Overview

Bar color is the bull input when close is above open and the bear input otherwise. A running count of consecutive volume rises or falls, clamped between one and the gradient-levels setting, sets column transparency so longer streaks appear more opaque. The main settings change the bull color, the bear color, and how many gradient steps the streak can use. It does not generate trade signals or exits.
