Candle Wick Retest

The Candle Wick Retest Indicator identifies untested wicks in real time that occur when there is an imbalance in the number of buyers and sellers at a price-level. This imbalance occurs when a market exchange receives too many of one kind of order, and not enough of its counterpoint.

Candle Wick Retest is a powerful trading indicator that will automatically identify and label strong ranges on traders’ charts that can be incorporated into a wide variety of different trading strategies.


USAGE

The script automatically identifies and measures real-time ranges of imbalance between buying and selling pressure in the market using real-time price-action information. These levels indicate potential Supply and Demand zones which serve to help the trader identify areas where price has changed direction in the past due to an imbalance of buyers and sellers.

The script also allows users to mirror higher time frame Candle Wick Retests onto lower time frame charts to gain a stronger understanding of key levels on another scale.
