Engulfing [TradingFinder] Bullish & Bearish CandleStick Pattern🔵 Introduction
The candlestick engulfing pattern is important pattern in technical analysis that can be observed in candlestick charts. This pattern occurs when a complete candle engulfs or "engulfs" the body of a previous candle, meaning that the body of the new candle completely covers the body of the previous candle.
The candlestick engulfing pattern has two types: the bullish engulfing pattern and the bearish engulfing pattern.
• Bullish Engulfing Pattern: This pattern occurs when a market candle opens with a larger and higher body than the previous market candle and completely covers the body of the previous candle. This pattern may indicate the presence of strong buying pressure and a potential change in price direction upwards.
• Bearish Engulfing Pattern: This pattern occurs when a market candle opens with a larger and lower body than the previous market candle and completely covers the body of the previous candle. This pattern may indicate the presence of strong selling pressure and a potential change in price direction downwards.
The candlestick engulfing pattern is usually used as a valid signal for a change in price direction in the market and can enhance a combination of crossover investments and technical analysis. However, it should always be evaluated alongside other indicators and market factors, and counter decisions should be made accordingly.
🔵 Recognition Method
Correct, the candlestick engulfing pattern is one of the important patterns in technical analysis that is typically used as a strong signal for a valid change in price direction in the market. This pattern occurs when a candle (usually in the market) opens with a larger and higher (for bullish engulfing pattern) or lower (for bearish engulfing pattern) body than a previous market candle and completely covers the body of the previous candle.
Example of Bullish Engulfing Pattern:
• First Candle: A bearish (downward) candle with a small red body.
• Second Candle: A bullish (upward) candle with a larger body that completely covers the body of the previous candle.
This pattern may indicate a change in price direction from downward to upward.
Example of Bearish Engulfing Pattern:
• First Candle: A bullish (upward) candle with a small green body.
• Second Candle: A bearish (downward) candle with a larger body that completely covers the body of the previous candle.
This pattern may indicate a change in price direction from upward to downward.
The most important point is that the candlestick engulfing pattern should be carefully considered and always evaluated alongside other market indicators and overall conditions. For example, the engulfing pattern near important support or resistance levels, during significant market command changes, or accompanied by other technical signals can have greater signaling power.

Fair Value Gaps
Introducing the Fair Value Gaps (FVG) Indicator by OmegaTools, a distinctive and analytical tool designed for TradingView. This script meticulously identifies and visualizes fair value gaps within the market, offering traders a nuanced understanding of potential price movement areas that are not immediately apparent through traditional analysis.
Concept and Methodology:
Fair Value Gaps are identified as areas on a chart where the price has skipped over, leaving a 'gap' that has not been filled. These gaps often occur due to sudden market movements triggered by news events, changes in market sentiment, or large orders that move the price significantly. The FVG Indicator detects these gaps by analyzing price action and identifying discrepancies between high and low prices over a specified period. This approach is rooted in the belief that markets tend to return to these unfilled spaces, providing potential opportunities for traders.
How It Works:
The indicator scans the chart for gaps between the high of one session and the low of the next (or vice versa), marking these gaps visually for easy identification.
Users can customize the lookback period to adjust the sensitivity of the indicator to recent versus historical data.
The FVG Indicator employs color-coding to distinguish between bullish and bearish gaps, allowing traders to quickly gauge market sentiment around these gaps.
Using the FVG Indicator:
Apply the indicator to any chart on TradingView and adjust the input settings, including the extension of FVGs and aesthetic preferences like color, to suit your analysis style.
Use the visual cues provided by the FVG Indicator to identify potential areas where the market may move to fill the gaps.
Combine the insights from the FVG Indicator with other technical analysis tools or fundamental analysis to validate potential trading opportunities.
Originality and Usefulness:
The FVG Indicator stands out due to its focused approach to identifying and visualizing fair value gaps, a concept that is often overlooked in conventional market analysis. By providing a clear visual representation of these gaps, the indicator adds depth to market analysis, aiding in the identification of potential price reversal zones or continuation signals.
Disclaimer and Responsible Use:
The financial markets are complex and unpredictable. The FVG Indicator is designed to offer analytical insights and should be used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy. It does not guarantee profits or predict market movements with absolute certainty. Traders are encouraged to use this tool judiciously, alongside proper risk management practices. Remember, past performance does not guarantee future results, and trading involves risks, including the potential loss of investment.

