Quarter Levels — Auto Recentering NQ only

Quarter Levels — Auto Recentering (PERMANENT) + Big Offset Labels

What it is
This tool paints true horizontal key levels that traders naturally anchor to: the 00 / 25 / 50 / 75 quarter levels (black), the 35 / 65 / 90 reaction levels (red), and the 10 / 80 sweep/edge levels (purple).
Lines are infinite horizontals and the grid auto-recenters ±200 points around current price each new bar. Labels on the right show the last two digits (e.g., 25, 35, 50, 65, 75, 80, 90), so you instantly know which level you’re at.

Why it helps
Markets often “snap” to simple numbers. These levels create a clean scaffold for intraday structure, pullbacks, and rotations—without clutter or lagging math.

Color Legend

Black — 00 / 25 / 50 / 75:
Core quarter levels. Expect frequent pauses, re-tests, and rotations.
Use: default S/R map; bias for mean-reversion inside ranges.

Red — 35 / 65 / 90:
“Continuation / reaction” levels. Price often accelerates through these once momentum takes.
Use: breakout guides and precise take-profit targets.

Purple — 10 / 80:
Sweep / edge levels. Price often wicks into these and rejects.
Use: fade the last push, or confirm a sweep before a reversal.

How it works

The script draws the levels as extend.both horizontals (not derived from candle points).

Every new bar, it rebuilds the grid around close ± 200 pts (editable in code: RANGE_POINTS).

Prices are snapped to tick (syminfo.mintick) so lines lock to the Y-axis.

Labels show only the offset (two-digit number) to keep the chart clean.

Setup & Customization

No inputs required.
If you want tweaks, open the code and edit at the top:

RANGE_POINTS – widen/narrow the vertical coverage.

LABEL_OFFSET – push labels further to the right.

LABEL_SIZE – size.small / normal / large.

Color & width constants (per group).

Practical Use (playbook)

Use this grid as a price map, not a signal generator. Combine it with your execution tools.

1) In Range Conditions

Fade to Black: When price rotates inside a range, look for exhaustion into black levels (00/25/50/75).
Plan: wait for rejection (wick + failed follow-through), enter back toward the mid/next quarter. Stop just beyond the level; first target the next red or black.

Purple Sweeps: Watch quick spikes into 10/80 that immediately fail.
Plan: fade the sweep with tight risk; scale out at 25/75; hold a runner to 50.

2) In Trend / Momentum

Red Rails (35/65/90): When momentum is strong, price often steps through red levels cleanly.
Plan: use them as continuation targets or trail anchors. If pullback holds above a prior red level, consider continuation with stop below that level.

Quarter-to-Quarter Ladders: In clean trends, expect quarter-to-quarter traversals (00→25→50→75→00…).
Plan: add on pullbacks to 25 or 50 with trend confirmation (e.g., 9/21 EMA stack or anchored VWAP hold).

3) Confluence (AI-logic suggestions)

Pair the grid with any two of:

VWAP / Anchored VWAP: Rejections at a quarter level + VWAP = higher quality entry.

EMAs (9/21/50/200): Use as directional filter. Only take longs at quarters when fast EMAs > slow EMAs.

Liquidity cues: Prior high/low, session O/H/L, or liquidity pools aligning with a quarter level.

Orderflow / footprint: Aggressive delta through a red level? Expect follow-through to the next black or red.

Volatility (ATR): If ATR expands, lean more on red levels (continuations). In compression, lean more on black and purple (fades).

Risk & Management Tips

Stops: Just beyond the level you’re trading against. Let the level “be wrong” to prove you wrong.

Targets: Next red or black line. Scale at the first, hold a small runner to the next.

Session awareness: Levels interact differently in Asia/EU/US. In US RTH, expect sharper responses at red and purple.

Timeframes: Works across all. Intraday (1–15m) for entries; 1h/4h daily for context.

Do not chase: If you miss the touch, wait for the next level; the map is dense by design.

Limitations

This indicator does not generate buy/sell signals; it supplies a stable structure.

In runaway trends, price can cut through multiple lines—use trend filters and risk caps.

Auto-recentering means the visible band travels with price; if you need static levels far away, increase RANGE_POINTS.

Troubleshooting

No labels? Make sure max_labels_count isn’t hit and SHOW_LABELS = true.

Labels too close to price? Increase LABEL_OFFSET.

Too many lines? Reduce RANGE_POINTS or hide a color group in code.

Quick Start (TL;DR)

Add the script.

Trade the map:

Fade purple/black in ranges.

Target red/black in trends.

Combine with VWAP/EMAs or your orderflow tool for confirmation.

Respect stops just beyond the level; scale at the next line.

Happy trading, and welcome to the Quarter-Level grid.
