Candlestick analysis
Multi-Timeframe Candle Analysis [by Oberlunar]Multi-Timeframe Candle Analysis
Scalping often requires traders to make rapid decisions based on price movements within a short timeframe. However, a key challenge is understanding the broader trend and market pressure across higher timeframes without cluttering the workspace with multiple charts. This can lead to a lack of clarity, missed opportunities, or poorly timed trades.
The Multi-Timeframe Candle Analysis script addresses this challenge by providing a consolidated view of essential information across multiple timeframes in a single interface. This script calculates and displays the volatility, strength, and type (bullish or bearish) of candles for up to six customizable timeframes. With this data presented in a neat table, traders can quickly assess market conditions without the need to open multiple charts.
How It Works
The script analyzes six user-defined timeframes, ranging from intraday intervals (e.g., 15 or 30 minutes) to daily or even weekly periods. It extracts critical data such as open, high, low, and close prices for the current and previous candles. From this data, the script computes:
Candle Type: Identifies whether the candle is bullish or bearish based on the close relative to the open.
Volatility Percentage Change: Measures the percentage change in candle volatility compared to the previous candle.
Candle Strength: Evaluates the strength of price movements within the candle relative to the previous one.
These metrics are organized into an easy-to-read table that updates dynamically as the market moves. The table color codes bullish and bearish candles for quick visual recognition, enhancing decision-making speed.

Magic Candles PRO [MW]The Magic Candles indicator provides users with low risk/high reward entries on small candles with big volume. It uses calculations that uniquely define high volume/low price movement (volume hammer) candles and engulfing pattern candles. In theory, measuring a volume hammer candle seems relatively simple, but it is in the definition of high and low with respect to volume and price movement, and with respect to each other that requires a novel method of defining the relationship. The definition that is ultimately used gives users the ability to identify candles that typically precede large price movements, because the volume necessary to drive the price exists by definition even though it is not reflected in the size of the current candle.
Similarly, engulfing candle patterns are useful because they show an acceleration of price movement from the previous candle. The difficulty in calculating engulfing candles, as with volume hammer candles, is in the interpretation of candle size, or “engulfing”. In many cases, engulfing simply means that a candle has reversed direction from the previous candle, and the body of the previous candle sits between the open and close of the new candle. Sometimes wicks are used, sometimes they aren’t. Our differentiation is that we allow the user to change “engulfing” to their preference, so that it can include candle bodies, full candles, dojis, and candle patterns where the body of the previous candle is not necessarily in between the open and close of the new candle. It also uses a double stochastic calculation on ATRs that filter out engulfing candles that may not be as meaningful.
Settings
Volume Hammer Candles
ATR Period: The ATR period that is used to compare the candle size against. (Default: 5)
Candle Portion to Use: The candle size can be defined as just the body, or the entire candle. (Default: Candle Body)
Volume Absorption Threshold: The threshold for the volume ratio relative to the candle size ratio. (Default: 4.5)
Volume ATR Period: The ATR period that is used to compare the volume against. (Default: 3)
3 Consecutive Volume increases and 3 Bullish Candles: (Default: ON)
3 Consecutive Volume Increases and 3 Bearish Candles: (Default: ON)
2 Consecutive Volume increases Prior to Current Candle: (Default: ON)
Engulfing Pattern Candles
Show Engulfing Candles: (Default: ON)
Include Candle Wicks in Calculation: (Default: ON)
Show Bullish Candles: (Default: ON)
Show Bearish Candles: (Default: ON)
Use Dojis for Reversed Candles: Typically engulfing candles are compared against candles that are in the opposite direction of the new candle. However, dojis, or candles with small candle bodies and relatively large wicks, can be optionally used to measure against. (Default: OFF)
ATR Period 1: We use 2 levels of stochastic calculation to compare against in order to determine if an engulfing candle is valid. This is the shorter period ATR. (Default: 14)
ATR Period 2: The 2nd of 2 ATR periods used in a 2-level stochastic calculation that’s used to evaluate valid engulfing candles. (Default: 21)
Stochastic Period: The Stochastic Period used for both levels of ATR calculations. (Default: 14)
Smoothing: The period used to “smooth” the stochastic curves. (Default: 3)
Calculations
This indicator uses a comparison between relative volume (raw volume compared to its average true range) and relative price action as determined by candle size (specifically, candle size compared to the average true range of the candle size). The ratio between the relative volume and relative price action are compared as a ratio. Once that ratio hits a defined threshold a signal is generated in the form of a bright yellow bar, which we refer to as a “volume hammer”, because of the heavy volume acting on an unmoving object (price).
The indicator also identifies engulfing candle patterns by
Determining the candle body size or full candle size.
Checking to see if there was a reversal of direction, or checking to see if the first candle was a doji (small body with relatively large wicks).
Calculating the stochastic ATR patterns across two periods in order to normalize the ATR behavior for comparison.
Calculating the delta between those stochastic ATRs
Calculating the stochastic patterns of the delta between the stochastic ATRs to add further sensitivity to the comparison between candles.
How to Use
Volume Hammer
When a bright yellow bar appears in the lower window it means that the ratio of relative volume to relative price movement is very high, which indicates that a volatile move will occur within the next candle or so. In this scenario using a small risk that is not much larger than the candle itself can be paired with a large reward/risk ratio when setting a take profit target.
For example, if the body of a candle has a range of less than $0.02 and the full candle is less than $0.10 in range, then a $0.10 stop can be used with the expectation that the large volume will generate a volatile move in one direction or the other. The expected move is generally 3x the size of the full candle, but typically more.
Sometimes, however, that 3x move will reverse and turn into even a larger move in the opposite direction if a key support or resistance level is hit. So, it is very useful to use this indicator with a tool that can identify key support/demand zones and resistance/supply zones such as the Magic Order Blocks or QQQ and SPY Price Levels for equities based on the NASDAQ and S&P 500. It can also be combined with indicators that provide upper and lower bounds like Magic Linear Regression Channel , ATR Bands (Keltner Channel) Wick and SRSI Signals , and/or Bollinger Band Wick and SRSI Signals .
Additionally, the bright yellow candles have color-coded indicators that reflect the behavior of preceding volume behavior.
- Orange Dot - 3 consecutive candles of increasing volume
- Green Dot - 3 consecutive candles of increasing volume with a bullish candle pattern
- Red Dot - 3 consecutive candles of increasing volume with a bearish candle pattern
- Blue Dot - 2 consecutive candles of increasing volume followed by a candle with volume that is greater than the starting candle.
These only reflect the volume and candle pattern. They can provide insight, but should not be used as buy or sell signals, especially when encountered at key price levels.
Engulfing Candle Pattern
Frequently, the bright yellow bar in the lower window will be followed by an engulfing candle in the main chart. Engulfing candle patterns can themselves be useful on their own in a market that is not highly volatile. They tend to be indicative of price reversals, or trend continuations following consolidation. Following an engulfing candle, risk can be set at the “far end” of the candle with the expectation that if it does accurately define the direction, then the price will be less likely to go back to the candle’s starting price.
Other Usage Notes and Limitations
Occasionally a large gray bar will appear that is above the relative volume to relative candle size threshold. This indicates that although there is little price movement when compared to the volume, the actual volume is trailing off. This could lead to a quick move in a bullish or bearish direction, but it potentially would not be as sustained as in the case where volume has been consistently rising.
There are also faded yellow bars that appear when volume is increasing when the relative price movement is small. However, when the ratio of the relative volume is not large enough when compared to the price movement (i.e. it does not meet the threshold requirement) its color remains a dim yellow color.
It's important for traders to be aware of the limitations of any indicator and to use them as part of a broader, well-rounded trading strategy that includes risk management, fundamental analysis, and other tools that can help with reducing false signals, determining trend direction, and providing additional confirmation for a trade decision. Diversifying strategies and not relying solely on one type of indicator or analysis can help mitigate some of these risks.

Fair Value Gap [by Oberlunar]Fair Value Gap
This indicator is designed to identify and display Fair Value Gaps (FVG) on the price chart. Fair Value Gaps are areas between candles where the price lacks continuity, leaving a "gap" that can serve as a reference point for price retracements. These zones are often considered important by traders as they represent market imbalances that tend to be "mitigated" (i.e., filled or tested) over time.
Purpose of Publication
This indicator addresses a common gap in FVG indicators. Most existing FVG indicators do not visually distinguish between mitigated (touched) FVGs and those that remain intact. With this indicator:
Mitigated FVGs are clearly displayed with distinct colors, allowing traders to identify which zones have been partially or fully filled by the price.
Unmitigated FVGs remain prominent, representing potential points of interest.
Key Features
Identification of Fair Value Gaps:
A Bullish FVG (upward gap) forms when the high of the three previous candles (candle -3) is lower than the low of the next candle (candle -1).
A Bearish FVG (downward gap) forms when the low of the three previous candles (candle -3) is higher than the high of the next candle (candle -1).
Dynamic Coloring:
Unmitigated FVGs are highlighted with specific colors: green for Bullish and red for Bearish gaps.
When an FVG is "touched" by the price (i.e., mitigated), the color changes:
Yellow-green for mitigated Bullish FVGs.
Purple for mitigated Bearish FVGs.
Handling Mitigated FVGs:
When an FVG is touched by the price, it is visually updated with a different color.
An option can be enabled to "shrink" the mitigated zone, adjusting the box to reflect the remaining untested portion of the gap.
Customization:
Configure the maximum number of FVGs to display on the chart.
Set specific colors for mitigated and unmitigated FVGs.
Choose whether to automatically shrink mitigated zones.
How to Identify Support and Resistance Levels
Support:
Bullish FVGs represent potential support levels, as they indicate areas where the price might return to seek liquidity or fill the imbalance.
An FVG that is repeatedly touched without being fully filled becomes a significant support zone.
Resistance:
Bearish FVGs represent potential resistance levels, indicating zones where the price might stall or reverse direction.
Why a Repeatedly Mitigated FVG is Significant
When an FVG is touched or mitigated multiple times, it means the market recognizes that area as significant. This can happen for several reasons:
Accumulation or Distribution: Institutional traders may use these zones to accumulate or distribute positions without causing excessive market movement.
Presence of Liquidity: FVGs often represent areas with pending orders (stop-losses, limit orders), and the price revisits these zones to seek liquidity.
Market Equilibrium: When an FVG is repeatedly filled, it indicates the market's attempt to balance a demand-supply imbalance. This makes the zone an important level to monitor for potential breakouts or reversals.

Intrabar BoxPlotThe Intrabar BoxPlot publication highlights an uncommon technique by displaying statistical intrabar Lower Timeframe (LTF) values on the chart.
🔶 USAGE
🔹 Middle 50% Boxes
By showing the middle 50% intrabar values through a box, we can more easily see where the intrabar activity is mainly situated.
The middle 50% intrabar values are referred to from here on as Interquartile range (IQR).
In this example, the successive IQRs form a channel where the price eventually breaks out.
Disproportionately distributed values can give insights which can be used to find potential support/resistance areas.
IQR gaps can give valuable information as well. Potentially, the price can return to these gaps.
Seeing the IQR areas against regular candles gives an alternative image of the underlying price movements.
🔹 Highest volume Price level
The script displays the price level with the highest volume situated, dependable on the user's source setting. Setting the source at 'close' will only display intrabar close values; the same goes for high, low, ...
As seen in the above example, the volume levels can aid in finding support/resistance.
🔹 Median
The location of the median off all intrabar values is displayed as a coloured dot: green when the close price is higher than the opening price and red if otherwise. The median can give valuable insights into price movements.
🔹 Outliers
Medium (white dots) and extreme (white X) outliers, in combination with the IQR box, can help identify potential areas of interest.
🔹 Volume Delta
When there is a discrepancy between the delta volume and direction of the candle, this will be displayed as follows:
Green candle: when the sum of the volume of red intrabars is higher than the sum of the volume of green intrabars, the candle will be coloured orange.
Red candle: when the sum of the volume of green intrabars is higher than the sum of the volume of red intrabars, the candle will be coloured blue.
