HTF Volume Spike & Imbalance Projection
HTF Volume Spike & Imbalance Projection is a practical MetaTrader 5 indicator designed to help traders visualize higher-timeframe candle behavior, volume spike activity, and projected imbalance areas directly on the chart.
Instead of only looking at standard candles, this indicator projects the selected higher-timeframe candle to the right side of the chart, making it easier to see how the current market structure is forming compared to the previous higher-timeframe candle.
The indicator uses lower-timeframe volume activity to detect volume spikes inside the higher-timeframe candle. These spikes are then plotted as clear visual markers, allowing traders to quickly identify where strong activity happened within the candle range.
It also includes a projected volume profile style view, showing where activity is concentrated across price levels. This helps traders review important price areas without switching between multiple timeframes.

How it works
The indicator uses a selected higher timeframe as the anchor candle. It then reads lower-timeframe candle data inside that higher-timeframe period to detect volume spikes.
When a volume spike is detected, the indicator plots it inside the projected HTF candle area. Bullish activity is shown using green markers, while bearish activity is shown using red markers.
The live projection updates as price changes, so the current higher-timeframe candle can be monitored while staying on the active chart timeframe.
