What is beluga_tt_boxes?
beluga_tt_boxes draws colored boxes based on its configured trend calculation. The Inputs dialog separates trend length, target display, retained-box count, active-box visibility, and the number of bars processed.
Boxes mark the indicator’s current and historical output. Their boundaries are chart context.
How to use beluga_tt_boxes
Review a box together with the candles that created it and the boxes left over from earlier calculations. Keep the active box distinct from historical boxes when comparing price behavior.
Trend Length adjusts the calculation window. Max boxes to keep and Bars to process control history, while Show active box and Set Targets control visible elements.
Where it helps
The maximum-box setting limits the archived display.
Bars to process can use all available bars or a fixed count.
The current box can be shown or hidden independently.
