Tweezer PatternsTweezer top and bottom, also known as tweezers, are reversal candlestick patterns
that signal a potential change in the price direction. Both formations consist of
two candles that occur at the end of a trend, which is in its dying stages.
The tweezer bottom candlestick pattern is a bullish reversal pattern that can be
spotted at the bottom of a downtrend. It consists of two candles, where the first
candle is in line with the bearish trend, while the second candle reflects more
bullish market sentiment as the price bursts higher, in the opposite trend.
The tweezer top candlestick pattern is of the same structure as the tweezer bottom,
except for the fact that it happens at the end of an uptrend, and therefore, it is a
bearish reversal pattern. The first candle is bullish, and it continues in the same
direction, while the second bearish candle indicates that the trend may be changing soon.
Both the bottom and top tweezers are only valid when they occur during uptrends and downtrends.
Their appearance during choppy trading conditions is practically meaningless, and it signals
the market indecision to move in either direction.

Tweezers and Kangaroo TailHello Traders,
Here Tweezers and Kangaroo Tail script is in your service. The script searches for Tweezer / Kangaroo Tail candlestick patterns and shows them as T (Tweezer) and K (Kangaroo Tail). Thanks to RorschachT who game me the idea and some details while working on this script.
What are these candlestick patterns?
Tweezers :
- A tweezers pattern occurs when the highs/Lows of two candlesticks occur at almost exactly the same level
- Both candles must have wicks
- Bigger Wick / Smaller Wick rate should not be greater than 150% ( 150% by default and you have option to change it)
- First Candle must be highest/lowest for last 5 candles (5 by default and you have option to change it)
- The level of High for Top, Low for Bottom must be almost lower than 20% of the bigger wick of tweezer candles (20% by default and you have option to change it)
- The Candles can be right next to each other or apart but not more than 12 candles apart (12 by default and you have option to change it)
- You will see that Tweezers pattern occurs frequently
Kangaroo Tail:
- Looks almost like a Hammer or Inverted Hammer candle
- They have both its open and close in the top or bottom third of the candle
- There must be some space/room on the left of the kangaroo tail
- The open and close of the Kangaroo Tail candle must be inside the range of the previous candlestick
- The next candle should create a new high or new low
- You have several options to set details about the "Room" that should be on the left and also options for Wick/Body rates
- You can see example below
You have option to enable/disable any of these patterns.
as far as I have tested they are strong reversal patterns but none of the indicators or patterns may not be enough alone. so you should confirm the signals using other indicators or tools
If you need more information you can find a lot of info on the net ;)
Example: Tweezers - Aparted
Example: Kangaroo Tail - Bullish
Enjoy!
[TS] S/R TweezersThe Tweezers pattern is a minor trend reversal pattern that consists of two candlesticks with more or less the same high or the same low or some variation thereof. The user can adjust this variation by changing the 'Tweezer Wick Percentage' input.
The Tweezers Bottom pattern generally appears in a downtrend with the first candlestick being a bearish candlestick, followed by a bullish candlestick.
The Tweezers Top pattern generally appears in an uptrend. The first candlestick in this pattern is a bullish candlestick followed by a bearish candlestick.
To further confirm the trend reversal, we've added an Engulfing filter. If this option is enabled, the indicator will only show Tweezer signals that also engulf the previous 1 or 2 candles.
We've also included a S/R Lookback Filter that will search for previous Support/Resistance Zones and only display those Tweezers that are within those zones. The candle lookback period is fully adjustable.
The Support/Resistance zones are based on Swing Points, which length can be adjusted by the user.
The user can also change the width of the S/R zones, by adjusting the input 'S/R Zone ATR Multiplier'
Tweezer Pro IndicatorTweezer Pro Indicator is a pattern recognition indicator for Forex, Stocks, Indices, Futures, Commodities and Cryptos.
The standard Tweezer is a two bar pattern. Our enhanced version is a multi-bar pattern. We filter the patterns for you so that you only get the best and most effective patterns and ignore the noise.
The Tweezer pattern is a simple and effective pattern to trade.
The strategy that comes with the Tweezer is based on price action.
The indicator was developed with the expertise of Justin Mueller. The indicator uses same rules as Justin who is an expert trader using the Tweezer pattern for a while now. You can visit Justin Youtube channel, like and subscribe.
The indicator does what he was designed for: displaying Tweezer patterns. Don't expect to follow the up and down arrows and make money. Trading is not that simple. The Tweezer pattern is a starting point. The arrow is not a confirmed BUY and SELL signal in itself. The Tweezer indicator alerts you that the market might be at a turning point now. Then you must use other elements of your strategy (trend, momentum, support/resistance, volatility, daily bias, and other indicators) to confirm the signal and place a trade.
The Tweezer Pro version let users define their own pattern definition. This version is meant for expert traders who want to use their own optimized settings.
Inputs of the indicator are:
MaxBars: maximum number of bars back to calculate searching for signals
Settings (automatic/manual): you can either use the defaults settings optimized by Justin Mueller (automatic) or use your own settings (manual).
TrendPeriod (20 as default): number of candles the indicator should look back to determine current trend direction.
CandleSize (0.5 as default): minimum size for candles to consider pattern as valid (0.0:no filter, 0.5:middle size candle, 1.0:big candle only).
SameTailsSize (0.9 as default): check accuracy of same candle wicks size to validate pattern (0.0:ignore wick size criterion, 0.8:strict same size, 0.9:very strict same size).
