Thank you for your detailed observation regarding the indicator behaviour on the 1-hour (1H) chart.
What you've noticed is a common characteristic of many technical indicators: they rely on closed candle data to confirm signals. This means the indicator waits for the current 1H candle to close before updating its output. As a result, the indicator may still reflect the prior trend or condition during the candle formation, potentially giving a misleading impression if price action during the current hour is volatile or counter-trend.
This isn't due to a flaw or delay in the indicator's logic but rather the way indicators are designed to avoid false signals from incomplete data. If an indicator reacted to every intra-candle movement, it could create excessive noise and lead to unreliable entries or exits.
That said, to improve responsiveness, you might consider:
Using indicators on a lower timeframe (e.g., 15m or 30m) for earlier signal confirmation while aligning with the higher 1H trend.
Combining the indicator with real-time price action or volume analysis.
Exploring indicators with built-in smoothing logic or predictive elements, such as the DiNapoli Stochastic Curve Check or Hull Moving Average, offer quicker signal responsiveness.
