PivotX - Exhaustion & Pivot Detection
## Description
**PivotX** is a powerful visual indicator that helps traders identify when major buying or selling pressure has exhausted and when significant market reversals are likely to occur. Think of it as your market "exhaustion detector" that spots the exact moments when one side of the market runs out of steam.
### What Does PivotX Do?
PivotX watches for three critical market conditions:
1. **Selling Exhaustion** - When sellers have pushed price down aggressively but can't push it lower anymore. This is when buyers step in and price often reverses upward.
2. **Buying Exhaustion** - When buyers have pushed price up aggressively but can't push it higher anymore. This is when sellers step in and price often reverses downward.
3. **Major Pivot Points** - Key price levels where the market has made significant turns, marking important support (bottoms) and resistance (tops).
### How It Works (Simple Explanation)
Imagine a tug-of-war between buyers and sellers:
- When sellers are winning (price dropping), PivotX watches for when they get tired
- When buyers are winning (price rising), PivotX watches for when they get tired
- When one side gets exhausted, the other side usually takes over - that's when reversals happen!
PivotX uses multiple signals to confirm exhaustion:
- Volume patterns (when trading activity slows down after a big move)
- Price stabilization (when price stops moving in one direction)
- Absorption patterns (when high volume doesn't move price much - someone is absorbing the pressure)
- Support/Resistance levels (when price bounces off key levels)
### Visual Signals
**Green X Markers** (Below Price)
- Appears when selling has exhausted
- Buyers are stepping in
- Potential upward reversal signal
**Red X Markers** (Above Price)
- Appears when buying has exhausted
- Sellers are stepping in
- Potential downward reversal signal
**Yellow Diamonds**
- Marks major pivot points (support/resistance)
- Shows where significant price turns occurred
- Helps identify key levels for future trades
**Neon Green/Red Lines**
- Support lines (green) - where price found a bottom
- Resistance lines (red) - where price found a top
- These levels often act as future support/resistance
### Best Use Cases
✅ **Swing Trading** - Catch reversals at major pivot points
✅ **Scalping** - Enter trades when exhaustion is confirmed
✅ **Trend Following** - Identify when trends are losing steam
✅ **Support/Resistance Trading** - Use pivot lines as key levels
✅ **Reversal Trading** - Enter counter-trend trades at exhaustion points
### Settings Explained
**Detection Settings:**
- **Lookback Period** - How many bars to analyze (default: 20)
- **Volume Threshold** - Minimum volume spike to consider (default: 1.5x average)
- **Exhaustion Periods** - Bars to check for exhaustion signals (default: 3)
- **Min Price Move %** - Minimum price movement to trigger analysis (default: 2%)
**Pivot Detection:**
- **Pivot Strength** - Bars on each side for pivot confirmation (default: 3)
- Higher = fewer but stronger pivots
- Lower = more but weaker pivots
**Visual Settings:**
- Toggle exhaustion markers, pivot points, and support/resistance lines
- Customize colors to match your chart theme
### Pro Tips
1. **Wait for Confirmation** - PivotX requires multiple signals before showing exhaustion. This reduces false signals but means you might miss some early entries.
2. **Combine with Price Action** - Use PivotX signals with candlestick patterns for stronger confirmation.
3. **Watch the Pivot Lines** - The support/resistance lines often act as key levels. Price bouncing off these lines can be strong reversal signals.
4. **Volume Matters** - The indicator is more reliable when volume patterns confirm the exhaustion signals.
5. **Timeframe Flexibility** - Works on all timeframes, but signals on higher timeframes (4H, Daily) tend to be more reliable.
### What Makes PivotX Unique?
Unlike simple pivot indicators, PivotX combines:
- Volume exhaustion analysis
- Price action confirmation
- Multi-signal validation
- Clean, non-intrusive visualization
- Automatic support/resistance line drawing
This multi-layered approach helps filter out noise and focus on high-probability reversal setups.
### Important Notes
⚠️ **Not Financial Advice** - This indicator is a tool, not a guarantee. Always use proper risk management.
⚠️ **No Indicator is Perfect** - PivotX helps identify potential reversals, but markets can be unpredictable. Always use stop losses.
⚠️ **Combine with Other Analysis** - For best results, use PivotX alongside other technical analysis tools and your trading strategy.

Pivotlevels
Dynamic Pivot PointDynamic Pivot Points
Description
Concept This script provides a comprehensive support and resistance system by calculating Dynamic Pivot Points based on a user-defined timeframe and lookback period. Unlike static pivot tools that only look at the previous candle, this indicator allows traders to customize the "Pivot Period" (defaulting to 5), offering a more flexible approach to identifying market structure across different resolutions.
How It Works The indicator calculates a central Pivot Point (P) alongside three levels of Support (S1, S2, S3) and three levels of Resistance (R1, R2, R3).
Calculation Logic: The central pivot is derived from the average price (High, Low, and Close) over the selected timeframe and period.
Support & Resistance: These levels are projected above and below the central pivot, calculated based on the volatility (price range) of the selected period.
Multi-Timeframe (DPP) Capability: The script allows you to view higher-timeframe levels (e.g., Weekly or Monthly) while trading on a lower-timeframe chart (e.g., 15-minute or 1-hour), ensuring you are always aware of the macro trend levels.
How to Use Traders can use this tool to identify potential reversal zones, breakout levels, and the general trend bias.
Trend Confirmation:
Bullish Bias: If the price is sustaining above the central Pivot Line (White), the market is generally considered to be in an uptrend.
Bearish Bias: If the price remains below the central Pivot Line, the market is likely in a downtrend.
Reversal Trading:
Support Levels (Green): Look for bullish reversal signals (such as hammer candles or divergence) near S1, S2, or S3. These are potential "Buy" zones.
Resistance Levels (Red): Look for bearish rejection signals near R1, R2, or R3. These are potential "Sell" zones.
Breakout Trading:
A strong volume push above Resistance (R1-R3) may indicate a bullish breakout.
A breakdown below Support (S1-S3) may signal a bearish continuation.
Settings
Pivot Timeframe: Select the specific resolution for the calculation (e.g., Daily, Weekly).
Defined Period: Adjust the lookback length for the calculation (Default: 5).
Visibility: Toggles to show/hide specific levels based on your chart cleanliness preference.
Note: This script does not guarantee future performance. Pivot points are lagging indicators derived from historical price action and should be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis.
Ghost Pivots LiteGhost Pivots Lite
This indicator identifies potential swing points in real time using price-action thresholds and pivot analysis. It highlights momentum shifts that may precede breakouts or breakdowns while keeping the chart clean and overlay-friendly. The white text/circles/lines exhibited in the chart are to display what the Ghost Pivots look like when fully enabled in Settings/Style.
Key Features
Real-time detection of swing highs and lows based on customizable pivot length and swing thresholds.
Visual cues using dashed lines and labels for clear swing identification.
Minimal overlay elements to avoid clutter.
Works across all timeframes.
How It Works
The indicator calculates pivot highs and lows and applies a minimum swing-percentage threshold. When price movement meets or exceeds that threshold, the script plots a dashed line and label at the swing point. This offers a visual reference for momentum changes without issuing trading signals.
Why This Approach
Standard pivot indicators may lag or trigger excessively in volatile conditions. By combining pivots with a percentage-based swing filter, this version emphasizes meaningful momentum shifts and reduces noise.

Pivot Hourly x EMA RibbonHourly Fibonacci Pivot + EMA is an intraday analysis tool that combines hourly Fibonacci-based pivot levels with exponential moving averages (EMAs). It is designed to help traders visualize potential intraday support/resistance zones and short-term trend direction on any timeframe.
