Multi-TimeFrame Candles Overlay for ThinkOrSwim

Modified the approach here to use charts to draw the side of candle bodies. Also accounted for days where upper aggregation did not start on 1st bar (i.e. barCount = 0) in series. As long as higher time frame is even divisible by lower (i.e. 5min Overlay on 1min chart) overlay seem to work fine. You get odd higher TF candles when this is not the case (i.e. 10m Overlay on 3m chart).

Updated code / shared link above for a better method of determining opening candle of lower timeframe/mid-point candle. Only issue I am aware of is when there are missing candles in the lower timeframe you end up with a skewed cloud that joins to the next cloud. Not sure there is a resolution for that but I'm open to suggestions.
 
Corrected an issue with the code that determined when new cloud would be triggered. Updated links/code for both overlays. Also added an input to control drawing of points at high/lows (I prefer them off so that is the default).

Resolved the issue with missing candles and skewed cloud on non "evenly divisible" intervals.
All it took was a little "mod"-ing. Pun intended. :rolleyes:
 
@tickets2themoon First of all, Thanks a bunch for the indicator. Appreciate your work. I may be pushing my luck but is it possible to have only inside candles to show. If it can be modified from settings whether to show only inside bar/ candle and cherry on the top would be to paint the small timeframe candles for bigger timeframe inside bar.
Please consider looking into this. Thanks in advance...

This has an input option to limit the overlay candles to just Inside Bars.

The picture is of 30m overlay inside bars only on a 1m chart

Yes, I added that option to the code below to paint those candles WHITE within MTF Inside Bars.

Yes, I added that option to the code below to paint those candles WHITE within MTF Inside Bars.

Amazing. Highly appreciate it mate.

You are welcome! I made one edit to the above as follows where I forgot to include the input into assignpricecolor

input Color_Candles_within_MTF_InsideBars = yes;
assignpriceColor(if Color_Candles_within_MTF_InsideBars and insidebar then color.white else color.current);
 
@SleepyZ Everything works perfectly except I am getting these lines like wicks and broken lines. You can see that in your image as well. I have tried inserting an image but it won't let me from imgur.

This is so dope! I don't suppose you or someone could make Previous Candle High/Low bubbles over the previous 5min candle for these like the ones here: https://usethinkscript.com/threads/previous-candle-high-low-labels-bubbles-for-thinkorswim.10422/

I made a variation of yours where you can change the color and more importantly transparency of the candles, 50% transparency helps a lot!
To change transparency/custom colors: Click on the Options gear, then open Globals (at the bottom), then click a color and choose 'More', then under the HSL tab you will find the transparency option. NOTE: When you change this ToS will go graphically bonkers (bug), just navigate through it (you can dip the screen below your windows toolbar to kind of reset the view), and once set and saved restart ToS to get rid of the funk.

This is so dope! I don't suppose you or someone could make Previous Candle High/Low bubbles for these like the ones here: https://usethinkscript.com/threads/add-chart-bubble-on-previous-candle.3831/post-75543

I made a variation of yours where you can change the color and more importantly transparency of the candles (see under Globals in options). 50% transparency helps a lot!

This is not exactly what you requested, but may help. The code below should be added to the bottom of your code. It plots bubbles for highs/lows of the overlay candles with an option to just show the last ones. There are 3 types of bubbles, one for green, red and white in the original code. I left them separated as is.