18 Bar MM RangeFirst Indicator in a (hopefully) many indicators to help bring Al Brook's methodoligies to Pine Script.
This indicator plots the highest and lowest close from the first 18bars of the NY session and uses them to plot the 18bar MM. Most days, a BO of the 18bar range is met. This is help to keep track of that key price action on your chart.
It doesn't plot until bar 18 has closed.
Candle DecompositionThe Candle Decomposition indicator shows the last 2 candles in detail, with 2 levels of lower timeframes (LTF).
In this way, you can keep oversight of history, while zooming in on the last and previous candle.
This tool is meant to be used in realtime, preferentially for intraday usage.
🔶 USAGE
In this example, on the current timeframe of 15 minutes, you see the 2 latest candles, visualized through dotted lines/boxes.
The first LTF level is set at 5 minutes, the second level at 15 seconds:
(The 2 exclamation marks are just to emphasize this is the latest price which will be repainted)
The combination of 2 LTF's can be helpful in finding support/resistance levels.
These are taken in realtime, not in bar replay, so the outcome wasn't known in advance:
(blue lines were drawn manually)
After first testing resistance, the price went to the support area, bouncing back to an area of resistance and breaking it briefly.
Price turned back, and found support, after which resistance was tested once more:
Support was again tested, after which resistance was clearly broken:
A bit later (every time 1 candle further):
The following example shows 2 last candles with signs of indecision, but LTF candles show support and resistance areas:
🔶 IMPORTANT
PP = TradingView Premium / Professional Plan
BEP = TradingView Basic / Essential / Plus Plan
This publication uses second-based TF's, which is only available for PP users.
To ensure a smooth experience for BEP users, we have disabled the setting "Premium/Professional Plan" .
BEP users will get a warning when trying to use a second-based TF.
If possible, BEP users should use non-second-based TF's.
PP users have to enable the setting "Premium/Professional Plan" .
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Timeframes
Most common timeframes can be used: 2W, W, 3D, 2D, D, 12h, 8h, 6h, 4h, 3h, 2h, 1h, 30min, 15min, 10min, 5min, 3min, 1min
When having the current chart timeframe at 1 of these TF's, you can set 1st and 2nd LTF. Choices are pré-set to ensure maximum usage of drawings:
In the image above you'll see there are gaps between candles.
The script ensures that when there are no trades, instead of attaching the next bar next to the previous, it leaves the gap visible (which is more realistic).
More in detail you can see the gaps are preserved:
(compared between white -current TF- candles, and LTF candles)
🔹 Limitations
When on a Weekly TF, and 2nd LTF is set at 4h, all drawings have enough space:
If we change the 2nd LTF to 2h, there isn't enough space for the second last candle, after which an orange coloured informational warning label will be shown:
When current chart TF is not 1 of the encoded TF's, a red warning text will be shown:
This script can be used using "Bar Replay", but very limited.
You can change the date ("Jump To..."), but "Play" is not advisable.
🔹 Code
This script uses string manipulation to convert inputs like "1 hour", "5 min", "5 sec" to usable timeframe strings like "60", "5" and "5S"
• str.contains(str , 'hour') ? str.tostring(str.tonumber(str.replace(str, ' hour', '')) * 60) : str
• str.replace(input.string( '5 sec', '' , options= ), " sec", "S")
• str.replace(str, " min", "")
Since string manipulation consumes resources, these are place in local blocks.
While inputs always will be extracted, whether it is put in an if-block or not, the string manipulation only will be executed when condition is fulfilled, in this case when we are at the right timeframe.
In following example you'll always see the '1 sec' input, on every TF, but the string manipulation will only happen when we are at a 1 minute TF:
str = ''
if timeframe.period == '1'
str := str.replace(input.string( '1 sec', '' , options= ), " sec", "S")
// output -> "5S" or "1S"
The "visible chart function" chart.right_visible_bar_time is used to reset everything when a new candle starts. This makes sure that when using "barstate.islastconfirmedhistory", the second last bar is used. Also all lines & boxes are automatically removed, starting with a fresh slate.
chT = timenow > chart.right_visible_bar_time
•••
if chT
if barstate.islastconfirmedhistory
f(4)
if barstate.islast
f(2)
If boxes/lines end up before the first bar, or after the last bar, this can be messy.
To protect ourselves against it 2 techniques are used:
math.max(0, x) is used to make sure lines & boxes don't end up before the first bar,
isOK = index < last_bar_index is used to be sure that the width of 1 candle (here index) is not wider than the total of all bars (which is the same as last_bar_index)
🔶 SETTINGS
3 columns:
Current TF: This columns shows you the chart TF where LTF settings are applicable.