The indicator calculates pivot levels from hourly price data and then projects Fibonacci extensions and retracements around a central pivot. These levels can be used to see where price has previously reacted and where future reactions may occur. The EMAs provide an additional layer of context by highlighting the prevailing short-term trend and momentum.
Key features:
Hourly Fibonacci pivot levels (support and resistance zones derived from hourly ranges)
Multiple Fibonacci bands to show potential reaction areas above and below the central pivot
One or more configurable EMAs to show short-term trend direction and dynamic support/resistance
Works on all symbols and intraday timeframes supported by TradingView
Typical use:
Monitor how price behaves when approaching or rejecting Fibonacci pivot levels
Look for confluence between pivot zones and EMA direction or EMA bounces
Use the levels as potential areas of interest for trade planning, stop placement, or partial profit zones within your own trading system
Also have "C" Label it's mean Candle for example C1 is First Candle of the source timeframe, if the source timeframe set to 4 Hour it will be the first 4h candle, the C2 is the second 4h candle of the day.

Reward-Risk Visual Zones (RRZ)Reward–Risk Visual Zones (RRZ) – Structure-Driven Risk Mapping Engine
Most indicators tell you when to trade.
RRZ is designed to answer a different question:
“Is this setup worth the risk before I take the trade?”
RRZ is not a mashup of unrelated indicators.
It is a 3-stage risk engine that builds a complete trade “story” around each swing:
1. Market structure pivot → defines the trade idea
2. ATR volatility unit → defines the risk size
3. Projected reward → compares reward vs that risk and filters bad setups
The output is a visual trade map : entry, target, stop, and R:R, printed directly on chart at each qualified swing.
1. Market Structure Layer – Where trades are anchored
RRZ doesn’t fire signals from MA/RSI crossovers.
It begins with s wing structure :
• Uses ta.pivotlow() and ta.pivothigh() with user-controlled left/right sensitivity:
• Pivot Sensitivity (L) controls how wide a swing must be to qualify as a structural pivot.
• Pivot Confirmation (R) controls how fast/slow a pivot is confirmed (1 = almost real-time, larger values = safer but later).
• A confirmed swing low becomes the candidate anchor for a long R:R zone.
• A confirmed swing high becomes the candidate anchor for a short R:R zone.
Each pivot is stored with its exact price and bar index , so the rest of the logic is always anchored to a real swing instead of a random candle.
2. Volatility Layer – Turning ATR into a “risk unit”
Once a pivot is confirmed, RRZ measures local volatility using ATR:
• ATR length is configurable via ATR Length.
• ATR is not used as a trailing stop or overlay.
In RRZ it plays one specific role:
“One ATR = one unit of structural risk from this swing.”
From that:
Long scenario:
• Entry = pivot low
• Stop = Entry − 1 × ATR
Short scenario:
• Entry = pivot high
• Stop = Entry + 1 × ATR
This standardizes risk across different volatility regimes:
a 2R move in a quiet market and a 2R move in a volatile market are both “2 × ATR” from the structure.
3. Reward Projection Layer – Evaluating if the trade is worth it
RRZ then estimates how far price can realistically travel away from the pivot, given recent behaviour:
For longs (from swing low):
• Projects reward using the highest high in a rolling lookahead window (e.g., last 20 bars).
• Reward = HighestHigh – PivotLow
• Risk = ATR
• R:R = Reward / ATR
For shorts (from swing high):
• Projects reward using the lowest low in the window.
• Reward = PivotHigh – LowestLow
• Risk = ATR
• R:R = Reward / ATR
The user can set a minimum R:R filter via Min R:R Threshold.
• If R:R ≥ threshold → zone is tagged as “ GOOD R:R ” and highlighted in green (long) or red (short).
• If R:R < threshold → optionally still shown as “ LOW R:R ” in orange (so you can visually see “tempting but not worth it” trades).
This transforms a raw pivot + ATR into a quantified decision:
“From this swing, volatility says my stop is 1× ATR. Do I even have 2× ATR of room in my favour?”
4. Execution Map – How components work together on chart
Instead of just printing numbers, RRZ builds a full execution template for every qualifying swing:
• Entry line at the pivot price
• Target line at the reward projection price
• Stop line at pivot ± ATR
• A structured label including:
• LONG / SHORT direction
• “GOOD R:R” or “LOW R:R”
• Numerical R:R (e.g., 2.3 : 1)
• Entry, Target, Stop, current Close
A Cooldown Bars parameter prevents overlapping spam:
• After an R:R zone is created (long or short), the script waits X bars before considering another zone in the same direction.
• This keeps charts readable and focuses attention on the most recent high-quality swings.
RRZ also includes line style controls (solid/dashed/dotted) and separate colours for entry, target, and stop, so traders can quickly read the chart even without opening settings.
5. How to Use RRZ in a Trading Plan
RRZ is not a magic “buy/sell” button.
It is designed to sit on top of your existing strategy as a risk filter.
Typical workflows:
SMC / price-action traders:
• Use your own logic for BOS/CHoCH, order blocks, or liquidity sweeps.
• Use RRZ only where structure aligns and the zone shows GOOD R:R ≥ 2.0.
• Avoid setups where RRZ marks LOW R:R even if the pattern looks good.
System traders / swing traders:
• Use RRZ to standardize risk across assets and timeframes.
• Filter out trades where potential reward does not justify the stop, based on current ATR.
Beginners:
• Learn to stop taking trades where the target is too close and the stop is too wide.
• Visually understand how structural swings and volatility interact.
RRZ works across Forex, Crypto, Indices, and Stocks on intraday and higher timeframes.
Once a pivot is confirmed and a zone is plotted, its lines and labels do not repaint.
⸻
6. Why this invite-only script is more than a basic mashup
RRZ does use classic building blocks (pivots, ATR), but the value is in the way they are stitched into a single risk framework:
• It doesn’t run multiple separate indicators on chart.
Everything is computed inside one engine with a single purpose: structure-based R:R evaluation.
• ATR is not just “slapped on” as a stop line; it is treated as the core risk unit in the R:R calculation pipeline.
• Every zone is a coherent trade idea: from swing, to risk unit, to projected reward, to filtered label, to execution lines.
• The script is designed specifically to help traders do the one thing that almost no free indicator prioritizes:
“Say NO to low R:R trades automatically.”
This is what distinguishes RRZ from generic ATR-stop scripts or simple pivot overlays.

Important
• No performance promises.
• No marketing claims (“guaranteed”, “high win rate”, etc.).
• Purely a risk mapping & visualization tool.

Futures Day Trading Key Levels by Dhawal Ranka
Hey everyone, thank you for using this script, let me know in the comments how you feel about it!
What this script does:
This indicator renders one consolidated map of intraday reference levels for futures (e.g., ES, NQ, GC, CL). It is session-aware and draws:
- Previous ETH day High/Low/Close
- Previous RTH High/Low/Close (built from your RTH session)
- Today’s developing RTH High/Low and Mid
- Overnight (ON) session High/Low
- Opening Range (first N minutes of RTH): OR High/Low
- VWAP (day-anchored) with optional ±σ bands
- Floor Pivots (PP/R1/S1/R2/S2) from prior ETH daily bar
- ADR projections (Up/Down) using a configurable lookback and anchor
- Settlement: prior official settlement and today’s projected settle (with manual override)
- Weekly/Monthly context: prior W/M High/Low/Close and current W/M Open
- Minimal right-edge text tags (instead of big boxes) that sit on the price scale line and auto-pack when levels coincide
All lines extend across the chart to make confluence obvious without clutter.
