Advanced Support and Resistance Levels[MAP]Advanced Support and Resistance Levels Indicator
Author
Developed by:
Overview
The "Advanced Support and Resistance Levels" indicator, created, is a sophisticated tool designed for TradingView's Pine Script v6 platform. It identifies and plots key support and resistance levels on a price chart, enhancing technical analysis by incorporating pivot strength, volume weighting, and level decay. The indicator overlays lines, zones, and labels on the chart, providing a visual representation of significant price levels where the market has historically reversed or consolidated.
Purpose
This indicator, authored by , aims to:
Detect significant pivot points (highs and lows) with customizable strength requirements.
Track and rank support/resistance levels based on their recency, volume, and number of touches.
Display these levels as lines and optional zones, with strength-based visual cues (e.g., line thickness and opacity).
Offer flexibility through user-configurable settings to adapt to different trading styles and market conditions.
Features
Pivot Detection:
Identifies high and low pivots using a strength parameter, requiring a specified number of bars on either side where no higher highs or lower lows occur.
Incorporates closing price checks and SMA-based trend confirmation to filter out noise and ensure pivots align with the broader market direction.
Level Management:
Maintains a dynamic array of levels with attributes: price, type (support/resistance), bars since last touch, strength, and volume.
Merges nearby levels within a tolerance percentage, updating prices with a strength-weighted average.
Prunes weaker or older levels when exceeding the maximum allowed, prioritizing those with higher calculated strength.
Strength Calculation:
Combines the number of touches (strength), volume (if enabled), and age decay (if enabled) into a single metric.
Volume weighting uses a logarithmic scale to emphasize high-volume pivots without over-amplifying extreme values.
Age decay reduces the importance of older levels over time, ensuring relevance to current price action.
Visualization:
Draws horizontal lines at each level, with thickness reflecting the number of touches (up to a user-defined maximum).
Optional price zones around levels, sized as a percentage of the price, to indicate areas of influence.
Labels display the level type (S for support, R for resistance), price, and strength score, with position (left or right) customizable.
Line opacity varies with strength, providing a visual hierarchy of level significance.
Plots small triangles at detected pivot points for reference.
Inputs
Lookback Period (lookback, default: 20): Number of bars to consider for trend confirmation via SMA. Range: 5–100.
Pivot Strength (strength, default: 2): Number of bars required on each side of a pivot to confirm it. Range: 1–10.
Price Tolerance % (tolerance, default: 0.5): Percentage range for merging similar levels. Range: 0.1–5.
Max Levels to Show (maxLevels, default: 10): Maximum number of levels displayed. Range: 2–50.
Zone Size % (zoneSizePercent, default: 0.1): Size of the S/R zone as a percentage of the price. Range: 0–1.
Line Width (lineWidth, default: 1): Maximum thickness of level lines. Range: 1–5.
Show Labels (showLabels, default: true): Toggle visibility of level labels.
Label Position (labelPos, default: "Right"): Position of labels ("Left" or "Right").
Level Strength Decay (levelDecay, default: true): Enable gradual reduction in strength for older levels.
Volume Weighting (volumeWeight, default: true): Incorporate volume into level strength calculations.
Support Color (supportColor, default: green): Color for support levels.
Resistance Color (resistColor, default: red): Color for resistance levels.
How It Works
Pivot Detection:
Checks for pivots only after enough bars (2 * strength) have passed.
A high pivot requires strength bars before and after with no higher highs or closes, and a short-term SMA above a long-term SMA.
A low pivot requires strength bars before and after with no lower lows or closes, and a short-term SMA below a long-term SMA.
Level Tracking:
New pivots create levels with initial strength and volume.
Existing levels within tolerance are updated: strength increases, volume takes the maximum value, and price adjusts via a weighted average.
Levels older than lookback * 4 bars with strength below 0.5 are removed.
If the number of levels exceeds maxLevels, the weakest (by calculated strength) are pruned using a selection sort algorithm.
Drawing:
Updates on the last confirmed bar or in real-time.
Lines extend lookback bars left and right from the current bar, with thickness based on touches.
Zones (if enabled) are drawn symmetrically around the level price.
Labels show detailed info, with opacity tied to strength.
