Detecting Round Price Levels with Alerts

Summary

The document describes an indicator that identifies round-number price levels across the historical range of a selected currency pair. Its premise is that traders may pay attention to psychologically salient prices, such as levels ending in several zeros, and that market behavior may change around them. The indicator reports detected levels through configurable alerts, including on-screen messages, sound, push notifications, and email.

Available settings control which notification types are enabled, the sound file and alert text, how many trailing zeros define a round level, and the pause in minutes between signals. The document offers no chart study, performance results, or statistical evidence to establish that these levels predict price reactions. It presents a monitoring tool based on a behavioral rationale, so traders would need to evaluate its signals in their own markets and avoid treating round levels as confirmed entry or exit signals.

Key ideas

• The indicator marks round-number price levels throughout a currency pair’s historical price range.
• Traders can choose among sound, on-screen, push, and email notifications.
• Settings determine the round-level precision and the minimum interval between alerts.
• The document gives a psychological rationale but no empirical test of predictive value.
