HTF Candle Consistency [LuxAlgo]The HTF Candle Consistency indicator tracks the most recent candle sentiment in up to 10 Higher Timeframe (HTF) and colors the user chart candle bodies based on the dominating sentiment. Users can weigh specific timeframes more significantly.
Additionally, the script provides an HTF dashboard that displays the current directional readouts for each selected timeframe to allow for an independent HTF analysis.
🔶 USAGE
Analyzing the movement and direction of higher timeframe candles can help filter out noisy variation from the price, and could be utilized to time trades better. When the majority of recent candles from the selected timeframes are bullish, the candle body will be colored in green, if this majority is bearish it will be colored in red.
Using the "Tricolor" coloring mode introduces a third coloring option, and is used when there isn't a clear sentiment majority across the selected timeframes, this option effectively allows for filtering out unwanted trends.
Users can control the variations to be filtered out depending on their chart timeframe and the enabled HTF's in the settings. Using low timeframes with higher HTF's will gray out a larger amount of candles, disabling these timeframes, changing them, or giving higher weighting to lower HTF's will allow for obtaining more dominance detection, and as such less grayed-out candles.
As seen above, the weight function allows for precise control over the specific elements being analyzed.
This indicator also features a dashboard for viewing each timeframe's direction at the same time. By doing so, it allows for better judgment on the specific elements composing the current HTF majority.
🔶 DETAILS
This indicator is only intended for Higher Timeframe Analysis, all the input timeframes should be kept equal to or lower than your current chart timeframe.
NOTE: This is necessary for data accuracy in most multi-timeframe indicators, and is generally a good practice to keep in mind.
As a reminder, the dashboard will display the timeframe in red text if a lower timeframe is detected. It is recommended to change or disable this timeframe for your analysis.
This indicator can support up to 10 timeframes, each with independent weightings.
NOTE: When a timeframe is disabled, the dashboard will no longer display that timeframe, and it will not be used in calculations.
🔹 Candle Coloring
Candle color can be selected between 3 modes.
Tricolor (Default): Changes the color based on a 3-part split of the possible data sum range.
Bicolor: Changes the color based on the sum being greater than or less than 0.
Gradient: Uses a 3-color gradient to determine the candle color based on the possible data sum range.

RGB Color FiddlerKEEP YOUR COINS FOLKS! I DON'T NEED THEM, DON'T WANT THEM. Many other talented authors on TV deserve them.
INTRODUCTION:
This is my "RGB Color Fiddler", intended as a toy to play with. This colorcator is rated 'E' for every TV member. With this you can quickly generate about 1.67 million potential colors from color.rgb(). While I have a few preferred colors that are ideal for use, this allows you to finely tune colors to anything that pleases your eye on your canvas.
TIPS:
The overlay chart can be peppered with colors of all varieties, so it's necessary to have properly distinguished coloring and contrast separation. If you employ light charts, you can tweak colors to just the right shade you desire on your display. Not all LCDs are created equal, even when color calibrated. With specific discovered colors tailored to your liking, you may uniquely color code ALL of your indicators.
UTILITY:
The input()s in Settings allow up to 4 different colors to tinker with and compare. After selecting focus of an input, you can easily use the up/down keyboard keys to make swift adjustments numerically or with options. The color combos you are creating will be displayed in color hex or a RGB representation within the labels.
Also of great benefit, is the ability to cycle through the currently available plot() styles. Some styles will require you to zoom in closeup to observe their behaviors. There is a few other ways to finagle plot() parameters to also achieve other acrobatic effects that are not demonstrated here. Closer study of plot() parameters in the reference can reveal those. Anyhow, I won't bother you with more elaborate technical jargon, now is the time to fiddle with this toy to your benefit!
CODE REUSE:
Any member has the freedom to use any of the code in this script any way they see fit. It's specifically intended for all. There is absolutely no need for accreditation for any of this code reuse ever, in the present case. Don't worry about, I'm certainly not.
When available time provides itself, I will consider your inquiries, thoughts, and concepts presented below in the comments section, should you have any questions or comments regarding this indicator. When my indicators achieve more prevalent use by TV members , I may implement more ideas when they present themselves as worthy additions. Have a profitable future everyone!
Weekly Color OverlayThis script facilitates visualization of week-of-the-month breaks with Sunday highlighting the beginning of a new week. Code breaks at the monthly time-period and since I don't ever look at that time period i'm not inclined to fix it unless someone sends me a 'push' via message.
B3 HL2 Method Candle PainterThis script is similar to the "Hi-Lo" or "Clear" methods of painting bars. Instead of using the tips/edges of the candles like those two, the "(H+L)/2" method uses the change in (high+low)/2 to paint the bars. This gives you some similar results if you were to be binary with the candle coloring. However, my coloring scheme is not entirely binary. There are 5 possible colors:
HL2>LastHigh = Bright Green
HL2LastHL2 = Dull Green
HL2<LastHL2 = Dull Red
Bar Change (close - open) is going against the indicator = Gray
