3 non-overlapping candles?

[OptionsTrader]

I just want something that will paint over the non-overlapped area of the 3 candles.

for example, these 2 shaded regions or it could also just be 3 bullish/bearish candles that don't overlap.

Thanks

Well, this kinda works. The plots start AFTER the bars have closed (so in the next bar, after the condition is met rather than with the first bar as in your example. perhaps someone else here can get it closer.

declare upper;

def skip_up = if high[2] < low[0] then 1 else 0;
def skip_dn = if low[2] < high[0] then 1 else 0;

def upper_bound = if skip_up == 1 then high[2] else upper_bound[1];
def lower_bound = if skip_up == 1 then low else lower_bound[1];

def upper_bound2 = if skip_dn == 1 then high else upper_bound2[1];
def lower_bound2 = if skip_dn == 1 then low[2] else lower_bound2[1];

plot a = if upper_bound[-1] == upper_bound then upper_bound else Double.NaN;
plot b = if lower_bound[-1] == lower_bound then lower_bound else Double.NaN;

AddCloud(a, b, Color.BLUE, Color.BLUE);

plot c = if upper_bound2[1] == upper_bound2 then upper_bound2 else Double.NaN;
plot d = if lower_bound2[1] == lower_bound2 then lower_bound2 else Double.NaN;

AddCloud(c,  d,  Color.PLUM,  Color.PLUM);

Hey sorry I am just seeing this! its almost perfect. If it could have different timeframe (and specify the time for each either with color on the axis) and also to stay until a candle closes through it in the opposite direction. So if it was formed from a bullish candle then a bearish candle would have to close through it

search for gap clouds,
there are several
https://usethinkscript.com/search/1602966/?q=gap+clouds&o=date

not sure there is one with different time period.

cloud stopping condition is too vague.
crossing back over the cloud should be enough. but if you want to wait for a down candle to cross down and over cloud, the cloud could go on forever.
