Raghee's Wave Candles

Description

Similar to MAcc (moving average color candles) these candles have 2 shades of green, blue and red each.  They are Raghee Horner's Wave candles. Also known as her Green Red and Blue (GRaB) candles.   

The idea is that there is a 34EMA on the High, Low and Close.  Candles above the high are light and dark green.  Candles below the low are light and dark red.  And candles that close between those two are blue.

The candles are posted elsewhere on this site as three separate indicators converted direct from the MT4.  But here there is only one indicator, and the EMA period and type is easily adjusted.

You will want to adjust your chart colors so that bull and bear outlines are the same color as your background.  That way you won't see any vestiges of the original candle underneath.
