Support Resistance Major/Minor [TradingFinder] Market Structure🔵 Introduction
Support and resistance levels are key concepts in technical analysis, serving as critical points where prices pause or reverse due to the interaction of supply and demand. These foundational elements in price action and classical technical analysis assist traders in understanding market behavior and making better trading decisions.
Support levels are zones where demand is strong enough to prevent further price declines, while resistance levels act as barriers that hinder price increases.
Support and resistance levels are divided into two main types: static and dynamic. Static levels are fixed horizontal lines on charts, formed based on historical price points, and are crucial due to repeated price reactions in these areas.
Dynamic levels, on the other hand, move with market trends and are often identified using tools like moving averages and trendlines. These levels are particularly useful for analyzing dynamic trends and identifying potential reversal points in financial markets.
The importance of support and resistance in technical analysis lies in their ability to pinpoint price reversal or continuation points. Professional traders use these levels to determine optimal entry and exit points and combine them with tools such as Fibonacci retracements or moving averages for precise strategies.
Detailed analysis of price behavior at these levels provides insights into trend strength and the likelihood of price breaks or reversals. By understanding these concepts, technical analysts can forecast future price movements and optimize their trading decisions using tools such as indicators and price action. Support and resistance levels, as a cornerstone of technical analysis, form the foundation for many trading strategies.
🔵 How to Use

Resistancezones
Volume Weighted Reversal BandsThis is a vwap & vwma hybrid with upper & lower deviation bands that provide excellent price channels and reversal areas. It can be used on lower & higher timeframes, just increase the deviation % for higher timeframes. Try out the 1 minute timeframe with .5% deviation for great scalping levels.
Here is the calculation used for the main line.
(VWMA100 + VWMA500 + VWMA1000 + VWAP) / 4
So it combines 3 VWMAs with the VWAP and divides that number by 4 to give us a moving average. Then we add new levels above and below that moving average to get our channels. The channels are separated by the % deviation you choose in the settings. For tighter bands, lower the percentage deviation and for wider bands, increase the percentage deviation.
The fattest line in the middle is the main moving average and you can expect price to regularly return to this level. The thick lines are the main moving average plus or minus the percentage deviation you have set. There are 10 levels in each direction from the main moving average. The is also a thin short term moving average as well with a custom calculation. It takes 4 different length moving averages that are weighted and 4 more that are volume weighted and divides the total by 8.The lines will be green when price is above the line and red when price is below the line. The thin white line is the VWAP on its own.
These lines will act as dynamic support and resistance so you can scalp them back and forth. These levels work so well because they are volume weighted and the algos hedge their positions back and forth constantly.
For best results, use this indicator on tickers with the highest volume and trading action as the price will stick to these levels better when the big money players are hedging. Some great tickers for this indicator are APPL, SPY, BTC, ETH.
All colors and linewidths can be customized in the settings easily as well as turning off the VWAP or short moving average and adjusting the percentage deviation for the channels.
***MARKETS***
This indicator can be used on all markets, including stocks, crypto, futures and forex.
***TIMEFRAMES***
This indicator can be used on all timeframes.
***TIPS***
Try using numerous indicators of ours on your chart for extra confirmation. Our favorites to pair with these bands are the Scalper Ribbon and Trend Friend Signals. The 3 combined give you a lot of extra confirmation on whether the market is going to reverse at these levels.
Auto Support & Resistance Volume Based + ScannerThis indicator tracks large marker maker orders and draws support & resistance levels based on where those orders came in. It allows you to track what the market makers are doing and place your trades in line with them. Look for the lines to suck up to the price and that will show you where large orders are coming in which is where reversals will happen or trend continuation will happen at an accelerated rate. The fat lines are higher timeframe volume spikes and major volume spikes. Look for bounces off of these fat lines. The fatter the line, the bigger the volume spike. The skinny lines are minor volume spikes over shorter time periods. These can be viewed as short term support and resistance levels and consolidation zones.
***HOW TO USE***
Look for bounces off of the fat lines and place trades accordingly. Those levels are where the market makers placed their orders and you will notice how well price reacts to these levels.
Look for the lines to suck up/down to the price. This shows you where volume is coming in which typically means a reversal is about to happen. If a reversal doesn’t happen, then the trend will continue its original direction, but usually move faster. Wait for these lines to suck up to price before trying to buy the bottoms or sell the tops. If you can have the patience to wait for this to happen, it will keep you out of a lot of choppy price action and give you very good places to take trades that move quickly.
When all the levels suck up to the price and all the colors change to red from green or green from red, it is an indication of market sentiment changing and the trend will likely reverse.
