Master Candle
Master Candle
Definition
A master candle can only exist when 4 consecutive candles after it consolidate within the candle’s range (high and low). Basically, a master candle should engulf the 4 following candles
Common Belief
Literature suggests it be used as a breakout strategy. When a master candle is formed, they assume the 5th,6th or 7th candle are the candidates for a potential breakout.
If the there is no breakout after the 7th candle, the master candle should be disregarded. There are many scenarios where it does work, but just as many when they don’t.
Interpretation
The idea of the master candle does hold some significance, but I see the break of the master candle as a sign of a potential continuation, retracement, or reversal.
The indicator
I have kept the original theory as default (minimum criteria which is MC=C1234+B123) but have allowed the option to edit the parameters.
Another option I’ve added is to allow wicks to breach the Master Candle as long as they open and close within its range. The only time the range is broken (5th candle onwards) is when a candle body closes above or below the master candle range.
Since I did not want to define the break as a breakout, I’ve named it a ‘Swish’. So, it’s either a Swish High or a Swish Low. Traders should make their own judgement on the intended direction based on their own analysis. A retracement entry into the intended direction is all I can advise.
