A Higher-Timeframe Karacatica Indicator for Trend and Change Alerts

Summary

The Karacatica_HTF_Signal indicator presents the direction or signal from a selected Karacatica timeframe as chart graphics and can issue alerts and audio cues. A right-pointing marker denotes continuation of the trend at the chosen bar, with its color indicating direction. A diagonal marker appears when the trend has changed, with its direction and color representing the trade side. The signal bar, asset, timeframe, and indicator period are configurable; the documented default timeframe is six hours and the period is 70.

Inputs also control marker and label appearance, chart placement, and alert behavior. Users applying multiple instances to one chart are advised to give each a distinct label prefix, and the underlying compiled Karacatica indicator must be installed. The page describes display and notification behavior rather than the underlying signal calculation or a complete trading system. It provides no performance evidence, entry and exit risk rules, or discussion of repainting and timing; the graphical alerts alone do not establish profitability.

Key ideas

• The indicator displays trend direction or a signal from a selected higher timeframe.
• A right arrow marks trend continuation, while a diagonal arrow marks a trend change.
• Users can configure the signal bar, timeframe, period, chart appearance, and alerts.
• The document does not explain the underlying calculation or provide performance evidence.
