Candle Range % vs 8-Candle AvgCandle % Indicator – Measure Candle Strength by Range % **Overview:** The *Candle % Indicator* helps traders visually and analytically gauge the strength or significance of a price candle relative to its recent historical context. This is particularly useful for detecting breakout moves, volatility shifts, or overextended candles that may signal exhaustion. **What It Does:** * Calculates the **percentage range** of the current candle compared to the **average range of the past N candles**. * Highlights candles that exceed a user-defined threshold (e.g., 150% of the average range). * Useful for **filtering out extreme candles** that might represent anomalies or unsustainable moves. * Can be combined with other strategies (like EMA crossovers, support/resistance breaks, etc.) to improve signal quality. **Use Case Examples:** ***Filter out fakeouts** in breakout strategies by ignoring candles that are overly large and may revert. ***Volatility control**: Avoid entries when market conditions are erratic. **Confluence**: Combine with EMA or RSI signals for refined entries. **How to Read:** * If a candle is larger than the average range by more than the set percentage (default 150%), it's flagged (e.g., no entry signal or optional visual marker). * Ideal for intraday, swing, or algorithmic trading setups. **Customizable Inputs:** **Lookback Period**: Number of previous candles to calculate the average range. **% Threshold**: Maximum percentage a candle can exceed the average before being filtered or marked.

Market Arterial PressureIndicator Description: Pulse-Market – Market Blood Pressure "I slept and had a dream." In that dream, I wore a white lab coat and shiny black pointed shoes. I felt like a doctor—not of traditional medicine, but of the financial market itself. My mission was clear: to measure the market's blood pressure and diagnose its health. With this vision, I decided to turn the dream into code. Thus, Pulse-Market was born: an indicator designed to listen to the heartbeat of the blockchain, capturing signs of vitality or collapse, and anticipating the pulse of the next trend. But the journey did not stop there. At the core of this creation, I incorporated a profound theory: the cycle of existence — Alpha, Beta, and Omega — concepts that resonate both in science and sacred scriptures. Alpha (α) represents the beginning: the primary impulse, the market's accelerated pulse. Beta (β) symbolizes the middle: the vital rhythm, the stabilizing cadence of prices. Omega (Ω) indicates the end: structural collapse, the exhaustion of a cycle. This logical and symbolic triad forms the foundation of Pulse-Market — the beginning, middle, and end of every market cycle. How to Use the Indicator Pulse-Market works as a dynamic oscillator composed of three main forces: Alpha Pulse (α) Measures recent price acceleration. The stronger the pulse, the more intense the market movement. Beta Rhythm (β) Controls the smoothing of the price rhythm and can be adjusted in four modes: Fast – quick reactions with more sensitivity Normal – standard smoothing (simple moving average) Slow – slow and consistent movements Accelerated – Hull method: reactive and smooth Omega Collapse (Ω) Combines entropy and reversals to detect structural collapses where the market may be losing strength. Visual Interpretation Green line above zero: healthy pulse, buying pressure in control. Red line below zero: strong selling pressure, possible exhaustion. Crossing the zero line: potential trend reversal. Settings and Customization In the indicator settings panel, you can calibrate the pressure reading sensitivity: Systolic Pressure (α): controls the reaction to rapid price impulses. Increase to highlight aggressive moves; decrease to smooth spikes. Diastolic Pressure (β): regulates the importance of the underlying rhythm. Increase for smooth trends; decrease for quicker responses. Pulse Pressure (Ω): sensitivity to structural collapses and volatility. Increase to detect reversals; decrease to ignore market noise. Practical Applications Confirm entry and exit signals based on the balance between Alpha and Omega. Adjust the indicator to your trading style: scalper, day trader, or swing trader. Use on any asset: cryptocurrencies, stocks, indices, forex. Integrated Philosophy We live limited by time and matter, but markets, like life, follow natural cycles: they are born, mature, collapse, and are reborn. Pulse-Market is not just a technical indicator — it is a spiritual and analytical stethoscope that listens to the heartbeat of volatility and tries to anticipate what the eyes cannot see, but time always reveals. Original Creator This indicator was created by Canhoto-Medium, the sole inventor and namer of this tool. As long as time goes on, no other indicator will exist with this essence or name.
