LTF HTF CANDLE fast deployThe "LTF Candle Fast Deploy" script allows you to clearly and dynamically display candles from lower timeframes (LTF) and higher timeframes (HTF) on the same chart. With the cursor function, it becomes simple to move the end line and analyze completely different points. You can configure the number of candles and timeframes, as well as customize colors and borders. One of its key features is temporal alignment: the last LTF candle is forced to coincide with a defined end date (end_date), with a transparent background applied to highlight the area around this date.
Additionally, the script supports two different timeframes, allowing you to simultaneously compare two series of candles, with adjustable width and spacing options to better fit the chart. A summary table can be displayed in an overlay to show information about timeframes and the amount of candles, while a triangle visually marks the candle corresponding to the end date.
Finally, there are performance limits in place to ensure optimal functioning, such as the maximum number of bars analyzed and a limit on the offset, to prevent slowdowns in the chart.
--------------------------------------------------KEY FEATURES--------------------------------------------------
1. **Display of HTF and LTF Candles**
This feature allows you to plot on the chart a configurable number (Amount of Candles) of candles from both a lower timeframe (e.g., 30m) and a higher timeframe (e.g., 4H). The candles are drawn using `box.new` for the body and `line.new` for the wicks, with customizable colors and borders.
2. **Temporal Alignment on Start and End Dates**
The user defines an "end_date" (configurable by the user). The last LTF candle is forced to horizontally align with the corresponding bar at the end_date, calculating a dynamic offset. A semi-transparent background is applied to all bars near the end_date to highlight the concluding period. By simply moving the cursor, you can shift the focus to another area.
3. **Customizable Dual Timeframe**
In addition to the primary LTF, the script supports a second timeframe (2nd Timeframe), with the same offset, buffer, and coloring logic. It is recommended to use an HTF or the same timeframe as the chart. This feature allows you to simultaneously compare two sets of candles from different timeframes on the same chart.
4. **Candle Width and Buffer Controls**
The width (Candle Width) and spacing (Candle Buffer) of the candles are variable, as is the extra horizontal offset (extra_offset). These parameters allow precise adjustment of the visual clutter and alignment with the chart bars.
5. **Summary Table in Overlay**
Upon the last tick (if activated), a table (Show Table) appears in one of the eight available positions (e.g., top right). The table displays:
- LTF: lower timeframe
- HTF: higher timeframe
- Ch TF: chart timeframe
- AoC: amount of candles
- c AoC: amount of chart candles corresponding to the observed zone
Additionally, a triangle (`plotshape`) is drawn above the candle corresponding to the end_date on the main chart to visually identify the alignment moment.
6. **Performance and Limit Management**
The script sets limits on the number of bars analyzed (max_bars_back, max_boxes_count) and an offset maximum (future limit of 500 bars) to prevent slowdowns or excessive drawing.
Lowertimeframe
Dominant Smoothed Volume Pro Smoothed Volume Pro provides a useful tool designed to provide traders with a deeper understanding of market dynamics by analyzing buy and sell volume across multiple timeframes. Unlike traditional volume indicators, this script normalizes volume data from lower timeframes to align with the current chart's timeframe, providing an apples-to-apples comparison. The result is a visual histogram representation of the dominant buy or sell activity, smoothed over 5 different periods to reflect momentum shifts and enhance clarity.
Core Methodology
1. Multi-Timeframe Volume Analysis
This indicator leverages data from five different lower timeframes, each chosen dynamically based on the current chart's timeframe. By aggregating and normalizing these granular data points, the indicator captures subtle shifts in buy and sell volume that might otherwise go unnoticed. This multi-timeframe approach allows for a more detailed and accurate representation of market activity.
2. Data Normalization
Normalization is a critical component of this indicator. It ensures that volume data from lower timeframes is scaled appropriately to match the total volume of the current chart's timeframe. This step eliminates discrepancies caused by varying time intervals, providing a more meaningful comparison of volume trends across different periods.
3. Smoothing for Momentum Representation
The indicator employs five customizable smoothing factors to smooth out noisy volume data.
Each smoothing factor is distinctly color-coded in the histogram and table for intuitive analysis, helping traders quickly identify prevailing trends.
Features and Benefits
➖Customizable Smoothing Factors: Choose from five different smoothing factors, each with its unique settings for line styles, colors, and extensions.
➖Normalized Buy and Sell Volume: Displays normalized buy and sell volumes as a percentage of total activity, aiding in quick decision-making.
➖Visual Cues: Color-coded columns and labels help identify dominant trends at a glance, with high-opacity fills for visual clarity.
➖Dynamic Table: A built-in table summarizes smoothed volume data for each smoothing factor, offering a quick overview of bullish and bearish percentages.
➖Momentum Signals: Detect significant shifts in volume momentum with visually distinct alerts for high relative volumes, including special symbols like "⚡" and "🔥."
