The indicator serves as a multi-layered reference tool for identifying intraday levels of interest. Use the 10:00 AM open as a primary pivot for daily trend confirmation, as price action relative to this level often sets the tone for the remainder of the session. Previous session highs and lows function as important magnets or reversal zones; monitor how price interacts with these levels to determine if momentum is exhaustion based or trending. The overnight range defines the boundaries of the after-hours or pre-market session. Breakouts from these established ranges frequently signal increased volatility at the market open. Additionally, the rejection blocks highlight specific areas where aggressive buying or selling pressure occurred, represented by significant wicks. Traders can use these boxes as potential zones for pullbacks or as areas to look for trade validation. Combining these indicators with volume or trend analysis can help refine entries and identify confluence points where multiple levels align. ## 10am Open Key Levels Settings ### Previous Session Levels * **Trading session**: Defines the time range used to calculate the high and low of the previous day. * **Show previous-session highs/lows**: Toggles the visibility of historical session boundaries on the chart. * **Keep previous sessions**: Determines the number of recent historical high/low pairs to retain on the chart. ### Overnight Range * **Show overnight high/low**: Enables the plotting of the high and low formed during the specified after-hours or pre-market window. * **After-hours / pre-market window**: Specifies the time range used to identify the overnight liquidity levels. * **Keep overnight ranges**: Sets the quantity of recent overnight high/low pairs to keep visible for reference. ### Rejection Blocks * **Rejection-block timeframe**: Selects the timeframe for processing rejection candles, allowing for varied sensitivity. * **Minimum rejection-wick/body ratio**: Sets the threshold for identifying a rejection, requiring the wick to be a specific multiple of the candle body size. * **Swing pivot strength**: Sets the number of bars required on each side to confirm a swing point for rejection analysis. ### Style * Controls the color, width, and visual presentation of all session lines, labels, and rejection boxes to ensure compatibility with different chart settings. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Can I adjust the opening time tracked by the indicator?
