⏰ Daily High/Low Trading: Capture Intraday Extremes
Daily High/Low levels in RelicusRoad Pro identify the critical price boundaries where institutional traders expect daily ranges to conclude. These dynamic levels adapt throughout the trading day, providing you with real-time guidance on when price has reached potential reversal zones.
