Using the Previous Candle’s High and Low Across Timeframes

Summary

This note describes a chart indicator that displays the previous candle’s high and low relative to the current price. It is designed for multi-timeframe use, so a trader can view levels from another timeframe while examining the current chart. The indicator’s line style and color can be adjusted, with a dotted line given as the default style.

The document offers a basic visual reference for comparing current price with recent candle boundaries. It does not explain how to interpret those levels as support, resistance, or trade signals, and it provides no testing, performance evidence, or rules for entering and exiting positions. Its value is therefore limited to chart context; traders would need to define and evaluate any trading use themselves.

Key ideas

• The indicator displays the prior candle’s high and low in relation to the current price.
• It can be placed on any chart timeframe and uses multi-timeframe data.
• Line style and color are configurable, with dotted lines as the stated default.
• The note gives no tested trading rules or evidence that these levels predict price moves.
