Daily Levels (Open, Prev High/Low)A clean and lightweight indicator that automatically plots three key intraday levels: the Daily Open, the Previous Day's High (PDH), and the Previous Day's Low (PDL). Essential for identifying potential support, resistance, and daily market bias without cluttering your chart.
Overview
This indicator is designed to be a simple yet powerful tool for intraday traders. It automatically draws three of the most significant price levels that traders watch every day:
The Current Day's Opening Price
The Previous Day's High (PDH)
The Previous Day's Low (PDL)
By having these levels plotted automatically, you can keep your charts clean and focus on your strategy instead of manually drawing lines every new trading session.
Key Features
Dynamic Daily Open Line: This line represents the opening price of the current session. It dynamically changes color to give you an at-a-glance view of the daily sentiment.
Green: Current price is trading above the daily open (Bullish sentiment).
Red: Current price is trading below the daily open (Bearish sentiment).
Gray: Current price is at the open.
Previous Day's High (PDH): A line marking the highest price reached during the prior trading session. This level frequently acts as a key resistance point.
Previous Day's Low (PDL): A line marking the lowest price reached during the prior trading session. This level often serves as a key support area.
How to Use This Indicator
These levels are fundamental to many intraday trading strategies:
Identify Support & Resistance: Use PDH and PDL as natural areas to watch for price reactions. A break above PDH can signal strong bullish momentum, while a break below PDL can indicate strong bearish momentum.
Gauge Market Bias: Trading above the Daily Open is often considered bullish for the day, while trading below it is considered bearish. This can help you filter trades to align with the dominant intraday trend.
Set Entries & Exits: Look for confirmation signals (like candlestick patterns or other indicator signals) when the price interacts with these levels. They can also be logical areas for placing stop-losses or take-profit targets.
Customization
The indicator is fully customizable to fit your charting style:
Toggle the visibility of the Daily Open and the PDH/PDL lines.
Adjust the colors and line widths for each level.
This tool helps you stay focused on the levels that matter most for day trading.
PDH
RTH Levels: VWAP + PDH/PDL + ONH/ONL + IBAlgo Index — Levels Pro (ONH/ONL • PDH/PDL • VWAP±Bands • IB • Gaps)
Purpose. A session-aware, non-repainting levels tool for intraday decision-making. Designed for futures and indices, with clean visuals, alerts, and a one-click Minimal Mode for screenshot-ready charts.
What it plots
• PDH/PDL (RTH-only) – Prior Regular Trading Hours high/low, computed intraday and frozen at the RTH close (no 24h mix-ups, no repainting).
• ONH/ONL – Prior Overnight high/low, held throughout RTH.
• RTH VWAP with ±σ bands – Volume-weighted variance, reset each RTH.
• Initial Balance (IB) – First N minutes of RTH, plus 1.5× / 2.0× extensions after IB completes.
• Today’s RTH Open & Prior RTH Close – With gap detection and “gap filled” alert.
• Killzone shading – NY Open (09:30–10:30 ET) and Lunch (11:15–13:30 ET).
• Values panel (top-right) – Each level with live distance in points & ticks.
• Right-edge level tags – With anti-overlap (stagger + vertical jitter).
• Price-scale tags – Native trackprice markers that always “stick” to the axis.
⸻
New in v6.4
• Minimal Mode: one click for a clean look (thinner lines, VWAP bands/IB extensions hidden, on-chart right-edge labels off; price-scale tags remain).
• Theme presets: Dark Hi-Contrast / Light Minimal / Futures Classic / Muted Dark.
• Anti-overlap controls: horizontal staggering, vertical jitter, and baseline offset to keep tags readable even when levels cluster.
⸻
Quick start (2 minutes)
1. Add to chart → keep defaults.
2. Sessions (ET):
• RTH Session default: 09:30–16:00 (US equities cash hours).
• Overnight Session default: 18:00–09:29.
Adjust for your market if you use different “day” hours (e.g., many use 08:20–13:30 ET for COMEX Gold).
3. Theme & Minimal Mode: pick a Theme Preset; enable Minimal Mode for screenshots.
4. Visibility: toggle PD/ON/VWAP/IB/References/Panel to taste.
5. Right-edge labels: turn Show Right-Edge Labels on. If they crowd, tune:
• Anti-overlap: min separation (ticks)
• Horizontal offset per tag (bars)
• Vertical jitter per step (ticks)
• Right-edge baseline offset (bars)
6. Alerts: open Add alert → Condition: and pick the events you want.
⸻
How levels are computed (no repainting)
• PDH/PDL: Intraday H/L are accumulated only while in RTH and saved at RTH close for “yesterday’s” values.
