  int Higher_Timeframe=PERIOD_H4;
  datetime higher_time=iTime(Symbol(),Higher_Timeframe,0);
  int shift=iBarShift(Symbol(),0,higher_time);
  Comment("Candle is number "+(string)(shift+1));

This should give you a start

Note that if there is not a candle that has the same open time as the higher time-frame. it may be out by 1
