Overview

GridWB3 Auto-Calculated Config scans closing prices from a chosen start date, takes the highest and lowest close as the top and bottom of the box, and uses an end date as the right edge. The box is split into one to seven side-by-side units with alternating colours and diagonal lines. A bar offset adjusts the right edge, and styling is adjustable. It is a drawing aid and gives no signals.

Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints.
