Trend ChameleonThe Trend Chameleon, originally developed by Alex Cole for the Bloomberg Terminal, is a powerful tool designed to simplify trend identification and illuminate potential trading opportunities. It leverages a clear visual display to decode market movements, making it useful for traders of all experience levels.
🟠 Overview
Here's an illustration of how the indicator performs for ES (S&P 500 E-mini Future) on the daily chart:
Trend Chameleon employs a color-coded candle scheme, with each color corresponding to a specific level of trend strength. Purple candles represent the strongest bearish trends, while teal candles signal the most potent bullish momentum. Between these extremes lie red, yellow, and green candles, providing a spectrum of trend direction. This intuitive color coding allows you to quickly grasp the prevailing market sentiment and identify potential entry and exit points for your trades.
🟠 Algorithm
Under the hood, Trend Chameleon evaluates four conditions to provide a directional strength score:
1. Whether the MACD value is positive.
2. Whether the SMA 50 of open prices is above the SMA 50 of the close prices.
3. Whether the ROC indicator value is positive.
4. Whether the current close price is above the SMA 50.
The total number of fulfilled conditions (0 to 4) determines the trend strength, with 0 indicating the most bearish and 4 signifying the strongest bullish trend. This score is then visually represented by coloring the bars on the chart.
🟠 Note
If you don't see the bars being properly colored after adding this indicator, please ensure Trend Chameleon is positioned on top of all other indicators in your chart. This can be easily achieved by hovering over the indicator's name, clicking the three dots, selecting "Visual Order," and then choosing "Bring to front."

Triple EMA Distance IndicatorTriple EMA Distance Indicator
The Triple EMA Distance indicator comprises two sets of triple exponential moving averages (EMAs). One set uses the same smoothing length for all EMAs, while the other set doubles the length for the last EMA. This indicator provides visual cues based on the relationship between these EMAs and candlestick patterns.
Blue Condition:
Indicates when the fast EMA is above the slow EMA.
The distance between the two EMAs is increasing.
Candlesticks and EMAs are colored light blue.
Orange Condition:
Activates when the fast EMA is below the slow EMA.
The distance between the two EMAs is increasing.
Candlesticks and EMAs are colored orange.
Beige Condition:
Occurs when the fast EMA is below the slow EMA.
The distance between the two EMAs is decreasing.
Candlesticks and EMAs are colored beige.
Light Blue Condition:
Represents when the fast EMA is above the slow EMA.
The distance between the two EMAs is decreasing.
Candlesticks and EMAs are colored light blue.
Gradient Candles
The Gradient Candles indicator is crafted to be a comprehensive replacement for default candlesticks, offering users an enhanced and visually stunning alternative. To experience the intended results and fully immerse in the distinctive features of Gradient Candles, it's recommended to hide the default candlesticks. This ensures that traders can fully appreciate the unique color gradient and dynamic visual representation that this indicator brings to chart analysis.
Designed to elevate chart analysis, Gradient Candles not only offer a fresh perspective on price movements but also captivate users with their visually appealing representation of market dynamics. Departing from traditional candlestick coloration, the dynamic adaptation of colors, the 'color.from_gradient()' function plays a pivotal role in translating the current source value into a color that reflects its proximity to the highest and lowest values and corresponding colors. Beyond its analytical capabilities, Gradient Candles transform market analysis into an aesthetically enriching experience, providing traders with a unique and comprehensive tool for their technical analysis toolkit.
Traders can tailor the indicator's appearance to suit their preferences and seamlessly integrate it into their personal trading environment. From color inversion to transparency adjustments and the option to fill candles instead of outlining them, the customization features empower users to create a visual representation that aligns precisely with their unique preferences.
Candle Color By OHLC ComparisonThis indicator is designed to help you recognize the price movements within a candle/bar more quickly and easily. Typically, candle coloring is based on the opening and closing prices, but in this indicator, I followed the OHLC values in reverse order: starting with closing, low, high, and then opening. Each of these is compared with the value in the previous candle. I assigned the least importance to the opening, hence did not include it in the color determination. To make the colors memorable, I used a rainbow-like color scale; with purple representing the highest value and maroon the lowest. You can also change the colors if you wish. Additionally, if you want to set alarms, I assigned values to the candles; the highest being 16 and the lowest 1. A thicker barchart provides a better visual representation.
For instance, consider the monthly chart of the NASDAQ 100. After a prolonged positive trend, when our indicator shows a negative maroon bar (representing a low value) for the first time, it could signal a change in the trend direction. In this scenario, the appearance of the maroon bar serves as a crucial alert for investors to review their current positions or prepare for a potential downtrend. This indicator provides users with a significant advantage in identifying such critical turning points and assists them in quickly adapting to market dynamics.
Sublime Trading | Trend Strength FilterWhat kind of traders/investors are we?
We are trend followers. Our scripts are designed to be used on the higher timeframes (weekly/daily) to catch the large moves/trends in the market.
Most have heard of long-term trend following. Few know how to execute the strategy.
Our scripts are designed specifically to identify and invest in long-term market trends.
What does this script do?
Identifying trends is at the heart of sound investing.
This script is colour coded to help identify long-term trends and environments where you will want to consider taking positions.
It is also designed to identify sideways/consolidating markets, environments where you will want to consider standing aside.
How is the trailing stoploss produced?
The script uses two sets of Bollinger Bands, one with setting Standard Deviation 1 and the other with Standard Deviation 2.
These settings help to create 3 zones - Buy, Sell and Stand Aside.
The bars will change colour according to which zone they are in.
The Buy zone is colour-coded green, and when a bull market or the start of a bull trend is in play. The green switches from light green to dark green as the asset’s price moves above the Buy zone.
This switch in colour serves as a warning that a reversal/pullback may occur next from bullish to bearish.
The Sell zone is colour-coded red and when a bear market or the start of a bear trend is in play. The red switches from light red to dark red as the asset’s price moves below the Sell zone.
This switch in colour serves as a warning that a reversal/pullback may occur next from bearish to bullish.
The Stand Aside is confirmed when the colour-code changes to grey. This may not necessarily mean a trend reversal but simply a time to apply patience before a trend continuation.
A sustained mixture of red, green and grey bars confirms a consolidation or sideways market and when investors/traders will want to stand aside and consider another asset.
What is the best timeframe to use the script?
Long-term trends are identified on the daily and weekly timeframes where traders and investors take fewer positions but hold for longer time periods.
We recommend using the script in unison on the weekly and daily timeframes.
When both timeframes fall into the Buy zone and colour-coded green, it signifies a strong bull market.
When both timeframes fall into the Sell zone and colour-coded red, it signifies a strong bear market.
When there is a mixture of green, red and grey bars across the two timeframes, it signifies a sideways market and when investors stand aside and protect their capital.
The weekly timeframe will also help mask the noise on the daily timeframe, allowing you to hold positions longer.
The Trailing Strength Filter script is for investors who want to identify and invest in long-term trends whilst simultaneously eliminating intraday swings.
What makes this script unique?
Identifying the start of long-term trends and then riding out established trends are among the main struggles budding investors face. This script has been coded specifically for the daily and weekly timeframe to:
Seamlessly identify the start, middle and end of trends
Align with the market and remove social media noise calling market tops and bottoms
Allow for discretion when entering but particularly exiting of positions if a market trend has not ended
This trend filter script ensures alignment with long-term market trends.
ChArt Path"ChArt Path" shows the same datas as the candles, but as a channel, instead of individual candles.
It allows to focus on the direction of the price (instead of wondering the meaning of each candle), which hopefully simplifies the analysis, and reduces the confusion.
Also, it is artistically customizable!
A little time might be necessary to get used to this indicator.
NOTES FOR INSTALLATION:
- Japanese candles might be more expressive than Heiken Ashi, with this indicator.
- Hide the candles in the chart settings (right click on an empty space in the chart, then "Settings", "Symbol", and uncheck "Body", "Borders" and "Wick").
- Add "ChArt Path" to the chart.
- In the indicator's settings, choose the options you prefer. The Advanced setting are tuned by default for dark themes (bgcolor: black/#0a0c12). Feel free to make them your own!
HOW TO READ THE CHART?
- The path is between 2 borders (black by default) that represent the body of the candle (without the wicks).
- The wicks are represented around the path, as a gradient. This makes a price rejection very easy to spot, as a spike for ex.
SETTINGS
The standard settings are simple. You can pick 2 colors (bullish and bearish) for the path. And 1 color for the wicks.
The advanced settings let you customize the wicks' colors and opacity. You can also activate the gradient of volumes inside the path, to indicate the volume behind each candle.
HOW TO USE CHART PATH?
I use it on 2 timeframes (direction/entry), both with FREMA Trend (See below).
When there is a wick spike (price rejection), followed by an arrow signal in FREMA Trend, then there might be an opportunity. I look for confirmations from different origins, like volume, momentum, and cycles.
DO NOT BASE YOUR TRADING DECISIONS ON 1 SINGLE INDICATOR'S SIGNALS.
Always confirm your ideas by other means, like price action and indicators of a different nature.
NOTES ABOUT THE GRADIENT OF VOLUMES:
The more intense is the color, the bigger is the volume.
The unit is a 400 periods moving average of the volumes, considered as 1 volume.
Each color represents half of this volume. For ex: Grays indicate under (or equal) to the 400 MA (low volumes). Bright yellow represents above 7 times the 400 MA (very high volumes).
When there's no available volume datas, the candles turn bright green by default.
Sunset candlesDisplays the volume behind each candle with colors, to visualise their evolution over time, directly in the chart.
This indicator is best suited for dark mode (Suggested background color: #0a0c12).
The more intense is the color, the bigger is the volume.
The unit is a 400 periods moving average of the volume, considered as 1 volume.
Each color represents half of this volume. For ex: Grays indicate under (or equal) to the 400 MA (low volumes). Bright yellow represents above 7 times the 400 MA (very high volumes).
When there's no available volume datas, the candles turn bright green by default.
The wicks' colors stay the same, and can still indicate the direction of the candle.
In the settings, you can show/hide the gradient of the volume. By moving your chart over this gradient, it is possible to compare the candles to the colors, and read the corresponding volume number.
Composite Cosmetic CandlesThis is effectively version 2 of my script "Candle Fill % Meter", with a few different/more options available in a more compact form. Choose between multiple oscillator sources, # of dividing lines, and solid or gradient candle fill. Once again this script is intended for use with hollow candles! This script enables you to see more information with less screen space taken up, not to mention it looks nice. Labels by last bar also toggleable in the settings.
OB EmaCross + BBThis is my setup and the way I like to trade.
It is based in an EMA cross ( 9 x 21) and the Bollinger Bands without the central Moving Average.
I prefer to use the EMA cross in the middle of the bands.
It is also possible to activate "Colored Bars" to paint the candles according to the EMA cross: green if the candles are above both EMAs, white when at least one of them are in between EMAs and red if they are both below EMAs.
My operational works like this:
- Buy when price is above EMAs
- Sell when price is belos EMAs
Of course, I use BB to give me the direction of the trend and I only enter in a trade when the price is in the same trend of the BB.
I avoid trades when the bands are getting narrowed.
I hope you enjoy my indicator and let me know if you have any suggestion! ;)
Smooth OscillatorThis is a an Oscillator based on RSI .
As you can see, entry signal for long is when the indicator and bar color is green and exit when red.
Entry signal for short is when the bar turns red and exit when green.
You should always trade with the trend, this oscillator helps to know where the trend is going, because as the trend is exhausting the plot waves moves to the oversold or overbought area, which can help to know when a reversal is coming.
This is a test version, use under your own discretion and do the proper backtesting.
Please comment your experience.
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!
Bull/Bear Buy/Bail CandlesBased on BullBearPower indicator, this is a heavily modified version with colored candles to show when bulls or bears are buying or bailing. Includes Fibonacci Levels based on Highest/Lowest value in variable length, along with optional second timeframe and alternative calculation for candles and linear regression curves for increased versatility. Green = bullish /long, Aqua = still-bullish albeit weakening, blue = weak albeit strengthening and red = weak/short. Perfect as a confirmation indicator for those looking to time markets.
Litt Opening Range BreakoutThe Litt ORB, Opening Range Breakout, is a tool used by many intraday traders to take advantage of short-term momentum. This script plots extensions based on the opening range and then color candles depending on where the closing price of that candle is. The opening range is defined by either the first 30 or 60 minutes of a new trading day. During that time the opening ranges are set. If the opening range time has passed and we start to break above the Opening Range High that is a good indication that a Trend Day to the upside could be forming. When a stock takes out the range high from the first 30 or 60 minutes this is called an Opening Range Breakout.