Usage
Add to Chart: Apply the indicator to any TradingView chart via the Pine Script editor, as designed by .
Adjust Settings: Customize inputs to match your trading strategy (e.g., increase strength for stronger pivots, adjust tolerance for tighter level merging).
Interpret Levels: Focus on thicker, less transparent lines for stronger levels; use zones to identify potential reversal areas.
Combine with Other Tools: Pair with trend indicators or oscillators for confluence in trading decisions.
Notes
Performance: The indicator uses arrays and sorting, which may slow down on very long charts with many levels. Keep maxLevels reasonable for efficiency.
Accuracy: Enhanced by trend confirmation and volume weighting, making it more reliable than basic S/R indicators, thanks to 's design.
Limitations: Real-time updates may shift levels as new pivots form; historical levels are more stable.
Example Settings
For day trading: lookback=10, strength=1, tolerance=0.3, maxLevels=5.
For swing trading: lookback=50, strength=3, tolerance=0.7, maxLevels=10.

Consecutive Close Tracker (CCT)Consecutive Close Tracker (CCT) Indicator
The Consecutive Close Tracker (CCT) is a powerful momentum and breakout detection tool designed to identify consecutive bullish and bearish closes, potential reversals, and breakout points. By tracking consecutive candle closes and plotting key levels, this indicator provides traders with visual cues to recognize trend continuations, reversals, and breakout opportunities effectively.
🔹 Key Features of CCT
1️⃣ Consecutive Move Lines (Green/Red/Yellow Lines)
Tracks three consecutive bullish or bearish closes.
If the fourth candle confirms the trend, a green line (bullish) or red line (bearish) is drawn.
If the fourth candle fails to confirm, a yellow line is drawn, signaling potential indecision.
Helps traders spot trend continuations and exhaustion points.
2️⃣ Reversal Detection Lines (Cyan & Light Red)
Identifies bullish and bearish reversals based on three higher/lower closes followed by a reversal.
A cyan line indicates a bullish reversal, while a light red line signals a bearish reversal.
Useful for traders looking for trend reversals and key turning points.
3️⃣ Breakout Line (Dynamic Resistance/Support Level)
Automatically calculates a breakout level based on the previous timeframe’s open and close.
Can be customized to use different timeframes (e.g., hourly, daily, weekly).
Acts as a dynamic resistance or support level, helping traders determine breakout opportunities.
🔍 How to Use the Indicator?
✅ 1. Spotting Trend Continuations with Consecutive Move Lines
Green Line: Three consecutive bullish closes followed by a fourth higher close.
🚀 Indicates strong buying pressure & potential uptrend continuation.
Red Line: Three consecutive bearish closes followed by a fourth lower close.
📉 Indicates strong selling pressure & potential downtrend continuation.
Yellow Line: Three consecutive closes, but the fourth candle fails to confirm.
⚠️ Signals possible indecision or trend exhaustion.
🔥 Best Strategy:
If a green line appears near support, consider long entries.
If a red line appears near resistance, consider short entries.
If a yellow line appears, wait for further confirmation before entering a trade.
✅ 2. Identifying Trend Reversals with Reversal Lines
Cyan Line: A bearish trend with three consecutive lower closes, followed by a bullish candle → Possible uptrend reversal.
Light Red Line: A bullish trend with three consecutive higher closes, followed by a bearish candle → Possible downtrend reversal.
🔥 Best Strategy:
If a cyan line appears near a major support level, look for long entry opportunities.
If a light red line appears near resistance, prepare for a potential short entry.
Use these lines in combination with candlestick patterns (e.g., bullish engulfing, pin bars) for confirmation.
✅ 3. Using the Breakout Line for Key Entry & Exit Points
The breakout line represents a key dynamic level (midpoint of the previous timeframe’s open & close).
If price breaks above the breakout line, it suggests bullish momentum → Consider long trades.
If price breaks below the breakout line, it suggests bearish momentum → Consider short trades.
🔥 Best Strategy:
Use the breakout line in combination with support & resistance levels.
When price approaches the breakout line, watch for confirmation candles before entering a trade.
The breakout line can also act as a stop-loss or take-profit level.
🎯 How to Utilize CCT Effectively?
