Large Candle Marker (Threshold in Cents)
This indicator, Large Candle Marker, identifies and marks candles that exceed a specified size threshold. The size can be based on either the candle's body (difference between open and close) or the total range (difference between high and low). The threshold is entered in cents for easy configuration, and the indicator highlights these significant candles directly on the chart with a orange flag. It's perfect for spotting momentum or volatility in price movements. I use it to not enter trades after a large candle.
// INSTRUCTIONS:
// 1. Input the desired candle size threshold in cents in the settings menu.

// - Select "False" to use the total range size (difference between high and low).
// 3. The script will mark candles exceeding the threshold with a red marker above the candle.
