How it Helps Traders
### 1. Multi-timeframe Analysis
By overlaying higher timeframe candles on your current chart, this indicator allows you to easily identify key levels, trends, and potential reversal points across different timeframes without switching between multiple charts.
### 2. Power of Three Strategy
This indicator is invaluable for traders using the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) Power of Three strategy, which focuses on accumulation, manipulation, and distribution phases. The higher timeframe candles help identify these phases more accurately, allowing for better trade entries and exits:
- Accumulation: Identify periods of sideways price action on higher timeframes.
- Manipulation: Spot false breakouts or breakdowns on lower timeframes that are contained within higher timeframe ranges.
- Distribution: Recognize when price is approaching significant higher timeframe levels where smart money may begin to distribute.
### 3. Turtle Soup
Traders can use this indicator to spot potential Turtle Soup setups by identifying key breakout levels on higher timeframes and comparing them to current price action. This helps in:
- Identifying false breakouts that may lead to Turtle Soup trade opportunities.
- Confirming the validity of breakouts by comparing lower timeframe momentum to higher timeframe structure.
### 4. Candle Range Theory (CRT)
This indicator is extremely useful for traders applying Candle Range Theory. CRT focuses on the relationship between the current candle's range and the previous candle's range. By displaying higher timeframe candles, traders can:
- Easily compare candle ranges across multiple timeframes.
- Identify potential breakout or breakdown levels based on the previous HTF candle's range.
- Spot instances where the current lower timeframe price action is testing or breaking significant HTF candle ranges.
- Recognize potential reversal points where price reaches the extremes of higher timeframe candle ranges.
### 5. Support and Resistance
Higher timeframe candles often represent significant support and resistance levels. This indicator makes it easy to spot these levels and incorporate them into your trading decisions, allowing you to:
- Identify key support and resistance levels from higher timeframes.
- Anticipate potential price reactions at these levels on your current timeframe.
- Plan entries, exits, and stop-loss placement with greater precision.
### 6. Trend Identification
By displaying multiple HTF candles, traders can quickly assess the overall trend direction on higher timeframes, helping to align trades with the broader market direction:
- Easily visualize the trend on higher timeframes without changing your chart.
- Identify potential trend changes or continuations based on HTF candle patterns.
- Align your trades with the higher timeframe trend for potentially higher probability setups.
### 7. Enhanced Decision Making
The combination of current timeframe price action and higher timeframe context allows for more informed decision-making, potentially improving trade quality and risk management:
- Validate trade setups by ensuring they align with higher timeframe structure.
- Avoid low-probability trades that conflict with higher timeframe trends or key levels.
- Adjust position sizing based on the proximity to significant HTF levels.
### 8. Time Efficiency
Instead of constantly switching between timeframes, traders can view all necessary information on a single chart, streamlining their analysis process:
- Reduce the time spent switching between multiple charts.
- Quickly assess market conditions across various timeframes.
- Improve focus by having all relevant information in one view.
### 9. ICT Price Delivery (PD) Arrays
The HTF Multi Candles Display is particularly useful for traders familiar with Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts, especially in identifying Price Delivery (PD) arrays:
- Visualize potential PD arrays across multiple timeframes without switching charts.
- Identify key swing highs and lows that form PD array structures.
- Recognize patterns such as Breaker Blocks, Inefficient Price Points, and Fair Value Gaps more easily on higher timeframes.
- Spot potential areas where smart money might be accumulating or distributing by analyzing the relationship between HTF candles.
- Use the series of HTF candles to identify potential Order Blocks, which are often key components of PD arrays.
- Recognize Mitigation Points and Liquidity Voids more effectively by analyzing the structure of multiple HTF candles.
By displaying a series of HTF candles, this indicator allows traders to more easily identify and validate ICT concepts like PD arrays, enhancing their ability to spot high-probability trading opportunities and potential market turning points.
Conclusion
The HTF Multi Candles Display indicator is suitable for traders of all levels, from beginners looking to understand market structure across timeframes to experienced traders refining their multi-timeframe analysis techniques. Whether you're day trading, swing trading, or looking for longer-term positions, this indicator provides valuable insights to enhance your trading strategy.
By incorporating higher timeframe context into your analysis, you can make more informed trading decisions, identify high-probability setups, and potentially improve your overall trading performance. The HTF Multi Candles Display is a versatile tool that adapts to various trading strategies and helps traders gain a deeper understanding of market dynamics across multiple timeframes, including advanced concepts like ICT Price Delivery arrays.
Higher
Papercuts Time Sampled Higher Timeframe EMA Without SecurityThis EMA uses a higher time sampled method instead of using security to gather higher timeframe data.
Its quite fast and worked well with the timeframes prescribed, up to 8hrs, after 8hrs, the formatting gets more complicated and i probably wouldn't use it anyway.
You can use this as a guide to avoid security and even f_security with this method.
NOTE: This includes the non repainting f_security call so that i woudl be able to check my results against what it does, thats not nessecary to keep at all.
There is some minor differences in data, but its so minor it doesnt bother me, though it would be interesting to know what the difference actually is. If anyone figures that out, leave a comment and let me know!
This is meant to be an example for others to build and learn and play with.. so enjoy!
2nd 3rd 4th Order PivotsThis indicator calculates pivots of 2nd, 3rd and 4th order in the current timeframe.
The idea is borrowed from the book "The Art and Science of Technical Trading" by Adam Grimes:
"A pivot high is a bar that has a higher high than the bar that came before it and the bar that comes after it"
"Second-order pivot highs are first-order pivot highs that are preceded and followed by lower first-order pivot highs.
The type of picot calculation can be found as well in script "Higher Order Pivots" by rumpypumpydumpy. However, this script is different in the following ways:
1. Shows pivots of order 2, 3 and 4
2. The chart timeframe can be different than the pivot timeframe, allowing e.g. to map daily pivots to intraday charts via lines
3. Labels and/or lines can be used to show pivot points
4. Use of extended session data can be enabled/disabled, independently from the current chart settings
5. To disable older pivots, a starting time for the pivot calculation can be set
Please consider following limitations:
1. Maximum of 500 drawing objects per chart. Use Notification option to keep track of when running out of chart objects.
2. Lookback history: The max lookback history is limited by the currently selected timeframe. E.g. on a 5min timeframe, 20000 bars (Premium Plan) result in approx. 5 months of lookback period, meaning you may want to verify with a 30 min or higher chart to get a complete picture of pivots.
Higher and lower close indicatorSome strategies depend on a higher or lower close than the previous bar's close. With lower time frames and small bars, this can be time consuming. The indicator reduces the time for such decisions by colour indicating the condition. A higher close than the previous bar is denoted by a green dot at the bottom of the screen, red for a lower close and blue for an equal close.
HTF High/LowThis simple script draws the previous higher timeframe candle high/low to your chart.
You can also make the script paint the zone between the low/open and the high/close.
Higher Timeframe EMAThis script plots a higher timeframe EMA to your chart.
You can specify the timeframe and the length of the EMA in the settings.
This chart demonstrates the 5-minute 50EMA (black) combined with the 1-hour 50EMA (colored) on the 1 minute timeframe.