How it works (methods & calculations)
Sessions
The script exposes two user sessions and a time zone:
RTH (e.g., 09:30–16:00 America/New_York)
ON (e.g., 18:00–09:29 America/New_York)
Session membership is computed with time(timeframe, session, tz) != 0.
RTH H/L/C (prev) are aggregated intrabar: on RTH start we seed H/L; while inRTH we update; on RTH end we store the close.
Previous Day (ETH) levels
request.security(syminfo.tickerid, "D", high /low /close ) supplies PDH/PDL/PDC on the continuous ETH daily.
Opening Range
On RTH start we mark orStartTime.
While RTH is active and elapsed time < N minutes, we track the running high/low.
When elapsed ≥ N minutes, we freeze OR High/Low.
VWAP & ±σ bands (intraday)
Day-anchored VWAP uses ta.vwap(hlc3).
Bands: standard deviation of (close − vwap) from day start, accumulated inline:
stdev = sqrt( mean(dev^2) − mean(dev)^2 )
Bands = vwap ± k * stdev (user multiplier).
Floor Pivots (classic)
Using prior ETH daily H/L/C:
PP = (H + L + C) / 3
R1 = 2*PP − L, S1 = 2*PP − H
R2 = PP + (H − L), S2 = PP − (H − L).
ADR projections
Daily range series rng = request.security(..., "D", high - low).
ADR = SMA(rng, L) (default L=14).
Anchor is user-selectable: today’s open or yesterday’s close.
Projections: ADR Up = anchor + ADR/2, ADR Down = anchor − ADR/2.
Settlement
Prev Settle defaults to prior ETH daily close but can be overridden manually for markets where official settlement differs from feed close.
Today Projected Settle uses the current ETH daily close value.
Weekly / Monthly context
Prior W/M H/L/C from "W"/"M" with , plus current W/M Open.
Rendering & label logic (originality)
Lines are persistent: each named level owns one line object that is updated, not re-created—keeps resource use low and avoids “too many plots”.
Right-edge labels are text-only (no box) placed at x = bar_index + offset and yloc.price.
When multiple levels share (almost) the same price, labels are packed side-by-side using a small bucketing algorithm:
Prices are bucketed within ±½ tick.
Each label gets a position index inside its bucket; the final x-offset = baseOffset + index*step + priority.
Priorities nudge important tags (e.g., Settle/RTH levels) closer to the price scale so they remain readable.
Why this is published & what’s original
It’s not a simple mashup: the script’s utility is the session-aware aggregation, the OR timing logic, the intraday σ calculation around VWAP, the line-persistence manager, and the label packing with priorities that keeps the right edge readable even when many levels coincide.
The closed-source protection covers the packing/priority scheme and the persistent object management that make it practical on busy futures charts without hitting Pine limits.
How to use
Set your sessions & time zone
Choose RTH/ON session windows (the defaults match CME equity index futures) and the time zone of your charting workflow.
Toggle components
Enable only the layers you need (e.g., VWAP bands off if you want a cleaner chart).
Opening Range length (minutes) is adjustable.
Settlement
If your broker/feed’s daily close isn’t the official settlement, enter a manual settle value for the prior day.
Read the right edge
Labels sit on the price scale line. When two labels share the same price, they appear side-by-side rather than overlapping.
Timeframes & symbols
Designed for intraday futures on 1–30m. Works on other symbols/timeframes but intent is day trading.
Inputs (summary)
Sessions/TZ: RTH window, ON window, time zone
Today: RTH H/L/Mid, ON H/L, OR (minutes)
VWAP: on/off, ±σ bands, multiplier
Pivots: PP/R1/S1/R2/S2 (ETH)
ADR: lookback, anchor (open vs. prev close)
Settlement: show prev/proj, manual override
Weekly/Monthly: prior H/L/C + current open
Style: line transparency; right-edge tag size, base offset, and step; optional inline labels
Limitations & notes
“Prev Settle” equals the prior daily close unless overridden.
Session definitions matter: if your exchange hours differ, set your own RTH/ON windows.
No alerts are included to minimize plot count and keep performance high (you can add alert conditions on any level in a private copy).

Pivot Trend Flow [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
Pivot Trend Flow turns raw swing points into a clean, adaptive trend band. It averages recent pivot highs and lows to form two dynamic reference levels; when price crosses above the averaged highs, trend flips bullish and a green band is drawn; when it crosses below the averaged lows, trend flips bearish and a red band is drawn. During an uptrend the script highlights breakouts of previous pivot highs with ▲ labels, and during a downtrend it flags breakdowns of previous pivot lows with ▼ labels—making structure shifts and continuation signals obvious.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Pivot-Based Averages : Recent pivot highs/lows are collected and averaged to create smoothed upper/lower reference levels.
if not na(ph)
phArray.push(ph)
if not na(pl)
plArray.push(pl)
if phArray.size() > avgWindow
upper := phArray.avg()
phArray.shift()
if plArray.size() > avgWindow
lower := plArray.avg()
plArray.shift()
Trend State via Crosses : Close above the averaged-highs ⇒ bullish trend; close below the averaged-lows ⇒ bearish trend.
Trend Band : A colored band (green/red) is plotted and optionally filled to visualize the active regime around price.
Structure Triggers :
In bull mode the tool watches for prior pivot-high breakouts (▲).
In bear mode it watches for prior pivot-low breakdowns (▼).
🔵 FEATURES
Adaptive Trend Detection from averaged pivot highs/lows.
Clear Visuals : Green band in uptrends, red band in downtrends; optional fill for quick read.
Breakout/Breakdown Labels :
▲ marks breaks of previous pivot highs in uptrends
▼ marks breaks of previous pivot lows in downtrends
Minimal Clutter : Uses compact lines and labels that extend only on confirmation.
Customizable Colors & Fill for trend states and band styling.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Pivot Length : Sets how swing points are detected. Smaller = more reactive; larger = smoother.
Avg Window (pivots) : How many recent pivot highs/lows are averaged. Increase to stabilize the band; decrease for agility.
Read the Band :
Green band active ⇒ prioritize longs, pullback buys toward the band.
Red band active ⇒ prioritize shorts, pullback sells toward the band.
Trade the Triggers :
In bull mode, ▲ on a prior pivot-high break can confirm continuation.
In bear mode, ▼ on a prior pivot-low break can confirm continuation.
Combine with Context : Use HTF trend, S/R, or volume for confluence and to filter signals.
Fill Color Toggle : Enable/disable band fill to match your chart style.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Pivot Trend Flow converts swing structure into an actionable, low-lag trend framework. By blending averaged pivots with clean breakout/breakdown labels, it clarifies trend direction, timing, and continuation spots—ideal as a core bias tool or a confirmation layer in any trading system.
LA - Opening Price based Previous day Range PivotThis "LA - Opening Price based Previous day Range Pivot" indicator is a custom technical analysis tool designed for Trading View charts. It plots support and resistance levels (often referred to as pivots or ranges) based on the current opening price combined with the previous period's trading range. The "previous period" can be daily, weekly, or monthly, making it a multi-timeframe tool. These levels are projected using Fibonacci-inspired multipliers to create potential breakout or reversal zones.
