Candle direction

Here we have a very simple indicator that shows the direction of the candles in the 1m/5m/15m/30m/1hr/4hr/1d/1w/1mt timeframes.

Important: the indicator only works on the smaller timeframe so if for example we use 30 minute candles then we must remove the lines of code for 1m/5m/15m
