Displaying Higher-Timeframe Candles Colored by a DigitMacd Cloud

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This indicator description explains a charting method for overlaying candles from a larger timeframe on a lower-timeframe chart. It draws the higher-timeframe candles as filled rectangles, using fill buffers, and takes its color cues from the cloud of the DigitMacd indicator. The candle body is shown in blue or orange according to the cloud’s trend direction, while the shadows use lighter blue or beige shades.

The described function is visual: it lets a trader compare higher-timeframe candle structure with the trend state represented by the indicator cloud. The text supplies no entry or exit rules, trading results, or evidence that the color scheme improves decisions. It also depends on the separate DigitMacd indicator file being available in the platform’s indicator folder. The description does not specify how signals are calculated, how timeframes are aligned, or how the display behaves when data is missing, so those implementation details cannot be inferred from the document.

Key ideas

  • The indicator displays candles from a larger timeframe as filled rectangles.
  • Candle colors follow the trend direction shown by the DigitMacd cloud.
  • Bodies and shadows use separate color schemes to distinguish the candle components.
  • The display requires the separate DigitMacd indicator to be installed.
  • The description offers no trading rules or performance evidence.
