Mother Bar Levels

Mark the mother bar. Watch the break.

The study marks the most recent mother bar, a bar followed by an inside bar. The next bar's high is below this bar's high, and the next bar's low is above this bar's low.

Questions

Does Mother Bar Levels work on any timeframe?

Yes. Add it to any chart. It uses the bars on that chart, so it follows whatever timeframe the chart is set to.

Is Mother Bar Levels included with the desk?

No. A monthly desk, an annual desk, and the 7-day trial do not include it. It is a separate $29 purchase, the same way Options 201 is sold.

What is the refund policy?

Refunds follow the same handling as Options 201. A full refund issued in Stripe removes access to the download.

Does it work on thinkorswim?

Yes. It is a study file for the Charles Schwab thinkorswim desktop platform on Windows. ALGO Swamp is not affiliated with or endorsed by Charles Schwab or thinkorswim.

A $39 bundle with Mother Bar Levels and the Mother Bar Sweep Scan is coming soon. Each file is $29 on its own until then.