Practical Applications
➖Identifying Market Sentiment: Quickly determine whether the market is dominated by buyers or sellers at any given moment.
➖Spotting Reversals: Use momentum shifts in smoothed volume to anticipate potential trend reversals.
➖Enhancing Entry and Exit Points: Combine this indicator with other technical tools to refine entry and exit points in your trading strategy.
Why This Indicator Stands Out
Many existing volume indicators focus solely on raw or single-timeframe data, which can be misleading or incomplete. This indicator sets itself apart by:
Utilizing multi-timeframe data to provide a holistic view of market activity.
Applying robust normalization techniques to ensure data consistency.
Offering advanced smoothing options to emphasize actionable momentum signals.
This unique combination of features makes it an indispensable tool for traders seeking to enhance their market analysis and decision-making process.
As always, by combining the Smoothed Volume Pro with other tools, traders ensure that they are not relying on a single indicator. This layered approach can reduce the likelihood of false signals and improve overall trading accuracy.
Here's an additional visual representation using the plot fills:
libTFLibrary "libTF"
libTF: Find higher/lower TF automatically
This library to find higher/lower TF from current timeframe(timeframe.period) for Pine Script version6(or higher).
Basic Algorithm
Using a timeframe scale Array and timeframe.in_seconds() function to find higher/lower timeframe.
Return value is na if could not find TF in the timeframe scale.
The timeframe scale could be changed by the parameter 'scale'(CSV).
How to use
1. Set higher/lower TF
higher()/lower() function returns higher/lower TF.
Default timeframe scale is "1, 5, 15, 60, 240, 1D, 1M, 3M, 12M".
example:
htf1 = higher()
htf2 = higher(htf1)
ltf1 = lower()
ltf2 = lower(ltf1)
2. Set higher/lower TF using your timeframe scale
The timeframe scale could be changed by the parameter.
example:
myscale="1,60,1D,1M,12M"
htf1 = higher(timeframe.period,myscale)
htf2 = higher(htf1,myscale)
ltf1 = lower(timeframe.period,myscale)
ltf2 = lower(ltf1,myscale)
3. How to use with request.*() function
na value is set if no higher/lower TF in timeframe scale.
It returns current timeframe's value, when na value as timeframe parameter in request.*().
As bellow, if it should be na when timeframe is na.
example:
return_value_request_htf1 = na(htf1)?na:request.security(syminfo.tickerid,htf1,timeframe.period)
return_value_request_ltf1 = na(ltf1)?na:request.security(syminfo.tickerid,ltf1,timeframe.period)
higher(tf, scale)
higher: find higher TF from TF string.
Parameters:
tf (string) : default value is timeframe.period.
scale (string) : TF scale in CSV. default is "1,5,15,60,240,1D,1W,1M,3M,12M".
Returns: higher TF string.
lower(tf, scale)
lower: find lower TF from TF string.
Parameters:
tf (string) : default value is timeframe.period.
scale (string) : TF scale in CSV. defalut is "1,5,15,60,240,1D,1W,1M,3M,12M".
Returns: lower TF string.
See LTF Candles and VolumeThis indicator will show you the candles, wicks, and their volumes from a lower timeframe chart. You can also select a different symbol in inputs.
This indicator uses requests to receive data from different timeframe or symbols, and it simply draws boxes and lines from the requested data.
Volume Analysis - Heatmap and Volume ProfileHello All!
I have a new toy for you! Volume Analysis - Heatmap and Volume Profile . Honestly I started to work to develop Volume Heatmap then I decided to improve it and add more features such Volume profile, volume, difference in Buy/Sell volumes etc. I tried to put my abilities into this script and tried to use some new Pine Language™ features ( method, force_overlay, enum etc features ). I hope the usage of these new features would be an example for Pine Programmers.
Lets talk about how it works:
- It gets number of Rows/Columns from the user for each candle to create heatmap
- It calculates the number of the candles to analyze. Number of the candles may change by number of Rows/columns or if any volume / difference in volumes / volume profile is enabled
- It gets Closing/Opening price, Volume and Time info from lower time frame for each candle ( it can be up to 100K for each candle )
- After getting the data it calculates lower time frame to analyze
- Then it calculates how closing price moves, how much volume on each move and create boxes by the volume/move in each box
- The colors for each box calculated by volume info and closing price movements in the lower time frame
- It shows the boxes on Absolute places or Zero Line optionally
- it shows Volume, Cumulative volume, Difference between Buy/Sell volume for each column
- it changes empty box color by Chart background color, also you can change transparency
- At this time it creates Volume Profile with up to 25 rows
- As a new Pine Language™ feature, it can show Volume Profile in the indicator window or in Main chart, shows Value Area, Value Area High (VAH), Value Area Low (VAL), and draw it and POC (Point Of Control) in the indicator window and/or in the main chart
- Honestly the feature I like is that: For the markets that are not open 24/7, it combines the data from the lower time period without any gaps. For example, if you work for a market that is closed on Saturdays and Sundays, it ensures data integrity by omitting weekends and holidays. so for example if the data is like "ABC---DEF-X---YL-Z" then it makes this data like "ABCDEFXYLZ". In this way, there will be no data breaks in the displayed boxes, there will be no empty colons, and it will appear as if data is coming in at any time.
