Previous Day Key Levels# Previous Day Key Levels
Previous Day Key Levels automatically plots the key reference points I use to frame each trading day:
* Previous RTH High and Low
* Asia High and Low
* London High and Low
The indicator is designed to work on an RTH chart while still calculating the Asia and London ranges from extended-hours data. Each level is drawn as a clean horizontal reference with a named label and a matching price marker on the right axis.
## How to use it
These levels help organize the market into clear areas of potential reaction, acceptance, rejection, breakout, or failed breakout.
Previous Day High and Low are especially useful as major reference points for the current RTH session. Price holding above or below them can support a directional thesis, while tests and rejections can highlight potential reversals or rotational conditions.
Asia and London Highs/Lows provide additional intraday structure before and during New York trading. They can act as liquidity targets, breakout points, or areas where an early New York move may stall, reverse, or accelerate.
The Asia range updates when the Asia session ends, and the London range updates when London ends. Previous Day High/Low refresh for the next RTH session.
## Pairing with Volume Profile
This indicator is intended as a supporting structure tool—not a standalone entry signal.
For a fuller market read, pair it with a Volume Profile indicator that provides:
* POC: the session’s highest-volume price area
* VAH: Value Area High
* VAL: Value Area Low
When a key session level overlaps with POC, VAH, or VAL, that confluence can make the area more meaningful. For example:
* A Previous Day High near VAH may act as a more significant resistance or breakout-acceptance area.
* A Previous Day Low near VAL may become a higher-quality support or breakdown-rejection zone.
* An Asia or London extreme aligning with POC can highlight a potential magnet, decision point, or support/resistance area.
Use the levels alongside price action, market context, and volume behavior. They are reference points—not guarantees—and are most useful for forming a structured trade idea and defining risk around meaningful market locations.
Indicator
Previous Day High / LowIt marks three price levels from yesterday's session and holds them on the chart as horizontal reference lines.
**What it plots**
PDH and PDL are the previous day's high and low, drawn as solid light-blue lines at width 3. PDM sits halfway between them, dotted and light yellow. All three extend infinitely in both directions, so they're visible no matter where you scroll.
**How the values are pulled**
A single `request.security` call fetches `high ` and `low ` off the daily series. Because it references the bar *before* the current daily bar, the values are locked in from a session that has already closed. `lookahead_on` is safe in that context and nothing repaints intraday. Mid is just the average of the two.
There's an RTH toggle. Left off, you get the full Globex range on futures. Switched on, `ticker.modify` swaps to the regular session so the levels come from 8:30–3:00 CT only.
**How it draws**
Rather than creating new line objects each session, it makes six objects once (three lines, three labels) and repositions them on the last bar. That's why it runs on any timeframe and why the lines are continuous instead of segmented per day. Labels sit three bars right of the last candle showing the level name and price.
**Alerts**
Two conditions fire on a close crossing PDH or PDL, in either direction.
**Practical use for MNQ**
These are the levels a lot of order flow references at the open. Yesterday's high and low act as the obvious liquidity pools, and the midpoint often works as a mean-reversion magnet when the session opens inside the prior range. Given your 9/21 EMA stack, the useful reads are when a level lines up with the fast EMAs, and when price opens outside the prior range entirely, since that changes whether PDH/PDL are targets or support.

Prior Close Reclaim Planner [AGPro Series]Prior Close Reclaim Planner
🧠 Core Idea
Is the prior close being reclaimed, rejected, or treated as a live magnet by the current market?
📌 Overview / What it does
Prior Close Reclaim Planner maps the completed prior close as a live support/resistance reference and evaluates how price reacts around that level.
The script displays a prior-close rail, an ATR-based reclaim pocket, reclaim labels, rejection labels, magnet-zone labels, right-side reference tags, and a compact AG Pro dashboard with a 0-100 reclaim score.
It does not predict where price will go next. It helps organize the reaction around the previous close: reclaim quality, rejection pressure, magnet risk, rail state, and action context.
🎯 Purpose & Design Philosophy
The previous close is one of the simplest reference levels on a chart, but it is often read too casually.
This script was built to turn that reference into a structured planning map. It helps traders see whether the prior close is acting as support, resistance, a magnet, or a failed reclaim zone.
The design supports a patient decision-support mindset: read the rail, evaluate the reaction, check the score, and place the output inside broader market context.
⚡ Why This Script Is Different
Most tools draw a prior close line and stop there.
This script does NOT treat the prior close as a passive horizontal level.
Instead, it builds an active reclaim planner with a pocket, reaction labels, magnet context, relative-volume support, volatility fit, a readiness score, and a clear action state.
⚙️ Methodology
1. Prior Close Detection
The script sources the completed prior close from the selected reference timeframe. Daily is the default setting for previous-session analysis.
2. Reclaim Pocket Mapping
An ATR-based pocket is created above and below the prior close. This pocket is used to avoid overreacting to tiny ticks around the rail.
3. Reaction Evaluation
The script evaluates close location, wick response, relative volume, distance from the rail, and volatility fit.
4. Visual Output
The chart receives the rail, pocket, labels, right-side tags, bar coloring if enabled, and a dashboard panel summarizing the current state.
🗺️ How to Read the Chart
The central rail shows the completed prior close.
The pocket around the rail shows where reclaim and rejection behavior is evaluated.
Labels highlight bullish reclaim, bearish reclaim, rail defense, rail rejection, magnet-zone entries, and failed reclaim behavior.
