This two-minute walkthrough shows how HTF Candle Architecture places up to three higher-timeframe candles on the chart you already use. It covers the live candle layers, OHLC projections, Range Position gauge, Alignment row and confirmed level-touch markers without treating any visual read as a forecast.

Key takeaways
- Auto timeframes select a ladder above the chart timeframe. The nearest candle layer is the most opaque, while deeper layers fade progressively so all three can remain visible together.
- Live bodies, wicks and High, Low, Open and Close projections update as each higher-timeframe candle forms. Those developing visuals remain provisional until that candle closes.
- Range Position reports where price currently sits inside each higher-timeframe candle. The Alignment row summarizes whether the active candle directions agree or are mixed; neither read is a probability, backtest result or prediction.
- Level-touch markers are evaluated after the chart bar closes. A zone-entry check avoids repeating a marker on every bar that remains near a level, while a per-period gate limits each level to one marker per higher-timeframe candle. These are structural notices, not buy or sell calls.
