Overview

Smoothed candles applies a simple moving average of a user-set length, defaulting to nine, separately to open, high, low, and close, then plots those four values with plotcandle. Wick color is green when the raw close is above the smoothed close and red otherwise. The length input changes how strongly the candle body and wicks are averaged. It has no alerts, entries, or exit rules.
