Structure
Open % Levels
PERCENTAGE lines measured from the session's OPENING price.
Real example in the platform
Open % Levels on the NQ, 1-minute candles built from real ticks (October 16, 2026, Rithmic feed) — a screenshot of the platform itself, factory settings.
What it does
- Draws 1%, 2%… up to 5% (configurable) above and below the open, dotted.
- ANCHOR: RTH open (9:30 ET) or session/ETH open (18:00 ET, Globex) — RTH measures what the floor did since the bell; ETH includes what the overnight had already delivered.
- HEAT: the farther from the open, the stronger the colour — you can tell how far price has run without reading a label.
Options
- Step in % and number of levels, near and far colours, dash, thickness and the opening line itself.