Colors represent context:
• Teal → bullish reclaim or defense
• Pink → bearish reclaim or rejection
• Gold → neutral or waiting context
• Indigo → magnet or monitoring context
The panel summarizes:
• Prior Close
• Reclaim Score
• Magnet Risk
• Rail State
• Action
🚦 Signals & States
• Bull Prior Close Reclaim → price closed above the reclaim pocket
• Bear Prior Close Reclaim → price closed below the reclaim pocket
• Rail Defense → price tested the pocket and closed back above it
• Rail Rejection → price tested the pocket and closed back below it
• Magnet Zone → price is close enough to the prior close to treat the rail as active
• Invalidated → a reclaim attempt failed back through the prior-close rail
• READY → reclaim/rejection quality is strong enough to monitor
• MONITOR → price is near the rail, but conditions are not fully ready
• WAIT → no strong prior-close reaction is active
🔔 Alerts Logic
Alerts can trigger when price reclaims the prior close pocket, rejects the pocket, enters the magnet zone, reaches READY conditions, or invalidates a reclaim attempt.
Alerts are attention markers only. They are not trade instructions.
🧩 Confluence Logic
The prior-close context becomes stronger when close location, wick response, relative volume, volatility fit, and distance from the rail align.
For example, a reclaim with strong close quality, acceptable volume, and controlled distance from the rail is more structured than a weak close far from the reference.
📊 When to Use
• Intraday trading around the previous session close
• Session reclaim or rejection analysis
• Support/resistance reaction planning
• Trending markets that retest the prior close
• Range conditions where the prior close acts as a magnet
• Liquid symbols with readable candles and stable spreads
⚠️ When NOT to Use
• Very low-liquidity markets
• Symbols with unreliable session structure
• Extremely noisy chop around the rail
• News candles with unstable spreads
• Markets where the selected reference timeframe is not meaningful
🎛️ Key Inputs
• Reference Timeframe → controls where the completed prior close comes from
• Reclaim Pocket ATR → controls the width of the reaction pocket around the rail
• Magnet Distance ATR → controls when price is treated as close enough to the rail
• Minimum Ready Score → controls the score required for READY state
• Relative Volume Length → controls participation comparison
• Confirmation Mode → controls how strict reclaim/rejection evaluation should be
• Visual settings → control rails, pockets, labels, tags, bar colors, and dashboard behavior
🖥️ Interface & Visual Design
The interface is built for fast chart reading.
The prior close rail creates the main reference, the pocket defines the active reaction area, labels mark important events, and the panel compresses the state into a clean decision-support dashboard.
The goal is a premium, readable chart without turning the prior close into a cluttered signal board.
🧪 Practical Usage Workflow
1. Read the panel action state
2. Check whether price is above, below, or inside the prior-close pocket
3. Evaluate reclaim or rejection labels
4. Compare score quality with magnet risk
5. Confirm the context with broader structure, volume, and timeframe alignment
🔍 Interpretation Guidelines
A READY state means the prior-close reaction has enough structure to monitor.
Magnet risk means price is still close enough to the rail for the prior close to matter.
A reclaim label means the market crossed beyond the pocket, not that continuation is guaranteed.
A rejection or defense label means price reacted at the rail, but the broader trend and volatility context still matter.
🚫 What This Script Is NOT
This script is not a prediction engine.
It is not a guaranteed prior-close trading system.
It is not an automated trading tool.
It does not provide financial advice.
It does not guarantee continuation, reversal, profit, or a specific target.
⚠️ Limitations & Transparency
Prior-close behavior depends on market structure, volatility, liquidity, session design, and timeframe.
Different symbols may treat the previous close differently.
Very noisy markets can trigger frequent pocket interactions.
The score is a rule-based context score, not a certainty model.
🧠 Market Context Notes
The prior close often acts as a memory level.
When price reclaims it with participation, the rail may become a useful support/resistance reference.
When price repeatedly returns to it without follow-through, the rail may behave more like a magnet than a directional level.
🧾 Use Case Examples
When price opens below the prior close and later reclaims the pocket, the script marks the reclaim and scores the quality of the reaction.
When price tests the prior close from above and closes back above the pocket, the script can mark rail defense.
When price stays close to the rail without clean displacement, the panel can shift toward MONITOR instead of forcing a directional read.
🧱 System Philosophy
This script follows the AGPro Series approach: turn a familiar chart reference into a structured decision-support map.
The focus is not prediction. The focus is context, quality, invalidation awareness, and visual clarity.
🔐 Non-Promise Statement
No script can remove uncertainty from markets.
This tool does not promise accuracy, profitability, or future price movement.
Its purpose is to organize prior-close context so the user can interpret the chart more clearly.
📉 Risk Disclosure
Trading involves risk.
Market conditions can change quickly, and any analytical output can fail.
Users are responsible for their own decisions, risk management, and trade execution.
This script is for educational and analytical purposes only and does not provide financial advice.
📚 Educational Note
Use the prior close as a reference, not as an automatic decision.
The best reads usually come when the rail reaction aligns with structure, liquidity, volume, and the broader market environment.

Session Reaction Map [AGPro Series]Session Reaction Map
🔷 OVERVIEW
Session Reaction Map is a premium intraday study that maps how price reacts to the most important daily and weekly reference levels right at the opens of the Asia, London and New York sessions. Each session open is evaluated inside a fixed measurement window, and the resulting reaction is broken down into four dimensions: dominant move, close follow-through, wick rejection and counter-move penalty. The output is a single 0-100 reaction score that is then translated into tier-coded labels, premium reaction zones, an active reference band and a compact status panel, so you can instantly read what happened at each session open without scrolling through candles.
The indicator is designed for discretionary traders, systematic traders, SMC and price action practitioners who want a clean, consistent and quantitative way to read session open behaviour around PDH, PDL, PDM, Daily Open and Weekly Open. Reactions are drawn as directional zones (bull zones above the reference and bear zones below), with up or down pointing labels centered on the reaction, so orientation is always unambiguous.
🧭 UNIQUE EDGE
Most session open tools only mark time windows or highlight levels. Session Reaction Map goes further and quantifies the quality of the reaction itself. Four independent dimensions are measured against a fixed ATR-normalized baseline, and the final score determines not only whether a label is shown but also how prominent it is. Elite scores (80+) get the strongest visuals; strong scores (70-79) get a slightly softer treatment; watch scores (55-69) are coded as caution; anything below 55 is filtered out by default.
