DrawPriceMove V4

Description

 

V4 is in blue - same as V3 (green) but:

Flips trend direction if the bar is either an inner or outer bar to previous.
Then checks the trend direction using the relationship of the current and previous high prices.

Once again, let us know if there are any bugs.

Hi, could u add amount tick delta per swing (uptick-downtick), pips per swing, cumulative tick delta into it?
Highlight current swing up, when previous swing up has more pips, less delta per swing than current swing up, vice versa for down swing.
