OrderBlocks

Library "OrderBlocks"
This is a library I created that creates order blocks. It's originated from my indicator "Order blocks" (tradingview.com/script/gBnqr4b2-Order-blocks/). It will return a Zone object that can be used to draw an order block. If you want to see how that is done you can check out my indicar that uses the same logic.

Create(settings)
  Creates an order block if one is found according to the settings parameter.
  Parameters:
    settings (Settings): set all values in this parameter to define the settings for the order block creation.
  Returns: a Zone object if an order block is found, na otherwise

Zone
  Fields:
    Time (series int)
    TimeClose (series int)
    High (series float)
    Low (series float)
    ReactionLimit (series float)
    TouchedZone (Zone type from mickes/Touched/14)
    Type (series int)

Zones
  Fields:
    Index (series int)
    Maximum (series int)
    Zones (array<Zone>)
    Remove (Zone)

Settings
  Fields:
    TakeOut (series bool)
    ReactionFactor (series float)
    Type (series string)
    ConsecutiveRisingOrFalling (series bool)
    FairValueGap (series bool)

    TimeClose (series int): The end time of zone creation.
    High (series float): The maximimum price of the zone.