• ONH/ONL: Accumulated across the defined Overnight window and then held during RTH.
• RTH VWAP & ±σ: Volume-weighted mean and standard deviation, reset at the RTH open.
• IB: First N minutes of RTH (default 60). Extensions (1.5×/2.0×) appear after IB completes.
• Gaps: Today’s RTH open vs prior RTH close; “Gap Filled” triggers when price trades back to prior close.
⸻
Practical playbooks (how to trade around the levels)
1) PDH/PDL interactions
• Rejection: Price taps PDH/PDL then closes back inside → mean-reversion toward VWAP/IB.
• Acceptance: Close/hold beyond PDH/PDL with momentum → continuation to next HTF/IB target.
• Alert: PD Touch/Break.
2) ONH/ONL “taken”
• Often one ON extreme is taken during RTH. ONH Taken / ONL Taken → check if it’s a clean break or sweep & reclaim.
• Sweep + reclaim near VWAP can fuel rotations through the ON range.
3) VWAP ±σ framework
• Balanced: First tag of ±1σ often reverts toward VWAP.
• Trend: Persistent trade beyond ±1σ + IB break → target ±2σ/±3σ.
• Alerts: VWAP Cross and VWAP Reject (cross then immediate fail back).
4) IB breaks
• After IB completes, a clean IB break commonly targets 1.5× and sometimes 2.0×.
• Quick return inside IB = possible fade back to the opposite IB edge/VWAP.
• Alerts: IB Break Up / Down.
5) Gaps
• Gap-and-go: Opening drive away from prior close + VWAP support → trend until IB completion.
• Gap-fill: Weak open and VWAP overhead/underfoot → trade toward prior close; manage on Gap Filled alert.
Pro tip: Stack confluences (e.g., ONL sweep + VWAP reclaim + IB hold) and respect your execution rules (e.g., require a 5-minute close in direction, or your order-flow confirmation).
⸻

Panel guide
The top-right panel shows each level plus live distance from last price:
LevelValue (Δpoints | Δticks)
Coloring: green if level is below current price, red if above.
⸻
Styling & screenshot tips
• Use Theme Preset that matches your chart.
• For dark charts, “Dark Hi-Contrast” with Main Line Width = 3 works well.
• Enable Trackprice for crisp axis tags that always stick to the right edge.
• Turn on Minimal Mode for cleaner screenshots (no VWAP bands or IB extensions, on-chart tags off; price-scale tags remain).
• If tags crowd, increase min separation (ticks) to 30–60 and horizontal offset to 3–5; add vertical jitter (4–12 ticks) and/or push tags farther right with baseline offset (bars).
⸻
Behavior & limitations
• Levels are computed incrementally; tables refresh on the last bar for efficiency.
• Right-edge labels are placed at bar_index + offset and do not track extra right-margin scrolling (TradingView limitation). The price-scale tags (from trackprice) do track the axis.
• “RTH” is what you define in inputs. If your market uses different day hours, change the session strings so PDH/PDL reflect your definition of “yesterday’s session.”
⸻
FAQ
Q: My PDH/PDL don’t match the daily chart.
A: By design this uses RTH-only highs/lows, not 24h daily bars. Adjust sessions if you want a different definition.
Q: Right-edge tags overlap or don’t sit at the far right.
A: Increase min separation / horizontal offset / vertical jitter and/or push tags farther with baseline offset. If you want markers that always hug the axis, rely on Trackprice.
Q: Can I change killzones?
A: Yes—edit the session strings in settings or request a version with user inputs for custom windows.

Key LevelsI couldn't find an indicator that plotted previous day and intraday key levels like I wanted.
This indicator plots key levels on the chart:
Current session high (HOD) and low (LOD)
Previous day high (PDH), low (PDL), and close (PDC)
Overnight high (ONH) and low (ONL) based on a defined overnight window
At the start of a new session (day), the indicator resets its values and creates a new set of labels.
These labels are positioned in a fixed horizontal column (offset from the current bar) and are updated each bar so that they remain vertically aligned with their corresponding level (with a small vertical offset).
Inputs you can modify:
Futures Mode and session times for equities and futures.
Horizontal label offset (in bars) and vertical offset (price units) for label positioning.
Colors, line widths, and styles for each level (day high, day low, overnight high/low, previous day levels).
Adjust these inputs to match your market hours and desired appearance.
Zero background in coding, but worked with chatGPT to develop this, and it works for me. Would welcome any and all feedback.

Previous Highs & Lows [LuxAlgo]The Previous Highs & Lows indicator highlights a user-set amount of previous maximum/minimum prices made within specific intervals, these are displayed as levels customizable levels.
