MTF Candle Painter overlays the higher timeframe (HTF) context directly on your current chart. It colors every bar on the active timeframe by the direction of the enclosing HTF candle and draws a filled HTF body rectangle (open–close only, no wicks) plus optional HTF High/Low lines. Separate bull/bear colors and adjustable fill opacity give a clean, readable bias at a glance.

Key Features

  • Multi-timeframe bar coloring: all bars inside an HTF candle inherit its bullish/bearish color.
  • HTF body overlay: rectangle between HTF open and close; no middle wick for clarity.
  • Separate bull/bear styling: independent outline and fill colors for bullish and bearish HTF candles.
  • Adjustable opacity: set fill transparency (default 10%) for neat stacking with price.
  • HTF High/Low lines: optional, with configurable thickness.
  • Lookback control: choose how many recent HTF candles to render (default 20).
  • Lightweight: uses native chart objects; fast and unobtrusive.
