Daily Levels:

Description

Markets respect memory. The previous day’s high, low, open, and close often serve as magnets, barriers, or pivot zones—because that’s where liquidity and trader attention cluster. The Daily Levels Tracker helps you stay anchored to that context by automatically plotting key session levels from today, yesterday, or even the prior week.

Whether you’re trading breakouts, fade setups, or mean reversion, these levels give you a sense of structure and expectation. You can also define the Initial Balance window (IB)—a critical time-based range used by many professionals to anticipate directional bias and breakout behavior.

Tip: Price failing to hold outside the IB after an initial breakout often signals a trap. Watch how it re-enters—are we rotating to the other side, or compressing for another push?

Custom Display Settings

Initial Balance (IB) Settings
Define the first range of the day that sets the tone for many traders:

• Start Time / End Time: Choose the time window to define the Initial Balance
• IB Color: Fill color for the range within this time period
• Other Color: Fill color for areas outside the IB window
• Background Type:
  • Full: Covers the entire chart background
  • Region: Covers just the IB range
  • None: No background shading

OHLC Data Type
Select which key levels to display on your chart:

• Current Day: Displays Open, High, Low, and Mid (auto-calculated)
• Prior Day: Plots yesterday’s Open, High, Low, and Close
• Prior Week: Plots the same levels from the last full week

These levels often act as magnets or rejection points. A clean break beyond them usually signals directional intent.

Historical Data Display

• Historical Count: Choose how many previous sessions to plot

Helpful for identifying multi-day stacked levels or zones that have held up over time.

Note: Make sure your chart has enough historical data loaded to calculate these levels correctly.

Dynamic VWAP:

Description

VWAP is a key reference point used by institutions—it represents the average price weighted by volume. This version lets you anchor VWAP to any point, reset it daily, weekly, or monthly, and display bands based on percentage, points, ticks, or standard deviations.

It’s a great way to spot where price is trading relative to value. Is price above or below the VWAP? Are we stretched or balanced?

Tip: During trend days, price tends to stay on one side of the VWAP. Fade setups are riskier when VWAP is far behind the move and still sloping.

Adaptive Volume-Weighted Averages

Line Display

• Smooth: No rounding
• RoundToPrice: Rounded to tick size

Reset Interval Options
Reset VWAP calculations based on:

• Anchored: User-defined start point
• Days, Weeks, Months: Rolling resets by timeframes

Envelope Variations
Choose from 6 VWAP envelope styles

Flexible Value Calculation
VWAP bands can be displayed in:

• Currency
• Percent
• Points
• Standard Deviations
• Ticks

 Anchored VWAPs are great for identifying value zones from major highs/lows.

Fair Value Gap:

Description

Markets often move too fast for fair pricing to keep up. When they do, gaps in value form — areas where aggressive buyers or sellers overwhelmed the other side. These imbalances are commonly revisited, acting as magnets or reversal zones later in the session.

The Fair Value Gap indicator automatically detects and displays these zones in real-time, giving you the ability to track clean, untested zones or all recent imbalances. You control the sensitivity, zone size, and display style — whether you’re working off a 5-minute chart or volume-based data.

Tip: When price returns to a previously unfilled gap, take note of the reaction. Fast rejections signal active defense by trapped traders. Consolidation inside the zone may imply absorption and continuation.

Fair Value Zone Settings

Filters
Define what kind of bars and zones to track:

• Time Frame: UseChartBars, Seconds, Minutes, Ticks, Volume, or Range
• Period: Number of bars used to scan for gaps
• Min Zone Size: Minimum tick size for a gap to be considered valid

Zones
Control the appearance and structure of the zone display:

• Display Type:
  • Naked: Only shows unfilled gaps
• Color Up / Color Down:
  • Customize colors for bullish or bearish gaps
• Area Opacity:
  • Adjust how transparent the filled area appears
• Line DashStyle:
  • Solid, Dot, Dash, or Custom
• Line Width / Line Opacity:
  • Adjust thickness and visibility of border lines
• Mid DashStyle / Mid Width / Mid Opacity:
  • Configure the centerline running through the zone
• Show Price:
  • Toggle to show price value of each gap
• Extended:
  • Extend the zone indefinitely across the chart

