Trailing Peak Activity Level

Trailing Peak Activity Level compresses the session's volume story into one decisive line: the price of the day's highest-volume bar, treated as a live point of control that trails price while the session unfolds. An optional ATR-scaled filter blocks trivial updates: with Sensitivity raised above its default of 0, a new peak only replaces the old one when record volume arrives and price has displaced far enough, so the level holds steady instead of flickering. For day traders who find a full volume profile heavier than the job requires, it keeps the single most meaningful level actionable.

How to Trade the Trailing Peak Activity Level?

• Price above the level: the session's busiest price sits underneath. Treat it as data-driven intraday support and watch how dips into it are defended.
• Price below the level: rallies back into the level meet the day's heaviest positioning, a natural resistance and invalidation line.
• Level steps up, plotted green: the peak just shifted upward; participation is accepting higher prices.
• Level steps down, plotted red: the peak migrated lower; value is being repriced downward.
• Dotted vertical line: drawn only at a session start, linking the prior session's final level to the new session's starting level, green when the new level starts higher and red when lower.

Everything resets at the start of each new trading day, so every session opens with a clean read. The dashboard reports the current Peak Level and the session's Max Volume at a glance.

Trailing Peak Activity Level Settings

• Sensitivity: the ATR multiplier defining how far price must displace before a new peak can print; raise it for fewer, more meaningful updates, lower it for faster response.
• ATR Length: the lookback for the Average True Range behind the volatility filter.
• Dashboard, Position, Size: toggle the info table and set its corner and scale.