OR = Opening Range
ORH = Opening Range High
ORL = Opening Range Low
ORM = Opening Range Mid (Half-way between ORH and ORL)
You can see the ORH and ORL (Opening Range) lines on the chart. The other lines are extension lines from the Opening Range. These are used as price targets for the end of Opening Range breakouts.
The candles are colored as follows.
If we are above the ORH then we use Bull Color 1.
If we are below the ORL then we use Bull Color 2.
If we are above the ORM, Opening Range Mid or the halfway point between the ORH and the ORL, we color Bull Color 2.
If we are below the ORM then we color Bear Color 2.
If the current time is still within the Opening Range then we color the Opening Range Color.
OR = Opening Range
ORH = Opening Range High
ORL = Opening Range Low
ORM = Opening Range Mid (Half-way between ORH and ORL)
EMA based Candle ColoringEMA or Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is a technical indicator used in trading practices that shows how the price of an asset or security changes over a certain period of time. The EMA is different from a simple moving average in that it places more weight on recent data points (i.e., recent prices)
In this script plain EMA or MA is not used for candle coloring, but it takes multiple EMAs of the original EMA and then subtracts lag from the result to get data points of each candle of two certain periods defined. As it differs from traditional EMAs and MAs by reacting quicker to price changes and is able to subtract lag with its calculated formula.
The candle coloring is able to interpret short-term price direction and overall trend and its suitable for active traders. As it tracks price more closely than SMAs
Since EMAs can also provide support or resistance for price and is highly reliant on the asset’s lookback period we can make sure we stay with the trend rather than going against the trend.
*First of all here's what the colors represent and how to interpret them is shown in below image
Examples of how I use the Coloring pattern
Spotting a fakeout/stophunt
during trends:
* No strategy is 100% accurate this script is one of those too , traders must use this as an addition to their system rather than making it a standalone system.
* Context is important as the coloring is done using calculations, different timeframes has different context hence traders discretion is key.
Hope you find this helpful,
Thankyou.
happy trading.
Martyv Technical Analysis KitThis indicator is being developed as a tool hopefully suited to both the beginner/amateur/hobbyist and possibly also the professional analyst/trader. The idea is that it would be a tool that can give you an instant ‘overview’ of a few different schools of measurement on any measurable asset. Makes for great training wheels or a primer for further analysis.
Out of the box settings will give you an AutoFib for the most recent low and high (with extension targets), a pair of commonly-used moving averages (50 SMA and 200 SMA), RSI (and/or many other) divergences on the chart, and candles colored according to current trend (Blue = Bullish Control, Purple = Neutral/Coasting, Red = Bearish Control) and intensity according to volume (Darker = High Volume/Increasing, Lighter = Low Volume/Decreasing). For more advanced traders/analysts, almost all settings can be customized, with multiple options and additional features.
*There are a lot of settings. Shrug. Wink. I tried to bundle them together, however there are a few that I use quite often and placed them at the top for easy access. If you have any suggestions as to what's super useful in the top area, lmk. Happy trading! -E
AutoFib
-Places an AutoFib for the most recent low and high (with extension targets)
-You can choose to "contain price action" inside a 0-1 fib retrace, or allow extension targets to automatically be used (potentially useful within Harmonic Trading among other things)
-Uses the Fast/Medium/Slow (Default) global inputs for fib lookback period (Defaults to 8/21/34 at the time of this writing, can be changed in settings)
-Customizable fib levels, colors, and styles
-Can choose between AutoFib with manually defined levels or SmartFib with levels automatically calculated, including extensions as needed
--Choose between only using the most recent confirmed fib retrace, or the currently developing (non-confirmed) fib retrace - this will also contain price action within a 0-1 fib
--Adds fib extensions as needed, you can define extension levels
-Can change the lookback period and turn the visible Zig Zag and/or AutoFib on/off
-Can turn Logarithmic on/off in settings
Divergence
-Can identify and mark divergences (regular and hidden) for MACD, MACD Histogram, RSI (Default), Stochastic (Default), CCI, Momentum, OBV, Diosc, VWmacd, and Chaikin Money Flow
-Can turn divergences on/off individually
-Can choose to show hidden divergence
-Uses the Fast/Medium/Slow global inputs (Defaults to 8/21/34 at the time of this writing, can be changed in settings)
Trend Channels
-Uses a Zig-Zag with a specified lookback period (can be changed in settings)
-Setting AutoFIb to a different lookback than Trend Channels yields interesting results imo
-Can turn channels on/off
-Can change the lookback period and turn the Zig Zag and/or Channels on/off
Trend Ribbon
-Uses the John F. Ehlers Supersmooth method on a specified lookback period (Default 14)
-Checks the current price action against the lookback period trend and if the Supersmooth signal aligns with the trend direction, it gives a strong signal (Bull/Bear). A continuation signal (Neutral) is given if these two don’t match, and often indicates trend continuation or trend reversal.
