Full Candle Higher/Lower (No Repeats)

🔎 What the Script Does (Pine Script v6)
Keeps track of the last signal
Uses a persistent variable lastSignal (initialized once as "none").
Ensures that if a signal repeats consecutively, it won’t be triggered again.
Defines the conditions for a “Higher” or “Lower” candle sequence
Higher condition:
Current close > previous high, AND previous low ≤ the high of two bars ago.
→ This means the candle has fully broken higher.
Lower condition:
Current close < previous low, AND previous high ≥ the low of two bars ago.
→ This means the candle has fully broken lower.
Checks for new signals only
If a candle meets the condition and the last signal wasn’t the same, a new signal is triggered.
Updates lastSignal to prevent repeats.
Plots labels/arrows
A “Higher” signal shows a green label below the bar.
A “Lower” signal shows a red label above the bar.
Sets alerts
So you can be notified in TradingView whenever a “Higher” or “Lower” flag is detected.
📊 Trading Logic in Words
The indicator is looking for full candle breakouts.
If a candle closes above the previous high (with some confirmation from older bars), it flags it as a “Higher” signal.
If a candle closes below the previous low (with similar confirmation), it flags it as a “Lower” signal.
It avoids duplicate consecutive signals by remembering what the last one was.
✅ Why It’s Useful
Helps traders spot momentum continuation candles (strong push candles).
Reduces noise by not repeating the same signal multiple times in a row.
Works like a breakout detector that tells you when the market is making a new leg up or new leg down.
