The Retest Support Resistance Signals Indicator is a powerful tool designed to assist traders in identifying key support and resistance levels within the market. Most importantly and uniquely it identifies retests of these structures and displays them on the trader's chart. By utilizing a combination of pivot points and price action analysis, this indicator offers valuable insights for both signal-based and support/resistance trading strategies.
Key Features & settings:
Retest Confirmation: The indicator waits for a break above a support or resistance level and observes subsequent price action. If price retraces and forms a wick below the level, followed by a bounce, the indicator identifies it as a retest and labels it as "R" to indicate potential support or resistance confirmation.
This indicator combines the benefits of signal-based trading and support/resistance analysis, providing users with a versatile trading tool suitable for various strategies.
Retest Weaker Toggle: Users have the option to enable or disable the retest weaker feature. When enabled, the indicator considers a support or resistance level weaker if it experiences a test. When disabled, the indicator assumes that a bounce may occur from the level.
Pivot Detection Customization: Users can adjust the pivot detection method based on either wicks or bodies. This flexibility allows traders to adapt the indicator to different market conditions and preferences. The trader can also customize the number of bars used for pivot detection on both the left and right sides. This feature enables traders to fine-tune the indicator's sensitivity and responsiveness.
Users also have control over how support or resistance levels are managed on the chart. They can choose to either stop updating the levels (freeze) or completely remove them (delete) from the chart.
Breakout Threshold Setting: Traders can adjust the breakout threshold until deletion setting. This setting determines the number of successful breakouts through a support or resistance level required to remove it from the chart. This feature helps filter out weaker levels and focus on more significant ones.

This indicator can be a useful addition to an SR trader's toolkit. Identifying when a level in the market is retested can reveal interesting information about the underlying strength of a trend. This indicator has been designed with the two major schools of thought; a level gets weaker the more it's tested vs stronger the more it's tested. We have designed this therefore to be versatile and adapt to both thought procceses. The R labels should be taken and considered as a larger part of an analysis process and not followed blindly.