✅ For Intraday Traders
Use the consecutive close tracker on a 5M or 15M chart to catch short-term trends.
Watch for reversal lines near major intraday support/resistance for quick scalping opportunities.
Use the breakout line from the hourly chart to identify potential trend shifts.

Fixed Range LevelsThis indicator draws horizontal price levels on your chart based on a starting price and a range size that you define. It can also draw midpoint lines between the main levels if enabled.
Here's a breakdown of its functionality:
Key Features:
Starting Price:
You define a starting price (e.g., 21630).
The indicator calculates a corrected base price by rounding the starting price to the nearest multiple of the range size.
Range Size:
You define a range size (e.g., 71).
The indicator draws horizontal lines at intervals of the range size above and below the corrected base price.
Dual Ranges:
You can define two range sizes (e.g., 71 and 29).
The indicator can draw levels for both ranges simultaneously or individually, depending on your settings.
Midpoint Lines:
If enabled, the indicator draws midpoint lines between the main levels.
For example, if the main levels are at 21584 and 21655, the midpoint line will be at 21619.5.
Customizable Styles:
You can customize the line style (solid, dotted, dashed) and color for both the main levels and midpoint lines.
Dynamic Levels:
The levels are recalculated and redrawn dynamically based on the starting price and range size.
How It Works:
Corrected Base Price Calculation:
The indicator calculates the corrected base price using the formula:
pinescript
Copy
correctedBasePrice = math.floor(startingPrice / rangeSize) * rangeSize
For example, if startingPrice = 21630 and rangeSize = 71:
Copy
correctedBasePrice = math.floor(21630 / 71) * 71 = 304 * 71 = 21584
Drawing Levels:
The indicator draws horizontal lines at intervals of the range size above and below the corrected base price.
For example, if rangeSize = 71 and maxLevels = 5, the levels will be drawn at:
Copy
21584 - (5 * 71) = 21249
21584 - (4 * 71) = 21320
...
21584 + (5 * 71) = 21939
Midpoint Lines:
If enabled, the indicator draws midpoint lines between the main levels.
For example, if the main levels are at 21584 and 21655, the midpoint line will be at:
Copy
(21584 + 21655) / 2 = 21619.5
Dual Ranges:
If you enable both ranges, the indicator will draw levels for both range sizes simultaneously.
For example, if rangeSize1 = 71 and rangeSize2 = 29, the indicator will draw two sets of levels:
Levels at intervals of 71 (e.g., 21584, 21655, 21726, ...).
Levels at intervals of 29 (e.g., 21634, 21663, 21692, ...).
Example Use Case:
Imagine you're trading a stock or cryptocurrency, and you want to identify key support and resistance levels based on a specific price range. Here's how you can use this indicator:
Set the Starting Price:
For example, if the current price is 21630, you can set this as the starting price.
Define the Range Size:
If you believe the price moves in increments of 71, set rangeSize1 = 71.
If you also want to track smaller increments of 29, set rangeSize2 = 29.
Enable Midpoint Lines:
If you want to see the midpoint between the main levels, enable Show Midpoint Line.
Customize Line Styles:
Choose different colors and styles for the main levels and midpoint lines to make them visually distinct.
Analyze the Chart:
The indicator will draw horizontal lines at the specified intervals, helping you identify potential support, resistance, and midpoint levels.
Why Is This Useful?
Support and Resistance Levels:
The horizontal lines act as dynamic support and resistance levels based on the range size you define.
Price Targets:
You can use the levels to identify potential price targets or areas where the price might reverse.
Midpoint Analysis:
The midpoint lines can help you identify areas of consolidation or potential breakout points.
Flexibility:
You can customize the range sizes, colors, and styles to suit your trading strategy.
Summary:
This indicator is a powerful tool for traders who want to visualize price levels and midpoints based on a specific range size. It helps you identify key levels for support, resistance, and potential price targets, making it easier to plan your trades.

RSI & DPO support/resistanceThis indicator combines the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to identify overbought and oversold conditions with the Detrended Price Oscillator (DPO) to highlight support and resistance levels.
Unlike traditional indicators that display these metrics in a separate window, this tool integrates them directly onto the main price chart.