Notifications

• Enable Alerts
  • Get notified when price enters or touches a zone

Data Series

• Input Series:
  • Choose which data series the indicator reads from (e.g., MNQ 06-25, 5 Minute)

Setup

• Calculate:
  • On bar close or intrabar (tick by tick)
• Label:
  • Custom text label for each zone (e.g., “Fair Value Gap”)
• Maximum Bars Look Back:
  • Set how far back the tool scans for valid gaps

HeikenAshi Bars:

Description

Price can be noisy, especially in fast or indecisive markets. Heiken Ashi Bars smooth out that noise by averaging price data to create a clearer picture of trend direction and strength. Instead of showing raw opens and closes, each bar is calculated to reflect the overall market movement—helping you stay in trades longer and avoid premature exits.

This version gives you control over how aggressively the bars are smoothed. Whether you’re looking for subtle confirmation or strong trend clarity, you can tailor the display to match your strategy.

Tip: When bars begin changing color after a long run in one direction, it often signals a shift in market sentiment. Combine this with volume or structure for added confirmation.

Custom Bar Display Settings

Real Close Display
Choose how the bar’s closing value is calculated:

• True: Displays the actual close price from the market
• False: Displays the averaged Heiken Ashi close (smoothed)

 Use True if you want to blend raw price visibility with smoother bar shapes.

Display Type
Define how the bar’s open is calculated for trend smoothing:

• None: Normal bars showing true open values
• Standard: Average of the last 2 bar closes
• Extreme: Average of the last 3 bar closes
• Supreme: Average of the last 4 bar closes for maximum smoothing

 The deeper the averaging, the smoother the visual trend—ideal for filtering out market noise during choppy conditions.

Moving Average Bands:

Description

Markets often oscillate around a fair value before expanding into trend or reverting back to balance. Moving Average Bands help you visualize that relationship by plotting dynamic zones around one or two moving averages—giving you a clearer sense of whether price is stretched, balanced, or compressing.

This tool lets you customize both the timeframe and type of moving average used. Whether you’re trading pullbacks, watching for mean reversion, or trying to identify high-probability breakout zones, these bands give you structure and context. You can smooth or round the lines, apply them to ticks, volume, or range data, and compare multiple averages at once.

Tip: Watch how price behaves as it rides or rejects the outer bands. Are we hugging the upper band with rising momentum—or fading away from it into consolidation?

Custom Display Settings

Time Frame Options
Apply moving average bands to the data source that fits your strategy:

• Use Chart Bars: Matches your current chart’s bar type and size
• Minute / Seconds: Time-based data
• Tick / Volume / Range: Non-time-based movement filters

 Great for adapting your MA logic to scalping, swing trading, or range-bound sessions.

Line Display
Choose how price levels are rendered:

• Smooth: Plots the exact MA value (cleaner but less “grid-locked”)
• RoundToPrice: Rounds the MA to the nearest tick size (matches chart scaling)

Moving Average Types
Select from a wide range of MA algorithms to suit your style:

• EMA (Exponential Moving Average)
• HMA (Hull Moving Average)
• SMA (Simple Moving Average)
• TEMA (Triple Exponential Moving Average)
• TMA (Triangular Moving Average)
• VMA (Variable Moving Average)
• VWMA (Volume Weighted Moving Average)
• WMA (Weighted Moving Average)

You can choose two separate moving averages (Primary and Secondary) and compare their behavior over time.

 For trend-followers, a faster EMA and slower VWMA combo can reveal pullback entries and exhaustion zones.

MultiDay VWAP:

Description

VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) is where volume and price meet—literally. It’s the average price paid over time, weighted by the size of trades. But in real trading, today’s VWAP often isn’t enough. Traders need to know how value has been building across multiple sessions.

MultiDay VWAP extends that view. It lets you anchor VWAP across 1, 2, 3, or 5 days—or even display rolling Weekly and Monthly VWAPs—so you can track whether price is trending away from value, returning to it, or consolidating around it.

Tip: When price rejects a rising multi-day VWAP from above, it often signals fading momentum. Conversely, price reclaiming a lost VWAP is often the first clue of a trend resuming.

