Shifted Hourly Candles :00 (RTH, for 1H chart)What it does
On US stocks, PulseWire's hourly bars on Regular Trading Hours are anchored to the 9:30 session open, so every 1-hour candle opens and closes at minute :30 (9:30–10:30, 10:30–11:30, ...). Switching to Extended Hours gives you :00 alignment, but then your chart and indicators include pre-market and after-hours data.
This indicator gives you the third option PulseWire doesn't offer natively: hourly candles cut at the top of the clock hour, built from RTH data only. It redraws all candles of the session as 9:30–10:00 (a short opening candle), then 10:00–11:00, 11:00–12:00, through 15:00–16:00 — the same way TC2000 and several other platforms build their hourly bars.
Who it's for
Traders who track hourly opens/closes at the top of the hour (hourly ORB, top-of-hour reversals, hourly close confirmations) and need the candle boundaries to match.
Traders migrating between TC2000 and PulseWire who want both platforms to show the same hourly bars.
Anyone who tried the ETH workaround and found that extended-hours candles distorted their view of regular-session price action.
How it works
The script requests lower-timeframe intrabar data (request.security_lower_tf) and re-aggregates it into clock-hour buckets, detecting boundaries from actual bar timestamps in exchange time — so the short 9:30–10:00 opening candle, trading halts, and early-close sessions are all handled correctly. Each completed candle is drawn with plotcandle on the chart bar where its hour completes, and the current forming hour is drawn live on the last bar, updating as intrabars confirm.
Setup
Use a 1H chart with Extended Hours OFF.
Add the indicator, then hide the native candles (chart Settings → Symbol → set body/wick/border colors fully transparent) so only the shifted candles are visible.
Optional: switch the intrabar timeframe input to "1" for faster live updates (at the cost of history depth) or "15" for maximum history.
Limitations
The time axis labels read 30 minutes early: the 10:00–11:00 candle sits on the slot labeled 10:30. OHLC values are exact — Pine scripts cannot move the chart's time grid.
Intrabar data is capped by PulseWire (~100k intrabars), giving roughly 1 year of history at "1", ~5 years at "5".
Indicators you add to the chart still calculate on the native :30 bars; indicators must be ported to the shifted closes to match (I use companion scripts for MAs and stochastics built on the same bucket logic).
Background
This came out of a discussion in the PulseWire subreddit asking for a native "align intraday bars to clock hour" option: www.reddit.com — until that exists, this script is the workaround. Indicator
Three & Four Bar Reversal PatternThree & Four Bar Reversal Pattern identifies short-term reversal candlestick setups directly on your chart, based on a strict closing-price confirmation rather than just wick penetration — making signals more reliable for intraday and swing trading decisions.
WHAT IT DETECTS
3-Bar Reversal
A classic three-candle reversal:
Bullish: two consecutive bearish candles followed by a bullish candle that closes above the high of the first bearish candle.
Bearish: two consecutive bullish candles followed by a bearish candle that closes below the low of the first bullish candle.
Requiring the close (not just the wick) to break the reference level filters out weaker, unconfirmed reversal attempts.
4-Bar Reversal (optional)
An extended version of the pattern for setups where the reversal takes one extra candle to confirm:
Two small same-direction candles, followed by a transition candle in the opposite direction, followed by a large breakout candle whose body exceeds the combined body size of the previous three candles, and whose close breaks through the high/low of the first candle.
Built-in logic prevents a 4-bar signal from overlapping with an already-completed 3-bar signal on the same candles, so you don't get redundant markers on the chart.
FEATURES
Independent toggles for bullish and bearish signals
Customizable colors for bullish/bearish markers
Optional 4-bar pattern detection, clearly distinguished from 3-bar signals with on-chart labels ("3" / "4")
Configurable reference line (style: solid/dashed/dotted, adjustable width) marking the breakout level
Built-in alert conditions for all four signal types (bullish/bearish, 3-bar/4-bar)
HOW TO USE
Add the indicator to your chart.
Watch for triangle markers below/above candles — these mark confirmed reversal closes.
Enable "4-Bar Pattern Detection" in settings if you also want the extended 4-candle version.
Set alerts on any of the four conditions to get notified in real time.
NOTES
This tool is designed to highlight potential reversal setups, not to generate standalone buy/sell signals. Always combine it with your own risk management, trend context, and confluence factors (support/resistance, volume, higher-timeframe structure, etc.). Past patterns do not guarantee future results.

Candle Pattern Forecast# Candle Pattern Forecast — Complete Guide
---
## What This Indicator Does
The Candle Pattern Forecast engine looks at the most recent candles on your chart and asks a simple question: **has the market made this same sequence of candles before, and if so, what happened next?**
Every candle tells a story beyond just where price closed. It reveals how decisive the move was (the body), whether buyers or sellers got rejected at the extremes (the wicks), and which side was in control (direction). This indicator reads those four characteristics on each of the last N candles, builds a structural fingerprint of that sequence, then scans back through history looking for every other time the market made a similar sequence.
Once it finds enough matching sequences, it looks at what price actually did in the bars that followed each match. It then plots the median of all those outcomes as a forecast midline, and draws confidence bands showing the range where the bulk of those historical outcomes actually landed.
In plain terms: **the last time the market made candles that looked like this, here is what typically happened next.**
---
## What It Is Not
This is not a crystal ball. It is not predicting the future with certainty. It is showing you a probability-weighted summary of historical behavior following similar candle patterns. The quality of that summary depends entirely on how many good matches exist in history and how consistently those matches behaved afterward. The info box tells you both of those things in real time.
---
## The Display
**Pattern Line** — a purple line tracing the closes of the Candle Lookback window. This shows you exactly which candles the engine read to build its fingerprint, ending at the anchor point where the forecast begins. When Historical Rewind is active, the pattern line shifts back with the rest of the indicator so you always see the sequence that generated the projection.
**Forecast Midline** — the median (or average, if you switch modes) of all the forward price paths observed after matched candle sequences. This is your central tendency line — where the market most commonly ended up after patterns like this.
**Confidence Bands** — the range between the 25th and 75th percentile of historical outcomes by default. The middle 50% of your matched sequences ended up inside these bands. Tight bands mean the matches behaved consistently. Wide bands mean outcomes were scattered and the pattern had no reliable follow-through.
The bands naturally widen as they extend further forward in time. This is correct behavior — the further out you project, the more historical paths diverge from each other.
---
## Inputs — Model Group
**Non-Repaint Mode** — when on, the indicator anchors itself to the last fully closed candle and never changes its projection mid-bar. This is the honest setting for real trading decisions. When off, it updates live on the current bar, which means the projection shifts as price moves.
**Candle Lookback** — how many candles back the engine reads to build its fingerprint. At 5, it reads the last 5 candles and uses their combined anatomy as the pattern it is trying to match in history. Shorter lookbacks find more matches because the fingerprint is simpler. Longer lookbacks find fewer but potentially more specific matches. For short-term intraday work, 3–7 is a practical range. Going much above 10–15 starts to starve the engine of good matches.
**Search Depth** — how far back in history the engine scans looking for matches, measured in bars. At 2000, it looks back 2000 bars. More depth gives more candidates to match against, which is generally better. The limit is how much data your chart actually has.
**Forecast Horizon** — how many bars forward the projection extends after the anchor point. At 10, you get a 10-bar forecast. Keep this in a sensible relationship to your Candle Lookback — projecting 50 bars forward on a 5-candle pattern will produce a technically valid but practically meaningless result as the historical outcomes diverge too much to average meaningfully.
**Pattern Matches** — the target number of historical matches the engine tries to collect. It starts with a very strict similarity requirement and automatically loosens it until it has found this many matches, stopping at the Similarity Floor. More matches produce a smoother, more stable midline but dilute the directional signal. Fewer matches are noisier but more specific. 15–30 is a practical range.
**Similarity Floor** — the absolute minimum similarity score the engine will accept for a match, expressed as a percentage. If it cannot find enough matches above this floor, it takes whatever it found and shows a warning in the info box. This prevents the engine from building a projection on essentially unrelated historical patterns. Raising this makes the engine more selective. Lowering it makes it more permissive.
---
## Inputs — Historical Rewind Group
**Enable Rewind** — when toggled on, the entire indicator shifts backward in time by the number of bars you specify. The fingerprint is read from that past point, the scan searches only history that existed at that time, and the projection extends forward from there — into what is now known history. This lets you visually compare what the indicator would have projected against what price actually did. The pattern line also shifts back to show the candle sequence that was read at that point in time. When off, the indicator runs live as normal.
**Bars Back** — how many bars back to anchor the rewind. At 50, the engine reads the candle sequence from 50 bars ago, finds matches from history prior to that point, and draws the projection forward from there. You can then see how closely the actual subsequent price action followed the forecast. Set to 0 when rewind is enabled but you want to temporarily pause without toggling it off.
The info box Rewind row shows **Live** when rewind is off and **⏪ N bars back** in orange when active, so it is always clear whether you are looking at a live projection or a historical replay.
---
## Inputs — Match Strictness Group
**Match Strictness** — a single dropdown from 1 (Weak) to 5 (Exact) that controls how the engine weighs the four candle anatomy dimensions against each other when measuring similarity.
- **1 — Weak** — all four dimensions (body, upper wick, lower wick, direction) matter equally. The engine is looking for a general structural resemblance. Finds the most matches.
- **2 — Relaxed** — slight emphasis on body conviction. Still broadly permissive.
- **3 — Balanced** — the default. Body size is the dominant signal but wicks and direction still contribute meaningfully.
- **4 — Strict** — strong body emphasis. The engine is primarily matching on how decisive each candle was. Fewer but structurally closer matches.
- **5 — Exact** — body conviction is the overwhelming signal. Only candle sequences with very similar body profiles will qualify. Hardest to match, fewest results.
Think of this as tuning what kind of candle similarity matters most to you. If you care primarily about whether candles were indecisive or committed, lean toward Strict or Exact. If you want a broader match that respects the full candle structure equally, use Weak or Relaxed.
---
## Inputs — Pattern Line Group
**Show Pattern Line** — toggles the pattern line on or off. Default is on.
**Color** — color of the pattern line. Default is purple.
**Width** — thickness of the pattern line. Default is 2.
---
## Inputs — Forecast Group
**Midline Mode** — controls how the central forecast line is calculated from the matched outcomes.
- **Median** (default) — takes the middle value when all outcomes are sorted. More robust to outliers. If one matched sequence had a massive move that was atypical, it gets pushed to the edge rather than pulling the midline toward it.
- **Average** — takes the arithmetic mean of all outcomes. More sensitive to outliers and extreme moves in either direction.
For most use cases Median is the more honest representation of what typically happened.
**Midline Color / Width / Style** — visual styling for the forecast midline.
**Show Confidence Bands** — toggles the upper and lower bands on or off.
**Confidence Band Mode** — controls how the bands are calculated.
- **Percentile** (default) — sorts all historical outcomes at each forecast step and draws the bands at the exact percentile you specify. No assumptions about the shape of the distribution. The bands directly show you where real historical outcomes clustered.
- **Std Deviation** — draws the bands at mean ± N standard deviations. Assumes outcomes are roughly bell-shaped. Can be distorted by outliers inflating the standard deviation even when most matches behaved similarly.
**Lower Percentile / Upper Percentile** — only active in Percentile mode. Default is 25 and 75, meaning the bands show where the middle 50% of historical outcomes landed. Moving to 10/90 widens the bands to capture 80% of outcomes. Moving to 5/95 captures 90%. The right setting depends on whether you want to see the typical range or the full plausible range.
**Band Std Deviation** — only active in Std Deviation mode. At 1.0, the bands cover approximately 68% of outcomes. At 2.0, approximately 95%.
**Upper / Lower Band Color, Width, Style** — visual styling for the confidence bands.
---
## Inputs — Info Box Group
The info box displays the engine's live diagnostic state so you always know what is actually running.
**Show Info Box** — toggles the info box on or off.
**Position** — where on the chart the info box appears.
**Text Size** — size of the info box text.
**Background / Border / Header colors** — visual styling.
---
## Reading the Info Box
**Candle Lookback** — confirms how many candles the fingerprint is built from.
**Forecast Horizon** — confirms how many bars forward the projection extends.
**Matches Used** — how many historical sequences qualified. If this is orange, no matches were found — the engine has nothing to project from. Try lowering the Similarity Floor, reducing the Candle Lookback, or increasing the Search Depth.
**Sim Floor / Fit** — two numbers. The left is the similarity threshold the engine actually settled on to reach your target match count. The right is the average similarity score of all the matches it found. Higher is better. A warning symbol next to the left number means the engine hit the Similarity Floor and could not find enough matches above it.
**Match Quality** — a composite score from Low to High that combines the average similarity of your matches, how close you got to your target match count, and whether the floor was hit. High means the engine found well-matched patterns. Low means the projection is built on weaker material and should be treated with more skepticism.
**Search Depth** — confirms the search depth setting currently active.
**Strictness** — confirms which Match Strictness level is active.
**Midline** — confirms whether you are running Median or Average.
**Bands** — confirms the active band mode and parameters. Shows either "Pctl 25/75" style or "StdDev ×1.0" style depending on your selection.
**Rewind** — shows Live when the indicator is running on the current bar, or ⏪ N bars back in orange when Historical Rewind is active.
---
## Practical Usage Tips
The forecast midline being relatively flat is not a failure — it often means the candle pattern genuinely did not predict a strong directional move historically. In that case the bands are the more useful signal, showing you the range of outcomes rather than pretending to know direction.
Tight bands with a flat midline means the pattern historically resolved with small moves in both directions — a low-conviction setup. Wide bands means the pattern was followed by large moves but in inconsistent directions. A midline with meaningful slope and tight bands is the highest-quality signal the engine can produce.
Treat Match Quality as your confidence filter. When it reads Low or Weak, reduce the weight you place on the projection. When it reads High, the engine found genuinely similar historical sequences and the projection has more structural basis behind it.
Use Historical Rewind to build intuition for the indicator before trusting it live. Step back 50 or 100 bars, observe how the projection compared to what actually happened, experiment with different Candle Lookback and Match Strictness settings, and develop a feel for when the indicator tends to be more or less reliable on your instrument and timeframe. The pattern line makes this especially useful — you can see exactly which candle sequence triggered the projection and compare it visually to where price went next. Indicator

