CandlesGroup_Types

13 يوليو 2023

Library "CandlesGroup_Types"
CandlesGroup Type allows you to efficiently store and access properties of all the candles in your chart.

You can easily manipulate large datasets, work with multiple timeframes, or analyze multiple symbols simultaneously. By encapsulating the properties of each candle within a CandlesGroup object, you gain a convenient and organized way to handle complex candlestick patterns and data.

For usage instructions and detailed examples, please refer to the comments and examples provided in the source code.

v11

1. A new field `detail` is added to CandlesGroup Type. Possible values: "full", "normal", "lite", "custom".
2. populate() function is based on the new `detail` field to populate the number of properties.
3. time2bar() function is updated. Now it will return future bar_index based on bar duration of chart timeframe. Or return NaN if it is earlier than the 1st bar of the chart.
4. A new debug table is added to the comment section as an example.

Updated:
CandlesGroup
  Candles Group object which contains properties of all candles
  Fields:
    tf (series string): : timeframe
    detail (series string): : variety of candle properties. Possible value: "full", "normal", "lite", "custom"
    is_size_increased (series bool): : if true, size of value array increased at that candle. Default is false
    propertyNames (string[]): : an array stores property names. Use as keys to get values