-Can turn supersmooth and/or matching bar repaint on/off
-Can choose between Bull/Bear/Neutral signals and only Bull/Bear signals
-Alerts available for Bullish or Bearish change
-Can choose current timeframe or any timeframe
Bar Repaint
-Candles colored according to current trend (Blue = Bullish Control, Purple = Neutral/Coasting, Red = Bearish Control) and intensity according to volume (Darker = High Volume/Increasing, Lighter = Low Volume/Decreasing). You can set candle color to reflect: Open/Close, Trend (Default), or an RSI Gradient. You can set candle intensity to reflect: Volume (Default), Momentum, RSI, or ADX.
Price Tag
-Price tag that sits neatly between the candles and the fib labels. You can turn this on or off.
RSI CrayonsThis simple script colors candles based on the Relative Strength Index. RSI Values > 50 are solid colors, RSI values < 50 are pastels, with additional colors/fills/alerts for overheated and oversold (both user adjustable thresholds) conditions.
As an added bonus, RSI can be calculated by non-traditional methods (not using the running/smoothed moving average) using a variety of different moving averages, but you may have to adjust the time-frame for 'faster' moving averages. An option for plotting the moving average basis is also available.
Value Added:
This indicator can be used to chart RSI without adding an "oscillator frame" to your chart, since we don't normally care too much about RSI values between 30 and 70 under normal conditions.
MA Visualizer™TradeChartist MA Visualizer is a Moving Average based indicator aimed to visualize price action in relation to the Moving Average in a visually engaging way.

TradeChartist Trend Splitter ™TradeChartist Trend Splitter is a visual Trend spotting script based on two simple models fused together - Dynamic Volatility Bands and Dynamic Mean Bands. The fusion of these two models based on user defined parameters of length, Volatility Risk and Mean Bands type, along with optional Trend Splitter color bars and Trend background split will make it visually engaging for any trader to understand the price action.
===================================================================================================================
Trend Splitter User Manual
========================
Trend Splitter settings has option to enable and disable the Volatility Bands and also the Mean Bands.
Under each heading, user can adjust the parameters to suit the trading style, based on time-frame traded.
Volatility Bands track the price action based on volatility trend lookback (Default - 55, MIn - 5, Max - 337) and also uses a Detector plot based on user defined risk (Default is 2.618, Min - 0.618, Max - 5) to continuously track the price action.
Mean Bands track the Mean values of the price action based on TradeChartist's original Mean Reversion Model based on one of 4 time tested Fib Lengths (Default - 55, Options - 55, 89, 144, 233, 337) and detects the price testing of Mean using Orange touchpoints.
Using Price Action in relation to both Volatility Bands and the Mean Bands, the script creates Mean Bands filtered Trend splits that plot Bull or Bear Trend background.
The Mean Bands Filter can be disabled for Trend Splits by just disabling Mean Bands from the settings. Also the option to display Trend Split background can also be enabled or disabled from the settings.
The settings also includes a useful feature to enable or disable coloured price bars using one of 3 colour themes.
Users can create alerts for Price testing mean, Bull and Bear trends using Long or Short from Trend Splitter's Alert Condition.
The indicator doesn't repaint even though a potential repaint warning appears when creating alerts. This can be confirmed by doing bar replay with vertical lines at various lines and trend change zones to get confidence using the indicator. The vertical lines will stay in the same place on both current time and when running a bar replay.
===================================================================================================================
Example Charts
1. 5m chart of BINANCE:AXSUSDTPERP using Trend Splitter (144, 2.618, Normal, 55) and TradeChartist Momentum Drift Oscillator (144 with Drift Visualizer). The Trend Splitter and MDO combo work brilliantly on Lower Time Frames and even on 15s/30s charts with MDO length of 144.
