Higher Timeframe Bias Filter

Trade in the direction of the higher timeframe with confidence.

HTF Bias Filter is a non-repainting higher timeframe bias indicator that projects EMA-based trend direction from any higher timeframe (H1, H4, D1, etc.) onto your lower timeframe chart.

It helps traders filter bad trades, stay aligned with the dominant trend, and improve consistency.

🔹 What Problem It Solves

Many traders lose money by trading against the higher timeframe trend.

This indicator solves that problem by clearly showing whether the higher timeframe bias is bullish or bearish, directly on your trading chart.

🔹 Key Features

• ✅ Non-repainting (bias updates only on HTF candle close)

• ✅ Works on any chart timeframe

• ✅ User-selectable higher timeframe (H1, H4, D1, etc.)

• ✅ Clear bullish / bearish bias coloring

• ✅ Step mode (strict HTF logic)

• ✅ Optional smooth visualization mode

• ✅ Channel expansion for better visibility

• ✅ Bias text displayed on chart (configurable position)

• ✅ Alerts on higher timeframe bias change

• ✅ Lightweight, fast, and stable

🔹 How to Use (VERY IMPORTANT)

This indicator is a bias filter, not an entry signal.

Recommended usage:

• Trade only buys when the bias is bullish

• Trade only sells when the bias is bearish

• Combine with your own entry strategy (price action, structure, sessions, etc.)

🔹 Example Setup

Example:

• Chart timeframe: M15

• Higher timeframe: H1

• If H1 bias is bullish → look only for buy setups on M15
