HTF Candles
This indicator lets you visualize higher time frame (HTF) candles directly on a lower time frame chart.
It draws each HTF candle as a transparent box (the body) with wicks extending to the high and low. The boxes automatically update as each higher time frame candle forms and remain fixed once the candle closes.
You can choose any higher time frame (e.g., 1H, 4H, 1D) while trading on lower intervals (like 1m, 5m, 15m) to see key market structure and price zones.
Features:
Display candles from any higher time frame on your current chart.
Customizable colors for bullish and bearish candles.
Adjustable transparency, border and wick thickness.
History depth setting to control how many past HTF candles are displayed.
No repainting — candles stay fixed once closed.