1st LTF: set the timeframe of the first level LTF
2nd LTF: set the timeframe of the second level LTF
Colours can be set for 3 timeframes
+4-4 ChartThis overlay indicator provides a visual representation of momentum and price direction within each bar (or candlestick). It does this by comparing the current bar's open, high, low, and close to the previous bar's values, highlighting the following conditions:
Strong Up (Green): All four components (open, high, low, close) are higher than the previous bar.
Weak Up (Light Green): Three out of four components are higher than the previous bar.
Strong Down (Red): All four components are lower than the previous bar.
Weak Down (Light Red): Three out of four components are lower than the previous bar.
White: None of the strong or weak conditions are met, suggesting possible consolidation or indecision.
How to Use: The +4-4 Chart Indicator can be helpful in identifying potential trend continuation patterns, reversals, or periods of consolidation. Traders might use the predominance of green or red to gauge overall market sentiment. It is most useful to visualise long term daily, weekly, monthly market trends for SPY and QQQ etc.
Candle Length >= 70This script will highlight candles that have 70 or more points difference between open and close price. It ignores high and low prices.
% Change CandleThis script creates a trading indicator that shows how much the price of a financial instrument (like a stock or currency) changes within each trading period, represented by candles on a chart. Each candle shows the range of prices from the highest to the lowest within a specific time frame.
The indicator calculates the percentage difference between the highest and lowest prices for each candle. If the closing price of the candle is higher than the opening price, suggesting that the price has gone up during that period, the indicator will display this percentage increase as a green line. Conversely, if the closing price is lower than the opening price, indicating a price decrease, it will display the percentage decrease as a red line.
In simple terms, this indicator provides a visual way to see how much and in which direction the price is moving during each trading period, with green lines showing periods of price increase and red lines showing periods of price decrease.

Kzx | RSI + Div + MACDComponents Description:
Relative Strength Index (RSI):
Purpose: Measures the magnitude of recent price changes to evaluate overbought or oversold conditions in the price of a stock or other asset.
Implementation: The script allows users to set the length of the RSI calculation and defines overbought and oversold levels, which can be visually represented on the chart. Additional features include options to fill and/or color the background of the chart when overbought or oversold levels are reached.
Divergence (Div):
Purpose: Identifies instances where the price of an asset is moving in the opposite direction of a momentum indicator, such as the RSI in this script. Divergences can signal potential trend reversals.
Implementation: The script provides options for users to define the conditions under which divergences are identified, including the source of price tops/bottoms, detection limits, and the maximum lookback period for divergence analysis. It visually highlights these divergences on the chart.
Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD):
Purpose: Tracks the relationship between two moving averages of a security's price. The MACD is used to identify trend direction, momentum, and potential reversal points through crossovers.
Implementation: The script calculates the MACD line and its signal line. It plots buy or sell markers based on crossovers between these two lines, indicating potential entry or exit points.
Script Category:
Category: Technical Analysis / Indicators and Strategies
Subcategory: Oscillators (for RSI and MACD) and Trend Analysis (for Divergence)
Usage:
The script is designed for traders and analysts who rely on technical analysis to make informed decisions in the financial markets. By integrating RSI, divergence detection, and MACD analysis into a single script, users can gain a more nuanced understanding of market conditions, potentially improving their trading strategies.
Customization and Visualization:
Users can customize various parameters, including lengths for RSI and MACD, overbought/oversold levels, divergence detection criteria, and visual aspects like colors and marker sizes.
The script provides visual cues directly on the price chart, making it easy to spot potential buy/sell signals, overbought/oversold conditions, and divergences without the need to switch between different indicators.
Ninja Trend v2Ninja Trend V2 is best for swing, day trading and scalping using higher timeframe bias and executing in the lower timeframes. Uses MACD for the overall bias and paints a Heikin-Ashi chart.
Settings:
Firstly, go to chart settings, check (tick) the body, uncheck borders and wicks.
Secondly, go to the script settings and input the following;
Source close
Fast moving average 7
Slow moving average 13
Signal length 4
For day trading and scalping, change the script settings timeframe to 15 minutes and use a smaller chart timeframe (M5 or M1)
For swinging change the script settings timeframe to Daily and use H4 chart timeframe.
Behind the code:
When the higher timeframe MACD histogram crosses and closes above zero line, script goes to neutral and paints grey bars waiting for the signal line to cross and close above the zero line and then paints green bars and a buy signal is generated.
