CajasTF – Integrated Multi-Timeframe Side Panel for MT5

Indicators MetaTrader 5 Free

CajasTF is a lightweight MT5 indicator that displays a real-time mini-chart in a right-side panel, allowing you to monitor any timeframe (M1 to MN1) on a single screen. It automatically matches your chart’s color palette, features an independent price scale, candle countdown timer, live OHLC metrics, and auto-shift margin so your active trading candles are never hidden.

Example

CajasTF is a lightweight, visual indicator for MetaTrader 5 that renders a secondary mini-chart directly on the right side of your main chart, allowing you to monitor real-time price action across any higher or lower timeframe without switching tabs or opening additional windows.

Engineered with native visual integration, the panel automatically inherits your chart’s existing color palette (background, bullish/bearish candles, wicks, dojis, and Bid line), delivering a clean, modern, and uncluttered trading workspace.

Key Features

  1. Instant Multi-Timeframe (MTF) View:

    • Select any timeframe (from M1 up to MN1) and view the last N candles of that period directly on your working chart.
    • The active candle updates tick-by-tick in real-time as it forms.

  2. Smart Palette & Automatic Color Matching:

    • Detects and adapts instantly to your chart template: background, grid, labels, candle bodies, and wick outlines. If you switch themes (light/dark mode), the panel updates seamlessly.

  3. Independent Price Scale:

    • Features its own dedicated vertical scale with a 5-level grid, ensuring the mini-chart proportions remain optimal regardless of the zoom level on your main chart.

  4. Intelligent Chart Auto-Shift:

    • Automatically adjusts the right margin (chart shift) so the panel never covers active price action. When the indicator is removed, your original shift settings are automatically restored.

  5. Real-Time Market Data & Metrics:

    • Bar Countdown Timer: Accurate timer showing the time remaining until the active candle closes.
    • Current Price Line: Live visual Bid price marker projected onto the panel’s scale.
    • OHLC Data Footer: Live Open, High, Low, Close metrics and current candle percentage change (% gain/loss).
