falling(source, length)
Parameters
Falling - falling(source, length)
Tests for consecutive decreasing values.

Returns TRUE when:
source[0] < source[1] < source[2] < ... < source[length]
Strict inequality (equal values fail)
Examples
// 3 consecutive lower closes
falling(close, 3);
// volume decreasing for 2 bars
falling(volume, 2);
// RSI falling for 5 bars (weakening momentum)
falling(rsi(close, 14), 5);
// fast EMA falling and price below slow EMA
falling(ema(close, 8), 3) and close < ema(close, 21);

Boolean: TRUE when consecutively falling
