Flexible S/R Channels🟩 Flexible S/R Channels is a visualization tool that draws curved support and resistance boundaries through user-defined anchor points. Unlike traditional trendlines and channels that force linear interpretation onto price action, this indicator captures the curved structures that markets frequently form—rounded tops and bottoms, parabolic advances and declines, arcing rallies and pullbacks. Three anchor points per curve define the shape; the indicator fits a smooth mathematical curve through these points and projects it forward. The approach is simple: draw what you see. Curved market structure that resists precise definition with traditional tools can now be rendered with mathematical accuracy.
The indicator bridges the gap between static drawing tools and programmable indicators. TradingView's arc tool draws curves but produces only visual pixels with no analytical value. Flexible S/R Channels creates live data series that integrate with other analysis tools. Four curve-fitting methods—Quadratic, Quadratic-Linear, Weighted Linear, and Natural Cubic Spline—accommodate different market structures. The curved levels naturally lend themselves to breakout and reversion strategies—applications left to the trader's discretion. The open-source code invites experimentation and customization.
💡 THEORY AND CONCEPT 💡
Traders have long relied on horizontal levels and diagonal trendlines to define support and resistance. Linear tools assume constant slope—a property rarely exhibited by actual market movement. When momentum accelerates or decelerates, price trajectories curve rather than hold to fixed angles. The resulting structures—parabolic advances during expansion phases, arcing pullbacks during consolidation, rounded formations at reversal points—represent changes in the rate of change itself. Traditional drawing tools cannot accommodate this variable geometry without sacrificing mathematical precision..
Flexible S/R Channels extends familiar support and resistance concepts into curved space. The approach is simple: draw what you see. When the eye recognizes a curved boundary in price action, this indicator provides the means to define it precisely. Three anchor points per curve—an initial point, an intermediate point, and a recent point—are all that is required. The indicator fits a smooth mathematical curve through these points and extends it forward as a projection.
This indicator represents a blend of human pattern recognition and algorithmic precision. Fully automated indicators make decisions without user input—efficient but detached from trader discretion. Manual drawing tools rely entirely on freehand skill—expressive but imprecise. Flexible S/R Channels occupies the middle ground. The trader identifies the curved structure; the algorithm renders it mathematically. The result is human insight expressed with computational accuracy—for traders who recognize curved structure in price action but lack precise tools to define it.
This projection is not a prediction. It is a visual hypothesis—a structured way of asking "if this trajectory continues, where would price be?" The underlying assumption is simple: like Newton's first law of motion, a trajectory in motion tends to continue unless acted upon by an external force. Future price action validates or invalidates the projection, just as it does with any trendline or channel.
TradingView offers an arc drawing tool for freehand curved lines, but these are purely visual—static pixels on a screen with no programmable value. Flexible S/R Channels bridges this gap. The fitted curves exist as data series that can generate alerts, trigger signals, and interact with other analysis tools. The visual drawing becomes operational structure.
🔁 CURVE METHODS 🔁
The indicator offers four curve-calculation methods, each producing different shapes suited to different market structures:
Quadratic — Fits a parabolic arc through the three anchor points. Best for smooth, continuous curves such as rounded tops and bottoms. It captures the natural "swing" of the market, assuming the momentum will maintain its current rate of acceleration or deceleration.
Quadratic-Linear — Uses a parabolic curve through the anchor points, then transitions to a straight line after the final anchor. Useful when curved structure gives way to linear trend continuation. This is the "bridge" between a turning market and a steady, directed move, preventing the projection from curving back on itself when the price begins to run.
Weighted Linear — Connects anchor points with straight line segments rather than a smooth curve. Suited for angular market structures with distinct inflection points. It treats the market as a series of rigid shifts, providing a clear "corridor" when the price is bouncing between sharp, diagonal levels.
Natural Cubic Spline — Produces the smoothest curve by minimizing abrupt directional changes. Ideal for organic, flowing market movements. It acts as a flexible spine that adapts to complex transitions without the rigid constraints of a fixed geometric shape.
