Premium & Discount Delta Volume [BigBeluga]Premium & Discount Delta Volume is an advanced volume-based tool that helps traders identify zones of market imbalances by using the concepts of premium and discount pricing, commonly taught by ICT trader. It calculates and highlights periods where the market is trading at a premium (selling pressure is stronger) or a discount (buying pressure is stronger) and dynamically plots these zones over time. The indicator also calculates delta volume between buying and selling within these zones, showing shifts in market sentiment and potential areas for reversals or continuations.
🔵 IDEA
The Premium & Discount Delta Volume indicator is rooted in the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concept of premium and discount zones. This concept divides the price action into two key zones:
Premium Zone : This area is where the market is trading at a level where sellers dominate, leading to more selling pressure. The idea is that the price is overvalued, and a potential drop could occur as the market reverts to a balanced state.
Discount Zone : This area is where the market is undervalued, with buyers dominating and applying upward pressure. Prices in this area often indicate opportunities to buy into strength as the market moves back to equilibrium.
At the core of the indicator is the delta volume, which measures the difference between buying and selling pressure within the premium and discount zones. When the delta volume is negative, it signals a downtrend with more selling pressure, while a positive delta volume signals an uptrend with more buying pressure. These zones and their associated delta values update dynamically, providing traders with real-time insights into market strength and potential price reversals.
The equilibrium in the middle of the premium and discount zones represents the balance point between buyers and sellers. When price moves away from equilibrium, it either enters the premium zone (potentially overbought) or the discount zone (potentially oversold), helping traders make more informed decisions based on volume and price structure.
🔵 KEY FEATURES & USAGE
Premium & Discount Zones:
The indicator automatically identifies and plots premium and discount zones on the chart. Premium zones count only negative (selling) volume, while discount zones count only positive (buying) volume. These zones are key areas of interest for identifying potential price reversals or continuations based on volume pressure.
Dynamic Delta Volume Calculation:
The indicator calculates delta volume between the premium and discount zones, showing the imbalance between buyers and sellers. A positive delta volume inside the discount zone suggests strong buying pressure, while a negative delta inside the premium zone suggests strong selling pressure. This helps traders quickly identify trends or market exhaustion.
Up Trend:
Down Trend:
Real-time Updates & Equilibrium Line:
The zones update dynamically every 100 bars or after price crosses them, ensuring that traders always have the most relevant market data. The equilibrium line in the middle of the zones helps traders gauge whether the market is balanced or moving into overbought (premium) or oversold (discount) territory.
Macro and Local Period Calculations:
The indicator allows traders to customize two different periods for analysis: a smaller lookback period (e.g., 50 bars) for short-term price action and a macro period (e.g., 200 bars) for larger trends. Each period has its own premium and discount zones, allowing for a multi-timeframe view of market strength.
Macro:
Both:
Color-coded background for Volume Pressure:
The background color of the smaller period premium and discount box changes based on delta volume. A positive delta turns the background blue, indicating higher buy pressure, while a negative delta turns the background red, signaling higher sell pressure.
🔵 CUSTOMIZATION
Toggle Premium & Discount: Traders can choose to display support and resistance levels based on the high and low points of the premium and discount zones.
Premium & Discount Lookback Period: Traders can adjust the lookback period to define the length of price action to be analyzed for premium and discount zones. A shorter period focuses on more recent market activity, while a longer period provides a broader view of trends.
Macro Highs/Lows Period: The indicator also offers a macro lookback period for identifying larger market trends and key levels of buying or selling volume.
Toggle Macro Levels: Macro levels help identify long-term price extremes, and traders can toggle this feature on or off as needed.

Tail ProbabilitiesThe Tail Probabilities indicator offers a sophisticated analysis of potential price distributions, providing traders with a probabilistic framework for forecasting future price behavior based on historical data. By estimating the likelihood of the price closing above or below specified thresholds, the indicator assists in evaluating market sentiment, volatility, and associated risks. The probability calculations are derived from a user-defined analysis window, which operates independently of the transform length window. The transform length parameter dictates the volume of historical data utilized in the calculations, and it must correspond to the window length applied in the mean and standard deviation lines indicator to ensure consistency in visual representation.
Overview of Plotted Probabilities
This indicator plots three core probabilities and their moving averages, involving four primary user inputs:
User Inputs
Tail Type: Allows the user to choose between analyzing the left tail (representing downside risk) or the right tail (representing upside potential).
Transform Window Length (Bars): Specifies the amount of historical data used to calculate the mean and standard deviation. This value must align with the window length applied in the mean and standard deviation lines indicator .
Analysis Period (Bars): Defines the number of historical bars used for probability analysis, setting the window over which probabilities are computed.
SMA Length (Bars): Specifies the length of the simple moving average (SMA) used to plot the historical average of the calculated probabilities. The SMA Length input allows users to plot a simple moving average of the calculated probabilities, providing a smoother historical average and helping to identify trends in the probability values over time.
Key Probabilities Plotted
Probability to Close Above or Below Upper Bound: Represents the likelihood that the price will close above or below an upper threshold derived from the mean and standard deviation lines indicator . This measure helps identify potential for significant upward or downward price movement, depending on the current price relative to the threshold.
Probability to Close Above or Below Mean: Indicates the probability of the closing price being either above or below the mean level, reflecting historical price tendencies and suggesting the presence of skewness in the price distribution.
Probability to Close Above or Below Lower Bound: Reflects the likelihood of the price closing above or below a lower threshold, offering insights into potential risk and directional movement.
The indicator adjusts based on the chosen tail type ("Left" or "Right"), thereby enabling users to assess both potential upward and downward price movements, making it adaptable to varying market conditions.
How Probabilities Are Calculated
The probabilities are calculated through a detailed analysis of historical price data over a user-specified analysis window. Below is an outline of the key steps involved in these calculations:
Calculate Mean and Standard Deviation: The mean and standard deviation are computed using the transform length window, which defines the historical data range employed.
Define Bounds: Upper, mean, and lower bounds are established based on the calculated mean and standard deviation, allowing identification of significant levels within the price distribution.
Count Events: The frequency with which the closing price crosses above or below these bounds is counted over the user-specified probability analysis window.
Calculate Probabilities: Probabilities are then computed as the percentage of observed events relative to the total number of observations in the analysis window.
For example, the probability of closing above the upper bound is calculated as:
Probability = (Number of times price closes above the upper bound) / (Total number of observations in the analysis window) * 100
Practical Usage
Risk Management: The indicator provides a quantitative measure of the probability of extreme price movements, aiding traders in setting stop-loss and take-profit levels based on statistical expectations.
