Daily Candle Overlay (MT5) — Visualize the Major Trend at a Glance
Daily Candle Overlay is a technical indicator for MetaTrader 5 designed to simplify multi-timeframe (MTF) analysis. It displays the current daily (D1) candle in real-time directly on your lower timeframe charts (M1, M5, M15, H1, etc.).
To prevent your charts from becoming cluttered or obstructing your indicators, the candle is drawn cleanly in the empty space to the right of the current price.
🔹 Why Use This Indicator?
In trading, keeping an eye on the higher-timeframe trend is essential to filter out false signals. This tool was developed with one specific goal in mind: to save you from constantly switching back and forth between your short-term charts and the daily chart.
By instantly visualizing whether the current day is bullish or bearish, you can easily align your short-term setups with the major market flow.
🔹 Key Features
-
Real-Time Updates: The body and wicks of the Daily candle adjust with every single tick to accurately reflect ongoing price action.
-
Non-Intrusive Layout: Positioned in the chart shift area, the indicator does not overlap or interfere with your historical price data.
-
Visual Customization: Easily customize the candle colors and dimensions to perfectly match your workspace theme.
-
Optimized Performance: Built to be extremely lightweight, ensuring it won't lag your platform, even during high-volatility news events.
🔹 Adjustable Settings
-
Bullish / Bearish Color: Customize the body and wick colors (compatible with both dark and light chart backgrounds).
-
Body Width: Adjust the horizontal width of the candle (measured in number of bars) for optimal visibility.
-
Right Offset: Determine how far to the right of the current price the candle should be displayed.
⚠️ Important Usage Note
For the candle to be visible to the right of the price, you must enable the "Chart Shift" option in MetaTrader 5 (Press Alt + O -> General tab -> check "Chart shift", or click the Chart Shift icon on your top toolbar).