Quadratic Fitting : A smooth, parabolic arc defines a curved resistance boundary. By fitting a mathematical path through three anchor points, the curve captures rounded structures and arcing price action that traditional linear trendlines fail to represent.
Weighted Linear Fitting : This method produces an angular, segmented path by connecting anchor points with distinct linear slopes. Unlike the continuous smoothness of a quadratic arc, the weighted linear approach creates a more jointed geometry, allowing for a precise match to market structures that exhibit sharp, localized changes in trajectory.
Natural Cubic Spline Fitting : This method creates a highly fluid, elastic curve that can accommodate complex price oscillations. In this instance, the curves define a narrowing range as support and resistance converge, highlighting the volatility compression that often precedes a significant breakout or breakdown from established structures.
🖱️ HOW IT WORKS 🖱️
1️⃣ Initial Setup
Unlike traditional indicators that calculate values automatically from price data, Flexible S/R Channels requires user-defined anchor points. This is intentional. The trader's eye is the pattern recognition engine—no algorithm can see the curved structure that experience and intuition reveal. The indicator waits for this input, then applies mathematical precision to render what the trader has identified.
The Recognition of Natural Structure : Effective analysis begins when a curved rhythm becomes visible within price action that traditional trendlines cannot satisfy. Identifying the specific swing highs and swing lows that define these boundaries is the first step in organizing a chart. By isolating three key pivots for resistance and three for support, the underlying framework of the market's trajectory is established, providing the necessary coordinates to accurately map the path.
Interactive Setup Workflow : Upon loading, the indicator prompts for the sequential selection of six points—three swing highs and three swing lows—to serve as the raw data for the calculation. While the chart remains blank during this initial phase, the curves generate instantly once the final anchor is confirmed. These points are not permanent; they appear as interactive grips that can be dragged in real time to refine the boundaries as the market structure evolves.
The indicator prompts for six sequential selections—three for resistance, three for support. The first three selections define the resistance boundary; the final three define support. This sequential grouping is distinct from zigzag-style selection patterns. Within each group, clicking order is flexible—the algorithm automatically sorts points chronologically, allowing traders to select visually prominent pivots in whatever sequence feels natural.
Structural Anchor Identification : Identifying three key swing highs and three key swing lows provides the foundation for the dual-curve geometry. These specific structural peaks and troughs serve as the coordinates for the mathematical models, ensuring that the resulting boundaries accurately reflect the underlying skeleton of the market action.
2️⃣ Interactive Adjustment
After the initial setup, all six anchor points are fully adjustable:
Points are automatically sorted chronologically regardless of selection order
Grip handles appear at each anchor location
Any point can be repositioned by clicking and dragging its grip handle
The curves recalculate instantly as points are adjusted
The algorithm produces a mathematically perfect curve based on the anchor points provided. If the result does not match the trader's vision, adjustments are immediate. This iterative refinement—see, adjust, refine—continues until the rendered curve represents what the trader sees in the price action. The user remains in control; the algorithm remains in service.
Interactive Channel Boundaries : Six user-defined anchor points—three for resistance and three for support —establish a non-linear range that moves beyond the constraints of a flat, horizontal channel. This configuration captures the arcing trajectory of the market while showing price action respecting the curved boundaries in a classic reversion pattern. By manually positioning these anchors, a dynamic dimension is added to the chart that maintains structural integrity even as the price follows a rounded path.
🛠️ SETTINGS 🛠️
Customizable Visual Feedback : Beyond the core geometry, the visualization offers various user-defined settings to tailor the chart's information density. From identifying specific price targets to toggling structural labels, these options allow the trader to adjust the level of detail to suit their personal analysis style while maintaining a clear view of the non-linear boundaries.
Configuration Options
Curve Method — Select the curve-fitting algorithm: Quadratic, Quadratic-Linear, Weighted Linear, or Natural Cubic Spline.
Projection Length — Number of bars to project the curves beyond current price action. Projections appear as dashed lines.
Visual Settings
Grip Size — Size of the draggable handles displayed at each anchor point. Set to zero to hide grips entirely.
Line Width — Thickness of the support and resistance curves.