- Finally it shows Info Panel to give info, its background color automatically changes by the Chart background color
- Important! You should set your "Plan" accordingly, your plan is "Premium or Higher" or "Lower tier". so the script can understand the minimum time frame it can get data!!
I tried to share many screenshots below to explain it much better
How it looks?
it shows Highest Buy/Sell volumes brighter, move volume -> brighter
Volume Profile ( up to 25 row s) ( number of contained candles should be more than 1 )
Volume Profile can be shown in the main chart optionally
How the main chart looks:
Closing price shown and you can enable it, change colors & line width
Can include many candles according to Row&Column number you set
Optionally it can show cumulative volume for each candle
Closing prices from lower time frame
Shows Candle Body by changing background colors
It can shows all included candles on Zero line
You can change the colors of many things
You can set Empty box and border transparency
Table, Empty box Colors adjustment done automatically by chart background color
Sometimes we can not get data from some historical candles if time frame is high such 2days, 1 week etc, and it looks like:
It also checks if Chart time frame and Chart type is suitable
Enjoy!
Auto-magnifier / quantifytools- Overview
Auto-magnifier shows a lower timeframe view of candles and volume bars inside any main timeframe candle by zooming into it. Candles and volume bars as they develop are shown chronologically from left to right. By default, magnifier is triggered when less than 3 candles are visible on the chart.
By default, 20 lower timeframe candles are displayed by splitting main timeframe into 20 parts. The amount of candles displayed is a target rate, meaning the script will use a lower timeframe that has the closest match to 20 candles and therefore will vary a bit. Users can override automatic timeframe calculation and opt in to display any specific lower timeframe or adjust amount of candles shown (e.g. 20 -> 30 candles) per each main timeframe candle.
Example
Main timeframe set to 30 minute, candles displayed set to 20 -> Magnifying using 2 minute candles (30 minute/20 candles = 1.5 min, rounded to 2 min)
Main timeframe set to 30 minute, override set to 5 minutes -> Displaying 5 minute candles
Size of volume bars is calculated using relative volume (volume relative to volume SMA20), lowest bar representing relative volume values of under or equal to 1x the moving average and from there onwards progressively growing.
- Limitations and considerations
Amount of candles shown might flow over from the background on smaller screen sizes, in which case you would want to decrease the amount shown. Opposite is true for bigger screens, this value can be increased as more candles fit.
This indicator involves a lot of tricks with text elements to make it work automatically by zooming in. Size of wicks, bodies and volume bars are calculated by adding more text elements on big candles and less text elements on smaller candles. This means the displayed candles won't be a 100% match, but a rather a fair representation of the view, e.g. candle is green = lower timeframe candle is green, candle has a big wick = lower timeframe candle has a big wick (but not a 100% match).
Example
Magnified lower timeframe chart vs. Actual lower timeframe chart
Most mismatch will be found on the price levels where lower timeframe candles are shown, which is sacrificed for the sake of getting a better readability on the overall shape of lower timeframe price action. Users can alternatively optimize calculations for more accuracy, giving a better representation of the price levels where candles truly originated. This typically comes with the cost of worse readability however.
Example
Optimized for readability vs. Optimized for accuracy
- Visuals
All visual elements are fully customizable.
Awesome Oscillator + Bars count lines + EMA LineThe indicator includes an Awesome Oscillator with 2 vertical lines at a distance of 100 and 140 bars from the last bar to determine the third Elliott wave by the maximum peak of AO in the interval from 100 to 140 bars according to Bill Williams' Profitunity strategy. Additionally, a faster EMA line is displayed that calculates the difference between 5 Period and 34 Period Exponential Moving Averages (EMA 5 - EMA 34) based on the midpoints of the bars, just like AO calculates the difference between Simple Moving Averages (SMA 5 - SMA 34).
In the indicator settings, you can change the number of bars for vertical lines and any parameters for AO and EMA - method (SMA, Smoothed SMA, EMA and others), length, source (open, high, low, close, hl2 and others).
***
Индикатор включает Awesome Oscillator с 2 вертикальными линиями на расстоянии 100 и 140 баров от последнего бара, чтобы определить третью волну Эллиота по максимальному пику AO в интервале от 100 до 140 баров по стратегии Profitunity Билла Вильямса. Дополнительно отображается более быстрая линия EMA, которая вычисляет разницу между 5 Периодной и 34 Периодной Экспоненциальными Скользящими Средними (EMA 5 - EMA 34) по средним точкам баров (hl2), точно так же, как AO вычисляет разницу между Простыми Скользящими Средними (SMA 5 - SMA 34).
В настройках индикатора вы можете изменить количество баров для вертикальных линий и любые параметры для AO и EMA – метод (SMA, Smoothed SMA, EMA и другие), длину, источник (open, high, low, close, hl2 и другие).
Highest Volume Bar from a Lower TimeframeVolume is an essential indicator in technical analysis as it can signal confirmations of movement, reversals, and more. This indicator was developed to identify candles with high volume in both the current timeframe and a lower timeframe
SETTINGS
The indicator has two display modes: Candles and Volume.
- Candles: it presents a traditional candlestick chart that shows the candles of the current timeframe, along with the candle with the highest volume from the lower timeframe.
- Volume: it features a volume chart displaying the volume of the current timeframe in histogram form, as well as the bar with the highest volume from the lower timeframe represented in columns.
LOWER TIME FRAME SETTINGS
- Lower Time Frame: the lower timeframe to be taken into consideration.
- LTF Candle Display: determines which candles from the current timeframe chart will display the candles with the highest volume from the lower timeframe.
- Volume Display: determines how the volume bars will be presented for both the current timeframe and the lower timeframe.
VOLUME LEVEL SETTINGS
- SMA Period: the time period for calculating the volume average.
- High Volume: the multiplier used to classify a candle as having high volume.
- Medium Volume: the multiplier used to classify a candle as having medium volume.
- Low Volume: the multiplier used to classify a candle as having low volume.
- Show Volume MA: enable this option to display the Volume MA on the chart.
COLOR SETTINGS
- Candle Color: the color to be used in the charts.
- Shade Intensity : the intensity of the shades for volume levels.
- Transparency : the transparency to be used for the candles of the current timeframe when displaying candles with higher volume from the lower timeframe.
Price at time (sub-bar resolution)This simple script shows you the price at a fixed sub-bar time, and is useful for back-testing.
For example, if your strategy is to enter buy stops overnight and check your positions at lunch the next day, then use this indicator to highlight the opening price of the 3rd 60-minute bar. The default is the open price of the second 30-minute bar ("10 am").
Split VolumeThe Split Volume indicator displays 'Upwards' and 'Downwards' volume with an additional method for distributing 'split' candle volume.
A 'split' candle is a candle whose direction is...'Split'...since the open and close are equal. (Ex. Doji)
Upwards and Downwards Volume is tracked by comparing the Open and Closes of the Lower Timeframes.
If the Close is Greater-than the Open, we track the Volume as 'Upwards' Volume.
If the Close is Less-than the Open, we track the Volume as 'Downwards' Volume.
If the Close and Open are Equal, we assume that the Volume is an even split 50/50, and track it as such.
The indicator pulls data from lower timeframes to achieve more granular Open,Close,& Volume Data
Specifically:
<5m Timeframe: 1 Second LTF
<60m Timeframe: 5 Second LTF
<1D Timeframe: 1 Minute LTF
>1D Timeframe: 60m LTF
We have also included some nice-to-have features
50% Volume Line: This line splits each columns in half, this is used as quick reference to see exactly which side the volume is on.
High Volume Candle Identification: We are detecting bars with high relative volume and coloring them on the upper chart for use as important zones.
Status Line Readouts: The Status line for this indicator is formatted for simple reading. It Reads(Left-to-Right):Total Volume, Downwards Volume, 50% Value, Upwards Volume

Trading Session TemplateDescription:
The Trading Session Template Indicator is a powerful script that allows traders to customize their own trading session time range on a chart. With this indicator, you have the flexibility to define specific hours during which you prefer to focus your trading activities. The example chart showcases the New York session hours, but you can easily adapt it to any desired time range based on your trading strategy and preferences.
Key Features:
Customizable Trading Session: The indicator empowers you to define your own trading session time range, tailored to your preferred market sessions or specific trading hours. This flexibility ensures that the indicator aligns with your unique trading strategy.
Highlighted Trading Session: When a new trading day begins, the script automatically scans for the specified time range. Once the first candle within the range begins printing, the background color of the chart is highlighted, indicating the beginning of the trading session. When the last candle within the range is closed, the background color returns to normal.
Focus on Specific Market Sessions: This indicator is particularly useful for traders who prefer to trade certain market sessions or specific hours during the day. By customizing the trading session, you can better align your trading activities with specific market conditions and trading opportunities.
