CME Price Limit Monitor
CME Price Limit Monitor is a TradingView indicator for monitoring CME equity index futures price-limit risk directly on the chart.
It displays estimated CME limit-up and limit-down levels, custom prop-firm warning levels, current distance to each level, and a compact dashboard for quick risk awareness.
Key Features
Auto Mode
Auto Mode estimates the CME reference price from a continuous futures symbol, such as
NQ1! CME_MINI:NQ1!.
The indicator attempts to reconstruct the CME fixing window using TradingView data:
You can also override the calculation symbol manually using TradingView’s symbol selector.
Manual Mode
Manual Mode lets you enter verified CME values yourself:
Manual Mode is recommended when exact official values are required.
Prop-Firm Warning Levels
The prop-firm buffer is measured in percentage points.
Example: if the CME limit is 7% and the prop-firm buffer is 2%, the warning level is calculated at 5% from the reference price.
Alerts
Alerts are created manually through TradingView’s official alert workflow.
