The SSH indicator is a well-known tool among traders, leveraging moving averages of high and low candle prices to create two distinct lines. When these lines cross, it signals a potential buy or sell opportunity.

One effective method of analyzing the market is by displaying higher time frames (TFs) within lower ones. The SSH Multi-TF indicator makes it easy to incorporate higher time frames into your lower TF charts.

What’s more, users can conveniently select their desired higher time frame from a small panel directly on the chart, eliminating the need to dive into the indicator settings every time. And as you change the time frame, the buttons for selecting TFs will automatically adjust, so you won’t see buttons for lower time frames when they’re not needed.

The code for this indicator includes a customizable panel that you can adapt for any indicator you wish to convert into a Multi-TF format. To do this, you’ll need to copy the panel's graphical functions and necessary components from the input and OnInit() functions. To determine the current TF candle index for a higher time frame, the built-in iBarShift function can be used, but I’ve found that my custom function, which identifies the candle index closest in time to the higher TF candle, works even better. This function is versatile and can come in handy for various purposes, and I highly recommend it over the standard built-in option.
