Overview
This is a scanner + visualizer. It does not place trades.
What the Indicator Detects
A signal is produced when a candle meets configurable rejection rules, including:
-
Dominant wick (upper or lower) as a percentage of the full candle range
-
Minimum candle range filter to avoid tiny/noisy candles
-
Minimum body size to avoid meaningless “needle” bars
-
Opposite wick cap to avoid “indecision” candles with large wicks on both sides
-
Optional ATR filter so signals occur only during sufficient volatility
-
Optional Trend Context score to penalize signals occurring in weak locations inside the recent range
The result is a set of rejection signals that is designed to be realistic, not overly sensitive.

Higher timeframe bias
-
Session timing / volatility conditions