This separation between detection (a session open near a reference) and evaluation (the reaction quality score) is the core edge. It lets you focus only on the best intraday reactions and discard noise automatically, while still being able to audit every component by adjusting the ATR length, touch tolerance, evaluation window and score thresholds.
⚙️ METHODOLOGY
Session detection uses the chosen timezone and three session windows (Asia, London, New York), each with its own editable open range. When a session open occurs, the script checks whether the open price is within an ATR based touch tolerance of any enabled reference level (Previous Day High, Previous Day Low, Previous Day Mid, Daily Open or Weekly Open). If so, a reaction window is engaged on that bar and tracked for a configurable number of bars.
During the reaction window, the live zone, reference band and dashed reference line are updated in real time. When the window completes, the final score is computed as:
• Dominant move score (up to 45 points) - scaled against 1.20 x ATR
• Close follow-through score (up to 30 points) - scaled against 0.90 x ATR
• Wick rejection score (up to 15 points) - scaled against 0.50 x ATR
• Counter-move penalty (up to -20 points) - scaled against 1.00 x ATR
The sum is clamped into the 0-100 range and mapped into four tiers: Elite, Strong, Watch and Weak. The dominant direction of the reaction (up or down) is determined by comparing the upside excursion from the reference to the downside excursion from the reference during the window.
🎯 SIGNALS AND VISUALS
• Reaction zones - rectangular areas connecting the reference level with the reaction extreme, tier-coded by score and bias
• Active reference band - a thin accent band around the current reference level during a live reaction window
• Dashed reference line - marks the exact reference price while the reaction is being measured
• Tier-coded labels - up-pointing labels below bullish reactions and down-pointing labels above bearish reactions, centered on the reaction window
• Session dots - small colored markers that optionally display only on valid events, keeping the chart clean
• Active measurement highlight - an ultra-soft background shade on bars inside a live reaction window
Labels use a ring buffer overlap check, so dense multi-session conditions do not pile labels on top of each other. When two labels would visually conflict, the higher-scored reaction wins.
🛠️ KEY INPUTS
Sessions - enable/disable and edit Asia, London and New York session windows, each with its own color and timezone.
Reference Levels - individually toggle PDH, PDL, PDM, Daily Open and Weekly Open.
Reaction Logic - ATR length, touch tolerance in ATR, evaluation bars, label score filter, minimum label score, overlap reduction (bars and vertical ATR gap).
Visuals - show/hide reference levels, session dots, dots only on valid events, reaction zones, minimum score for zones, zone transparency and extension, live reaction zone, active reference band with its ATR size and transparency, active measurement highlight, level width, label size, label offset in ATR and label background transparency.
Panel - show/hide, position (six anchor points), Dark or Light theme, font size, optional guide row.
All numerical inputs carry professional English tooltips explaining their role, so the script can be tuned for any symbol, timeframe and trading style.
📘 HOW TO USE
1. Apply the script on an intraday timeframe. It is designed for intraday use and will stay passive on daily/higher timeframes.
2. Recommended starting timeframe is 4H for swing intraday context, and 1H for tactical intraday work. Lower timeframes (15m, 30m) work too but may produce dense output.
3. Start with the default settings. Observe which sessions and which reference levels generate the most Elite and Strong reactions on your symbol.
4. Use the panel to monitor the current state: last session, last reference, bias, score, tier, label filter, zone filter and the active reaction status.
5. Treat Elite (80+) and Strong (70-79) reactions as the main signals. Watch tier is informative and Weak tier is generally discarded.
6. Align with your own confluence: higher timeframe bias, structure, orderflow, or whatever your primary framework is. The script does not issue buy or sell calls - it scores reactions, and you decide.
⚠️ LIMITATIONS AND TRANSPARENCY
• This is not a strategy and does not place orders. No backtest statistics are implied.
• Reaction scores are computed after the evaluation window completes, so they are not repainting but are confirmed with a lag equal to the evaluation window size.
• The live reaction zone updates during the window and is finalized when the window closes.
• Session behavior varies significantly by symbol (crypto vs FX vs equities) and by volatility regime. Inputs should be tuned per symbol.
• Daily and Weekly references use standard request.security with barmerge.lookahead_off to avoid look-ahead bias.
• The script is not a forecasting tool. It is a post-event quantification of how price has just reacted to a known reference level.
🛡️ RISK DISCLOSURE
Trading involves substantial risk. Past reactions, patterns, zones or scores do not guarantee future performance. This script is provided for educational and analytical purposes only and is not financial advice. Always combine any tool with your own research, a defined risk plan and proper position sizing.

Reference Price Operating Map [AGPro Series]Reference Price Operating Map
🔹 OVERVIEW
Reference Price Operating Map is a focused overlay that consolidates the four most universally watched reference prices — Daily Open, Weekly Open, Monthly Open, and Previous Close — into a single operating map. It tracks how price interacts with each level in real time, attributes control to the reference currently leading price action, groups overlapping references into confluence clusters, and fades distant context so the active map stays clean.
The chart answers one direct question at a glance: which reference is controlling the session right now.
Built for intraday operators, swing traders, and position traders who anchor their bias to session and period opens. Works on any symbol and any intraday or daily timeframe.
🔸 WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
Most open-line indicators simply draw horizontal lines for Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Previous Close and stop there. This script goes further by adding four layers on top of those lines:
• State tracking — each reference is classified as Untouched, 1st Touch, Tested, Held, Reclaimed, or Rejected, and the state updates bar by bar as price interacts with the level.
• Control attribution — a proximity-weighted scoring system selects one reference as the current "controller" of price action, highlighted with a dominant-row background in the panel and a thicker line on the chart.
• Confluence grouping — when two or more references sit within 0.5 ATR of each other, they collapse into a single cluster label (for example "D-Open + W-Open + PClose") instead of stacking separate labels on top of each other.