🔹 Highlight Boxplot only
Probably the easiest way to display boxplot only is by changing the Bar's style to Bars .
🔶 DETAILS
All intrabar values (Lower TimeFrame - LTF) are sorted and evaluated. Values can be close , high , low , ... by selecting this in Settings ( source ).
The middle 50% of all values are displayed as a box; this contains the values between percentile 25 (p25) and percentile 75 (p75). The value of percentile rank 75 means 75% of all values are lower. The value of percentile rank 25 means 25% of all values are lower, or 75% is higher.
The difference between p75 and p25 is also known as Interquartile range (IQR)
IQR is used to check for outliers.
Wiki: Boxplot , Interquartile range
Extreme high: maximum value, higher than p75 + IQR*3
Max outlier high: maximum value, higher than p75 + IQR*1.5 but lower than p75 + IQR*3
Max: maximum value, lower than p75 + IQR*1.5
Min: minimum value, higher than p25 - IQR*1.5
Min outlier low: minimum value, lower than p25 - IQR*1.5 but higher than p25 - IQR*3
Extreme low: minimum value, lower than p25 - IQR*3
Max and min must not be interpreted with the current candle high/low.
🔹 Example: Length of chart-puppets
The following example can make it easier to digest. Forty "chart-puppets" are sorted by their length.
The p25 value is 97
The p50 value is 120
The p75 value is 149
75% of all "chart-puppets" are smaller than p75, and 25% is larger than p75.
50% of all "chart-puppets" are smaller than p50, and 50% is larger than p50 (= median).
25% of all "chart-puppets" are smaller than p25, and 75% is larger than p25.
IQR = 149 - 97 = 52
Extreme outlier limit max: p75 + IQR*3 = 149 + 52*3 = 305
Mild outlier limit max: p75 + IQR*1.5 = 149 + 52*1.5 = 227
Mild outlier limit min: p25 - IQR*1.5 = 97 - 52*1.5 = 19
Extreme outlier limit min: p25 - IQR*3 = 97 - 52*3 = -59
In this example there are no outliers to be found, all values are located between p25 - IQR*1.5 (19) and p75 + IQR*1.5. (227)
🔹 Source settings
Note that results are dependable on the chosen source (settings). When, for example, close is chosen as the source, only intrabar close prices are included. This means a low or high can stretch further then the min or max.
Here we can see different results with different source settings
🔹 LTF settings
When 'Auto' is enabled (Settings, LTF), the LTF will be the nearest possible x times smaller TF than the current TF. When 'Premium' is disabled, the minimum TF will always be 1 minute to ensure TradingView plans lower than Premium don't get an error.
Examples with current Daily TF (when Premium is enabled):
500 : 3 minute LTF
1500 (default): 1 minute LTF
5000: 30 seconds LTF (1 minute if Premium is disabled)
🔶 SETTINGS
Source: Set source at close, high, low,...
🔹 LTF

Volume Delta Candles HTF [TradingFinder] LTF Volume Candles 🔵 Introduction
In financial markets, understanding the concepts of supply and demand and their impact on price movements is of paramount importance. Supply and demand, as fundamental pillars of economics, reflect the interaction between buyers and sellers.
When buyers' strength surpasses that of sellers, demand increases, and prices tend to rise. Conversely, when sellers dominate buyers, supply overtakes demand, causing prices to drop. These interactions play a crucial role in determining market trends, price reversal points, and trading decisions.
Volume Delta Candles offer traders a practical way to visualize trading activity within each candlestick. By integrating data from lower timeframes or live market feeds, these candles eliminate the need for standalone volume indicators.
They present the proportions of buying and selling volume as intuitive colored bars, making it easier to interpret market dynamics at a glance. Additionally, they encapsulate critical metrics like peak delta, lowest delta, and net delta, allowing traders to grasp the market's internal order flow with greater precision.
In financial markets, grasping the interplay between supply and demand and its influence on price movements is crucial for successful trading. These fundamental economic forces reflect the ongoing balance between buyers and sellers in the market.
