HTF Candles is an indicator for the cTrader platform that displays real-time higher timeframe candles (weekly, daily, 4-hour, and hourly) directly on your current chart. This allows traders to view comprehensive market structure without switching between timeframes. The indicator updates candle colors in real time to reflect momentum shifts, aiding in quick trend analysis and decision-making.
Users can toggle individual higher timeframe candle blocks on or off and adjust the number of visible candles per timeframe (1 to 10). This facilitates monitoring of key levels and trend directions across multiple timeframes simultaneously. Practical use cases include anticipating candle closings, detecting live trend reversals, and identifying confluence entries based on support, resistance, and candle color changes.
Due to platform visual constraints, manual zoom and scroll are currently required for optimal viewing, especially on timeframes below 1 hour. Planned updates will introduce horizontal scrolling to enable historical pattern analysis, comparison of current versus past structures, and identification of key zones on higher timeframes.
HTF Candles supports traders in aligning trades with higher timeframe trends and enhances multi-timeframe market analysis within a single chart view.