Trend Analysis: The probability of closing above the mean can also serve as an indicator of potential skewness in the price distribution. Values above 50 indicate a right-skewed distribution, while values below 50 indicate a left-skewed distribution for the right tail probability. For the left tail probability, values over 50 indicate a left skew and values below 50 indicate a right skew in the distribution.
Scenario Analysis: By focusing on either the left or right tail, traders can quickly determine whether to prioritize downside protection or capitalize on upside potential. Depending on market conditions and whether the trader is long or short, both upward and downward movements can be analyzed, enabling a comprehensive risk assessment.
Limitations
While the Tail Probabilities indicator provides valuable probabilistic insights based on historical data, it is crucial to understand that historical performance does not guarantee future outcomes. Market dynamics are subject to rapid changes, and relying exclusively on historical probabilities may result in inaccurate assessments. Traders should use this indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools, fundamental analysis, and an understanding of broader market conditions to ensure robust decision-making.
Summary
The Tail Probabilities indicator is an advanced tool designed for traders seeking a probabilistic perspective on market behavior. By providing critical insights into the potential distribution of prices beyond significant thresholds, the indicator supports informed decision-making, whether in trending or uncertain market environments.
Multi Timeframe Breakout/Retest (Gap, FVG, B&R)📊 Breakout & Retest Multi-Timeframe Indicator - Support and Resistance Indicator 📊
In short, this indicator scans 4 timeframes of your choice to check if a proper breakout of your support and resistance lines you input has happened. It color-coats your support and resistance levels based on the type of breakout, labels the levels, and shows which timeframes have had a proper breakout in an interactive table. This tool is primarily used to determine when a breakout—whether Fair Value Gap (FVG), gap, or regular—has occurred, allowing you to confidently play the retest.
🔍 Types of Breakouts:
This indicator highlights three types of breakouts:
Regular Breakouts: Defined when a candle breaks above or below your level, then closes, and the next candle’s wick does not touch that level.
Gap Breakouts: A gap breakout occurs when we gap above or below the level—often happening on daily candle opens and closes.
FVG Breakouts: An FVG breakout happens when a breakout above or below your level forms a Fair Value Gap, with your level inside the gap. These breakouts tend to have stronger retests
📋 Interactive Table
The table helps you visualize which levels are experiencing a breakout and on which timeframes. It color-codes each level based on breakout activity:
🔴 Red: No active breakouts
🟢 Green: Active regular breakout
🔵 Blue: Active FVG breakout
🟡 Yellow: Active gap breakout
🎨 Color Coating & Minimum Timeframe Breakouts
To make sure you're playing a true breakout, you want confirmation on at least 3 of your chosen timeframes. This indicator has an adjustable "active minimum breakout" setting, which can be customized between 1 and 4 timeframes. I personally find that when a breakout occurs on at least 3 timeframes, the retest tends to have a higher success rate. But you can adjust this setting based on your strategy.

Trading Ranges + ZScoreOverview
The "Trading Ranges + ZScore" script is a versatile technical indicator developed for TradingView. This tool combines two powerful concepts—price ranges and Z-Score analysis—to help traders identify potential trend reversals, overbought/oversold conditions, and trend strength. The script dynamically calculates price ranges based on recent price action and utilizes Z-Score to detect deviations from a statistical norm, providing valuable insights for decision-making in both ranging and trending markets.
Features
Price Ranges: Calculates dynamic upper and lower price boundaries based on volatility and market structure.
Z-Score Oscillator: A statistical measure that highlights overbought/oversold conditions based on the deviation from a moving average.
Trend Detection: Identifies trend continuation or reversal points by comparing current price action against historical levels.
Customizable Alerts: Generates visual signals (diamonds and X crosses) for potential long/short entries and exits.
Visual Representation: Colors the bars based on Z-Score and trend direction, enhancing the chart’s readability and signal clarity.
Customizable Parameters: The script allows users to fine-tune perception length, analysis period, factor multiplier, and oscillator thresholds to fit different market conditions.
Key Input Parameters
Perception: The length used for calculating highest/lowest price points (default: 20).
Analysis: The length used for calculating the moving average and volatility (default: 100).
Factor: A multiplier to adjust the width of the price ranges (default: 2.0).
Oscillator Threshold: The overbought/oversold threshold for the Z-Score oscillator (default: 70).
Trend Filter: A boolean switch that filters signals based on trend direction.
Fill Zones: Option to color-fill between price levels when certain conditions are met.
Bullish/Bearish/Neutral Colors: Customizable colors for bullish, bearish, and neutral signals.
How It Works
Price Ranges Calculation:
The script calculates five levels: two upper boundaries, the average price level, and two lower boundaries. These levels are based on the highest/lowest prices over a user-defined period and adjusted by volatility (Average True Range).
When the price crosses either of these levels, it suggests a significant change in market direction, potentially indicating a trend reversal.
Z-Score Oscillator:
The Z-Score is a statistical measurement of a price's position relative to its moving average. The indicator calculates two variations:
Z-Score based on the absolute difference between the price and the moving average.
Z-Score based on standard deviation.
These oscillators help detect extreme conditions where the price is likely to revert (overbought/oversold zones).
Trend Detection and Signals:
The indicator generates potential buy/sell signals when the price crosses the predefined levels or based on the fast Z-Score crossing the overbought/oversold thresholds.
Weak long/short signals are shown when the faster Z-Score oscillator reaches extreme levels but trend filters are applied to avoid noise.
Bar Colors and Signal Shapes:
Bar colors change dynamically to reflect the trend direction and Z-Score conditions. Signals for potential trades are displayed using diamonds and X crosses, making it easy to spot opportunities visually.
Visuals and Plots
Bar Colors: Changes the bar color based on Z-Score and trend direction.
Z-Score Plot: Displays two Z-Score oscillators, the standard and a faster one for detecting quicker price deviations.
Overbought/Oversold Zones: Highlighted by upper and lower thresholds of the Z-Score.
Long/Short Signals: Uses diamond-shaped markers for strong long/short signals and X-shaped markers for weaker signals.
Dynamic Range Lines: Plots lines for key price levels (upper/lower boundaries, mid-range) based on the dynamic range calculations.
Usage Guide
Identify Overbought/Oversold Conditions: Look for the Z-Score reaching extreme positive or negative values. When combined with trend signals, these conditions often point to a potential reversal.
Follow the Trend: Use the trend filter option to focus only on trades in the direction of the prevailing trend, reducing false signals in ranging markets.
