Candle Type w/only 3-1

This script is a "fork" of Crinklebine's excellent "Candle Type" script for Rob Smith's ( aka RobInTheBlack) #thestrat methodology. 1 strategy that's becoming increasingly popular is looking for 3-1 (outside-inside) set-ups per #thestrat. The idea is that as the inside candle breaks, the target to take profits is given by the high/low of the previous outside range. This script is for traders who only want to look for this specific candle combo (3-1) and highlights up/dn breaks of the inside candle. It's designed to work with or without "Candle Type" (so traders who want all bars labelled can also select Crinklebine's Candle Type script to run concurrently). I've had traders specifically request this script from me, so I thought others may be interested as well and I'm sharing it here.
