Bar Outlines

The Bar Outlines indicator will automatically draw bars from higher time frames onto lower time frames, allowing traders to analyse multiple levels of information at a glance. This indicator is intended to assist traders by allowing them to see different depths of the market on one single chart, as well as to improve the clarity of other indicators that mirror higher time frame data.


USAGE

Users can choose between several different time frames that they would like to have displayed on their lower time frame charts.

The colors of these bars are customizable, allowing users to distinguish between bullish and bearish bars, as well as making it easier to understand which time frame the bars are being mirrored from if they choose to mirror multiple time frames.

The mirrored bars also contain two sections. The main section is a solid section that represents the body of the higher time frame bar, and the secondary section is a border that represents the wick of the higher time frame bar, making it easier for the user to get all the information they need about the higher time frame bar at a glance.
