# MTFBoxes

#### Description <a href="#description_121" id="description_121"></a>

What MTFBoxes does is to draw a colored area behind the bars that signify a candle from a higher timeframe. This therefore makes it possible to depict an hourly candle inside a 5-minute chart. The area would contain all 5-minute bars that are located within said hourly candle.

The area turns greener if the candle of the higher timeframe is rising. A Doji would be shown in grey.

#### Parameters <a href="#parameters_103" id="parameters_103"></a>

TimeFrame Timeframe of the “virtual” candle (second, minute, hour, day, week, month) TimeFrameValue Value of the timeframe (number)

#### Visualization <a href="#visualization_110" id="visualization_110"></a>