Support Color / Resistance Color — Color settings for each curve.
Show Info Table — Toggle display of the info table showing the current curve method in the chart corner.
Advanced: Time/Price Coordinates
The settings panel includes precise time and price values for each of the six anchor points, grouped under Resistance Time/Price and Support Time/Price. These values are populated automatically when points are selected on the chart.
Adjusting anchor points by dragging the grip handles directly on the chart is faster and more intuitive. The time/price fields are available for situations requiring exact coordinate entry—such as aligning an anchor to a specific candle timestamp or a precise price level. These fields can be safely ignored unless fine-tuning is necessary.
🖼️ CHART EXAMPLES 🖼️
The Flexible S/R Channels indicator adapts to diverse market structures across multiple timeframes and instruments. Curved boundaries can define subtle momentum shifts in near-linear trends, dramatic reversals in rounding formations, or volatility compression as channels converge toward breakout points. The four curve-fitting methods accommodate different geometries—smooth parabolic arcs for continuous momentum changes, segmented linear paths for angular structures, and elastic splines for complex oscillations. Each anchor point adjustment instantly recalculates the curves, allowing iterative refinement until the rendered boundaries align with the trader's interpretation of market structure. Forward projections extend these mathematical relationships into future territory, providing visual context for hypothetical support and resistance levels if current trajectories persist.
Subtle Curve Alignment : Even in structures that appear linear, subtle curvature allows the channel boundaries to breathe with the market’s internal momentum. By utilizing three anchor points rather than two, the channel adapts to the slight acceleration of a trend, providing a more precise fit than a rigid, straight corridor.
Decelerating Momentum and Convergence : This classic rounding structure illustrates a transition where the initial wide oscillations between highs and lows begin to contract. As the boundaries converge, the curve captures the diminishing volatility and the shift in market energy, providing a clear visual representation of a trend losing its expansive momentum as it approaches a potential turning point.
Organic Trend Modeling : In an accelerating uptrend, the Natural Cubic Spline provides a highly adaptable boundary that mirrors the organic flow of momentum. This non-traditional approach allows the channel to follow complex price pulses that a standard linear trendline would likely cut through, maintaining a precise fit even as the angle of the trend shifts over time.
Non-Linear Projections : Unlike standard trendlines that converge at a fixed rate, curved projections adapt to the historical momentum of the move. This allows the indicator to map a dynamic squeeze, capturing the subtle nuances of how price action tightens toward an apex. It provides a more sophisticated view of future convergence points that traditional linear channels often fail to anticipate.
The "Draw What You See" Philosophy : Market structures are rarely perfect, and this example highlights the indicator’s ability to map unconventional rhythms. Rather than forcing price into a predefined category, the tool remains flexible enough to define any structural path the trader identifies. If you can see a trend's trajectory, the indicator can provide the mathematical framework to support it.
Comparative Projection Modeling : Using identical anchor points as above, this example demonstrates how selecting a different calculation method can alter the projected path. While the historical fit remains precise, the variation in the forward-looking trajectory allows traders to explore multiple mathematical interpretations of the same market structure, choosing the model that best aligns with the current volatility and trend behavior.
Extended Timeframe Channel Definition : This multi-year perspective demonstrates the indicator's ability to define curved channel boundaries across extended timeframes spanning hundreds of bars and multiple market cycles. The resistance curve captures the rounded distribution of swing highs while the support curve follows the accelerating base formation, creating a non-linear channel that frames long-term structural trends more precisely than traditional parallel channels or static trendlines.
Rounding Bottom Reversal and Channel Convergence : This example captures a classic rounding bottom formation—a reversal pattern that linear tools cannot adequately define. The Quadratic method produces a smooth parabolic arc through the resistance anchors, tracing the deceleration of the downtrend, the capitulation low, and the subsequent re-acceleration upward as a single continuous curve. The support boundary mirrors this momentum shift from below, creating a curved channel that narrows toward current price. This convergence represents structural compression—the boundaries tightening as volatility contracts and directional resolution approaches. Price action oscillates within these non-linear boundaries, demonstrating that channel behavior persists even when the geometry is curved rather than parallel. The projection extends both curves forward, mapping the hypothetical trajectory if the current momentum structure continues, providing visual context for potential breakout or breakdown levels as the channel reaches its apex.
