Updated Heikin-Ashi-Candles MTF
Heikin-Ashi Higher Timeframe Candles
This indicator overlays higher-timeframe Heikin-Ashi candles (default: 5 minutes) onto a lower-timeframe chart (e.g., 1 minute). Instead of using standard candlesticks, it draws:
Semi-transparent rectangles to represent the candle bodies.
Vertical lines to represent wicks, centered on each body.
Key features:
Dynamic transparency: The current, still-forming higher-timeframe candle is plotted in green or red (depending on trend) with a separate, lighter transparency (default: 30) so you can easily distinguish it from completed candles.
Finalization on close: As soon as a higher-timeframe candle closes, its body and wicks update to the standard transparency level (default: 50), ensuring completed candles are visually distinct.
Customizable inputs: You can adjust
The higher timeframe (tf) for Heikin-Ashi calculations.
Body transparency for confirmed candles.
Transparency for unfinished candles.
Wick thickness.
Use case:
This is particularly useful for traders who analyze price action on lower timeframes but want to stay aware of the higher-timeframe Heikin-Ashi trend without switching charts. The fading effect on the active candle helps prevent confusion between fully formed candles and those still developing.
