The Overlay Timeframe Candlestick helps traders:

• See higher timeframe structure

• Identify consolidation inside larger candles

• Spot breakout context

• Align entries with broader market direction
  
  

Settings

Chart Area

• Horizontal – Draws overlay candles directly on the price chart.

• Vertical – Displays vertically (if supported).

• Panel selector – Chooses which chart panel the overlay appears in.

General

Param type

Defines the timeframe type used for the overlay (e.g., Minute, Hour, Day).

Param 1

Specifies the primary timeframe value.
Example: 5 (if Param type = Minute → overlays 5-minute candles).

Param 2

Optional secondary parameter used when required by the selected timeframe type.

Color

Up bar

Sets the color of bullish higher-timeframe candles.

Down bar

Sets the color of bearish higher-timeframe candles.

Show filled bar

Determines whether candles are filled or hollow.

Plot

Candle width

Controls the width of the overlay candles.

Border width

Adjusts thickness of the candle borders.

Opacity

Controls transparency of the overlay candles.
Higher value = more solid.
Lower value = more transparent.

Show vertical line on close

Draws a vertical line when a higher timeframe candle closes.

How It Works

• Aggregates lower timeframe data into higher timeframe candles.

• Displays them visually on top of the current chart.

• Updates in real time until the higher timeframe bar closes.

Notes

• Useful for multi-timeframe analysis.

• Best combined with structure and liquidity levels.

• Does not replace switching timeframes — it overlays context.
