█ How to use
The indicator enhances traders' understanding of the consecutive candle patterns, helping them to uncover trends and momentum. Consecutive candles in the same direction may indicate a strong trend. The Candles In Row indicator can be an essential tool for traders employing a multiple timeframes strategy.

Analyzing a Higher Timeframe:

• Understanding Momentum: By analyzing consecutive green or red candles in a higher timeframe, traders can identify the prevailing momentum in the market. A series of green candles would suggest an upward trend, while a series of red candles would indicate a downward trend.
  
  
• Predicting Next Candle: The indicator's predictive feature calculates the likelihood of the next candle being green or red based on historical patterns. This probability helps traders gauge the potential continuation of the trend.
  
  
• Setting the Trading Bias: If the likelihood of the next candle being green is high, the trader may decide to focus on long (buy) opportunities. Conversely, if the likelihood of the next candle being red is high, the trader may look for short (sell) opportunities.
  

• In this example, we are using the Heikin Ashi candles.
  

Moving to a Lower Timeframe:

• Finding Entry Points: Once the trading bias is set based on the higher timeframe analysis, traders can switch to a lower timeframe to look for entry points in the direction of the bias. For example, if the higher timeframe suggests a high likelihood of a green candle, traders may look for buy opportunities in the lower timeframe.
  

Combining Timeframes for a Comprehensive Strategy:

• Confirmation and Alignment: By analyzing the higher timeframe and confirming the direction in the lower timeframe, traders can ensure that they are trading in alignment with the broader trend.
  
  
• Avoiding False Signals: By using a higher timeframe to set the trading bias and a lower timeframe to find entries, traders can avoid false signals and whipsaws that might be present in a single timeframe analysis.
  

█ Settings

• Price Input Selection: Choose between regular open and close prices or Heikin Ashi candles as the basis for calculation.
  
• Data Window Control: Decide between displaying the full data window or only the active data. You can also enable a counter that keeps track of the number of candles.
  
• Alert Configuration: Set the desired number and color of consecutive candles that must occur in a row to trigger an alert.
  
• Table Display Customization: Customize the location and size of the display table according to your preferences.