• Distance-aware rendering — references far from current price are demoted to a thin gray zone with a dotted line, keeping them visible as structural context without crowding the active map.
The engine also includes a far-aware state machine: references that price has not meaningfully engaged stay in the Untouched state instead of being forced into misleading classifications.
🔷 METHODOLOGY
Reference levels are pulled directly from the higher timeframe open (Daily, Weekly, Monthly) and the previous daily close using lookahead-safe security calls on confirmed bars.
Distance classification uses ATR(14) as a volatility scale. A reference is considered "near" when price is within a configurable ATR multiple and "far" when it exceeds the far-distance threshold. This adapts the map to both low-volatility ranges and high-volatility expansions without manual tuning.
State transitions are driven by a finite state machine with six states. Key transitions:
• Untouched → 1st Touch when price enters the touch zone (default 0.25 ATR) or wicks through it.
• 1st Touch / Tested → Held when price moves cleanly away from the level on the same side.
• 1st Touch / Tested → Reclaimed when price closes on the opposite side (optionally requiring multi-bar confirmation).
• Any engaged state → Rejected when a large wick rebounds from the level with more than 60 percent wick ratio.
• Held / Rejected → Reclaimed on a confirmed cross.
The control score combines proximity (how close price is to the reference relative to ATR) with a state weight (Reclaimed and 1st Touch score highest, Held scores lowest). The reference with the highest score is tagged as controller; if no reference has meaningful engagement the panel reports No Active Control.
🔶 SIGNALS AND ALERTS
Three alert conditions are exposed:
• Reference Touched — fires the first time any reference is touched in its period.
• Reference Reclaimed — fires when any reference transitions into the Reclaimed state.
• Reference Rejected — fires when a large-wick rejection bar is registered at any reference.
On-chart, first-touch diamond markers are placed on recent bars to make period engagement easy to spot in screenshots and reviews. The panel footer reports the current controller and updates in real time.
🔹 KEY INPUTS
Reference Lines — independent toggles for Daily Open, Weekly Open, Monthly Open, and Previous Close.
Display — Show Active References Only (hide untouched references for a cleaner map), Strict Reclaim Confirmation (require multiple confirmation bars for Reclaim), Label Density (Minimal shows only the dominant reference, Normal shows all active, Detailed appends state names to labels), Show Reaction Bands, Mark First Touches.
Panel — position (four corners), font size, label font size. All default to Normal per AG Pro Series visual standards.
Sensitivity — Touch Threshold (ATR multiple defining a touch), Reclaim Confirm Bars (strict-mode confirmation count), Band Width (reaction band width in ATR), Far Distance (ATR multiple beyond which references are faded to context).
All parameters are ATR-scaled so defaults transfer cleanly across instruments and timeframes.
🔸 HOW TO USE
1. Open the panel and read the controller. If the footer shows "D-Open Controls" with a Bull bias, intraday operators treat Daily Open as the session pivot and trade with that bias until the state changes.
2. Watch the confluence label. A grouped label such as "D-Open + W-Open + PClose" means three references are stacked — a cluster of this kind is typically a higher-conviction zone than a single isolated reference.
3. Use state transitions as triggers. A Rejected state at Monthly Open during a rally is a different signal than a Reclaimed state at the same level. The state tells you what just happened at the level, not just where the level is.
4. Use the far zone as context. A Monthly Open plotted as a gray zone five ATR away from price is not an execution level — it is orientation. When price approaches it, the zone transitions into an active band and the state engine re-engages.
5. Combine with your own structure work. This map is designed to sit underneath price action analysis, order flow, or trend tools, not replace them.
🔷 LIMITATIONS AND TRANSPARENCY
• This is an indicator, not a strategy. No entries, exits, position sizing, or backtesting is performed.
• Reference prices are sourced from higher timeframe candles using confirmed lookahead. Results on intraday charts should match the official Daily, Weekly, and Monthly opens of the exchange the chart is connected to.
• State classifications are heuristic. They describe observed behavior at each level in historical terms and should not be read as forecasts. A Reclaimed state is a description of what just happened, not a prediction of what comes next.
• ATR-based thresholds mean the map adapts to volatility but can feel different on very low-volume or very thinly traded instruments. Adjust the touch threshold and far distance inputs if defaults feel too loose or too tight.
• Confluence grouping uses a 0.5 ATR window. On very wide-range days this window can become large; on very narrow ranges it can feel tight.

AG Pro Previous Day Sweep & Reclaim [AGPro Series]AG Pro Previous Day Sweep & Reclaim
Overview / What it does
AG Pro Previous Day Sweep & Reclaim is an overlay built to map one very specific price behavior around the previous day’s range: a sweep of the Previous Day High (PDH) or Previous Day Low (PDL), followed by a reclaim back inside the level.
The script is designed for traders who want a structured way to observe failed expansion attempts around prior-day liquidity. Instead of treating every break of PDH or PDL as continuation, this tool focuses on the opposite question: when price briefly trades beyond a prior-day extreme and then reclaims that level, is the move showing signs of rejection strong enough to deserve attention?
The core idea is intentionally narrow. This is not a broad market-structure engine, not a support/resistance dashboard, and not a general breakout system. Its purpose is to isolate a specific sequence: sweep -> reclaim -> quality assessment. That single workflow helps keep the script readable and functionally distinct.
Signals can be confirmed on the same bar or on the next bar, depending on user preference. Once a reclaim is confirmed, the script assigns a quality score, draws a directional arrow, prints a reclaim label, and keeps the visual structure compact enough for practical chart work across intraday and higher timeframes.
Unique Edge
The distinguishing feature of this script is that it does not simply plot PDH and PDL, and it does not label every break as meaningful. It attempts to separate ordinary range interaction from failed liquidity grabs by requiring reclaim confirmation and then grading the event.
