How to Use:

Follow these simple steps to get started:

1. Attach the indicator to your chart (intraday works best).
2. Select the Replay Date using the input panel.
3. The indicator will display a red "Main Zone" on your chart.
4. A green "Replay Zone" will show historical candles aligned to the current position.
5. Hover over the replay bars to view candle details.

What's Inside the Zones?

• The first candle in the Main Zone corresponds to the first candle from your selected Replay Date.
• The current live candle aligns with the last candle of the green Replay Zone.
• This setup allows you to easily analyze:

1. "How did the market perform at this position last time?"
2. "Are we seeing a similar pattern unfold?"

What's Around My Current Candlestick?

• The current candlestick in the red Main Zone matches the last candle in the green Replay Zone, precisely aligned by time and open price.
• The first candle on the left of the Main Zone corresponds to the first candle of the Replay Zone (from the selected date).
• The last (current) candle of the Main Zone matches the last candle from the Replay Zone, making for a seamless comparison.
• This helps you answer:

1. "What did price do next the last time we were at this level and time of day?"

Notes and Limitations:

• Zone Range: Large replay ranges may slow down performance on low-end devices.
• No Wicks: Only candle bodies are displayed; upper and lower shadows are omitted.
• No Buffers: This indicator uses only chart objects (rectangles), not indicator buffers.
• Redraws on New Bar: The full replay zone is re-rendered with each new tick, which may affect performance.
• Market Closed on Replay Date: If the market was closed on the selected date, no candles will appear.
• Replay Offset Risk: If some bars are missing on the replay date, the green replay zone may misalign, affecting the current candle's open price.
• Only Intraday Timeframes Supported: This tool is specifically designed for intraday use (below daily timeframe).