Momentum Candle Sekolah TradingMomentum Candle Sekolah Trading
Overview
Momentum Candle is a technical indicator designed to detect strong momentum candles based on body size and wick ratio validation. It is built to help traders quickly identify whether a candle represents genuine bullish or bearish momentum, or merely noise — across multiple forex pairs and BTCUSD.
This indicator is an evolution of the previous Momentum Candle v3, with significant improvements including multi-pair support, EMA trend filter, consolidation validation, dual signal modes, and a time-based alert system.
How It Works
The indicator evaluates each candle using two core criteria:
Minimum Body Size — The candle body (|close − open|) must meet or exceed a user-defined minimum size (in pips), configured separately for each pair and each timeframe (M5, M15, M30).
Wick Ratio — The total wick length must not exceed a configurable percentage of the total candle range (body + wick). Default is 30%, meaning candles with excessive wicks are filtered out.
Signal Modes
Two signal modes are available via the "Mode Candle" input:
Agresif (Aggressive): A signal is generated when the body is large enough and the wick ratio is acceptable, regardless of wick direction. Suitable for traders who want more frequent signals.
Konservatif (Conservative): Adds an additional directional wick check — bullish signals require the lower wick to be smaller than the upper wick, and vice versa for bearish. This reduces noise and false signals.
Alert Modes
Two alert timing modes are available via the "Mode Alert" input:
Agresif: Alert fires immediately every bar when the signal condition is met.
Konservatif: Alert fires only in the 20–90 second window before candle close, reducing premature alerts caused by candles that may still change before closing.
Consolidation Validation (Optional)
When enabled, the indicator checks that the N previous candles (configurable, default 3) are each smaller in body size than the current signal candle. This helps confirm the signal appears after a period of lower volatility, adding context to the momentum reading.
EMA Trend Filter (Optional)
An EMA trend filter can be activated to restrict signals to the direction of the prevailing trend:
Bullish signals only appear when price is above the EMA.
Bearish signals only appear when price is below the EMA.
The EMA timeframe (M5, M15, M30, H1) and period are fully configurable. Recommended: M5=21, M15=50, M30=50, H1=100.
A live trend label (table, top-right) shows the current EMA trend direction.
Supported Pairs and Timeframes
Each pair can be enabled or disabled independently. Minimum body size is configurable per pair and per timeframe:
PairM5 DefaultM15 DefaultM30 DefaultXAUUSD35 pips45 pips55 pipsUSDJPY10 pips15 pips20 pipsGBPUSD10 pips15 pips20 pipsAUDUSD10 pips15 pips20 pipsUSDCAD10 pips15 pips20 pipsEURUSD10 pips15 pips20 pipsNZDUSD10 pips15 pips20 pipsUSDCHF10 pips15 pips20 pipsBTCUSD80 pips120 pips160 pips
Signals
🔵 Blue triangle (below bar): Bullish momentum signal
🔴 Red triangle (above bar): Bearish momentum signal
How to Use
Select your pair and enable it in the "Aktifkan Pair" section.
Adjust the minimum body size for your preferred timeframe.
Set the wick ratio threshold (default 30% is recommended as a starting point).
Choose between Aggressive or Conservative mode depending on your trading style.
Optionally enable the EMA filter for trend-confirmed signals only.
Optionally enable consolidation validation for breakout-style confirmation.
Set up alerts using the built-in alert conditions for both bullish and bearish, in either Aggressive or Conservative alert mode.
Important Notes
This indicator is a tool for technical analysis only. It does not guarantee trading results.
It is strongly recommended to combine this indicator with price action context, support/resistance levels, and proper risk management.
Past signal performance does not guarantee future results.
This script does not use security() with lookahead to access future data. The EMA from a higher timeframe uses barmerge.lookahead_off to prevent repainting.
This script does not use Heikin Ashi or non-standard chart types. It is designed for standard candlestick charts. Indicator
Strong FU Candle | ProjectSyndicateSTRONG FU CANDLE
Strong FU Candle marks the exact bars where the market sweeps liquidity and snaps back — the classic "follow-up" reversal candle that traps breakout traders and ignites the move the other way. It scans every bar for a liquidity grab beyond the prior candle's wick followed by an engulfing close back through it, grades each setup on candle anatomy, projects a full Entry / Stop / TP1-TP2-TP3 trade plan with live fill tracking, and stores the resulting liquidity zones so you can see — on the same chart — which FU types actually held and which failed.
🎯 0–10 QUALITY SCORE
Each FU candle earns a live grade from five sign-stable anatomy factors on the setup bar itself:body dominance — body-to-range ratio (a real FU closes near its extreme, not in the middle).Opposite wick — penalises any pullback from the close back into the body, since a clean FU has almost no opposite wick.Grab wick — rewards a meaningful sweep wick but punishes the oversized "all wick, no body" candle.Close position — how far into the bar's range the close lands (≥90% of range = full credit).Size & participation — bonus when the candle is normal-sized relative to ATR (not a micro-bar, not a freak spike) and volume is at or above its average.
🏷️ CALIBRATED TIERS — C / B / A / S
The raw 0–10 score maps to four tiers, calibrated on 8 H1 FX pairs (2024–2026) at 1:1 RR: C≈52%, B≈53%, A≈55%, S≈59% win rate (vs 54.6% unfiltered). Raise the minimum tier toward A/S for higher win rate and fewer signals; drop to C for maximum signal flow.
🕯️ FULL vs ATTEMPTED (ATT) FU
Full FU = close fully engulfs the prior candle's wick. Attempted FU = close engulfs the prior candle's body but not its wick — weaker, but often a valid early reversal. ATT can be toggled off entirely.
🧹 FILTERS
EMA filter (bull FUs only above EMA, bear FUs only below — keeps you trading with short-term momentum), rejection filter (drops candles where the opposite-side wick is larger than the body), fractal filter (requires the FU to actually sweep a recent swing high/low), and a configurable point-size system so every threshold — grab size, engulf depth, min/max body, min range — scales correctly across gold, FX, indices and crypto.
🧊 LIVE LIQUIDITY ZONES
Every qualifying FU is drawn as a zone anchored to the bar that created it, sourced from either the grab wick (default) or the full FU candle range, with an optional 50% midline. Zones never drift — they sit on the price action that formed them. A label above each zone shows timeframe, side, tier, score, BIW marker, and the live win rate of that side on this timeframe.
📜 HISTORIC ZONES & WINNER LEVELS
Old zones fade into a historic layer, colour-coded by outcome (green = TP1 hit, red = stopped out). Option to show winners only and clean the chart of losses. For the most recent N winners the indicator can re-draw the original Entry, Stop and TP1/TP2/TP3 lines on the historic zone, so you can visually audit exactly how the playbook performed in past conditions.
📐 PROJECTED TRADE PLAN — ENTRY / SL / TP1-TP2-TP3
Every new FU prints a complete trade plan on the chart: Entry (at 50% body, 50% wick, or FU close — your pick), Stop with adjustable buffer beyond the candle, and TP1 / TP2 / TP3 at user-defined R multiples. Reversal mode treats bullish FU as a BUY; Fade mode flips it.
🎛️ LIVE TRADE PANEL
A side panel tracks the latest setup in real time: direction, exact Entry / SL / TP1 / TP2 / TP3 prices, and a live status line — PENDING → FILLED → TP1 hit → TP2 hit → TP3 HIT, or STOPPED OUT, or NO FILL (missed) if price ran without filling.
📊 STATS DASHBOARD
A separate leaderboard tracks per-side performance on the current timeframe and current tier filter: Win Rate, Probability of Touch (fill rate), Expected Value in R, configured R:R, average bars to win, average bars to loss, and a W / L • n • avg-score line. BUY and SELL columns are tracked independently so you can see if one side is dominating.
🌐 MULTI-TIMEFRAME OVERLAY
Up to three higher timeframes can be overlaid as drawn-only zones (15m / 1H / 4H by default, any TF), so a 5m chart can show 1H FU zones still in play. Higher-TF zones are draw-only and excluded from current-TF stats to keep the dashboard honest.
🔔 NATIVE ALERTS
Dedicated alerts for a BUY setup formed, a SELL setup formed, any bullish/bearish FU on any active TF, price touching an FU zone (entry filled), and price approaching a zone within a user-set tick proximity.
🔧 FULLY ADJUSTABLE
Detection thresholds in points (grab size, engulf depth, min range, min/max body); ATT FU on/off; EMA / rejection / fractal filter toggles and lengths; volume baseline length; minimum tier and minimum numeric score; direction logic (Reversal vs Fade); entry mode and stop buffer; TP1/TP2/TP3 multiples; zone source (grab wick vs full range), max active zones per side, historic cap, transparencies, midline on/off; full colour theme (bull, bear, win, loss, touched border); candle-colour toggle; label size; dashboard position and text size; up to three MTF channels; alert proximity.
🚀 Works on gold (XAUUSD), silver, forex, crypto and indices, on any timeframe.
────────────────────────
HOW TO TRADE IT — TWO APPROACHES
The tier chooses the playbook. High-tier FUs tend to reverse cleanly; low-tier FUs are coin flips that need extra confluence.
TRADE THE FU — reversal (A / S tier, score ≥ 6.5)
Use when a high-tier FU prints — calibrated to win ~55–59% at 1:1 with positive expectancy.
Wait for the FU to close and the trade plan to draw — Entry, SL, TP1/TP2/TP3.
Take the entry at your chosen level (50% body is the default — gives a pullback fill).
Stop just past the FU extreme with the buffer.
Scale at TP1, trail or hold for TP2 / TP3.
The trade panel tells you live whether you are PENDING, FILLED, in profit, or stopped.
FILTER & WAIT — selectivity (C / B tier)
Use C and B tier as context, not standalone signals — at the unfiltered ~54% baseline they need help.
Drop to C/B only when stacked with: a strong S/R level, an HTF FU in the same direction, an EMA reclaim/loss, or a fractal sweep.
Otherwise raise the minimum tier to A or S and accept fewer signals for a higher hit rate.
Use the live dashboard — if BUY WR on this TF is sitting at 45% over a decent n, that's a signal to either flip to Fade mode or sit out longs entirely on this instrument.
Rule of thumb: S/A tier → take the trade as drawn. B/C tier → needs confluence, or skip. Watch the live dashboard — let the actual win rate on this instrument tell you which side is paying.

