Candle type signal difference ?

[OntradingX]

Friends what is the difference between (once per bar) and (continuous) in this bull candlestick block?

@ontradingx Good question, I am slightly unsure but I believe continuous only makes a difference on candle 0.

@jstap
What I basically want but is hard to do is for my EA to identify:

3 candles in a row and these 3 candles must be of the same color.
Would this block the way it is solve it?

@ontradingxThat's how I would do it.

@ontradingx I remember the admin saying long ago this is an old relict of repvious versions of fxDreema. The 'once per bar' option there is not relevant now as there is a block doing exactly that, so you can use the 'continuous' option by default and then use the 'once per bar' block when necessary.
