Candles by Day of Week
Candles by Day of Week (INLINE) is a lightweight visual indicator that colors price candles based on the day of the week.
It helps traders quickly recognize weekly patterns, market behavior differences, and day-specific tendencies directly on the chart.
🔹 Key Features
Candle coloring for Monday through Sunday
Enable or disable each weekday individually
Custom color selection for every day
Day enable toggle and color input are combined in one line for cleaner settings
Uses barcolor() — no candle shifting or overlay issues
Compatible with all markets: Forex, Crypto, Stocks, Indices
Works on all timeframes
🔹 How It Works
The indicator detects the day of the week for each candle and applies the selected color if that day is enabled.

No interference with price data
No displacement from the main chart
Full compatibility with other indicators
🔹 Practical Use
Analyze weekday-based market behavior
Spot recurring patterns or volatility by day
Improve discretionary and session-based strategies
Enhance chart readability and visual clarity

Toggle individual days on or off
Select custom candle colors per day