For best results, use this on charts for exchanges that have the highest volume and the most institutional buyers as those will give better levels since there are more market makers on those exchanges. Use exchanges such as NYSE, ARCA and NASDAQ for stocks and use COINBASE, BINANCE, MEXC perpetual futures charts or PEPPERSTONE for crypto.
If price breaks out or down from the group of levels and no lines suck up to the price, then it is a low volume breakout and price usually comes right back to the support and resistance levels so beware when this happens.
If there are no levels near the current price, look at the previous levels in that price range as those are still very relevant areas.
You can also draw trendlines from recent high and low points of the lines where they changed, which works very well for finding tops/bottoms in confluence with the real time s&r levels.
I recommend looking at higher timeframes and drawing horizontal lines where the fat lines are that extend for a long period of time. Then you will have those levels on your lower timeframe charts so you don’t miss any major levels that price will likely bounce off of.
Make sure you spend some time looking back at historical data so you can get a feel for how this indicator reacts to volume spikes before using it.
***HIGHER TIMEFRAMES***
This indicator scans higher timeframes for volume spikes, so make sure you update the higher timeframes used when looking at anything higher than the 1 minute timeframe as that is what the settings are optimized for. You can create new chart layouts for each timeframe you use frequently and save your settings on each chart so that you don’t have to update those settings when you switch timeframes.
***SCANNER***
The table at the bottom of the screen scans 8 other tickers for volume spikes. When a volume spike is detected, the color of that ticker will change from blue to orange to notify you. You can customize which tickers the indicator scans within the indicator settings. Make sure to save your chart layout with your updated tickers so you don’t have to change them frequently. Input all tickers from a certain sector to see how that sector is performing overall which can help give you a good idea of the sector as a whole. Save a different chart layout with each different sector you want to scan so you don’t have to switch the tickers frequently.
***ALERTS***
This indicator is set up with alerts that can be turned on to notify you of volume spikes on the ticker that the chart is set to.
***CUSTOMIZATION***
You can customize the colors of the lines and backgrounds in the indicator style tab. You can also turn off the scanner if you want to within the indicator input tab. The tickers to scan can be customized to suit your preferences within the indicator input tab. The higher timeframes used can also be adjusted within the indicator input tab.
***MARKETS***
This indicator can be used on all markets that have volume data, including stocks, crypto, futures and forex.
***TIMEFRAMES***
This indicator can be used on all timeframes as long as there is enough data for the session used.
***TIPS***
Try using numerous indicators of ours on your chart so you can instantly see the bullish or bearish trend of multiple indicators in real time without having to analyze the data. Some of our favorites are our Trend Friend Signals, Volume Profile with Buy & Sell Pressure, RSI Scalper Ribbon and Auto Support & Resistance with Wick Signals to find those major levels that are not associated with volume spikes in combination with this volume based auto support and resistance indicator.
Auto Support & Resistance With Wick Signals & Percentage GapsThis auto support and resistance indicator uses percentage deviations from the previous session close to calculate levels. It provides arrows as signals when it detects 2 wicks in the last 5 bars from a support or resistance level. Includes alerts for price crossing any level as well as real time percentage gaps from current price to the next closest support and resistance level. You also have the option to set up to 3 major levels of your own for any levels that are very important on longer timeframes that you want included. Those will show on the chart as well as within your percentage gap table with color coded background. All features can be customized or turned off to suit your preferences.
SOURCE
This indicator uses the previous session close as a source by default but can be adjusted to use the previous session high or the previous session low. I find the close setting to provide the most accurate levels.
SESSION
The default setting for the previous session used is the daily session but can be adjusted to use the daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly session. Use longer sessions when looking at longer time frame charts.
SIGNALS
The signals by default are set to only show an arrow if there have been 2 bullish or bearish wicks off of a support or resistance level in the last 5 bars. This can be changed to one bullish wick off of support and one bearish wick off of resistance or it can be set to give a signal anytime a bar crosses a support or resistance level. This can be controlled in the indicator settings.
PERCENTAGE DEVIATION LEVELS
The default percentage deviation is set to 1% but can and should be adjusted according to whatever ticker you are using. For example use .25% or .5% when looking at forex intraday charts since they are not as volatile as other markets. For leveraged etfs used 1% multiplied by the leverage on the etf, so for SQQQ use 3% as it is a 3x leveraged etf. When looking at longer timeframes or highly volatile charts, set the percentage deviation to 2%, 5%, 10%, etc.
LINE COLORS
The color of the lines will change from red to green depending on if the price is above or below that level. You can customize these colors in the settings.
