HTF Fractal Candle Overlay

어제

HTF Fractal Candle Overlay is a technical visualization tool designed to display higher-timeframe candle structures directly on lower-timeframe charts.

In this script, fractal refers to the repetition and projection of higher-timeframe price structures across lower timeframes. By overlaying HTF candles onto the active chart, traders can observe how lower-timeframe price action evolves within larger timeframe candles, without switching timeframes or using multiple charts.

Core Functionality
• Projects selected higher-timeframe candles onto lower timeframes as a visual overlay
• Displays HTF candle bodies, wicks, opens, highs, lows, and midpoints
• Maintains accurate candle alignment using time-based calculations
• Supports session-aware and time-based candle segmentation
• Includes optional imbalance (FVG) and midpoint visualization
• Provides time-remaining tracking for active HTF candles

Fractal Concept Explained

The fractal behavior in this script is expressed through multi-timeframe structure repetition. Each higher-timeframe candle contains a sequence of lower-timeframe price movements that collectively form the same structural behavior. This overlay allows traders to study that relationship in real time and understand how HTF structure develops internally.

Use Cases
• Multi-timeframe context without timeframe switching
• Refining entries using HTF candle structure on LTF execution charts
• Studying internal candle behavior and volatility distribution
• Session-based structure analysis
• Educational visualization of HTF/LTF price relationships

Design Notes
• Built with performance-focused array management
• Automatically manages drawing lifecycle to prevent chart clutter
• Designed for clarity, not signal generation
• No repainting of completed HTF candles

This indicator is intended as a visual analysis tool, not a trading signal. It provides structural context to support discretionary decision-making based on price behavior.

Historical Overlay Optimization

Optimized the cleanup process for older overlay candles to improve time accuracy and prevent legacy time data from affecting current overlay rendering.