When buyers exert greater strength than sellers, demand dominates, driving prices upward. Conversely, when sellers take control, supply surpasses demand, and prices decline. Understanding these dynamics is essential for identifying market trends, pinpointing reversal points, and making informed trading decisions.
Volume Delta Candles provide an innovative method for evaluating trading activity within individual candlesticks, offering a simplified view without relying on separate volume indicators. By leveraging lower timeframe or real-time data, this tool visualizes the distribution of buying and selling volumes within a candle through color-coded bars.
This visual representation enables traders to quickly assess market sentiment and understand the forces driving price action. Buyer and seller strength is a critical concept that focuses on the ratio of buying to selling volumes. This ratio not only provides insights into the market's current state but also serves as a leading indicator for detecting potential shifts in trends.
Traders often rely on volume analysis to identify significant supply and demand zones, guiding their entry and exit strategies. Delta Candles translate these complex metrics, such as Maximum Delta, Minimum Delta, and Final Delta, into an easy-to-read visual format using Japanese candlestick structures, making them an invaluable resource for analyzing order flows and market momentum.
By merging the principles of supply and demand with comprehensive volume analysis, tools like the indicator introduced here offer unparalleled clarity into market behavior. This indicator calculates the relative strength of supply and demand for each candlestick by analyzing the ratio of buyers to sellers.
🔵 How to Use
The presented indicator is a powerful tool for analyzing supply and demand strength in financial markets. It helps traders identify the strengths and weaknesses of buyers and sellers and utilize this information for better decision-making.
🟣 Analyzing the Highest Volume Trades on Candles
A unique feature of this indicator is the visualization of price levels with the highest trade volume for each candlestick. These levels are marked as black lines on the candles, indicating prices where most trades occurred. This information is invaluable for identifying key supply and demand zones, which often act as support or resistance levels.
🟣 Trend Confirmation
The indicator enables traders to confirm bullish or bearish trends by observing changes in buyer and seller strength. When buyer strength increases and demand surpasses supply, the likelihood of a bullish trend continuation grows. Conversely, decreasing buyer strength and increasing seller strength may signal a potential bearish trend reversal.

Support and Resistance TrendlinesStrategy:
Support: Identified as the lowest low over a specific period.
Resistance: Identified as the highest high over a specific period.
Dynamic Trendlines: We’ll use the concept of a rolling window to calculate the highest highs and lowest lows over the last n bars (you can adjust the number of bars for more sensitivity).
Explanation:
Lookback Period (length): The number of bars over which we calculate the support and resistance levels. You can adjust this value depending on the timeframe and the sensitivity you want for the trendlines.
Resistance: This is the highest high over the length of bars. We use ta.highest(high, length) to find the highest high within the specified lookback period.
Support: This is the lowest low over the length of bars. We use ta.lowest(low, length) to find the lowest low within the specified lookback period.
Plotting the Lines:
We plot the support and resistance as horizontal lines on the chart using plot().
Additionally, we create dynamic trendlines that update automatically with each new bar. The line.new function creates lines that can be modified dynamically as new price data comes in.
Line Persistence:
The line functions are used to create horizontal lines that persist across bars. The trendlines adjust their position as the bars move forward.
How It Works:
This indicator will automatically detect the highest and lowest prices over the last n bars and draw support (green line) and resistance (red line) levels on the chart.
The trendlines will adjust as the market evolves and provide visual reference points for potential areas of price reversal.
How to Use This Script:
Copy and paste the Pine Script code into the Pine Script Editor on TradingView.
Save the script, and then add it to your chart.
Adjust the Lookback Period input to suit your trading strategy and timeframe.
The support and resistance levels will be drawn dynamically, and the lines will update as new bars form.
Customizations:
You can modify the number of bars (length) used to calculate support and resistance, depending on the timeframes you're interested in.
If you need more advanced trendline drawing (such as drawing trendlines between significant high/low points or automatic adjustment to more complex patterns), you might need to implement more advanced logic using peaks and valleys or price action patterns.

Strategy Impulse Pivot EU - [AstroHub]The strategy is built on analyzing market impulses and their intensity. Its main goal is to help traders identify critical market moments when significant changes occur, signaling either a trend continuation or reversal.