Built-in Precision vs. Algorithmic Power : While TradingView offers basic curve drawing tools (shown here as dashed lines), the Flexible S/R Channels indicator elevates this concept into a functional analytical framework. By converting manual observations into mathematical models, it moves beyond mere drawing to provide a data-driven structure that can be utilized for advanced technical analysis and future Pine Script trading logic.
⚙️ TECHNICAL DETAILS ⚙️
Curve Fitting vs. Overfitting: The term curve fitting often carries negative connotations in quantitative analysis due to its association with overfitting—the practice of adjusting a model until it perfectly matches historical data, producing an illusion of accuracy that fails when applied to new data. The application here is fundamentally different. Flexible S/R Channels does not optimize parameters to maximize historical fit; it constructs a mathematical curve through user-selected anchor points, then projects that curve into unknown territory. The curve is not fitted to price data—it is fitted to structural pivots identified by the trader. The projection represents a hypothesis about trajectory continuation, not a prediction derived from statistical optimization. Future price action validates or invalidates this hypothesis in real time, exactly as it does with any trendline or channel. The anchor points remain fixed unless manually adjusted, ensuring the curve does not adapt to new data retroactively.
Non-Repainting Behavior: The indicator does not repaint historical bars. The mathematical coefficients that define each curve are calculated once—when the final anchor point is set—and stored as fixed values. These coefficients remain constant unless an anchor point is manually repositioned. The backfit polyline is drawn once using these coefficients, spanning the known range from the first to last anchor point. The plot() function applies the same coefficients to each subsequent bar, updating in real-time as new bars form but never altering previously plotted values. The projection polyline extends forward from the current bar using the same fixed coefficients, projecting a user-defined number of future bars (maximum 500). This projection redraws on each tick to maintain its position relative to the moving current bar, but the mathematical trajectory remains constant—only the starting point advances. The current bar's curve value will update tick-by-tick as price develops, which is standard real-time behavior, not repainting. Once a bar closes, all curve values on that bar are permanent. The hybrid architecture (backfit polyline for known history, plot() for unlimited real-time range, projection polyline for controlled forward extension) prevents overflow errors while maintaining non-repainting integrity across all components.
🗒️ NOTES 🗒️
The indicator renders curves based on any anchor points provided without validation. Unusual anchor placement produces mathematically accurate but potentially non-useful results. Adjustment is iterative—if the curve doesn't match expectations, reposition the anchors.
Because anchor points are stored as specific time and price coordinates, a new instance of the indicator should be added when analyzing a different chart or timeframe.
Grip handles can be hidden by setting Grip Size to zero in the settings. This is useful for clean chart screenshots or presentations where interactive elements are not needed.
Projection length can be set to zero if forward-looking curves are not desired. The indicator will still render the backfit curves through the anchor points and continue plotting in real-time without the dotted projection extensions.
Anchor points remain fixed at their selected time-price coordinates as new bars form. The curves extend forward automatically from these historical anchors, allowing observation of how projected trajectories align with developing price action.

Price Cross Time Custom Range Interactive█ OVERVIEW
This indicator was a time-based indicator and intended as educational purpose only based on pine script v5 functions for ta.cross() , ta.crossover() and ta.crossunder() .
I realised that there is some overlap price with the cross functions, hence I integrate them into Custom Range Interactive with value variance and overlap displayed into table.
This was my submission for Pinefest #1 , I decided to share this as public, I may accidentally delete this as long as i keep as private.
█ INSPIRATION
Inspired by design, code and usage of CAGR. Basic usage of custom range / interactive, pretty much explained here . Credits to TradingView.
