Understanding the Plots
Candle Size Plot
The main plot shows the size of each candle (high minus low) in green by default.
This helps you visualize the volatility and identify significant price movements.
Moving Averages
If enabled, two moving averages are plotted on the candle size chart to help you understand the average candle size over different periods.
MA 1 (blue by default) and MA 2 (red by default) provide a smoothed view of the candle sizes.
Alert Thresholds
The upper and lower thresholds are plotted as dashed lines (orange by default).
The upper threshold indicates an unusually large candle size, while the lower threshold indicates an unusually small candle size.
Alerts and Background Colors
When the candle size exceeds the upper threshold, an alert is triggered, and the background color changes to a semi-transparent orange.
When the candle size falls below the lower threshold, an alert is triggered, and the background color changes to a semi-transparent orange.
These visual cues help you quickly identify significant candle sizes.