Its logic is centered on reversal-quality mapping rather than static level display. That means the script does more than show where the previous day’s extremes are located. It evaluates whether the move through those extremes was shallow or excessive, whether the reclaim was weak or decisive, whether wick behavior supports rejection, whether volume was comparatively active, and whether the event occurred inside the selected session context.
Another practical edge is the confirmation flexibility. Some traders prefer immediate reclaim behavior on the same bar. Others want one additional bar for confirmation. This script supports both approaches, plus an Either mode for broader detection.
The visual side is also deliberately managed. Reclaim labels, arrows, guide lines, sweep boxes, label spacing controls, visible label limits, and HTF label filtering are included so the output remains usable instead of turning into uncontrolled chart clutter.
Methodology
The script retrieves the previous day’s high and low and tracks live interaction with those two reference levels.
Bullish reclaim logic begins with a downside sweep:
- price trades below the Previous Day Low
- price then closes back above the Previous Day Low
- confirmation can occur on the same bar, on the next bar, or by either method depending on settings
Bearish reclaim logic mirrors that process:
- price trades above the Previous Day High
- price then closes back below the Previous Day High
- confirmation follows the selected reclaim mode
After confirmation, the script computes a quality score from multiple components. These components are intended to give structure to the event rather than to claim certainty about future direction.
The quality model includes:
- sweep depth relative to ATR
- reclaim strength within the bar range
- rejection wick fraction
- relative volume versus a moving average baseline
- bar range relative to ATR
- urgency factor for same-bar versus next-bar confirmation
- candle body bias
- session participation
The final score is normalized to a 0-100 scale and translated into a simple tier:
- A
- B
- C
- D
This score is not meant to be a prediction engine. It is a ranking tool that helps organize reclaim events by relative quality under the script’s own rules.
Session filtering is available because many traders only want to evaluate sweep-and-reclaim behavior during specific active windows. London, New York, custom sessions, or unrestricted monitoring can be selected.
For chart usability, the script also includes:
- previous day range fill
- optional reclaim guide lines
- optional sweep boxes
- reversal arrows
- reclaim labels
- summary panel
- visible label limits
- HTF smart label filtering
- minimum bar spacing between same-side labels
Signals & Alerts
The script produces two primary confirmed event types:
1. Bullish Previous Day Sweep & Reclaim
A downside sweep through PDL followed by a reclaim back above that level.
2. Bearish Previous Day Sweep & Reclaim
An upside sweep through PDH followed by a reclaim back below that level.
When enabled, the chart can display:
- directional reclaim arrows
- reclaim labels with score, tier, and confirmation mode
- sweep zone boxes
- short reclaim guide lines
Built-in alerts are included for:
- Bullish Previous Day Sweep & Reclaim
- Bearish Previous Day Sweep & Reclaim
These alerts are tied to confirmed reclaim conditions defined by the selected confirmation mode and minimum quality threshold.
Key Inputs
Reclaim Confirmation
Choose whether confirmation must occur on the Same Bar, Next Bar, or Either.
One Signal Per Side / Day
Limits repeated signals of the same side within a single day.
Use Session Filter
Restricts detection to the selected session environment when desired.
Minimum Quality Score
Filters out lower-ranked reclaim events.
ATR Length / Volume SMA Length
Inputs used by the quality model.
Ideal Sweep Depth (ATR) / Maximum Sweep Depth (ATR)
Define how the script evaluates sweep depth quality.
Label and Visual Controls
Manage font size, offset, sweep boxes, guide lines, visible label count, and general chart cleanliness.
HTF Smart Label Filter
Helps reduce label overload on daily, weekly, and monthly charts.
Minimum Bars Between Same-Side Labels
Introduces spacing between repeated bullish or bearish reclaim labels to prevent visual stacking.
Limitations & Transparency
This script is an analytical overlay. It is not a strategy, not an execution model, and not a guarantee of reversal.
A reclaim of PDH or PDL can still fail. Markets can continue trending after a sweep, especially during strong directional conditions, news-driven volatility, or low-liquidity distortions. For that reason, the quality score should be interpreted as an internal event-ranking framework, not as proof of future performance.
Session settings matter. Timeframe context matters. Confirmation mode matters. Label filters also affect what is visible on the chart, especially on higher timeframes. Users should understand that changing these inputs changes the strictness and presentation of the output.
This tool does not use order book data, broker-specific execution data, or hidden liquidity metrics. It works entirely from chart-based price and volume inputs available in Pine.
It is also important to note what this script does not attempt to do:
- it does not classify overall market regime
- it does not replace broader structure analysis
- it does not define entries, stops, or exits for the user
- it does not evaluate multi-level confluence outside its own reclaim framework
In short, it is a focused map for previous-day sweep and reclaim behavior, nothing more and nothing less.
Risk Disclosure
This script is for chart analysis and educational use only. It does not provide financial, investment, legal, or tax advice.
All trading decisions involve risk. Past price behavior around previous-day levels does not guarantee future results. Users should apply their own confirmation process, risk management rules, and market context analysis before acting on any chart signal.
Always test settings carefully and use the tool as one component inside a broader decision-making process, not as a standalone basis for trading.

AG Pro PDH PDL PWH PWL Engine [AGPro Series]AG Pro PDH PDL PWH PWL Engine
Overview / What it does
AG Pro PDH PDL PWH PWL Engine is a price-reference overlay built to track prior day, prior week, and prior month high / low levels in a clean and structured way. The script can display PDH, PDL, PWH, PWL, and optionally PMH / PML, together with midpoint equilibrium levels for the selected ranges.
The main purpose of the script is not to predict direction, generate guaranteed entries, or replace a complete trading plan. Its role is narrower and more practical: it helps traders keep important prior-period reference levels visible on the chart, distinguish which levels remain active, and identify which ones have already been traded through. In many markets, prior highs and lows are widely monitored as liquidity, reaction, and reference areas. This script organizes those areas into a format that is easier to read in live conditions.
