Custom Price Levels and Averages

17 nov 2023

The "Custom Price Levels and Averages" indicator is a versatile tool designed for TradingView. It dynamically calculates and displays key price levels based on user-defined parameters such as distance percentages and position size. The indicator plots three ascending and descending price levels (A, B, C, X, Y, Z) around the last candle close on a specified timeframe. Additionally, it provides the average price for both upward and downward movements, considering the user's specified position size and increase factor. Traders can easily customize the visual appearance by adjusting colors for each plotted line. This indicator assists in identifying potential support and resistance levels and understanding the average price movements within a specified trading context.
Avoid SL hunting by acumulating your position with scaled orders.
