Overview
Candles are painted green when closing above the moving average and red when closing below it. The script plots the SMA line on the price chart and places orange dots above bars where trading volume exceeds twice its 20-period average. It also provides alert triggers when price crosses the moving average. Moving average length is configurable.
- Dynamic candle coloring based on SMA relation
- Simple moving average line overlay
- Volume spike detection with visual markers
- Price crossover alert triggers
