Candle State (The Strat)

Crinklebine Updated   
This script identifies the 2 different Candle States for use in #TheStrat.

Candle Up - The close of the current candle is greater than the close of the previous candle.
Candle Down - The close of the current candle is less than the close of the previous candle.

Though this script is extremely simple it is a teaching aid for #TheStrat.
The script also assists in the identification of up and down candles with gaps where the color of candle will not always match the Candle State.

Analysis of the candle types can help you define actionable signals and draw broadening formations.
