bearish patterns. The chart above highlights the candlesticks patterns in accordance with a detected trend. Notes - Bullish/Bearish engulfing patterns are turned off by default due their more frequent appearance. - Candlestick patterns relying on gaps were not included, since they would be more uncommon in cryptocurrencies, thus leading to a disparity between the indicator performance on the cryptocurrency and stock market.

Price Action CandlesThis simple script provides a visual aid for price action traders by coloring outside & inside candles, which in effect leaves the trader with 6 possible candle colors: -Regular bullish candle -Outside bullish candle -Inside bullish candle -Regular bearish candle -Outside bearish candle -Inside bearish candle These candlesticks may provide powerful signals when used in conjunction with key levels, market structure and chart patterns. Make sure to disable the regular candlesticks (body, borders and wicks) in the symbol tab inside the configuration menu! Hope it can help someone!

Constantly Applied Pressure Index (CAP index)BINANCE:ETHUSDT The CAP index is my own homebrew trend indicator made to help traders see the slightly bigger picture, because we all know that as traders we can tend to hyper-focus in on a few candles and end up making a stupid trade because of it, or is it just me ? On a more serious note this indicator helps you find the short term trend by looking at bullish and bearish candles comparing their sizes, volumes and predominance. The indicator has many technical settings for you to play around with but on the defaults it will render in a few colors which I will explain. Gray means no trend or that the current trend has died, bright green or red mean that a trend has formed, is playing out or that there is a good change a strong trend is about to form. Obviously green means bullish and red means bearish. Finally darker green and red mean a weak or weakening trend, this serves as a warning if you are about to take a trade in the trend direction. The way I recommend using the indicator is the same way many trend indicators are used, as a filter to either a different indicator creating trading signals or to your own strategy's signals. I would add an illustration here that I prepared but I cannot because of tradingview's reputation rules

V Bottom & V Top Pattern [Misu]█ This indicator shows V bottom & V top patterns as well as potential V bottom & V top. These V bottom & V top are chart powerful reversal patterns.  They appear in all markets and time-frames, but due to the nature of the aggressive moves that take place when a market reverses direction, it can be difficult to identify this pattern in real-time. To address this problem, I added potential V pattern as well as the confirmed one. █ Usages: You can use V top & V bottoms for reversal zones. You can use it for scalping strategies, as a main buy & sell signal. Potential V patterns can be used to anticipate the market, in addition to volatility or momentum indicators, for example. █ How it works? This indicator uses pivot points to determine potential V patterns and confirm them. Paramaters are available to filter breakouts of varying strengths.  Patterns also have a "max number bars" to be validated. █ Why a Strategy type indicator? Due to the many different parameters, this indicator is a strategy type.  This way you can overview the best settings depending on your pair & timeframe.  Parameters are available to filter. █ Parameters: Deviation: Parameter used to calculate parameters. Depth: Parameter used to calculate parameters. Confirmation Type: Type of signal used to confirme the pattern. > Mid Pivot: pattern will confirm on mid pivot breakout. > Opposit Pivot: pattern will confirm on opposit pivot breakout. > No confirmation: no confirmation. Lenght Avg Body: Lenght used to calculate the average body size. First Breakout Factor: This factor multiplied by the "body avg" filters out the non-significant breakout of potential V pattern. Confirmation Breakout Factor: This factor multiplied by the "body avg" filters out the non-significant breakout for the confirmation. Max Bars Confirmation: The maximum number of bars needed to validate the pattern.

Mark StructureMark Structure is building the market swing structure, minor and sub structure and marks all possible insignificant pivots Building such structure is really complex task to do, that has a lot of obstacles and challenges. I'm doing my best to develop this indicator behaving in absolutely expectable and right way. Fill free to leave any comments or bug reports. it supports: - Marking all pivots with labels or join them continuously with trend lines. - Marking minor and sub structured swings with labels or join them continuously with trend lines. Marking BOS or SMS BOS, which are mbos. Minor and substructure are structures inside swing structure and it can differ from the structure of lower timeframe - Marking swings of swing structure with labels or join them continuously with trend lines. Marking BOS or SMS BOS of swing structure - Changing bullish and bearish colors of each kind of structures - Changing pivot labelings - Changing colors of BOSs Remarks: - As I told you guys before, it has a lot of challenging cases. eg we have swing low and high on the same candle and in order to decide which pivot goes first I take lower time frame data to figure out what pivot is the first, but it happens that on lower time frame the same issue takes place, due to limitation of TradingView I can't go infinitely to lower timeframes to solve this issue, so I mark those cases with labels - Another issue is very beginning of the trend its hard to detect swing structure there due to missing historical data. so skip a few waves in the very beginning - Don't expect to have minor and sub structure in each swing waves, its totally fine when you don't have them at all - Swing structure is the most significant structure and shows real price direction. Trend change is confirmed when for bull->bear the last HLbull LH>HH and HH-HL-HH are confirmed. You can change labelling for unconfirmed swing trend in the settings. By default its already done

