The Higher Timeframe Indicator (Trend Indicators) allows you to display moving averages, Parabolic SAR, and Bollinger Bands from the same or higher timeframes as the applied chart. By eliminating the need to switch between timeframes, it is particularly useful for observing long-term technical indicators to gauge market trends before making entry decisions on shorter timeframes.

For example, by displaying the daily 20 SMA on a 1-hour chart, you can grasp the broader market trend and look for rebound or breakout opportunities. Utilizing the Higher Timeframe Indicator (Trend Indicators) helps you gain valuable insights for more precise entry points.
You can apply the indicator settings above by downloading the settings file from the button below and importing it.
DownloadBy referencing technical indicators from higher timeframes, you can evaluate how long a trend may continue or whether a reversal is likely. For example, if Bollinger Bands start expanding, it could indicate a strengthening trend. Similarly, if the Parabolic SAR reverses, it may signal a potential trend change. This approach enables a more comprehensive evaluation of market conditions.
One way to use this indicator is to avoid unnecessary risks by refraining from trading when higher timeframe technical indicators show a trend direction different from the current chart’s timeframe.
The appeal of the Higher Timeframe Indicator lies in its ability to directly display multiple technical indicators calculated from higher timeframes on your current chart. It reduces the hassle of switching between multiple timeframes, allowing you to easily grasp long-term trends at a glance while searching for entry points.
