Displaying Higher-Timeframe MA Rounding Candles as Filled Backgrounds

Summary

The document describes a chart-display indicator that renders candlesticks from a higher timeframe using the MA Rounding Candle indicator. It draws the candle bodies and shadows as filled rectangles, allowing higher-timeframe candle structure to appear on a chart viewed at another interval. The body and shadow colors vary with candle direction, distinguishing the two directional states visually.

This is a visualization aid rather than a complete trading strategy. The description names two supporting indicator files required for installation, but does not explain the MA Rounding calculation, define entry or exit rules, or provide backtest results. Traders would need to evaluate how the display fits their own timeframe analysis and avoid treating the color scheme alone as evidence of a profitable signal.

Key ideas

  • The indicator displays higher-timeframe MA Rounding candles on the current chart.
  • It uses filled rectangles to depict candle bodies and shadows.
  • Colors change according to candle direction to make directional states visually distinct.
  • The description gives installation dependencies but no trading rules or performance evidence.