Core Methodology
Impulse Movement
Measured by the difference between the current price and the previous bar’s price.
The indicator filters out minor fluctuations, focusing on meaningful changes.
Color Interpretation
Candles are color-coded based on the strength and direction of the impulse, providing a quick graphical understanding:
Green candles: Indicate moderate price growth, potentially signaling the end of the current trend.
Red candles: Reflect moderate price decline, possibly indicating a trend reversal.
Orange candles: Highlight strong price movements in either direction, signaling a potential trend continuation or reversal.
When a Signal Appears
Impulse Threshold : The price must change by at least a specified number of pips (e.g., 30 pips). This filters out weak movements.
Movement Intensity : Impulse is calculated and compared against threshold values to determine the signal’s strength.
Time Filter : Signals are generated 10 seconds before the hourly bar closes (at 59 minutes and 50 seconds). This ensures traders can prepare to act promptly.
Interpreting the Signals
Green Candle
Moderate price growth: A possible moment to take profit on long positions or open short positions.
Red Candle
Moderate price decline: A potential signal to open long positions or close short positions.
Orange Candle
Strong impulse movement:
If the price rises: A likely continuation of an upward trend.
If the price falls: A probable intensification of the downward trend.

1-3-1 Strat Combo with 50% Level (12h)Logic Explanation
1-3-1 Combo Detection:
The script detects the 1-3-1 pattern using the previous 3 candles:
Candle 4: Inside Bar (Type 1).
Candle 3: Outside Bar (Type 3).
Candle 2: Inside Bar (Type 1).
4th Candle Behavior:
If the 4th candle (current bar):
Stays an inside bar (Type 1) → isFourthInsideBar is true.
Becomes a directional bar (Type 2) → isFourthDirectional is true.
If either of these conditions is true, the script stops calculating and waits for the next valid 1-3-1 setup.
50% Level Calculation:
If the conditions are not met (e.g., the 4th candle doesn’t stop the pattern), the script:
Plots a dotted line at the 50% level of the 3rd candle.
Adds a label showing the 50% level.
Stop Calculations:
No line, box, or label is drawn if the 4th candle is a Type 1 (inside bar) or Type 2 (directional bar).
Visual Outputs:
Dotted Box: Marks the 1-3-1 combo setup.
50% Line: Drawn only if the 4th candle does not invalidate the pattern.
Label: Displays the 50% level of the 3rd candle.
How to Use:
Apply this script on the 12-hour chart.
The script will:
Detect valid 1-3-1 patterns.
Stop drawing any calculations if the 4th candle is an inside bar (1) or a directional bar (2).
Wait for the next valid 1-3-1 combo.

Refined SMA/EMA Crossover with Ichimoku and 200 SMA FilterYour **Refined SMA/EMA Crossover with Ichimoku and 200 SMA Filter** strategy is a multi-faceted technical trading strategy that combines several key technical indicators to refine entry and exit points for trades. Here's a breakdown of the components and how they work together:
### 1. **SMA/EMA Crossover**
- **Simple Moving Average (SMA) & Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Crossover**:
- The core idea behind the crossover strategy is to use the relationship between two moving averages to generate buy or sell signals.
- **SMA** (Simple Moving Average) gives an average of past prices over a set period.
- **EMA** (Exponential Moving Average) places more weight on recent prices, making it more responsive to price movements.
- A **bullish crossover** occurs when a shorter period moving average (such as a 50-period EMA) crosses above a longer period moving average (such as a 200-period SMA), signaling a potential buy.
- A **bearish crossover** occurs when a shorter period moving average crosses below the longer period moving average, signaling a potential sell.
### 2. **Ichimoku Cloud**
- The **Ichimoku Cloud** is a versatile indicator that provides insight into trend direction, support and resistance levels, and momentum.
- **Cloud (Kumo)**: The space between the Senkou Span A and Senkou Span B lines. It helps identify whether the market is in an uptrend, downtrend, or consolidation.
- **Tenkan-sen** (Conversion Line) and **Kijun-sen** (Base Line): These lines are used for additional confirmation of trend direction.
