Keep a Second Timeframe in View Without Opening Another Chart
Multi Candles keeps NinjaTrader 8 multi timeframe candles beside the chart you are actively trading. For example, a 30-minute candle can sit beside a 5-minute chart. Conversely, a 5-minute candle group can sit beside a 30-minute chart. Then choose the minute count and keep that second candle view in the same workspace.
Additionally, choose how many completed candles to display, place the group where it works for your workspace, and keep the current candle building in view. That way, Multi Candles stays dedicated to this separate candle display. Instead, it does not draw a Multi Bars-style overlay across the primary chart.
One chart, another candle view
For example, this Multi Bars Plus reference shows the right-side arrangement: 30-minute candles beside a 5-minute chart. Likewise, Multi Candles is built around that separate candle group, with your chosen minute count, candle count, placement, and optional readouts.
Choose the minute count for each candle group.
Choose how many completed candles stay visible.
Anchor the group at the far right or follow the chart bars.
Use separate offsets when you run more than one instance.
Four candle views on one chart: the 5-minute primary bars are followed by separate 1-minute, 15-minute, and 30-minute Multi Candles groups. Each group shows its own ATR, time remaining, current-bar delta, and previous-bar delta above it.
Choose minutes
Build a candle group from the minute count that fits the context you want.
Place it your way
Anchor at the far right or let the group follow the visible chart bars.
Read the live candle
Show completed, developing, and live price-side delta when you want it.
Run more than one
Give each instance its own offset, width, spacing, and vertical position.
Set up the candle view your chart is missing
One chart, several minute views
Run more than one Multi Candles instance when one extra view is not enough. For example, a 1-minute, 15-minute, and 30-minute group can sit beside the same active chart, each with its own offset, width, spacing, and vertical position.
Create a separate instance for each minute view.
Apply vertical offsets to keep groups from overlapping.
Keep far-right placement when you want the context anchored.
A dedicated right-side display
Multi Candles keeps its job on the separate candle group beside the chart. Instead, it does not draw bars over your primary chart. If you also want a primary-chart candle overlay, Multi Bars is the tool built for that job.
Keep the primary chart bars visible and unchanged.
Use the side group for the minute context you choose.
Add optional ATR, timer, and delta readouts.
Readouts when you want more than price
ATR and timer
Show per-candle ATR plus a countdown timer for the current synthetic candle.
Completed and developing delta
Display delta for the last completed candle and the candle currently building.
Price-side delta
Show live developing delta next to current price at the live edge.
Fast sizing on the chart
Multi Candles supports direct mouse-wheel sizing when the cursor is over that instance’s rendered candle group. Then use Ctrl + Shift + mouse wheel to adjust candle width, or Alt + Shift + mouse wheel to adjust candle spacing. Meanwhile, width and spacing are clamped to practical values so the display stays usable.

Why traders use it
Without Multi Candles
Open another chart just to keep a second minute view in sight.
Give up screen space and juggle several charts for a few candle groups.
Lose developing-candle and delta context beside the chart you actually trade.
With Multi Candles
Keep the minute-candle group you choose beside the chart you already use.
Run multiple instances for several minute views, each placed where you want.
Read ATR, a countdown timer, and completed, developing, and price-side delta at a glance.
What does Multi Candles do?
It builds synthetic candles from the minute count you choose and displays them beside your NinjaTrader 8 chart, with optional ATR, countdown timer, completed delta, developing delta, and price-side delta.
Does the second candle view have to be a higher timeframe?
No. Choose the minute count that gives you the context you want, such as a 30-minute group beside a 5-minute chart or a 5-minute group beside a 30-minute chart.
How is it different from Multi Bars?
Multi Bars can draw bars over the primary chart. Multi Candles focuses on the separate right-side candle group and does not draw that primary-chart overlay.
Can I run more than one instance?
Yes. Use separate offsets and spacing so each candle group has its own location beside the chart.
Does it show delta?
Yes. It can show delta for the last completed synthetic candle, the current developing candle, and the live price-side delta next to current price.
Can the candles stay pinned to the right side?
Yes. Far-right placement is the default, and the toolbar menu includes a Show FarRight toggle.
Requirements: Windows and NinjaTrader 8.1.2.1 or later.