█ FEATURES
1. Custom Range Interactive
2. Label can be resize and change color.
3. Label show tooltip for price and time.
4. Label can be offset to improve readability.
5. Table can show price variance when any cross is true.
6. Table can show overlap if found crosss is overlap either with crossover and crossunder.
7. Table text color automatically change based on chart background (light / dark mode).
8. Source 2 is drawn as straight line, while Source 1 will draw as label either above line for crossover, below line for crossunder and marked 'X' if crossing with Source 2's line.
9. Cross 'X' label can be offset to improve readability.
10. Both Source 1 and Source 2 can select Open, Close, High and Low, which can be displayed into table.
█ LIMITATIONS
1. Table is limited to intraday timeframe only as time format is not accurate for daily timeframe and above. Example daily timeframe will give result less 1 day from actual date.
2. I did not include other sources such external source or any built in sources such as hl2, hlc3, ohlc4 and hlcc4.
█ CODE EXPLAINATION
I pretty much create custom function with method which returns tuple value.
method crossVariant(float price = na, chart.point ref = na) =>
cross = ta.cross( price, ref.price)
over = ta.crossover( price, ref.price)
under = ta.crossunder(price, ref.price)
Unfortunately, I unable make the labels into array which i plan to return string value by getting the text value from array label, hence i use label.all and add incremental int value as reference.
series label labelCross = na, labelCross.delete()
var int num = 0
if over
num += 1
labelCross := label.new()
if under
num += 1
labelCross := label.new()
if cross
num += 1
labelCross := label.new()
I realised cross value can be overlap with crossover and crossunder, hence I add bool to enable force overlap and add additional bools.
series label labelCross = na, labelCross.delete()
var int num = 0
if forceOverlap
if over
num += 1
labelCross := label.new()
if under
num += 1
labelCross := label.new()
if cross
num += 1
labelCross := label.new()
else
if cross and over
num += 1
labelCross := label.new()
if cross and under
num += 1
labelCross := label.new()
if cross and not over and not under
num += 1
labelCross := label.new()
█ USAGE / EXAMPLES
Interactive MA Stop Loss [TANHEF]This indicator is "Interactive." Once added to the chart, you need to click the start point for the moving average stoploss. Dragging it afterward will modify its position.
Why choose this indicator over a traditional Moving Average?
To accurately determine that a wick has crossed a moving average, you must examine the moving average's range on that bar (blue area on this indicator) and ensure the wick fully traverses this area.
When the price moves away from a moving average, the average also shifts towards the price. This can make it look like the wick crossed the average, even if it didn't.
How is the moving average area calculated?
For each bar, the moving average calculation is standard, but when the current bar is involved, its high or low is used instead of the close. For precise results, simply setting the source in a typical moving average calculation to 'Low' or 'High' is not sufficient in calculating the moving average area on a current bar.
Moving Average Options:
Simple Moving Average
Exponential Moving Average
Relative Moving Average
Weighted Moving Average
Indicator Explanation
After adding indicator to chart, you must click on a location to begin an entry.
The moving average type can be set and length modified to adjust the stoploss. An optional profit target may be added.
A symbol is display when the stoploss and profit target are hit. If a position is create that is not valid, "Overlapping MA and Bar" is displayed.

Interactive ATR Stop-Loss [TANHEF]This indicator is "Interactive" which means some inputs can are manually added through the first click after adding the indicator to the chart (ATR Trailing Stop-loss start point). See images below for more explanation.
Why use a trailing stop-loss?
A trailing stop-loss provides an exit when price moves against you but also enables you to move the exit point further into profit when price is moving in the desired direction of a trade. The ATR (Average True Range) which is used to measure volatility, is very effective at functioning as a trailing stop loss.
Indicator Explanation
Initially when this indicator is added to the chart, you will be prompted to select where to begin the ATR Trailing Stop-loss.
For a long stop-loss, select below price.
For a short stop-loss, select above price.
After this indicator is placed, it can be modified via dragging or from within the settings by modifying the time and the price input. Or simply re-add the indicator to the chart.
The ATR Stop Loss plotted. Note that the trailing value that is considered as the stop loss value is the value of the ATR from the prior candle. The settings for the ATR calculation can be modified within the settings.
