Steps to Draw P-Level

  1. If the P-Level Finder's Line is Showing Upside:

    Draw a P-level line at the higher side of the 3-minute candle, after completing two or three consecutive 3-minute candles.

  2. If the P-Level Finder's Line is Showing Downside:

    Draw a P-level line at the lower side of the 3-minute candle, after completing two or three consecutive 3-minute candles.

Logic Behind This Approach:

Special Scenario: When the P-Level Finder Line Moves Up and Then Instantly Comes Down OR Down and Then Instantly Up

In this case, we draw the P-Level at the middle range of the three consecutive 3-minute candles.
