    Green above Red -> Up.

    Red above Green -> Down.

    Periods that seem useful are 4, 16, 128.

    Value is calculated as follows:

Up (Green) = ((High - Open) + (Close - Low))/2, averaged for the selected period;

Down (Red) = ((Open - Low) + (High - Close))/2, averaged for the selected period.

I like it. On EURUSD 1H, it's giving better exit signals than my current indicators.
