SSH Multi-Timeframe Signals with Chart-Based Timeframe Selection
Summary
SSH is described as an indicator that plots two lines from moving averages of candle highs and lows. Their crossing is treated as a potential buy or sell signal. The multi-timeframe version displays the indicator calculated on a higher timeframe within a lower-timeframe chart, allowing traders to view broader signals alongside finer price movement.
A chart panel lets users switch the higher timeframe without opening the indicator settings, and the available timeframe buttons adjust to avoid selecting lower intervals. The document also discusses implementing a reusable panel for other multi-timeframe indicators and mapping lower-chart bars to higher-timeframe candles. It favors a custom nearest-time lookup over the built-in bar-shift function, but gives no indicator formula, trading rules beyond line crosses, or evidence that the method improves results.
Key ideas
- SSH plots moving-average lines based on candle highs and lows.
- Crosses between the lines are treated as potential buy or sell signals.
- The multi-timeframe version displays a higher-timeframe indicator on a lower-timeframe chart.
- A chart panel enables timeframe selection and updates the available buttons.
- The document describes a custom method for matching lower-chart bars to higher-timeframe candles, without performance evidence.
