TraderHUD

TraderHUD — Complete Panel for Traders

TraderHUD is a complete visual indicator that brings together in a single file everything a trader needs to see on the chart: candle timer, real-time spread, customizable watermark, full hour mark with recorded price, and M5 candle start marker. Highly configurable, without cluttering the chart.

Features

Timer and Spread

• Countdown of remaining candle time, updated every 500ms — independent of new ticks
• Real-time spread displayed next to the timer
• Follows the price line on the chart
• Smart anchoring: when price approaches the bottom edge of the screen, the text automatically moves up to stay visible
• Font, size, color and separators fully configurable

Full Hour Mark

• Vertical line on the chart indicating the next full hour — a likely moment of new capital entering the market
• Label with the time displayed at the top of the line
• At the exact moment the hour turns, the price is automatically recorded
• Permanent horizontal line at the recorded price — allows comparison of where price was at each previous hour
• Price displayed in the label next to the time
• Configurable offset: advance or delay the mark by hours
• Configurable number of price lines in history (default: 3)
• Price lines persist even when changing timeframe or recompiling
• Color, style and width of lines are configurable

M5 Candle Start Marker

• Displayed automatically only on timeframes lower than M5 (M1, M2, M3, M4)
• Visually marks the start of each 5-minute candle — a moment of repositioning by algorithms and short-term traders
• Configurable symbol/text (default: ^)
• Three positioning modes: above candle high, fixed screen top, or at M5 candle open price
• Color, size and number of markers in history are configurable
• Allows signal confluence with the full hour mark

Watermark

• Displays symbol and timeframe in the center of the chart (e.g. EURUSD # H1)
• Free positioning with configurable horizontal and vertical offset
• Configurable rotation angle in degrees
• Can be dragged directly with the mouse when the option is enabled