Custom VWAP Display Options

Day-Based VWAP Anchors
Choose from multiple time horizons to track broader volume-weighted zones:

• 1 Day VWAP – Standard intraday view
• 2 Day VWAP – Tracks value zones over two full sessions
• 3 Day VWAP – Great for short-term swing or bias tracking
• 5 Day VWAP – Weekly composite of trading activity

Session-Based Anchors

• Weekly VWAP – Tracks the average price paid over the full trading week
• Monthly VWAP – Ideal for longer-term positioning and major value shifts

Pivot Range:

Description

The Pivot Range is a time-tested framework that maps out potential support and resistance zones using price relationships from previous sessions. This tool automatically calculates key pivot levels (R1–R6, S1–S6) and builds envelopes around them based on your preferred input method — giving you a structured roadmap for intraday, weekly, or monthly bias.

Whether you use pivots for trade planning, directional bias, or mean reversion setups, this indicator makes them visual, flexible, and responsive to your style.

Tip: Watch how price behaves around the central pivot range. Holding above the range suggests strength, while rejection from it often signals fading pressure or a failed breakout.

Settings Overview

Price Type
Choose the base price used to calculate pivot levels and envelope zones:

• Pivots: Classic R1–R6 and S1–S6 levels based on high, low, close
• Session_Open: Uses the session open as the anchor point
• Custom_Price: Manually enter a price to anchor the envelopes

Use Pivots for traditional levels. Session_Open and Custom_Price allow flexibility for personalized models.

Pivot Range Period
Select the timeframe used to generate pivots and envelopes:

• Daily – Resets every session
• Weekly – Based on last week’s high, low, close
• Monthly – For swing/position traders tracking broader bias

Daily pivots work well for intraday setups, while weekly/monthly pivots are ideal for multi-session confluence.

HLC Calculation Method
Control how high/low/close values are sourced:

• CalcFromIntradayData – Uses intraday bar data (more precise on short-term charts)
• DailyBars – Uses daily bar values (cleaner but less granular)
• UserDefinedValues – Manually input your own high, low, close values

IntradayData is more responsive for active traders. UserDefinedValues let you backtest or anchor to event-specific candles.

Envelopes
Add dynamic zones around your pivot levels:

• Enable up to 6 envelopes per direction
• Track how far price stretches from your anchor values

Value Type
Choose how envelope distances are calculated:

• Currency
• Percent
• Points
• Standard Deviations
• Ticks

Position Manager:

Description

Managing trades manually can be stressful, especially when markets speed up. The Position Manager gives you a way to shift your stop, adjust targets, or move to breakeven with a single click. You define the logic in advance—how much room, what conditions—and the tool handles the rest.

Whether you’re scaling out, trailing a stop, or locking in profits, this gives you a structured, reactive way to do it without second-guessing.

Tip: Set your breakeven offset to give the trade a little room to breathe. Moving it too tight too soon can cut you out of good moves.

Advanced Trade Management Controls

Ultimate ZigZag:

Description

Ultimate ZigZag is more than a basic high-low connector. It reads the structure of the market by plotting swings, reversal zones, and trend changes, complete with statistics like range, volume, and bar count.

It also gives you visualization tools like Fibonacci levels, swing extensions, and real-time trail lines that help you anticipate where the next move might begin.

Tip: Use this to study how swings develop. Are they symmetrical? Is each leg gaining or losing momentum? The answers give you context that pure candles can’t.

Advanced Market Structure & Swing Detection

Volume Delta:

Description

Volume Delta shows the battle between aggressive buyers and sellers. It measures the difference between buying and selling pressure, helping you spot imbalances that may not be visible on a price chart alone.

You can filter by session, swing, bar, or cumulative—and even narrow in on large trade sizes or divergence conditions.

Tip: When price pushes to a new high but delta is weak or negative, it often means there’s no real buyer commitment—watch for reversals or absorption.