Candle Pattern Detection: The indicator includes the ability to detect candle patterns such as Doji, Engulfing, Hammer, and Shooting Star. You can activate the desired candle patterns and set up alerts for them. When an alert is triggered, indicating the formation of a specific candle pattern, you can further analyze the market and make informed trading decisions.
ATR Filter: The indicator offers an ATR (Average True Range) filter to limit noise and focus on candle patterns with a size comparable to the ATR. You can set a minimum and maximum size for a candle compared to the ATR. This helps you filter out smaller or larger candles that may not align with your trading preferences.
Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) Levels: When a candle pattern is detected, based on the ATR, the indicator can display suggested Stop Loss and Take Profit levels. This feature provides additional guidance for risk management and potential profit targets.
User-Friendly Interface: The indicator provides a user-friendly interface with adjustable settings and switches for customization. Tooltips are available to guide you through the various options and configurations, making it easy to adapt the indicator to your trading style and preferences.

Bull/Bear Candle % Oscillator█ OVERVIEW
This script determines the proportion of bullish and bearish candles in a given sample size. It will produce an oscillator that fluctuates between 100 and -100, where values > 0 indicate more bullish candles in the sample and values < 0 indicate more bearish candles in the sample. Data produced by this oscillator is normalized around the 50% value, meaning that an even 50/50 split between bullish and bearish candles makes this oscillator produce 0; this oscillator indirectly represents the percent proportion of bullish and bearish candles in the sample (see HOW TO USE/INTERPRETATION OF DATA ).
It has two overarching settings: 'classic' and 'range'.
█ CONCEPTS
This script will cover concepts related to candlestick analysis, volumetric analysis, and lower timeframes.
Candlestick Analysis - The idea behind this script is to solely look at the candlesticks themselves and derive information from them in a given sample. It separates candles into two categories, bullish (close > open) and bearish (close < open).
If the indicator's setting is set to 'classic', the size of candles do not matter and all are assigned a value of 1 or 0.
If the indicator's setting is set to 'range', specific candle ranges modify the proportion of bullish/bearish values. Bullish candle values include all bullish candles in the set from their lows to the close, plus the lower wicks of all bearish candles. Bearish candle values include all bearish candles in the set from their highs to the close, plus the upper wicks of all bullish candles.
Volumetric Analysis - One of this script's features allows the user to modify the bullish and bearish candle proportions by its 'weight' determined by its volume compared to the sample set's total volume. Volumetric analysis for the 'range' setting are more complex than 'classic' as described below.
Lower Timeframes - For volumetric analysis to be done on candle wicks, there needed to be a way to determine how much volume had occurred in the wick by itself to find the weight of upper and lower wicks. To accomplish this, I employed PineScrypt's request.security_lower_tf function to grab OHLC values of lower timeframe candles (as well as volume) to determine how much volume had occurred in the wicks of the chart resolution's candle. The default OHLC values used here are the lows for upper wicks and highs for lower wicks. These OHLC values are then compared to the chart resolution candle's close to determine if the volume of that lower timeframe candle should be shifted to the wick weight or stay in the current weight of that candle. The reason 'low' and 'high' are used here is to guarantee that 100% of the volume of a lower timeframe candle had occurred in the wick of the candle at the current resolution (see LIMITATIONS ).
Bullish candles will exclude volume of all lower timeframe candles whose lows were greater than that candle's close. Bearish candles will exclude volume of all lower timeframe candles whose highs were less than that candle's close. These wick volumes are then divided by the volume of the sample set, and wick sizes are then multiplied by this weight before being added to their specific bullish/bearish sums (lower wicks to bullish and upper wicks to bearish).
█ FEATURES
There are 13 inputs for the user to modify the behavior/visual representation of this script.
Sample Length - This determines how many candles are in the sample set to find the proportion of bullish and bearish candles.
Colors and Invert Colors - There are three colors set by the user: a bullish color, neutral color, and bearish color. The oscillator plots two lines, one at 0 and another that represents the proportion of bullish or bearish candles in the sample set (we'll call this the 'signal line'). If the oscillator is above 0, bullish color is used, bearish otherwise. This script generates a gradient to color a filled area between the 0 line and the signal line based on the historical values of the oscillator itself and the signal line. For bullish values, the closer the signal line is to the max (or restricted max described below) that the oscillator has experienced, the more colored toward bullish color the shaded area will be, using the neutral color as a starting point. The same is applied to the bearish values using the bearish color.
There is an additional input to invert the colors so that the bearish color is associated with bullish values and vise-versa.
Calculation Type - This determines the overarching behavior of the oscillator and has two settings:
Classic - The weight of candles are either 1 if they occurred and 0 if not.
Range - The weight of candles is determined by the size of specific sections as described in CONCEPTS - Candlestick Analysis .
Volume Weighted - This enables modifying the weights of candles as described in CONCEPTS - Volumetric Analysis and Lower Timeframes based on which Calculation Type is used.
