    The bigger candle, behind your chart

    Trading a small chart, it's easy to lose sight of the bigger one. Timeframe Master draws the candle one timeframe up right behind your bars. On a 5 minute chart that is the 1 hour candle, on a 1 hour chart the daily candle, on a daily chart the monthly candle. Auto picks it for you.

    Each bigger candle is built from your chart's own bars. Nothing is requested from another timeframe and nothing looks ahead.

    What you see

  1. The lantern. Each bigger candle is cut into rows from its low to its high. Every row glows by how many bars traded there, so the bright rows are where price spent its time.

  2. The core line. The busiest row gets a line. It's a record of that candle, not a level to trade from.

  3. The forming candle. The candle still in progress is drawn the same way, inside a dashed outline that runs out to where it is due to close.

  4. The panel. Plain words: how this bigger candle is moving and how long it has left, where price sits in it, its core, and how the last one closed.

  5. Alerts. A new bigger candle opened, and price crossing back above or below its open.

    6. Make it yours

    Pick Mint and Pink, Ice, Neon or your own colours, set the brightness, or switch the lantern off for a quieter look. You can also choose the bigger timeframe yourself, from 5 minutes to 1 month.

    Get it free

    Timeframe Master is free for everyone, no membership needed. Add it on TradingView, or see it with the rest of our free and premium indicators.
