This script is designed to highlight areas on a chart where there are **three or more consecutive candles** of the same color (bullish or bearish). It provides a visual indication of extended bullish or bearish momentum by changing the background color and marking the starting point of these areas.
### **How it works:**
1. **Identifying Bullish and Bearish Candles:** - **Bullish candles** are defined as candles where the closing price is higher than the opening price (close > open). - **Bearish candles** are defined as candles where the closing price is lower than the opening price (close < open).
2. **Consecutive Candle Counters:** - A counter for **bullish candles** (`bullishCount`) and **bearish candles** (`bearishCount`) is maintained to track consecutive occurrences of bullish and bearish candles. - These counters are **incremented** when consecutive bullish or bearish candles occur. They are **reset** to zero whenever a trend reversal happens (e.g., from bullish to bearish or vice versa).
3. **Area Marking:** - If there are **three or more consecutive bullish candles**, the background is highlighted in **green** to indicate a bullish area. - If there are **three or more consecutive bearish candles**, the background is highlighted in **red** to indicate a bearish area. - A **green label** is plotted below the bars where the bullish area starts, and a **red label** is plotted above the bars where the bearish area starts.
### **Visual Indicators:** - **Background Color:** - **Green** for areas with 3 or more consecutive bullish candles. - **Red** for areas with 3 or more consecutive bearish candles.
- **Labels:** - A **green label** is plotted below the chart to mark the start of a bullish area. - A **red label** is plotted above the chart to mark the start of a bearish area.
### **Usage:** - This indicator can help traders identify strong trends, as consecutive bullish or bearish candles often indicate extended momentum in one direction. - By marking these areas, traders can potentially look for entry points or identify when trends may be losing strength or reversing.
