Hi
Great indicator. can we change the starting candle of each day? or which hour it starts to calculate?

Do you think can update the product to change the colour of the candle.

Currently red for down bar and green for up bar. If the colour can be change to user preference then it would be more versatile.

Thanks.

Could you send me a screenshot on mail: [belochjiri@hotmail.com], please? I am unable to replicate this behavior on my end.

Question about using the timeframe (Time UTC- 1Min chart)

Once the chosen timeframe is 4H and above,the candle doesn't begin at 00:00 anymore.

Why?
