The Important Levels indicator allows you to highlight the most important price levels on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. This indicator is particularly useful in intraday charts, as it allows the user to always have the highs, lows, opening and closing prices, POCs, value areas, VWAPs, and average values of the periods enabled easily visible on the chart.
