Lesson #6 - Violet
Violet levels are very similar to DarkOrange levels, with the difference being that Violet levels are determined based on the analysis of provided data in hourly cycles. This results in greater inertia compared to DarkOrange levels, which are much more precise and show possible anomalies more quickly. The trading models are similar, but in the case of Violet levels, a FlowZone (FZ) is not designated.
Characteristics of Violet
Violet levels, part of the DML levels for currency pairs, are characterized by precise price reactions when reached. When the price approaches a Violet level, it often finds solid support or resistance, preventing further declines or increases.
This dynamic highlights the critical role of these levels in stabilizing the market and supporting the price in short-term perspectives.
Models for Trading Violet
Violet levels can serve as significant support or resistance, depending on the currency pair they appear in, especially in the context of the US dollar (USD). It is important whether USD is the first (base currency) or the second (quote currency) component of the currency pair.
For currency pairs where USD is the first currency (e.g., USDCAD, USDCHF, USDJPY):
Violet as Support until 11:00 GMT
The Violet level serves as significant support during the Asian session and the early part of the European session. If this level is breached before 11:00 GMT, there is a high probability that the price will return to this level in the near future - often the same day, just before or during the American session.
For currency pairs where USD is the second currency (e.g., AUDUSD, EURUSD, GBPUSD):
Violet as Strong Resistance until 11:00 GMT
In this case, the Violet level acts as strong resistance. If this level is breached before 11:00 GMT, the probability of the price returning to this level in the near future increases significantly - often the same day, just before or during the American session.
Additional Tips
Precise Retests: When retesting the Violet level, the price usually does so very precisely, allowing for accurate entries in line with the established trend.
No FlowZone: Despite the absence of a designated FlowZone, Violet levels are extremely important for stabilizing the price and predicting market movements.
Data Delivery Cycles: Violet levels are provided to clients in hourly cycles. It should be noted that these cycles are not related to the traditionally understood intervals of financial market observation but are simply the frequency of data updates.
Summary
Violet levels, as an integral part of models related to DML levels for currency pairs, offer unique opportunities for identifying key support and resistance points and managing risk.
By considering the specifics of currency pairs involving the US dollar, traders can adjust their strategies to enhance investment efficiency and precision in market analysis.
However, it is important to note that Violet levels are also calculated for other currency pairs not involving the US dollar. On these pairs, Violet levels serve as support, resistance, and also as levels that the price often "touches" during its volatility.
Therefore, Violet levels are a universal tool that can be applied across various markets and trading conditions.

Olive
Olive levels are generated once a day, around 19:00 GMT. This level consists of three zones. The middle zone is located around the price level at 19:00 GMT. The other two zones are located above and below the middle zone, at equal distances from it. The range of these distances varies daily and indicates the potential movement dynamics for the next day. The lower zone is a very strong support for the next trading day, while the upper zone is a strong resistance for the next trading day.
DarkOrange
DarkOrange levels are closely linked to Violet levels, which are updated every hour, unlike DarkOrange levels, which are updated every 5 minutes. Both the data sources and calculation algorithms are identical.
However, the more frequent 5-minute recalculations for DarkOrange levels have allowed the discovery of unique setups and models, as well as the observation of many anomalies unavailable for trading on Violet levels.
