Repaints MTF CandleSticks of Symbol in Lower For ThinkOrSwim

[dart966]

Note this indicator will REPAINT due to the nature of getting data from a higher time-frame. Repaints until the selected aggregation's time period ends.

MTF Symbol in Lower (default symbol = VIX and default Chart Type = Candlesticks):

# MTF_Symbol_CandleSticks_Lower
# by dart966 on 06.07.2025

declare lower;

input customSymbol = "VIX"; # User-defined symbol
input aggregationPeriod = AggregationPeriod.FIVE_MIN;
input charttype = ChartType.CANDLE;

# Retrieve OHLC data for the input symbol
def customOpen = open(symbol = customSymbol, period = aggregationPeriod);
def customHigh = high(symbol = customSymbol, period = aggregationPeriod);
def customLow = low(symbol = customSymbol, period = aggregationPeriod);
def customClose = close(symbol = customSymbol, period = aggregationPeriod);

# Create candlesticks

# Candle/Bar trend direction logic
def UpCandle = customClose > customOpen;
def DnCandle = customClose < customOpen;
def doji = customClose == customOpen;

# GlobalColor Colors

DefineGlobalColor("UpCandle", Color.GREEN);
DefineGlobalColor("DnCandle", Color.RED);
DefineGlobalColor("Doji", Color.WHITE);

# Paint Candles using separate AddChart() function calls

AddChart(high = if UpCandle then customLow else Double.NaN, low = customHigh, open = customClose,  close = customOpen, type = ChartType.CANDLE, growcolor = GlobalColor("UpCandle"));

AddChart(high = if DnCandle then customHigh else Double.NaN, low = customLow, open = customOpen,  close = customClose, type = ChartType.CANDLE, growcolor = GlobalColor("DnCandle"));

AddChart(high = if doji then customHigh else Double.NaN, low = customLow, open = customOpen,  close = customClose, type = ChartType.CANDLE, growcolor = GlobalColor("Doji"));

interesting use of addchart()

here is one of mine , and 10 pages of similar studies

i added this to your code , to display the symbol and agg time

addlabel(1, customSymbol, color.cyan);

#def agg2 = GetAggregationPeriod();
def agg2min =  aggregationPeriod / 60000;
AddLabel(yes, "AGG " + if agg2min < 60 then (agg2min + " m")
              else if agg2min < 1440 then ((agg2min / 60) + " H")
              else if agg2min < 10080 then (agg2min / (60 * 24) + " D")
              else if aggregationPeriod == AggregationPeriod.WEEK then "W"
              else if aggregationPeriod == AggregationPeriod.MONTH then "M"
              else "", Color.CYAN);