Watch for Range Breakouts: Pay attention to the upper and lower boundaries. Price crossing these levels often signals the start of a new trend or a major price movement.
Adjust Parameters: Tailor the perception length, analysis length, and multiplier to suit different asset classes or timeframes.
Customization
You can adjust the key parameters to adapt the indicator to different markets or personal trading preferences:
- Perception & Analysis Lengths: Control the sensitivity of the price range calculations.
- Factor Multiplier: Adjusts the width of the ranges, with higher values indicating larger zones.
- Oscillator Threshold: Modify the overbought/oversold levels to suit different market volatility.
- Trend Filter: Toggle on/off to focus on trend-following strategies or range-bound conditions.
- Visual Options: Customize colors for bullish, bearish, and neutral signals, as well as enable/disable the zone fills.
Volumetric Volatility Breaker Blocks [UAlgo]The "Volumetric Volatility Breaker Blocks " indicator is designed for traders who want a comprehensive understanding of market volatility combined with volume analysis. This indicator provides a clear visualization of significant volatility areas (or blocks), characterized by price movements that exceed a specific volatility threshold, as calculated using the ATR (Average True Range). The concept is enhanced by integrating volume-based insights, offering a view of market activity that helps users to recognize when significant price changes are being supported by an appropriate level of market participation.
The indicator calculates breaker blocks for both bullish and bearish market conditions, providing distinct visual elements that identify periods of high volatility and substantial volume divergence. The focus on both volume and volatility makes this tool versatile, allowing traders to assess the strength of price movements as well as areas where price might break above or below previously established levels.
It supports adjustable parameters, such as volatility length, smoothness factor, and volume display, allowing traders to fine-tune the indicator according to their trading strategy and market environment. The highlighted breaker blocks assist in identifying zones of potential price reversal or continuation, which can be critical for making informed trading decisions.
🔶 Key Features
Volatility-Based Block Identification: The indicator uses the Average True Range (ATR) to determine the volatility of the market. When the ATR exceeds a specified threshold (smooth ATR multiplied by a user-defined multiplier), it highlights these areas as volatility blocks. The idea is to mark periods where price activity is significantly divergent from normal conditions, which often signals market opportunities.
Volume Integrated Analysis: In addition to tracking volatility, the indicator incorporates volume data, allowing traders to see the amount of activity that occurs during these high-volatility periods. This helps in identifying whether a price movement is likely sustainable or whether it lacks market support.
User Adjustable Parameters: The indicator offers customization options for the volatility length (using ATR), smooth length, and multiplier for sensitivity adjustment. These settings enable users to modify the indicator’s responsiveness to market conditions.
The option to display the last few volatility blocks allows traders to manage clutter on their charts and focus only on the most recent significant data.
Mitigation Method: Users can select between different mitigation methods ("Close" or "Wick") to determine how blocks are broken. This adds an extra layer of adaptability, allowing traders to modify the indicator's response based on different price action strategies.
Dynamic Visual Representation: The indicator dynamically draws boxes for volatility blocks and shades them according to market direction, with split areas showing the bullish and bearish strength contributions. It also provides percentage volume for each block, helping traders understand the relative market participation during these moves.
🔶 Interpreting the Indicator
Identifying High Volatility Areas: When a new volatility block appears, it signifies that the market is experiencing higher-than-usual volatility, driven by increased ATR values. Traders should pay attention to these blocks, as they often indicate that a significant price move is occurring. Bullish blocks suggest upward pressure, whereas bearish blocks indicate downward pressure.
Volume Insights: The volume associated with each volatility block provides an insight into how much market participation accompanies these moves. Higher volume within a block implies that the market is actively supporting the price change, which may be a sign of continuation. Low volume suggests that the movement may lack the strength to persist.
Bullish vs. Bearish Strength Analysis: Each block is split into bullish and bearish strength, giving a clearer picture of what’s happening within the volatility period. If the bullish portion dominates, it indicates strong upward sentiment during that period. Conversely, if the bearish side is more prominent, there is more selling pressure. This breakdown helps in understanding intra-block market dynamics.
Volume Percentage Display: The indicator also displays the volume percentage in each block, which provides context for the strength of the move relative to recent market activity. Higher percentages mean more market engagement, which could confirm the legitimacy of a trend or a significant breakout.

Support Resistance ImportanceThe Support Resistance Importance indicator is designed to highlight key price levels based on the relationship between fractal occurrences and volume distribution within a given price range. By dividing the range into bins, the indicator calculates the total volume traded at each fractal level and normalizes the values for easy visualization. The normalized values represent an "importance score" for each price range, helping traders identify critical support and resistance levels where price action might react.
Key Features:
Fractal Detection:
The indicator detects Williams Fractals, which are specific price patterns representing potential market reversals. It identifies both upward fractals (potential resistance) and downward fractals (potential support).
Price Range Binning:
The price range is divided into a user-defined number of bins (default is 20). Each bin represents a segment of the total price range, allowing the indicator to bucket price action and track fractal volumes in each bin.
Volume-Based Importance Calculation:
For each bin, the indicator sums up the volume traded at the time a fractal occurred. The volumes are then normalized to reflect their relative importance.
The importance score is calculated as the relative volume in each bin, representing the potential influence of that price range. Higher scores indicate stronger support or resistance levels.
Normalization:
The volume data is normalized to allow for better comparison across bins. This normalization ensures that the highest and lowest volumes are scaled between 0 and 1 for visualization purposes. The smallest volume value is used to scale the rest, ensuring meaningful comparisons.
Visualization:
The indicator provides a table-based visualization showing the price range and the corresponding importance score for each bin.
Each bin is color-coded based on the normalized importance score, with blue or greenish shades indicating higher importance levels. The current price range is highlighted to help traders quickly identify relevant areas of interest.
Trading Utility:
Traders can use the importance scores to identify price levels where significant volume has accumulated at fractals. A higher importance score suggests a stronger likelihood of the price reacting to that level.
If a price moves towards a bin with a high score and the bins above it have much smaller values, it suggests that the price may "pump" up to the next high-scored range, similar to how price drops can occur.
Example Use Case:
Suppose the price approaches a bin with an importance score of 25, and the bins above have much smaller values. This suggests that price may break higher towards the next significant level of resistance, offering traders an opportunity to capitalize on the move by entering long positions or adjusting their stop losses.
This indicator is particularly useful for support and resistance trading, where understanding key levels of price action and volume can improve decision-making in anticipating market reactions.