Wick Slice Resolution - This is the lower timeframe resolution that will be used to slice the chart resolution's candle when determining the volumetric weight of wicks. Lower timeframe resolutions like '1 minute' will yield more precise results as they will give more data points to go off of (see LIMITATIONS ).
Upper/Lower Wick Source - These two inputs allow the user to select which OHLC values to compare against the chart resolution's candle close when determining which lower timeframe candles will have their volumes associated with the wicks of candles being analyzed at the chart's resolution.
Restrict Min/Max Data and Restriction - This will restrict the maximum and minimum values that will be used for the signal line when comparing its value to previous oscillator values and change how the color gradient is generated for the indicator. Restriction is the number of candles back that will determine these maximum and minimum values.
Display Min/Max Guide - This will plot two lines that are colored the corresponding bullish and bearish colors which follow what the maximum and minimum values are currently for the oscillator.
█ HOW TO USE/INTERPRETATION OF DATA
As mentioned in the OVERVIEW section, this oscillator provides an indirect representation of the percent proportion of bullish or bearish candles in a given sample. If the oscillator reads 80, this does not mean that 80% of all candles in the sample were bullish . To find the percentage of candles that were bullish or bearish, the user needs to perform the following:
50% + ((|oscillator value| / 100) * 50)%
If the oscillator value is negative, the value from above will represent the percentage of bearish candles in the sample. If it is positive, this value represents the percentage of bullish candles in the sample.
Example 1 (oscillator value = 80):
50% + ((|80| / 100) * 50)%
50% + ((0.80) * 50)%
50% + 40% = 90%
90% of the candles in the sample were bullish.
Example 2 (oscillator value = -43):
50% + ((|-43| / 100) * 50)%
50% + ((0.43) * 50)%
50% + 21.5% = 71.5%
71.5% of the candles in the sample were bearish.
An example use of this indicator would be to put in a 'buy' order when its value shows a significant proportion of the sampled candles were bearish, and put in a 'sell' order when a significant proportion of candles were bullish.

█ LIMITATIONS
Range Volumetric Weights :
Because of the conditions that must be met in order for volume to be considered part of wicks, it is possible that the default settings and their intended reasoning will not produce reliable results. If all lower timeframe candles have highs or lows that are within the body of the candle at the chart's resolution, the volume for the wicks will effectively be 0, which is not an accurate representation of those wicks. This is one of the reasons why I included the ability to change the source values used for these conditions as certain OHLC values may produce more reliable/intended results under these conditions.
Wick Slice Resolution :
PineScript restricts the number of intrabar references to 100,000 total. This script uses 3 separate request.security_lower_tf calls and has a default resolution of 1 minute. This means that if the user were to set the oscillator to the Range setting, enable volume weighted, and had the Wick Slice Resolution set to 1 minute, this script will exceed this 100,000 reference restriction within 24 days of data and will not produce any results beyond the previous 23.14 days.

Volume Trend Meter LTFA new take to an already popular indicator of mine, now with lower time frame support for a volume called Volume Trend Meter LTF (VTML).
The VTM LTF indicator measures the volume pressure at a specific part of the candle (Start, Middle, or the end of the candle) and displays it as a histogram.
This indicator sums up all green candle volumes and red candle volumes over the selected part of the candle (Select in settings - start end or middle) and plots their values by subtracting increasing volume and decreasing volume.
Use this indicator to identify increasing volume with the green candles (close bigger than open) and increasing volume of the red candles (close is smaller than open).
Can also work on daily charts and higher.
======= Calculation ==========
For Green Column: The total Volume of green candles is higher than the total red candle volume.
For Red Column: The total Volume of red candles is higher than the total green candle volume.
======= Volume Trend Meter LTF Colors =======
Green: Increasing buying pressure.
Red: Increasing selling pressure.

Lower time frame Intrabar CandlesI was looking for an indicator to show me what a lower time frame is doing at the start, middle, and end of the candle, but I couldn't find one, hench,
I made my own using Tradingview latest capabilities to fetch a lower time frame from a higher time frame chart.
For example, if your chart is 1 hour and this indicator is set to a lower time frame of 15 minutes, then the Start, Middle, or End (Select which in settings) of the 15min candle will be displayed overlaying the 1-hour candle.
This will always show you what the lower time frame candle is currently doing without the need to open an additional lower time frame chart. How cool is that?
Remember to select a lower time frame in the settings than the chart time frame for it to work as expected.
Enjoy :)
-=== Notes ===-
* The lower time frame candles BORDER is set to WHITE by default, however, you can adjust the color of the candle (wicks, body, and border) of the 'LTF Candle' indicator inside its Settings -> Style
* Suitable for candles and designed to work in historical and real time.
* Added optional label to show lower time frame values (can be disabled via indicator settings).
