Strategy:
1) Trend filtering
The AW Candle Time indicator is a multi-timeframe timer until the end of a candle with a built-in trend indicator. We have built in the AW Supertrend indicator in order to display not only the time until the end of the candle on a certain timeframe, but also the direction of the trend in a multi-timeframe form.
2) The direction of the candles is bullish / bearish
The indicator has a built-in function for repainting text labels depending on the direction of the candle on different timeframes. That is, one label color for bullish candles and another for bearish ones. Thus, the indicator can show the direction of the candles of other timeframes.
3) No filtration
Basically, the indicator was created exactly as a timer for the time until the end of the candle and can, if necessary, use only this minimal functionality. If there is no need for a multi-timeframe display of the trend or server time, then change it in the input settings.
4) Changing the timeframe
In addition, to display the upper and lower text labels, the ability to select a timeframe from M1 to MN1 is built in.
Changing the timeframe when displaying the upper and lower text labels is available for all work options: without filtering, with trend filtering, and with filtering by candlestick direction. Thus, it is possible to run the indicator on M30 and run multi-timeframe elements, for example, on H4 and D1, in order to use trend direction filtering from these timeframes by defining entry points on M30.