Implied Volatility WallsThe Implied Volatility Walls (IVW) indicator is a powerful and advanced trading tool designed to help traders identify key market zones where price may encounter significant resistance or support based on volatility. Using implied volatility, historical volatility, and machine learning models, IVW provides traders with a comprehensive understanding of market dynamics. This indicator is especially useful for those who wish to forecast volatility-driven price movements and adjust their trading strategies accordingly.
How the Implied Volatility Walls (IVW) Works:
The Implied Volatility Walls (IVW) indicator uses a combination of historical price data and advanced machine learning algorithms to calculate key volatility levels and forecast future market conditions. It tracks cumulative volatility, identifies support and resistance zones, and detects liquidation bubbles to highlight critical price areas.
The main concept behind this tool is that price tends to move most of the time by the same amount, making it possible to average the past maximum excursion in order to obtain a validated area where traders can be able to see clearly that the price is moving more than normal.
This indicator primarily focuses on:
1. Volatility Zones: Potential support and resistance levels based on implied and historical volatility.
2. Machine Learning Volatility Forecast: A machine learning model that predicts high, medium, or low volatility for future market conditions.
3. Liquidation Detection: Highlights key areas of potential forced liquidations, where market participants may be forced out of their positions, often leading to significant price movements.
4. Backtesting and Win Rate: The indicator continuously monitors how effective its volatility-based predictions are, offering insights into the performance of its predictions.
Key Features:
1. Volatility Tracking:
- The IVW indicator calculates cumulative volatility by analyzing the range between the high and low prices over time. It also tracks volatility percentiles and separates the market conditions into high, medium, or low volatility zones, enabling traders to gauge how volatile the market is.
2. Volatility Walls (Upper and Lower Zones):
- Upper Volatility Wall (Red Zones): Represent resistance levels where the price might encounter difficulty moving higher due to excess in volatility. This zone is calculated based on the chosen percentile in the settings.
- Lower Volatility Wall (Blue Zones): Represent support levels where price may find buying support.
- These walls help traders visualize potential zones where reversals or breakouts could occur based on volatility conditions.
3. Machine Learning Forecast:
- One of the standout features of the IVW indicator is its machine learning algorithm that estimates future volatility levels. It categorizes volatility into high, medium, and low based on recent data and provides forecasts on what the next market condition is likely to be.
- This forecast helps traders anticipate market conditions and adapt their strategies accordingly. It is displayed on the chart as "Exp. Vol", providing insight into the future expected volatility.
4. VIX Adjustments:
- The indicator can be adjusted using the well-known **VIX (Volatility Index)** to further refine its volatility predictions. This enables traders to incorporate market sentiment into their analysis, improving the accuracy of the predictions for different market conditions.
5. Liquidation Bubbles:
- The Liquidation Bubbles feature highlights areas where large forced selling or buying events may occur, which are usually accompanied by spikes in volatility and volume. These bubbles appear when price deviates significantly from moving averages with substantial volume increases, alerting traders to potential volatile moves.
- Red dots indicate likely forced liquidations on the upside, and blue dots indicate forced liquidations on the downside. These bubbles can help traders spot moments of market stress and potential price swings due to liquidations.
6. Dynamic Volatility Zones:
- IVW dynamically adjusts support and resistance levels as market conditions evolve. This allows traders to always have up-to-date and relevant information based on the latest volatility patterns.
7. Cumulative Volatility Histogram:
- At the bottom of the chart, the purple histogram represents cumulative volatility over time, giving traders a visual cue of whether volatility is building up or subsiding. This can provide early signals of market transitions from low to high volatility, aiding traders in timing their entries and exits more accurately.
8. Backtesting and Win Rate:
- The IVW indicator includes a backtesting function that monitors the success of its volatility predictions over a selected period. It shows a Win Rate (WR) percentage (with 33% meaning that the machine learning algorithm does not bring any edge), representing how often the indicator's predictions were correct. This metric is crucial for assessing the reliability of the model’s forecasts.
9. Opening Range:
- At the beginning of a new session, the indicator will plot two lines indicating the high and the low of the first candle of the new time frame chosen.
Chart Breakdown:
Below is a description of what users see when using the Implied Volatility Walls (IVW) indicator on the chart:
Volatility Walls:
- Red shaded zones at the top represent upper volatility walls (resistance zones), while blue shaded zones at the bottom represent lower volatility walls (support zones). These areas show where price is likely to react due to high or low volatility conditions.
Liquidation Bubbles:
- Red and blue dots plotted above and below the price represent **liquidation bubbles**, indicating moments of market stress where volatility and volume spikes may force market participants to exit positions.
Cumulative Volatility Histogram:
- The purple histogram at the bottom of the chart reflects the buildup of cumulative volatility over time. Higher bars suggest increased volatility, signaling the potential for large price movements, while smaller bars represent calmer market conditions.
Real-Time Support and Resistance Levels:
- Solid and dashed lines represent current and historical support and resistance levels, helping traders identify price zones that have historically acted as volatility-driven turning points.
Gradient Bar Colors:
- The price bars change color based on their proximity to the volatility walls, with different colors representing how close the price is to these key levels. This color gradient provides a quick visual cue of potential market turning points.

3. Heatmap Group:
Show Heatmap:
Toggle the heatmap display on/off. When enabled, the script visualizes the strength of the zones using color intensity.
Core Logic:
Pivot Calculation:
The script identifies support and resistance zones by using the pivotHigh and pivotLow functions. These pivots are calculated using a lookback period, which defines the number of candles to the left and right of the pivot point.
ATR-Based Threshold:
ATR (Average True Range) is used to create dynamic zones based on volatility. The ATR acts as a buffer around the identified pivot points, creating zones that are more flexible and adaptable to market conditions.
Merging Zones:
If two zones are close to each other (within a certain threshold), they are merged into a single zone. This reduces overlapping zones and gives a cleaner visual representation of significant price levels.
Confirmation Mechanism:
Each time the price touches a zone, the confirmation counter for that zone increases. The more confirmations a zone has, the more reliable it is. Zones are only displayed if they meet the required number of confirmations as specified by the user.
Color Gradient:
Zones are color-coded based on the number of confirmations. A gradient is used to visually represent the strength of each zone, with stronger zones being more vividly colored.
Heatmap Visualization:
When the heatmap is enabled, the color intensity of the zones is adjusted based on the proximity of the price to the zone and the number of touches the zone has received. This helps traders quickly identify which zones are more critical.
How to Use:
Identifying Support and Resistance Zones:
After adding the indicator to your chart, you will see horizontal lines representing key support (bullish) and resistance (bearish) levels. These zones are dynamically updated based on price action and pivots.
