Candle Open Time labels (& TAPDA Lines)Description of the "4-Hour Candle Opening Times (TAPDA Lines)" Indicator
The "4-Hour Candle Opening Times (TAPDA Lines)" indicator integrates key principles of the Time and Price Action Trading Algorithm (TAPTA) with practical tools for analyzing market behavior. This script is designed for traders who leverage the interaction between time and price to identify opportunities in the market. The indicator supports the identification of significant price levels and potential areas of interest based on historical data and recurring patterns tied to specific timeframes.
Core Concepts
Time and Price Interaction (TAPTA Logic):
The script implements TAPTA principles by focusing on time intervals (4-hour candles) and the price action associated with those intervals.
Traders use this logic to recognize how prices behave at specific times, identifying patterns, levels of support or resistance, and potential reversals.
Highs and Lows Recognition (TAPDA):
The indicator includes logic for identifying and marking "Tapped Highs and Lows," which occur when price action retraces to previously significant levels within a specified tolerance. These taps are visually represented with horizontal lines, enabling traders to spot recurring price behaviors and levels of interest.
Dynamic Levels for Decision-Making:
By combining time and price, the script visualizes key price levels and their relevance over time, equipping traders with actionable insights for entry, exit, and risk management.
Indicator Features
1. Visual Representation of Candle Opening Times
The indicator marks the opening times of 4-hour candles on the chart.
A customizable label system displays the time in either a 12-hour or 24-hour format, with options to toggle the visibility of AM/PM suffixes.
2. TAPDA Logic
Identifies and highlights price levels that have been tapped within a specified tolerance.
Horizontal lines are drawn to mark these levels, allowing traders to see historical price levels acting as support or resistance.
The "Tapped Highs and Lows" are updated dynamically based on the most recent price action.
3. Timeframe-Specific Filtering
Users can limit the display to specific times of interest, such as 2 AM, 6 AM, and 10 AM, by toggling the "GCT (General Candle Times)" option.
Additional options allow filtering TAPDA logic by AM or PM timeframes, catering to traders who focus on specific market sessions.
4. Adjustable Plotting Limits
The script incorporates settings for controlling the maximum number of labels and lines displayed on the chart:
Max Labels: Limits the number of labels plotted for 4-hour candle opening times.
Max TAPDA Lines: Limits the number of TAPDA horizontal lines displayed.
A "Sync Lines and Labels" option ensures the same number of labels and lines are plotted when enabled, providing a consistent and clutter-free visualization.
5. Plot Maximum Capability

Extended Support and Resistance LevelsIndicator: Extended Support and Resistance Levels
This Pine Script indicator dynamically calculates support and resistance levels based on recent price action and projects these levels into the future.
Support is determined by the lowest low over a user-defined period, while Resistance is defined by the highest high over the same period.
The indicator draws lines at the calculated support and resistance levels and extends them into the future, allowing traders to visualize potential future levels where price might react.
The extension of these lines helps in identifying areas where price may respect support or resistance in the upcoming bars.
The user can adjust the period for support/resistance calculation and the number of bars for projection, providing flexibility to adapt to different timeframes and market conditions.
This tool is ideal for traders looking to anticipate future key price levels based on historical price data, helping with decision-making on potential entry or exit points.
Short Term Imbalance ContinuationShort Term Imbalance Continuation
This indicator identifies short-term trading opportunities based on imbalance situations followed by consolidation.
Functionality:
The indicator looks for a specific candle formation:
1. An imbalance candle where the low is above the high of the following candle (bearish) or the high is below the low of the following candle (bullish)
2. Followed by 1-2 inside candles (close within the range of the previous candle) in the same direction
Theory:
The formation is based on two important market mechanisms:
1. Imbalance and Momentum:
- The imbalance shows a strong move with one-sided orderflow dominance
- Inside candles in the same direction confirm that the opposing side cannot take control
2. Consolidation Behavior:
- Inside candles are a classic consolidation pattern
- They show that the market is "digesting" the previous strong movement
- Consolidation within the range indicates controlled accumulation/distribution
- Particularly relevant when large market participants are building or expanding positions
- Consolidation at higher/lower levels confirms the dominance of the trend direction
Settings:
- Choice between one or two inside candles for different consolidation phases
- Option whether both inside candles must have the same direction
- Customizable colors for bullish and bearish signals
Application:
The indicator is particularly suitable for:
- Trend confirmation after strong movements
- Entry into pullbacks during trends
- Identification of continuation setups after consolidations
- Detection of accumulation/distribution phases of large market participants
Notes:
- Best used in combination with higher timeframe trend
- Particularly meaningful at important price zones
- Consolidation phases can indicate institutional interest
- The length of consolidation (one vs. two inside candles) can indicate different accumulation phases
Long Position with 1:3 Risk Reward and 20EMA CrossoverThe provided Pine Script code implements a strategy to identify long entry signals based on a 20-EMA crossover on a 5-minute timeframe. Once a buy signal is triggered, it calculates and plots the following:
Entry Price: The price at which the buy signal is generated.
