Multi-Time Frame Analysis
High Time Frame (HTF) Levels : The indicator tracks critical trading levels over multiple days, specifically at 20, 40, and 60-day intervals. This functionality is essential for identifying long-term trends and significant support and resistance levels that aid in strategic decision-making for swing traders and positional traders.
Low Time Frame (LTF) Levels : It monitors price movements within 20, 40, and 60-hour intervals on lower time frames. This granularity provides a detailed view of intraday price actions, which is crucial for scalping and short-term trading strategies favored by day traders.
Daily Open Integration : The indicator includes the daily opening price, providing a crucial reference point that reflects the market's initial sentiment. This feature helps traders assess the market's direction and volatility, enabling them to make informed decisions based on the day's early movements, which is particularly useful for day trading strategies.
IPDA Reference Points : By leveraging IPDA's 20, 40, and 60-period lookbacks, the tool identifies Key Highs and Lows, which are used by IPDA as Draw On Liquidity. IPDA is an electronic and algorithmic system engineered for achieving price delivery efficiency, as taught by ICT. These reference points serve as benchmarks for understanding institutional trading behavior, allowing traders to align their strategies with the dominant market forces and recognize institutional key levels.
Dynamic Updates and Overlap Management : The indicator is updated daily at the beginning of a new daily candle with the latest market data, ensuring that traders operate with the most current information. It also features intelligent overlap management that prioritizes the most relevant levels based on the timeframe hierarchy, reducing visual clutter and enhancing chart readability.

This includes toggles for visibility, line styles, color selections, and label display preferences. These customization options ensure that the tool can adapt to various trading styles and preferences, enhancing user experience and analytical capabilities.
User-Friendly Interface : The tool is designed with a user-friendly interface that includes clear, concise labels for all significant levels. It supports various font families and sizes, making it easier to interpret and act upon the displayed data, ensuring that traders can focus on making informed trading decisions without being overwhelmed by unnecessary information.

The indicator is segmented into two key functionalities:
LTF Displays : The Low Time Frame (LTF) settings are exclusive to timeframes up to 1 hour, providing detailed analysis for intraday traders. This is crucial for traders who need precise and timely data to make quick decisions within the trading day.

Rounded Forex Levels: Big-Figure, Mid-Figure, 80-20 levels, BFRNSimple indicator to show Rounded levels in typical Forex pairs: Big figure, Mid-figure, 80-20 Insitutional Levels, 10pip levels, 5pip levels
Wrote this indicator because other ones out there seem to clutter the chart. This is simple, low-clutter and can be set by user to have arbitrary start and end points for the lines.
I wanted the ability for lines to plot discreetly to the right hand side of price as in the chart above, since in my opinion, these are only of secondary consideration to a trader, an extra confirmation/confluence to an existing idea.
//Purpose & Usage:
-Big-figure levels (100pips) & Mid-figure levels (50pips) will have a senstitivity to price, that can be an additional tool when looking for confluence for a target or an entry.
-As well as BF levels and MF levels; Institutional levels (20pips below and 20 pips above a Big Figure level) and standard 10pip or 5pip levels, can be useful in the right context (i.e added confirmation that of a minor sweep target; added conviction in an idea if the level aligns with another seperately derived level).
//User inputs:
-Toggle on/off each of the types of level.
-Line spacing: choose pip spacing of lines .
-Number of lines above/below (i.e. setting of 5 will be 11 lines. One central, 5 above, 5 below).
-Formatting: for each class of lines, code by color, style and width (as per the example chart below).
-Line start offset and line end offset: bars forward/back for each of start point and end point. So lines could be spread right across chart; or neatly pushed to the far right or left of the chart.
//Notes:
-Designed for typical Forex pairs with units close to 1.0 (like Eur/Usd, Usd/Cad, Aud/Usd, Gbp/Usd, Eur/Gbp, Nzd/Usd).
-Lines are based from the rounded close of the previous bar, Updating (if applicable) on each new bar.

(AKA round numbers, Perfect Price Levels-PPL)
Institutional Price Levels (IPL) script shows the closest round numbers from the current price.
Some traders uses round numbers as a support resistance levels.
For example: 0.000 0.500 1.000 levels. Additional levels are 0.200 0.800.
So I made a simple script that shows round numbers and the quarter levels(Not exactly quarter but minor levels)
Quarter level option is planned on next update.
Default range is 300 pips and you can extend until 500 pips range.
Time range is extandable to the right and left side. You can just extend the line by increasing the bar numbers.
Inputs:
Show levels - Can show and hide all levels. Level colors are optional.
Show quarter - Can show and hide minor levels which is 0.800 0.200 levels. Colors are optional
Show more levels - Can show and hide more levels. Default range is 300 pips. Additional 200 pips range is optional.
Extend right bars - Can set length of levels to the right side.
Extend left bars - Can set length of levels to the left side.
Thank you.
