Updated HTF Candle Overlay (Boxes + Wicks) 1hr / Solal
Description:
This indicator lets you visualize higher time frame (HTF) candles directly on a lower time frame chart.
It draws each HTF candle as a transparent box (the body) with wicks extending to the high and low. The boxes automatically update as each higher time frame candle forms and remain fixed once the candle closes.
You can choose any higher time frame (e.g., 1H, 4H, 1D) while trading on lower intervals (like 1m, 5m, 15m) to see key market structure and price zones.
Features:
Display candles from any higher time frame on your current chart.
Customizable colors for bullish and bearish candles.
Adjustable transparency, border and wick thickness.
History depth setting to control how many past HTF candles are displayed.
No repainting — candles stay fixed once closed.
Use case:
Ideal for traders who want to monitor higher time frame price action (support/resistance, trend direction) without switching chart time frames.

Release Notes
✅ Effect of these changesPreviously, wicks always had one fixed color for all candles.
Now, bullish candles’ wicks automatically use the bullish wick color, and bearish candles’ wicks use the bearish wick color.
Users can customize these two wick colors independently in the indicator settings.
