The Round Level indicator is an MT4 forex trading tool that automatically identifies and displays round levels of price on the chart.
Round Levels, otherwise known as psychological levels are believed to be zones where big financial institutions like banks, hedge funds, etc. place their BUY/STOP orders.
These round levels are typified by multiple zeros which come after a decimal point.
In essence, round levels are round figures on a chart that are mostly respected by price action. They are potential turning points or support/resistance areas. These levels include 1.900, 1.200, etc.
The Round Level indicator is built to mark up the psychological (round) levels on a trading chart because they are somewhat difficult to find with the naked eye. This in turn takes away the eye strain of manually searching for such levels.
Round levels tend to be reliable support and resistance zones due to the activities of the big financial players around such levels. As a trader, you can also take advantage of these (round) levels for trade entries and exits.
The above image gives a visual illustration of how price reacted with the round levels.
Forex Trading With Round Levels
We’ve already established that round levels are key areas where you can open a BUY/SELL position, Take profit or set your Stop orders. And that the Round Levels indicator makes the above process hassle-free.
Note that the round levels are not just traded randomly as they are not always respected by price. After all, there’s no level on the chart that is always bound to be respected by price.
Therefore, round Levels are better used per price action. For better understanding, let’s put a few things into perspective.
How To BUY/SELL with the Round Levels indicator
The Round Levels indicator can be used with price action for better entries/exits. A high probability BUY setup can be spotted using a trend line, for instance. Trend Lines define the trend of a market, (in this case, a bullish trend).
Next is to identify a round level that is within the range of an established trend line that had previously acted as a support zone. With the above conditions, you may open a BUY position at the retest of the retest of the trend line. Such trade would most likely play out in your favor.
The same ideology is also valid for a good SELL setup. Please refer to the above chart (SELL Signal) for more clarity. Take Profit and Stop Loss can also be placed accordingly with the same principle.
