Overview
Barcolor Example draws directly on the price chart by altering the color of qualified bars. Inside bars are colored yellow, bullish outside bars are highlighted in aqua, and bearish outside bars are marked in purple. All other bars retain their default chart color. The script contains no user-adjustable settings, alert conditions, or automated trade signals, functioning primarily as a visual pattern demonstration.
