HTF Candle Profile [ChartPrime]

⯁ OVERVIEW
The HTF Candle Profile [ChartPrime] visualizes higher-timeframe candle structure and its internal volume distribution directly on lower-timeframe charts. It automatically detects changes in higher-timeframe periods (daily, weekly, or monthly) and constructs a complete volume profile for each, allowing traders to see how volume is distributed across the range of that higher-timeframe candle. This helps identify whether momentum is supported by real volume strength or trapped price movement.

⯁ LOGIC

• When a new higher-timeframe candle begins, the indicator starts collecting data for its open, high, low, close, and volume range.
  
• Once sufficient bars have passed (defined by the Min Period Profile input), it calculates a full profile using adaptive bin sizing derived from the range (High–Low) and ATR for scaling precision.
  
• The resulting bins represent the volume concentration at each price level of that higher-timeframe candle.
  
• A Point of Control (PoC) is highlighted — the level where the most volume occurred.
  
• The indicator then draws the higher-timeframe candle body and wicks at the chart’s right side, giving visual context of bullish or bearish sentiment.
