# High Timeframe

REx analyzes market structure on a higher timeframe than your chart — this is what gives the indicator its multi-timeframe edge. This section controls which HTF REx uses and what supporting information is displayed on the chart.

## Auto HTF Mapping

When Auto HTF is enabled, REx automatically selects the higher timeframe based on your chart.