Adjusting Zone Sensitivity:
Use the "ATR Multiplier" to fine-tune how sensitive the indicator is to price fluctuations. A higher multiplier will reduce the number of zones, focusing on more significant levels.
Using Confirmations:
The more times a price interacts with a zone, the stronger that zone becomes. Use the "Confirmations" input to filter out weaker zones. This ensures that only zones with enough interaction (touches) are plotted.
Activating the Heatmap:
Enabling the heatmap will provide a color-coded visual representation of the strength of the zones. Zones with more price interactions will appear more vividly, helping you focus on the most significant areas.
Best Practices:
Combine with Other Indicators:
This support and resistance indicator works well when combined with other technical analysis tools, such as oscillators (e.g., RSI, MACD) or moving averages, for better trade confirmations.
Adjust Sensitivity Based on Market Conditions:
In volatile markets, you may want to increase the ATR multiplier to focus on more significant support and resistance zones. In calmer markets, decreasing the multiplier can help you spot smaller, but relevant, levels.
Use in Different Time Frames:
This indicator can be used effectively across different time frames, from intraday charts (e.g., 1-minute or 5-minute charts) to longer-term analysis on daily or weekly charts.
Look for Confluences:
Zones that overlap with other indicators, such as Fibonacci retracements or key moving averages, tend to be more reliable. Use the zones in conjunction with other forms of analysis to increase your confidence in trade setups.
Limitations and Considerations:
False Breakouts:
In highly volatile markets, there may be false breakouts where the price briefly moves through a zone without a sustained trend. Consider combining this indicator with momentum-based tools to avoid false signals.
Sensitivity to ATR Settings:
The ATR multiplier is a key component of this indicator. Adjusting it too high or too low may result in too few or too many zones, respectively. It is important to fine-tune this setting based on your specific trading style and market conditions.

Zero-Lag MA Trend Levels [ChartPrime] The Zero-Lag MA Trend Levels indicator combines a Zero-Lag Moving Average (ZLMA) with a standard Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to provide a dynamic view of the market trend. This indicator uses a color-changing cloud to represent shifts in trend momentum and plots key levels when trend reversals are detected. The addition of trend level boxes helps identify significant price zones where market shifts occur, with retest signals aiding in spotting potential continuation or reversal points.
⯁ KEY FEATURES & HOW TO USE
⯌ Zero-Lag Moving Average (ZLMA) with EMA Cloud :
The indicator employs a Zero-Lag Moving Average (ZLMA) alongside a standard EMA.
series float emaValue = ta.ema(close, length) // EMA of the closing price
series float correction = close + (close - emaValue) // Correction factor for zero-lag calculation
series float zlma = ta.ema(correction, length) // Zero-Lag Moving Average (ZLMA)
The cloud between these averages changes color depending on the trend direction. During a downtrend, if the ZLMA begins to increase, the cloud partially turns green, signaling potential strength. Conversely, during an uptrend, if the ZLMA decreases, the cloud partially turns to the downtrend color (blue by default), indicating potential weakness.
Use : Traders can monitor the cloud's color shifts for early signs of changing momentum. A fully colored cloud aligning with the current trend indicates a strong directional move, while mixed colors suggest a potential trend change.
⯌ Trend Shift and Level Boxes :
Each time a crossover between the EMA and the ZLMA occurs, indicating a trend shift, the indicator plots a box around the price level where the shift occurred. This box remains on the chart to mark the price zone of the trend change.
Use : The boxes provide clear visual markers of where market sentiment shifted. These levels can act as support and resistance zones. Traders can use these boxes to identify potential entry or exit points when the market retests these key levels.
⯌ Retest Detection with Labels :
If the price action crosses a previously plotted trend level box, the indicator marks this event with triangle labels. An upward triangle (▲) appears when the price retests the top of a box during a bullish crossover, and a downward triangle (▼) appears when the price retests the bottom of a box during a bearish crossunder.
Use : These labels help traders identify potential continuation or reversal points at critical price levels, offering additional confirmation for trading decisions.
⯌ Dynamic Color-Coding :
The color of the ZLMA and the EMA is adjusted according to their current trend direction, with the ZLMA adopting green for upward trends and blue for downward trends. This visual representation makes it easier to quickly gauge the market's momentum at a glance.
Use : Traders can use the color-coding to quickly assess the strength and direction of the current trend, allowing for more informed decision-making.
⯁ USER INPUTS
Length : Sets the period for both the ZLMA and EMA calculations.
Trend Levels : Toggle to display the trend level boxes on the chart.
Colors (+ / -) : Define the colors for bullish and bearish trends.
⯁ CONCLUSION
The Zero-Lag MA Trend Levels - ChartPrime indicator offers a nuanced approach to trend detection by combining the ZLMA with a traditional EMA. Its dynamic cloud color changes, trend level boxes, and retest labels make it a versatile tool for traders seeking to identify trend shifts and key price zones effectively. By incorporating elements of support and resistance along with trend momentum, this indicator provides a comprehensive view of market dynamics for both trend-following and counter-trend trading strategies.

Fibonacci Swing Trading BotStrategy Overview for "Fibonacci Swing Trading Bot"
Strategy Name: Fibonacci Swing Trading Bot
Version: Pine Script v5
Purpose: This strategy is designed for swing traders who want to leverage Fibonacci retracement levels and candlestick patterns to enter and exit trades on higher time frames.
Key Components:
1. Multiple Timeframe Analysis:
The strategy uses a customizable timeframe for analysis. You can choose between 4hour, daily, weekly, or monthly time frames to fit your preferred trading horizon. The high and low-price data is retrieved from the selected timeframe to identify swing points.
2. Fibonacci Retracement Levels:
The script calculates two key Fibonacci retracement levels:
0.618: A common level where price often retraces before resuming its trend.
0.786: A deeper retracement level, often used to identify stronger support/resistance areas.
These levels are dynamically plotted on the chart based on the highest high and lowest low over the last 50 bars of the selected timeframe.
3. Candlestick Based Entry Signals:
The strategy uses candlestick patterns as the only indicator for trade entries:
Bullish Candle: A green candle (close > open) that forms between the 0.618 retracement level and the swing high.
Bearish Candle: A red candle (close < open) that forms between the 0.786 retracement level and the swing low.
When these candlestick patterns align with the Fibonacci levels, the script triggers buy or sell signals.
4. Risk Management:
Stop Loss: The stop loss is set at 1% below the entry price for long trades and 1% above the entry price for short trades. This tight risk management ensures controlled losses.
Take Profit: The strategy uses a 2:1 risk-to-reward ratio. The take profit is automatically calculated based on this ratio relative to the stop loss.