ICT ADR Levels - Judas x Daily RangeThis indicator provides a clean and flexible way to monitor Average Daily Range (ADR) with two distinct calculation modes, along with visual levels and a detailed historical table.
Calculation Modes
- Classic Mode: Uses the standard daily candle range (high minus low of regular daily bars). This is the traditional daily range calculation.
- Midnight Mode: Calculates the daily range from midnight to midnight in America/New_York time. This provides a true calendar-day range independent of session opens.
You can switch between the two modes instantly using the dropdown in the settings. All table values, percentages, and 80% ADR levels update dynamically based on the selected mode.
The indicator plots the following levels from a session anchor point:
- Full ADR (above and below)
- 1/3 ADR (Judas levels)
- 80% ADR measured from the current daily high and low (two lines) - user selectable %
All lines are dynamically managed to avoid duplication and update cleanly as new sessions begin. Labels on the right side display price levels and can be toggled on or off.
Historical Table
A customizable table displays the following information for the selected number of days:
- Day or Date (user selectable)
- 5-Day ADR value for each historical day
- 80% of that day's 5-Day ADR
- Actual daily Range
- Percentage of the 5-Day ADR reached that day
The current/live row shows Today's Range compared against the active 5-Day ADR, including the percentage reached and the 80% target level. The table supports multiple sizes and positions.
Key Features
- Toggle between Classic and Midnight ADR calculations
- 80% ADR levels drawn from daily high and low
- Clean, non-duplicating horizontal lines and labels
- Historical data table with day/date, ADR, 80% ADR, Range, and percentage columns
- Adjustable styling, colors, text size, and visibility for all elements
- Option to plot levels from a session anchor or current price
This tool is designed for traders who want precise ADR-based levels with the flexibility to choose between standard daily ranges and strict midnight-to-midnight calculations. Indicator

It attempts to highlight moments where the internal candle-pressure model detects a possible shift after price has already moved aggressively in one direction.
The purpose is not to create more signals.
The purpose is to make potential pressure-flip conditions easier to identify, review, and compare on the chart.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧩 WHY THIS SCRIPT IS NOT A SIMPLE BUY/SELL INDICATOR
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Candle Pressure Flip Engine is not intended to behave like a basic “buy here / sell here” script.
It is built as a structured workflow:
Exhaustion Move
→ Candle Rejection
→ Close Pressure
→ Volume Burst
→ Momentum Flip
→ Score Requirement
→ Optional Auto Best Selection
→ BULLISH / BEARISH Flip Label
→ Target / Risk Projection
→ Result Tracking
→ Crimson Spine Visual Context
→ Alerts
Each part has a specific role.
🔥 The exhaustion engine checks whether price has moved enough before a flip is considered.
🕯️ The wick engine checks whether the candle rejected a level strongly enough.
📍 The close-pressure engine checks where the candle closed inside its range.
📊 The volume module checks whether the signal candle has volume expansion.
🧭 The momentum module checks whether RSI is turning in the expected direction.
🧠 The optimizer compares internal parameter combinations in the background.
🎯 The target/risk module draws visual planning zones.
🩸 The Crimson Spine module adds a premium price-following visual layer.
🚨 The alert module helps monitor signals and results without constantly watching the chart.
This makes the script a complete visual review framework, not a one-condition signal tool.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚙️ HOW THE SCRIPT WORKS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔥 EXHAUSTION MOVE ENGINE
The script first checks whether price has made a meaningful move over a selected lookback period.
This is done using:
• Exhaustion Lookback
• Minimum Exhaustion Move ATR
• Minimum Directional Bars
• ATR-based move measurement
A bullish flip can only appear after bearish exhaustion conditions are detected.
A bearish flip can only appear after bullish exhaustion conditions are detected.
This means the script is designed to look for possible pressure flips after directional movement, not random candles in the middle of neutral price action.
For bullish setups, the script looks for prior downside pressure.
For bearish setups, the script looks for prior upside pressure.
This creates the first layer of context.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🕯️ REJECTION WICK ENGINE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
After exhaustion is detected, the script checks the signal candle itself.
For a bullish flip, the script evaluates the lower wick.
For a bearish flip, the script evaluates the upper wick.
The purpose is to identify whether price rejected one side of the candle range.
The main setting is:
Minimum Rejection Wick %
A larger rejection wick requirement makes the script more selective.
A smaller rejection wick requirement allows more potential signals.
The wick condition does not guarantee that price will reverse.
It only means that the candle showed rejection behavior according to the script’s internal model.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📍 CLOSE-PRESSURE ENGINE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The script also evaluates where the candle closes inside its own range.
This is important because a rejection wick alone is not always enough.
For bullish flips, the script prefers candles that close closer to the upper part of the candle range.
For bearish flips, the script prefers candles that close closer to the lower part of the candle range.
This is controlled by:
Close Pressure Threshold %
Example:
If the threshold is 65%, a bullish candle must close relatively high in its candle range.
For bearish flips, the inverse logic is used.
This helps the script avoid weak candles that reject but fail to close with enough pressure.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📏 BODY PRESSURE ENGINE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The script also checks the body size of the signal candle.
This is controlled by:
Minimum Reversal Body %
The candle body is measured as a percentage of the full candle range.
This helps avoid extremely weak candles where the wick may be large but the body does not show enough directional pressure.
A higher value makes the script more selective.
A lower value allows more signals.
This does not mean a larger candle body is always better.
It simply gives the model a minimum candle-strength requirement.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📊 VOLUME BURST CONFIRMATION
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Candle Pressure Flip Engine includes an optional Volume Burst filter.
When enabled, the script compares current volume to its moving average.
The main settings are:
📊 Use Volume Burst
📊 Volume MA Length
📊 Minimum Volume Multiplier
Example:
A Minimum Volume Multiplier of 1.10 means the current volume must be at least 10% above its average.
The purpose is to check whether the pressure-flip candle appeared with above-average participation.
This can be useful on markets where volume data is meaningful.
Important note:
Some symbols, brokers, CFDs, forex feeds, or synthetic markets may have limited or less reliable volume data.
Users can disable this filter if volume is not useful for their selected market.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧭 RSI MOMENTUM FLIP CONFIRMATION
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The script includes an optional RSI Momentum Flip module.
This does not use RSI as a classic overbought/oversold signal.
Instead, the script checks whether RSI is turning in the expected direction.
Main settings:
🧭 Use Momentum Flip
🧭 RSI Length
🧭 RSI Turn Lookback
🧭 Bullish RSI Max After Flip
🧭 Bearish RSI Min After Flip
For bullish flips, RSI should start turning upward without already being too extended.
For bearish flips, RSI should start turning downward without already being too extended.
This is designed to help filter signals where candle pressure appears but momentum has not started shifting yet.
RSI confirmation is only one part of the model.
It does not guarantee future price movement.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧠 AUTO BEST OPTIMIZER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Candle Pressure Flip Engine includes a background optimizer.
The optimizer compares controlled internal combinations of:
• Exhaustion move requirement
• Rejection wick requirement
• Signal score requirement
• Risk/reward target
The optimizer can be set to:
Light 27
Full 81
Light mode tests fewer combinations.
Full mode tests a deeper combination set.
The script can automatically use the best internal combination after enough closed virtual outcomes are collected.
This is controlled by:
🧠 Use Background Optimizer
🧠 Auto Use Best Optimizer Combo
🧠 Optimizer Grid Depth
🧠 Best Combination Ranking
🧠 Minimum Trades For Best Combo
Important note:
The optimizer is an internal visual-analysis feature.
It is not the same as PulseWire Strategy Tester.
It does not include broker execution, spread, slippage, commissions, order delay, partial fills, or real trade management.
It should be treated as a chart-based adaptive review tool, not as a guarantee of improved future performance.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 TARGET / RISK VISUAL SYSTEM
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
When a valid candle pressure flip appears, the script can draw a projected trade plan.
The chart can show:
🎯 Target Zone
⚠️ Risk Zone
📍 Entry Zone
📈 Target line
🛑 Risk line
🏁 WIN / LOSS result stamp
The system uses a single target model.
There are no TP1 / TP2 / TP3 levels in this script.
The default target is based on the selected Risk Reward value.
Default:
Target Risk Reward = 2.0R
The risk distance can be calculated using:
Signal Wick
ATR
Hybrid
The current default risk mode is ATR.
The ATR multiplier used in the model is fixed internally at 4.0.
This creates a consistent risk projection structure.
Important note:
The target and risk boxes are visual projections only.
They are not broker orders.
They do not execute trades.
They do not guarantee that the displayed target or risk will be reached in a profitable way.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🛡️ RISK MODE EXPLANATION
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The script includes three risk modes:
Signal Wick
ATR
Hybrid
Signal Wick mode uses the candle wick area as the risk reference.
ATR mode uses ATR-based distance.
Hybrid mode uses a wider protective logic between wick-based and ATR-based risk.
The purpose of these modes is to give users flexibility in how projected risk zones are visually drawn.
Risk settings affect the chart projection.
They should not be treated as trade recommendations.
Users should always apply their own risk management and validation.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠️ SAME-CANDLE TARGET/RISK HANDLING
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
If both target and risk are touched on the same candle, the true intrabar sequence cannot be known from standard OHLC chart data.
The script includes a setting for this situation:
If Target and Risk Hit Same Bar
Available options:
SL First
TP First
The default is SL First.
This is a conservative assumption.
It helps avoid overly optimistic historical visual results when the true intrabar order is unknown.
Users should understand that this is still an assumption based on available bar data.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🏁 RESULT TRACKING
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The script can track whether a projected setup reaches target or risk first.
Possible result labels:
WIN | TARGET HIT
LOSS | RISK HIT
A WIN label means the projected target zone was reached first according to the script’s bar-based logic.
A LOSS label means the projected risk zone was reached first according to the script’s bar-based logic.
These labels are visual summaries only.
They do not represent broker execution.
They do not include slippage, spread, commissions, order delay, partial fills, liquidity issues, or real entry conditions.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🗂️ HISTORICAL TARGET / RISK BOXES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Candle Pressure Flip Engine can keep previous target and risk boxes on the chart.
This helps users visually review past projected setups.
The script includes a maximum historical trade-plan limit.
This is important because PulseWire has object limits.
Historical visuals may include:
🎯 previous target boxes
⚠️ previous risk boxes
📍 previous entry lines
🏁 previous result labels
🏷️ previous target/risk price tags
Users can reduce the historical object limit if the chart becomes crowded or performance slows down.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🏷️ SIGNAL LABELS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The script displays professional signal labels:
BULLISH FLIP ▲
BEARISH FLIP ▼
A BULLISH FLIP label appears when the script detects a possible bullish candle-pressure shift.
A BEARISH FLIP label appears when the script detects a possible bearish candle-pressure shift.
The arrow icon is included to make direction easier to identify visually.
These labels do not mean the future outcome is guaranteed.
They only mean the script’s internal conditions aligned at that candle.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🩸 CRIMSON SPINE + ECHO + FILL
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Candle Pressure Flip Engine includes a premium visual system called:
Crimson Spine + Echo + Fill
This is not a signal by itself.
It is a visual price-following layer designed to create a clean pressure-aura effect around price.
The system includes:
🩸 one central Crimson Spine
🩸 multiple upper echo layers
🩸 multiple lower echo layers
🩸 soft crimson fill clouds
🩸 optional pulse effect
🩸 adaptive spread based on internal pressure intensity
The purpose of the Crimson Spine system is to enhance chart readability and create a premium visual structure around price.
It can help users visually track price flow, pressure compression, and expansion.
Important note:
The Crimson Spine visual is not a standalone entry signal.
It should not be used by itself as a buy/sell system.
It is a supporting visual layer.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎨 VISUAL THEME SYSTEM
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The script includes multiple visual themes:
Midnight Pro
Ice Minimal
Black Gold
Red Carbon
The theme system affects:
🎨 BULLISH / BEARISH label colors
🎨 Target zone colors
🎨 Risk zone colors
🎨 Result stamp colors
🎨 Entry / target / risk tags
🎨 Candle highlight color
🎨 Glow effects
The script uses a modern chart-first visual style.
It does not include a classic dashboard.
It does not include a large statistics panel.
The goal is to keep the chart clean while still providing strong visual feedback.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🚨 PROFESSIONAL ALERT SYSTEM
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Candle Pressure Flip Engine includes two alert layers:
1. Standard alertcondition() events
2. Dynamic alert() messages
Standard alert conditions are included for compatibility with PulseWire’s normal alert interface.
Dynamic alerts can include more detailed information such as:
🚨 symbol
🚨 timeframe
🚨 direction
🚨 score
🚨 entry
🚨 risk
🚨 target
🚨 RR
🚨 Auto Best state
🚨 result
🚨 Net R
The alert system can be configured using:
🚨 Enable Dynamic Alerts
🚨 Alert Bullish Flips
🚨 Alert Bearish Flips
🚨 Alert Trade Results
🚨 Alert Payload Format
🚨 Include Entry / Risk / Target
🚨 Include Auto Best State
🚨 Alert Tag
Available payload formats:

