What is up y'all ? (french trying to sound American)
I found that in my script archives, way back in an old cave. I think this might be useful as a few really asked me how to define a green/red candle, how to capture the wick value, the body, etc..
This is not a fancy script as usual and I'm sure they're plenty of candles pattern scripts out there but I saw no one sharing a simple candle cheat sheet for pinescript coding
Being able to define candles using codes is an essential skill to have for any Pinescripter
Still on the train so won't write a roman as usual... Kidding... I actually did it here It won't bring me as many likes as any magic p**p cannon accounts promising the moon at each trade but if I can help at least 1 trader a day not losing his/her money, I'll be happy and my daily goal will be fulfilled

Dave, why do I only have green candles? No red candles. And can this script be used as a signal? If the green candle, then this is a buy signal?

@AlexKeys, because I only plotted one of the pattern. I did the script when I was travelling so I was a bit lazy to do more
You'll need to copy the script and update the alerts yourself on that one. Should be easy enough... Let me know
2/ this script must not be used as signals in its current state. I made it for educational purpose first and foremost. The candles patterns at the very bottom of the scripts aren't real patterns, I invented them to show that you can capture any sequence of candles and use that a signal for your own indicator/strategy

@Daveatt, Added 2 lines ***. It is right? I got red candles :)
ThreeGreenCandles = GreenCandle[0] and GreenCandle[1] and GreenCandle[2]
***ThreeRedCandles = RedCandle[0] and RedCandle[1] and RedCandle[2]
@AlexKeys, not totally but that's a good start
ThreeRedCandles = RedCandle[2] and RedCandle[1] and RedCandle[0]
Calling "RedCandle" without the bracket will only refer to the last candle of the sequence. FYI RedCandle is the same as RedCandle[0]. To access the previous RedCandle before RedCandle[0], we use RedCandle[1], and so on and so forth

@Daveatt,
Sorry. I do not understand what needs to be changed?

@AlexKeys, tradingview removed the brackets from my comment lol....
***ThreeRedCandles = RedCandle[ 2 ] and RedCandle [1 ] and RedCandle [0]
I added a screen plot to this great script and also this alert
// plot text WS on the screen
plotchar(ThreeGreenCandles, char='WS')
// alertcondition
alertcondition(ThreeGreenCandles, title='GC', message='GC')
