MTF CandleLevels

5 июл. 2021 г.

In the spirit of freedom from oppression on this day of July 4th, 2021 in the United States, I hereby release this flagship indicator "MTF CandleLevels" into the wild for any subscribing TV member on the planet to utilize. It's now one my few great gifts to the souls of humankind within the realm of trading on TV. TradingView continues to bless Pine Script by releasing supplemental upgrades, enough for me to develop this indicator beyond it's experimental phase to full potential, as I had always wished to design it from theory. Educationally while using it, you will witness how OHLC/HA candles are actually formed for charts. I like to think of it as a candle formation microscope anyone can learn from.

It is intended for any style of trading or skill level from newcomer to advanced. There are no requirements/prerequisites for you use it. Which means you don't have to wear a mouth muzzle, get multiple doses of the life endangering FrankenJabs, subserviently bow down to authoritarian demands of obedience, or learn the ancient mystical art of deception "Fau Chi" in order to employ it's inherent power. A little sprinkle of satire helps with a dry technical read :). You have the absolute freedom to utilize it any way you see fit! That's right, it's even your choice whether you use it or not. The unshackled empowerment of choice always equates to FREEDOM. I can't program these precious gems without it...

One thing you will have noticed is it's specifically published on a Heikin Ashi(HA) chart, while having immunity to the Heikin Ashi candle charts unique open/close behavior. This has been believed to be an impossibility until now. For members who don't know, HA candle charts have a different `open` and `close` from the `open` and `close` of the other ordinary OHLC candle charts. Regardless of "CandleLevels Mode" chosen in Settings, the indicator will display identical on either bar chart type, excluding Renko, Line Break, Kagi, Point&Figure, and Range candle charts of course. It's abilities supersede the simpler "Multi-Time Period Charts" built-in TV indicator with a completely different architecture. For those of you extremely curious about how I accomplished this indicators level of code complexity, it was immensely difficult taking over a year of effort for this one functional unit, and I will leave it at that...

This novel MTF technology displays OHLC/HA support and resistance levels that mimic the functionality of larger duration candle formations in real time. Basically explained, while charting on a shorter duration timeframe candle chart, you can see open, high, low, and close levels fluctuate in the larger duration timeframe. This reduces the need to jump back and forth to view price action on different chart sampling intervals. You may even use multiple sets of CandleLevels indicators over a wide variety of chosen timeframe options, along with everything else in between.

The CandleLevels behavior is chosen within the indicator "Settings" using a selection mode of either the standard OHLC candlestick formations or Heikin Ashi candlestick formations. Each mode has a multitude of uses depending on the users trading style or timeframe.

Visbility of CandleLevels will ONLY occur when it is set to a larger duration timeframe interval than the current chart sampling rate. For example, you may be using the 5 minute interval sampling rate on the chart, yet you can easily see the open, high, low, close ranges with a chosen 120 minute timeframe setting. The multiple time frame(MTF) settings are highly adjustable having intervals of seconds, minutes, days, a multiple of the chart interval, or the common input(type=input.resolution) function provided by Pine.

CandleLevels come with multiple color schemes to reduce color interference with other indicators in the overlay pane, including the intended use of multiple sets of CandleLevels. My basic color scheme selections can be overridden to choose any imaginable color you desire for your visual acuity. Also, there are additional controls available to fine tune a visually pleasing appearance depending on your preferences and viewable area. One last new hidden fine tune capability, not only for this indicator but all TV indicators, is the agility to use up/down arrow keys on the keyboard when an indicator setting is in focus after mouse selection. For example, when choosing line thickness, you can modify values/options by key stroke. Try it out, I'm sure you will find this useful for any indictor for eternity.

NOTICE: There is only 500 line drawings available, in total to display, at this current release. This equates to 83 sets of CandleLevels maximum.

Features List Includes:
Candle type selection
MTF controls for seconds, minutes, days, multiple-of, and TV input
Multiple color schemes with color overrides
Color opacity selector

When available time provides itself, I will consider your inquiries, thoughts, and concepts presented below in the comments section, should you have any questions or comments regarding this indicator. When my indicators achieve more prevalent use by TV members, I may implement more ideas when they present themselves as worthy additions. Have a profitable future everyone!