5. Buy/Sell Logic:
Buy Signal: Triggered when a bullish candle forms above the 0.618 retracement level and below the swing high. The bot then places a long position.
Sell Signal: Triggered when a bearish candle forms below the 0.786 retracement level and above the swing low. The bot then places a short position.
The stop loss and take profit levels are automatically managed once the trade is placed.
Strengths of This Strategy:
Swing Trading Focus: The strategy is ideal for swing traders, targeting longer-term price moves that can take days or weeks to play out.
Simple Yet Effective Indicators: By only relying on Fibonacci retracement levels and basic candlestick patterns, the strategy avoids complexity while capitalizing on well-known support and resistance zones.
Automated Risk Management: The built-in stop loss and take profit mechanism ensures trades are protected, adhering to a strict 2:1 risk/reward ratio.
Multiple Timeframe Analysis: The script adapts to various market conditions by allowing users to switch between different timeframes (4hour, daily, weekly, monthly), giving traders flexibility.
Strategy Use Cases:
Retracement Traders: Traders who focus on entering the market at key retracement levels (0.618 and 0.786) will find this strategy especially useful.
Trend Reversal Traders: The strategy’s reliance on candlestick formations at Fibonacci levels helps traders spot potential reversals in price trends.
Risk Conscious Traders: With its 1% risk per trade and 2:1 risk/reward ratio, the strategy is ideal for traders who prioritize risk management in their trades.
Day & Swing Trading EMA Clouds with Adaptive LevelsDay & Swing Trading EMA Clouds with Adaptive Levels is a tool designed for traders who need a flexible indicator that adapts to both short-term (day trading) and long-term (swing trading) strategies. The indicator blends EMA clouds and adaptive support/resistance levels, making it suitable for analyzing trend strength and key price zones.
How It Works:
EMA Clouds for Trend Detection:
This indicator uses three EMAs (Fast, Intermediate, Slow) to create two clouds:
Fast Cloud: The area between the fast and Intermediate EMAs.
Slow Cloud: The area between the Intermediate and slow EMAs.
The cloud colors change based on trend direction:
Positive (uptrend): When the fast EMA is above the Intermediate EMA (turquoise) or the Intermediate EMA is above the slow EMA (teal).
Negative (downtrend): When the fast EMA is below the Intermediate EMA (pink) or the Intermediate EMA is below the slow EMA (magenta).
Traders can use these clouds to visually gauge market momentum and trend reversals.
Adaptive EMA Settings Based on Trading Mode:
The EMA lengths adjust automatically depending on whether you're in Day Trading or Swing Trading mode:
Day Trading Mode uses shorter periods to capture quick price movements:
Fast EMA: 5-period
Mid EMA: 13-period
Slow EMA: 21-period
Swing Trading Mode uses longer periods to capture broader trends:
Fast EMA: 12-period
Mid EMA: 26-period
Slow EMA: 50-period
This dynamic adjustment allows you to switch between trading styles seamlessly, with the EMAs reflecting the most relevant timeframes for each strategy.
Adaptive Support and Resistance Levels:
Depending on the selected trading mode, the indicator dynamically plots key levels:
Day Trading Mode: Previous day’s high, low, and midpoint, as well as 2-day levels.
Swing Trading Mode: Previous month’s high, low, and midpoint, as well as 2-month levels.
These levels act as dynamic support and resistance zones, giving traders critical areas to monitor for potential reversals or breakouts.
Buy & Sell Signals:
Visual buy/sell signals are generated when the fast EMA crosses above or below the slow EMA. These signals can help traders identify potential trend reversals.
Customization:
You can fully adjust the transparency and colors of the clouds to fit your personal preferences and trading style.
Why This Combination?
Combining EMA clouds with adaptive levels provides traders with a complete picture. The clouds highlight the underlying market momentum and trend strength, while the adaptive levels offer potential entry/exit points based on historical price action. This unique mashup allows traders to follow trends and plan trades around key support and resistance zones.
Periodic Linear Regressions [LuxAlgo]The Periodic Linear Regressions (PLR) indicator calculates linear regressions periodically (similar to the VWAP indicator) based on a user-set period (anchor).
This allows for estimating underlying trends in the price, as well as providing potential supports/resistances.
🔶 USAGE
The Periodic Linear Regressions indicator calculates a linear regression over a user-selected interval determined from the selected "Anchor Period".
The PLR can be visualized as a regular linear regression (Static), with a fit readjusting for new data points until the end of the selected period, or as a moving average (Rolling), with new values obtained from the last point of a linear regression fitted over the calculation interval. While the static method line is prone to repainting, it has value since it can further emphasize the linearity of an underlying trend, as well as suggest future trend directions by extrapolating the fit.
Extremities are included in the indicator, these are obtained from the root mean squared error (RMSE) between the price and calculated linear regression. The Multiple setting allows the users to control how far each extremity is from the other.
Periodic Linear Regressions can be helpful in finding support/resistance areas or even opportunities when ranging in a channel.
The anchor - where a new period starts - can be shown (in this case in the top right corner).
The shown bands can be visualized by enabling Show Extremities in settings ( Rolling or Static method).
The script includes a background gradient color option for the bands, which only applies when using the Rolling method.
The indicator colors can be suggestive of the detected trend and are determined as follows:
Method Rolling: a gradient color between red and green indicates the trend; more green if the output is rising, suggesting an uptrend, and more red if it is decreasing, suggesting a downtrend.
Method Static: green if the slope of the line is positive, suggesting an uptrend, red if negative, suggesting a downtrend.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Anchor Type
When the Anchor Type is set to Periodic , the indicator will be reset when the "Anchor Period" changes, after which calculations will start again.
An anchored rolling line set at First Bar won't reset at a new session; it will continue calculating the linear regression from the first bar to the last; in other words, every bar is included in the calculation. This can be useful to detect potential long-term tops/bottoms.
Note that a linear regression needs at least two values for its calculation, which explains why you won't see a static line at the first bar of the session. The rolling linear regression will only show from the 3rd bar of the session since it also needs a previous value.
🔹 Rolling/Static
When Anchor Type is set at Periodic , a linear regression is calculated between the first bar of the chosen session and the current bar, aiming to find the line that best fits the dataset.
The example above shows the lines drawn during the session. The offered script, though, shows the last calculated point connected to the previous point when the Rolling method is chosen, while the Static method shows the latest line.
Note that linear regression needs at least two values, which explains why you won't see a static line at the first bar of the session. The rolling line will only show from the 3rd bar of the session since it also needs a previous value.
