HFTCandleLite : Higher TimeFrame candles, live on your chart

HFTCandleLite adds a compact panel inside your active chart showing the latest candles of three higher timeframes side by side — by default M15, M30 and H1. Each timeframe shows the last closed bars plus the bar in progress, updated on every tick, with a countdown and progress bar showing how long the current bar has left.

Built for the 3-candle sweep-and-break model
With the default 2 closed bars + live bar, every block shows exactly the three candles of the model:
• Candle 1 sets the range
• Candle 2 sweeps Candle 1’s low (long) or high (short) and closes back inside
• Candle 3 breaks Candle 2’s high (long) or low (short)
• Target: the opposite side of Candle 1

Seeing M15, M30 and H1 together lets you check whether the higher timeframes agree before you act, without switching charts.

Features
• Choose the lowest timeframe from M1 to D1; the panel shows it plus the next two (e.g. M15/M30/H1, H1/H4/D1, D1/W1/MN)
• 1 to 5 closed bars per timeframe, plus the live bar
• Countdown and progress bar per timeframe
• Toolbar icon to show or hide the panel
• Move the panel anywhere on the chart; zoom from 50% to 300%
• Follows the active chart’s symbol, or pin it to one symbol
• Stays in place when you change chart timeframe or symbol
• Position, zoom and settings are remembered between sessions
