[AlscapeLabs] HTF Candle Stack (Multi-Timeframe)
Overview
The HTF Candle Stack (Multi-TF) indicator is a powerful visualization tool designed to overlay high-timeframe (HTF) price action directly onto your current chart, independent of the chart's price scale. This gives traders a clear, aligned, and non-overlapping view of simultaneous price movements across customizable timeframes.
By stacking the candles horizontally next to the chart's price action, the indicator allows for quick identification of multi-timeframe correlation, trend confluence, and key levels without switching chart timeframes.
Key Features
6 Independent Stacks: Configure up to 6 separate timeframes (e.g., 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, Daily, Weekly) to view the complete market fractals from micro to macro.
Price-Aligned Visualization : All HTF candle stacks are perfectly aligned with the main chart's vertical price axis
Replay Mode Safe : Includes dedicated logic to prevent "duplicate candles" during Bar Replay, ensuring accurate backtesting and historical analysis.
Toggleable Stacks : Each stack can be individually enabled or disabled via input settings
Dynamic Spacing : The distance between active stacks is automatically calculated and adjusted based on the visibility of the preceding stack.
