π©Tips & Best Practices
Less is more. Don't enable every level at once. Start with the timeframes most relevant to your trading style and add more as needed.
Use color coding. The default colors (blue = daily, green = weekly, purple = monthly, red = yearly) provide instant visual separation. Customize them to match your chart theme if desired.
Stagger your line lengths. The defaults already do this (25/35/45/55), which makes it easy to tell at a glance which timeframe a level belongs to.
Use Label Only mode for timeframes you want to reference but don't need cluttering the chart with full lines.
Midpoints are powerful. The 50% retracement between a period's high and low often acts as a magnet for price. Yesterday's midpoint and this year's midpoint are particularly useful.
VWAP as trend filter. Price trading above the Weekly/Monthly VWAP generally indicates bullish conditions; below indicates bearish. Use this as a directional bias filter.
Set alerts, don't stare. Use the alert system to notify you when price crosses key levels so you can step away from the screen.
Dashboard as a cheat sheet. Enable the dashboard to see all your active levels at a glance without needing to hover over individual lines.
Troubleshooting
Lines aren't showing up
Make sure the master toggle for that timeframe group is enabled (e.g., Enable Daily Price Levels).
Check that "Label Only (No Lines)" is not enabled if you want to see lines.
Ensure the individual level toggle is on (e.g., Show Today's Opening Price).
VWAP line isn't visible
Daily VWAP only shows on today's candles.
Weekly VWAP only displays on intraday timeframes.
Monthly, 3-Month, 6-Month, and Yearly VWAPs may be hidden on the first bar of their reset period.
Labels are overlapping
Adjust the Label Shift values for each timeframe in Line Settings.
Adjust the Price Label Offset to space out price values.
Use different VWAP Label Offset values to stagger VWAP labels.
Alerts aren't firing
Ensure the parent timeframe toggle is enabled (alerts won't fire if the timeframe group is disabled).
Verify you selected the correct direction (crossing above vs. below).
Make sure the TradingView alert was created with the correct condition selected.
Dashboard is too large / too small
Change the Text Size setting (Tiny through Huge, or Auto).
Disable timeframe groups you don't need in the dashboard include toggles.
FAQ
Q: Does this indicator repaint? A: The current-period High and Low levels update in real time as new highs/lows are made β this is expected behavior, not repainting. Opening prices and previous-period levels are fixed and do not change.
Q: Can I use this on any asset? A: Yes. Multi-Timeframe Key Levels works on stocks, crypto, forex, futures, indices, and commodities β any asset available on TradingView.
Q: What timeframe should I use this on? A: It works on any chart timeframe. The levels are derived from higher timeframes (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly), so they remain consistent regardless of your chart's timeframe.
Q: Can I set multiple alerts at once? A: Yes. Enable multiple alert toggles in the settings, then create a single TradingView alert. The alert message will dynamically tell you which specific level was crossed.
Q: Why is my VWAP different from TradingView's built-in VWAP? A: Minor differences can occur due to the price source used in the calculation and rounding to the instrument's tick size. The indicator rounds all values to the nearest tick for clean display.
