2x Marubozu Signal (Wick ≤ 30%)
The 2x Marubozu Signal (Wick ≤ 30%) is a powerful, momentum-based price action indicator designed to catch strong bullish or bearish trends early. It scans for two consecutive Marubozu-style candles (where wicks are ≤ 30% of the total candle size) to identify moments of solid conviction from buyers or sellers.
This indicator detects:
Bullish Signal: Two green candles in a row, both with tiny wicks (≤ 30% of total candle size), indicating strong buying pressure and momentum.
Bearish Signal: Two red candles in a row, both with tiny wicks (≤ 30%), signaling dominant selling pressure.
The signal appears on the second candle — confirming the continuation move after initial momentum.
Key Features:
🔍 Wick Ratio Filter: Only triggers if both candles have upper and lower wicks less than or equal to 30% of the full candle range (High - Low).
📈 Visual Signal Arrows:
Green Up Arrow on bullish 2x Marubozu
Red Down Arrow on bearish 2x Marubozu
⚙️ Clean and Lightweight: No lag, perfect for intraday, swing, or trend-based strategies.
🎯 Use Case:
Trend Confirmation: Enter after the second strong Marubozu to ride breakout moves.
Momentum Filter: Combine with your existing strategy to filter only high-conviction price action setups.
Reversal Spotting: Catch reversals at key support/resistance when Marubozus form.
🧠 Pro Tips:
Works best on 15m–1D charts, especially after consolidation.
Combine with support/resistance, volume, or EMA/SMA zones for confirmation.
Avoid overtrading in choppy zones—this is a momentum-only tool.
