Overview
Previous Day Levels shades the daily trading range and draws triangular markers on breakout events when price crosses the high or low. Input settings allow custom colors for the high and low lines. The indicator sends alerts for high breaks and low breaks. It reads the previous completed daily candle to ensure non-repainting behavior and draws directly on the chart.

Third-party code. ForexR did not write, test or endorse this script, and the summary above was generated automatically from its code and README. Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints.
