Common questions

When are ES levels published?
After the US close, for the next US session, so they are on your chart before the open rather than during it.
Are these ES levels free?
The prior session's levels are free, together with a breakdown of how price behaved around them. The upcoming session's levels are the paid tier.
How are the ES levels calculated?
From price structure on the regular session rather than an overnight cycle, so the levels describe the hours most traders actually trade. Prices where the market repeatedly turned are grouped into levels.
