Multi Time Frame Candles with Volume Info / 3D

The Multi Time Frame Candles with Volume indicator visualizes higher time frame price action and volume data directly on the current chart using a stylized 3D or 2D interface. It provides traders with immediate context regarding HTF trends, volume participation, and remaining candle time without switching chart intervals.

Usage

The Usage section describes how the script can be used to monitor multiple time horizons simultaneously. By displaying a sequence of historical HTF candles as an overlay, traders can identify momentum shifts and breakout patterns relative to broader market structures.

• Higher Time Frame Analysis: Users can project any time frame (e.g., Daily on a 15m chart) to see the consolidated OHLC data.
• Volume Tracking: Each HTF candle includes a normalized volume bar at its base, allowing for the comparison of relative volume across the last several HTF periods.
• Breakout Identification: The script highlights new highs and lows. If the current price breaks the high or low of the displayed HTF sequence, visual markers (lines) indicate a potential breakout or breakdown.
• Time Management: A countdown timer is displayed near the current candle, showing exactly how much time remains before the current HTF candle closes.

Details

The script utilizes Pine Script arrays to store and manage OHLCV data for the specified number of higher time frame candles. It employs line and label drawings to construct the visual interface rather than standard plot functions, which allows for the "floating" candle effect.

• 3D Visualization: When enabled, the script adds shadows and depth offsets to the candles and volume bars to create a 3D aesthetic.
• Normalization: Volume bars are normalized relative to the price scale to ensure they remain visible and proportionate regardless of the asset's price volatility.
• Coordinate Management: The candles are anchored to a specific bar index (Start Bar), which can be adjusted to prevent the overlay from obstructing recent price action on the primary chart.

Settings

• Time Frame: Sets the higher time frame to be displayed (e.g., 1H, 4H, D, W).
• Number of Candles: Determines how many historical HTF candles are rendered in the sequence (Max 10).
• Color Settings: Includes options for Candle Up/Down, Wick, Volume Up/Down, Time Text, and Shadow colors.
• Background Color: Sets the color of the 3D canvas background.
• Candle Width: Adjusts the visual thickness of the rendered HTF candles.
• Start Bar: Adjusts the horizontal offset of the indicator to position it anywhere on the chart.
• 3D Effect: A toggle to switch between the 3D shaded view and a flat 2D representation.

FAQ

How do I adjust the position of the candles if they overlap with my current price action? You can change the "Start Bar" setting to move the entire indicator overlay further to the left or right on your chart.

Can I see multiple higher time frames at once? Yes, you can load multiple instances of the script on a single chart, setting each to a different time frame and using different "Start Bar" offsets to keep them organized.