When the higher timeframe MACD histogram crosses and closes below zero line, script goes to neutral and paints grey bars waiting for the signal line to cross and close below the zero line and then paints red bars.
Advantage of this is to filter out the chart noise by painting Heikin Ashi charts.
Signals:
Grey means neutral. No entries should be made.
Red means sells only. And then hold until the trend changes to green or use your desired TP and SL.
Green means buys only. And then hold until the trend changes to red or use your desired TP and SL.
HTF CandlesHTF Candles Indicator (High Time Frame Candles for Low Time Frame Charts)
Overview:
This indicator plots High Time Frame (HTF) candle boxes on Lower Time Frame (LTF) charts. The purpose is to provide traders with a visual representation of (HTF) candlestick movements on a lower timeframe (LTF) within a specified interval.
Usage:
Traders can utilize this indicator to gain insights into HTF candle movements on LTF charts. It helps in identifying the range, direction, and bodies of candles from a higher timeframe perspective.
HTF Candle Box Formation:
The script identifies the start of a new interval on the HTF by monitoring changes in the specified timeframe (Interval).
For each new interval, it records key data points, including the open, high, low, and bar index.
The indicator then uses this information to draw a box on the LTF chart, encapsulating the HTF candle's high and low.
Candle Body Representation:
Users can choose to include the candle body in the box (BodyCandleBox).
If selected, the script draws an additional box representing the HTF candle body, from the open to the previous bar's close.
Color Customization:
Traders can customize box colors for long and short candles on the HTF.
Boxes can be transparent or filled with a specified color.
Multiple Timeframes:
The script supports multiple timeframes simultaneously, allowing traders to overlay HTF candle boxes from different intervals on the same chart.
Configurable options (Interval, Interval1, Interval2) provide flexibility in selecting additional timeframes.
Note:
Understanding the visual representation of HTF candles on LTF charts can aid traders in making more informed decisions, especially when considering the interplay between different timeframes.
Fetch EngulfingBuysThis script makes use of bullish engulfing candles, trend analysis, and time.
The trend is devided between an up- and downtrend. This is based on a simple cross over strategy, using the 9 and 50 moving averages.
The buys are calculated based on how many times a bullish engulfing candle was displayed on the chart during a downtrend. Bullish engulfing candles in an uptrend will never result in a buy signal.
The sells are simply based on time. This means that the script counts how many days you have been in a trade. The default is 100 candles. You can tweak this in the settings of the indicator.
Finally, this script does not provide you with any stop-losses. I am planning on releasing a v2 once I figured out what a good balance is. Also, you might notice that there are more buys than sells. This is because only the first trade in the series is tracked. V2 could improve on this flaw of the indicator.
Hope you enjoy this first iteration of the indicator.
Local Highs & Lows ATC-LHAL [ATC]What does this indicator do?
This indicator plots the highest and lowest historical price for each candle for a specified time interval, so you can see for each candle which price was the historical ("local") maximum or minimum in the defined time interval. It helps you not to lose sight of previous highs and lows, even when working with short time frames.
In the example chart you can see the highest price for each candle, that have occurred during a defined time interval (adjustable in the indicator settings), here as an example during 1 day.
So, for example, during trading in a 5m chart, you can always see the highest and lowest price, that occurred e.g. some time ago.
Where is the benefit?
For trading, it can be a strategic advantage to know the last decisive high or low in a defined period of time.
If the time frame is very short, e.g. 5m as in the example chart shown, then the overall overview is often missing: It is often of interest to know at what price the last high was within the last day, for example. This indicator can therefore be configured by specifying a time interval so that this local high is always displayed. In the example chart, this high is shown as a plotted green line.
The same is true with the historical low point in a defined interval: This is shown in red in the example chart. As an example, one day was specified for the lookback period for both the local high and the local low.
How is the data for each candle calculated?
The indicator's script plots the highest or lowest price for each candle that occurred in the specified time period. The loopback periods can be defined separately for the high price and low price.
How is the indicator configured?
Inside of the settings of the indicator you can set the High Lookback Interval and the Low Lookback Interval easily, for example 1 day, or 30 minutes, just as you like.
This interval will be the lookback period, and the highest or lowest price that occurred during this interval will be plotted.
Why is this script special?
Unlike most other scripts, the time interval can be specified in seconds, minutes, hours or days and not by a number of candles. It is therefore independent of the time interval. It is no longer necessary to adjust the number of candles accordingly, when you switch the time frame.
Have fun!
