NY HTF Candles is a specialized indicator panel designed for institutional traders, Smart Money Concepts (SMC) operators, and Candle Range Theory (CRT) practitioners. It provides precise visualization of higher timeframe (HTF) market structure aligned specifically with the New York session, using a custom OffsetHours parameter to synchronize candle times to US Eastern Standard Time (EST) rather than broker server time. This alignment supports accurate analysis of 4-hour and daily candle cycles critical to institutional trading strategies.
Key features include support for multiple timeframes from 15 minutes up to daily, including intermediate intervals such as 2H, 3H, 4H, 6H, and 8H. Users can control the number of historical HTF candles displayed, ensuring tailored chart views. The panel dynamically projects time labels above the highest candle points to avoid overlap with wicks, enhancing readability. Full aesthetic customization is available, allowing modification of candle width, spacing, panel distance from current price, and color schemes to integrate seamlessly with institutional chart templates.
This tool is intended to facilitate precise market structure analysis and candle cycle visualization aligned with the New York trading session for professional trading applications.