SameOpenClose (0.9 as default): check accuracy of same open and close for the candles (0.0:ignore criterion, 0.8:strict same open/close, 0.9:very strict same open/close).
UseEngulfingFilter (true/false): if set to true then ignore patterns that do not include engulfing pattern.
UseEngulfingEvenAfter (true/false): if set to true then will also consider engulfing pattern with the next candle after the Tweezer formation.
Trading rules:
For BUY: wait for a bullish Tweezer (Tweezer bottom) to print on a support zone after a down trend. Wait for price to break high of the Tweezer pattern (5 pips above the high for H1 and higher time frames). Immediately enter in the trade once high is broken. You also can use a BUY STOP order placed 5 pips above the high of the candle (plus spread). Stop Loss should be placed below the low of the Tweezer pattern. If order is not triggered in the next candle then trade is invalidated and should be canceled.
For SELL: wait for a bearish Tweezer (Tweezer top) to print on resistance zone after an up trend. Wait for price to break the low of the Tweezer pattern (5 pips below the low for H1 and higher time frames). Immediately enter in the trade once low is broken. You also can use a SELL STOP order place 5 pips below the low of the candle. Stop Loss should be placed above the high of the Tweezer pattern. If order is not triggered in the next candle then trade is invalidated and should be canceled.
The Tweezer indicator can be used with any time frame.
The Tweezer indicator can be used with any class of asset: Forex, Stocks, Indices, Futures, Commodities and Cryptos.
Tweezer Top & Tweezer Bottom Pattern (Expo)Tweezer Top/Bottom Pattern (Expo) indicator identifies real-time Tweezer Top and Tweezer Bottom in any market and in any timeframe. This is an enhanced version of the pattern which enables higher accuracy, and noise filtering. In addition to that, Tweezer Levels can be displayed which can be used in many different ways, for instance, as a stop loss level, or to confirm the signal.
The ideal Tweezer pattern includes that the wicks should be 100% the same length. However, that rarely happens. So in this enhanced version, the user can set the maximum change that is allowed between the wicks.
To enhance the signal accuracy a Bullish engulfing and Bearish engulfing filter can be toggled on. So a signal will only be displayed if an engulfing candle is in play.
HOW TO USE
Tweezer Top/Bottom should be used together with KEY market levels or with KEY supply/demand zones.
Enter Long: if a Tweezer Bottom signal occurs at a KEY Level or on a KEY supply/demand zone.
Target: The first target should be the nearest resistance level or supply zone. The second target should be the next resistance level or supply zone, and so on.
Enter Short: if a Tweezer Top signal occurs at a KEY Level or on a KEY supply/demand zone.
Target: The first target should be the nearest support level or demand zone. The second target should be the next support level or demand zone, and so on.
Stop Loss: The Tweezer levels can be used as a stop loss.
Remember: Use the indicator together with KEY levels or KEY Supply/Demand Zones.

Tweezer Scanner v1Some code for detecting tweezer candles, which are reversal patterns. You'll need to tweak the settings to be either less strict (more detections) or more strict (less detections). I found that if you follow the documentation for tweezers exactly, you will get very few detections. It is possible that this candlestick has become overused, so the original pattern itself has been lost to the noise of the market.
Settings:
1. Tweezer Max Body Height (Pips) - How tall can the body of the tweezer be, in pips (increase this pips to increase detections)
2. Tweezer Body Similarity (>%) - How similar should the body heights be, higher percentage is more similar (reduce this % to increase detections)
3. Tweezer Tail Similarity (>%) - How similar should the tail heights be, higher percentage is more similar (reduce this % to increase detections)
4. Tweezer Tail Proportion (<%) - How short should the opposite tail heights be, lower percentage is shorter and more similar to the documentation (increase this % to increase detections)
Basic candle patternsBasic candle patterns marker marks:
- Doji stars
- Doji graves
- Doji dragonflies
- Hammers
- Reversed hammers
- Hanging mans
- Falling stars
- Absorption up/down
- Tweezers up/down
- Three inside ups/downs
Tweezer Top/Bottom FinderFinds tweezer tops and bottoms which are often great reversal points. Signals are shown as TT & TB on charts. I've use strict rules here, so if you feel it's missing solid signals PM me with the details and I'll look into expanding the rules a bit. This also has an RSI filter to reduce false signals.
If you like this you'll probably also like my Pin Bar Finder indicator.
Tweezer ScannerThis indicator highlights the tweezer tops and tweezer bottoms on the chart it is applied on.
Per the definition, a tweezer top is a candlestick pattern in which the first candle is bullish, the second one is bearish and they have the same high. Other traders define a tweezer top using the close of the first candle and the open of the second one, but the indicator currently supports only comparison based on the high of these candles. Future updates might contain support for the alternative definition of a tweezer top, if requested.
Per the definition, a tweezer bottom is a candlestick pattern in which the first candle is bearish, the second one is bullish and they have the same low. Other traders define a tweezer bottom using the close of the first candle and the open of the second one, but the indicator currently supports only comparison based on the low of these candles. Future updates might contain support for the alternative definition of a tweezer bottom, if requested.
By default, the indicator requires that the tweezer top is also a pivot high, and the tweezer bottom is also a pivot low. These options can be disabled in the Settings panel of the indicator. The indicator scans for a customizable number of candles to the left and to the right of the potential pivot.
The plot line contains both upward and downward spikes, depending on the type of tweezers the indicator finds. It is useful when the chart is zoomed out and the colored candles cannot be easily seen.
