Custom Timeframe Candles [Metrify]

208
This script lets you build custom timeframe candles (like 7m, 11m, 2h, 3D, etc.) by manually aggregating price data from a lower chart timeframe.

While it doesn’t fully replace TradingView’s native custom TF — especially in terms of perfect timestamp alignment, it gives you a very close (same calculation) and practical alternative for analysis.

How it works
  • Candles are manually aggregated from the current chart timeframe
  • Instead of relying on request.security(), candles are constructed directly from the current chart data.
  • For best results, use a chart timeframe that is divisible and as close as possible to your custom timeframe
  • Example: Custom TF = 10m → use 5m chart (1m chart also works, but the gap will be larger and less efficient)
  • Smaller gaps = cleaner candles, better visual accuracy, and smoother updates
