HTF Structure Lens for MetaTrader 5
Overview
HTF Structure Lens is a multi-timeframe market structure indicator for MetaTrader 5. It displays higher-timeframe candles in the right-side chart space, allowing traders to analyse multiple timeframes without switching away from their execution chart.
Configure up to six independent timeframe panels to monitor higher-timeframe price action, swing levels, Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), and equilibrium levels from a single chart.

How It Works
HTF Structure Lens retrieves OHLC data from selected timeframes and renders the corresponding candles in the chart's right-side space.
It then identifies structural swing levels, detects Fair Value Gaps, and displays equilibrium references to help traders assess price action across multiple timeframes.
Each timeframe slot can be configured independently, allowing the panel layout to match your analysis workflow.
Multi-Timeframe Structure Analysis
1. Higher-Timeframe Candles
Display selected timeframes alongside your active execution chart. Observe the broader price context without repeatedly changing chart periods.
2. Swing Highs and Swing Lows
Monitor detected structural highs and lows across the selected timeframes. These levels can provide reference points for analysing price swings and potential liquidity areas.
3. Fair Value Gaps
Display detected Fair Value Gaps to identify price areas that may be relevant to your price-action analysis.
4. Equilibrium and Premium/Discount
Use the 50% equilibrium level to assess price position within the relevant range. Premium and Discount references provide additional context for evaluating price location.
5. Candle Countdown and Timestamps
Optional timers show the remaining time for higher-timeframe candles, while timestamps help identify the corresponding candle periods.
Example Setups
Intraday trading
Keep M15 as your execution chart and display H1, H4, and D1 panels for additional context.
Scalping
Use M5 as your execution chart while monitoring M15, H1, H4, D1, and W1.
These are example configurations. Choose timeframes according to your strategy and trading horizon.

Important Notes
HTF Structure Lens is an analytical indicator. It does not execute trades or guarantee that identified swing levels, Fair Value Gaps, or equilibrium areas will influence future price movement.
Developing candles and structural levels may change as new price data becomes available. Use the indicator alongside your own analysis and appropriate risk management.
Analyse multiple timeframes. Keep your execution chart in focus.
