KS H4 Synthetic Candle Pro

Product description

KS H4 Synthetic Candle Pro is a MetaTrader 5 indicator that constructs broker-independent synthetic 4-hour candles from pairs of fully closed H2 (2-hour) bars.
Core Idea

Instead of relying on the broker’s native H4 timeframe (which can shift depending on the server’s hour offset), the indicator:

Runs on an H2 chart.
Completely ignores the currently forming H2 bar (shift 0).
Takes the two most recently closed H2 bars and merges them into one synthetic 4H candle:
Open = Open of the older H2 bar
Close = Close of the newer H2 bar
High = Maximum of the two highs
Low = Minimum of the two lows
Repeats the process for older pairs to draw multiple synthetic candles.
Updates only when a new H2 bar closes, so the synthetic candle is never “live” or partially formed.

Because pairing is done purely by bar count (not by server clock), the resulting candle shape is identical regardless of the broker’s H4 alignment.
Visual Rendering

The synthetic candles are drawn with chart objects:

Filled rectangles for the body
Trend lines for the upper and lower wicks
Optional background mask that paints over the native H2 candles so only the synthetic ones are visible
Optional dashed marker lines for Open / Close / High / Low
Optional debug labels showing exact body start/mid/end times