Best Practice - Always wait for a very long trend (over 337 bars on both MDO and Trend Splitter before taking a reverse trend trade at either Exhaustion or Super OB/OS zones of MDO) when using very low time-frames.
2. 5m chart of NYSE:PLTR using Trend Splitter (144, 3.618, Normal, 55) connected to TradeChartist Fib Master to plot Automatic Fibs. Just use Trend Identifier of Trend Splitter from Fib Master signal dropdown from settings, having both scripts active on chart.
3. Daily chart of OANDA:XAUUSD using Trend Splitter (using only Mean Bands - Weighted/144) to spot areas of support and resistance at Mean Bands.
Best Practice - Mean Bands can also act as confirmation indicator when used with other Trading View Indicators like RSI, Stohastic, Bollinger Bands etc.
4. Daily chart of COINBASE:ETHUSD using Trend Splitter (55, 0.618, Weighted, 55) connected to TradeChartist Plug and Trade to show Trend Splitter based Entries with Targets and Past Performance to assess the settings parameters in Trend Splitter. Just use Trend Identifier of Trend Splitter from Plug and Trade signal dropdown from settings, having both scripts active on chart.

B3 HL2MA Painter ~ Extremely Smooth Average & Bar PaintMy HL2MA is a 'proprietary' formula based on the idea that I never again want to see a jagged average line. I released a version of this a long time ago, but I wanted to update it to how I have it on my charts in other platforms. Here are some notes about this moving average script:
The default input value is 5, and I suggest the range of use 4-6 with the rare occasion of using 3 or 7.
For me 5 is what I use UNLESS I AM IN A TRADE, then I might switch to 4 if I have some profits to lock, or 6 if I want to stay in for a lengthier trade.
This average when kept within the above parameters is the smoothest MA in my arsenal, HL2 refers to the middle of the candles which further de-noises the line.
The colors are green/red for good movement with the confirmed trend.
The colors are gray for movement against the current trend (signaling a possible mean reversion)
The colors blue & yellow appear when signaling possible chop or trend exhaustion.
Carried forward from the last time I posted this, the bias for longs and shorts is depicted as the color of the average line green or maroon, and ALERTS are based on that overall bias created the line by itself.
Also carried from the last post, the green and maroon clouds depict the price deviance from the line; when the cloud stretches wide it may be time to take profits and enter back in closer to the line.
Thanks again for liking and following!!!!

TradeChartist Drifter Lite™TradeChartist Drifter Lite is an adeptly designed, functional and a visual indicator that plots trend-following Auto-Fibs , based on user defined lookback length, and includes the Ichimoku Cloud to help visualize the Price action in relation to the Support and Resistance limits of the Auto-Fibs.
What are the Drifter limits and Drifter Auto-fibs based on?
Drifter limits are based on the highest and lowest of the open/close values of the user defined Drifter Length (Default - 144).
These limits form the 0% and 100% Fib retracements, which help derive the 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8% and 76.4% Auto-Fib plots of the Drifter.
Why is the Kumo of the Ichimoku included in the Drifter?
When the price enters the oversold/overbought zones of the Auto-Fibs towards the 100% retracement zones, the price could either come back to test the mean or follow the trend which becomes hard to predict without a secondary confirmator. Kumo cloud helps visualize the trend in relation to it and helps traders make an informed trade decision.
Users can use any of their favourite secondary confirmator like RSI, Stoch, MACD in addition to the cloud to further strengthen their decision.
How does the coloured bars help visualize the price action?
Drifter includes optional coloured bars which paint the price bars with the Bull/Bear strength based on the Drifter length.
The coloured bars help visualise the Bull/Bear power hold and also helps spot visible exhaustion which is a useful feature and acts as a good confirmator too.
Bollinger Band Color BarsThis is a simple addition to the built in Bollinger Bands script. All it does is replaces the traditional plotting of Bollinger Bands with color bars.
Simple Hull MAA simple code to plot Hull MA with colour coding of plot fill and price bars based on strength.
Heatmap Volume [xdecow]This indicator colors the volume bars and candles according to the volume traded. The calculation of the heat map zones is done as follows:
how many standard deviations the volume are distant from the average volume?
For a better visual experience, place the borders and wicks of the candles in a neutral color.
