Key Levels
These are significant price levels derived from higher timeframe opens, highs, and lows — the levels institutions watch closely.
Available levels:
4H — Previous 4H High, Low, Open, Mid
Daily — Previous Day High (PDH), Previous Day Low (PDL), Daily Open (DO)
Monday — Monday High, Low, Mid (useful for weekly range analysis)
Weekly — Previous Week High (PWH), Previous Week Low (PWL), Weekly Open (WO)
Monthly — Previous Month High/Low/Open
Quarterly — Previous Quarter High/Low/Open
Yearly — Current Year High/Low/Open
How to use it:
Enable only the timeframes relevant to your trading style
Each level has its own color and line style — customize to reduce visual clutter
Shorten option abbreviates the label text (e.g., "PDH" instead of "Previous Day High")
If two levels fall at the same price, the labels merge automatically showing both names — a strong confluence signal
Session Levels
Marks the High, Low, and Open of the three major trading sessions.
Sessions available:
London (08:00–16:00)
New York (14:00–21:00)
Tokyo/Asia (00:00–09:00)
How to use it:
Enable each session independently
Toggle O/C (Open/Close) and H/L (High/Low) separately per session
The Shorten option gives abbreviated labels (e.g., "Lon-H" vs "London High")
Dealing Range
The Dealing Range shows the current trading range based on the highest high and lowest low over the last 200 bars, split into a premium (upper) and discount (lower) zone.
What it shows:
Upper half (red) — Premium zone, where price is considered expensive (look for sells)
Lower half (green) — Discount zone, where price is considered cheap (look for buys)
The midpoint divides premium from discount
How to use it:
The range displays as a small box to the right of price (offset-controlled)
Use it to determine whether you should be looking for buy setups (price in discount) or sell setups (price in premium)
Combine with OBs and FVGs — a bullish OB in the discount zone is a high-probability long setup
Point of Control (POC)
The POC is the price level with the highest traded volume over the lookback period — a key magnet level.
What it shows:
A single horizontal line at the highest-volume price node
"POC" label at the end of the line
How to use it:
Enable/disable the line and label independently
Customize line style (Solid, Dashed, Dotted), width, and color
Price tends to gravitate toward the POC — it acts as both a magnet and a mean-reversion target
If price is far from the POC, there's a statistical tendency for it to return
Trendlines
Automatically draws valid trendlines connecting swing highs and swing lows.
What it shows:
Descending trendlines connecting lower highs
Ascending trendlines connecting higher lows
Broken trendlines shown in a different style
Optional signals (X marks) where trendlines are broken
How to use it:
Lookback controls how far back the indicator searches for pivot points — higher values find more significant trendlines
Extend projects trendlines forward
Show Broken keeps broken trendlines visible in a different style (e.g., dashed) so you can see where breaks occurred
Max Broken limits how many broken trendlines stay on the chart
Mitigation — choose whether a trendline is broken by Close or by High/Low wick
Enable Show Signals to plot visual markers when a trendline is broken — useful for alerting
Market Structure Background Color
A subtle background color that reflects the current market bias.
Green background — Bullish structure (BOS to the upside has occurred)
Purple background — Bearish structure (BOS to the downside has occurred)
Enable/disable with the Show Market Structure Bg Color toggle. Useful for quick at-a-glance trend direction, Its great for filtering the trend following signals from the Aslan Signal Engine.
Displacement Candles
Displacement candles are abnormally large, high-momentum candles that signal a strong shift in market sentiment — often the candle that creates a Fair Value Gap.
What it shows:
Highlighted candles (color change) when a displacement occurs
Works on both bullish and bearish displacement
How to use it:
Set Displacement Type to measure either the candle body or the full candle including wicks
Displacement Strength (0–3) controls how aggressive the filter is — higher = rarer, stronger signals
Enable Structure Filter to only show displacement candles that occur near a BOS or MSS event — this dramatically improves signal quality
A displacement candle followed by a pullback into the FVG it created is one of the cleanest entry setups in SMC trading