A core design goal of this tool is chart hygiene. Many prior-level indicators become visually noisy when several daily, weekly, and monthly references are drawn together. This script was designed to keep the structure readable by using a minimal label system, right-extended lines, a swept / unswept state model, and an optional dashboard that summarizes the nearest active daily, weekly, and monthly levels.
The result is a workflow-oriented overlay that helps with context. Instead of forcing interpretation through aggressive signals, it presents a structured map of where important prior-period levels are located, whether they are still untouched, and whether current price is approaching one of them. That makes it suitable for traders who want an objective level engine rather than a directional prediction tool.
Unique Edge
The script focuses on presentation quality and state clarity rather than simple level plotting. Prior highs and lows are not rare concepts, but the practical usefulness of such levels depends heavily on how they are filtered, displayed, and maintained on the chart. This script aims to improve that usability in several ways.
First, it separates active levels from swept levels. This matters because a previously untouched level and a level that has already been traded through do not carry the same contextual value for many traders. By visually differentiating unswept and swept references, the overlay can help reduce ambiguity when reviewing current structure.
Second, it combines multi-period references in one coherent engine. Daily, weekly, and optional monthly levels can all be displayed together, while preserving a relatively clean visual hierarchy. This is particularly useful for traders who want to see whether current price is interacting with short-term references inside larger higher-timeframe ranges.
Third, it includes proximity logic. The script can highlight levels when price is near them using a threshold defined in ticks, percentage, or ATR terms. This does not imply a trade signal by itself. Instead, it acts as a situational awareness feature that helps traders notice when price is entering a predefined level zone.
Fourth, the script offers session and timezone controls. That allows the user to adapt the level-building logic to the exchange clock or to a chosen session definition. For traders who care about session-based construction and consistency across instruments, this can be an important operational detail.
Finally, the panel is designed as a compact summary rather than a decorative feature. It reports the nearest active daily, weekly, and monthly references, shows counts for active and swept levels, and keeps session / timezone / label mode settings visible. The goal is to reduce chart scanning time and make the script easier to use during live analysis.
Methodology
The engine tracks highs and lows from completed prior periods and then projects those values forward as reference lines. Depending on the enabled settings, it can build:
- Previous Day High and Previous Day Low
- Previous Week High and Previous Week Low
- Previous Month High and Previous Month Low
- Optional equilibrium midpoints for each enabled range
Each level is created only after the relevant source period is completed. In that sense, the level itself is based on completed historical range data. Once created, the line is monitored for its state. If price trades through a high reference or a low reference, the script marks that level as swept and changes its visual treatment accordingly.
The script also maintains historical periods up to the number defined in the settings. This makes it possible to preserve a limited amount of recent structure without keeping an unlimited number of stale objects on the chart.
The equilibrium option adds the midpoint of the corresponding prior range. Some traders use these 50% areas as balance references or as secondary context between the prior high and low. Because that midpoint is optional, the user can keep it visible when needed or disable it for a cleaner chart.
The proximity engine measures how close current price is to an active level using one of three methods:
- Tick distance
- Percentage distance
- ATR-based distance
This feature is meant to flag nearness, not to define trade quality on its own. A prior level being near price does not automatically make the setup actionable. It only states that price is close to a tracked reference according to the selected threshold logic.
States / Signals / Alerts
This script is primarily a level-state and context tool. It is not a directional forecasting model. Its most important outputs are state-based:
1) Active level
A level is considered active when it has been created from a completed prior period and has not yet been traded through by price.
2) Swept level
A level is considered swept when price trades through that reference. Visually separating swept levels from active ones helps the chart communicate which prior references remain untouched.
3) Near-level condition
When enabled, the script can highlight active levels that are close to current price according to the user-defined threshold method. This can help traders focus attention on nearby reference zones without scanning the entire chart manually.
4) Compact dashboard state
The panel summarizes the nearest active daily, weekly, and monthly levels, along with active count, swept count, near count, selected timezone, session configuration, and label mode.
The included alert conditions are intentionally simple and state-based:
- Price is near one of the active levels
- At least one tracked level was swept on the current bar
These alerts are meant to support monitoring. They are not, by themselves, a complete trading trigger. Users should interpret them together with structure, volatility, session context, confirmation rules, and their own risk process.
Why this script can be useful
This script can be useful because prior highs and lows often matter most when they are easy to monitor and hard to misread. In practice, traders do not only need the raw numbers; they need a chart presentation that allows those numbers to remain readable during fast market conditions.
A clean prior-level map can help in several common situations:
- Evaluating whether price is approaching an untouched daily or weekly reference
- Checking whether a local move is happening inside a larger higher-timeframe level framework
- Distinguishing still-relevant references from already-tested ones
- Monitoring potential reaction zones without crowding the chart with excessive objects
- Organizing reference structure across intraday and swing workflows
The script is also designed to remain practical over time. Instead of drawing everything with equal visual importance, it uses state logic and summary logic to keep the display more structured. That can make the tool easier to integrate into a routine where prior-period references are part of the trader's contextual process.
Another useful aspect is that the script stays objective. It does not attempt to label every market move with a strong opinion. It shows completed prior-period levels, their current state, and whether price is approaching them. Many traders prefer this kind of neutral reference framework because it can be combined with other methodologies without forcing one interpretation.
Key Inputs
Timezone
The script can use the exchange timezone or a selected timezone. This affects how period transitions are interpreted.
Use Custom Session Filter
When enabled, highs and lows are built only from bars inside the selected session. This allows the user to adapt the range construction to a chosen session framework.
Session
Defines the custom session window when session filtering is enabled.
Show Previous Day / Week / Month Levels
Each group can be enabled or disabled independently so the user can decide how much structure to display.
Show Equilibrium Midpoints
Adds the 50% midpoint of each enabled prior range.
Historical Periods to Keep
Controls how many past periods remain visible on the chart for each enabled level family.
Proximity Threshold Type
Lets the user define nearness by ticks, percentage, or ATR.
Threshold Value / ATR Length
Controls the sensitivity of the proximity logic.
