CandelaCharts - Killzone HTF Candles

📝 Overview

The Killzone HTF Candles indicator is a professional visual tool designed for ICT and SMC traders who prioritize session-based price action. It bridges the gap between Lower Timeframe (LTF) execution and Higher Timeframe (HTF) context by projecting session-specific data (Asia, London, New York) directly onto your chart as discrete candles.

This tool allows you to monitor the "Daily Narrative" by seeing how session ranges interact without ever leaving your execution timeframe, helping you identify liquidity sweeps and trend transitions at a glance.

📦 Features

• Multi-Session Tracking: Pre-configured with 8 primary Killzones: Asia (AS), London Open (LO), NY AM, NY Lunch (LA), NY PM, and 3 additional custom sessions.
• Dual Projection Logic:
  
  • Mapped to Chart: Overlays HTF boxes and wicks directly on the price action for historical study and zone identification.
  • Ghost Display: Projects the most recent sessions as a "Rolling Dashboard" on the right side of the chart, keeping your current price action clear.
• Dynamic Chronology: Ghost candles automatically rotate, ensuring the most recent session is always positioned on the far right.
• Premium Aesthetics: Built with glassmorphism design principles, featuring customizable body opacity, line widths, and font styles.
• Timezone Sync: Integrated timezone support (Default: America/New_York) ensures your sessions align perfectly with global markets.

The "Session Transfer" Logic



By using the Ghost Candles, you can quickly identify the relationship between different trading periods:

• AS Range: Often sets the initial consolidation or liquidity pool.
• LO Expansion: Typically creates the high or low of the day.
• NY AM Reversal: Often trades back into the LO or AS ranges to fill gaps or sweep liquidity.

Highly customizable, build your own custom killzones
