This Pine script indicator is designed to visually depict price inefficiencies, as identified by Flat Top/Bottom Candles (aka Devil's Mark). A Flat Top/Bottom Candle is a scenario where there is an absence of a wick at the top or the bottom of the candle. These represent zones of inefficiency and will frequently act as magnets for price that the market will strive to rebalance in accordance with ICT principles.
Relevance:
Flat Top/Bottom Candles are zones where price delivery didn't provide opportunity for manipulation representing an inefficiency that the market will seek to rebalance. Consequently, these zones can provide good targets for entries in the opposite direction or take profit targets for previous entries in the direction of the Flat Top/Bottom Candle.
How It Works:
The indicator keeps track of all Flat Top/Bottom Candles from the beginning of the available history. It automatically removes all mitigated Flat Top/Bottom Candles, which are situations where the price has gone past the candle without a wick.
Configurability:
You can configure the colors, style & width of the lines used to represent flat top/bottom candles.
What makes this indicator different:
Designed with high performance in mind, to reduce impact on chart render time.
Only keeping the currently valid flat top/bottoms on the chart.