The core idea is inspired by concepts like the Opening Range Breakout (ORB) strategy or Fibonacci pivots, but it's customized here to use a dynamic range calculation (the maximum of several absolute price differences) rather than a simple high-low range. This makes it more robust for volatile markets. Levels are symmetric above (resistance) and below (support) the opening price, helping traders identify potential entry/exit points, stop-losses, or targets. This will be useful when there is a gap-up/down as in Nifty/Sensex .
Purpose of the Indicator:
To visualize potential support/resistance zones for the current trading session based on the opening price and historical range data. This helps traders anticipate price movements, such as breakouts above resistance or bounces off support
Use Cases:
Intraday Trading: On lower timeframes (e.g., 5-min or 15-min charts), it shows daily levels for short-term trades.
Swing Trading: On higher timeframes (e.g., hourly or daily), it displays weekly/monthly levels for longer holds.
Range Identification: The filled bands highlight "zones" where price might consolidate or reverse.
Conditional Display: Levels only appear on appropriate timeframes (e.g., daily levels on intraday charts <60min), preventing clutter.
Theoretical Basis: It builds on pivot point theory, where the opening price acts as a central pivot. Multipliers (e.g., 0.618 for Fibonacci golden ratio) project levels, assuming price often respects these ratios due to market psychology.
How Calculations Work
Let's dive into the math with examples. Assume a stock with:
Current daily open (cdo) = $100
Previous daily high (pdh) = $105, low (pdl) = $95, close (pdc) = $102, close 2 days ago (pdc2) = $98
Step 1: Dynamic Range Calculation (var_d2):
This is the max of:
|pdh - pdc2| = |105 - 98| = 7
|pdl - pdc2| = |95 - 98| = 3
|pdh - pdl| = |105 - 95| = 10 (previous day range)
|pdh - cdo| = |105 - 100| = 5
|pdl - cdo| = |95 - 100| = 5
|pdc - cdo| = |102 - 100| = 2
|pdc2 - cdo| = |98 - 100| = 2
Max = 10 (so range = 10). This ensures the range accounts for gaps and extended moves, not just high-low.
Step 2: Level Projections:
Resistance (above open): Open + (Range * Multiplier)
dre6 = 100 + (10 * 1.5) = 115
dre5 = 100 + (10 * 1.27) ≈ 112.7
... down to dre0 = 100 + (10 * 0.1) = 101
dre50 = 100 + (10 * 0.5) = 105 (midpoint)
Support (below open): Open - (Range * Multiplier)
dsu0 = 100 - (10 * 0.1) = 99
... up to dsu6 = 100 - (10 * 1.5) = 85

Pros and Cons
Pros:
Multi-Timeframe Flexibility: Seamlessly integrates daily, weekly, and monthly levels, useful for aligning short-term trades with longer trends (e.g., intraday breakout confirmed by weekly support).
Dynamic Range Calculation: Unlike standard pivots (just (H+L+C)/3), it uses max of multiple diffs, capturing gaps/volatility better—great for stocks with overnight moves.
Customizable via Inputs: Users can toggle levels, adjust multipliers, or change timeframes without editing code. Inline inputs keep the UI clean.
Visual Aids: Filled bands make zones obvious; conditional colors highlight "tight" vs. "wide" ranges (e.g., for volatility assessment).
Fibonacci Integration: Levels based on proven ratios, appealing to technical traders. Symmetric supports/resistances simplify strategy building (e.g., buy at support, sell at resistance).
No Repainting: Uses historical data with lookahead, so levels are fixed once calculated—reliable for back-testing.
Cons:
Chart Clutter: With all toggles on, 50+ plots/fills can overwhelm the chart, especially on mobile or small screens. Requires manual disabling.
Complexity for Beginners: Many inputs and calculations; without understanding fib ratios or range logic, it might confuse new users.
Performance Overhead: On low timeframes (e.g., 1-min), fetching higher TF data multiple times could lag, especially with many symbols or back-tests.
Assumes Volatility Persistence: Relies on previous range projecting future moves; in low-vol markets (e.g., sideways trends), levels may be irrelevant or too wide/narrow.
No Alerts or Signals: Purely visual; no built-in buy/sell alerts or crossover conditions—users must add separately.
Hardcoded Styles/Colors: Limited customization without code edits (e.g., can't change line styles via inputs).
Also, not optimized for non-stock assets (e.g., forex with 24/7 trading).
In summary, this is a versatile pivot tool for range-based trading based on Opening price, excelling in volatile markets but requiring some setup. If you're using it, start with defaults on a daily chart and toggle off unnecessary levels.

Dynamic S/R Zones Pro [By TraderMan]Dynamic S/R Zones Pro
Short pitch:
Dynamic S/R Zones Pro automatically maps support and resistance levels using pivot highs/lows and draws surrounding zones. It displays lines, labels and a table — making it fast to spot relevant price areas on your chart. 📊✨
🔎 What does this indicator do?
Detects pivot highs/lows and converts them into dynamic S/R levels.
Draws a zone around each level (upper & lower bands) so you can see the interaction area. 🟢🔴
Counts how often each level was tested and writes that “strength” in the table — so you can prioritize levels.
Fully configurable colors, line styles, zone width and table display. 🎛️
Note: Pivot-based S/R is a widely used, objective way to map price levels — see pivot basics.
Investopedia
⚙️ How it works (technical)
Uses pivotRange = 10 to search for highs/lows inside that window.
Looks back analysisPeriod (284 in your script) and selects meaningful pivots; filters by strengthSR threshold.
channelPercent and zonePercent define band thickness (zone), with zoneWidthPercent applied over the last 300 bars.
Strength = number of times price tested that band; used for filtering and the table.
High/Low Zones option draws wide reference bands around the period’s highest/lowest pivots.
(Pivot logic here is pivot-based SR mapping — not classical static pivot formulas, but the same principle of marking widely watched price levels.)
Investopedia
🛠️ How to use (step-by-step)
Enable SR: toggle S/R drawing on/off.
Strength (strengthSR): increase to show only well-tested levels, decrease to show more levels.
Line Style / Width: readability and aesthetics.
Show Zones / Zone Width %: enable zones and set width (e.g. 2% of recent range).
Show High/Low Zones: draw wide reference zones for the highest/lowest pivots.
Extend SR: extend lines across the chart (past/future) for clarity.
Show Table: display levels, zone boundaries and strength in the top-right table. 📋
🎯 Trade entry ideas (examples)
Not financial advice — examples of how traders commonly use S/R zones.
1) Bounce Long (support zone buy)
Condition: Price arrives at a support zone and shows a bullish confirmation candle (e.g., hammer, bullish engulfing).
Extra confirmation: oversold RSI or supportive volume.
Entry: on confirmed candle close (market or limit).
SL: slightly below the zone’s lower band.
TP: next resistance or target R:R ≥ 1:2. (Retest confirmations reduce false-breakout risk.)
fxopen.com
Investopedia
2) Breakout Long
Condition: Price breaks resistance with increased volume.
Tactic: wait for a retest of the broken resistance (now support). Enter on confirmation.
SL: below the retest low or zone lower band.
TP: next zone / predetermined R:R target. Breakouts need volume/retest confirmation to avoid fakeouts.
Investopedia
fxopen.com
3) Scalp
Use narrower zones, smaller TF, very tight SL and smaller R:R (e.g., 1:1), account for spreads/fees.
🛡️ Risk management
Don’t risk too much per trade — follow a fixed % (e.g., 1–2% max).
cmegroup.com
Plan SL & TP before entry; avoid emotional adjustments.
Investopedia
Calculate risk/reward; aim for a favorable R:R and backtest your rules.
