NPOC Advanced - Multi-Timeframe

# NPOC Advanced - Multi-Timeframe Volume POC Levels

## **What is NPOC?**

**NPOC (Naked Point of Control)** is an advanced trading concept that identifies high-activity price zones from completed sessions that haven't been retested yet. This indicator automatically detects POCs (Points of Control) from past Daily, Weekly, and Monthly sessions and transforms them into persistent horizontal levels for precise support/resistance analysis.

## **How It Works**

### **Step 1: POC Calculation**
When a new session begins (Daily/Weekly/Monthly), the indicator:
- Retrieves price data from the completed session (High, Low, Close, Volume)
- Simulates a Volume Profile by dividing the price range into bins
- Applies intelligent weighting based on proximity to session close
- Identifies the bin with highest weighted activity = **POC**

### **Step 2: NPOC Creation**
- Transforms each calculated POC into a **persistent horizontal level**
- Creates visual elements (lines + labels) with timeframe identification
- Starts monitoring price interaction with these levels

### **Step 3: Intelligent Monitoring**
For each NPOC level, the indicator continuously tracks:
- **Proximity**: When price approaches within tolerance zone
- **Touches**: When price interacts with the level
- **Retests**: Multiple confirmed touches (validates the level)
- **Breakouts**: When price definitively breaks through

### **Step 4: Automatic Cleanup**
NPOCs are automatically removed when:
- **≥2 confirmed retests** (level validated and respected)
- **Confirmed breakout** (level invalidated)
- **Maximum limit reached** (oldest levels removed first)

## **Key Features**
