Previous Day High/Low Levels [OWI]📘 How to Use the “Previous Day High/Low Levels ” Indicator
This TradingView indicator automatically tracks and displays the previous day's high and low during the Regular Trading Hours (RTH) session. It’s perfect for traders who want to visualize key support/resistance levels from the prior day in futures like CME_MINI:NQ1! and COMEX:GC1! .
🛠 Setup Instructions
1. Customize RTH Session Times
- In the Settings panel, adjust the following under the Levels group:
- RTH Start Hour and RTH Start Minute: Default is 9:30 AM (New York time).
- RTH End Hour and RTH End Minute: Default is 4:15 PM.
- These define the active trading session used to calculate the day’s high and low.
2. Toggle Labels
- Use the Show PDH/PDL Labels checkbox to display or hide the “PDH” and “PDL” labels on the chart.
- Labels appear after the session ends and follow price dynamically.
📊 What the Indicator Does
- During the RTH session:
- Tracks the highest and lowest price of the day.
- After the session ends:
- Draws horizontal lines at the previous day’s high (green) and low (red).
- Optionally displays labels ("PDH" and "PDL") at those levels.
- Lines extend into the current day to help identify potential support/resistance zones.
✅ Best Practices
- Use this indicator on intraday timeframes (e.g., 5m, 15m, 1h) for best results.
- Combine with volume or price action analysis to confirm reactions at PDH/PDL levels.
- Adjust session times if trading non-US markets or custom hours.