CenterPoint Securities
✔️ Practical tips
Filter by strength to remove noisy levels.
Timeframe matters: higher TF = stronger levels.
Combine with other indicators (volume, RSI, MAs) for better confirmation.
Backtest the script and your entry rules before deploying live.
Quick summary: Dynamic S/R Zones Pro is a pivot-based S/R & zone mapper that highlights strong levels and helps you trade bounces, breakouts and retests — but always use SL/TP and solid risk management.

Smart MTF S/R Levels[BullByte]
Smart MTF S/R Levels
Introduction & Motivation
Support and Resistance (S/R) levels are the backbone of technical analysis. However, most traders face two major challenges:
Manual S/R Marking: Drawing S/R levels by hand is time-consuming, subjective, and often inconsistent.
Multi-Timeframe Blind Spots: Key S/R levels from higher or lower timeframes are often missed, leading to surprise reversals or missed opportunities.
Smart MTF S/R Levels was created to solve these problems. It is a fully automated, multi-timeframe, multi-method S/R detection and visualization tool, designed to give traders a complete, objective, and actionable view of the market’s most important price zones.
What Makes This Indicator Unique?
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Simultaneously analyzes up to three user-selected timeframes, ensuring you never miss a critical S/R level from any timeframe.
Multi-Method Confluence: Integrates several respected S/R detection methods—Swings, Pivots, Fibonacci, Order Blocks, and Volume Profile—into a single, unified system.
Zone Clustering: Automatically merges nearby levels into “zones” to reduce clutter and highlight areas of true market consensus.
Confluence Scoring: Each zone is scored by the number of methods and timeframes in agreement, helping you instantly spot the most significant S/R areas.
Reaction Counting: Tracks how many times price has recently interacted with each zone, providing a real-world measure of its importance.
Customizable Dashboard: A real-time, on-chart table summarizes all key S/R zones, their origins, confluence, and proximity to price.
Smart Alerts: Get notified when price approaches high-confluence zones, so you never miss a critical trading opportunity.
Why Should a Trader Use This?
Objectivity: Removes subjectivity from S/R analysis by using algorithmic detection and clustering.
Efficiency: Saves hours of manual charting and reduces analysis fatigue.
Comprehensiveness: Ensures you are always aware of the most relevant S/R zones, regardless of your trading timeframe.
Actionability: The dashboard and alerts make it easy to act on the most important levels, improving trade timing and risk management.
Adaptability: Works for all asset classes (stocks, forex, crypto, futures) and all trading styles (scalping, swing, position).
The Gap This Indicator Fills
Most S/R indicators focus on a single method or timeframe, leading to incomplete analysis. Manual S/R marking is error-prone and inconsistent. This indicator fills the gap by:
Automating S/R detection across multiple timeframes and methods
Objectively scoring and ranking zones by confluence and reaction
Presenting all this information in a clear, actionable dashboard
How Does It Work? (Technical Logic)
1. Level Detection
For each selected timeframe, the script detects S/R levels using:
SW (Swing High/Low): Recent price pivots where reversals occurred.
Pivot: Classic floor trader pivots (P, S1, R1).
Fib (Fibonacci): Key retracement levels (0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.786) over the last 50 bars.
Bull OB / Bear OB: Institutional price zones based on bullish/bearish engulfing patterns.
VWAP / POC: Volume Weighted Average Price and Point of Control over the last 50 bars.
2. Level Clustering
Levels within a user-defined % distance are merged into a single “zone.”
Each zone records which methods and timeframes contributed to it.
3. Confluence & Reaction Scoring
Confluence: The number of unique methods/timeframes in agreement for a zone.
Reactions: The number of times price has touched or reversed at the zone in the recent past (user-defined lookback).
4. Filtering & Sorting
Only zones within a user-defined % of the current price are shown (to focus on actionable areas).
Zones can be sorted by confluence, reaction count, or proximity to price.
5. Visualization
Zones: Shaded boxes on the chart (green for support, red for resistance, blue for mixed).
Lines: Mark the exact level of each zone.
Labels: Show level, methods by timeframe (e.g., 15m (3 SW), 30m (1 VWAP)), and (if applicable) Fibonacci ratios.
Dashboard Table: Lists all nearby zones with full details.
6. Alerts
Optional alerts trigger when price approaches a zone with confluence above a user-set threshold.
Inputs & Customization (Explained for All Users)
Show Timeframe 1/2/3: Enable/disable analysis for each timeframe (e.g., 15m, 30m, 1h).
Show Swings/Pivots/Fibonacci/Order Blocks/Volume Profile: Select which S/R methods to include.
Show levels within X% of price: Only display zones near the current price (default: 3%).
How many swing highs/lows to show: Number of recent swings to include (default: 3).
Cluster levels within X%: Merge levels close together into a single zone (default: 0.25%).
Show Top N Zones: Limit the number of zones displayed (default: 8).
Bars to check for reactions: How far back to count price reactions (default: 100).
Sort Zones By: Choose how to rank zones in the dashboard (Confluence, Reactions, Distance).
Alert if Confluence >=: Set the minimum confluence score for alerts (default: 3).
Zone Box Width/Line Length/Label Offset: Control the appearance of zones and labels.
Dashboard Size/Location: Customize the dashboard table.
How to Read the Output
Shaded Boxes: Represent S/R zones. The color indicates type (green = support, red = resistance, blue = mixed).
Lines: Mark the precise level of each zone.
Labels: Show the level, methods by timeframe (e.g., 15m (3 SW), 30m (1 VWAP)), and (if applicable) Fibonacci ratios.
Dashboard Table: Columns include:
Level: Price of the zone
Methods (by TF): Which S/R methods and how many, per timeframe (see abbreviation key below)
Type: Support, Resistance, or Mixed
Confl.: Confluence score (higher = more significant)
React.: Number of recent price reactions
Dist %: Distance from current price (in %)
Abbreviations Used
SW = Swing High/Low (recent price pivots where reversals occurred)
Fib = Fibonacci Level (key retracement levels such as 0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.786)
VWAP = Volume Weighted Average Price (price level weighted by volume)
POC = Point of Control (price level with the highest traded volume)
Bull OB = Bullish Order Block (institutional support zone from bullish price action)
Bear OB = Bearish Order Block (institutional resistance zone from bearish price action)
Pivot = Pivot Point (classic floor trader pivots: P, S1, R1)
These abbreviations appear in the dashboard and chart labels for clarity.
Example: How to Read the Dashboard and Labels (from the chart above)
Suppose you are trading BTCUSDT on a 15-minute chart. The dashboard at the top right shows several S/R zones, each with a breakdown of which timeframes and methods contributed to their detection:
Resistance zone at 119257.11:
The dashboard shows:
5m (1 SW), 15m (2 SW), 1h (3 SW)
This means the level 119257.11 was identified as a resistance zone by one swing high (SW) on the 5-minute timeframe, two swing highs on the 15-minute timeframe, and three swing highs on the 1-hour timeframe. The confluence score is 6 (total number of method/timeframe hits), and there has been 1 recent price reaction at this level. This suggests 119257.11 is a strong resistance zone, confirmed by multiple swing highs across all selected timeframes.
Mixed zone at 118767.97:
The dashboard shows:
5m (2 SW), 15m (2 SW)
This means the level 118767.97 was identified by two swing points on both the 5-minute and 15-minute timeframes. The confluence score is 4, and there have been 19 recent price reactions at this level, indicating it is a highly reactive zone.