* You can adjust the visuals of the chart candles at Chart Settings -> Symbol -> Body, Borders, or Wicks to visually see better the lower time frame candles.
There is also a similar concept volume-based using histogram, stay tuned.

Magnifying Glass (LTF Candles) by SiddWolf█ OVERVIEW
This indicator displays The Lower TimeFrame Candles in current chart, Like Zooming in on the Candle to see it's Lower TimeFrame Structure. It plots intrabar OHLC data inside a Label along with the volume structure of LTF candle in an eloquent format.
█ QUICK GUIDE
Just apply it to the chart, Hover the mouse on the Label and ta-da you have a Lower Timeframe OHLC candles on your screen. Move the indicator to the top and shrink it all the way up, because all the useful data is inside the label.
Inside the label: The OHLC ltf candles are pretty straightforward. Volume strength of ltf candles is shown at bottom and Volume Profile on the left. Read the Details below for more information.
In the settings, you will find the option to change the UI and can play around with Lower TimeFrame Settings.
█ DETAILS
First of all, I would like to thank the @TradingView team for providing the function to get access to the lower timeframe data. It is because of them that this magical indicator came into existence.
Magnifying Glass indicator displays a Candle's Lower TimeFrame data in Higher timeframe chart. It displays the LTF candles inside a label. It also shows the Volume structure of the lower timeframe candles. Range percentage shown at the bottom is the percentage change between high and low of the current timeframe candle. LTF candle's timeframe is also shown at the bottom on the label.
This indicator is gonna be most useful to the price action traders, which is like every profitable trader.
How this indicator works:
I didn't find any better way to display ltf candles other than labels. Labels are not build for such a complex behaviour, it's a workaround to display this important information.
It gets the lower timeframe information of the candle and uses emojis to display information. The area that is shown, is the range of the current timeframe candle. Range is a difference between high and low of the candle. Range percentage is also shown at the bottom in the label.
I've divided the range area into 20 parts because there are limitation to display data in the labels. Then the code checks out, in what area does the ltf candle body or wick lies, then displays the information using emojis.
The code uses matrix elements for each block and relies heavily on string manipulation. But what I've found most difficult, is managing to fit everything correctly and beautifully so that the view doesn't break.
Volume Structure:
Strength of the Lower TimeFrame Candles is shown at the bottom inside the label. The Higher Volume is shown with the dark shade color and Lower Volume is shown with the light shade. The volume of candles are also ranked, with 1 being the highest volume, so you can see which candle have the maximum to minimum volume. This is pretty important to make a price action analysis of the lower timeframe candles.
Inside the label on the left side you will see the volume profile. As the volume on the bottom shows the strength of each ltf candles, Volume profile on the left shows strength in a particular zone. The Darker the color, the higher the volume in the zone. The Highest volume on the left represents Point of Control (Volume Profile POC) of the candle.
Lower TimeFrame Settings:
There is a limitation for the lowest timeframe you can show for a chart, because there is only so much data you can fit inside a label. A label can show upto 20 blocks of emojis (candle blocks) per row. Magnifying Glass utilizes this behaviour of labels. 16 blocks are used to display ltf candles, 1 for volume profile and two for Open and Close Highlighter.
So for any chart timeframe, ltf candles can be 16th part of htf candle. So 4 hours chart can show as low as 15 minutes of ltf data. I didn't provide the open settings for changing the lower timeframe, as it would give errors in a lot of ways. You can change the timeframe for each chart time from the settings provided.
Limitations:
Like I mentioned earlier, this indicator is a workaround to display ltf candles inside a label. This indicator does not work well on smaller screens. So if you are not able to see the label, zoom out on your browser a bit. Move the indicator to either top or bottom of all indicators and shrink it's space because all details are inside the label.
█ How I use MAGNIFYING GLASS:
This indicator provides you an edge, on top of your existing trading strategy. How you use Magnifying Glass is entirely dependent on your strategy.
I use this indicator to get a broad picture, before getting into a trade. For example I see a Doji or Engulfing or any other famous candlestick pattern on important levels, I hover the mouse on Magnifying Glass, to look for the price action the ltf candles have been through, to make that pattern. I also use it with my "Wick Pressure" indicator, to check price action at wick zones. Whenever I see price touching important supply and demand zones, I check last few candles to read chart like a beautiful price action story.
Also volume is pretty important too. This is what makes Magnifying Glass even better than actual lower timeframe candles. The increasing volume along with up/down trend price shows upward/downward momentum. The sudden burst (peak) in the volume suggests volume climax.
Volume profile on the left can be interpreted as the strength/weakness zones inside a candle. The low volume in a price zone suggests weakness and High volume suggests strength. The Highest volume on the left act as POC for that candle.
Before making any trade, I read the structure of last three or four candles to get the complete price action picture.
