Updated Thors Ghost Candles
Thors Ghost Candles (TGC)
A volume-based indicator that visualizes volume through dynamic candle transparency.
Candles fade or intensify based on relative volume strength, creating "ghost" effects for
low-volume periods and highlighting significant volume spikes.
Key Features:
- Candle opacity adjusts based on volume Z-score (standard deviations from mean)
- High volume candles appear solid, while low volume candles become transparent
- Includes volume moving average overlay
- Built-in alerts for extreme volume conditions
- Customizable colors and option to completely hide low-volume bars
Perfect for identifying genuine breakouts, spotting volume divergences, and filtering out
low-conviction price movements. The ghost effect helps traders focus on price action backed
by significant volume.
