HTF Candle Box ( 4H ) for CRT
DESCRIPTION:
This indicator overlays the Higher Timeframe (default: 4H) candle
structure directly on your lower timeframe chart (5min, 15min etc).
It draws 3 boxes for every HTF candle:
// - Body Box : The Open-Close range (Bullish = Blue, Bearish = Red)
// - Upper Wick : High to Body Top (Orange dotted) — Liquidity zone
// - Lower Wick : Body Bottom to Low (Orange dotted) — Liquidity zone
//
// WHY USE THIS?
// When you trade on 5min or 15min, it is easy to lose context of where
// price is within the bigger 4H candle. This tool keeps you aware:
// - Are we inside the body? (consolidation or trend continuation)
// - Are we in the wick zone? (liquidity sweep, possible reversal)
// - Where is the 4H open? (key reference level)
//
// SETTINGS:
// - Higher Timeframe : Change to 1H, Daily, Weekly as needed
// - Body & Wick colors are fully customizable
// - Open Price Line can be toggled on/off
//
// Works on any market: Forex, Crypto, Stocks, Indices.
// No repainting — uses lookahead_off.
