Hoag's key market levels — shared daily on TopstepTV — are built directly into TopstepX as a charting indicator. No plugins, no added cost. Available for ES, NQ, CL, and GC.

Available for: ES, NQ, CL, and GC.

On Mondays, all "Yesterday's" levels will display Friday's values. Daily levels update each trading day. Weekly levels update once per week.

How to Access

👉 Shade the Asia, London, and NY CME futures sessions and track each session's High/low with dashed lines.

What it shows

3 background-shaded windows: Asia (17:00–02:00 CT), London (02:00–08:30 CT), NY (08:30–16:00 CT). A small label pops at the first bar of each session.

Settings

👉 Capture the initial range of the session and project breakout extension targets based on that range.

What it shows

High/low of the first 15 minutes from a configurable open time (default 08:30 CT). Projects ±0.5R, ±1.0R, and ±2.0R extensions using the range height as the unit. All lines extend through the day and break across sessions.

Settings

👉 The first hour's high/low — a Market Profile staple defining the day's value range and anchoring extension targets.

What it shows

Same math as Opening Range, but with a 60-minute default window. IB high/low shown in purple/orange (distinct from OR's teal/red), plus ±0.5R, ±1.0R, and ±2.0R extensions.

Settings

👉 Recolor candle bodies using Heikin-Ashi direction to smooth noise and reveal directional flow — without replacing your real bars.

What it shows

Computes HA values and paints each candle body green (HA close > HA open) or red (HA close < HA open). Real price bars stay intact — only the body color changes, so true highs/lows and fills remain visible.

Settings

👉 Right-axis price tags for the real close, the HA close, and a round-number ladder — no chart clutter, no auto-scale distortion.

What it shows

3 independent features, all rendered as right-axis tags by default:

Settings

👉 An ATR-based trailing stop line that shifts color when momentum flips.

What it shows

Trend Magic plots a single stair-step line that tracks price at a volatility-adjusted distance. The line stays blue when the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) is positive (uptrend) and flips red when CCI goes negative (downtrend). It ratchets with the trend and never reverses until momentum changes direction.

Settings

👉 Two moving averages that flip roles when the trend changes.

What it shows

SSL Hybrid plots a moving average of highs and a moving average of lows, then swaps which one is on top based on where price closes. When price breaks above the high MA, the indicator goes bullish and shades green. When price breaks below the low MA, it goes bearish and shades red. The space between the two lines forms a channel that tracks the current trend.

Settings

👉 A six-stage smoothed moving average that stays responsive without lag.

What it shows

T3 runs price through six cascading exponential smoothing stages, then blends them with a volume factor to produce a line that's both smooth and quick to react. It filters out market noise better than a simple EMA while still turning with the trend before traditional moving averages catch up.

Settings

👉 An adaptive moving average that speeds up in trends and slows down in chop.

What it shows

VIDYA adjusts its smoothing speed based on the Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO). When the market is trending strongly, VIDYA tightens up and tracks price like a fast EMA. When momentum is balanced and the market is choppy, VIDYA slows down and nearly flattens, reducing false signals.

Settings

Wave Trend tracks price momentum through 2 smoothed lines that oscillate around a zero centerline — similar to RSI or MACD but with extra smoothing to cut out market noise. The fast line (wt1) reacts to price changes; the slow line (wt2) confirms. The shaded area between them shows their divergence.

Best for scalpers and short-term traders who need momentum signals that react fast without whipsawing on every tick. The double-smoothing makes it ideal for choppy markets where standard RSI throws too many false signals.

Settings you might tweak:

TDI adds fast and slow moving averages of RSI, plus volatility bands that expand and contract with market conditions. The indicator displays 3 layers of information: direction (RSI price line vs. signal line), momentum (MA crossovers), and context (bands reflect when RSI is compressed or extended).

Settings:

Zero Lag MACD applies a lag-correction technique to both the MACD line and signal line, so crossovers and divergences appear earlier than with standard MACD. The familiar MACD line, signal line, and histogram are all present — the difference is in the math, which removes the delay built into traditional exponential moving averages.

Settings:

Trend Cycle runs a stochastic calculation on MACD, then smooths the result with a second stochastic layer. The output is a momentum indicator that cycles between 0 and 100 — combining MACD-style trend detection with the bounded, oscillating behavior of a stochastic. The line color reflects direction: green when rising, red when falling.

Settings:

​A stair-step trend line that only moves when price breaks through a smoothed range gate.
​

What it shows
Price has to earn a direction change here. The filter holds flat until price pushes past a smoothed threshold — built on average range or ATR. When it breaks through, the line steps up or down and color-shifts. Bands frame the gate, giving you a visual buffer zone.

Settings

​Detects volatility compression and shows momentum direction via histogram — catch the coil before the spring.

What it shows
Bollinger Bands squeezing inside Keltner Channels means volatility is compressed. This indicator watches for that moment. A dot at the zero line tracks the squeeze state. The histogram shows momentum direction and strength via linear regression of price deviation from a midpoint reference.

Settings

​Volume-weighted moving average with standard deviation bands — price meets participation.

What it shows
A simple moving average treats every bar the same. VWMA doesn't. It weights price by volume, so the line tracks where real participation lives. 2 pairs of deviation bands frame the range, expanding and contracting with volume-weighted volatility. 1σ captures ~68% of price action. 2σ captures ~95%.

Settings

​Volume-weighted average price with standard deviation bands — price meets participation.

What it shows
VWAP weights price by volume, so the line tracks where real participation lives — not just where price went. 2 pairs of deviation bands frame the range, expanding and contracting with volume-weighted volatility. 1σ captures ~68% of price action. 2σ captures ~95%.
