Directional Candle Size Tracker
This indicator measures the strength of bullish and bearish momentum by tracking the average size of candles — but only when they’re moving in the intended direction.
🟢 Bullish Strength rises when green candles expand in size
🔴 Bearish Strength rises when red candles grow in size
When the market pauses or flips direction, the opposing line flatlines, preserving the last value
Unlike traditional moving averages that blend all candles together, this tracker isolates directional pressure, giving you a clearer read on which side is truly in control. It’s especially useful for spotting momentum decay, trap setups, and regime transitions.
Use it to:
Confirm breakout strength
Detect fading conviction
Compare bullish vs. bearish aggression in real time
