# Candlestick Colors

In the trading world, red usually means a bearish candle, and green indicates a bullish one. However, we offer you three unique options to make your candlesticks even more useful:

**Customize Your Candlesticks with 3 Modes:**

**CleanScalper Mode**

Mirrors the candle colors of our "CleanScalper" indicator with the settings 8/20/60. During trends, candles turn vibrant green or red. In sideways markets, candles become purple, indicating less movement.

* Purple = No entry zone, uncertain, no trend
* Green = Bullish / Long
* Red = Bearish / Short

**Trend Ribbon Mode**

Opt for simplicity with colors from our trend ribbon. It's perfect if you want a clean chart without too many lines. Green is bullish and red is bearish.

**Moving Average Mode**

Candles above the moving average turn green for possible uptrends, while those below become red, suggesting potential downtrends.