This allows for a more cohesive analysis, enabling traders to easily visualize the relationship between price movements and momentum indicators in one unified view.
How to Use It:
Identify Overbought and Oversold Conditions:
Look for RSI values above 70 to identify overbought conditions, suggesting a potential price reversal or pullback. Conversely, RSI values below 30 indicate oversold conditions, which may signal a potential price bounce or upward movement.
Analyze Support and Resistance Levels:
Observe the DPO lines on the main chart to identify key support and resistance levels. When the price approaches these levels, it can provide insights into potential price reversals or breakouts.
Combine Signals for Trading Decisions:
Use the RSI and DPO signals together to make informed trading decisions. For example, if the RSI indicates an overbought condition while the price is near a resistance level identified by the DPO, it may be a good opportunity to consider selling or taking profits.
Monitor Divergences:
Watch for divergences between the RSI and price movements. If the price is making new highs while the RSI is not, it could indicate weakening momentum and a potential reversal.
Set Alerts:
Consider setting alerts for when the RSI crosses above or below the overbought or oversold thresholds, or when the price approaches significant support or resistance levels indicated by the DPO.
Practice Risk Management:
Always use proper risk management techniques, such as setting stop-loss orders and position sizing, to protect your capital while trading based on these indicators.
By following these steps, traders can effectively utilize this indicator to enhance their market analysis and improve their trading strategies.
Ichimoku MTF (best MTF 4H - Entry 15M)The Ichimoku Cloud is a collection of technical indicators that show support and resistance levels, as well as momentum and trend direction. It does this by taking multiple averages and plotting them on a chart. It also uses these figures to compute a “cloud” that attempts to forecast where the price may find support or resistance in the future.
The technical indicator shows relevant information at a glance by using averages.
The overall trend is up when the price is above the cloud, down when the price is below the cloud, and trendless or transitioning when the price is in the cloud.
Charles G. Koonitz. “Ichimoku Analysis & Strategies: The Visual Guide to Spot the Trends in Stock Market, Cryptocurrency and Forex Using Technical Analysis and Cloud Charts," Tripod Solutions Inc., 2019.
When Leading Span A is rising and above Leading Span B, this helps to confirm the uptrend and the space between the lines is typically colored green. When Leading Span A is falling and below Leading Span B, this helps confirm the downtrend. The space between the lines is typically colored red in this case.1
Traders will often use the Ichimoku Cloud as an area of support and resistance depending on the relative location of the price. The cloud provides support/resistance levels that can be projected into the future. This sets the Ichimoku Cloud apart from many other technical indicators that only provide support and resistance levels for the current date and time.
Traders should use the Ichimoku Cloud in conjunction with other technical indicators to maximize their risk-adjusted returns. For example, the indicator is often paired with the relative strength index (RSI), which can be used to confirm momentum in a certain direction. It’s also important to look at the bigger trends to see how the smaller trends fit within them. For example, during a very strong downtrend, the price may push into the cloud or slightly above it, temporarily, before falling again. Only focusing on the indicator would mean missing the bigger picture that the price was under strong longer-term selling pressure.
Crossovers are another way that the indicator can be used. Watch for the conversion line to move above the base line, especially when the price is above the cloud. This can be a powerful buy signal. One option is to hold the trade until the conversion line drops back below the base line. Any of the other lines could be used as exit points as well.
Trend Filter (2-pole) [BigBeluga]Trend Filter (2-pole)
The Trend Filter (2-pole) is an advanced trend-following indicator based on a two-pole filter, which smooths out market noise while effectively highlighting trends and their strength. It incorporates color gradients and support/resistance dots to enhance trend visualization and decision-making for traders.
SP500:
🔵What is a Two-Pole Filter?
A two-pole filter is a digital signal processing technique widely used in electronics, control systems, and time series data analysis to smooth data and reduce noise.
//@function Two-pole filter
//@param src (series float) Source data (e.g., price)
//@param length (float) Length of the filter (higher value means smoother output)
//@param damping (float) Damping factor for the filter
//@returns (series float) Filtered value
method two_pole_filter(float src, int length, float damping) =>
// Calculate filter coefficients
float omega = 2.0 * math.pi / length
float alpha = damping * omega
float beta = math.pow(omega, 2)
// Initialize the filter variables
var float f1 = na
var float f2 = na
// Update the filter
f1 := nz(f1 ) + alpha * (src - nz(f1 ))
f2 := nz(f2 ) + beta * (f1 - nz(f2 ))
f2
It operates using two cascaded smoothing stages (poles), allowing for a more refined and responsive output compared to simple moving averages or other basic filters.
