Pipnotic HTF Bars

前天

Description:

Pipnotic HTF Bars projects higher-timeframe (HTF) candles to the right of current price so you can “peek ahead” with clean, fixed-width silhouettes. The latest HTF bar updates live until it closes; completed HTF bars are frozen and kept in a tidy row to the right. Bodies inherit up/down colours, wicks sit on the body edge (no line through the body), and transparency/borders are configurable for a lightweight, elegant overlay.

How It Works:

• The script reads true HTF opens via

  request.security

  and detects new HTF boundaries precisely.
  
• Completed HTF bars are captured with look ahead off and stored; they never repaint.
  
• The current HTF bar uses look ahead on and updates tick-by-tick until the next HTF bar begins.
  
• Each candle is drawn as a fixed bar-index width box and wick, anchored a set number of bars to the right of the chart, then spaced evenly.
  

Visualization and Management:

• Candles are rendered as boxes (bodies) plus edge-wicks (coloured to match the body).
  
• You choose how many completed HTF candles to keep visible; older ones are automatically pruned.
  
• Width, spacing, transparency, and borders make the projection readable without cluttering price.
  
• Designed to stay performant and within TradingView’s shape limits.
  

Key Features & Inputs:

• Higher Timeframe (HTF): W, D, 240, 120, 60, 30, 15.
  
• Live Current Bar: The most recent HTF candle updates until it closes (no duplicate static bar).
  
• Number of Candles: Keep the last N completed HTF candles to the right.
  

Fixed Projection Geometry:

• Projected width (bars): set a constant visual width per candle.
  
• Gap (bars): spacing between projected candles.
  
• Right shift: anchor the projection a fixed distance beyond the latest bar.
  
• Styling: Up/Down colours, body transparency, optional borders, wicks coloured same as body and drawn from body edge → high/low (never through the body).
  
• Overlay: Works on any symbol and chart timeframe.
  

Enhanced Visualization:

• Edge-wicks align visually with the close side of the body, producing a crisp, unobstructed read of range (H–L) and direction (O→C).
  
• Fixed widths and even spacing create a timeline-like panel to the right of price, ideal for multi-timeframe context without compressing your main chart.
  
• Transparency lets you “ghost” the projection so LTF price action remains visible beneath.
  

Benefits of Using the Pipnotic HTF Script:

• Instant HTF context without switching charts or compressing the main view.
  
• Non-repainting history: Completed HTF candles are locked the moment a new one starts.
  
• Cleaner decision surface: Edge-wicks and soft transparency reduce visual noise.
  
• Time-saving workflow: Scan upcoming HTF structure at a glance (range, bias, progress).
  
• Configurable & lightweight: Tune width, spacing, and count to fit any layout.
  

Tip: Using the daily HTF on an hourly or less timeframe and watching as price tests the open of the current day, especially if prices e.g. traded below the open, can provide some great trades as prices move above and retest the open.