🔶 SETTINGS
Method: Indicator method used, with options: "Static" (straight line) / "Rolling" (rolling linear regression).

Key Zone LocatorThe "Key Locator" indicator identifies important price levels on a chart by analyzing historical data. It does this by:
Counting Touches: It calculates how many times the price touches each level within a specified period. This helps identify levels that the market frequently interacts with, which can indicate significant support or resistance.
Measuring Volume: It also sums up the trading volume at each level during the same period. High volume at a particular level can suggest strong interest or activity, making that level more significant.s based on historical market activity.
By combining these two metrics—touches and volume—the indicator highlights the most important price level on the chart, helping traders make informed decisions based on where the market has shown significant activity in the past.
Level Calculation:
The indicator first identifies the highest and lowest prices over a specified period, which is determined by the length parameter. It then divides this price range into 200 equal segments, creating potential key levels across the chart. Each segment represents a level where the price might show significant activity.
Metric Calculation:
For each of these levels, the indicator calculates two key metrics. First, it counts how many times the price touches or crosses each level during the specified period. Second, it sums up the trading volume associated with these touches at each level. This dual analysis helps in identifying levels that are not only frequently interacted with but also have substantial trading activity.
Normalization:
To facilitate comparison between different levels, the indicator normalizes both the touch count and the volume for each level to a scale from 0 to 10. This involves dividing each metric by its maximum observed value in the period and scaling it accordingly, ensuring that both metrics are on a comparable scale.
Scoring and Balancing:
Each level is assigned a score based on a weighted average of its normalized touch and volume scores. The weight_balance parameter allows users to adjust the emphasis between touches and volume. A higher weight on touches will prioritize levels frequently interacted with, while more emphasis on volume will highlight levels with significant trading activity.
Identify Key Level:
Finally, the indicator identifies the level with the highest combined score as the most significant. This key level is plotted on the chart in red, providing traders with a visual indication of potential areas of support or resistance based on historical data.
This comprehensive approach allows traders to pinpoint where crucial market activity has occurred, aiding them in making strategic decisions based on historical price behavior and trading volumes.
Please note that while the "Key Locator" indicator provides valuable insights based on historical data, it does not guarantee future performance or outcomes. Trading involves risks, and it's important to use this tool in conjunction with other analysis methods and risk management strategies. Always consider your financial situation and consult with a financial advisor if necessary before making trading decisions.
Supply Demand by WowTradingInfoThis indicator identifies supply and demand zones based on price action, which is a crucial concept for technical analysis. Supply zones represent areas where the price has historically shown selling pressure, while demand zones show areas with strong buying interest.
Explanation:
Rally-Base-Rally (RBR):
A rally is defined as a price movement where the percentage increase between the current high and the previous low.
A base is defined as a period of consolidation where price stays within a narrow range, with low volatility.
A RBR pattern is detected when a rally occurs, followed by a base, and then another rally.
Drop-Base-Drop (DBD):
A drop is identified when the price decrease between the current low and the previous high.
A DBD pattern is detected when a drop occurs, followed by a base, and then another drop.
Zone Marking:
RBR Zones are drawn with repaint the candles color as yellow (where buyers are likely to step in).
DBD Zones are drawn with repaint the candles color as pink (where sellers are likely to step in).
Example Use Case:
Rally-Base-Rally: When you see a yellow zone, it suggests that price rallied, consolidated, and is likely to rally again. It can be used as a potential demand zone.
Drop-Base-Drop: pink zones indicate that price dropped, consolidated, and may drop again. It can be used as a potential supply zone.
This script will help you automatically detect and visualize RBR and DBD patterns on your TradingView chart. These zones can provide valuable insights into areas where price may react due to past buying or selling pressure.
Support and Resistance DynamicThis indicator is designed to plot horizontal lines on significant Support and Resistance based on custom user-defined lookback periods. It helps traders identify key levels of support and resistance, improving their ability to detect potential trend reversals or breakout zones.
Key Features:
1. Custom Number of Support and Resistance Lines:
- The script allows users to independently control the number of horizontal lines for Support and Resistance, helping to focus on the most important levels.
2. Adjustable Lookback Period
- Customize the lookback periods for detecting support and resistance, giving you the flexibility to capture different swing points in various market conditions.
3. Minimum Difference Filter:
- The script includes a customizable minimum difference percentage filter to ensure only significant pivots are plotted, avoiding clutter and focusing on more meaningful levels.
4. Automatic Line Extension:
- Pivot high and low lines automatically extend to the right, clearly marking key levels until they are broken or surpassed by price action.
This tool is ideal for technical traders who rely on support and resistance zones for making trading decisions. Whether you are swing trading, day trading, or scalping, these key levels can help enhance your chart analysis.
How to Use:
- Customize the number of support and resistance lines to suit your strategy.

- Fine-tune the minimum difference percentage to filter out noise and focus on stronger support and resistance.
This script provides a dynamic and customizable way to visualize support and resistance, helping you spot key turning points and make informed trading decisions.
Benito CL Levels by Melon
Code Summary:
The script plots horizontal lines at .00, .25, .50, and .75 increments around the current price on the chart. It calculates these levels by taking the integer base of the price and adding the specified increments. The user can customize the color, thickness, and style (solid, dashed, dotted) for each level individually. The script plots a specified number of lines above and below the current price, extending them across the chart to provide clear reference points for potential support and resistance levels.
Key Trading Insight:
Focus on the .00, .25, .50, and .75 levels. A failure to reclaim the .50 level often indicates a lack of momentum, leading to a potential breakdown towards the .00 or .25 levels. These levels serve as psychological or technical support and resistance points where price reactions are likely. Monitoring price action around these levels can provide useful signals for potential trend continuation or reversal.
Thrax - Intraday Market Pressure ZonesTHRAX - INTRADAY MARKET PRESSURE ZONES
This indicator identifies potential support and resistance zones based on areas of significant market pressure. It dynamically plots these zones and adjusts their visibility based on real-time price action and user-defined thresholds. The indicator is useful for traders seeking to understand intraday market pressure, visualize zones of potential price reversals, and analyze volume imbalances at critical levels.
1. Support/Resistance Zones: Wherever the price retraces significantly from its high a support zone is drawn and when it retraces significantly from it low a resistance zone is drawn. The significant retracing is measured by the wick threshold percentage. For instance, if set to 75%, it implies price retracement of 75% either from high or from low for a particular candel
Volume delat: Displays volume delta information where the zones are formed. This can be used by trader to consider only those zones where delta is significant.