Two-pole filters are particularly valued for their ability to maintain smooth transitions while reducing lag, making them ideal for applications where precision and responsiveness are critical.
In trading, this filter helps detect trends by smoothing price data while preserving significant directional changes.
🔵Key Features of the Indicator:
Gradient-Colored Trend Filter Line: The main filter line dynamically changes color based on trend strength and direction:
- Green: Strong uptrend.
- Red: Strong downtrend.
- Yellow: Indicates a transition phase, signaling potential trend shifts.
Support and Resistance Dots with Signals:
- Dots are plotted below the filter line during uptrends and above it during downtrends.
- These dots represent consecutive rising or falling conditions of the filter line, which traders can set in the settings (e.g., the number of consecutive rises or falls required).
- The dots often act as dynamic support or resistance levels, providing valuable guidance during trends.
- Trend Signals:
Customizable Sensitivity: The indicator allows traders to adjust the filter length, damping factor, and the threshold for rising/falling conditions, enabling it to adapt to different trading styles and timeframes.
Bar Color Option: The indicator can optionally color bars to match the gradient of the filter line, enhancing visual clarity of trends directly on the price chart.
🔵How It Works:
The Trend Filter (2-pole) smooths price data using a two-pole filter, which reduces noise and highlights the underlying trend.
The gradient coloring of the filter line helps traders visually assess the strength and direction of trends.
Rising and falling conditions of the filter line are tracked, and dots are plotted when consecutive conditions meet the threshold, acting as potential support or resistance levels during trends.
The yellow transition color signals periods of indecision, helping traders anticipate potential reversals or consolidations.
🔵Use Cases:
Identify and follow strong uptrends and downtrends with gradient-based visual cues.
Use the yellow transition color to anticipate trend shifts or consolidation zones.
Leverage the plotted dots as dynamic support and resistance levels to refine entry and exit strategies.
Combine with other indicators for confirmation of trends and reversals.
This indicator is perfect for traders who want a visually intuitive and highly customizable tool to spot trends, gauge their strength, and make informed trading decisions.

where \(i\) ranges from 0 to \(\text{Strata Count} - 1\).
2. **Forecast Iterations:**
- **Structure:** The indicator projects five forecast iterations into the future, each spaced by a Fibonacci sequence of bars: 2, 3, 5, 8, and 13 bars ahead. This spacing is inspired by the Fibonacci sequence, which is prevalent in financial market analysis for identifying key levels.
- **Purpose:** Each iteration represents a distinct forecast point where the price may interact with the strata, allowing for a multi-step projection of potential price levels.
3. **Touch Counting:**
- **Definition:** A "touch" occurs when the closing price of a bar is within half the increment of a stratum level.
- **Process:** For each stratum and each forecast iteration, the indicator counts the number of touches within a specified lookback window (e.g., 80 bars), offset by the forecasted position. This ensures that each iteration's touch count is independent and contextually relevant to its forecast horizon.
- **Adjustment:** Each forecast iteration analyzes a unique segment of the lookback window, offset by its forecasted position to ensure independent probability calculations.
4. **Poisson Probability Calculation:**
- **Formula:**
\
\
- **Interpretation:** \(p(k=1)\) represents the probability of exactly one touch occurring within the lookback window for each stratum and iteration.
- **Application:** This probability is used to determine the transparency of each stratum line, where higher probabilities result in more opaque (less transparent) lines, indicating stronger historical significance.
5. **Transparency Mapping:**
- **Calculation:**
\
- **Purpose:** Maps the Poisson probability to a visual transparency level, enhancing the readability of significant strata levels.
- **Outcome:** Strata with higher probabilities (more historical touches) appear more opaque, while those with lower probabilities appear fainter.

Linear Regression Channel [TradingFinder] Existing Trend Line🔵 Introduction
The Linear Regression Channel indicator is one of the technical analysis tool, widely used to identify support, resistance, and analyze upward and downward trends.
