HTF Candles [TakingProphets]

OVERVIEW

The High Time Frame Candles indicator helps traders align their lower-timeframe executions with institutional context by projecting higher-timeframe (HTF) structure directly onto their charts. Designed for traders using ICT-inspired concepts, this tool integrates multi-timeframe candle visualization, real-time SMT divergence detection, and dynamic Open-High-Low-Close (OHLC) projections into a single customizable framework.

It’s not a signal generator — instead, it serves as an informational overlay that simplifies analysis by consolidating critical HTF insights into your intraday workflow.

WHAT THE INDICATOR DOES

Plots Up to 10 Higher Time Frame Candles
-Visualize HTF candles directly on your lower timeframe chart. The candles are offset to the right for clarity, giving you a clean and organized view of structure without cluttering price action.

HTF Close Timer
-Displays a countdown showing exactly when the current HTF candle will close — useful for timing trades around session boundaries.

Real-Time SMT Divergence Detection
-Compares price action on your main chart against a correlated asset (default: CME_MINI:ES1!) to automatically detect and label potential bearish or bullish SMT divergences. Optional alerts ensure you never miss these events.

Dynamic Candle Projections
-Continuously projects the current HTF candle’s Open, High, Low, and Close levels forward in real time. These evolving reference points can act as natural support/resistance levels and bias filters.