JSON
Human format is easier to read.
JSON format is more suitable for webhook workflows.
Important note:
Alerts are monitoring tools only.
They are not trade execution instructions.
They do not place orders.
Users must confirm all alerts with their own analysis and risk management.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔔 HOW TO USE ALERTS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
A practical alert workflow:
1. Add Candle Pressure Flip Engine to your chart.
2. Open PulseWire’s alert window.
3. Select the indicator as the alert condition.
4. Choose the desired alert type.
5. For dynamic alert() messages, use “Any alert() function call” if needed.
6. Select alert frequency according to your preference.
7. Use alerts for monitoring only.
8. Confirm each alert manually before making any trading decision.
Alerts may behave differently depending on chart timeframe, symbol, session, and real-time bar updates.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧪 HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
A practical workflow:
1. Add Candle Pressure Flip Engine to your chart.
2. Start with the default settings.
3. Review whether the chart is trending, ranging, or highly volatile.
4. Wait for a BULLISH FLIP ▲ or BEARISH FLIP ▼ label.
5. Review the candle that created the signal.
6. Check whether the move before the signal was extended.
7. Check whether the rejection wick is meaningful.
8. Check whether the candle closed with pressure.
9. Review the target and risk boxes.
10. Review the Crimson Spine visual context.
11. Use alerts if you want automatic monitoring.
12. Validate the signal with your own market structure, liquidity, trend, session, and risk-management rules.
This indicator is best used as a structured visual review tool.
It should not be used as a blind execution system.

🧠 WHAT MAKES THIS SCRIPT ORIGINAL
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Candle Pressure Flip Engine uses familiar concepts such as:
🔥 candle body analysis
🕯️ wick rejection
📍 close-location pressure
📊 volume comparison
🧭 RSI momentum
📏 ATR-based risk projection
🎯 target/risk boxes
🚨 alerts
These concepts are not unique by themselves.
The originality of the script lies in how they are organized into one workflow:
Exhaustion Move
→ Rejection Wick
→ Close Pressure
→ Volume Burst
→ Momentum Flip
→ Internal Score
→ Auto Best Optimizer
→ BULLISH / BEARISH Flip Label
→ Target / Risk Projection
→ Result Tracking
→ Crimson Spine Visual Layer
→ Professional Alerts
This structure is designed to give users a clearer way to review potential candle-pressure reversal conditions.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠️ IMPORTANT PRACTICAL NOTES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The script’s behavior depends heavily on settings.
Signal frequency and visual output may change based on:
🎛️ signal mode
🔥 exhaustion lookback
📏 ATR settings
🕯️ wick requirement
📍 close-pressure threshold
📊 volume settings
🧭 RSI settings
🧠 optimizer settings
🎯 target/risk settings
⏱️ timeframe
📊 symbol volatility
🌐 market session
📚 available historical bars
A configuration that looks clean on one symbol may behave differently on another.
A setting that appears useful on one timeframe may not be useful on another.
Users should test the script on the exact markets and timeframes they personally study.

Indicator
Candle Engine Educativecandle education engine is an educational visual tool designed to help traders study normal candles, heikin ashi candle behavior, reversal candles, and multi-candle pattern sequences directly on the chart.
this script is for education and market study only. it is not financial advice, not a trading strategy, not a signal service, and not a recommendation to buy or sell any asset. the goal is to help users understand candle structure, candle context, and pattern behavior. every label, panel note, score, and alert should be used as a learning reference only.
what this tool does
this indicator is built around three main study areas:
1. normal candle study
the normal candle engine reads standard chart candles and identifies candle structures such as doji, marubozu, engulfing candles, inside bars, hammers, shooting stars, tweezer tops, tweezer bottoms, rejection candles, sweep candles, displacement candles, imbalance candles, exhaustion candles, wide range candles, and compression candles.
this part is designed to be used on a normal candlestick chart.
2. heikin ashi candle study
the heikin ashi engine studies smoothed heikin ashi candle behavior. it can identify strong ha candles, weak ha candles, ha doji candles, ha continuation, ha pullback, ha acceleration, ha color flip, ha exhaustion, ha weakening, and ha reversal conditions.
for best learning, switch your chart to heikin ashi candles when studying the ha sections. this helps beginners compare the script labels with the actual ha candle shape.
3. pattern sequence study
the pattern engine studies one-candle, two-candle, three-candle, four-candle, and five-candle formations. it includes classic and modern patterns such as morning star, evening star, engulfing patterns, harami patterns, piercing line, dark cloud cover, three inside up, three inside down, three outside up, three outside down, three white soldiers, three black crows, rising three methods, falling three methods, traps, breakouts, kickers, and breakaway patterns.
the purpose is not to predict the future. the purpose is to learn how candles combine into structure.
why candles matter
candles show the battle between buyers and sellers during a specific period.
a candle can teach several things:
* the body shows who controlled the open-to-close move
* the wick shows where price was rejected
* the close shows where control finished
* the range shows how much activity happened
* repeated candles show pressure, hesitation, exhaustion, or continuation
* patterns show how control changes across several candles
a candle is not automatically bullish or bearish in every situation. the same candle can have different meaning depending on where it appears. for example, a hammer after a strong drop can be a bullish rejection clue, but a hammer in the middle of a range can simply be noise. a doji is not a buy or sell signal by itself. it teaches indecision and requires confirmation.
how beginners should use this indicator
start slowly. do not activate everything at once.
recommended learning path:
step 1: study normal candles first
use a regular candlestick chart. enable the normal candle engine and a few simple labels such as doji, hammer, shooting star, engulfing, inside bar, rejection, and sweep.
focus on the candle body, wick, close location, and where the candle appears.
step 2: study reversal candles separately
enable the reversal candle module if you want to focus only on candle structures that may teach rejection, exhaustion, liquidity sweep, or control transfer.
this is useful for beginners because it separates reversal education from general candle noise.
step 3: switch to heikin ashi for ha study
when studying the ha module, switch the chart type to heikin ashi. the script calculates ha behavior internally, but visually switching the chart helps you understand why a candle is classified as strong, weak, reversal, exhaustion, or continuation.
heikin ashi is useful for learning trend rhythm, but it smooths price, so it should not replace normal candle study.
step 4: study ha reversal separately
the reversal ha module is designed to focus on ha color flips, ha weakening, ha exhaustion, and possible smoothed reversal behavior.
use it to learn when trend rhythm begins to slow, not as an automatic entry tool.
step 5: study pattern sequences
after learning single candles, enable the pattern engine. start with one-candle and two-candle patterns before studying complex three, four, or five-candle patterns.
multi-candle patterns are easier to understand when you ask:
* what did the first candle show?
* did the second candle confirm or reject it?
* did the final candle close with buyer or seller control?
* did the pattern happen near a meaningful level?
* did the pattern appear in trend, range, pullback, or exhaustion?
step 6: read the panels
the panels are designed as an educational journal. they show recent candle or pattern events with a short educational note. the notes explain what the candle teaches, not what you must trade.

panel colors and transparency control the visual style.
alerts
alerts can notify when selected candle, ha, or pattern events occur.
alerts are educational reminders only. they are not automatic trade signals.
beginners should create alerts only after understanding what each candle or pattern means.
how to interpret bull, bear, and neutral
bull means the candle or pattern teaches buyer pressure, recovery, demand, or bullish rejection.
bear means the candle or pattern teaches seller pressure, rejection, supply, or bearish control.
neutral means the candle or pattern teaches indecision, compression, balance, or a situation where direction is not yet confirmed.
neutral is not useless. neutral candles are important because they often teach patience.
important beginner lessons
do not read a candle alone.
a candle needs context:
* is price trending or ranging?
* did the candle appear near support or resistance?
* did the wick reject a meaningful level?
* did the close confirm control?
* did the next candle follow through?
* is the pattern forming after expansion, compression, or exhaustion?
a pattern is not a guarantee. it is a lesson about structure.
good candles usually have clear body, wick, and close behavior. weak candles are harder to read and need more confirmation.
reversal patterns need extra care. a reversal clue is not a confirmed reversal until price follows through.
continuation patterns need trend context. without trend, continuation patterns can become noise.
compression patterns teach patience. the direction is usually learned after the range breaks.
best beginner workflow
1. use normal candles first.
2. enable only a few basic candle labels.
3. study the educational notes.
4. add reversal candle only when you understand rejection and wick behavior.
5. switch to heikin ashi before studying ha modules.
6. keep ha secondary tags off at first for cleaner reading.
7. enable ha secondary tags later to study extra structure.
8. study pattern sequences after you understand single candles.
9. use the panels as a learning journal.
10. never use one label alone as a trading decision.

