Candle Color Day - Colored Candlestick Indicator by Day of the Week
What is it?
A simple visual tool that colors candlesticks on a chart depending on the day of the week. Monday is one color, Tuesday is another, and so on. Have you ever wondered how often prices behave a certain way on specific days of the week? This indicator helps you see such patterns.

Saturday and Sunday - Gray
Settings:
Everything can be configured in two clicks:
