Perfect Candles By Salamun

The "Perfect Candles By Salamun" indicator is a custom indicator for the TradingView trading platform that uses Pine Script v5. Let me explain its function and usage:
Main Function
1. Candlestick Display Modification
This indicator redraws candlesticks with special logic, especially to handle price gaps that occur when the market reopens after a close.
2. Eliminate Price Gaps
When the market opens after a break (for example after a weekend or holiday), there is usually a gap between the previous closing price and the new opening price.
This indicator "fixes" the gap by adjusting the open price of the new candle to be equal to the close price of the previous candle.
Input Parameters
"Valid only on open days" (default: false)
If enabled, modifications are only applied on market opening days.
If disabled, all candles will be modified
"Hourly threshold for detecting open days" (default: 6 hours)
Determine the time threshold for detecting gaps.
If the time interval between candles is > 6 hours, it is considered as the opening of a new day.
"Show Price" (default: true)
Displays a horizontal price line at the last price level
Ways of working
