[AlscapeLabs] HTF Candle Stack (Multi-Timeframe)

2025년 12월 15일

Overview

The HTF Candle Stack (Multi-TF) indicator is a powerful visualization tool designed to overlay high-timeframe (HTF) price action directly onto your current chart, independent of the chart's price scale. This gives traders a clear, aligned, and non-overlapping view of simultaneous price movements across customizable timeframes.

By stacking the candles horizontally next to the chart's price action, the indicator allows for quick identification of multi-timeframe correlation, trend confluence, and key levels without switching chart timeframes.

Key Features

• 6 Independent Stacks: Configure up to 6 separate timeframes (e.g., 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, Daily, Weekly) to view the complete market fractals from micro to macro.
  
• Price-Aligned Visualization: All HTF candle stacks are perfectly aligned with the main chart's vertical price axis
  
• Replay Mode Safe: Includes dedicated logic to prevent "duplicate candles" during Bar Replay, ensuring accurate backtesting and historical analysis.
  
• Toggleable Stacks: Each stack can be individually enabled or disabled via input settings
  
• Dynamic Spacing: The distance between active stacks is automatically calculated and adjusted based on the visibility of the preceding stack.
  

Settings Guide

Stack Configuration (1 - 6)

Each of the six stacks has identical controls:

• Show/Hide: Enable or disable this specific stack.
  
• Timeframe: The specific HTF to display (e.g., "60" for 1 Hour, "D" for Daily).
  [*}Count: How many candles to show in this stack (Current Active Candle + Past Closed Candles). Tip: Use higher counts (10-12) for lower TFs (Stack 1-2) and lower counts (2-4) for higher TFs (Stack 5-6)

Candle Color
Controls global coloring

• Bullish / Bearish: Customize the body colors.
  
• Wick: Separate control for wick color and transparency
  

Layout

• Distance from Chart: How far (in bars) to the right the first stack begins
  
• Space between Stacks: The gap (in bars) between each active stack.
  
• Candle Width: The thickness of the HTF candles.
  

Labels

Displays a time-frame next to the active (live) candle in each stack

• Show TF Labels: Enable or disable labels through all stacks
  
• Text Color: Label text color
  
• Background: Label background color
  
• Style: Label position (Left, Down)
  
• Size: Label text size (Tiny, Small, Normal, Large, Huge)

v1.1.0: Dynamic Timeframe Filtering
Added a smart visibility filter to improve the user experience when switching timeframes.

New Logic: The indicator now automatically detects your current chart's timeframe. It will hide any Stacks that are lower (faster) than your current chart.

Example:

• If you are on a 30m chart, the 5m and 15m stacks will automatically disappear.
  
• The remaining higher timeframe stacks (e.g., 1H, 4H, Daily) will automatically shift left to fill the gap.

v1.2.0: Stack Countdown Timers
Added live countdown timers to every visible stack with dynamic viewport tracking.

New logic: The indicator now calculates

• remaining time until the live candle closes
  
• the visual midpoint of your stacks.
  

Dynamic viewport tracking:
To keep data visible, the timers automatically snap to the Top or Bottom based on where the price is trading relative to the range.
Example: If you have a massive Daily candle and price is trading near the lows, the timers won't be stuck at the top (potentially off-screen) but will snap to the bottom, right near the price action.

Changes:

• Added: Show Timer toggle in the "Labels" settings group.
  
• Added: f_format_timer logic to convert milliseconds into HH:mm:ss
• Added: Global scanner that aligns all timers on a single horizontal axis (highest high or lowest low) for a clean visual.
