Candle Body Size Alert

133
This indicator monitors the body size of each candle (close minus open, ignoring wicks) and compares it to a user-defined threshold measured in ticks. If the candle body exceeds the threshold, the indicator triggers an alert condition at the close of the candle.

Features:

1. Adjustable threshold in ticks (default: 4000)

2. Adjustable timeframe (or use chart timeframe)

3. Alerts only at candle close (no intrabar signals)

Use Case:
Designed for traders who want to be notified when unusually large candles form, helping to identify strong momentum moves or volatility spikes.