The Linear Regression Channel comprises five main components : the midline, representing the linear regression line, and the support and resistance lines, which are calculated based on the distance from the midline using either standard deviation or ATR.
This indicator leverages linear regression to forecast price changes based on historical data and encapsulates price movements within a price channel.
The upper and lower lines of the channel, which define resistance and support levels, assist traders in pinpointing entry and exit points, ultimately aiding better trading decisions.
When prices approach these channel lines, the likelihood of interaction with support or resistance levels increases, and breaking through these lines may signal a price reversal or continuation.
Due to its precision in identifying price trends, analyzing trend reversals, and determining key price levels, the Linear Regression Channel indicator is widely regarded as a reliable tool across financial markets such as Forex, stocks, and cryptocurrencies.
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Identifying Entry Signals
One of the primary uses of this indicator is recognizing buy signals. The lower channel line acts as a support level, and when the price nears this line, the likelihood of an upward reversal increases.
In an uptrend : When the price approaches the lower channel line and signs of upward reversal (e.g., reversal candlesticks or high trading volume) are observed, it is considered a buy signal.
In a downtrend : If the price breaks the lower channel line and subsequently re-enters the channel, it may signal a trend change, offering a buying opportunity.
🟣 Identifying Exit Signals
The Linear Regression Channel is also used to identify sell signals. The upper channel line generally acts as a resistance level, and when the price approaches this line, the likelihood of a price decrease increases.
In an uptrend : Approaching the upper channel line and observing weakness in the uptrend (e.g., declining volume or reversal patterns) indicates a sell signal.
In a downtrend : When the price reaches the upper channel line and reverses downward, this is considered a signal to exit trades.
🟣 Analyzing Channel Breakouts
The Linear Regression Channel allows traders to identify price breakouts as strong signals of potential trend changes.
Breaking the upper channel line : Indicates buyer strength and the likelihood of a continued uptrend, often accompanied by increased trading volume.
Breaking the lower channel line : Suggests seller dominance and the possibility of a continued downtrend, providing a strong sell signal.
🟣 Mean Reversion Analysis
A key concept in using the Linear Regression Channel is the tendency for prices to revert to the midline of the channel, which acts as a dynamic moving average, reflecting the price's equilibrium over time.
In uptrends : Significant deviations from the midline increase the likelihood of a price retracement toward the midline.
In downtrends : When prices deviate considerably from the midline, a return toward the midline can be used to identify potential reversal points.
🔵 Settings
🟣 Time Frame
The time frame setting enables users to view higher time frame data on a lower time frame chart. This feature is especially useful for traders employing multi-time frame analysis.
🟣 Regression Type
Standard : Utilizes classical linear regression to draw the midline and channel lines.
Advanced : Produces similar results to the standard method but may provide slightly different alignment on the chart.
🟣 Scaling Type
Standard Deviation : Suitable for markets with stable volatility.
ATR (Average True Range) : Ideal for markets with higher volatility.
🟣 Scaling Coefficients
Larger coefficients create broader channels for broader trend analysis.
Smaller coefficients produce tighter channels for precision analysis.
🟣 Channel Extension
None : No extension.
Left: Extends lines to the left to analyze historical trends.
Right : Extends lines to the right for future predictions.
Both : Extends lines in both directions.
🔵 Conclusion
The Linear Regression Channel indicator is a versatile and powerful tool in technical analysis, providing traders with support, resistance, and midline insights to better understand price behavior. Its advanced settings, including time frame selection, regression type, scaling options, and customizable coefficients, allow for tailored and precise analysis.
One of its standout advantages is its ability to support multi-time frame analysis, enabling traders to view higher time frame data within a lower time frame context. The option to use scaling methods like ATR or standard deviation further enhances its adaptability to markets with varying volatility.
Designed to identify entry and exit signals, analyze mean reversion, and assess channel breakouts, this indicator is suitable for a wide range of markets, including Forex, stocks, and cryptocurrencies. By incorporating this tool into your trading strategy, you can make more informed decisions and improve the accuracy of your market predictions.

