HTF Candle Dynamics

HTF Candle Dynamics projects the current developing higher timeframe candle to the right of price, with its open, high, low, and close levels, an intraperiod volume profile, and a polyline tracking the movement of the point of control (POC), so the bigger period's story stays on screen while you execute. It is top-down analysis made ambient: scalpers and day traders keep daily or weekly context in view without ever switching charts.

How to Trade the HTF Candle Dynamics?

• Price above the POC: the market is trading at a premium to where this period's volume has concentrated; below it, at a relative discount.
• POC rising with price: the most-traded level following the move suggests a healthy trend, while price stretching away from a static POC hints at mean reversion back toward the volume.
• HTF high or low breaks: check the profile for volume expansion. A break with participation reads very differently from one into thin acceptance.
• Projected OHLC levels: the developing period's levels often behave as psychological barriers worth marking for entries and exits.

The History Dashboard adds context by summarizing the previous three HTF candles (T-1, T-2, T-3) with OHLC values and volume delta, revealing whether the market is in expansion (growing volume and range) or contraction. Keep the chart timeframe below the selected HTF; a status table validates the pairing to prevent calculation errors.
