Marubozu and Strong Candle Detector

This TradingView Pine Script indicator identifies powerful price action signals by detecting two key candle types that can signal strong market momentum:
What It Detects
1. Marubozu Candles: These are candles with little to no wicks, where the body makes up almost the entire candle. Marubozu means "bald head" or "shaved head" in Japanese, referring to the absence of shadows (wicks).
o Bullish Marubozu: A green/up candle with minimal wicks, showing buyers controlled the entire session
o Bearish Marubozu: A red/down candle with minimal wicks, showing sellers dominated the session
2. Strong Candles: These are candles that are significantly larger than the recent average, suggesting exceptional momentum.
o Strong Bullish: Large green/up candles showing powerful buying pressure
o Strong Bearish: Large red/down candles showing powerful selling pressure
