Hello, I'm looking for a simple indicator that plots a number above/bellow the candles in the sequence order as it appears during the
day, just as a way to refer back to them. I looked everywhere with no success, anyone know if there is such indicator available?

Thanks in advance

Actually nothing, I just need a way to refer back to a specific candle in my trading log, I do it manually, inserting a number bellow every
candle after it prints, after 4 hours it gets really boring

This should do what you are after, I made it MTF so you can monitor a higher timeframe if required, if you change timeframes the number count will start from 1 again.
I have included a drag and drop arrow script so you can highlight any numbers if required, the arrow loads at the point you release the mouse button.
Both the indicator and script use a random colour sequence ( the candle Numbers indicator can also be set to 1 colour if required ) I thought it better than a single colour as it helps to differentiate between numbers that may be in close proximity to each other. I thought I better mention although it may appear obvious and that is it only starts to place numbers from the current candle on the chart when you first load the indicator and then puts a number below each new candle as they open.

I have updated the candle numbers indicator to allow the use of a single selected colour and removed an input I had inadvertently left in there which was used for testing which no longer had any function.

Won man, thanks a lot exactly what I need, but if its not asking much, could you please make single color and make me able to choose that color?
As I mentioned its just a way to refer back, and I found random colors rly distracting

Hey CJA,

Thank you for helping so many people in this forum.

I discovered this thread today (Candle Counter Indicator),
And I like it, but I need to make some changes.

CJA, I would really appreciate it, if you would do the
following for me with this indicator:

1. Let it start to count from 1, not 0.

2. Let it start at 0:00 broker time

3. Let it count from the first candle of the day to the last candle
of the day (cycle), and repeat for each day (cycle), and for each time frame
(may be an option to select time frames to run on)

4. Please, don't let it restart if I change the time frame. The candle should
remain permanently labeled with its number, until I delete the indicator.

4. Limit the look back to two cycles only per time frame
(candles between each day/period break is one cycle)

5. please give me the option to limit the number sequence,
eg. 1 to 3 only. after 3rd, it repeats 1 - 3, 1 - 3, etc, until the end of the day.

Note: - please keep the random color script.

- it should automatically identify all candles between the period separators (cycle),
and label them with a number. eg. the M15 chart - from the 1st candle of the day to last candle.

- it shouldn't just start at the candle on which the indicator has been attached.

CJA, much thanks in advance for your help.

Sincerely,

Piptron

Good idea however the indicator does what was originally requested and I do not have the time to look into updating the code in this indicator.

Could you please create an indicator to shows from 1 -> x. The current candle is 0, followed by 1,2,3..x. I tried your indicator and it showed 0 only.

Thank you!

hello everyone,

I'm looking for and indicator that counts the number of candle below or above a moving average,

It starts counting whenever price crossing above or below the moving average and stop counting wherever price return to the mean.

Thank you in advance for helping

In particular, i'd like having an indicator that gives a signal whenever "x" consecutive candle (upper or lower wick inclued) are above or below a moving average.

The purpose is screening the market in order to find overbought or oversold area.

It can work fine even on tf like 1 or 5 min.

Thanks a lot and greeting from Tuscany

Hi,

Is there any indicator that displays only the NAMES of the CURRENT TIMEFRAME (M1,M5,M15,M30,H1,H4,W1,MN) on the Current candle?? ONLY THE ABBREVIATIONS of the TIMEFRAMES!!
