KINFX HTF Candles

What is this tool?

KINFX HTF Candles is a free NinjaTrader 8 chart indicator that paints higher-timeframe (HTF) candles to the RIGHT of your current chart price action. You keep trading on a lower timeframe while seeing HTF structure in one view â similar in spirit to popular TradingView âÂÂHTF candles beside priceâ tools. Candles are drawn with OnRender (pixel-stable), wrapped in a bounding frame, with the timeframe label on top of the frame (2àfont). Default HTF is 15-minute.