Candle Intent Map [AGPro Series]Candle Intent Map
🧠 Core Idea
Does this candle show initiative, absorption, rejection, indecision, or a real shift in intent?
📌 Overview / What it does
Candle Intent Map is a candle behavior and market reaction tool designed to read the internal message of price candles beyond simple bullish or bearish color.
The script evaluates body pressure, wick reaction, close location, volume context, short follow-through, and recent intent changes to classify whether the market is showing initiative, absorption, rejection, indecision, or an intent shift.
It produces compact labels, a visible intent pressure zone, right-side context tags, and a clean AG Pro panel. It does not predict price, automate decisions, or promise that a candle pattern will continue.
🎯 Purpose & Design Philosophy
This script was built because many candlestick tools stop at basic pattern recognition.
A candle is not only a shape. It is a relationship between body commitment, wick reaction, volume participation, close location, and what happens immediately after that candle forms.
Candle Intent Map helps traders who want to read candle quality, initiative pressure, reaction zones, and follow-through context without turning the chart into a crowded pattern scanner.
⚡ Why This Script Is Different
Most candle tools focus on named formations such as engulfing candles, pin bars, doji candles, or simple color changes.
This script does NOT treat every candle pattern as an automatic signal.
Instead, it studies whether the candle has enough internal pressure, reaction quality, volume context, and follow-through to deserve attention.
The goal is not to label more candles. The goal is to label the candles that tell a clearer market story.
⚙️ Methodology
1. Context Detection
The script measures body-to-range ratio, upper wick pressure, lower wick pressure, close location, and relative volume participation.
2. Intent Classification
Candles are classified into initiative, absorption, rejection, indecision, or intent shift conditions based on body pressure, wick behavior, and directional commitment.
3. Reaction Evaluation
The script builds a reaction-quality score using body strength, wick reaction, close placement, volume context, and short follow-through behavior.
4. Visual Output
The strongest current candle intent context is mapped as a visible intent zone, compact event labels, right-side state tags, and a structured AG Pro panel.
🗺️ How to Read the Chart
Zones represent the most recent candle intent pressure area.
Labels show important candle intent events such as bullish intent, bearish intent, absorption, rejection, indecision, or intent shift.
Colors separate constructive pressure, defensive pressure, neutral reaction, and absorption-style behavior.
The panel summarizes current intent, direction, body pressure, wick reaction, follow-through, quality score, and next context.
🚦 Signals & States
• BULL INTENT → bullish body pressure with meaningful close location and participation
• BEAR INTENT → bearish body pressure with meaningful close location and participation
• ABSORPTION → strong reaction behavior with compressed body and meaningful volume
• LOWER REJECT → lower wick reaction suggesting downside rejection
• UPPER REJECT → upper wick reaction suggesting upside rejection
• INDECISION → low body commitment with balanced wick behavior
• INTENT SHIFT → recent candle intent changes direction with enough pressure to matter
🔔 Alerts Logic
Alerts trigger when the script detects bullish candle intent, bearish candle intent, candle absorption, or candle intent shift.
These alerts are attention markers only. They highlight a candle context that may deserve review, not a trade instruction.
🧩 Confluence Logic
The strongest context appears when candle body pressure, wick reaction, close location, volume participation, and follow-through point in the same direction.
When these components align, the candle intent quality score becomes stronger.
📊 When to Use
• During active trend continuation phases
• Around reaction zones and pullback areas
• Near support, resistance, VWAP, or liquidity references
• When evaluating whether a candle has real participation behind it
• When comparing initiative candles against absorption or rejection candles
⚠️ When NOT to Use
• Extremely illiquid markets
• Very noisy low-timeframe environments
• News-driven candles with abnormal spreads
• Symbols with unreliable volume data
• Situations where broader market context is ignored
🎛️ Key Inputs
• Volume Context Length → controls the relative volume comparison window
• Follow-Through Length → controls how short-term continuation is measured
• Initiative Body Ratio → changes how strict the initiative candle filter is
• Reaction Wick Ratio → changes how strict wick-based rejection and absorption filters are
• Visible Zone Bars → controls how much of the recent chart the intent zone covers
• Label and Panel Font Size → controls visual readability
🖥️ Interface & Visual Design
The interface is designed to stay clean, readable, and publication-friendly.
The chart focuses on one main intent zone, compact event labels, right-side context tags, and a structured panel.
The visual hierarchy is intentional: zone first, current state second, historical intent events third.
🧪 Practical Usage Workflow
1. Read the panel to understand the current candle intent state
2. Check the intent zone and its position relative to price
3. Review recent labels to understand whether initiative, absorption, or rejection has dominated
4. Compare the quality score with current follow-through
5. Interpret the output inside broader market context
🔍 Interpretation Guidelines
A strong intent label does not mean price must continue.
A rejection label does not mean reversal is guaranteed.
An absorption label means the candle structure showed reaction and participation, but confirmation still depends on the following market behavior.
The best interpretation comes from combining candle intent with structure, liquidity, volatility, and timeframe context.
🚫 What This Script Is NOT
This script is not a prediction engine.
It is not financial advice.
It is not an auto-trading system.
It does not provide guaranteed buy or sell signals.
It does not replace risk management or independent analysis.
⚠️ Limitations & Transparency
Candlestick interpretation changes across timeframes.
Volume quality may differ between markets and exchanges.
Fast volatility expansion can make recent candle intent less stable.
Low-liquidity conditions may create misleading wick or body readings.
Users should always interpret outputs within broader market context.
🧠 Market Context Notes
Candle intent is most useful when combined with structure, liquidity, trend quality, volatility, and acceptance behavior.
One candle rarely tells the whole story. The value comes from understanding whether candle pressure is supported or rejected by what comes next.
🧾 Use Case Examples
When price reaches a known support area and the script prints a lower rejection label with improving quality, the trader can study whether downside pressure is being rejected.
When a strong body candle prints with high quality and follow-through, the trader can evaluate whether initiative pressure is entering the market.
When absorption appears inside a range, the trader can watch whether trapped pressure develops or fades.
🧱 System Philosophy
Candle Intent Map is part of the AGPro Series approach: clean visual tools that focus on market context, reaction quality, and decision support rather than prediction claims.
The script is designed to make candle behavior easier to read while keeping the trader responsible for interpretation.
🔐 Non-Promise Statement
No script can know the future.
No candle label guarantees continuation or reversal.
This tool provides structured visual context only.
📉 Risk Disclosure
Trading involves risk.
Market conditions can change quickly.
All decisions remain the responsibility of the user.
This script does not provide financial advice or guaranteed trading outcomes.
📚 Educational Note
Use this script as an educational and analytical companion for studying candle behavior, reaction quality, and short-term intent context.

Precision Candle Close Alert [Anti-Lag] for Scalper & DaytraderAs a scalper or day trader, timing is everything. Standard PulseWire alerts often fire 2-3 seconds after the candle has closed due to tick-dependency and server lag. If you are trading the 1m or 5m chart, that delay can cost you money.
The Candle Close Alert (CCA) solves this problem. It is designed for absolute precision and includes a built-in "Anti-Lag" feature. This allows you to trigger the alert slightly before the actual close. By the time the push notification or sound reaches your device, the candle is closing at that exact millisecond.
Key Features:
⚡ Anti-Lag Offset: Compensate for server delays by firing the alert a customizable number of seconds (e.g., 2s) before the candle actually closes.
🎯 True Close Only: Uses strict condition matching to ensure the alert NEVER fires randomly in the middle of a candle. It only triggers on the exact target close.
🔢 Custom Alert Limit: Set a maximum number of alerts (e.g., alert me for the next 5 closes, then automatically stop).
🔄 One-Click Reset: Easily reset the alert counter directly from the indicator settings without having to delete and recreate the alert.
⏱️ Multi-Timeframe Support: Select your target timeframe (from 1m up to Monthly) independently of your current chart resolution.
How to set it up correctly:
Add the indicator to your chart. (Note: Your chart timeframe must be equal to or lower than your selected alert timeframe).
Open the indicator settings and set your target timeframe, the max alert count, and the Anti-Lag Offset (2 to 3 seconds is the recommended sweet spot).
Open the PulseWire Alert Menu (clock icon) and click "Create Alert".
Condition: Select "Candle Close Alert" -> "Any alert() function call".
Go to the "Notifications" tab, check "Play Sound", and select a specific sound for this alert.
Click "Create".
Note: Because Pine Script triggers on price ticks, the anti-lag feature will fire on the first tick that occurs within your defined pre-close window.

Body Close Break Planner [AGPro Series]TITLE
Body Close Break Planner
🧠 Core Idea
Did price break structure with real body-close acceptance, or was the move only a wick event with weak commitment?
📌 Overview / What it does
Body Close Break Planner is built to evaluate whether a structure break is being accepted with real candle-body commitment. Instead of reacting to every wick beyond a prior high or low, the script focuses on closes that actually establish acceptance beyond the rail.
The script maps the body break rail, an acceptance pocket, a retest shelf, a failure rail, and a first target-room reference. It also adds event labels, right-side tags, and a compact AG Pro panel that summarizes the quality of the active break with a 0-100 Body Break Score.
This script does not predict trend continuation, automate entries, or treat every breakout as valid. It is a rule-based analytical and visualization tool that helps users separate real body-close structure acceptance from weaker noise-driven break attempts.
🎯 Purpose & Design Philosophy
This script was built to solve a very common structural problem: many breakout candles look convincing in the moment, but the move fails because the market never achieved real closing acceptance beyond the level.
The tool was designed for traders who want to evaluate whether a break has genuine body-based commitment, whether the first retest is constructive, and where the structure fails if acceptance is lost.
The mindset behind the script is selective, disciplined, and evidence-based. It supports traders who want to read acceptance quality rather than react to every temporary excursion beyond a level.
⚡ Why This Script Is Different
Most breakout tools focus on level crossing, wick penetration, or generic break-and-retest behavior.
This script does NOT treat every breach of structure as a meaningful breakout.
Instead, it asks whether the move closed through structure with enough body commitment, whether price is still being accepted beyond the rail, whether the retest shelf improves the setup, and whether the move still has room before it becomes extended or fails.
⚙️ Methodology
1. Context Detection
The script maps recent structure highs and lows, then checks whether price closes beyond them with enough candle-body commitment and range expansion.
2. Reference Mapping
Once a valid body-close break is confirmed, the script locks the broken rail, builds an acceptance pocket, marks a retest shelf, and defines a failure line plus a first target-room reference.
3. Reaction Evaluation
Price is then reviewed against the body-break rail and the retest shelf. The script checks whether the move is still accepted, whether the retest improves the structure, or whether the breakout falls back through the failure boundary.
4. Visual Output
The final output includes the acceptance pocket, body-break rail, retest shelf, failure rail, room line, event labels, right-side tags, and dashboard panel.
🗺️ How to Read the Chart
Zones:
The acceptance pocket represents the active post-break area where structure acceptance is being judged.
Labels:
Labels identify new bullish or bearish body-close breaks, accepted structure, retest-ready behavior, target review, and failed breaks.
Colors:
Teal represents stronger constructive break behavior.
Pink represents bearish or failed context.
Gold represents review areas such as target-room interaction.
Indigo represents the main body-break rail.
Panel:
The panel summarizes the active break type, the Body Break Score, current acceptance quality, available room, and the current action state.
🚦 Signals & States
• Bull Break → A bullish body-close structure break has been detected.
• Bear Break → A bearish body-close structure break has been detected.
• Body Accepted → Price is still being accepted beyond the broken structure rail.
• Retest Ready → Price interacted with the retest shelf constructively and the setup quality improved.
• Target Review → The first projected room reference has been reached and context should be reassessed.
• Failed → Price moved back through the failure boundary and the break is no longer structurally clean.
• Wait Break → No valid active body-close break exists.
• Expired → The break is too old to remain active within the current framework.
🔔 Alerts Logic
Alerts can trigger when a new bullish or bearish body-close break is detected, when structure remains accepted, when a retest shelf strengthens the setup, when target room is reached, or when the break fails.
Alerts are attention markers only. They highlight structural events inside the script logic. They are not trade instructions, automated entries, or guarantees of follow-through.
🧩 Confluence Logic
The context becomes stronger when multiple conditions align together.
For example, a structure break with a strong body ratio, clean range expansion, stable hold beyond the break rail, and a constructive retest shelf interaction is much stronger than a shallow close that immediately falls back into the old range.
When body commitment, breakout range, retest quality, and available room align together, the context becomes structurally more reliable.
📊 When to Use
• Breakout or breakdown environments where close quality matters
• Markets with clean price structure and readable swing levels
• Crypto, forex, indices, and liquid stocks
• 1H, 4H, and 1D chart review
• Situations where wick-only breaks create repeated false positives
⚠️ When NOT to Use
• Illiquid markets with distorted price prints
• Extremely noisy sessions with poor candle quality
• Very low-range environments where closes carry little structural information
• Symbols dominated by gaps or erratic price jumps
• Conditions where the market repeatedly overshoots levels without clean follow-through
🎛️ Key Inputs
• Structure Lookback → Controls how recent highs and lows are mapped
• Minimum Range Ratio → Controls how much expansion is required before a break qualifies
• Minimum Body / Range → Filters out weak closes and wick-dominant candles
• Close Buffer ATR → Controls how far beyond structure the close must finish
• Acceptance Pocket ATR → Controls the depth of the post-break pocket
• Retest Shelf Buffer → Controls how shelf interactions are interpreted
• Failure Buffer ATR → Controls where the active break becomes invalid
• Visual Settings → Control labels, panel location, theme, font size, and optional chart styling
🖥️ Interface & Visual Design
The interface is designed to answer one question quickly: is this break actually being accepted?
The panel creates a clean information hierarchy so the user can understand break state, score, room, and current action without reading every chart element manually. The chart layer keeps the acceptance pocket, body-break rail, failure line, and room reference readable without overwhelming candles.
The visual intent is professional, premium, and publication-friendly rather than decorative.
🧪 Practical Usage Workflow
1. Read the panel to confirm whether a valid body-close break is active
2. Check the body-break rail and acceptance pocket
3. Evaluate whether price is simply holding or whether the retest shelf improved the structure
4. Review room to the target reference and distance to failure
5. Use labels and tags as context markers, not as direct commands
🔍 Interpretation Guidelines
A stronger score suggests better body commitment, healthier range expansion, and more reliable post-break structure.
A Body Accepted state means price is still holding beyond the broken rail, but it does not automatically mean the move is early or low-risk.
A Retest Ready state suggests the market pulled back in a controlled way and defended the structure more convincingly.
A Target Review state suggests that the first projected room objective has already been reached and the context should be reassessed rather than assumed to continue indefinitely.
🚫 What This Script Is NOT
This script is not a prediction engine.
This script is not financial advice.
This script is not an automated trading system.
This script does not place orders.
This script does not guarantee continuation, retest success, target reach, or profitability.
⚠️ Limitations & Transparency
This script is rule-based and depends on the quality of the underlying market structure.
Different timeframes can produce very different break quality profiles. In high-volatility or low-liquidity conditions, candle closes may appear meaningful while still failing quickly. In some markets, wick behavior may remain important even when the body-close break model is intentionally strict.
Outputs should always be interpreted within broader market context rather than in isolation.
🧠 Market Context Notes
Body-close acceptance often matters most around obvious swing highs, swing lows, range edges, and post-compression expansion points.
A wick beyond structure can attract attention, but a true close beyond structure often tells a more reliable story about commitment. Even so, not every accepted break becomes a trend. Some become retest traps, and some run directly into higher-timeframe resistance or support.
🧾 Use Case Examples
Example 1:
Price closes above a well-defined swing high with a strong body and good expansion. The script marks a bull break, builds the acceptance pocket, and later upgrades the context when the retest shelf holds.
Example 2:
Price breaks below a swing low with body commitment, but then quickly closes back through the failure boundary. The script marks the break as failed, signaling that the downside acceptance did not hold.
Example 3:
A strong body-close break remains accepted and quickly reaches the first target-room line. The script marks target review, reminding the user to reassess efficiency and extension.
🧱 System Philosophy
AGPro Series tools are built as decision-support frameworks, not generic signal generators.
The philosophy here is to reward quality over noise: stronger closes, cleaner acceptance, clearer structure, and more readable post-break behavior.
🔐 Non-Promise Statement
This script does not promise certainty.
It does not promise that a body-close break will continue, hold, retest cleanly, or reach its projected room. It only organizes the structure so the user can evaluate the break with more discipline and clarity.
📉 Risk Disclosure
Trading involves risk.
Market conditions can change quickly, and any analytical tool can become less reliable under shifting volatility, liquidity, or structural conditions. Users remain fully responsible for their own decisions, execution, and risk management.
This script is for educational and analytical purposes only. It does not provide financial advice.
📚 Educational Note
This tool is most effective when combined with broader market structure, liquidity awareness, and disciplined trade management.
It is designed to improve interpretation quality, not to replace critical thinking.

Wick Absorption Reversal Planner [AGPro Series]Wick Absorption Reversal Planner
🧠 Core Idea
Is an extended wick showing absorption, and did the candle body reclaim enough structure to treat the reversal context seriously?
📌 Overview / What it does
Wick Absorption Reversal Planner maps extended wick reactions as absorption pockets and evaluates whether price can reclaim the body rail after that reaction.
The script displays a wick absorption pocket, body reclaim rail, failure shelf, room reference, event labels, right-side tags, optional bar coloring, and a compact AG Pro dashboard with a 0-100 reversal score.
It does not predict reversals. It helps organize wick absorption, body reclaim quality, pressure, room, invalidation, and action state.
🎯 Purpose & Design Philosophy
Many candle tools label rejection candles, engulfing candles, or generic wick events.
This script was built for the next layer: whether the wick reaction is being absorbed and whether the candle body can reclaim the important zone afterward.
It helps traders separate random wick noise from a structured absorption pocket with a body reclaim rail and failure logic.
⚡ Why This Script Is Different
Most wick indicators focus on the wick itself.
This script does NOT treat every long wick as a reversal signal.
Instead, it maps the wick pocket, checks body reclaim, measures pressure and room, and gives a clear action state. The goal is interpretation, not prediction.
⚙️ Methodology
1. Wick Absorption Detection
The script checks upper and lower wick size relative to ATR and total candle range.
2. Context Mapping
The wick is compared with recent structure to avoid treating every isolated candle as meaningful.
3. Body Reclaim Evaluation
After a wick absorption pocket is detected, the body reclaim rail becomes the key threshold for reversal planning.
4. Visual Output
The chart receives the wick pocket, body reclaim rail, failure shelf, room rail, labels, right-side tags, optional bar coloring, and dashboard panel.
🗺️ How to Read the Chart
The wick absorption pocket marks the area created by the extended wick reaction.
The body reclaim rail shows the level price needs to recover for the reversal context to improve.
The failure shelf marks where the absorption context fails.
The room rail marks the nearest structure reference in the reversal direction.
Labels highlight wick absorption, body reclaim, pocket pressure, room tests, and absorption failure.
Colors represent context:
• Teal → bullish wick absorption
• Pink → bearish wick absorption or failure
• Gold → room reference or waiting context
• Indigo → pocket pressure or monitoring context
The panel summarizes:
• Pocket
• Reversal Score
• Pressure
• Room
• Action
🚦 Signals & States
• Bull Wick Absorption → lower wick absorption pocket detected
• Bear Wick Absorption → upper wick absorption pocket detected
• Body Reclaim → price reclaimed the body rail after absorption
• Pocket Pressure → price is testing the wick pocket without clean reclaim
• Room Test → price reached the active room reference
• Absorption Failed → price crossed the failure shelf
• READY → body reclaim and score quality are strong enough to monitor
• MONITOR → pocket or reclaim context is active but not fully ready
• WAIT → no strong active context exists
• INVALIDATED → the wick absorption context failed
• EXPIRED → the pocket is too old to remain active
🔔 Alerts Logic
Alerts can trigger when a bullish or bearish wick absorption pocket appears, when body reclaim appears, when READY state appears, when pocket pressure appears, when the room rail is reached, or when absorption fails.
Alerts are attention markers only. They are not trade instructions.
🧩 Confluence Logic
The context becomes stronger when wick size, wick-to-range ratio, structural location, participation, body reclaim, and room align.
For example, a lower wick into recent structure followed by body reclaim and available room is more useful than a random wick in the middle of noisy price action.
📊 When to Use
• Reversal watch areas after extended wicks
• Support/resistance reactions with visible rejection
• Pullbacks where wick absorption may matter
• Failed breakdown or failed breakout reactions
• Liquid symbols with readable candles and stable spreads
• 1h, 4h, and 1D charts where wick structure is visible
⚠️ When NOT to Use
• Very low-liquidity markets
• Symbols with unreliable candle structure
• Random spike candles from illiquid prints
• News candles with unstable spreads
• Extremely noisy ranges where every candle has exaggerated wicks
🎛️ Key Inputs
• ATR Length → controls normalization for wick size and visual spacing
• Wick Context Lookback → controls structural comparison
• Minimum Wick ATR → controls required wick size
• Minimum Wick / Range → controls required wick dominance inside the candle
• Minimum Relative Volume → filters very thin wick reactions
• Body Reclaim Buffer ATR → controls the reclaim rail threshold
• Failure Buffer ATR → controls where absorption fails
• Room Lookback → controls the room reference
• Visual settings → control pocket, rails, labels, tags, panel, and bar colors
🖥️ Interface & Visual Design
The visual hierarchy is designed around the wick pocket first, then the reclaim rail.
The pocket defines the reaction, the body reclaim rail defines improvement, the failure shelf defines risk, and the panel gives a quick state read.
The goal is a premium wick absorption map without turning the chart into a generic candle-label board.
🧪 Practical Usage Workflow
1. Check whether a wick absorption pocket is active
2. Read the reversal score and action state
3. Inspect the body reclaim rail
4. Compare pocket pressure with room
5. Watch the failure shelf
6. Confirm the context with broader structure and timeframe alignment
🔍 Interpretation Guidelines
A wick absorption pocket means the candle showed a meaningful wick reaction in context.
Body reclaim means price recovered the reclaim rail after the wick reaction.
READY means the rule-based context has enough quality to monitor.
Room is a reference for structure, not a promised target.
🚫 What This Script Is NOT
This script is not a prediction engine.
It is not a guaranteed reversal system.
It is not a generic candle pattern detector.
It is not a volume absorption zone engine.
It is not an automated trading tool.
It does not provide financial advice.
It does not guarantee reversal, continuation, profit, or a specific target.
⚠️ Limitations & Transparency
Wick behavior depends on market structure, liquidity, volatility, session conditions, and timeframe.
Some long wicks are random noise.
Some absorption pockets may fail quickly.
The score is a rule-based context score, not a certainty model.
🧠 Market Context Notes
Wicks can show rejection, absorption, stop activity, or simply noise.
The key question is whether price can reclaim the body rail after the wick event.
Use the pocket as context, not as confirmation by itself.
🧾 Use Case Examples
When price prints a long lower wick into recent structure, the script can map a bullish wick absorption pocket.
If price later reclaims the body rail, the script marks body reclaim and updates the panel state.
If price loses the failure shelf, the script marks absorption failure.
🧱 System Philosophy
This script follows the AGPro Series approach: turn a familiar chart behavior into a structured decision-support map.
The focus is not prediction. The focus is wick context, body reclaim, pressure, room, invalidation awareness, and visual clarity.
🔐 Non-Promise Statement
No script can remove uncertainty from markets.
This tool does not promise accuracy, profitability, or future price movement.
Its purpose is to organize wick absorption context so the user can interpret the chart more clearly.
📉 Risk Disclosure
Trading involves risk.
Market conditions can change quickly, and any analytical output can fail.
Users are responsible for their own decisions, risk management, and trade execution.
This script is for educational and analytical purposes only and does not provide financial advice.
📚 Educational Note
Do not read a wick by itself.
The strongest reads usually come when wick absorption, body reclaim, structure, participation, and room align.