In-Depth Volume Imbalance Analysis

Delta Type

• Cumulative: Rolls over session-to-session
• Session: Resets each session
• Bar: Resets each bar
• Swing: Resets at each market swing

Size Filter
Set a minimum trade size to include in delta readings

Match Bar Width

• True: Match candle width to price bar (gapped)
• False: Standard bar visuals

Filtering Options
Advanced delta-based signal generation:

• Divergence: Delta vs. price action
• High Delta: Spike in delta
• High Delta + Price Extension: Spike + wick in opposite direction

High Delta Threshold Calculation

• Average Range: Uses average delta range × multiplier
• Upper/Lower Bound: Manually define threshold

Volume Imbalance:

Description

Markets move on imbalance—when one side of the tape overwhelms the other. The Volume Imbalance indicator gives you a real-time look into this dynamic by combining volume profile data with stacked bid/ask imbalances and delta overlays.

You’ll see current and prior session profiles side-by-side, with value areas, POC levels, and bar-by-bar delta or cumulative delta at the bottom. Stacked imbalances are highlighted directly on the chart and can be paired with alerts to signal aggressive buyers or sellers stepping in.

Tip: Pay close attention when stacked imbalances form near the current or prior session value areas. These are often strong signs of continuation or absorption before breakout.

Settings Overview

Current & Previous Session Profiles

• Toggle visibility
• Adjustable profile width
• Gradient shading option
• Show/hide value area
• Extend value area forward
• Optional delta overlay inside the profile
• Bar-style rendering

Great for comparing current session development to previous session structure.

Stacked Imbalances

• Enable Display: Turns on stacked imbalance zones
• Minimum Imbalance Ratio: Default 0.3 (3:1 bid/ask delta)

A lower value captures more events; higher values isolate extreme aggression.

Bottom Area (Delta Panel)

• Show: Enable the panel
• Type:
  • Delta per bar
  • Cumulative Delta
  • Volume
• Gradient: Optional color fade effect

Cumulative Delta is useful for detecting absorption or divergence beneath price action.

Key Lines

• POC Line: Custom color and line width
• Value Area Line: Highlighting of the 70% volume zone

Color Customization

• Buy/Sell/Neutral volume
• Profile and Value Area
• POC and Imbalance Zones
• Separate colors for buy/sell stacked imbalance zones

Alerts

• Bullish Stacked Imbalance: Trigger support zone alert
• Bearish Stacked Imbalance: Trigger resistance zone alert

Binary Swing:

Description

Markets speak in swings—higher highs, lower lows, and everything in between. Binary Swing helps you isolate those key turning points with precision by detecting confirmed swing highs and lows based on a fixed bar count before and after the pivot.

Once confirmed, the tool allows you to project zones from each swing—whether it’s the wick, body, or a percentage of the candle—so you can visualize support and resistance levels that are truly tied to structure. These zones can remain active indefinitely or disappear once broken, depending on how you want to frame the market.

Tip: When price revisits a swing zone from the opposite side, it often tells a story—are we respecting structure, absorbing it, or blowing through it with conviction? Watch what happens there. That’s where the edge lives.

Swing Detection Settings

Forward Period

• Number of bars that must print after the swing point to confirm the pivot

A larger value waits longer to confirm, reducing false swings but adding lag.

LookBack Period

• Number of bars scanned before the swing point

Helps define how far back to search for the high or low forming the swing.

Zone Type (Display Options)
Customize how the swing zone is drawn:

• SingleLines – Line drawn at the High (for swing highs) or Low (for swing lows)
• RangePercent – Zone sized as a percentage of the pivot bar’s full range
• Wicks – Uses only the wick (high-to-close for swing highs, low-to-open for swing lows)
• Body – Focuses only on the candle body
• OpenClose – Includes both body and wick on one side, excluding the wick on the opposite side

For precise rejection setups, use Wicks or SingleLines. For broader absorption or liquidity zones, try RangePercent or OpenClose.

Zone Behavior Settings
No Break

• True: Extends swing zones indefinitely
  • Optional limit on the number of zones shown to reduce clutter
• False: Zones remain active until price breaks through

Break Type

• OnFirstTouch: Zone is removed as soon as price touches it
• FullBreakout: Zone is removed only if both the high and low of the zone are broken

If you want to monitor reaction rather than absorption, use OnFirstTouch. For full break confirmations, go with FullBreakout.

Alerts
Get notified when price tests or breaks a swing zone

Enable Alerts on Zone Touch