Candle Body Percentages TableThis script is designed as an analysis tool to visually represent the relative strength of bullish and bearish market sentiments over a specified number of candles. It calculates and displays the percentages of bullish and bearish "candle bodies" as part of the total price range observed in the chosen period.
Here's a breakdown of its functionalities:
User-Defined Period Analysis: Users can specify the number of candles they wish to analyze, allowing for flexible and dynamic examination of market trends over different time frames.
Bullish Body Percentage: The script calculates the combined length of all bullish candle bodies (where the closing price is higher than the opening price) within the selected range and expresses this total as a percentage of the combined price range of all candles analyzed.
Bearish Body Percentage: Similarly, it computes the aggregate length of all bearish candle bodies (where the closing price is lower than the opening price) and presents this sum as a percentage of the total price range.
Visual Representation: The results are displayed in a table format on the chart, providing an immediate visual summary of the prevailing market dynamics. The table shows the percentages of price movement dominated by bullish or bearish sentiment.
Market Sentiment Indicator: This tool can be particularly useful for traders and analysts looking to gauge market sentiment. High bullish body percentages might indicate strong buying pressure, while high bearish body percentages could suggest significant selling pressure.
Strategic Decision Making: By providing a clearer picture of market sentiment over a user-defined period, the script aids in making informed trading decisions, potentially enhancing trading strategies that are sensitive to trends and market momentum.
Wick Percentages TableThis script is designed to calculate and display the percentage representation of wick lengths in relation to the total candle range for the last 100 candles on a trading chart. Here's a breakdown of its functionality:
Indicator Initialization: It sets up an indicator named "Wick Percentages Table" (WPT) that overlays on the trading chart.
Variables Initialization: The script initializes variables to store the total lengths of top wicks, bottom wicks, and the total ranges for the last 100 candles.
Wick and Range Calculations: For the past 100 candles, it calculates:
The length of the top wick (the distance between the high and the higher of the open or close).
The length of the bottom wick (the distance between the low and the lower of the open or close).
The total range of each candle (the distance between the high and the low).
Percentage Calculations: It computes the top and bottom wick lengths as percentages of the total candle range across the last 100 candles.
Table Display: It creates or updates a table displayed on the top right of the chart showing these percentages. The table has two rows: one for the "Top Wick %" and another for the "Bottom Wick %", with the corresponding percentages calculated and displayed.
Visibility Maintenance: It plots a dummy variable to ensure the indicator's visibility on the chart.
The purpose of this script is to provide traders with a visual representation of the wick lengths as percentages, offering insights into market behavior and potential price movements based on recent candlestick patterns. It aids in assessing market volatility and trader sentiment through the analysis of wick lengths relative to the total candle sizes.

Any improvements to this code would be more then welcome.
I was getting an error in line 30, the only thing I could find was to comment it out.
Liquidity Grabs | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Liquidity Grabs indicator! This indicator can renders bubbles with different sizes at candles that have liquidity grabs, which happen when a liquidity areas (buyside / sellside liquidity) is swept. These candles often fill a lot of market orders that were sitting on the liquidity zone. You can check "How Does It Work" section for more information.
Features of the new Liquidity Grabs Indicator :
Renders Liquidity Grabs
Customizable Algorithm
Customizable Styles
Alerts
🚩UNIQUENESS
Liquidity grabs can be useful when determining candles that have executed a lot of market orders, and planning your trades accordingly. This indicator renders liquidity grabs in an unique bubble style, the size of the bubble is calculated by the size of the wick that caused the liquidity grab. The indicator also lets you customize the pivot length and the wick-body ratio for liquidity grabs.
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
Liquidity grabs occur when one of the latest pivots has a false breakout. Then, if the wick to body ratio of the bar is higher than 0.5 (can be changed from the settings) a bubble is plotted. Using the wick length as a metric to measure liquidity is good because long wicks can translate to a large amount of buyers / sellers entering the market.
The bubble size is determined by the wick to body ratio of the candle.
⚙️SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Pivot Length -> This setting determines the range of the pivots. This means a candle has to have the highest / lowest wick of the previous X bars and the next X bars to become a high / low pivot.
Wick-Body Ratio -> After a pivot has a false breakout, the wick-body ratio of the latest candle is tested. The resulting ratio must be higher than this setting for it to be considered as a liquidity grab.
Astro-CandlesThis script is just for fun.
It generates a Planet and a Zodiac Sign at the close of each candle.
The candle is "sliced" into 7 sections, one for each Planet and the close lands in one of those sections.
The candle is "sliced" into 12 sections, one for each Zodiac and the open lands in one of those sections.
