Overlay-Chart Indicator
The Overlay-Chart Indicator is an advanced script designed for scalpers and day traders, providing comprehensive insights into daily, weekly, monthly, and previous period price levels. This indicator helps traders visualize critical price levels and make informed decisions based on historical and current data.

Key Features:
Drawing Future Lines with Labels:

The script uses the drawFutureLine function to plot future price levels with customizable labels. This helps traders anticipate and react to key price points.
Daily Levels:

Displays the open, low, high, close, and equilibrium (EQ) prices for the current day. This provides a quick reference for daily trading ranges and significant price points.
Weekly Levels:

Shows the open, low, high, close, and equilibrium prices for the current week, offering a broader view of market trends and key weekly price levels.
Monthly Levels:

Illustrates the open, low, high, close, and equilibrium prices for the current month, enabling traders to understand long-term trends and significant monthly price points.
Previous Day, Week, and Month Levels:

Historical data from previous periods (day, week, month) is displayed, allowing traders to compare past and present price levels to identify patterns and potential support/resistance levels.
Customizable Colors:

Traders can choose colors for daily, weekly, monthly, and previous day levels to enhance chart readability and personalization.
Flexible Display Options:

Users can select which price levels (Open, Low, High, Close, EQ) to display for each period (daily, weekly, monthly, previous day, week, month).
How It Works:
The script fetches historical and current price data using the request.security function. It then uses these data points to draw lines on the chart representing significant price levels. These lines are drawn into the future to help traders visualize where these levels will be in upcoming bars. Labels are added to these lines for easy identification.

How to Use:
Configure Inputs:

Enable or disable the display of daily, weekly, monthly, and previous period levels using the input options.
Customize colors for different levels to match your charting preferences.
Analyze Key Levels:

Observe the plotted lines and labels to understand critical price points for the current and past periods.
Use this information to identify potential entry and exit points, support and resistance levels, and overall market trends.
Future Planned Features:
The script includes several features that are currently commented out but planned for future updates:

Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP):

Display VWAP for daily, weekly, and monthly periods to provide an average price based on volume.
Point of Control (POC):

Show the price level with the highest trading volume for daily, weekly, and monthly periods.
Value Area High (VAH) and Low (VAL):

Display the upper and lower boundaries of the value area where most trading activity occurs for daily, weekly, and monthly periods.
These enhancements will offer additional insights into volume distribution and market sentiment, further improving the utility of the Overlay-Chart Indicator for traders.

This script is specifically designed to cater to the needs of scalpers and day traders who require precise, visually intuitive data for their trading strategies. The planned features will further enhance its effectiveness, providing a comprehensive tool for market analysis.