Stop Loss: The low of the previous candle, acting as a risk management tool.
Take Profit: The price level calculated based on a 1:3 risk-reward ratio.
Key Points:
Buy Signal: A buy signal is generated when the current 5-minute candle closes above the 20-EMA.
Risk Management: The stop-loss is set below the entry candle to limit potential losses.
Profit Target: The take-profit is calculated based on a 1:3 risk-reward ratio, aiming for a potential profit three times the size of the risk.
Visualization: The script plots the entry price, stop-loss, and take-profit levels on the chart for visual clarity.
Remember:
Backtesting: It's crucial to backtest this strategy on historical data to evaluate its performance and optimize parameters.
Risk Management: Always use appropriate risk management techniques, such as stop-loss orders and position sizing, to protect your capital.
Market Conditions: Market conditions can change, and strategies that worked in the past may not perform as well in the future. Continuously monitor and adapt your strategy.
By understanding the core components of this script and applying sound risk management principles, you can effectively use it to identify potential long entry opportunities in the market.
Correlated Imbalance Detector# Correlated Imbalance Detector
This indicator helps traders identify strong market movements while avoiding fakeouts by detecting correlated imbalances across two trading instruments. By requiring confirmation from correlated markets like major indices (ES, NQ) or related forex pairs, it filters out potential false signals.
## What it Does
The indicator analyzes price action patterns known as 'imbalances' on two correlated instruments simultaneously. An imbalance occurs when there's a significant gap between price levels that hasn't been filled, indicating strong buying or selling pressure. By requiring both instruments to show the same pattern, it helps eliminate false breakouts and fakeouts.
### Key Features:
- Detects bullish and bearish imbalances across two correlated instruments
- Filters out fakeouts through correlation confirmation
- Uses candlestick direction for additional validation
- Simple visual signals with customizable colors
### Signals:
- Green square: Bullish imbalance detected on both instruments
- Red square: Bearish imbalance detected on both instruments
## Avoiding Fakeouts
The indicator's core strength lies in its correlation requirement:
- A signal only appears when both instruments show the same pattern
- Reduces false signals that might appear on a single instrument
- Helps validate genuine market moves through correlation
- Particularly effective in filtering out noise in choppy markets
## Index Correlation and Bias
Major indices often show strong correlation in their movements:
- ES (S&P 500 futures) and NQ (Nasdaq futures) typically move together
- When both show the same imbalance pattern, it significantly reduces the chance of a fakeout
- Use this correlation to confirm your market bias and strengthen your trading decisions
## Settings
- Correlated Symbol: Enter the symbol you want to correlate with
- Bearish Color: Customize the color for bearish signals
- Bullish Color: Customize the color for bullish signals
## Usage Tips
1. Particularly effective with correlated indices (ES/NQ)
2. Use to confirm your existing market bias
3. Best used on higher timeframes (H1 and above)
4. Wait for confirmation from both instruments to avoid fakeouts
5. Consider overall market context when interpreting signals
6. Use the absence of correlation as a warning sign for potential fakeouts
Note: This indicator is designed to help filter out false signals through correlation. It works best as part of your broader market analysis and should align with your trading bias and strategy.

Q3: What is the significance of the Green Line at Buy Price?
The Green Line represents your entry point (Buy Price) on the chart. It will appear from the buy date onwards, helping you track the performance of your stock relative to your entry.
Q4: Can I customize the Sell Strategy?
Yes! You can choose from the available Sell Rules (Ascender Rule, Midterm Rule, 40 Week Rule, Everest Rule) via an input option in the script. Each strategy has its own unique triggers based on price action, moving averages, and time-based conditions.
Q5: Does this script work for stocks and crypto?