2. Breakout Detection: Monitors for price breakouts beyond established zones, deleting zones that are invalidated by price movement. when the price breaks a given zone with the threshold, it is considered to be mitigated and chances of trend continuation is decent.
Candle Coloring: Uses color codes (green, red, and yellow) to represent bullish, bearish, and indecisive (doji) candles, aiding quick visual assessment.
INPUTS
1. Wick Threshold (%) : Sets the minimum wick percentage required for a candle to be considered a support or resistance candidate.
2. Breakout Threshold (%) : Determines the percentage above or below a support or resistance zone that defines a breakout condition. if breaks a zone with the set threshold then the zone will be considered mititgated.
3. Max Number of Support/Resistance Zones : Limits the maximum number of support/resistance zones displayed on the chart, ranging from 1 to 5.
4. Show Wick Percentage Labels : Toggles the display of percentage values for upper and lower wicks on each candle.
TRADE SETUP
Identifying Entry Points: Look for the formation of support or resistance zones. Wait for price to retrace to these zones. if you are willing to take risk, you can consider even zones with low delta. If you want to be more cautious you should consider zones with high delta.
Volume Confirmation: Use the volume information to confirm the strength of the zone. Strong volume differences (displayed as labels) can indicate significant market pressure at these levels.
Breakout Trades: If price breaks through a support/resistance zone by more than the breakout threshold, consider this a signal for a potential trend continuation in the breakout direction.
Risk Management: Set stop-loss levels slightly outside of the identified zones to minimize risk in case of false breakouts. This can be set in input setting for breakout threshold.
Bonus Tip : Mark your significant highs and lows from where prices have retraced multiple times in the near past and if the zone is near these levels it can serve s a strong candidate of support or resistance
Therefore, in conclusion monitor the zones, based on delta and volume presence filter out the zone, wait for price retracement to the zone, intiate the trade with stop loss below zone with a set percentage.

🔶 Key Features
Dynamic Breaker Block Identification: The indicator automatically detects and draws breaker blocks based on swing highs and lows. These blocks represent areas of potential support and resistance.
Volume-Weighted Strength Analysis: Each breaker block is analyzed using volume data to determine its bullish and bearish strength. This is visually represented by the proportion of green (bullish) and red (bearish) coloring within each block.
Market Structure Break (MSB) and Break of Structure (BOS): The indicator identifies and labels Market Structure Breaks (MSB) and Break of Structure (BOS) events, providing context to larger market trends.
Customizable Settings:
- Adjustable swing length for identifying pivot points
- Option to show a specific number of recent breaker blocks
- Choice between wick or close price for violation checks
- Toggle to hide overlapping blocks for cleaner analysis
Violation Detection: Automatically detects when a breaker block has been violated (broken through), either by wick or close price, depending on user settings.
Overlap Control: Provides an option to hide overlapping order blocks, ensuring that the chart remains clean and easy to read when multiple blocks are detected in close proximity.
🔶 Interpreting Indicator
Breaker Blocks:
Breaker blocks are key areas where the price moves through and invalidates a previously identified order block. The indicator detects a breaker block when the price violates an order block by exceeding its high or low (depending on whether it's a bullish or bearish block). This violation is determined by either the wick or the close of a candle, depending on the user's selection in the "Violation Check" setting. When a breaker block is detected, the indicator removes the violated order block from the chart, signaling that the zone is no longer relevant for future price action.
Bullish Breaker Block: This occurs when a bearish order block (red) is violated by the price closing above the block’s top boundary or when the wick surpasses this level. It signals that a prior bearish structure has been invalidated, and the market may shift to a bullish trend.
Bearish Breaker Block: This occurs when a bullish order block (teal) is violated by the price closing below the block’s bottom boundary or when the wick drops below it. It suggests that a previous bullish structure has been broken, indicating potential bearish momentum.
Market Structure Labels:
"MSB" (Market Structure Break) labels indicate a potential change in trend direction.
"BOS" (Break of Structure) labels confirm the continuation of the current trend after breaking a significant level.
Block Strength:
A block with more green indicates stronger bullish interest.
A block with more red indicates stronger bearish interest.
The relative sizes of the green and red portions show the balance of power between buyers and sellers at that level.

Dynamic Resistance and Support LinesThis script is designed to dynamically plot support and resistance lines based on full-dollar and half-dollar price levels relative to the close price on a chart. The script is particularly useful for day traders and scalpers, as it helps visualize key psychological price levels that often act as support and resistance zones in volatile and fast-moving markets in real time.
Key Features:
Dynamic Resistance and Support Levels:
Full-dollar levels: These are calculated by rounding the close price to the nearest full dollar and then extending the levels by adding and subtracting increments of 1 (e.g., $1, $2, $3).
Half-dollar levels: These are calculated by adding and subtracting 0.5 increments to the nearest full-dollar price, providing additional reference points. The historical full-dollar levels remain where support and resistance may have occurred in the past.
Extend Lines:
You can toggle whether the support and resistance lines are extended to the right, left, or both directions. This allows flexibility in projecting potential future areas of support or resistance.
Custom Line Extension:
The user can set the number of bars (or time periods) that the support and resistance lines will extend, giving control over how long the levels remain on the chart.
Color-Coded Lines:
Red lines represent full-dollar resistance and support levels.
Blue lines represent half-dollar levels, making it easy to differentiate between key psychological price zones.
Line Flexibility:
The script allows the lines to extend both left and right on the chart, making it useful for analyzing historical price action or projecting future price movements. The number of bars for extension is customizable, allowing for tailored setups.
Nearest Full Dollar Plot:
The nearest full-dollar price level is plotted as a yellow circle on the chart. This serves as a quick visual cue for traders to monitor price proximity to critical levels.
Benefits in Day Trading, Scalping, and Volatile Markets:
Visualizing Key Psychological Levels:
Full-dollar and half-dollar price levels often act as psychological barriers for traders. This script helps traders easily identify these levels, which are important in both fast-moving markets and during sideways consolidation.
Improved Decision-Making:
By automatically drawing these support and resistance levels, the script helps day traders and scalpers make quicker and more informed decisions, especially in volatile markets where every second counts.
Adaptability to Market Conditions:
The flexibility of extending lines based on trader preferences allows the user to adapt the script to various market conditions, such as high volatility or trend-based trading, providing a clear view of potential breakout or reversal areas.
Better Risk Management:
Having predefined support and resistance levels helps traders better manage risk, as these levels can act as logical areas for setting stop losses or taking profits.
This script is especially valuable for traders looking to capitalize on quick market movements or identify key entry and exit points during market volatility.