Holt-Winters Forecast BandsDescription:
The Holt-Winters Adaptive Bands indicator combines seasonal trend forecasting with adaptive volatility bands. It uses the Holt-Winters triple exponential smoothing model to project future price trends, while Nadaraya-Watson smoothed bands highlight dynamic support and resistance zones.
This indicator is ideal for traders seeking to predict future price movements and visualize potential market turning points. By focusing on broader seasonal and trend data, it provides insight into both short- and long-term market directions. It’s particularly effective for swing trading and medium-to-long-term trend analysis on timeframes like daily and 4-hour charts, although it can be adjusted for other timeframes.
Key Features:
Holt-Winters Forecast Line: The core of this indicator is the Holt-Winters model, which uses three components — level, trend, and seasonality — to project future prices. This model is widely used for time-series forecasting, and in this script, it provides a dynamic forecast line that predicts where price might move based on historical patterns.
Adaptive Volatility Bands: The shaded areas around the forecast line are based on Nadaraya-Watson smoothing of historical price data. These bands provide a visual representation of potential support and resistance levels, adapting to recent volatility in the market. The bands' fill colors (red for upper and green for lower) allow traders to identify potential reversal zones without cluttering the chart.
Dynamic Confidence Levels: The indicator adapts its forecast based on market volatility, using inputs such as average true range (ATR) and price deviations. This means that in high-volatility conditions, the bands may widen to account for increased price movements, helping traders gauge the current market environment.
How to Use:
Forecasting: Use the forecast line to gain insight into potential future price direction. This line provides a directional bias, helping traders anticipate whether the price may continue along a trend or reverse.
Support and Resistance Zones: The shaded bands act as dynamic support and resistance zones. When price enters the upper (red) band, it may be in an overbought area, while the lower (green) band may indicate oversold conditions. These bands adjust with volatility, so they reflect the current market conditions rather than fixed levels.
Timeframe Recommendations:
This indicator performs best on daily and 4-hour charts due to its reliance on trend and seasonality. It can be used on lower timeframes, but accuracy may vary due to increased price noise.
For traders looking to capture swing trades, the daily and 4-hour timeframes provide a balance of trend stability and signal reliability.
Adjustable Settings:
Alpha, Beta, and Gamma: These settings control the level, trend, and seasonality components of the forecast. Alpha is generally the most sensitive setting for adjusting responsiveness to recent price movements, while Beta and Gamma help fine-tune the trend and seasonal adjustments.
Band Smoothing and Deviation: These settings control the lookback period and width of the volatility bands, allowing users to customize how closely the bands follow price action.
Parameters:
Prediction Length: Sets the length of the forecast, determining how far into the future the prediction line extends.
Season Length: Defines the seasonality cycle. A setting of 14 is typical for bi-weekly cycles, but this can be adjusted based on observed market cycles.
Alpha, Beta, Gamma: These parameters adjust the Holt-Winters model's sensitivity to recent prices, trends, and seasonal patterns.
Band Smoothing: Determines the smoothing applied to the bands, making them either more reactive or smoother.
Ideal Use Cases:
Swing Trading and Trend Following: The Holt-Winters model is particularly suited for capturing larger market trends. Use the forecast line to determine trend direction and the bands to gauge support/resistance levels for potential entries or exits.
Identifying Reversal Zones: The adaptive bands act as dynamic overbought and oversold zones, giving traders potential reversal areas when price reaches these levels.
Important Notes:
No Buy/Sell Signals: This indicator does not produce direct buy or sell signals. It’s intended for visual trend analysis and support/resistance identification, leaving trade decisions to the user.
Not for High-Frequency Trading: Due to the nature of the Holt-Winters model, this indicator is optimized for higher timeframes like the daily and 4-hour charts. It may not be suitable for high-frequency or scalping strategies on very short timeframes.
Adjust for Volatility: If using the indicator on lower timeframes or more volatile assets, consider adjusting the band smoothing and prediction length settings for better responsiveness.