Highlight Levels When Near
Allows visual emphasis when price approaches an active level.
Line Style and Extension Settings
Controls the appearance of unswept and swept lines and whether active lines extend to the right.
Minimal Label Mode
Allows labels to be turned off, restricted, or shown for active levels, depending on the user's preferred chart cleanliness.
Panel Controls
The dashboard can be enabled or disabled and its size, position, and colors can be adjusted.
Example use cases
This script can be used in different ways depending on the trader's workflow.
Intraday context mapping:
A trader may monitor PDH and PDL together with PWH and PWL to understand whether intraday price is moving into untouched daily liquidity while still operating inside a broader weekly range.
Reaction-zone awareness:
A trader may use near-level highlighting to notice when price is approaching an unswept prior high or prior low and then look for separate confirmation with their own method.
Structure filtering:
A trader may ignore swept references and focus mainly on active levels that remain intact, especially when trying to simplify the chart during live sessions.
Session-based reference building:
A trader who prefers a specific session logic can use the session filter so the constructed ranges better match their market framework.
Dashboard monitoring:
A trader may use the panel as a quick situational summary to identify which daily, weekly, or monthly reference is closest without manually reading every line.
Limitations & Transparency
This script does not know why price interacts with a level. It only identifies prior-period references and tracks whether they are active, near, or swept according to the rules defined in the code.
A prior level is not automatically support or resistance in every market condition. Some reactions are meaningful, some are shallow, and some levels are passed through with little response. For that reason, the script should be treated as a structured reference map rather than a self-sufficient trade decision engine.
The near-level logic depends on user-defined thresholds. Different threshold types and values can materially change how often levels are classified as near. Traders should calibrate these settings according to instrument volatility and their own workflow.
Session and timezone choices also matter. The same market can produce different prior-period values depending on how the session is defined. Users should select settings that match the way they analyze the instrument.
Historical object limits, chart timeframe, and chart compression can influence how dense the display appears. A setting that looks clean on one instrument or timeframe may feel crowded on another. The script provides controls to manage that, but users should still adapt it to their own use case.
The midpoint equilibrium lines are optional because not every trader uses 50% references the same way. Their inclusion does not imply that the midpoint has universal predictive value. It is simply provided as an additional structural reference.
This script is intentionally conservative in what it claims. It does not claim to detect institutional intent, hidden order flow, or guaranteed reversals. It displays prior completed reference levels and their current state on the chart.
Risk Disclosure
This script is for chart analysis and educational use. It does not provide financial advice, investment advice, or trade recommendations.
Prior-period highs, lows, and midpoint references can be useful market context, but they are not guarantees of reaction, reversal, continuation, or liquidity behavior. Market conditions can change quickly, and price can move through any level without producing a tradable setup.
Users should combine this tool with their own confirmation process, execution rules, position sizing framework, and risk management. No indicator should be used as the sole basis for entering or exiting a trade.
Before using any chart tool in live markets, it is important to understand how its settings affect output, how it behaves on the instrument being traded, and how it fits into a broader decision process.
AG Pro PDH PDL PWH PWL Engine is designed to help organize prior-period level information in a cleaner and more operational format. Its value comes from clarity, state tracking, and context support, not from predictive certainty.

Volume & Volatility Companion█ VOLUME & VOLATILITY COMPANION (VVC)
Complete Volume Dynamics & Volatility Analysis
A comprehensive overlay indicator that combines anchored VWAP with standard-deviation bands , Bollinger Squeeze detection , volume strength analysis , and session level tracking — all with automatic timeframe adaptation. It gives you a complete read on volume dynamics and volatility conditions directly on your price chart.
Free and Open Source.
█ THE CONCEPT: WHY VOLUME + VOLATILITY TOGETHER?
Volume and volatility are the two most overlooked edges in technical analysis. Price alone only tells half the story. Volume confirms conviction — a breakout on high volume is real, on low volume it's suspect. Volatility compression (squeeze) precedes explosive moves. VVC brings both dimensions together in one overlay so you never miss these critical signals.
█ CORE FEATURES
1. VWAP + Standard Deviation Bands
The Volume-Weighted Average Price acts as the institutional fair-value anchor:
VWAP Line — Dynamic equilibrium price. Institutions track this level religiously.
Band 1 (1 StdDev) — Inner value zone. Mean-reversion entries when price touches and bounces.
Band 2 (2 StdDev) — Outer extreme zone. Overextension signals when price reaches here.
Configurable anchor period: Session (daily), Week, or Month.
2. Bollinger Squeeze Detection
Detects the classic volatility compression setup where Bollinger Bands contract inside Keltner Channels:
Squeeze ON (red dots) — BB inside KC = low volatility, energy building
Squeeze OFF (cyan dots) — Normal volatility
Squeeze Release (diamond markers) — BB breaks out of KC after sustained compression = breakout imminent
Momentum direction at release determines the breakout bias.
3. Volume Analysis
Classifies each bar's volume relative to its moving average:
EXTREME — Volume > 2.5x average (institutional footprint)
HIGH — Volume > 1.5x average (above-average interest)
NORMAL — Average range
LOW — Volume < 0.5x average (thin market, low conviction)
4. Session Levels
Key reference levels plotted directly on the chart:
Session High/Low — Current intraday range boundaries
Previous Day High/Low — Breakout/rejection levels
Previous Day Close — Settlement level (bias reference)
5. Auto-Timeframe Adaptation
All calculation parameters automatically adjust to your chart timeframe. Toggle to manual mode for full control.