- **Chikou Span**: A lagging line that is used to confirm the trend.
- The general trading rules based on the Ichimoku Cloud are:
- **Bullish Signal**: When the price is above the cloud and the Tenkan-sen crosses above the Kijun-sen.
- **Bearish Signal**: When the price is below the cloud and the Tenkan-sen crosses below the Kijun-sen.
### 3. **200 SMA Filter**
- The **200 SMA Filter** serves as a long-term trend filter.
- When the price is **above the 200 SMA**, it signals a long-term bullish trend, and you only look for buying opportunities.
- When the price is **below the 200 SMA**, it signals a long-term bearish trend, and you only look for selling opportunities.
- This filter helps to avoid counter-trend trades, aligning your positions with the broader market trend.
### **How the Strategy Works Together**
- **Trade Setup (Long Position)**
1. The **200 SMA Filter** must confirm an **uptrend** by ensuring that the price is above the 200 SMA.
2. A **bullish crossover** (e.g., the 50 EMA crossing above the 200 SMA) occurs.
3. **Ichimoku Cloud** confirms a bullish trend, with the price above the cloud and the Tenkan-sen crossing above the Kijun-sen.
4. You enter a **long trade** with this confluence of signals.
- **Trade Setup (Short Position)**
1. The **200 SMA Filter** must confirm a **downtrend** by ensuring the price is below the 200 SMA.
2. A **bearish crossover** (e.g., the 50 EMA crossing below the 200 SMA) occurs.
3. **Ichimoku Cloud** confirms a bearish trend, with the price below the cloud and the Tenkan-sen crossing below the Kijun-sen.
4. You enter a **short trade** with this confluence of signals.
### **Exit Strategy**
- Exits can be determined based on any of the following:
- **SMA/EMA crossover reversal**: Exit when the shorter-term moving average crosses back below the longer-term moving average for a long position or crosses above for a short position.
- **Ichimoku Cloud reversal**: If the price breaks through the cloud or the Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen lines cross in the opposite direction.
- **Profit target or stop loss**: Setting predefined profit targets or using a trailing stop to lock in profits as the trade moves in your favor.
Summary of the Strategy
This strategy is designed to identify strong trends and avoid false signals by combining:
SMA/EMA crossovers for immediate market direction signals.
Ichimoku Cloud for confirming the strength and trend direction.
A 200
SMA filter to ensure trades align with the long-term trend.
By using these multiple indicators together, the strategy aims to refine entry and exit points, minimize risk, and increase the likelihood of successful trades.
Inside Bar Breakout/Fakeout with AI Scenarios [Yosiet]Inside Bar Breakout/Fakeout Indicator with Scenarios

Raiks 3am Model & NQ MacrosThis indicator marks the 2 am candle (which is where we start our trading session and look for entries), and the 3 am candle with a dynamic background color feature. If the 3 am candle is bullish the background will be green. If the 3 am candle is bearish, the background will be red.
The 2 am candle Is there to make it easier to backtest and forward test when the trading session begins for this 3 am model. E.g. if at 2:10 you see a big bearish imbalance, you can enter off the retest/fill of the imbalance and target the nearest lows/highs imbalances or key levels on the left of the chart before 2 am aka the asian session range.
The significance of the 3 a.m. candle is a key part of my 3 a.m. model. Looking at the 5-minute chart only, If the 3 a.m. candle is bullish, then our market bias for the rest of the day is also bullish, and starting from the 3 am candle (once it has closed), we should look for bullish entry setups—and vice versa.
For Nasdaq or S&P500 only: If no setups can be found between 3 am and 9 am New York time (UTC-5), then look for entry setups within the ICT NY Macro timezones using the ICT market maker sell model (if we are bearish and looking for sells) or the market maker buy model (if we are bullish and looking for buys).
PS: This Strategy only requires you to use the 5-minute chart, starting from the 2 am candle up to the end of the trading day for entries and exits. Optionally, you can scale down to a 1-minute chart to refine your entries even better.
Backtest this model and you'll be surprised at how powerful the 3 am candle Is at determining daily bias!
Have Fun using this indicator :)