Candle Rejection Quality Planner [AGPro Series]Candle Rejection Quality Planner
🧠 Core Idea
Is the rejection candle strong enough to create a valid planning context, or is it only a noisy wick?
📌 Overview / What it does
Candle Rejection Quality Planner is a chart-first rejection candle decision tool designed to evaluate wick-led rejection without turning the chart into a generic candlestick signal map.
The script identifies bullish and bearish rejection candles, scores their quality from 0 to 100, then tracks what happens next through a confirmation rail, failure edge, target-room guide, wick quality zone, compact labels, alerts, and a clean AG Pro planning panel.
It does not predict future price movement, automate entries, print buy/sell commands, or replace broader market context. Its purpose is to help traders judge whether a rejection candle has enough structure to deserve attention.
🎯 Purpose & Design Philosophy
This script was built to fill the gap between simple wick markers and broader reversal systems.
Many traders can see a long wick. The harder question is whether that wick has enough close quality, candle range, participation, and follow-through potential to become useful context.
The design supports a planner mindset: evaluate the candle, define the confirmation level, know where the idea weakens, and wait for the next state instead of reacting to every wick.
⚡ Why This Script Is Different
Most tools focus on detecting a named candle pattern such as a pin bar, engulfing candle, or generic rejection marker.
This script does NOT clone Pin Bar Quality Filter, Engulfing Candle Quality, Rejection Block Quality, order block logic, liquidity sweep logic, or a broad candlestick scanner.
Instead, it focuses on the planning process after a rejection candle appears: quality score, confirmation rail, failure edge, target-room guide, and next-action state. The candle is not treated as an entry by itself. It is treated as a context that must prove itself.
⚙️ Methodology
1. Context Detection
The script measures candle range, upper wick, lower wick, close location, and relative volume to detect wick-led rejection context.
2. Reference Mapping
When a qualified rejection candle appears, the planner maps a wick quality zone, confirmation rail, failure edge, and target-room guide.
3. Reaction Evaluation
The model updates the 0-100 Rejection Quality score as confirmation develops, pressure works against the candle, time passes, or price reaches the planning guide.
4. Visual Output
The chart displays the wick zone, rail, guide lines, controlled labels, candle tint, alerts, and AG Pro panel.
🗺️ How to Read the Chart
Zones = the rejected wick area of the qualifying candle. The zone is a candle-quality reference, not a support/resistance map.
Labels = rejection context, confirmation, failure edge breaks, target-room completion, and sparse active-state markers.
Colors = teal supports bullish rejection context, pink marks bearish rejection or failure pressure, yellow marks caution, and indigo marks confirmation review.
Panel = a compact decision view showing Candle Side, Rejection Quality, Confirmation, Failure Risk, and Action.

• Bullish Rejection → lower wick rejection with stronger close location and sufficient quality.
• Bearish Rejection → upper wick rejection with weaker close location and sufficient quality.
• Awaiting Confirmation → a qualified rejection exists, but price has not accepted beyond the rail.
• Confirmed → price accepted beyond the confirmation rail.
• Failure Edge Broken → the rejection context lost its defined failure edge.
• Target Room Reached → price reached the planning guide mapped from the rejection context.
🔔 Alerts Logic
Alerts can trigger when a qualified rejection candle opens a new context, when confirmation rail acceptance appears, when the failure edge breaks, when target room is reached, or when the active planner state changes.
Alerts are attention markers. They are not trade instructions and do not imply a guaranteed outcome.
🧩 Confluence Logic
The strongest planner states appear when wick dominance, close location, reasonable candle range, supportive volume, and confirmation beyond the rail align together.
When those elements are weaker or delayed, the planner shifts toward monitor, weak confirmation, expired context, or invalidated state.
📊 When to Use
• Price-action review around visible reaction candles
• Liquid symbols where candle range and volume are readable
• Intraday or swing charts where wick rejection can be evaluated with ATR context
• Discretionary planning workflows that need confirmation and failure references
⚠️ When NOT to Use
• Extremely low-liquidity symbols with unreliable candles
• Very noisy low-timeframe charts where wicks appear randomly
• News spikes where candle range is distorted
• Situations where broader market structure is being ignored
🎛️ Key Inputs
• Sensitivity → changes how selective the rejection engine is.
• Minimum Rejection Quality → sets the 0-100 score required before a context appears.
• Dominant Wick Share → controls how much wick dominance is required.
• Close Location Quality → controls how strongly price must close away from the rejected wick.
• Confirmation Window → controls how long the script waits for follow-through.
• Failure Edge Buffer → defines the invalidation reference beyond the rejection wick.
• Target-Room Guide R → draws the planning guide from rejection close to failure edge distance.
• Visual settings → control zones, rails, labels, candle tint, panel location, panel theme, and font sizes.
🖥️ Interface & Visual Design
The interface is intentionally compact and chart-first.
The wick quality zone keeps attention on the candle that created the context. The confirmation rail and failure edge create a structured review path. The AG Pro panel summarizes the current state without covering the chart with a broad dashboard.
🧪 Practical Usage Workflow
1. Read the panel and identify the active candle side.
2. Check the wick quality zone and confirmation rail.
3. Watch whether price confirms, weakens, expires, or breaks the failure edge.
4. Use the target-room guide as a planning reference, not as a promise.
🔍 Interpretation Guidelines
A stronger score means the rejection candle has cleaner wick dominance, better close location, a more useful candle range, and stronger participation support.
A confirmed state means price has accepted beyond the rail according to the script rules.
A failed state means the active rejection context lost its defined failure edge.
🚫 What This Script Is NOT
• Not a prediction engine
• Not financial advice
• Not auto trading
• Not guaranteed signals
• Not a pin bar clone
• Not an engulfing candle detector
• Not a generic support/resistance or order block map
⚠️ Limitations & Transparency
The script is rule-based and depends on candle structure, ATR, relative volume, and follow-through behavior.
Different timeframes can change how rejection appears. Volatility spikes can distort candle range and failure distance. Symbols with unreliable volume may produce weaker participation readings.
Outputs should always be interpreted within broader market structure, liquidity, volatility, and personal risk rules.
🧠 Market Context Notes
Rejection candles often matter more when they appear near meaningful structure, after a directional push, or during a volatility expansion attempt. The script intentionally does not build a full structure map because its narrow job is candle rejection planning.
🧾 Use Case Examples
When a candle prints a strong lower wick, closes high in its range, and then accepts above the confirmation rail, the planner may classify the context as ready for review.
When a strong upper wick appears but price fails to move beyond the confirmation rail and later breaks the failure edge, the planner marks the context as invalidated.
🧱 System Philosophy
AGPro Series tools are designed to convert visual market behavior into structured review states. This script follows that philosophy by turning a single rejection candle into a defined planning context with quality, confirmation, risk, and action fields.
🔐 Non-Promise Statement
No script can provide certainty.
No rejection candle guarantees continuation, reversal, or profitable execution.
📉 Risk Disclosure
Trading involves risk. This script is for technical analysis and educational use only.
Users remain responsible for their own analysis, position sizing, execution decisions, and risk management.
This script does not provide financial advice or guaranteed trading outcomes.
📚 Educational Note
Use the tool to study how rejection candles behave after they appear. The value is in structured observation, not automatic decision-making.

Candle Expansion Readiness [AGPro Series]Candle Expansion Readiness
🧠 Core Idea
Is the current candle expansion meaningful enough to monitor, or is it only a noisy wide candle?
📌 Overview / What it does
Candle Expansion Readiness is a chart-first candle quality planner built to evaluate whether an active expansion candle has enough structure to deserve attention.
Instead of treating every wide candle as important, the script studies body efficiency, wick control, relative volume, ATR-normalized expansion, recent range behavior, and close location. These components are converted into a 0-100 Expansion Readiness Score with a clear state: READY, WATCH, FADE RISK, or WAIT.
The script produces expansion candle labels, a forward follow-through box, risk edge, target guide, failure/fade states, alerts, and a clean AGPro planning panel. It does not predict future price movement, automate decisions, or guarantee that an expansion candle will continue.
🎯 Purpose & Design Philosophy
This script was built for traders who want a cleaner way to judge expansion candles before reacting to them.
The gap it fills is practical: many candle tools mark a candle after it appears, but they do not explain whether that candle is efficient, supported, close-positioned, and monitorable. Candle Expansion Readiness turns that moment into a structured planning question.
The design supports a decision-first workflow: read the candle quality, check whether follow-through is developing, identify the risk edge, and decide whether the context deserves more attention.
⚡ Why This Script Is Different
Most tools focus on large candles, volume spikes, engulfing patterns, institutional candle labels, or general breakout signals.
This script does NOT clone Institutional Candle Detector, does not classify candles into institutional taxonomies, does not build an absorption system, and does not act as a generic breakout-volume tool.
Instead, it evaluates the current expansion candle as a readiness event. The output is not a trade command. It is a planning state that helps users separate monitorable expansion from weak, noisy, or fading candle behavior.
⚙️ Methodology
1. Context Detection
The script reads the active candle side from candle direction and close behavior, or lets the user force bullish or bearish readiness mode.
2. Reference Mapping
It maps the expansion candle, risk edge, follow-through window, and target guide.
3. Reaction Evaluation
The model scores body efficiency, wick control, relative volume, ATR expansion, recent range expansion, and directional close location.
4. Visual Output
The result appears through compact labels, candle glow, a forward follow-through box, risk edge, target guide, deterministic alerts, and the AGPro planning panel.
🗺️ How to Read the Chart
Zones = the follow-through box shows the monitored area from the expansion risk edge toward the target guide. Its label is centered inside the box.
Labels = compact markers show READY, WATCH, DOWNGRADE, CONFIRMED, INVALID, or FADED context.
Colors = green highlights stronger bullish readiness or confirmation, pink highlights bearish or invalidated context, amber highlights caution, and indigo highlights watch behavior.
Panel = the panel summarizes Candle Efficiency, Volume Support, Expansion Score, Follow-Through, and Action.
🚦 Signals & States
• READY → candle expansion quality is strong enough to monitor.
• WATCH → candle quality is improving but confirmation is incomplete.
• FADE RISK → the candle expanded, but wick or close behavior is weak.
• CONFIRMED → follow-through reached the active target guide.
• INVALIDATED → price crossed the active risk edge.
• FADED → the follow-through window expired without confirmation.
• WAIT → no strong enough expansion context is active.
🔔 Alerts Logic
Alerts trigger when the planner enters READY state, downgrades from READY or WATCH, crosses the active risk edge, confirms at the target guide, or fades after the follow-through window.
These alerts are attention markers only. They are not trade instructions, entry signals, or automated strategy commands.
🧩 Confluence Logic
The readiness state becomes stronger when body efficiency, close location, relative volume, ATR expansion, and wick control align on the same candle.
When those elements align and the follow-through box remains active without risk-edge violation, the candle context becomes cleaner. When the score is high but follow-through fails, the planner intentionally downgrades the context instead of ignoring the failure.
📊 When to Use
• Active intraday or swing charts where candle expansion matters.
• Breakout attempts where candle quality needs review.
• Continuation moves that require follow-through monitoring.
• Reversal attempts where the trader wants to know whether the impulse candle is efficient or noisy.
• Liquid symbols with reliable OHLC and volume data.
⚠️ When NOT to Use
• Very low-liquidity markets with unreliable candles.
• Extremely noisy sessions where wide candles fail repeatedly.
• Symbols with poor or missing volume data if volume support is central to your workflow.
• News-driven spikes where normal candle-quality rules may lose relevance.
• As a standalone entry system without broader market context.
🎛️ Key Inputs
• Sensitivity → controls how strict the readiness model is.
• Expansion Lookback → compares the current candle to recent range behavior.
• READY Threshold → minimum 0-100 score required for READY state.
• Confirmation Mode → controls whether close quality alone is enough or whether volume/edge confirmation is required.
• Follow-Through Bars → defines how long the script monitors the active expansion.
• Risk Edge Buffer ATR → moves the invalidation reference slightly beyond the candle edge.
• Visual settings → control boxes, risk edge, target guide, candle glow, labels, panel theme, and font sizes.
🖥️ Interface & Visual Design
The interface is designed to stay chart-first.
The panel gives the current decision state without becoming a crowded dashboard. The follow-through box creates a clean visual planning area, while compact labels keep the chart active without burying price candles.
The first panel row follows the AGPro merged blue header standard and shows only the script name.
🧪 Practical Usage Workflow
1. Read the Expansion Score and Action row.
2. Check whether the candle is READY, WATCH, or FADE RISK.
3. If READY appears, inspect the follow-through box and risk edge.
4. Watch whether price confirms, fades, or invalidates.
5. Interpret the result within your broader structure, liquidity, and risk plan.
🔍 Interpretation Guidelines
Think of the script as a candle expansion planner, not a signal caller.
A READY candle deserves attention because its structure is cleaner than average. A WATCH candle needs more evidence. A FADE RISK candle warns that expansion exists, but the candle quality is not clean. INVALIDATED and FADED states are part of the workflow because failed expansion is useful information.
🚫 What This Script Is NOT
• Not a prediction engine.
• Not financial advice.
• Not auto trading.
• Not guaranteed signals.
• Not an institutional candle detector.
• Not an order block, fair value gap, or support/resistance map.
⚠️ Limitations & Transparency
• Timeframe differences can change how expansion candles appear.
• Volatility spikes can temporarily distort candle-quality readings.
• Volume data may differ by exchange, broker, symbol, and feed.
• Follow-through is evaluated through a fixed monitoring window.
• Market conditions can shift after a READY candle appears.
🧠 Market Context Notes
Candle expansion is most useful when interpreted with liquidity, structure, volatility, and location.
The script focuses on the candle itself and the immediate follow-through plan. Traders should still consider broader trend context, nearby levels, session behavior, and event risk.
🧾 Use Case Examples
When a bullish candle closes near its high with strong body efficiency and relative volume, the script may mark READY and project a follow-through box above the risk edge.
When a wide candle has heavy wick behavior and poor close location, the script may flag FADE RISK instead of treating the candle as clean expansion.
When a READY candle fails back through its risk edge, the active plan becomes INVALIDATED.
🧱 System Philosophy
AGPro tools are designed to support structured chart reading. The goal is to convert market behavior into clean, rule-based context that helps traders think more clearly.
Candle Expansion Readiness follows that philosophy by turning a single expansion candle into a monitored planning state.
🔐 Non-Promise Statement
No script can provide certainty.
This tool organizes candle expansion context, but it does not guarantee continuation, reversal, profit, or any specific market outcome.
📉 Risk Disclosure
Trading involves risk.
Users are responsible for their own analysis, execution, position sizing, and risk management.
Nothing in this script or description is financial advice.
📚 Educational Note
Use the script to study how clean expansion candles behave across different symbols and timeframes. The value is in comparing candle quality, follow-through, and failure behavior over time.

