HTF Candles by Prosum Solutions

2021년 6월 29일

Overview of Features

This indicator was inspired by the work of "informanerd" in the script called "HTF Candles" as well as the built-in script called "Multi-Time Period Charts" by TradingView. The script will provide a highly customizable interface to specify the higher timeframe resolution for the candlesticks, the type of candle, as well as various styling options for the body, borders and wicks.

Usage Information

The indicator can be applied to any chart at any time frame, but resolutions less than 1 minute may demonstrate gaps between bars and the candles may not render properly.

When the "Same as chart" option is chosen for the "Resolution" field, the indicator will attempt to find a higher timeframe resolution to ensure the candlesticks are drawn.

Enjoy! 👍
