OHLC Expansion Map Timeframes

The OHLC Expansion Map is built on the principle of market fractality. Institutional algorithmic price delivery follows the same behavioral patterns whether you are looking at a Yearly, Monthly, Daily, or 15-minute timeframe.

Multi-Timeframe

The indicator provides four dedicated timeframe slots (TF1 through TF4) that can be enabled and configured independently. This allows you to project Higher Timeframe (HTF) behavioral levels directly onto your trading timeframe.

Available Timeframe Inputs

You can select from any of the standard TradingView timeframes, including:

• 12M (Yearly)

• 3M / 1M (Quarterly / Monthly)

• 1W (Weekly)

• 1D (Daily)

• 240 / 60 (4-Hour / 1-Hour)

• 15 / 5 / 1 (Intraday minutes)

You are not limited to these defaults. You can manually type in any custom timeframe supported by TradingView (e.g., 2D, 3H, 90m, 2W) into the timeframe input field.

Common Configurations

• The Swing Trader: TF1: 1M | TF2: 1W | TF3: 1D

• The Day Trader: TF1: 1W | TF2: 1D | TF3: 4H | TF4: 1H

• The Scalper: TF1: 1D | TF2: 4H | TF3: 1H | TF4: 15m

Visual Abbreviation

To keep your chart clean while using all 4 TF slots, enable the "Abbreviate Labels" setting. This will change long labels like [1D] Distribution to shorter codes like [1D] +D, providing more room for price action analysis.
