Next Candle Check
Check whether the candle after a signal closes bullish or bearish.
The Next Candle Check block pauses after receiving a signal and waits for the next candle to close. It then routes the flow based on whether that candle closed bullish (close > open) or bearish (close < open). This adds a simple but powerful confirmation layer to your strategy.
Why It Matters
Many signals look promising in the moment but fail immediately. By waiting for the next candle's close, you get confirmation that the market is actually moving in the expected direction before committing to a trade. This reduces false signals significantly.
Settings Explained
Check Timeframe — Which timeframe to use for the candle check. This can match your strategy's main timeframe or be different. For example, you might detect a signal on H1 but confirm with the next H4 candle for a higher-timeframe validation.
The block always produces two output routes: one for bullish closes and one for bearish closes. Your strategy can handle each case differently.
Example Use Case
Your strategy detects a bullish Order Block. Before entering, you add a Next Candle Check. If the next candle closes bullish (confirming buyer strength at the zone), the strategy enters long. If it closes bearish, the setup is abandoned.
Next Candle Check is one of the simplest ways to improve any strategy. It costs you one candle of delayed entry but can dramatically reduce the number of false signals.
