All Time High (ATH) Levels

All Time High (ATH) Levels turns an instrument's record book into a chart overlay, plotting a user-defined number of historical all-time highs as horizontal levels and grading each one as support or resistance with a strength percentage. Duration and distance filters strip out fleeting or stacked records, leaving only the peaks the market genuinely respects.

How to Trade the All Time High (ATH) Levels?

  • "R" levels: price has spent most of its time below the level. Treat it as resistance and watch retests for rejection.
  • "S" levels: price holds above the level, so it leans support; pullbacks into it are natural places to look for a reaction.
  • Strength percentage: readings from 99% down to 50% mark levels tested often as support or resistance; below 50% is less decisive, while a perfect 100% means the level was seldom tested.

Recent records tend to cap price while older, long-reclaimed highs act as a base, which is why the filtering matters: demand a longer minimum duration and wider spacing and the chart reduces to a handful of meaningful lines instead of dozens. The result slots neatly alongside the rest of the library's level tools.

All Time High (ATH) Levels Settings

  • Show Last ATH: how many recent all-time highs stay on the chart.
  • ATH Minimum Duration: bars a record must persist before it qualifies. Raise it to keep only significant peaks.
  • Minimum Distance Between ATH: spacing filter in ATR multiples that removes closely stacked levels; enabling it can introduce repainting.
  • Show SR%: toggles the support/resistance classification and strength percentage.
  • Minimum %: hides levels graded below your threshold.