Additionally, one upper and lower zone constructed from the previously displayed highs/lows is included, providing support/resistance areas.
🔶 USAGE
Previous highs/lows are often perceived as key trading levels with the potential of generating multiple reactions upon being reached.
While the daily interval is more commonly used, users can use different intervals, with the indicator supporting hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly intervals. Using higher intervals on low timeframes can return more distant levels relative to the most recent price, which might not be relevant.
Each level is numbered, with more recent previous highs/lows having a lower number associated with them, users can also highlight more recent levels through a transparency gradient.
Users can control the amount of previous highs/lows displayed using the "Show Last" settings, with a higher value providing more potential support/resistance. Returned previous highs/lows can eventually be filtered out based on their position by enabling the "Filter Based On Position" setting, only keeping previous highs above the current closing price and previous lows below the current closing price, giving more relevant levels as a result.
🔹 Previous High/Low Areas
The indicator includes two areas constructed from the respective percentiles of the returned previous highs/lows. These can be useful as more general support/resistance areas.
Wider areas are often indicative of a group of previous highs or lows being more dispersed, resulting in areas that are easier to reach. Wider areas can also be obtained by increasing the "Areas Width" setting.
Note: Areas will only be displayed if "Show Last" is greater than 1
🔶 SETTINGS
Show Last: Determines the amount of more recent previous highs and previous low levels displayed by the indicator.
Interval: Interval used to capture maximum/minimum price values,
Areas Width: Width of the displayed top/bottom areas, with higher values returning wider areas.
Filter Based On Position: When enabled only display previous highs above the current closing price and previous lows below the current closing price.
🔹 Style
Minimum Gradient Transparency: Minimum transparency value applied to the colors of the oldest displayed previous highs/lows levels.
Previous Levels With Custom TimeZoneThe Previous Levels With Custom TimeZone indicator shows to users specifics price area which can be liquidity to take.
Users can determine the desired time zone to retrieve the correct daily, weekly and monthly values.
Several price area are shown with with indicator which are :
Daily Open Price

CPR_Previous Day Ranges_Initial BalanceHello Traders,
This script best works on Indian Index (Tested on BANKNIFTY & NIFTY)
This indicator can be used only for day trading (intraday: ex: 5min, 15min Timeframes) on indices.
This script helps to plot
1. Central Pivot Range(CPR)
2. Previous Day Ranges (PDH & PDL)
3. Initial Balance(IB)
brief description of indicators:
1. CPR: Central Pivot Range --> This indicator helps to identify key price points to set up trades. CPR is beneficial for intraday trading.
2.Previous Day Ranges: These ranges will help to understand the current day market.
PDH: Previous Day High value on current day
PDL: Previous Day Low value on current day
3.Initial Balance(IB):This indicator will help in day trading. IB will plot current day first 1hr high, low & mid values.
Disclaimer: This indicator can be used as refrence only. This has been tested on Banknifty and Nifty indices on day trading 5 minutes and 15 minutes timeframe. Understand yourself to knowledge of different trading methods.
Intraday Trading ZonesThis script can help in intraday trading. It can plot
1. Previous day high, low and close.
2. Intraday Fibonacci levels
3. Big Round Numbers
3. CPR (Central Pivot Range)
4. VWAP
Decision Points for TradingSimple script to highlight
Previous Day Low (PDL), Previous Day High(PDH), Previous Day Close(PDC)
Big round Numbers (BRN)
High Of the Day (HoD)
Low Of the Day (LOD)
-- Will add more DP's going fwd.
Usage : Especially useful to trade on NIFTY/Bank Nifty without any additional specific indicators.
Especially for daily analysis and intraday trading - Decision Points(DP's) are critical and will be using this simple script.
R-HL-PDWThis script doesn't give buy or sell signals. It gives a reference point to the previous day's high and low as well as the previous week's high/low. This will be helpful for intraday trading decisions.
Pivot Points & Midlines with color selectorAdapted from Pinescript Manual's "Pivot Points Standard". Added extra levels and midlines as well as user inputs for color and a "show labels" on/off switch.
So this will show the Pivot level, the resulting levels R1,R2,R3,S1,S2,S3 and the midpoint lines between these.
User can choose the Higher timeframe period from which to calculate these pivot levels, as per the original script.
I like to add two of these to a chart, one for daily and one for weekly pivot levels.
If you don't need any particular level, just comment out the appropriate lines (one from each of the second last and third last blocks in the script).
WeekendIt is tracking Previous candle high and Previous candle low. It is an important script to trail PDH PDL system (and more importantly to create alerts) which is rampantly used by price action traders.
