Overview
Candle Trap Zone identifies specific candles where a significant percentage of surrounding candles are trapped within that candle's high-low range -a sign that the market consolidated heavily at that level. The indicator analyzes a configurable detection range, counting trapped candles and boundary touches to find zones with the strongest containment. When the trapped ratio exceeds your strength threshold, a zone is drawn with cloud extensions projecting above and below, creating a wider influence area. Zones auto-extend when price re-enters, and smart proximity detection prevents overlapping zones or optionally merges nearby zones into one expanded area.
Key Features
Trapped Candle Analysis
Analyzes how many candles are trapped within a reference candle's range -zones form only when the trapped ratio exceeds your configurable strength threshold.
Cloud Extensions
Projects semi-transparent cloud areas above and below each zone, extending the zone's visual influence area for wider context.
Proximity & Auto-Adjust
Prevents overlapping zones when new ones form near existing zones, or optionally expands the existing zone to encompass both.
Touch Detection & Alerts
Detects price touching zone boundaries and extension lines with optional visual markers and multiple alert types.
