3D Candles (Zeiierman)

█ Overview

3D Candles (Zeiierman) is a unique 3D take on classic candlesticks, offering a fresh, high-clarity way to visualize price action directly on your chart. Visualizing price in alternative ways can help traders interpret the same data differently and potentially gain a new perspective.


█ How It Works

⚪ 3D Body Construction
For each bar, the script computes the candle body (open/close bounds), then projects a top face offset by a depth amount. The depth is proportional to that candle’s high–low range, so it looks consistent across symbols with different prices/precisions.

rng      = math.max(1e-10, high - low)   // candle range
depthMag = rng * depthPct * factorMag          // % of range, shaped by tilt amount
depth    = depthMag * factorSign                // direction from dev (up/down)

• depthPct → how “thick” the 3D effect is, as a % of each candle’s own range.
  
• factorMag → scales the effect based on your tilt input (dev), with a smooth curve so small tilts still show.
  
• factorSign → applies the direction of the tilt (up or down).
  

⚪ Tilt & Perspective
Tilt is controlled by dev and translated into a gentle perspective factor:

slope      = (4.0 * math.abs(dev)) / width
factorMag  = math.pow(math.min(1.0, slope), 0.5)  // sqrt softens response
factorSign = dev == 0 ? 0.0 : math.sign(dev)      // direction (up/down)

• Larger dev → stronger 3D presence (up to a cap).
  
• The square-root curve makes small dev values noticeable without overdoing it.
  

█ How to Use

Traders can use 3D Candles just like regular candlesticks. The difference is the 3D visualization, which can broaden your view and help you notice price behavior from a fresh perspective.

⚪ Quick setup (dual-view):

• Split your TradingView layout into two synchronized charts.
  
• Right pane: keep your standard candlestick or bar chart for live execution.
  
• Left pane: add 3D Candles (Zeiierman) to compare the same symbol/timeframe.
  

Observe differences: the 3D rendering can make expansion/contraction and body emphasis easier to spot at a glance.


█ Go Full 3D

Take the experience further by pairing 3D Candles (Zeiierman) with Volume Profile 3D (Zeiierman), a perfect complement that shows where activity is concentrated, while your 3D candles show how the price unfolded.


█ Settings

• Candles — How many 3D candles to draw. Higher values draw more shapes and may impact performance on slower machines.
  
• Block Width (bars) — Visual thickness of each 3D candle along the x-axis. Larger values look chunkier but can overlap more.
  
• Up/Down — Controls the tilt and strength of the 3D top face.
  
• 3D depth (% of range) — Thickness of the 3D effect as a percentage of each candle’s own high–low range. Larger values exaggerate the depth.
