GLD Levels on GC

## GLD Levels on GC - Advanced Gold Trading Indicator

The GLD Levels indicator is a sophisticated trading tool designed specifically for gold traders who want to visualize key psychological price levels from the GLD ETF directly on their Gold futures (GC) charts. This indicator automatically scales GLD price levels to match Gold futures pricing, providing crucial support and resistance levels that institutional and retail traders watch closely.

### Key Features
- Real-Time GLD Price Integration : Pulls live GLD ETF prices and displays them as scaled levels on GC charts
- Dual Level System : Shows both whole number levels (e.g., $180, $181, $182) and half levels (e.g., $180.5, $181.5, $182.5)
- Smart Instrument Detection : Automatically works on GLD, GC (Gold futures), and MGC (Micro Gold futures) with proper scaling
- Customizable Colors : Full control over line and label colors for both whole number and half levels
- Historical Extension : Lines extend 100 bars back and 50 bars forward for comprehensive chart analysis
- Dynamic Level Selection : Always shows the 10 closest levels (5 above, 5 below) to current price
- Clean Label System : Optional price labels with "GLD: $XXX" format for easy identification

### How It Works
The indicator fetches real-time GLD ETF prices and calculates the nearest whole number and half-increment levels. When used on Gold futures charts (GC/MGC), it automatically applies the appropriate conversion ratio to scale GLD levels to futures pricing. This provides traders with the psychological levels that matter most in the gold market.

### Customization Options
- Show GLD Price Label : Toggle the current GLD price display
- Show Whole Number Levels : Enable/disable whole dollar level lines
- Show Half Levels : Enable/disable $0.50 increment levels
- Whole Number Level Color : Customize the color for whole dollar levels (default: white)
- Half Level Color : Customize the color for half-dollar levels (default: gray with transparency)

### Perfect For
- Gold Futures Traders : GC and MGC contract traders who need GLD-based support/resistance levels
- Multi-Timeframe Analysis : Works across all timeframes from scalping to swing trading
- Institutional Level Tracking : Monitor the same levels that large funds and ETF traders watch
- Risk Management : Use levels for stop-loss placement and profit target identification
- Market Structure Analysis : Identify key psychological levels that often act as magnets for price action

### Trading Applications
- Support & Resistance : Use GLD levels as dynamic support and resistance zones
- Entry Points : Look for bounces or breaks at key whole number and half levels

- Breakout Trading : Monitor for decisive breaks above/below major GLD levels

### Why GLD Levels Matter for Gold Futures
GLD is the world's largest gold ETF with massive institutional participation. The psychological levels in GLD often translate directly to Gold futures markets due to arbitrage relationships and cross-market trading. This indicator bridges that gap by showing you exactly where these critical levels sit on your Gold futures charts.
