Chronos Trend Level Oracle (CTLO)

Sep 17

The Chronos Trend Level Oracle (CTLO) is a powerful technical analysis tool designed to identify significant trend levels that can act as support and resistance, helping traders navigate market trends and potential reversal points.

Key Components:

Setup Identification:

• Bullish Setup: 9 consecutive closes lower than the close 4 bars earlier.
  
• Bearish Setup: 9 consecutive closes higher than the close 4 bars earlier.
  

CTLO Support Level:

• Established when a Bullish Setup completes.
  
• Represents the lowest low of the CTLO Period (default 9 bars) preceding the Setup completion.
  

CTLO Resistance Level:

• Established when a Bearish Setup completes.
  
• Represents the highest high of the CTLO Period (default 9 bars) preceding the Setup completion.
  

Level Persistence:

• A CTLO level remains active until an opposite Setup completes.
  
• When a new Setup completes, it clears the opposite level.
  

Visual Representation:

• Support levels are displayed as green circles.
  
• Resistance levels are displayed as red circles.
  
• Both use translucency for better chart visibility.
  

How to Use the CTLO:

Trend Identification:

• The presence of a CTLO Support level suggests an underlying bullish trend.
  
• The presence of a CTLO Resistance level suggests an underlying bearish trend.
  
• The absence of either level indicates a possible trend transition or consolidation.
  

Support and Resistance:

• Use CTLO levels as potential support (green) or resistance (red) areas.
  
• These levels often act as price reaction points where bounces or rejections may occur.
  

Breakouts and Breakdowns:

• A decisive close above a CTLO Resistance level could signal a bullish breakout.
  
• A decisive close below a CTLO Support level could signal a bearish breakdown.
  
• Use the optional alerts to be notified of these events.
  

Trend Continuation:

• Price respecting a CTLO Support level can be seen as bullish, suggesting potential long entries.
  
• Price respecting a CTLO Resistance level can be seen as bearish, suggesting potential short entries.
  

Reversal Anticipation:

• As price approaches a CTLO level, watch for signs of reversal (e.g., candlestick patterns, divergences).
  
• Failed breakouts/breakdowns at CTLO levels can lead to strong moves in the opposite direction.
  

Multiple Timeframe Analysis:

• Apply CTLO on different timeframes for a more comprehensive market view.
  
• Higher timeframe CTLO levels often carry more significance.
  

Combine with Price Action:

• Look for candlestick patterns or chart formations near CTLO levels for higher probability setups.
  
• Double tops/bottoms or other reversal patterns at CTLO levels can be particularly significant.
  

Risk Management:

• Use CTLO levels to set stop-loss orders or profit targets.
  
• For breakout trades, consider using the CTLO level as a new stop-loss after the breakout occurs.
