DrillDown Timeframe is a MetaTrader 5 utility that enables seamless navigation between higher and lower timeframes with visual area highlighting. Draw a rectangle on any timeframe and instantly drill down to see the same price region on a lower timeframe.
How it works:
- Set the Higher and Lower Timeframes in the indicator's variables (Example 1h / 15min)
- On the selected higher timeframe, press 'B' to create a draggable/resizable rectangle (Blue) in the visible chart area.
- Select (double click on the rectangle to select) and drag the rectangle to the required area
- Press 'D' to switch to the lower timeframe
- Press 'D' again (or click on 'Go to Region' button on the lower timeframe) to go to the same price region that is highlighted with an orange rectangle.
- Press 'R' to return to the higher timeframe. The rectangle can be moved and resized before drilling down.
- Press 'T' to toggle visibility of the rectangle (whether in the higher or lower timeframe)
- In the higher Timeframe, if you scroll back in history, just press 'B' to reset/display the Blue rectangle in the current area.
Key Features:
- Visual area selection - Draw a customizable rectangle on higher timeframe to mark your region of interest
