Overlay Daily Candle [odnac]

How it works

The script generates visual representations of daily candles by plotting colored boxes and wicks based on open, close, high, and low prices. Green boxes indicate bullish candles where the close price is higher than the open, while red boxes represent bearish candles where the close price is lower than the open.

Each candle is constructed with a body representing the price range between open and close, and wicks extending to show the high and low price points. When a new date is detected, the script automatically resets and begins drawing new candle representations, ensuring accurate and current visual tracking of price movements.

Why it may be useful

When to explore it
