Appears in TradingView as Liquidity Paradigm [NINE Θ]

Quick start

The risk with a levels tool is drawing all of them. Start with the filter.

Leave Limit Draws to Price Band on. Without it, distant levels stretch your chart scale and everything near price gets compressed.
Set Historical Days to 2 and leave it there until you miss something.
Check Session day roll matches your market — 18:00 for futures. It defines where day and week boundaries fall.
Turn on Extend Until Broken if you want levels to project forward as rays and stop where price closes through them.

Global

Timezone and the filter that keeps the chart usable.

Custom Timezone off

Overrides the chart timezone for session boundaries.

Limit Draws to Price Band on

Only draws levels within range of recent price. Turn off and every level becomes visible, which will stretch the scale if auto-scale is on.

Historical Days 2

How far back levels are retained.

Session day roll (hour) 18

Futures-style extended session: a new day starts at this hour. Sunday 18:00 becomes Monday. This sets where PD and PW boundaries and weekday labels fall — get it wrong and every day level is off by one.

Session Levels

Four sessions, their highs and lows, and optional bar colouring.

Show High/Low Lines on

The session extremes themselves, one colour per session.

Label Type Session Name

Session Name or None.

Delete on Mitigation off

Removes a session level once price trades through it. On, the chart only ever shows levels that still matter.

Extend off

Projects session levels to the right.

Enable Session Bar Colors off

Colours the candles themselves by active session, with Override Body controlling whether bodies or just outlines are tinted. Striking, and heavy — most charts do not need it.

Day and Week Levels

Previous day and previous week extremes.

Show Previous Day High/Low on

PDH and PDL, with independent colours and labels.

Show Previous Week High/Low on

PWH and PWL.

Historical Days · Weeks 2 · 2

How many prior days and weeks are kept.

Extend Until Broken off

Levels project right as a ray until price closes through, then stop at that bar. Off, they are finite segments. On is the more honest display — it shows you exactly where a level died.

Show Prices in Labels off

Appends the price to each label.

Show Dates in Labels on

Appends the date, so you can tell which day a level came from at a glance.

Swing Liquidity

Pivot-based buyside and sellside levels — the core of the tool.

Liquidity Type Both

Both, Buyside or Sellside.

Amount of Valid Levels to Display 3

Maximum active, unfilled levels per side. Three per side is already six lines.

Hide Filled on

Hides swept levels. Turn off to keep them in a separate style, with Amount of Filled to Display capping how many at 20.

Extend Liquidity Until Filled on

Active levels extend right until price fills them.

Show Chart TF Liquidity on

Detects pivots on your chart timeframe. Disable to show higher-timeframe liquidity only — a good move on low timeframes.

HTF 1 · HTF 2 both off

Two higher-timeframe liquidity sets, off by default.

Labels on

Each label can carry Price, TF in brackets such as [M30], Day of the week the level formed, and Side.

The label is the context

Turning on TF and Day costs nothing and changes how you read the chart: a level from Friday on the 30-minute is a different proposition from one formed an hour ago, and without the label they look identical.

Equal Highs and Lows

Repeated levels, and the recurring variant.

Show EQL/EQH Levels off

Equal highs and lows — consecutive swing pivots forming at the same price.

Show REQH/REQL Levels on

Recurring equal highs and lows: a new equal level forming at a price that was already swept once. On by default because it is the rarer and more meaningful of the two.

Smooth Body Opens

Candles that open at their own extreme.

Show Smooth Body Open Levels off

Marks levels where a candle opened at its extreme with minimal wick on the open side, with separate bullish and bearish colours.
