Round-Number / Psychological Level Magnet - MetaTrader 5용 지표

Round-Number / Psychological Level Magnet

The idea behind it

Price doesn't need a reason to react at 1.1000, 150.00, or 1950.00 — round numbers pull orders toward them anyway, because that's where a lot of other traders' stops, take-profits, and resting limit orders already sit. The trouble with marking these by hand is that "round" means something different on every symbol: a EURUSD big figure is a 0.0100 move, a USDJPY big figure is 1.00, and on XAUUSD it's closer to 10.00. Round-Number Magnet reads the current price's own order of magnitude and picks a sensible spacing automatically, then keeps a small grid of big-figure and half-figure lines centered on wherever price currently is.

Instead of asking you to recalculate spacing every time you switch symbols, the auto-step logic takes the price's magnitude and lands on the "00"-style level traders actually talk about for that instrument. You can still override it with a manual step if your own convention differs.

How to interpret it

• Dashed lines are big-figure levels — the "00" round numbers at the auto-detected (or manual) spacing.
• Dotted lines, when enabled, sit exactly halfway between two big figures — the "50" levels traders treat as minor magnets.
• The grid is centered on price and redraws only when price drifts far enough from the current center to need it — it doesn't rebuild on every tick, so it won't flicker or eat CPU on a fast feed.
• The on-chart readout shows the single nearest magnet price and your current distance to it in points — the fastest way to see "how close is price to a level that might matter" without eyeballing the grid.
• The readout text turns from silver to orange once price is inside your configured approach distance — a quiet visual nudge before any alert fires.
• With alerts on, a close approach to any magnet fires once and logs to the Experts tab; it won't fire again for that approach until price pulls back out past the re-arm distance.

Recommended use

• Works on any symbol the broker exposes — FX, metals, indices, crypto CFDs — since the spacing is derived from the price itself, not hardcoded per instrument.
• Most useful on H1 and above, where round-number reactions are a real, recurring pattern rather than noise; on M1/M5 the "magnet" effect is weaker relative to normal tick-to-tick movement.
• Pure visualization — it places no orders and holds no position, so it carries none of its own margin or stop-out risk and behaves the same on any account type.
• A very wide InpLevelsEachSide on a fast-moving symbol means more frequent recenters; if you notice the grid rebuilding too often, lower InpRecenterThreshold's sensitivity by raising it closer to 1, or reduce the level count.
• Distance is measured in points (not pips), so on a 5-digit FX symbol 50 points is 5 pips — adjust InpApproachPoints accordingly per symbol's digit convention.
