Better bars
New member Richard kicked off this release cycle off with a request to improve bar painting, and we agreed it’s a great idea. Most indicators now feature improved paint bar coloring, including a faded color effect when a bar moves against the prevailing trend (e.g., faded for down bars in a bullish trend).
This visual enhancement makes trend reversals and momentum shifts easier to spot at a glance. Thanks Richard! Your suggestion improves Tikitrade for everyone, mucho mahalos.
Lovely labels
Next we had a request from Igor, another new member who echoed something we have been wanting to do—label options! The OHLC Session and MTF indicators received updates to their label drawing logic, including support for custom offsets and plot extensions.
These improvements lay the groundwork for more flexible and visually consistent label placement across all indicators, but we need your feedback. Please let us know your thoughts and we’ll work to add enhanced labels to all our other indicators for our next release.
Custom colors
While Tikitrade’s tropical teal and magenta colors set an island 🏝️ vibe, at Tikitrade you’re steering the ship. We invite you to decorate your Tikitrade experience with our new color customization feature!

Wick Test indicator
Finally, we made an indicator based on a setup we learned about from futures Youtube streamer Matt called the Wick Test. Instantly spot this setup using a combo of wick and engulfing logic, and capitalize on rapid reversals and retests for scalp trades with clear, tight stops.
👉 This is our first “setup” based indicator—a signal with a clear entry, stop and target. If you have more setup ideas, let us know, it could be a unique and exciting direction to take our library.