Yes, this script is designed for both stocks and cryptocurrencies. It works on any asset where price data and timeframes are available.
Q6: How do the Weekly Moving Averages (WSMA) work in this strategy?
The script uses weekly moving averages (WSMA) to track longer-term trends. These are essential for some of the sell rules, such as the Midterm Rule and 40 Week Rule, which rely on the stock's movement relative to the 40-week moving average.
Q7: Will the script plot a Sell Signal immediately after the Buy Date?
No, sell signals will only be plotted after the Buy Date. This ensures that the sell strategy is relevant to your actual holding period and avoids premature triggers.
Q8: How do I interpret the Sell Signal?
The script will plot a Red Sell Signal above the bar when the sell conditions are met, based on the selected strategy. This indicates that it may be a good time to exit the position according to your chosen rule.
Q9: Can I use this strategy on different timeframes?
Yes, you can apply the script to any timeframe. However, some sell strategies, like the Midterm Rule and 40 Week Rule, are designed to work best with weekly data, so it's recommended to use these strategies with longer timeframes.
Q10: Does this script have any alerts?
Yes! The script supports alert conditions that will notify you when the sell conditions are met according to your selected rule. You can set up alerts to stay informed without needing to watch the chart constantly.
Q11: What if I want to disable some of the sell rules?
You can select your preferred sell rule using the "Select Sell Rule" dropdown. If you don’t want to use a particular rule, simply choose a different strategy or leave it inactive.

MCP Stop Strategy [JARUTIR]The MCP Stop Strategy is a trading tool designed to help traders lock in profits and manage risks. It is based on the concept of setting a MCP (Mental Capacity Preservation) Stop explained in the book "The Lifecycle Trade". I call it Maximum Controllable Profit Stop which helps protect profits once a stock or asset reaches a new peak. The MCP Stop is dynamically calculated based on the Buy Price and the All Time High Price (Peak Price), and is adjusted using a customizable percentage (MCP%) to retain a portion of the gains from the peak price during a drawdown.
Key Features :
MCP Stop Calculation: The script calculates the MCP Stop as:
MCP Stop = Buy Price + (Peak Price - Buy Price) x MCP%
This helps you protect a portion of your gains (defined by MCP%) as the price moves in your favor.
Flexible Buy Date Option:
You can either manually input a Buy Date or let the script automatically detect the Buy Date when the price first meets or exceeds the user-defined Buy Price.
After the Buy Date, the MCP Stop, Buy Price, and Peak Price are plotted on the chart for easy visualization.
Customizable Parameters:
Buy Price: The price at which the asset was bought.
MCP Percentage: The percentage of profit from the peak that you want to retain in case of a drawdown.
Lookback Length: The number of bars to consider when calculating the Peak Price (All Time High).
How to Use the Script :
Set the Buy Price: Enter the price at which you bought the asset.
Set the MCP%: Enter the percentage of profits you want to protect from the peak. For example, if you want to retain 10% of the gain from the peak, set this to 10.
Choose the Buy Date Method:
Automated Buy Date: The script will automatically detect the first bar where the price meets or exceeds the Buy Price.
Manual Buy Date: If you prefer to specify a particular Buy Date, input the desired date and time.
View the MCP Stop and Peak Price: After the Buy Date (either manually or automatically detected), the MCP Stop, Buy Price, and Peak Price will be plotted on the chart.
Monitor the MCP Stop Trigger: The script will alert you when the price falls below the MCP Stop, indicating a potential exit point to protect profits.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
1. What is the MCP Stop?
The MCP Stop is a dynamic stop-loss level that adjusts based on your Buy Price and the All Time High Price (Peak Price). It protects a portion of your gains from the peak, which is defined by the MCP%. For example, if you set the MCP% to 10%, the script will retain 10% of the gains from the peak and use this as a stop-loss.
2. How does the Buy Date work?
The Buy Date is the date when you entered the position:
If you choose Automated Buy Date, the script will automatically set the Buy Date to the first bar when the price meets or exceeds the Buy Price.
If you choose Manual Buy Date, you can specify a particular date and time when you want the strategy to start calculating and plotting the MCP Stop and Peak Price.
3. What happens if the price falls below the MCP Stop?
If the price drops below the MCP Stop, the script will mark this as a potential exit point, helping you protect profits. A visual alert (MCP STOP) will be shown on the chart when the price reaches or falls below the MCP Stop.
4. Can I adjust the Lookback Length for Peak Price?
Yes, you can customize the Lookback Length (the number of bars the script considers when calculating the Peak Price) by entering a value in the input field. By default, it is set to 1000 bars, which represents a few months of historical data, but you can increase or decrease this based on your trading strategy.
5. Why would I want to use the automated Buy Date?
The Automated Buy Date is useful for traders who want the script to automatically track the Buy Date when the price first reaches or exceeds the Buy Price. This is helpful when you're unsure of the exact entry date but know the price at which you bought the asset. It simplifies the process by eliminating the need for manual input.
6. Can I use this strategy for long and short positions?
The current version of this script is designed for long positions, where you buy an asset and want to protect your profits as the price increases. If you're interested in applying it to short positions, you would need to adjust the logic accordingly (e.g., tracking the lowest price instead of the peak price).
7. Can I modify the script to fit my trading strategy?
Yes, this script is highly customizable. You can adjust parameters such as Buy Price, MCP%, and Lookback Length to suit your specific trading style. You can also tweak the visual appearance of the plotted lines and alerts.

Drawdown from All-Time High (Line)This Pine Script is a **Drawdown Indicator from All-Time High** for TradingView. It calculates and plots the percentage drawdown from the highest price the asset has ever reached (the all-time high). Here's a breakdown of what this script does:
### Description:
- **Drawdown Calculation**:
- The drawdown is calculated as the difference between the current price (`close`) and the all-time high, divided by the all-time high, and multiplied by 100 to express it as a percentage.
- If the current price is higher than the previous all-time high, the all-time high is updated to the current price.
- **All-Time High Tracking**:
- The script tracks the highest price (`allTimeHigh`) that the asset has ever reached. Each time a new high is reached, the `allTimeHigh` value is updated.
- **Line Plot**:
- The drawdown percentage is then plotted as a line on the chart, with a color of **blue** for easy visualization.
- The line shows how much the price has dropped relative to its all-time high.
- **Zero Line**:
- A horizontal line is added at the **0%** level to act as a reference point, which is helpful to identify when the asset has fully recovered to its all-time high.
### Key Features:
- **Track Drawdown**: The indicator helps visualize how far the current price has fallen from its highest point, which is useful for understanding the depth of losses (drawdowns) during a period.
- **Update All-Time High**: The indicator automatically updates the all-time high whenever a new high is detected.
- **Visual Reference**: The 0% horizontal line provides a clear indication of when the asset is at its all-time high, and the drawdown is at 0%.
### How it Works:
- If the current price surpasses the all-time high, the script will reset the all-time high to the new price.
- The drawdown percentage is calculated from the current price relative to this all-time high, and it is displayed as a line on the chart.
### Visuals:
- **Drawdown Line**: Plots the percentage of the drawdown, which is the drop from the all-time high.
- **Zero Line**: A dotted horizontal line at 0% marks the level of the all-time high.
This indicator is valuable for understanding the extent of price corrections and potential recoveries relative to the historical peak of the asset. It is especially useful for traders and investors who want to assess the risk of drawdowns in relation to the highest price achieved by the asset.

Bullish Engulfing: Occurs when a green candle completely engulfs the prior red candle, signaling potential upward momentum.
Bearish Engulfing: Occurs when a red candle completely engulfs the prior green candle, signaling potential downward momentum.
The script highlights these patterns with green triangles below the bars for Bullish Engulfing and red triangles above the bars for Bearish Engulfing.
This tool is helpful for traders who use candlestick patterns as part of their technical analysis strategy.
Liquidity + Engulfment StrategyThis strategy identifies potential trading opportunities by combining bullish and bearish engulfing candle patterns with liquidity seal-off points. The logic is based on the concept of engulfing candles, which signal a shift in market sentiment, and liquidity lines, which represent local price extremes (highs and lows) that can indicate potential reversal or continuation points.
Key Features:
Mode Selection
The strategy allows for three modes: "Both", "Bullish Only", and "Bearish Only". Users can choose whether to trade both directions, only bullish setups, or only bearish setups.
Time Range
Users can define a specific time range for when the strategy is active, enabling tailored analysis and trade execution over a desired period.
Engulfing Candles
Bullish Engulfing: A candle that closes above the high of the previous bearish candle, signaling potential upward momentum.
Bearish Engulfing: A candle that closes below the low of the previous bullish candle, indicating a potential downtrend.
Liquidity Seal-Off Points
The strategy detects local highs and local lows within a specified lookback period, which can serve as critical support and resistance points.
A bullish signal is triggered when the price touches a lower liquidity point (local low), and a bearish signal is triggered at a higher liquidity point (local high).
Signal Confirmation
Signals are only triggered when both an engulfing candle and the price action at a liquidity seal-off point align. This helps filter out weaker signals.
Consecutive signals are prevented by locking the trade direction after an initial signal and waiting for the liquidity line to be broken before re-triggering a signal.
Entry and Exit Conditions
The strategy can enter both long (bullish) or short (bearish) positions based on the mode and signals.
Exit is based on opposing signals or reaching predefined stop-loss and take-profit levels.
Alerts
The strategy supports alert conditions to notify users when bullish engulfing after a lower liquidity touch or bearish engulfing after an upper liquidity touch is detected.
Overnight High/LowThe script identifies the Overnight High (the highest price) and Overnight Low (the lowest price) for a trading instrument during a specified overnight session. It then plots these levels on the chart for reference in subsequent trading sessions.
Key Features:
Time Settings:
The script defines the start (startHour) and end (endHour + endMinute) times for the overnight session.
The session spans across two calendar days, such as 5:00 PM (17:00) to 9:30 AM (09:30).
Tracking High and Low:
During the overnight session, the script dynamically tracks:
Overnight High: The highest price reached during the session.
Overnight Low: The lowest price reached during the session.
Reset Mechanism:
After the overnight session ends (at the specified end time), the script resets the overnightHigh and overnightLow variables, preparing for the next session.
Visual Representation:
The script uses horizontal dotted lines to plot:
A green line for the Overnight High.
A red line for the Overnight Low.
These lines extend to the right of the chart, providing visual reference points for traders.
How It Works:
Session Detection:
The script checks whether the current time falls within the overnight session:
If the hour is greater than or equal to the start hour (e.g., 17:00).
Or if the hour is less than or equal to the end hour (e.g., 09:30), considering the next day.
The end minute (e.g., 30 minutes past the hour) is also considered for precision.
High and Low Calculation:
During the overnight session:
If the overnightHigh is not yet defined, it initializes with the current candle's high.
If already defined, it updates by comparing the current candle's high to the existing overnightHigh using the math.max function.
Similarly, overnightLow is initialized or updated using the math.min function.
Post-Session Reset:
After the session ends, the script clears the overnightHigh and overnightLow variables by setting them to na (not available).
Line Drawing:
The script draws horizontal dotted lines for the Overnight High and Low during and after the session.
The lines extend indefinitely to the right of the chart.
Benefits:
Visual Aid: Helps traders quickly identify overnight support and resistance levels, which are critical for intraday trading.
Automation: Removes the need for manually plotting these levels each day.
Customizable: Time settings can be adjusted to match different markets or trading strategies.
This script is ideal for traders who use the overnight range as part of their analysis for breakouts, reversals, or trend continuation strategies.
Candlestick Patterns with SignalsIdentified Patterns:

Short Signal: Triggered when a Bearish Engulfing or Shooting Star pattern is detected. A dotted red line marks the entry level.
Visual Elements:
Labels indicating the candlestick pattern names appear at the relevant candles.
Lines connect the previous and current candles for engulfing patterns to highlight their range.
Dotted lines indicate potential entry levels for long or short trades.
SMA Proximity Signal with Trend TableSummary of the Script:
This Pine Script is designed to provide a variety of technical analysis signals based on Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) and market trends across different timeframes. The script combines multiple indicators, such as the SMA crossover, proximity conditions, and trend analysis, along with visual markers and support/resistance lines. Below is a detailed breakdown of the key features:
The script detects crossovers between SMA1 and SMA2 and SMA1 and SMA3, marking them with green circles exactly at the crossover price level (not on the candles).
The crossover events are identified using ta.crossover and ta.crossunder functions.
Additional circles are drawn when other SMAs are in proximity (narrow stage)
Elephant Candle Pattern:
The script identifies "Elephant Candles" based on a large candle body relative to the overall size of the candle, using the condition where the candle body is at least 80% of the total candle size and at least 1.5 times the average candle size.
These candles are marked with an elephant emoji 🐘 at the top of the candle.
Trend Analysis Across Multiple Timeframes:
The script calculates the trend for different timeframes using the SMA20 of each timeframe:
5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, and 1D
It compares the current SMA20 to its previous value to determine whether the trend is Up, Down, or Flat.
Highest High, Lowest Low, Midpoint for Selected Days [kiyarash]Highest High, Lowest Low, and Midpoint for Selected Days Indicator
This custom TradingView indicator allows you to visualize the highest high, lowest low, and the midpoint (average of the highest high and lowest low) over a custom-defined period. You can choose a starting date and specify how many days ahead you want to track the highest and lowest values. This is useful for identifying key levels in a trend and potential support or resistance zones.
How to Use:
Set the Starting Date:
In the settings, input the starting date from which you want to begin tracking the price range. This will be the reference point for your analysis.
Choose the Number of Days to Track:
Specify how many days you want to analyze from the selected starting date. For example, if you want to see the highest high and lowest low over the next 3 days, enter "3" in the settings.
Visualizing the Levels:
The indicator will automatically calculate the highest price and the lowest price over the selected period and draw three lines:
Red Line: Represents the Highest High within the selected period.
Green Line: Represents the Lowest Low within the selected period.
Blue Line: Represents the Midpoint, which is the average of the Highest High and Lowest Low.
Interpretation:
Highest High is a key resistance level, indicating the highest price reached within the specified period.
Lowest Low is a key support level, showing the lowest price during the same period.
Midpoint provides a reference for the average price, often acting as a neutral level between support and resistance.
This tool can help traders to quickly assess potential market ranges, identify breakout or breakdown points, and make informed decisions based on recent price action.
How to Apply:
Add the indicator to your chart.
Adjust the settings to choose your desired starting date and the number of days you want to analyze.
Observe the drawn lines for the Highest High, Lowest Low, and Midpoint levels, and use them to assist in your trading decisions.
RShar Liquidity Zone Identifier Description of the Liquidity Zone Identifier Indicator
The **Liquidity Zone Identifier** is a TradingView indicator designed to highlight key liquidity zones on a price chart. Liquidity zones represent areas where the price is likely to encounter significant resistance or support, making them critical for technical analysis and trading decisions.
Key Features:
1. **Dynamic Resistance and Support Levels**:
- The indicator calculates the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined period (`length`) to identify potential resistance and support levels.
- Sensitivity can be adjusted using the `zoneSensitivity` parameter, which defines a percentage buffer around these levels to expand the zones.
2. **Visual Representation**:
- Resistance zones are highlighted in **red**, indicating areas where the price may face selling pressure.
- Support zones are highlighted in **green**, representing areas where the price may find buying interest.
- The zones are displayed as shaded regions using the `fill` function, making them visually distinct and easy to interpret.
3. **Customizable Inputs**:
- **Zone Length** (`length`): Determines the number of candles considered for calculating highs and lows.
- **Zone Sensitivity** (`zoneSensitivity`): Sets the percentage margin around the calculated levels to define the liquidity zones.
- **Zone Colors**: Users can customize the colors for resistance and support zones to suit their preferences.
- **Toggle Fill**: The `showFill` option allows users to enable or disable shaded zone visualization.
4. **Alerts for Trading Opportunities**:
- Alerts are triggered when:
- The price enters the **resistance zone** (current high is greater than or equal to the resistance zone).
- The price enters the **support zone** (current low is less than or equal to the support zone).
- These alerts help traders stay informed of critical market movements without constantly monitoring the chart.
#### How It Works:
1. **Calculation of Zones**:
- The highest high and lowest low over the specified `length` are calculated to define the primary levels.
- A buffer zone is added around these levels based on the `zoneSensitivity` percentage, creating a margin of interaction for price movements.
2. **Plotting the Zones**:
- The top and bottom boundaries of the resistance and support zones are plotted as lines.
- The area between these boundaries is shaded using the `fill` function to enhance visualization.
3. **Alerts for Key Events**:
- Traders are notified when price action interacts with the zones, enabling quick decision-making.
#### Use Case:
The Liquidity Zone Identifier is ideal for:
- Identifying areas of potential price reversal or consolidation.
- Spotting high-probability trading setups near resistance and support zones.
- Complementing other technical indicators in a trading strategy.
By effectively highlighting critical price levels, this indicator provides traders with a powerful tool to navigate the markets with greater precision.
