Hello,


Is there someway to identify 4H candle closes on a 15M chart that is not too obtrusive ?


Thank You

You may use this indicator (attached). It is the way to understand when MTF indicators may re-paint the past and why.

Besides we have two good threads about the candles:

- support/resistance for candles: original thread with discussion and some indicators.

- everything about candles, inside candles and custom candles: indicators.

NewDigital,


Thank you, you are consistently helpful.

Do you run a 4H chart somewhere in the back ground or don't you have one open?

I made myself a "Voice" that tells me 2m before the candle closes......."4 hours up"

Let me know.

I opened M15 chart and atach indicator setted for H4 (240).
But I had H4 chart opened already. I don't know it is important or not ...

Yes, I have the same indicator, but I just prefer to use the Grid-indicator for less hassles.

However, for this voice idea, you need to have a dedicated 4H chart. I will gladly share my "home-made" indicator with you.

I have coded up this indicator for you, it appears to run alright as i have had it working today and everything seems to update as it should, you have several options as per the screenshots.

1/ Simple display in standard Comments or Colored Text

2/ A full display in Standard Comments or Colored Text

3/The Colored Text can be placed anywhere on the chart and the Text size can also be altered

CJA,

Sorry I missed your post way back when.....I still wanted to thank for helping all of us here.

Hi, cja ... excellent candle countdown timer! Thanks for developing/sharing.

Do you have (or do you know of) a similar indicator that takes the full candle time from the time period at which the chart is set .... i.e. a countdown timer that counts down from 15 minutes on a 15M chart, from 1 hour on an H1 chart, from 4 hours on an H4 chart, etc.?

Regards, Richard.
