Release Notes
changed script logic to only show "current strat type" for the most recently close candle and not the live developing candleRelease Notes
Changed how the numbers print on the chart for if anyone uses it on their chartRelease Notes
updated script logic to work for weekly and monthly. It does not display the currently forming bar. "current strat type" shows the last closed candle and "previous strat type" shows the candle immediately preceding that candle on ALL timeframes. Only displays regular trading hours (not extended) on Pine Screener.Release Notes
updated display pictureRelease Notes
reduced number sizeRelease Notes
fixed script logic to print correctly during market hours to show current strat type as yesterday's closed candle and previous strat type as the day before thatRelease Notes
updated logic to close out week at 4pm eastern on fridayRelease Notes
update to close logic, added holidays, add a 3 bar scanner called "prior strat type" for 3 bar sequencesRelease Notes
another attempt to make sure it doesnt use live unconfirmed candles as "current strat type"... it should always display daily read as "current strat type" = last trading day "previous strat type" = 2 trading days ago and "prior strat type" = 3 trading days agoOpen-source script
