Candle Identifier indicator

Yes, leaving both default values of TRUE will turn the filters off, hence all IBs would be highlighted.

I think this is absolutely great!!
This indicator would really help an EA out!!!
Maybe you can help me with something... while watching this indicator work made me think... why couldn’t I use this in an EA to help predict reversals??? The question is this... how do I do an icustom call to this indicator for the different types of candles? The ones that I am most interested in are the Engulfing body, Hanging man, Railroad track, and Doji! Has someone already done this... if so... how?

As explained in post #1, the indicator is no longer available for public use. I apologize for any inconvenience. I have been compelled to withdraw it from the public domain for legal reasons.

I will no longer be posting in this thread, nor will I be replying to e-mails or messages requesting a private version.

Hi hanover,

I hope it is not much trouble for you to help me out with my request to write an indicator with sound alert when the candle reverse from up to down or down to up.

No need for sound alert when the new candle is same direction as previous.

I thank you in advance for you help.

Vincent

Hello Hanover,

I see that your candle identifier has been removed.....I'd like to contribute one that I use in my intraday trading....and perhaps you might correct the way I have modified the indicator.

The indicator that is MasterCandle_OB_PB is that one I have forced to work for me....but it's sloppy as I am no programmer.

In the pic below, the right side shows the master candle (a larger candle and a minimum of 5 inside bars) and inside bars. On the left, I have modified it to show just outside bars (my use is crude....I just want to see a candle where the high and low exceed that of the prior candle.....so it's not engulfing per se, just an outside bar.



I have two requests, if you see it worthy of your time.

1. Can you fix the original indicator so that it has both inside and outside bar options....outside bars in lime and inside bars with another color.

2. Can you change the way a pin bar is denoted.....it currently colors a background black like this....



What I'd like for a pinbar identification is a star or "*" placed at the top or bottom of the pinbar (with optional color selection).

The resulting indicator might be called MasterCandle_IB_OB_PB.mq4

I prefer to have the items denoted in background color for the respective candles or objects that are not intrusive. I prefer not to have arrows as they often suggest a direction....and often that is not how to interpret the inside or outside bar.

Thanks so much.

Cheers

@hanover i need the candleidentifier indicator. I downloaded the EA and loaded it on offline charts yielding nothing.

@FF moderators: please move this thread to the recycle bin. The indicator has not been available for almost 5 years now.

Many thanks,
David

hey whatsup can you repost this? thanks

Read post #63.

Sorry to drag up an old comment, but I've thought about this a lot and the problem is as humans we can decide which 2 candles to blend but if it was possible in the charting package, it might blend the candle before and the candle after if you get my drift - split them apart actually !

Anyway, I am looking for a KEY REVERSAL indicator, can't believe that I've never used one before

I need something that would point out the Daily Bar of AUDJPY on 03-31-2017

Thanks, all
