DrillDown Timeframe

DrillDown Timeframe

DrillDown Timeframe is a MetaTrader 5 utility that enables seamless navigation between higher and lower timeframes with visual area highlighting. Draw a rectangle on any timeframe and instantly drill down to see the same price region on a lower timeframe.

How it works:

1. Set the Higher and Lower Timeframes in the indicator's variables (Example 1h / 15min)
2. On the selected higher timeframe, press 'B' to create a draggable/resizable rectangle (Blue) in the visible chart area. 
3. Select (double click on the rectangle to select) and drag the rectangle to the required area
4. Press 'D' to switch to the lower timeframe
5. Press 'D' again (or click on 'Go to Region' button on the lower timeframe) to go to the same price region that is highlighted with an orange rectangle. 
6. Press 'R' to return to the higher timeframe. The rectangle can be moved and resized before drilling down.
7. Press 'T' to toggle visibility of the rectangle (whether in the higher or lower timeframe)
8. In the higher Timeframe, if you scroll back in history, just press 'B' to reset/display the Blue rectangle in the current area.

Key Features:
