Daily levels (BOZ · Zone · R/S) Weekly BOZ (bias box) NextDay levels (settled at close) Target / StopGreen shading = gradient fill from BOZ toward R3/S3
What to judge here:
Bias first: in tabs 1–3 price is above the cyan weekly BOZ = bullish regime. The orange daily BOZ box is the battlefield — every entry, stop and target is anchored to it.
One box of risk: stops sit on the far side of the BOZ. Use the Target selector (R1/R2/R3) inside the panel — watch the R:R and the result change. R1 hits most often; R3 needs a trend day.
Conflict tab: the daily signal is bearish but the weekly is bullish — the red band is the trade you are NOT allowed to take. The real trade is the bounce at the weekly box.
NextDay tab: tomorrow's settled levels shown ahead of time — that's where pending orders live when you can't watch the open.

SETTING 1 IMPORTANT
Load at least 20 days of data
In your Data Series settings set Days to load ≥ 20. Weekly levels are computed from weekly price action — with less history the weekly levels may not work or plot correctly.
SETTING 2
Weekly plotting is OFF by default
By default the weekly levels are not plotted. Check the Weekly option in the indicator settings to plot the weekly BOZ on your chart — same idea as the Weekly box layer toggle in this preview. Daily levels plot without any setup.
The Map one look tells you the trade — every line is a decision level
The BOZ (Break-Out Zone / Actionable Area) is the market's levels for the period: Zone (the Intraday levels) sits inside, between the two BOZ edges (Above/Below).
Weekly BOZ = direction. Price above it (or bouncing off it) = only longs. Below it = only shorts. Inside = no bias, no trade.
Daily BOZ = execution. Break through the near edge = momentum entry. Retrace into the box that holds = discount entry.
Stop = far edge of the box. One box of risk. The gradient shading visualizes how far R1→R3 sit from that tiny risk.
Targets = R1 (Easy), R2 (Balanced), R3 (Home run). One target per trade, chosen before entry.
The Strategy in Five Rules
RULE 1
Bias — the Weekly BOZ decides
Price above the weekly BOZ, or bouncing off it = bullish, longs only. Below it = bearish, shorts only. Price inside the weekly box = no bias — stand aside. You never argue with the weekly box.
RULE 2
Align — execute on the Daily BOZ
Two entries only, both in the weekly direction: Breakout — price pushes through the daily BOZ near edge; momentum leg. Dip — price retraces into the daily box and holds; discount entry. Nothing else.
RULE 3
Stop — always the far BOZ edge
Long stop = just below the daily BOZ bottom (weekly-bounce trade = below the weekly box). Short = above the box top. Your risk is one box width — that is what makes the reward:risk work.
RULE 4
Target — one per trade: R1 / R2 / R3
Daily levels. R1 hits most often but pays least; R2 is the balanced default; R3 needs a trend day — the home run. Pick before entry and commit. Shorts target S1/S2/S3.
RULE 5
Conflict — the weekly wins
Daily signal against the weekly bias = no trade — counter-trend is not recommended. The only exception: an aggressive trader may take the counter trade when price bounces off the Daily BOZ and holds, even though it's not aligned with the weekly. Everyone else waits for price to reach the weekly box — that's where the real trade lives (long the bullish box, short the bearish box).

