Intraday POI (HTF OHLC lines)

Subscribe
Description

I present to you my intraday POI indicator

it will give you a macro view on lower timeframes

Perfect for Scalping and Daytrading

 

15 min (click for preview)

5 min (click for preview)

 

Options:

  • 3 different (customizable) Timeframes with:
    • previous high and low lines(option to fill them)
    • previous close line
    • current open line
    • HLC3 (pivot) line
    • 61% extension lines (often used as TP)

You can also set the min and max resolution on wich they will show up.

ALL options and timeframes can be turned on/off separately.

NONE of the lines is selectable on chart!

- Not working on 1min chart

- Don't set any Timeframe to < 1H

 

Suggestions on how to trade

Watch out how price reacts at these levels

- price above the open/hlc3 line -> consider going long, if below -> consider going short

- price hits a line and RSI is OB/OS, it tends to reject

- price above the HL-Band, its considered overbought. price below is considered oversold

Good indicator, customizable and clean.

OK
Okaforsamuel007 · 3 years ago

I likethis indicator. Can you add the name of the weekday. Also, can you make a video of how to use it based on any settings of your choice?

PR
procumulative@gmail.com · 4 years ago

Yes, I use this from now on...

Could u the look back period do individually for each timeframe?
Could u add up/down tick volume profile (daily, weekly) based on the timeframe look back period...

DO
DontMatter · 4 years ago

Thats the logic lol

I Think its actually not possible to set minvalue for Timeframe in Indicator Settings (or at least i couldn't figure out how it can be done), therefore i added that message to prevent a messed up chart.

HI,

that added logic to prevent setting any Timeframe to < 1H dont work.

I get a message "Iintraday POI; don set TF under H1

Thanks

 

 

DO
DontMatter · 4 years ago

why would you set timeframe to 5min ? Indicator is intended to give macro view (1H+) on lower timeframes.

 

I added some logic to prevent this

Hi, sorry but can you edit which Lines are what? Colour? Thank

actually no, but i will add that option too

Hi, sorry but can you edit which Lines are what? Colour? Thanks

3 different (customizable) Timeframes with:

  • previous high and low bands (option to fill them)
  • previous close line
  • current open line
  • HLC3 (pivot) line
  • 61% extension lines (often used as TP)

i will try when i get time

IandelMar · 4 years ago

Hi, can you make for this some signals that i can see

- price above the open/hlc3 line -> consider going long, if below -> consider going short

- price above the HL-Band, its considered overbought. price below is considered oversold

Or also display the names of the Lines..that would be great

 

i hope you like corona beer

Hi what do you think about it to make a cbot from it?
