Candle Body Strength Counter

This indicator measures the total bullish and bearish candle body strength over a user-defined lookback period. For each bar, it sums the absolute body sizes of bullish candles (where close > open) and bearish candles (where close < open) within the lookback window. The result is two lines: one for bullish body strength and one for bearish body strength, making it easy to spot shifts in market momentum and bias.
Adjustable lookback period (default: 20 bars)
Green line: cumulative bullish body strength
Red line: cumulative bearish body strength
Use this tool to quickly assess which side (bulls or bears) has been stronger over your chosen timeframe.