Support zone at 117411.35:
The dashboard shows:
5m (2 SW), 1h (2 SW)
This means the level 117411.35 was identified as a support zone by two swing lows on the 5-minute timeframe and two swing lows on the 1-hour timeframe. The confluence score is 4, and there have been 2 recent price reactions at this level.
Mixed zone at 118291.45:
The dashboard shows:
15m (1 SW, 1 VWAP), 5m (1 VWAP), 1h (1 VWAP)
This means the level 118291.45 was identified by a swing and VWAP on the 15-minute timeframe, and by VWAP on both the 5-minute and 1-hour timeframes. The confluence score is 4, and there have been 12 recent price reactions at this level.
Support zone at 117103.10:
The dashboard shows:
15m (1 SW), 1h (1 SW)
This means the level 117103.10 was identified by a single swing low on both the 15-minute and 1-hour timeframes. The confluence score is 2, and there have been no recent price reactions at this level.
Resistance zone at 117899.33:
The dashboard shows:
5m (1 SW)
This means the level 117899.33 was identified by a single swing high on the 5-minute timeframe. The confluence score is 1, and there have been no recent price reactions at this level.
How to use this:
Zones with higher confluence (more methods and timeframes in agreement) and more recent reactions are generally more significant. For example, the resistance at 119257.11 is much stronger than the resistance at 117899.33, and the mixed zone at 118767.97 has shown the most recent price reactions, making it a key area to watch for potential reversals or breakouts.
Tip:
“SW” stands for Swing High/Low, and “VWAP” stands for Volume Weighted Average Price.
The format 15m (2 SW) means two swing points were detected on the 15-minute timeframe.

Multi Pivot Point & Central Pivot Range - Nadeem Al-QahwiThis indicator combines four advanced trading modules into one flexible and easy-to-use script:
Traditional Pivot Points:
Calculates classic support and resistance levels (PP, R1–R5, S1–S5) based on previous session data. Ideal for identifying key turning points and mapping out the daily, weekly, or monthly structure.
Camarilla Levels:
Provides six upper and lower pivot levels (H1–H6, L1–L6) derived from volatility and closing price formulas. Especially effective for intraday reversal, mean reversion, and finding overbought/oversold extremes.
Central Pivot Range (CPR):
Plots the median, top, and bottom of the value area each session. CPR width instantly highlights whether the market is likely to trend (narrow CPR) or remain range-bound (wide CPR).
Developing CPR projects the evolving range for the current period—essential for real-time analysis and pre-market planning.
Dynamic Zone Levels (DZL):
Automatically detects and highlights clusters of pivots to reveal high-probability support/resistance zones, filtering out market “noise.”
DZL alerts notify you whenever price breaks or retests these key areas, making it easier to spot momentum trades and avoid false signals.
Key Features:
Multi-timeframe flexibility: Use with daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or custom timeframes—even rare ones like biyearly and decennial.
Modular design: Activate or hide any system (Traditional, Camarilla, CPR, DZL) as you need.
Bilingual interface: Every setting and label is shown in both English and Arabic.
Full customization: Control visibility, color, style, and placement for every level and label.
Historical depth: Plot up to 5,000 pivot/zones back for deep analysis and backtesting.
Smart alerts: Get instant notifications on true S/R breakouts or retests (from DZL).
How to Use:
Trend Trading:
Watch for a very narrow CPR to identify potential trending days—trade in the breakout direction above/below the CPR.
Range Trading:
When CPR is wide, expect sideways movement. Fade reversals at R1/S1 or within the CPR boundaries.
Breakouts:
Use DZL alerts to capture momentum as price breaks or retests dynamic support/resistance zones.
Multi-Timeframe Confluence:
Combine CPR and pivot levels from multiple timeframes for higher-probability entries and exits.
All calculations and logic are fully open.
Chart Patterns [ActiveQuants]The Chart Patterns indicator is a comprehensive tool designed to automatically identify a variety of common chart patterns directly on your price chart. By detecting sequences of pivot highs and lows , this indicator helps traders spot potential trend continuations , reversals , and key market structures such as Double Tops and Double Bottoms . Enhance your technical analysis by quickly recognizing these formations as they emerge.
How It Works
The indicator operates in a two-stage process:
Pivot Point Detection: It first identifies significant swing highs and swing lows (pivot points) based on a user-defined Period . These pivots form the fundamental building blocks for pattern recognition.
Pattern Recognition: Using the sequence of these detected pivot points, the script then applies logical rules to identify the following patterns:
Lower Low (LL)
Lower Low & Lower High (LL & LH)
Higher High (HH)
Higher High & Higher Low (HH & HL)
Double Tops
Double Bottoms
Patterns are drawn on the chart with connecting lines and labeled for easy identification. Double Tops and Double Bottoms also feature a status system: " Active " while forming, " Confirmed " upon neckline breakout, or " Invalid " if specific conditions negate the pattern before confirmation.
█ KEY FEATURES
Comprehensive Pattern Detection: Identifies six distinct types of chart patterns, offering insights into both trend continuation and potential reversals.
Pivot-Based Analysis: Uses a robust method of identifying pivot highs and lows as the foundation for pattern formation.
Pattern Status for Double Tops/Bottoms:
- Active: A Double Top or Double Bottom pattern has formed its two peaks/troughs and the intervening neckline point, but the price has not yet broken beyond the neckline. The pattern is developing .
- Confirmed: The price has decisively closed beyond the neckline (below for Double Top, above for Double Bottom), signaling a potential entry or validation of the pattern.
- Invalid: An " Active " Double Top or Double Bottom pattern can be invalidated if, before a neckline breakout occurs, a new pivot point forms that negates the pattern’s structural integrity. For example, if a new pivot low forms above or at the neckline of an Active Double Top, the pattern is considered invalid because the market failed to break down and instead showed relative strength.
Customizable Visuals: Allows users to define colors for bullish and bearish patterns, line widths, and the visibility of pivot points.
Selective Pattern Display: Users can choose to display all patterns or filter by status (Active, Confirmed, Invalid) for Double Tops/Bottoms. Individual pattern types can also be toggled on or off.
Historical Analysis Control: The Show Last History (Bars) input allows users to specify how far back the indicator should plot patterns, optimizing performance and chart readability.
Clear Labeling: Patterns are clearly labeled on the chart, with Double Tops/Bottoms also showing " Top 1 ," " Top 2 ," or " Bottom 1 ," " Bottom 2 " labels.
█ PATTERNS DETECTED
Lower Low (LL): Indicates a potential bearish continuation or the start of a downtrend. Forms when price makes a lower low during an uptrend.
Lower Low & Lower High (LL & LH): A stronger confirmation of a bearish trend, where the market forms a lower low followed by a lower high .
Higher High (HH): Signals a potential bullish continuation or the start of an uptrend. Forms when price makes a higher high during a downtrend.
Higher High & Higher Low (HH & HL): A stronger confirmation of a bullish trend, where the market forms a higher high followed by a higher low .
Double Top: A bearish reversal pattern characterized by two distinct peaks at roughly the same price level, separated by a trough (neckline). Confirmation occurs when price breaks below the neckline.
Double Bottom: A bullish reversal pattern featuring two distinct troughs at roughly the same price level, separated by a peak (neckline). Confirmation occurs when price breaks above the neckline.
█ EXAMPLE: DOUBLE TOP INVALIDATION
Understanding how a Double Top or Double Bottom can be invalidated is crucial. Here's an example for a Double Top:
Formation: The indicator identifies two peaks (Top 1, Top 2) at a similar price level, with a corrective trough (Neckline Pivot P5) in between. The pattern is labeled " Double Top " and is in an " Active " state. ( Imagine points P4 and P6 are the two tops, and P5 is the low point of the neckline between them ).
