In short: NinjaTrader 8 and a chart. That is all Weekly H/L Lines needs.
Load about five days of data for every week you show. On futures, a 24-hour template includes the Sunday-evening open.
All lines update instantly as price moves live.
On by default: older weeks fade, so recent levels stand out from old ones.
See the midpoint price for the current week or previous weeks.
Set it up exactly how you prefer it to look.
You might ask why this is free, and what the catch is. There is none. We want to change the market for third-party NinjaTrader tools, and giving our work away is part of how we do it.
To say it plainly, this market is overpriced and full of low-quality tools with missing features and bugs. Vendors charge hundreds of dollars for simple indicators. No indicator, add-on or tool will make you profitable. A good one makes your trading environment better, and you know that already, or you would not be here looking.
Our goal is the highest-quality products we can build, tools that make a real difference on the chart. We get there by testing hard, on live charts before every release, with feedback from the traders who use them and a close read of what the forums complain about. We offer a full refund within 14 days, we adapt tools for customers who ask, and we give most of our work away.
Most of our tools are free for a reason. We want you to try them, see the quality and the features for yourself, and not spend a dollar with us until you think a tool deserves it. We are a business and we intend to make money, by solving real problems for traders.
So yes, Weekly H/L Lines is completely free, no strings attached. If you like it, there are more free tools and paid ones priced well under what is usual in this market. If you have any questions, please email us at support@usefulindicators.com.

Four ways to trade around the levels the whole market already has marked. None of them is a signal; the entries, the stops and the discipline are still yours.
Price runs into last week’s high and stalls, at a level every swing trader has marked. A rejection there is one of the cleanest fades on any timeframe.
Price closes beyond last week’s high or low and holds: the market accepting prices outside last week’s range. Trade the retest, or trail the move with the level behind you.
A week’s high near another week’s high, or a low near another low, gets flagged on the label. Those stacked levels are where reactions tend to be strongest; mark them before the session, not after the bounce.
Above this week’s open, the week’s buyers are ahead; below it, the sellers. One line that keeps your intraday trades on the right side of the week.

Sunday for futures, and that is the default: the CME week opens Sunday evening. Monday for stocks. The levels follow your chart’s trading hours, so on futures a 24-hour template gives you the full week including the Sunday-evening session; an RTH-only template gives you the RTH week. If you switch the start day on a running chart, right-click the chart and choose Reload NinjaScript for a clean re-count.
From one to ten weeks, counting the current week — four by default, which is this week and the three before it. Untick Show Current Week to hide the still-forming week. Load about five days of data for every week you show, and raise Days to load in the chart’s Data Series settings if the older weeks are missing.
For every week: the high, the low and, if you switch it on, the midpoint. For the current week it can also draw the opening price. High, low, mid and open each have one on/off switch; past weeks and the current week each get their own color, width and dash. By default a line starts at its week’s first bar and runs to the right edge (a week that begins before the chart’s loaded history starts at the left edge). A line can also span the whole chart, stop at the current bar, turn dashed after its week closes, or be switched off to show labels only — the open line still draws in that mode.
When a week’s high sits within a set number of ticks of another week’s high, or a low within that distance of another week’s low, its label says so — for example Prev High ~2W, meaning last week’s high is within a few ticks of the high from two weeks back (with dates on, it reads Prev High (Sep 6) ~2W). Midpoints and the open are not compared. The distance is two ticks by default, up to ten, or zero to switch it off.
Thirty-three settings in seven groups, and the six things they add up to. The names in bold are the names in the indicator’s settings window.
Weeks to Show draws this week and the completed weeks before it, from 1 to 10, four by default. Set it to 2 and untick Show Current Week and only last week’s high and low remain. The High Lines and Low Lines groups style the finished weeks. Older weeks come from NinjaTrader’s weekly bars; load about five days of chart data per week, 51 for all ten, and each line starts at its own week.
Week Start Day is Sunday by default, for futures, where the CME Globex week opens on Sunday evening; Monday is the ISO week, for stocks. The levels follow your chart’s trading hours: a 24-hour or ETH template puts the Sunday-evening session in the week’s high and low, an RTH template gives the regular-hours week. On Renko, range and Heikin-Ashi charts the levels come from NinjaTrader’s own weekly bars.
Show Current Week keeps the forming week on the chart, its high and low moving the moment price makes a new extreme. The Current Week group styles it apart from the finished weeks with its own High Line, Low Line and Mid Line, dashed by default. Show Open Line adds the week’s first traded price as a gold dotted line, with its own Open Line style and Open Label Color.
The Mid Line group’s Show adds the halfway price between each week’s high and low, off by default. Fade Older Weeks dims older weeks in steps, down to a quarter of full strength, so the recent levels stand out. Line Extension runs a level from its week’s first bar to the right edge, across the whole chart, to the current bar, solid through its week and dashed after, or not at all, leaving the labels.
Show Labels writes each level at its price. Show Week gives Curr, Prev, 2W and back, Show Level Name says High, Low, Mid or Open, Show Price adds the price and Show Date the week’s start, such as (Sep 6). Vertical Placement sets the text on, above or below the line, Horizontal Position at the right edge or the week’s first bar; Label Background boxes it.
Confluence Detection (ticks) compares every week’s high with the other weeks’ highs, and every low with the lows. Within the distance, 2 ticks by default and up to 10, the label says so, as in Prev High ~2W; zero turns it off. Show Info Box lists each week’s high, low, range as a percent of the low and start date, this week starred, in the corner Info Box Position picks.
No. The weekly levels never pull the price scale, so a high from five weeks ago does not compress today’s bars. Scroll the price axis if you want to see a level that is off screen.
No. It only redraws when something changed — a new bar, a new week, a new weekly high, low or open, or a setting — so most price changes cost almost nothing. If your chart ever lags with it on, email us: that’s a bug, not normal.
Yes. At its defaults it draws last week’s high and low and the two weeks before them, plus this week as it trades. For last week alone, set Weeks to Show to 2 and untick Show Current Week. Every level is labeled at the price, such as Prev High (Sep 6), and the lines never pull the price scale, so a far-away week does not squash today’s bars.
No. NinjaTrader 8’s Prior Day OHLC and Current Day OHL cover the day only. Its Pivots indicator can switch to a weekly or monthly range, but it plots pivot levels calculated from the prior period’s high, low and close, the pivot with three levels either side, not the week’s high and low themselves. Our key levels guide lists everything that ships.
Yes. Run it next to its free twin, the monthly high and low indicator. The label text tells them apart, Prev High (Sep 6) for a week and Prev High (Aug 2026) for a month, but both ship in the same green and red, so give one of them its own colors. Where a weekly and a monthly level sit at the same price, set one indicator’s Horizontal Position to Left so the labels sit apart. For yesterday’s high and low, add the free previous day high and low indicator, Daily H/L Lines, in its own colors too.
As reference levels. Last week’s high and low are where last week’s buyers and sellers ran out, and swing traders have them marked, so price often reacts there: a stall at the level is a possible fade, a close beyond it that holds is the market accepting a new range. The indicator marks the levels and gives no signals; the entries, stops and discipline stay yours.
