Overnight & ETH Levels

Overnight & ETH Levels freezes the overnight and ETH levels — the extremes formed outside regular hours — at the regular-session open and extends them across the day. The overnight window (18:00–09:30 New York time by default) supplies the overnight high, low, and midpoint (ONH, ONL, ON Mid); an optional pre-market window adds PMH and PML. While a window forms, its running extremes draw as dotted developing lines, and a dashboard classifies where the regular session opened relative to the overnight range and walks every level through untested, tested, broken, and faded states.

How to Trade the Overnight & ETH Levels?

• Open above ONH / below ONL: an out-of-range open — watch for acceptance or the fade back inside; both open-location alerts fire at the bell.
• Broken: a close beyond a level is acceptance in the break's direction.
• Faded: a close back inside after a break is the failed-break read — the classic cue for rotation back across the range.
• ON Mid reached: overnight inventory corrected back to the middle of the range.

Each level carries test and break alerts, the overnight extremes add fade alerts, and the midpoint has a touch alert.

Overnight & ETH Levels Settings

• Timezone (default America/New_York): the clock the session windows run on; Exchange uses the symbol's own timezone.
• Overnight (ETH) Session (default 1800-0930): the US index futures convention; the stock equivalent is 1600-0930.
• Regular Session (RTH) (default 0930-1600): where the levels freeze and are tracked.
• Pre-Market Session (default enabled, 0400-0930): also track PMH and PML.
• Display toggles — Overnight High / Low, Overnight Midpoint, Developing Levels, Fill Overnight Range, Level Labels, Show Dashboard — all enabled by default.
• Style inputs set per-level colors, the range fill color, and Line Width (default 1).

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are my levels missing?

Two requirements: an intraday chart, since session windows cannot resolve on daily and higher timeframes, and extended-hours data enabled — otherwise the overnight window holds no bars, and the dashboard says so explicitly.

What do tested, broken, and faded mean exactly?

Tested is an intrabar touch of a previously untested level; broken is a close beyond it; faded is a close back inside after a break. Broken colors in the break's direction and faded in the reclaim's.

What pairs well with the overnight map?

A value reference completes it: an Anchored VWAP started at the regular-session open or at an overnight extreme shows whether trade around ONH or ONL is being accepted by average price or merely probed.