Pre-Breakout Condition: The price action continues, but before it breaks decisively below the P5 neckline level, a new significant swing low (a new pivot low) forms.
Invalidation Check: The indicator checks the price level of this new pivot low. If this new pivot low occurs at a price equal to or higher than the P5 neckline level, the " Active " Double Top pattern is re-labeled as " Invalid Double Top ". ( See image below for a visual representation of this scenario )
In this example, the Double Top formed with Top 1 (P4) and Top 2 (P6). The neckline is at P5. Before price broke below P5, a new pivot low formed at the red circle. Since this new pivot low is above the P5 neckline, the Double Top is marked " Invalid ".
The logic is that the market failed to break the neckline support and instead established a higher low (or a low at the support level), suggesting that the immediate bearish pressure has waned, thus invalidating the bearish reversal implication of the Double Top before it could confirm. A similar logic applies to Double Bottoms (a new pivot high forming below or at the neckline before an upside breakout).

█ CONCLUSION
The Chart Patterns indicator is a versatile and powerful assistant for traders who utilize classical chart pattern analysis. By automating the detection of key formations and providing clear visual cues along with status updates for patterns like Double Tops and Bottoms, it allows traders to focus on strategy development and execution. With its customizable settings, it can be adapted to various instruments and timeframes, making it a valuable addition to any technical trader's toolkit.
█ IMPORTANT NOTES
⚠ Pivot Period Sensitivity: The Period setting for pivot detection is crucial. A shorter period will identify more frequent, smaller swings, while a longer period will focus on more significant turning points. Adjust this setting based on the asset's volatility, the timeframe you are trading and your trading style.
⚠ Confirmation is Key: While the indicator identifies patterns, always wait for pattern confirmation (e.g., neckline breaks for Double Tops/Bottoms) and consider other factors like volume and market context before making trading decisions.
⚠ Confirmed Bars for Detection: Patterns are identified based on confirmed pivot points, which means a pivot is recognized period bars after it has formed. Status updates for Double Tops/Bottoms (Active, Confirmed, Invalid) also occur on confirmed bars. This approach enhances reliability and reduces the likelihood of repainting based on intra-bar price fluctuations.
⚠ Not a Standalone System: Chart patterns provide valuable insights, but they should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools (e.g., trendlines, moving averages, oscillators) and a sound risk management plan.
⚠ Lagging Nature: By their very definition, chart patterns are lagging indicators as they require a sequence of price action and several pivot points to complete their formation.

Volume Cluster Support & ResistanceVolume Cluster Support & Resistance
This indicator identifies potential Support and Resistance (S/R) levels on the chart using Volume-Based Point of Control (POC) Clustering. It offers extensive customization for calculation parameters, display styles, and visualization options, including S/R zones, color gradients, and historical reaction markers.
How It Works
Volume Based S/R:
Scans the specified Clustering Lookback period for "High Volume Bars", defined as bars where volume exceeds the average volume (over Volume Lookback Period) multiplied by the High Volume Threshold Multiplier.
Calculates the Point of Control (POC) for each high-volume bar using hl2.
Clusters these high-volume bar POCs: POCs within a proximity defined by Cluster Proximity (ATR) (Average True Range multiplier) are grouped together.
Filters these clusters, requiring a Min Bars in Cluster to form a valid S/R zone.
(Image showing the indicator being used on the Bitcoin 5min chart)
The center price of valid clusters determines the S/R level. Clusters above the current price become potential Resistance, and those below become potential Support.
Calculates the offset based on the most recent bar included in the cluster.
Level Selection & Display:
The indicator identifies multiple potential S/R levels.
It then selects and displays the top Number of S/R Levels to Display support levels below the current price and resistance levels above the current price.
(Image showing the indicator on the GBP/USD 5min chart)
ATR Usage:
The Average True Range (ta.atr(14)) is used in two key areas:
Determining the proximity threshold for grouping POCs in the 'Volume Based' clustering (clusterProximityAtr).
Calculating the width of the S/R zones when 'Use Zone Visualization' is enabled (zoneAtrMultiplier).
Key Features & Components
Dual Calculation Methods: Choose between Pivot-based S/R or Volume-based POC clustering.
Volume Confirmation: Pivots require volume confirmation; Volume method directly analyzes high-volume bars.
POC Clustering: Groups high-volume areas to identify significant price zones.
Configurable Lookbacks: Adjust periods for volume averaging, pivot detection, and clustering analysis.
Dynamic S/R Display: Shows a configurable number of the most relevant S/R levels relative to the current price.
Optional Zone Visualization: Display levels as filled zones with configurable width (ATR-based), fill transparency, and border transparency. Includes a dashed center line.
Optional Historical Reactions: Mark past price interactions (lows bouncing off support zones, highs rejecting from resistance zones) directly on the chart (Warning: Can significantly impact performance).
Customizable Styling: Control line style (Solid, Dashed, Dotted), width, color (separate for Support & Resistance), and horizontal extension (None, Left, Right, Both).
Price Labels: Toggle visibility of price labels next to each S/R level/zone.
Visual Elements Explained
S/R Lines/Zones: Plotted lines or filled zones representing calculated support and resistance levels. Color-coded for Support (default green) and Resistance (default magenta).
Line/Zone Borders: Appearance controlled by Style settings (Style, Width, Extension). Can have a gradient color effect based on age if enabled.
Zone Fills: Semi-transparent fills for zones (if enabled), with configurable transparency. Fill color matches the border color (including gradient effect if enabled).
Zone Center Line: A thin, dashed line indicating the exact calculated S/R price within a zone.
Price Labels: Text labels showing the exact price of the S/R level.
Historical Reactions: Small dot markers appearing on historical bars where price potentially reacted to a displayed zone (only if Show Historical Reactions is enabled).
Configuration Options
Users can adjust the following parameters in the indicator settings:
Calculation Method: Select "Pivot Based" or "Volume Based".
Volume Zone Settings (Volume Based): Threshold multiplier, clustering lookback, cluster proximity (ATR), minimum bars per cluster.
Display Options: Toggle S/R visibility, price tags, set the number of levels to show.
Volume Settings: Volume lookback period, volume multiplier (for Pivot confirmation).
Style Settings: Line style, width, extension, support/resistance text and line colors, enable gradient coloring, set gradient start/end colors.
Zone Visualization: Enable/disable zones, set zone width (ATR multiplier), fill and border transparency, enable/disable historical reaction markers (performance warning).
Interpretation Notes
This indicator identifies potential areas of support and resistance based on historical price action and volume analysis. These levels are not guaranteed reversal points.
The 'Volume Based' method focuses on areas where significant trading activity occurred, while the 'Pivot Based' method focuses on price turning points confirmed by volume.
Use the displayed levels in conjunction with other technical analysis tools, price action patterns, and risk management strategies.
Be mindful of the performance impact when enabling Show Historical Reactions, especially on longer timeframes or with large lookback periods. The default setting is false for optimal performance.
The max_bars_back setting is optimized for performance; increasing it significantly may slow down chart loading.

Adaptive Support & Resistance Levels [StabTrading]The Adaptive S&R Levels indicator is designed to study support and resistance levels by synthesizing multiple well-known techniques for identifying these zones. It aims to provide traders with reliable price levels that reflect the collective perspective of market participants, using historical price action and projective techniques for extreme conditions.
