keeping a 30m, 1H, 4H or 1D candle in the corner is an elegant way to preserve broader context, with an opening marker that handles daylight saving but does not check exchange holidays.

the corner candle is a handy way to keep 30m, 1H, 4H or 1D context beside a chart below Daily. A 10 period EMA adds a simple reference. Exchange daylight saving changes are handled for the opening marker, although exchange holidays are not checked.