USE CASE 1 LONG
Breakout — trend ignition
Weekly bullish. Price presses into the daily BOZ and breaks the top edge — you buy the break, stop under the far edge, R2 default. The market already gave you direction (weekly) and ignition (the break).
USE CASE 2 LONG
Dip-buy — the BOZ magnet
The trend got ahead of itself and price pulls back into the daily box — the Zone acts like a magnet. The reclaim of the box top is your trigger. Tight stop under the box, R1 is the high-probability target.
USE CASE 3 SKIP → LONG
Conflict — never fight the weekly
Weekly bullish but the daily breaks down — the short is forbidden (Rule 5). Price falls to the weekly box where last week's buyers defend. Long at the weekly BOZ, stop under the box, target back to the daily Zone.
AGGRESSIVE ONLY The counter short exists — bounce off the daily BOZ, reduced size — but it trades against the weekly and is not recommended.
USE CASE 4 SHORT
Short mirror — everything inverted
Price below the weekly BOZ = bearish regime. Break down through the daily BOZ bottom = short; stop above the box top; targets S1/S2/S3 — same ladder, same math, mirrored.
USE CASE 5 PENDING
NextDay — set-and-forget
Can't watch the open? At today's close the NextDay levels are settled. Place a buy-stop above N-BOZ (breakout) and/or a buy-limit at N-BOZ (dip), stop beyond the far edge, target N-R1. The panel tells you when it's real: ≈ Estimating mid-day (drifting, plan only) → green LOCKED after the close (exact prices, order away). You knew the exact location before the day started.

NextDay — the One-Day Lead why it exists · why it moves mid-day · when it locks
Why it's there. The Daily levels only roll over at the next session open — until then the chart still shows yesterday's price action. The NextDay projection buys you a one-day lead: it computes tomorrow's levels from today's developing price action, so you know where the levels sit before the market even opens and can place next-day resting orders in advance instead of computing prices in a hurry at the open.
Mid-day it's a live estimate — by design, not a bug. Tomorrow's Levels are pure Price Action math on today's session, which isn't final until the close. So the projection re-anchors on every bar: it drifts, converges, settles. It's not repainting — on any past bar you see exactly what you'd have seen live, and frozen past sets hold the true settled levels.
It locks at the daily close. The session's final bar makes the running H/L/C final, so the projection freezes into the true next-day levels. From that moment until the next open is the actionable window — the guide panel shows the flip explicitly (below).
No opening price anywhere. Levels are computed from yesterdays price action — nothing is taken from the 9:30 open. All the data is already complete at the session close, which is exactly why after-hours values are final.
The hand-off is seamless. At the next open the locked values become the Daily levels (same math, same anchor — identical numbers), and a fresh NextDay estimate starts for the day after. One continuous chain, always one day ahead.
The green flip (row + highlight) is the green light: exact stop / limit prices for next-day resting orders, final until the next open.
NextDay Workflow EOD analysis · pending orders when you can't watch the market
Let the day settle — watch the panel, not the clock. Mid-session the guide shows TOMORROW ≈ in dim gray and N-STATE "Estimating — locks at daily close" — the prices drift with the running day, so treat them as planning info only. At the session's final bar the row turns green and N-STATE flips to "LOCKED — final next-day levels". That flip is your green light.
Read tomorrow's map. Where is NextDay BOZ vs today's close? Above = tomorrow likely opens into a breakout setup; below = dip setup. That's your location.
Place the orders (OCO) — only when LOCKED. Breakout plan: buy-stop 2 ticks above N-BOZ top. Dip plan: buy-limit at N-BOZ. One cancels the other. Stop beyond the far edge of the box.
Target and walk away. N-R1 default (easy target), N-R2 if the week is trending. Shorts mirrored with sell-stop / sell-limit.
Pro Tips
Narrow daily BOZ (compressed box) = coiled energy — trend-day fuel. Favor breakouts with R2/R3 targets.
Wide daily BOZ = balance-day chop. Favor dip entries and R1, or stand aside — the box is your risk, a wide box is a wide risk.
Virgin Levels: if price never returned to yesterday's zone, today's box is extra strong on first touch.
One re-entry max. Stopped twice at the same box = the day is against you. Close the platform tab for that level.
Size from the stop: contracts = risk $ ÷ (box width × $ per point). Bigger box → smaller size, same risk. MNQ = $2/point per micro.
Disclaimer: educational preview with simulated MNQ candles — not trade advice, not a promise of results. Intraday levels are a map, not a crystal ball; stops at BOZ edges limit risk but do not eliminate it. Trade one target per plan, respect the weekly bias, and size so a string of stops is a cost of business, not a disaster. Full terms and risk disclosure ship with the final product.