Decision Point Planner [AGPro Series]Decision Point Planner
🧠 Core Idea
Is price sitting at a decision point that deserves review, patience, or rejection?
📌 Overview / What it does
Decision Point Planner is a chart-first risk planning tool built to evaluate whether the current price area is meaningful enough to deserve attention.
The script maps one active decision point from structure shelf, balance edge, or trend backbone context, then scores the area using location quality, reaction candle behavior, volume support, trend context, available room, and invalidation distance. The output is a 0-100 Decision Score, a clear next-action state, a decision zone, an invalidation shelf, a target-room corridor, compact labels, alerts, and a premium AGPro panel.
It does not predict price direction, automate execution, or print direct buy/sell signals.
🎯 Purpose & Design Philosophy
This script was built for traders who want to know whether the chart is actually at a meaningful decision area or simply moving through noise.
Many tools show levels, zones, or signals in isolation. Decision Point Planner focuses on a narrower planning question: if price is near a decision reference, is the reaction strong enough, is risk still balanced, and is there enough room before the next obstacle?
The design supports a patient planning mindset: identify the point, read the reaction, check room and invalidation, then decide what deserves attention.
⚡ Why This Script Is Different
Most tools focus on plotting many support/resistance levels or marking every reaction.
This script does NOT create a generic S/R map, order-block scanner, FVG map, or prediction engine.
Instead, it selects one active decision reference and turns it into a planning workflow: Decision Score, Zone Type, Reaction State, Room/Risk, and Next Action.
⚙️ Methodology
1. Context Detection
The script detects the active planning side automatically using trend context and range location, or the user can force Long Context or Short Context.
2. Reference Mapping
It compares three decision references: the latest structure shelf, the active balance edge, and the trend backbone. The closest relevant reference becomes the active decision point.
3. Reaction Evaluation
It evaluates whether price is touching or approaching the zone, whether the candle shows a valid reaction, whether volume supports the reaction, whether trend context agrees, and whether room and invalidation remain balanced.
4. Visual Output
It displays a decision zone, invalidation shelf, target-room corridor, compact chart labels, alerts, and a clean AGPro panel.
🗺️ How to Read the Chart
Decision Zone = the current area where price is being evaluated as a decision point.
Invalidation Shelf = the reference beyond the zone that marks rejection in this rule set.
Target-Room Corridor = the available forward room toward the nearest obstacle or a minimum room guide.
Labels = compact attention markers showing ACTION, WAIT, PATIENCE, REJECTED, ROOM, or D POINT context.
Colors = teal and pink show active directional context, amber shows caution, indigo shows wait/reaction context, and blue is reserved for the AGPro panel header.
Panel = summarizes Decision Score, Zone Type, Reaction State, Room Risk, and Action.
🚦 Signals & States
• ACTION REVIEW → the decision point has enough score, reaction, room, and risk quality to deserve closer review.
• WAIT REACTION → price is near the decision point, but the reaction is still incomplete.
• PATIENCE → the area is active but quality, room, or risk is not clean enough yet.
• REJECTED → price crossed the invalidation shelf for the active decision point.
• STAND BY → price is not close enough to the active decision reference.
🔔 Alerts Logic
• Decision Point Action Review → triggers when the state enters ACTION REVIEW.
• Decision Point Wait Reaction → triggers when price is near the point but reaction is incomplete.
• Decision Point Patience → triggers when the active point requires patience or broader confirmation.
• Decision Point Room Limited → triggers when the point is active but forward room is limited.
• Decision Point Rejected → triggers when price crosses the active invalidation shelf.
Alerts are attention markers. They are not trade instructions.
🧩 Confluence Logic
Decision quality improves when location, reaction candle behavior, volume support, trend context, target room, and invalidation distance align.
The strongest read appears when price is near the decision zone, the reaction candle is efficient, volume is supportive, trend context agrees, room is open, and risk distance is balanced.
📊 When to Use
• Around pullbacks where price is near a meaningful planning reference.
• During breakout or continuation preparation when the next reaction matters.
• Near range edges or balance transitions where patience is required.
• When comparing whether a setup deserves review or should remain on watch.
• On liquid markets where ATR, volume, and recent structure are meaningful.
⚠️ When NOT to Use
• Extremely low-liquidity markets with unreliable volume and candles.
• Highly noisy micro-timeframes where decision references change too frequently.
• News-driven volatility spikes where ATR and candle ranges expand abnormally.
• Charts where the user expects automatic buy/sell signals.
• As a standalone reason to enter or exit a trade.
🎛️ Key Inputs
• Planning Side → selects Auto, Long Context, or Short Context.
• Decision Range Lookback → defines the planning range and target-room obstacle.
• Structure Shelf Pivot Length → controls how strict the structure shelf reference is.
• Decision Reach ATR → controls how close price must be to the active point before review.
• Decision Zone Half-Width ATR → controls the vertical size of the decision zone.
• Target Room and Invalidation Inputs → define room quality and balanced risk distance.
• Visual Settings → control zones, shelves, corridor, labels, panel location, panel theme, and font sizes.
🖥️ Interface & Visual Design
The interface is intentionally chart-first.
The script uses one active decision zone, one invalidation shelf, and one target-room corridor instead of filling the chart with many competing zones. Labels are compact, offset away from candles, and controlled with cooldown and maximum-visible settings.
The panel follows the AGPro publication layout with a single merged blue title row, adjustable location, adjustable theme, and adjustable font size.
🧪 Practical Usage Workflow
1. Read the panel state and Decision Score.
2. Check the active decision zone and zone type.
3. Evaluate the reaction label and candle behavior.
4. Compare target-room corridor and invalidation shelf.
5. Treat alerts as review markers and confirm the broader market context.
🔍 Interpretation Guidelines
A higher Decision Score means the active decision point has stronger alignment inside the script's rule set. It does not mean price must move in the planned direction.
ACTION REVIEW means the area deserves attention, not automatic execution.
WAIT REACTION means the location may be important but the reaction is not complete.
REJECTED means the active invalidation shelf was crossed in this rule set.
🚫 What This Script Is NOT
• Not a prediction engine.
• Not financial advice.
• Not auto trading.
• Not guaranteed signals.
• Not a buy/sell signal service.
• Not a generic support/resistance zone map.
• Not an order-block or FVG scanner.
⚠️ Limitations & Transparency
Decision quality depends on the selected lookback, pivot length, ATR behavior, volume reliability, and timeframe.
Different markets can produce different reference behavior. High volatility can widen invalidation distance. Low volatility can compress target room. Small timeframes may produce more frequent state changes.
The script is rule-based and should be interpreted as an analytical planning layer inside broader market context.
🧠 Market Context Notes
A decision point is useful only when it connects location, reaction, risk, and room.
The same visual area can be weak if reaction is poor, volume is absent, target room is blocked, or invalidation is too tight or too wide.
This script organizes those checks into one readable decision layer.
🧾 Use Case Examples
When price pulls back toward the decision zone and the panel moves from WAIT REACTION to ACTION REVIEW, the area may deserve closer review.
When price touches the zone but the panel shows Room Limited, the user can recognize that the nearby path is obstructed.
When price crosses the invalidation shelf, the script marks the active decision point as rejected inside its rule set.
🧱 System Philosophy
Decision Point Planner follows the AGPro decision-engine approach:
Context first.
Risk before reaction.
Room before confidence.
Attention markers instead of promises.
🔐 Non-Promise Statement
No script can guarantee direction, continuation, reversal, or outcome.
This tool provides structured chart context only.
📉 Risk Disclosure
Trading involves risk.
Users are responsible for their own analysis, risk controls, position sizing, and trading decisions.
This script does not provide financial advice, investment advice, or guaranteed trading outcomes.
📚 Educational Note
Use the script to study how decision quality changes as price moves closer to or away from active planning references.
The most useful reading comes from comparing the panel state with visible price reaction, room, and invalidation context.
