Heavy Candle

Heavy Candle compares current candle size to its previous, the one before that and different Average True Ranges. The point is to objectively highlight a sizeable candle to enter the market with. The direction is based on if the close is above VWAP or below it.

To plot a signal, the new candle has to:
►Oversize previous candle times multiplier 1 one OR the candle before that times multiplier 1.
►Be higher than at least two Average True Ranges.

There is no built-in algorithm to judge the character of where the signal appears and of what quality it is. It can be used as a non-subjective entry trigger but only in conjunction with other analysis.