█ Conclusion
Magnifying Glass is a well crafted indicator that can be used to track lower timeframe price action. This indicator gives you an edge with the Multi Timeframe Analysis, which I believe is the most important aspect of profitable trading.

Waddah Attar RSI Levels [Loxx]Waddah Attar RSI levels is an indicator created Ahmad Waddah Attar that draws a daily RSI over onto the current lower timeframe chart.
Wilders' RSI:
The Relative Strength Index ( RSI ) is a well versed momentum based oscillator which is used to measure the speed (velocity) as well as the change (magnitude) of directional price movements. Essentially RSI , when graphed, provides a visual mean to monitor both the current, as well as historical, strength and weakness of a particular market. The strength or weakness is based on closing prices over the duration of a specified trading period creating a reliable metric of price and momentum changes. Given the popularity of cash settled instruments (stock indexes) and leveraged financial products (the entire field of derivatives); RSI has proven to be a viable indicator of price movements.
Rapid RSI:
Rapid RSI Indicator, from Ian Copsey's article in the October 2006 issue of Stocks & Commodities magazine. RapidRSI resembles Wilder's RSI , but uses a SMA instead of a WilderMA for internal smoothing of price change accumulators.
Details
-Used for intraday trading, restricted to timeframes 1 hour and below
-Best Time Frames 15, 30, 60 minutes
Delta Volume by SiddWolfDelta Volume is Difference between Buying Volume and Selling Volume. This indicator gives the Delta Volume based on Lower TimeFrame Candles. It utilizes security_lower_tf() function, a function that provides Lower TF candle data in Higher TF Chart.
security_lower_tf() is a new function provided by TradingView yesterday. If you are a PineScript Programmer, I suggest you to read about it, as it is a very powerful function that can extremely improve your trading strategy.
How this indicator works:
This indicator checks volume data on lower TimeFrame Candles and Shows it's delta in the current Chart Timeframe. For example: If you open 4 hours chart, this indicator checks volume of 1 minute chart and separates Buying-Selling volume. Then it subtracts Candle's Selling volume from Candle's Buying volume, finally calculating the Delta Volume.
This indicator also provides a Smooth Delta Volume, which is moving average of Delta Volume. As Delta Volume changes a lot, Smooth Delta Volume can be very helpful for identifying Trends . Goto settings and in "Show" section select "Smooth Delta Volume" to lay it on the chart.
Settings is the Key:
Settings are key to all of my indicators. Play around with it a bit. You can change what to show on the chart from settings. Smooth Delta Volume moving average length can be changed from the settings. You can also select "Show as Percentage", which shows Delta Volume as Percentage of Overall Candle's Volume. If you use Weekly or Monthly Timeframe, change increase lower timeframe from settings. Read the tooltips to understand what each settings mean. Tooltips are the (i) button in-front of each settings.
FAQs:
Q. Does the indicator Repaint ?
--- No. None of my indicators repaints. What you see now is what's drawn in real time.
Q. What TimeFrame is Best for this Indicator ?
--- It can be used on timeframes from 5 minutes to higher. But I would prefer to use it from timeframes higher than 30 minutes, as it gathers data from 1 minute TF.
Q. Indicator doesn't show anything ?
--- This indicator only works on security with Volume data. Also use it from higher timeframe than specified in Settings, because Volume Delta is calculated using Data from Lower TimeFrame.
Q. Delta volume is not provided by TradingView, So how exactly does this indicator work?
--- This indicator takes advantage of new pinescript function security_lower_tf(), and calculates volume for smaller timeframe data and calculates delta on higher timeframe.
Q. Does this indicator give financial advice?
--- No. Nope. Nein. Não. नहीं.
Conclusion:
This indicator is very basic but if used correctly it can be very powerful. If you have any questions or suggestions feel free to comment below. I'd love to connect with you. Thank you.

Volume Info from Lower Time FramesHello Traders,
We are now able to get info from lower time frames, Many Thanks to Pine Team .This script gets volume info from lower time frames and give alert if there is extreme volumes on last X lower time frame candles (if last X volumes are higher than volume moving average). so that if you set alerts on different securities then you will be able get alert if there is extreme volume moves and you can check the chart immediately.
The options:
Timeframe in Seconds : you can set lower time frames in seconds. by default it's 5 seconds. if you set it 60 then it will show 1min volumes, if you set it 1 then it will show 1 seconds volumes
MA Length : The script draws simple moving average using this length info. by default it's 20.
Number of Bars to Check for Alert : by default it's 5. meaning that if last 5 candles is greater than moving average and if you set alert then you get the alert "Extreme Volume"
Other options are for colors and line width.
As you can see in following example, chart time frame is 1 hour and the script shows volume info of 5 seconds candles:
Enjoy!
