Round Levels

Description

This indicator displays round numbers for any chart.

Round Levels, also known as Psychological levels, are key levels where price may act as support or resistance.

Parameters:

  • Colour                  - The colour of each level, as a string.
  • Opacity (%)          - The opacity of each level as a percentage, between 0 and 100, where 0 is fully transparent and 100 is fully opaque.
  • Thickness            - The thickness of each level.
  • Maximum Levels - The maximum number of levels on either side of the starting level.
  • Step Value (pips) - The distance between each level, in pips.
