Check out the new article: Price Action Analysis Toolkit Development (Part 42): Interactive Chart Testing with Button Logic and Statistical Levels.

In a world where speed and precision matter, analysis tools need to be as smart as the markets we trade. This article presents an EA built on button logic—an interactive system that instantly transforms raw price data into meaningful statistical levels. With a single click, it calculates and displays mean, deviation, percentiles, and more, turning advanced analytics into clear on-chart signals. It highlights the zones where price is most likely to bounce, retrace, or break, making analysis both faster and more practical.

Statistical measures computed from price data, such as mean, median, percentiles, and density-based modes, capture the central tendency and distributional shape of recent price action. These metrics often coincide with key reaction areas in the market: zones where liquidity clusters, where price tends to revert to, or where breakouts and reversals originate. Treating these statistics as reference levels supports both discretionary and systematic approaches. They are easy to interpret visually and suitable for automated monitoring. You can learn more about metrics such as mean, standard deviation, and median in the previous article, where I explained them in depth.

The logic of this tool is built around button-based controls that simplify market analysis. The dashboard converts the developer’s inputs into a lightweight, chart-attached UI that allows traders to:

  • Select a date/time range (on-chart or typed).
  • Compute distributional statistics over the selected range.
  • Render lines for mean, standard-deviation bands, percentiles, median, and modes.
  • Snapshot reference levels for live monitoring (touch, breakout, and reversal detection).
  • Export snapshot data to CSV.
  • Reset the dashboard quickly to a clean state.

This on-chart UX eliminates guesswork about which settings to use and speeds up analysis workflows. It also makes the tool safer and friendlier for live trading: instead of continuously altering code, traders can compute and inspect results in seconds.
