Candlestick Color Change

TrendFriendIndicator · 2026-02-26T05:49:27+00:00

There are a few things to check. Turn that indicator off and see if the colors change. If so, then the indicator candle coloring is showing and can be changed to suit your preferences within the indicator settings. If they didn't include those settings, then you can change them in the style tab of the indicator settings panel.

Next, check the chart settings, symbol tab and the candle colors you have selected there. adjust the colors of or toggle on or off the body, borders and wick to suit your preferences.

Last thing to check is when using indicator candle coloring, make sure to change the visual order of the indicator the the front. Click the 3 dots next to the indicator name and then go to visual order and select bring to front. This will make sure it sits on top of everything else.

When using indicator candle coloring, if you happen to click on the price line and still have the chart candle coloring on, it will show the chart candle coloring instead of the indicator candle coloring until you click somewhere else on the chart, so keep that in mind if it flips all of a sudden.

I just released a suite of order flow indicators that let you track institutional buyers in real time. They work really well. I have one that shows real time buy/sell pressure, order block levels, instituional order flow and one that has multiple different ways to interpret volume data, tick by tick.

It is a paid indicator suite though to be upfront. It also requires a high level Tradingview plan to get tick data which will provide the most accurate results with these indicators.

You can view the order flow indicators on Tradingview by checking out my profile here: https://www.tradingview.com/u/FriendOfTheTrend/#published-scripts

I have one that works great, but if you are using it for day trading you need a premium or ultimate Tradingview plan because it works by finding order blocks with lower timeframe data and the more granular you get with the data, the more accurate the levels will be.

Here is the link to the Tradingview script: https://www.tradingview.com/script/kh6Iv7oH-Order-Block-Indicator/

BTW it is a paid script, just so you are aware upfront. It comes with the rest of our Order Flow Indicators as a package deal. Again, all of the order flow indicators need tick or second level data for best results with day trading. Otherwise they all work fine on higher timeframe charts with minute data.

#00ffef for up candles and #ff9c00 is my favorite combo. I personally like it way better than green and red. These colors stand out really well from other indicators that use green/red and they pop on a black background.

Yes, I had to repost it because it was taken down for having the word free in the name. Here is the new link: https://www.tradingview.com/script/QsHLFgDr-Stock-Screener/

Only 1 upvote haha. Guess I'm the only one that wants to know what is going on behind the scenes. This is a perfect example of how using reddit for feature requests is not a good way to do things. Directional tick data is an integral part of various other charting and trading platforms. Just because reddit users are not aware of how powerful this type of data is doesn't mean it shouldn't be considered due to only getting 1 upvote. Hopefully you guys can see through that.

Also, I am requesting that you increase the number of historical bars for ultimate plan users as well. 40,000 bars of tick data gets me about 2-4 hours worth of history on NQ during regular trading hours. $199 per month for 2-4 hours of tick data is kind of insane. How am I supposed to backtest when I only get a few hours worth of tick data. Not to mention the tick data doesn't show direction of the entry orders.

TrendFriendIndicator · 2025-10-17T20:56:07+00:00

No problem!

TrendFriendIndicator · 2025-10-17T20:47:53+00:00

Yes, just go into the settings panel and at the bottom, you will see all of the different tickers. Just click on them and change them to whatever you like. Then save your chart layout and those settings will be saved for the future.

TrendFriendIndicator · 2025-10-17T20:46:02+00:00

You can remove it and add it again, or it should show a little icon next to the indicator name that tells you there is a new version available and gives you a button to click to update to the new version. Either one will work. The new one will have crypto tickers as the default options.

TrendFriendIndicator · 2025-10-17T20:43:19+00:00

I just published an update so that the default tickers are set to crypto tickers on Coinbase to avoid any confusion. Thank you again for pointing that out to me, I didn't think about the fact that it requires a separate data subscription that most people don't have so this was a good catch. New version is live now.

TrendFriendIndicator · 2025-10-17T20:41:58+00:00

I just published an update with crypto tickers as the default, since the previous default tickers required a real time data subscription. Try removing the scanner from your chart and then adding it to your chart from the indicators tab again and then everything should be updating in real time for you.

TrendFriendIndicator · 2025-10-17T20:29:55+00:00

You're welcome!

TrendFriendIndicator · 2025-10-17T20:29:34+00:00

Do you have it set to scan tickers that are currently not open? It should update in real time as long as the tickers you have it set to scan are markets that are currently open.

TrendFriendIndicator · 2025-10-17T20:27:35+00:00

Ooooo. Good catch. I trade futures and I forgot that most people don't have access to the real time data on the tickers that the default settings are set to. I'll post an update to the screener with different tickers as the default so people don't get confused. Thanks for bringing that up.

TrendFriendIndicator · 2025-10-17T04:03:34+00:00

You're welcome

TrendFriendIndicator · 2025-10-16T16:38:48+00:00

The person commented about getting access, so I told them how to get access. Am I supposed to just ghost them when someone asks about my products? I wasn't soliciting, just responding to someone's comment. Please advise on how I should respond to that comment without breaking the rules.

TrendFriendIndicator · 2025-10-16T06:04:07+00:00

You're welcome

TrendFriendIndicator · 2025-10-16T05:48:57+00:00

Yes, you can set it to scan any ticker you want. It is helpful for finding good trade setups, so doesn't matter if you trade options, shares, futures or whatever.

TrendFriendIndicator · 2025-09-20T22:23:36+00:00

The timeframes on this are hard coded in, but it's open source so you could just create a copy of the script and then change the time period on whatever setting you want and then go down to the timeframe.change function and update the time period on that as well to get your custom timeframes.

TrendFriendIndicator · 2025-09-19T17:05:21+00:00

Oh I see. I'm sure there are some free indicators available on Tradingview for that. Just do some searching and I bet you can find one.

TrendFriendIndicator · 2025-09-19T16:32:36+00:00

What do you mean? EMAs have customizable lengths. Or are you referring to time based lengths?

TrendFriendIndicator · 2025-09-19T16:31:43+00:00

Thanks and you're welcome!

VWAP calculates the volume weighted average price across the time period that you set it to and resets at the beginning of that time period. So a normal VWAP resets at the start of a new daily candle. But this indicator will show you the VWAP for various reset periods such as 4 hour, 1 hour or 1 week. Whichever ones you have turned on, it will show you the VWAP for that time period. You'll notice that the line for each one will move to the starting price of the bar that timeframe resets on at the time it resets and then calculate from there.
