HTF Candle Projections

HTF Candle Projections overlays higher timeframe structure onto the chart you execute from, projecting recent and live HTF candles into the space right of price. It keeps the top-down workflow permanently on screen: candle polarity for bias, dotted connection lines tracing each HTF high and low to the exact lower timeframe bar that printed it, and internal sentiment bars revealing how many bullish versus bearish lower timeframe candles built each projected candle.

How to Trade the HTF Candle Projections?

• Projected candle polarity: many traders only take setups that agree with the live daily or weekly candle's direction, filtering out counter-trend trades at the source.
• Wick-origin lines: the dotted links mark lower timeframe bars with proven higher timeframe significance — candidate supply and demand zones or order block origins to monitor on any revisit.
• Sentiment divergence: a bullish HTF candle built on heavily bearish internals hints at absorption or exhaustion, while matching internals point to a high-conviction move.
• Solid range lines: the absolute high and low across the projected sequence frame the active HTF range — mean reversion inside it, breakout preparation beyond it, much as traders use prior period levels.

Because the current candle updates in real time, wick development is visible as it happens: price pulling away from an HTF extreme while the connection line stays anchored confirms rejection before the period ever closes.

HTF Candle Projections Settings

• HTF Timeframe: the higher timeframe to project, such as Daily, Weekly, or Monthly.
• Candle Width (Bars) and Gap Between Candles: sizing and spacing of the projected candles.
• Number of HTF Candles: how many HTF candles, completed and live, are projected.
• Show Internal Sentiment Bars: toggles the composition display.
• Colors: bodies, wicks, sentiment bars, connection lines, and range lines are all adjustable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the indicator repaint?

Completed higher timeframe candles do not. The live candle updates as new lower timeframe bars form — natural candle development rather than a redrawn signal.

What do the internal sentiment bars measure?

The ratio of bullish to bearish lower timeframe candles inside each HTF candle, a read on the conviction behind the period's move. For the volume-based view of the same period — profile, delta, and point of control — see HTF Candle Dynamics.