SubCandleI created this script as POC to handle specific cases where not having tick data on historical bars create repainting. Happy to share if this serves purpose for other coders. What is the function of this script? Script plots a sub-candle which is remainder of candle after forming the latest peak. Higher body of Sub-candle refers to strong retracement of price from its latest peak. Color of the sub-candle defines the direction of retracement. Higher wick of Sub-candle refers to higher push in the direction of original candle. Meaning, after price reaching its peak, price retraced but could not hold. Here is a screenshot with explanation to visualise the concept: Settings There is only one setting which is number of backtest bars. Lower timeframe resolution which is used for calculating the Sub-candle uses this number to automatically calculate maximum possible lower timeframe so that all the required backtest windows are covered without having any issue. We need to keep in mind that max available lower timeframe bars is 100,000. Hence, with 5000 backtest bars, lower timeframe resolution can be about 20 (100000/5000) times lesser than that of regular chart timeframe. We need to also keep in mind that minimum resolution available as part of security_lower_tf is 1 minute. Hence, it is not advisable to use this script for chart timeframes less than 15 mins. Application I have been facing this issue in pattern recognition scripts where patterns are formed using high/low prices but entry and targets are calculated based on the opposite side (low/high). It becomes tricky during extreme bars to identify entry conditions based on just the opposite peak because, the candle might have originated from it before identifying the pattern and might have never reached same peak after forming the pattern. Due to lack of tick data on historical bars, we cannot use close price to measure such conditions. This leads to repaint and few unexpected results. I am intending to use this method to overcome the issue up-to some extent.

Inside Bar SetupScript Details - This script plots Inside Bar for given day in selected time-frame (applicable only for Timeframes < Day) - Basis plotted inside bar, relevant targets are marked on the chart - Targets can be customised from script settings. Example, if range of mother candle is 10 points, then T1 is 10 * x above/below mother candle and T2 is 10 * y above/below mother candle. This x & y are configured via script settings How to use this script ? - This script works well on 10-15 mins timeframe for stocks, 15/30 mins timeframe for nifty index and 30/60 mins time frame for bank nifty index - If mother candle high is broken, take long trade with SL of mother candle low and if low is broken, take short trade with SL of mother candle high Remember: 1. Above logic is to be combined with support/resistances i.e. price action. This script is an add-on to price action analysis giving you more conviction. 2. If range of mother candle is very high, it is recommended to avoid the trade. 3. Basis inside bar formed on higher time frame, take trade on basis of lower time frame i.e if inside bar is formed on 60 mins, take trade on the basis of 10-15 mins time frame Example: 1. As seen in the chart, Nifty is near it's resistance and we are seeing Inside Bar being formed, In such scenario, even if High of Mother Candle is broken, we should be more interested to short as we are near resistance and probability of getting our targets in long side is less. 2. So, if I see breakdown of mother candle i.e. price going below low of mother candle, we will short with SL of high of mother candle. 3. As seen in the chart, both the targets are achieved. Additional Info: 1. Targets on Long/Short Side can be configured via settings. For indices 1 times/1.5 times the range works well. 2. This script plots targets basis the first inside bar formed in the day for selected time frame. 3. Inside bars formed through out the day are coloured separately but lines are plotted only on the basis of 1st formed inside bar as this strategy works well for the first formed inside bar) 4. Don't forget to check volume in case of breakout/breakdown. Note: 1. Mother Candle - First Candle of Inside Bar 2. Child Candle - Candle formed inside Mother Candle (Second Candle of Inside Bar) Happy Trading :)