█ DASHBOARD
A compact, dark-themed info panel showing:
VWAP — Current position (ABOVE / BELOW / AT) + value
Squeeze — ON with bar count or OFF
BB Width — Percentage bandwidth for volatility context
Volume — Classification (EXTREME / HIGH / NORMAL / LOW) + ratio vs MA
Session — Current session range in price units
█ ALERTS (4 CONDITIONS)
Bullish Squeeze Release — Squeeze fires with upward momentum
Bearish Squeeze Release — Squeeze fires with downward momentum
Squeeze Building — Consecutive squeeze bars hit threshold
Extreme Volume — Detected on any bar
█ PRO VERSION
The PRO version adds:
MACD Analysis — Full MACD with signal/zero crossovers and divergence detection
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) — Net buying/selling pressure tracking
Bull/Bear Confluence Scoring — Combined score from all modules for directional bias
5 Additional Alerts — MACD crosses, volume confirmation signals
█ NON-REPAINTING
VWAP uses cumulative volume data (non-repainting by design). Bollinger Squeeze uses standard BB/KC calculations. Volume analysis uses simple moving average. Previous day levels use confirmed daily data. No repainting.
█ WORKS ON
Crypto, Forex, Stocks, Futures, Indices — any timeframe from 1 minute to Weekly+.

Previous TPOIndicator Summary
This Pine Script indicator, "Previous TPO," is designed to calculate and display five key price levels from the previous trading day's market activity. It uses a 30-minute TPO (Time Price Opportunity) profile, which is a method of organizing price by time to find areas of high and low activity.
The five levels it plots on the current day are:
1. Previous Value Area High (VAH)
2. Previous Value Area Low (VAL)
3. Previous Point of Control (POC)
4. Previous Initial Balance High (IBH)
5. Previous Initial Balance Low (IBL)
The script is built to be efficient, running its main calculation only once at the beginning of each new day. It also includes an automatic line management system to delete old lines, preventing the "Too many lines" error and keeping the chart clean.
How the Code Works
1. Data Collection: At the start of a new day (00:00), the script looks back at the chart's history. It uses request.security to access 30-minute bar data.
2. Collector Loop: It then loops backward, bar by bar, to find and store 48 unique 30-minute High/Low data points, which represents the full 24-hour range of the previous day.
3. TPO Profile: With this 30-minute data, it builds a TPO profile. It divides the previous day's price range into small bins (price levels) and counts how many 30-minute periods "touched" each price bin.
4. Level Calculation:
o POC: It finds the price bin with the highest TPO count (the most traded price) and sets it as the Point of Control.
o VAH/VAL: It starts at the POC and expands outward, adding the next-most-traded price bins until 70% (or the user-defined percentage) of the day's TPOs are included. The highest and lowest prices of this range are the Value Area High and Value Area Low.
o IBH/IBL: It identifies the high and low of the first hour (the first two 30-minute bars) of the previous day to set the Initial Balance High and Initial Balance Low.
5. Drawing: The script draws these five levels as horizontal lines across the current trading day, providing a constant reference.
6. Line Management: It keeps track of all lines in an array. When the total number of lines exceeds the user's limit (e.g., 50 days * 5 lines = 250), it automatically deletes the oldest lines from the chart.
Usefulness for Trading
This indicator provides a powerful framework for intraday traders by contextualizing the current day's price action against the previous day's "auction."
• Key Support/Resistance: The VAH, VAL, and POC act as significant support and resistance lev-els. Price reacting at these levels can signal mean reversion, while acceptance beyond them can signal a trend or expansion day.
• Value Area as Context: Trading inside the previous day's value area (between VAH and VAL) is often seen as "balanced" or "range-bound" trading. Trading outside of it is "unbalanced" or "trending."
• POC as a "Magnet": The POC, being the area of highest volume/time, often acts as a "magnet" or "center of gravity" for price.
• Opening Range: The Initial Balance (IB) levels show the opening range. A breakout from this range is often a key signal for the day's initial direction.
• 80% Rule: The script contains (currently commented-out) setup logic for the "80% Rule." This is a specific Market Profile strategy where:
1. The market opens inside the previous day's Value Area.
2. The Initial Balance fails to extend outside the VA (e.g., in a short setup, the IB high stays below the VAH).
3. This setup suggests an 80% probability that the price will rotate and test the other side of the Value Area (e.g., test the VAL).
Publication and restrictions
This script is published under the Mozilla Public Licence 2.0 (MPL 2.0) and is therefore suitable for publi-cation as an open source indicator on PulseWire.
Timeframe limitation: The indicator is designed for intraday timeframes. Timeframes below 10 minutes do not work and lead to an error. Recommended time frame 30 minutes.
It will not work correctly on:
Time frame under 10 minutes: The data collection loop (max_bars_to_check = 3000) is not large enough to collect the bars required for a full day on a 5-minute chart or smaller.
High time frames (e.g. 1H, 4H, Daily): The script's logic is based on a chart timeframe 30-minute data that it requests. If higher time frames are selected, the script works but the zones are no longer correct or become irrelevant.

Multi HTF High/Low LevelsThis indicator plots the previous high and low from up to four user-defined higher timeframes (HTF), providing crucial levels of support and resistance. It's designed to be both powerful and clean, giving you a clear view of the market structure from multiple perspectives without cluttering your chart.
Key Features:
Four Customizable Timeframes: Configure up to four distinct higher timeframes (e.g., 1-hour, 4-hour, Daily, Weekly) to see the levels that matter most to your trading style.
Automatic Visibility: The indicator is smart. It automatically hides levels from any timeframe that is lower than your current chart's timeframe. For example, if you're viewing a Daily chart, the 4-hour levels won't be shown.
Clean On-Chart Lines: The high and low for each timeframe are displayed as clean, extended horizontal lines, but only for the duration of the current higher-timeframe period. This keeps your historical chart clean while still showing the most relevant current levels.
Persistent Price Scale Labels: For easy reference, the price of each high and low is always visible on the price scale and in the data window. This is achieved with an invisible plot, giving you the accessibility of a plot without the visual noise.
How to Use:
Go into the indicator settings.
Under each "Timeframe" group, check the "Show" box to enable that specific timeframe.
Select your desired timeframe from the dropdown menu.
The indicator will automatically calculate and display the previous high and low for each enabled timeframe.
