How it works
Identify Key Price Levels with Institutional Precision
The Intraday Levels Indicator automatically calculates and displays critical support and resistance zones, giving you insight into where professional traders are likely to act.
- 1. Multi-Timeframe Pivot Points
-
The indicator calculates a comprehensive set of pivot points across daily, weekly, and monthly timeframes. These levels—including central pivot (PP), support (S1, S2, S3), and resistance (R1, R2, R3)—are derived from previous period price action and represent areas where institutional traders often place orders. Having all timeframes visible simultaneously helps you identify confluent zones where multiple levels align.
- 2. Average Daily Range Projections
-
Using the past 20 trading days as a baseline, the indicator calculates the Average Daily Range (ADR) for your instrument. It then projects extension levels based on percentages of the ADR from the opening price. These dynamic levels are particularly valuable for volatile markets where static support/resistance may be less effective, helping you establish realistic daily profit targets and stop placements.
- 3. Prior Period OHLC Levels
-
The indicator clearly marks the previous day's open, high, low, close, extending them through the current session. These critical reference points often create powerful support/resistance zones, especially during the first few hours of trading. Institutional algorithms frequently target these levels for stop runs or reversal plays, making them essential for any serious trader to monitor.
- 4. Flexible Timeframe Integration
-
The indicator seamlessly adapts to any chart timeframe from tick charts to daily bars, maintaining consistent level calculations regardless of your preferred trading style. This versatility makes it equally valuable for scalpers working with minute charts and swing traders using longer timeframes, providing reliable support and resistance levels that maintain their significance across different time perspectives.

Use Cases
3 Powerful Ways to Trade Intraday Levels
Our NT8 Intraday Levels indicator creates multiple high-probability trading opportunities for futures day traders.
Level Rejection Strategy
When price approaches a significant level (pivot point, prior day high/low, and shows rejection with confirming price action such as a reversal candle pattern, it creates a high-probability counter-trend opportunity. Enter at the first sign of rejection with a stop just beyond the level for optimal risk/reward.
- Target: The next significant level in the opposite direction
- Best for: Range-bound markets or during consolidation phases
- Especially effective at daily and weekly pivot levels
Level Breakout Strategy
When price decisively breaks through a significant level with increased momentum and volume, it often signals the start of a strong directional move. Enter in the direction of the breakout after a successful retest of the broken level, using the level itself as your reference for stop placement.
- Target: The next major level in the breakout direction
- Best for: Trending markets following news catalysts
- Most reliable when breaking monthly levels or prior period extremes
Confluence Zone Strategy
When multiple levels from different timeframes or calculation methods align at a similar price, it creates a zone of heightened significance. These confluence areas offer the highest probability setups. Enter when price reacts to a confluence zone with confirmation, using a tighter stop due to the zone's importance.
- Target: The next significant confluence zone in the trade direction
- Best for: All market conditions when clear confluence is identified
- Perfect for precise entry timing with minimal risk exposure

- Absolutely. You have complete control over which timeframes (daily, weekly, monthly) and which specific levels (PP, S1-S3, R1-R3, etc.) are displayed. This allows you to reduce chart clutter by showing only the levels most relevant to your trading strategy.
- Does the indicator work in all market conditions?
- Yes, the indicator is effective across all market conditions. In trending markets, the level breakout strategy works particularly well, while in ranging markets, the level rejection strategy tends to be more profitable. The confluence zones provide high-probability setups regardless of market direction.
- What timeframes work best with this indicator?
- The indicator works across all timeframes, but most traders find it most valuable on 5-minute to 30-minute charts for day trading futures. For swing trading applications, 1-hour to 4-hour charts provide a clearer view of the key levels across multiple sessions.
