Level Scope › Session and profile
Prior day extreme swept
Trading through yesterday's high is ordinary. Closing back below it having done so is the event people mean by a sweep. This fires on that close and draws the swept level forward.
What it looks like on a chart
A horizontal line at yesterday's high or low, from the bar that swept it.
| Timeframe | Bars of history it reads | Settings | Events, last 30 days |

| M15 | 400 | prior session on the broker's own daily boundary; through the level and closing back inside | 318 |
| M30 | 400 | prior session on the broker's own daily boundary; through the level and closing back inside | 312 |
| H1 | 400 | prior session on the broker's own daily boundary; through the level and closing back inside | 295 |
| H4 | 400 | — | 0 |
Not on D1. It built on a SESSION — the profile, the first hour, the prior day's extremes. On D1 a session is one bar and the question is empty.
What we measured
Nothing of our own attached. The event is exactly defined and needs no forward claim to be worth drawing.
What it does not claim
First per side per session only — later pokes at the same level are the same story told again, and the alert does not repeat it.
Where the definition comes from
the standard sweep reading — through, then rejected
