Auto Levels Technical Indicator locates important levels of support and resistance for day traders

Auto-Levels Indicator

Hi guys, 

As you’ve heard me say before, technical indicators are vital if they save us time and limit our mistakes.

We don’t get too excited about fancy signals and hard-to-read indicators, so we remain very selective for what we allow to take up valuable real estate on our charts.

One of the most important tools we use as day traders are support and resistance levels.

When you combine important levels of support and resistance with high-percentage price patterns and some simple rules you get a recipe for HUGE success.

Our foundation for this success starts each day with our auto-levels indicator.

I will admit, for years I added levels manually.  

many of you watched me do this back in the early days, well those days of hard labor behind the desk are over, and we now have it all automated.

The beautiful thing about the auto-levels indicator is that it plots all the most important levels that I am going to use today:

– Major Levels of Support &Resistance (Red Line)
– Double-Tops & Double-Bottoms (Yellow Line)
– Big Round Numbers (Orange Line)

Our main focus is to identify the best price levels, and take trades around them with our simple patterns.

In addition, we also need to know what to avoid, which means trading around DT/DB’s and Big Round Numbers.

This indicator always has the best levels waiting for me, and that is the first step towards my day trading success.

this indicator comes included with advanced membership

    Here’s how it works:
    ·         Download the indicator in the NEW Indicators on the Advanced Course
    o   You do not need to un-install the previous versions of this indicator
    o   All you need to do is click on the download link, you do NOT need to import this indicator like others have required in the past.  It will do everything you need when you simply click the download link, I promise J
    ·         Open your Ninja Trader Charts
    ·         Connect to the market
    ·         Open a new chart, preferably a 34-range chart to work as your SLOW timeframe
    o   Load the chart template:  TradeRoom_Slow_XX
    §  (XX) Each template will be market-specific, so be sure to select the correct version of this template to match the market you are day trading
    o   Once the template is loaded, press F5 on the Slow Chart, this will engage the indicator to find the levels.
    o   FYI:  If you do NOT see the correct levels, you may need to re-set the indicator:
    §  Delete the file for the specific market from this folder:
    ·         D:Documents and SettingsUserMy DocumentsNinjaTrader 6.5templates
    ·         (Line_Files_CL, for example)
    §  Once that file is deleted, press F5 on the slow chart once again, and this will re-set the indicator, and should now show the correct levels on the slow chart.
    ·         You will see all three colored lines, Red, Yellow and Orange
    ·         Open a second chart, preferably a 4-range or 13-range chart to work as your FAST timeframe
    o   Load the chart template:  TradeRoom_Fast
    §  You will use TradeRoom_Fast for every market; do not use a specific template like you will for the slow chart.
    o   Once this template is loaded, you should see the SAME levels from your slow chart have been added automatically to this new Fast chart.
    o   FYI:  If your fast chart does NOT match your slow chart, you simply need to re-set the indicator.
    Instructions on how to Re-set Your Auto-Levels Indicator:
    If your fast chart does NOT match your slow chart levels, you may need to re-set the indicator
    1.        Locate the Auto Levels file for the market you are trading in this folder:
    a.        D:Documents and SettingsUserMy DocumentsNinjaTrader 6.5templates
    2.       Delete this file.  Yes, DELETE IT. 
    a.       (Line_Files_CL, for example)
    3.       Locate your Slow Chart
    a.       Press F5 on the slow chart
    b.      This should make that file re-appear in the folder listed above (Line_Files_CL, for example)
    4.       Now locate the Fast Chart
    a.       Press F5 on the Fast Chart
    b.      This should now show the SAME levels on the fast chart as you have located on your slow chart.
    c.       If this does NOT fix this problem, repeat steps 1-4 again.

      Well AUTO R/S after build can be use but not for readjust the level if can be adjust it will lost the meaning of AUTO R/S, also wont really show the correct level of S/R.
      So Please dont try to twist the real meaning of AUTO RESISTANCE AND SUPPORT

      Well AUTO RESISTANCE SUPPORT indicator should be a fix setting should not be able to be adjust. If can be adjusted what is the meaning of Auto , why still want to name it AUTO ? When I name it Auto R/S mean was set.
      I voice it out here was just dont like to see the Auto R/S first create by me been twist.