💡 Introduction: Identified Problem
Traders often draw support and resistance lines using varied methods, leading to inconsistencies in where these levels are placed on charts. This variability can reduce the effectiveness of individual levels, as price may not react strongly to zones that lack broad recognition. The Adaptive S&R Levels indicator addresses this by aggressively averaging multiple established techniques to create support and resistance lines that align with what most traders are likely to identify, increasing the probability of price reactions.
🚀 How it Works: Overview
The indicator employs a multi-technique algorithm to generate support and resistance levels, ensuring they represent a consensus of trader perspectives.
🚀 How it Works: Chart Levels Display and Styling
Support levels, displayed in green below the current price, and resistance levels, shown in red above the price, are plotted clearly on the chart. Levels are numbered sequentially (e.g., v1, v2) as they move further from the current price, providing a visual hierarchy of proximity. Extreme levels, labeled as "Extreme Support" or "Extreme Resistance," are plotted in a bolder color to distinguish them as the outermost boundaries, maintaining the same green (support) and red (resistance) color scheme for consistency.
🚀 How it Works: Historical Price Action Algorithm
For areas with available historical data, the algorithm analyzes price action using a variety of recognized methods for drawing support and resistance, such as pivot points, swing highs/lows, and volume-based zones. It calculates a weighted average of these techniques to produce a “regression fit” line that reflects the accumulation of levels traders might draw. By prioritizing areas where multiple methods converge, the indicator identifies zones likely to be significant to a wide audience, enhancing their relevance.
🚀 How it Works: Projective Techniques Algorithm
In scenarios without recent historical price action—such as all-time highs or lows—the indicator employs an alternative algorithm that combines projective techniques commonly used by traders. These include Fibonacci extensions, Measured Moves (price projections), Psychological Milestones (e.g., round numbers), Channel/Trendline Extrapolation, and Time-Based Targets (inspired by methods like Gann techniques). The algorithm seeks a confluence of these methods to draw support and resistance levels that align with what most traders would consider significant in such conditions. These levels maintain the same green (support) and red (resistance) color scheme, with numbering based on their distance from the price.
🚀 How it Works: Noise Parameter Adjustment
Users can adjust a noise parameter to control the number of displayed levels. Lower settings show more lines, reflecting a broader range of potential zones but with less confluence. Higher settings increase the required confluence of techniques, resulting in fewer lines that have a higher probability of eliciting a price reaction. This customization allows traders to tailor the indicator to their preferred timeframe or trading style.
🔥 Features
Confluence-Based Levels: Support and resistance lines are derived from a weighted average of multiple techniques, aiming to mirror the levels most traders would recognize.
Extreme Levels: Generates support and resistance in areas without historical price action, using techniques like Fibonacci extensions and Measured Moves.
Color-Coded Display: Green support levels appear below the current price, and red resistance levels appear above, with extreme levels in a bolder shade for distinction.
Adjustable Noise Parameter: Users can modify the confluence threshold to display more lines (lower settings) or fewer, higher-probability lines (higher settings).
📈 Implementing the System
1. Adjust Settings
Set the noise parameter based on your trading style (0.1 to 10).
Use lower values for more frequent levels, suitable for scalping or short-term analysis.
Use higher values for fewer, higher-confluence levels, ideal for swing trading or longer-term strategies.
Adjust for your timeframe: Settings tend to be lower on shorter timeframes and higher on longer timeframes.
2. Identify Levels
Monitor green support levels below the price for potential buying zones, noting their numbered proximity (v1, v2, etc.).
Observe red resistance levels above the price for potential selling or shorting zones, noting their numbered proximity.
Note extreme levels (labeled "Extreme Support" or "Extreme Resistance") in areas like all-time highs, which may act as key reversal points.
3. Evaluate Price Reactions
Track how price interacts with the plotted levels to assess their effectiveness, considering their proximity to price.
Observe performance in bullish, bearish, or ranging markets to understand the indicator’s behavior at different levels.
Test different noise parameter settings across various assets and timeframes to find the optimal balance for your approach.
4. Layering Trades with Levels
Use the numbered levels to layer into a trade: for example, enter a partial position at a closer support level (e.g., v1) and add to it at a further level (e.g., v2) if price continues to decline, spreading risk across multiple zones.
Layer out of a trade by taking partial profits at each resistance level as price rises (e.g., reduce position at v1, then v2), or fully exit at an "Extreme Resistance" level to maximize gains while managing exposure.
🔶 Conclusion
The Adaptive S&R Levels indicator provides a framework for studying support and resistance by averaging multiple trader-recognized techniques. With its ability to handle both historical and extreme price scenarios, numbered levels for visual hierarchy, and customizable noise settings, it offers a versatile tool for analyzing key price levels. Designed for educational use, it encourages traders to test and observe how these consensus-driven levels align with market behavior within broader analysis.
Volume NodesVolume Nodes Indicator:
What This Indicator Does:
The Volume Nodes indicator identifies and visualizes statistically significant volume events on your chart, helping you identify important price levels where substantial trading activity has occurred. Unlike standard volume indicators, Volume Nodes:
Uses statistical analysis (z-scores) to identify truly abnormal volume bars
Calculates accurate buy/sell volume ratios by analyzing all lower timeframe data
Identifies the Volume Point of Control (VPOC) for high volume areas
Visualizes significant volume ranges as they extend across the chart
Tracks when price interacts with these important levels
Key Features:
High Volume Detection: Highlights bars with unusually high volume (z-score above threshold)
Low Volume Detection: Highlights bars with unusually low volume (z-score below threshold)
VPOC Lines: Horizontal lines showing the exact price level with maximum volume concentration
Volume Range Fills: Shaded areas showing the entire price range with significant volume
Accurate Volume Metrics: Shows true buy/sell volume ratios or delta percentages derived from lower timeframe data
How to Use It in Your Trading: **Move to front in the visual order on chart**
Step 1: Identify Important Volume Zones
High Volume Bars (green/red candles) indicate where significant buying or selling has occurred
VPOC Lines extending from these bars show you the exact price level with highest volume
Range Fills show you the entire zone where significant volume occurred
Step 2: Use These Levels for Trading Decisions
Support/Resistance: VPOC lines often act as support or resistance levels
Breakout Validation: Breakouts on high volume are more likely to be valid
Low Volume Warning: Low volume bars (yellow) often indicate indecision or potential reversals
Trading with Volume Flow: Use the buy/sell ratio or delta % to confirm the strength and direction of moves
Step 3: Monitor Price Interaction with Volume Zones
When price approaches a VPOC line, watch for reaction (bounce or breakout)
When price enters a volume range area, increased volatility often follows
When price crosses a VPOC line, the line changes transparency indicating it's been tested
Tips for Optimal Use
Higher Timeframes: The indicator works exceptionally well on higher timeframes (4H, daily, weekly) where volume patterns are more significant
Range Trading: Use volume nodes to identify the boundaries of trading ranges
Combine with Price Action: Look for price action confirmation (rejections, engulfing patterns) at VPOC levels
Multiple Timeframe Analysis: Compare volume nodes across different timeframes to find confluent levels
Alert Setup: Set up alerts for when price enters important volume zones or crosses VPOC lines
Reversal Signals: High volume bars with significant wicks often signal exhaustion points where smart money is transferring positions. Bullish candles with long upper wicks suggest sellers absorbing buying pressure at highs, while bearish candles with long lower wicks indicate buyers stepping in at lows - both potentially signaling momentum shifts that precede reversals.
The indicator is particularly valuable for identifying levels where large players have been active in the market and are likely to defend or act again in the future.
