The Period Candle Counter operates by allowing traders to set a specific time range for analysis on their trading chart. It systematically tracks each candle within this designated period, categorizing them as green (bullish) or red (bearish) and maintaining an accurate count of each type.
Once the analysis period is complete, the indicator calculates the total number of candles, computes the percentage of bullish and bearish candles, and determines the total time duration based on the current chart's timeframe. The results are then displayed in a user-friendly panel located in the top-right corner of the chart.