MAJOR LEVELS
If you have major levels of support and resistance from longer timeframes and your own charting, you can add up to 3 major levels that will show on the chart as well as show the percentage gaps in the table. The label for each major level will be colored to match the color of the line on the chart individually.
PERCENTAGE GAP TABLE
The gap table will update live with percentages to go from current price to the next closest support and resistance levels so you don’t have to calculate them manually. The position of the percentage gap table can also be changed within the indicator settings.
TURN FEATURES ON/OFF
There are 3 toggle switches so you can easily turn on or off certain features such as: the support and resistance lines, the percentage gaps table and the arrow signals.
LINE WIDTHS
You can also set the line width of all levels and the line width of the starting level within the indicator settings.
***MARKETS***
This indicator can be used as a signal on all markets, including stocks, crypto, futures and forex.
***TIMEFRAMES***
This automatic support and resistance indicator can be used on all timeframes as long as there is enough data for the session used.
***TIPS***
Try using numerous indicators of ours on your chart so you can instantly see the bullish or bearish trend of multiple indicators in real time without having to analyze the data. Some of our favorites are our Volume Spike Scanner, Volume Profile, Momentum and Trend Friend in combination with this auto support and resistance indicator. They all have real time Bullish and Bearish labels as well so you can immediately understand each indicator's trend.
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!
Support Resistance ChannelsHello All,
For Long time I was planning to make Support/Resistance Channels script, finally I had time and here it is.
How this script works?
- it finds and keeps Pivot Points
- when it found a new Pivot Point it clears older S/R channels then;
- for each pivot point it searches all pivot points in its own channel with dynamic width
- while creating the S/R channel it calculates its strength
- then sorts all S/R channels by strength
- it shows the strongest S/R channels, before doing this it checks old location in the list and adjust them for better visibility
- if any S/R channel was broken on last move then it gives alert and put shape below/above the candle
- The colors of the S/R channels are adjusted automatically
You can set/change following settings:
- Pivot Period
- Source : High/Low or Close/Open can be used
- Maximum Channel Width %: this is the maximum channel width rate, this is calculated using Highest/Lowest levels in last 300 bars
- Number of S/R to show : this is the number of Strongest S/R to show
- Loopback Period: While calculating S/R levels it checks Pivot Points in LoopBack Period
- Show S/R on last # Bars: To see S/R levels only on last N bars
- Start Date: the script starts calculating Pivot Point from this date, the reason I put this option is for visuality. Explained below
- You can set colors/transparency
- and You can enable/disable shapes for broken S/R levels
Examples:
You can change colors as you wish:
here " Show S/R on last # Bars " set 100:
Sometimes visuality may corrupt because of old S/R levels, to solve it you need to set "Start Date" in the options to start the script in visual part (last 292 bars)
here in first screenshot it doesn't look good (shrink), then on second screenshot I set the "Start Date" it looks better, if you change time frame don't forget to set it again :)
Enjoy!
TEWY - Magic Support/Resistance1. This Indicator is used to identify the short-term and longer-term Support/Resistance levels.
2. Please try to keep base inputs as provided though it gives you the opportunity to change ticket price source and length as per your convenience.
3. With default settings:
a. The thick Red line is identified as Longer timeframe support
b. The thin Red line is identified as short timeframe support
c. The thick Green Line is identified as Longer timeframe resistance
d. The thick Green line is identified as short timeframe resistance
e. As per this indicator Gray area is where one can avoided taking a position or exit the existing positions if the candle's low or high Brocken which is closing in gray area as per the trade direction
Calculation Logic Used:
1. I calculated an average of 1-20 ROC average and checked price is above the it
2. I calculated 2 ATR based on 20 period to get the nearest support
3. If price is above both of above then plotted longer-term support based on ATR and shorter-term support based on ROC average.
One can use this indicator on any timeframe, though I created to see charts at a monthly and quarterly level to see for the investment opportunity.
Always respect RISKS and follow stoploss.
Let's understand how to take a position using this indicator
Thin Line = Shorter Time frame
Thick Line = Longer Time frame
Long position:-
1. Wait for the Candle to close above the Thin and Thick lines
2. Please make sure the close is firm above both of these lines.
3. Then enter long with stoploss below the Thick line.
4. Keep trailing stoploss with the thin line, so when the candle closes below thin line keep stoploss below low of that candle.
Short Position:-
1. Wait for the Candle to close below the Thin and Thick lines
2. Please make sure the close is firm below both of these lines.
3. Then enter short with stoploss above the Thick line.
4. Keep trailing stoploss with the thin line, so when the candle closes above the thin line, then keep stoploss above high of that candle.
I have given a sample illustrational image below, which should help you understand this indicator
Best of luck
