Trailing Peak Activity Level
By LuxAlgoMar 20, 2026
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 ATR-scaled filter blocks trivial updates: 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.
- Green dotted vertical line: the peak just shifted upward; participation is accepting higher prices.
- Red dotted vertical line: the peak migrated lower; value is being repriced downward.
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.
