HTF Trend Identification

This indicator identifies higher timeframe (HTF) trends and plots them on the chart. It uses a fixed higher timeframe input and a selectable source to calculate the HTF value. The indicator also plots an EMA and colors the candles based on the HTF trend and EMA crossover.

**Features:**

* **HTF Trend Identification:** Calculates and plots a higher timeframe trend based on a user-defined source and fixed timeframe. This allows you to visualize the larger trend context on your current chart.
* **Repainting Option:** Provides a toggle to control whether the HTF calculation repaints. Disabling repainting ensures that past HTF signals remain fixed, but may introduce a slight lag. Enabling repainting provides more up-to-date signals, but can cause past signals to change.
* **Customizable Colors:** Allows users to set custom colors for uptrends and downtrends.
* **EMA Plot:** Includes an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) plot with a customizable length and offset. The EMA color changes based on the HTF trend.
* **Candle Coloring:** Colors the candles based on the HTF trend, providing a clear visual representation of the overall trend direction.
* **Alerts:** (This would require adding alert conditions to the code, which I can do if you'd like) Could be extended to include alerts for HTF trend changes or EMA crossovers.

**Inputs:**

* **Repainting:** On/Off toggle to control repainting of the HTF calculation.
* **Source:** Select the source for HTF calculations (e.g., close, open, high, low, etc.).
* **Fixed Higher Timeframe:** Set the higher timeframe for trend calculation (e.g., 1D, 4H, 1W). *Note: Timeframes smaller than the current chart's timeframe are not allowed.*
* **Up Color:** Color for uptrends.
* **Down Color:** Color for downtrends.
* **EMA Length 1:** Length of the EMA.
* **Offset:** Offset for the EMA plot.

**How to Use:**

1. Add the indicator to your chart.
2. Configure the inputs to your desired settings.
3. Observe the plotted HTF trend line, EMA, and candle colors to identify potential trading opportunities.

**Limitations:**

* **Repainting:** Enabling repainting can cause past HTF signals to change. Use with caution.
* **No Alerts (by default):** This version does not include alerts. However, this can be added if requested.
