This looks for 4 patterns,
. Nirvana - cyan , 3 bars, middle bar is smaller
. HolyGrail - magenta , 3 bars, middle bar is bigger
. Inside bar - yellow , 2 bars , right bar is smaller
. Outside bar - white , 2 bars , right bar is bigger

each pattern is drawn in a different color.
a colored label is shown for each pattern that is turned on.

the last bar in a pattern has a different color, i left it that way from the original.
the high and low of the last bar in a pattern, are the levels that are compared to price.
up arrow , when price is above a high.
down arrow , when price is below a low.

setting this to yes, will plot only the arrows that change direction. when an arrow is different that the last one.
input show_only_first_changed_arrows = yes;

the arrows for the 4 patterns are drawn at different distances from the candles, so if all 4 are drawn, they are visible and stacked, not covered up.
there are 3 variables that affect how the arrows are placed.
def arrow_size = 1;
def arrow_sp_fac = 0.1;
def sizex = 0.8;

can show horizontal lines from the high and low.
can turn any of the 4 patterns on or off.

all 4 signals - all arrows
each signal arrow has a different price factor, so they appear stacked, not on top of each other.

Is there anyway we could get an addition to this script that highlights both of the candles that make up the Holygrail and Nirvana pattern? As of right now I have all the lines and arrows turned so just the candle highlights are showing. With that, I would like for the new script to color BOTH candles that make up the "holygrail" and "nirvana" instead of just the one. Thanks in advance. Love this script. Been having fantastic results recently with the Nirvana and Holygrails!

each pattern is drawn in a different color.
a colored label is shown for each pattern that is turned on.

the last bar in a pattern has a different color, i left it that way from the original.
the high and low of the last bar in a pattern, are the levels that are compared to price.
up arrow , when price is above a high.
down arrow , when price is below a low.

setting this to yes, will plot only the arrows that change direction. when an arrow is different that the last one.
input show_only_first_changed_arrows = yes;

the arrows for the 4 patterns are drawn at different distances from the candles, so if all 4 are drawn, they are visible and stacked, not covered up.
there are 3 variables that affect how the arrows are placed.
def arrow_size = 1;
def arrow_sp_fac = 0.1;
def sizex = 0.8;

can show horizontal lines from the high and low.
can turn any of the 4 patterns on or off.

nirvana - zoomed in , first changed arrows

nirvana - zoom out, multiple triggers

all 4 signals - all arrows
each signal arrow has a different price factor, so they appear stacked, not on top of each other.

Thanks for this, its been really helpful. I've been trying to learn some coding by taking apart and scavenging bits of code. I like how you have the breakout lines but was wondering what part of the code determines how long they are? If I only wanted to extend the lines for say 6 candles would it be possible?
