The Moonlit Grove

Lunar Falls Update: I've optimized the code, making this version much lighter.
I'll be posting updates for the others indicators in the next days (and new ones too )

Grove's Heartbeat Update: Now it uses the slope of two rolling vwaps as aditional filters together with the obv channel, and we have a new color for neutral candles (when any of the 3 filters disagree with each other, the candles colors will be neutral)
The obv channel is the fast heartbeat of the Grove and the dual rolling vwaps are it's breathing lungs

It's an indicator focused on volume analysis, it uses 3 filters for coloring the candles: one obv with a donchian channel on it (the breakouts and breakdowns of this channel are the signals), and it uses the slope of 2 anchored vwaps, the default settings for these vwaps are 1 hour and 4 hours, since these vwaps attach to new points every hour and every 4 hours, it can momentarily point towards against the trend on resets, the candles are only colored when the 3 filters agree with each other, otherwise the color will be dark gray, these dark gray areas are good places to put your stop loss, my main way to trade is to check trend direction in a higher time frame (lunar falls + grove's heartbeat), then trade in the smaller timeframe in the same direction, I wait for these dark grey areas, look for a divergence, and when the candles turns in the color of the main trend again I enter in the trade when the first trigger appears (from indicators that I will still post here), my stop loss is usually below or above the last gray zone and target is at least 2:1.

Thank you very much for such a detailed answer. I will look at experimenting.

Twin Moons Blade is one of the indicators that marks my entry triggers: it compares the current candle volume with the 3 previous candles volume, marking it if it's volume was the highest or lowest of them, it basically allow us to make a volume analysis candle by candle with a glance, with it you can spot pullbacks with low volume more easily, and moments when volume suddenly appears toward the trend direction.
Crimson Moon Marks and Silver Moon Marks represents high volume candles.
Golden Moon Marks and Mist Moon Marks represents low volume candles.

Unfortunaly I couldn't be trading early today, but I still got some profits.
I'm testing some changes with my astral flow indicator, I'll probably post it's update next week.

Soon...

Grove's Heartbeat update - now it uses market structure as one of it's filters:

BTC 1 Minute: BTC 30 Mins:
Astral Flow had lots of changes, it was firstly renamed to Moonlit Starflare, but then I united it with Moonlit Twin Blades, and now they are Moonlit Starforge, it does have the signals of Twin Blades (and they are much better) and the signals of Starflare.

BTC 1 Minute: I'll make more tests and clean the codes before posting it.

I left a trade running overnight, woke up now and saw this pleasant surprise

I forgot to mention, but the main reason I entered at that moment was because the bullish market structure was being invalidated and we had a crimson moon mark. Crimson moon marks appear when candles have a volume greater than the average of the last 20 candles, plus 10 times the volume of the previous candle (and the previous candle already had a bearish starflare mark, meaning that its volume was also above the average of the last 20 candles and that candle was breaking through an 8 period bollinger band)
