# Indicator: cdl-rel: Relative Candles

This document describes the example CUS indicator at `misc/CUS_examples/cdl-rel`

The candle colour is relative to the previous bar. An empty box (traditionally white) candle body means that the close was higher than the open. A solid (traditionally black) candle body means that the close was lower than the open. Colour adds another dimension. Red is a lower close than the previous close. Green is a higher close. Blue indicates no change from the previous close.