You could use it to generate a quick "answer" to a question.
You could use to contemplate your day if you use the daily candle.
You could even try to use it to trade and make some money, somehow.
Every combination should be possible, Moon in Aries, Mars in Capricorn, whatever.
Since it's based on candle structure, it might yield some interesting information.
Or not!

It's All MidsIt's All Mids extends mid-lines of a candle forward until the price revisits (covers) the midpoint. A higher timeframe can be used for the mid candles than the chart (but not the reverse). There is no data to support this is a meaningful concept.
While this script is intended to be functional, correct and useful it is important that you understand that not only is this the first script I've written but also that "I am an idiot."(tm) Using a stranger's indicator is questionable, but using a self-proclaimed idiot's indicator to trade real money is unquestionably stupid. Don't be like me. Be smart. You are responsible for what you do with this script. The source is unlocked, so feel free to copy and modify it.
Terms:
- A "mid" is the (high+low)/2 price of a previous candle that has not been auctioned since the candle close. All candles will initially have a mid unless they close on exactly their midpoint.
- A "covered" mid is a mid for which the midpoint has been auctioned since the candle closed. There is an option to display a number of these so that when a mid is hit the line doesn't just disappear from the chart and you forget what you were doing.
- A "low priority" mid is the mid of a candle which was auctioned in the previous candle(s) (chart's timeframe, not the mid's timeframe)-- chopchopchop. I have no data to show that this matters, or really, that anything matters at all.
My use: I chart a 60m mid on ES on a 5 or 15 minute chart. I am lying. I use it for something else but if I tell you that then I give away my incredible alpha that has made me so rich I can spend my time crying in corner about all the money I've lost.
CBO (Candle Bias Oscillator)The Candle Bias Oscillator (CBO) with volume and ATR scaling is a unique technical analysis tool designed to capture market sentiment through the analysis of candlestick patterns, volume momentum, and market volatility. This indicator is built on the foundation of assessing the bias within a candlestick's body and wicks, adjusted for market volatility using the Average True Range (ATR), and further refined by comparing the Rate of Change (ROC) in volume and the adjusted bias. The culmination of these calculations results in the CBO, a smoothed oscillator that highlights potential market turning points through divergence analysis.
Key Features:
Bias Calculations: Utilizes the relationship between the candle's body and wicks to determine the market's immediate bias, offering a nuanced view beyond simple price action. Have you ever wanted to quantify exactly how bullish or bearish a particular candle or candlestick pattern is? Whether it's dojis, hammers, engulfing, gravestones, evening morning star, three soldiers etc. you don't have to memorize 50 candlestick patterns anymore.
Volatility Adjustment: Employs the ATR to adjust the bias calculation, ensuring the oscillator remains relevant across varying market conditions by accounting for volatility.
Momentum and Divergence: Measures the momentum in volume and bias through ROC calculations, identifying divergence that may signal reversals or significant price movements.
Signal Line: A smoothed version of the CBO, derived from its own values, serving as a benchmark for identifying potential crossovers and divergences.
Utility and Application:
The CBO with Divergence Scaling is developed for traders who seek a deeper understanding of market dynamics beyond price movements alone. It is particularly useful for identifying potential reversals or continuation patterns early, by highlighting divergence between market sentiment (as expressed through candlestick bias) and actual volume movements. In this way, it aligns us retail traders with institutional traders and smart money. This indicator is versatile and can be applied across various time frames and market instruments, offering value to both short-term traders and long-term investors.
How to Use:
Trend Identification: The direction and value of the CBO provide insights into the prevailing market trend. A positive oscillator value may indicate bullish sentiment, while a negative value suggests bearish sentiment.
Signal Line Crossovers: Crossovers between the CBO and its signal line can be used as potential buy or sell signals. A crossover above the signal line might indicate a buying opportunity, whereas a crossover below could suggest a selling point.
Divergence: Discrepancies between the CBO and price action (especially when confirmed by volume ROC) can highlight potential reversals.
Customization and Parameters: This script allows users to adjust several parameters, including oscillator periods, signal line periods, ATR periods, and ROC periods for divergence, to best fit their trading strategy and the characteristics of the market they are analyzing.
Conclusion:
The Custom Bias Oscillator with Divergence Scaling is a comprehensive tool designed to offer traders a multi-faceted view of market conditions, combining elements of price action, volatility, and momentum. By integrating these aspects into a single indicator, it aims to provide a more rounded and actionable insight into market trends and potential turning points.
