CQ_Historical Candle Color Changer

🎯 Purpose
This indicator visually distinguishes candles based on how old they are—specifically within a user-defined range (e.g., 1 to 7 days old). It helps traders quickly isolate recent price action from older data, making it easier to interpret overlays like moving averages, volume profiles, or momentum indicators.
⚙️ Key Features
- User-Defined Age Range: Set minimum and maximum age in days (e.g., highlight candles that are 1–7 days old).
- Custom Colors: Choose highlight colors for candles within the range.
- Timeframe Awareness: Works across any chart timeframe (1m, 1h, 1D, etc.), calculating candle age based on actual time elapsed.
- Non-Intrusive Display: Candles outside the range retain their default appearance, preserving overall chart readability.
📐 How It Works
- The script calculates the age of each candle by comparing its timestamp to the current time.
- If the candle falls within the user-defined age range, it’s recolored using the selected style.
- Candles older or newer than the range are left untouched.
🧠 Use Cases
- Trend Isolation: Focus on recent price action without losing sight of broader context.