An optional fixed profit target can be added within the settings. This profit target will only actively be plotted when the ATR Trailing Stop-loss has not be hit hit yet or until the profit target has been hit.
Here shows that the profit target was hit, then later on the ATR Trailing Stop-loss was hit.
Note, trailing stop-loss will continue to be plotted until it has been hit regardless of the profit target being hit or not.

Index can be simply refered as int, for id, i not sure, already try id refered as simple, nothing happens.
linefill.new() will appeared as diamond box if overused.
Text in box.new() unable to use ternary condition or switch to change color. Bgcolor also affected.
Label display is larger than XABCD tool. Hopefully in future, have function to resize label similar to XABCD tools.
█ IMPORTANTS
Trade Management (Profit & Loss) is calculated from Point A to D.
Take Profit is calculated based on ratio 0.382 and 0.618 of Point A to D.
Always check BC validity before proceed to Trade Management.
Length of XABCD is equal to XAB plus BCD, where XAB and BCD are one to one ratio. Length is measured in time.
Use other oscillator to countercheck. Normally use built-in Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Divergence Indicator to determine starting point of Point X and A.

█ USAGE / TIPS EXAMPLES (Description explained in each image)
Support Resistance InteractiveHello All,
Using this "Support Resistance Interactive" script you can set the Support/Resistance levels interactively by clicking on the chart. Using the SR levels you set, the indicator creates Support Resistance zones. The width of the zones are calculated by using Threshold option and Threshold is the percent of the distance between Highest/Lowest levels in last 300 bars. if you set Threshold = 1 then it means 1% of the distance between Highest/Lowest levels. You can change SR levels by moving the level up/down by using your mouse anytime you want.
Now lets see it step by step;
After you added the indicator it will ask 5 Support/Resistance Levels and when you click any point then it's kept as S/R level and it asks another SR levels. if you want to use only 3 SR levels then last 2 SR levels are not important and you can click anywhere on the chart;
After you set all SR levels, it will ask "Number of Support/Resistance" . if you want to activate first 3 SR lines then set it 3. by default it's 5. when you set it click "Apply" and see the SR zones. that's it.
You can enable/disable alerts and set frequency, then create alerts. as it's interactive tool, the SR levels you set are specific for the current/active symbol. if you open another symbol then you better delete the indicator and add it again
Three Alerts exist in the script: Support Broken, Resistance Broken and Price in SR zone . you can enable/disable the alerts as you wish and you can set frequency for each one as "Once Per Bar" or "Once Per Bar Close"
by default Green/Red/Gray colors are used but You can change the colors using the options. according to the Price moves, SR zone colors are changed automatically.
when we have "Reset" feature to run the script interactively (like we added it for first time) I can update the script, then you will not need to delete/re-add each time you changed the symbol :)
In this example "Threshold" is 2 and "Number of Support/Resistance" is 4.
in this example "Threshold" is 0 and "Number of Support/Resistance" is 5.
Last example; Labels are shown for each zone, you can set location of the labels. SR order and Upper/lower band of each zone are shown in each label.
Enjoy!
[pp] Fib AlertsUsing the new input.price() function we can now automate our fibonacci tools a little better.
This tool is designed with the intention of trading off of a fibonacci level using alerts.
How to use:
1.Add the indicator to your chart.
2. Place the bottom price where you would normally start your fibonnaci drawing
3. Place the top price where you would normally end your fibonacci drawing
4. Set your alert syntax "buy alert message" and "sell alert message" Should be replaced with webhook configurations or something better.
5. Fibonacci values > 1 (ie. 0.382, 0.5, 0.618) are recognized as retracements and work well as buying opportunities. When the price crosses one of these levels the "buy alert message" alert will be immediately triggered ONCE per BAR (I may update this in the future so it can only trigger ONCE ever to avoid multiple orders)
6. Fibonacci values < 1 (ie . -0.113, -0.27) are recognized as extensions levels and work well as selling opportunities. When the price crosses one of these levels the "Sell alert message" alert will be triggered.
If anyone knows how to convert the fibonacci values to logarithmic values I would greatly appreciate insight.
