CCT - Candle Continuation Theory
A visual tool for tracking Higher Timeframe (HTF) candle structure and virgin level breaks.

Features:
Side Panel HTF Candles

• Displays HTF candles (default: 1H) in a compact panel to the right of your chart
  
• Shows the last 5 completed HTF candles plus the current developing candle
  
• Real-time countdown timer shows time remaining in current HTF bar
  

Virgin Level Detection

• Automatically identifies "virgin" highs and lows from HTF candles
  
• A level remains virgin until price touches it
  
• When a candle CLOSES beyond a virgin level, it's marked as "broken"
  
• Blue lines = broken virgin highs | Red lines = broken virgin lows
  
• Note: Only levels from candles currently in the Side Panel are tracked - as older candles scroll out, their levels are no longer displayed
  

Dual Display

• Broken levels shown on both the Side Panel and Main Chart
  
• Lines stop 1 candle after the breaking candle (or extend with option)
  

Customization

• Configurable HTF timeframe
  
• Line style (Solid/Dashed/Dotted) and thickness
  
• Full color control for Side Panel candles and broken levels
  
• Toggle visibility for all elements
  

Use Case: Identify when price breaks through untested HTF levels - these breaks often lead to continuation or provide key areas for pullback entries.

Added "Active Level" option to extend broken lines by 1 HTF bar. Helps visualize the level during the candle immediately following the break.

Added Unconfirmed levels - "Developing Line Style" option (default: Dotted) when HTF bar is not closed yet.

Also changed some default settings.

Persistent Golden Hour & Entry Refinements
This major update enhances the backtesting and replay capabilities of the indicator, along with providing more flexible entry management options.

Key Features:
Persistent Golden Hour: The vertical lines framing the "Golden Hour" (after the break of a virgin level) and the associated setups (Gaps, Entry Lines, Stop Loss Labels) now remain permanently visible on the chart by default. This allows for effective historical analysis and backtesting of past setups.
Stop Loss Basis Options: You can now choose how the Stop Loss size is calculated via the new "Stop Loss Basis" input:
- Fractal (Default): Calculates stop size based on the nearest 3-bar fractal High/Low.
- Gap High/Low: Calculates a tighter stop based on the High (for Shorts) or Low (for Longs) of the Gap itself.
Entry Model Visuals:
Simplified label format to +SL / -SL.
Added dedicated color inputs for "Bearish Gap (For Buys)" and "Bullish Gap (For Sells)" with adjustable transparency.
