High Timeframe Candles - HTF
High Timeframe Candles - HTF indicator is a professional analysis dashboard developed for traders who want to maintain a clear view of Higher Timeframe (HTF) market structure and liquidity gaps while operating on Lower Timeframes (LTF). Based on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts, this tool dynamically draws up to six selected higher timeframes and their respective imbalances on the right side of the chart (offset). The indicator is specifically designed for "upward" timeframe analysis, meaning it displays only periods higher than your current chart (e.g., viewing 15m, 1H, and 4H candles while on a 5m chart) and does not show lower timeframe data on the dashboard.
One of the indicator's strongest features is its real-time data synchronization. HTF candles are updated instantaneously with every price movement on the lower timeframe. This allows you to monitor the formation, wick length, and expansion of a 15-minute or hourly candle while actively trading on a 1-minute chart. Additionally, it maximizes time management by providing dynamic countdown timers for each HTF candle closing and Day of Week (DOW) labels for daily candles.
In terms of imbalance detection, this tool offers advanced features by automatically identifying Fair Value Gap (FVG) and Volume Imbalance (VI) zones directly on the HTF candles. This functionality enables you to see which high-timeframe gap the price is gravitating toward or which levels it might react to without ever switching charts. Specifically, it includes options to align daily candle calculations with critical ICT "True Day Open" benchmarks, such as Midnight, 08:30, or 09:30 New York time.
Designed with a user-friendly interface, this indicator is fully customizable and optimized to reduce workspace clutter while protecting trader psychology. By eliminating the need to constantly flip through different timeframes, it helps you maintain focus during execution. Coded with the latest Pine Script v6 performance standards, this tool provides a comprehensive roadmap for both scalping and intraday trading strategies.
