Overview

Price Action Candles plots the closing price line in a separate pane below the chart. The script does not contain any trading signals, order placement logic, exit rules, or user-configurable input parameters. Upon execution on any bar, it intentionally halts execution by triggering a runtime error. Consequently, the script serves strictly as a non-functional stub or development placeholder rather than an operable trading system.

Risk Notes

No repainting, lookahead or stacked entries were found in its code or README. That says nothing about how well it works: test it first.

Third-party code. ForexR did not write, test or endorse this script, and the summary above was generated automatically from its code and README. Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints. Check it in the Strategy Tester and on a demo account before you rely on it.