Dollar Cost Averaging (YavuzAkbay)The Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) indicator is designed to support long-term investors following a Dollar Cost Averaging strategy. The core aim of this tool is to provide insights into overbought and oversold levels, assisting investors in managing buy and sell decisions with a clear visual cue system. Specifically developed for use in trending or fluctuating markets, this indicator leverages support and resistance levels to give structure to investors' buying strategies. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the indicator’s key features and intended usage:
Key Features and Color Coding
Overbought/Oversold Detection:
The indicator shades candles from light green to dark green when an asset becomes increasingly overbought. Dark green signals indicate a peak, where the asset is overbought, suggesting a potential opportunity to take partial profits.
Conversely, candles turn from light red to dark red when the market is oversold. Dark red signifies a heavily oversold condition, marking an ideal buying window for initiating or adding to a position. This color scheme provides a quick visual reference for investors to manage entries and exits effectively.
Support and Resistance Levels:
To address the risk of assets falling further after an overbought signal, the DCA indicator dynamically calculates support and resistance levels. These levels guide investors on key price areas to watch for potential price reversals, allowing them to make more informed buying or selling decisions.
Support levels help investors assess whether they should divide their capital across multiple buy orders, starting at the current oversold zone and extending to anticipated support zones for maximum flexibility.
Usage Methodology
This indicator is intended for Dollar Cost Averaging, a method where investors gradually add to their position rather than entering all at once. Here’s how it complements the DCA approach:
Buy at Oversold Levels: When the indicator shows a dark red candle, it signals that the asset is oversold, marking an optimal entry point. The presence of support levels can help investors determine if they should fully invest their intended amount or stagger buys at potential lower levels.
Sell at Overbought Levels: When the indicator transitions to dark green, it suggests that the asset is overbought. This is an ideal time to consider selling a portion of holdings to realize gains. The resistance levels, marked by the indicator, offer guidance on where the price may encounter selling pressure, aiding investors in planning partial exits.
Customizable Settings
The DCA indicator offers several user-adjustable parameters:
Pivot Frequency and Source: Define the pivot point frequency and the source (candle wick or body) for more tailored support/resistance detection.
Maximum Pivot Points: Set the maximum number of pivot points to be used in support/resistance calculations, providing flexibility in adapting to different market structures.
Channel Width and Line Width: Adjust the width of the channel for support/resistance levels and the thickness of the lines for easier visual tracking.
Color Intensities for Overbought/Oversold Levels: Customize the shading intensity for each overbought and oversold level to align with your trading preferences.
Customizable Multi-Timeframe Doji with Ray and Editable LabelScript Overview
Script Name: Customizable Multi-Timeframe Doji Candle Levels with Ray and Editable Label
Purpose: This script helps traders identify significant price levels based on high timeframe Doji candles, allowing them to visualize key areas of support, resistance, entry, and exit. By plotting real-time Doji levels from higher timeframes directly on the current chart, traders can easily spot areas where market indecision or potential trend reversals have previously occurred, making these levels highly relevant for future price action.
How the Script Works
This script detects Doji candles on a selected higher timeframe (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly) and plots a ray at the Doji’s closing level on the current chart. The Doji candle formation, characterized by an open and close that are very close or equal, is often an indicator of market indecision. By identifying these Doji levels from high timeframes, the script provides traders with insight into where strong support and resistance zones may form.
The script continuously monitors and updates the Doji level based on the selected timeframe, ensuring that only the latest detected Doji candle is displayed on the chart, helping traders avoid clutter and focus on the most recent data.
Core Components and Calculations
1 Doji Detection Logic:
-The script calculates the Doji candle formation based on a small body percentage (defined by the C_DojiBodyPercent parameter) and relative symmetry in upper and lower shadows (defined by C_ShadowPercent and C_ShadowEqualsPercent).
-A Doji is considered valid when the open and close prices are nearly equal, and the shadows are symmetric within the defined parameters, indicating indecision.
2 Multi-Timeframe Data Retrieval:
-Using the request.security() function, the script fetches open, high, low, and close prices from the specified higher timeframe. It applies Doji detection logic to this higher timeframe data.
-barmerge.lookahead_on and barmerge.gaps_on ensure real-time updates, so the Doji level is immediately reflected on the chart when detected.
3 Ray and Label Plotting:
-When a Doji candle is detected on the selected timeframe, the script plots a ray at the Doji's close price, extending forward on the chart.
-Customizable options for the ray, including color, width, and style (solid, dotted, or dashed), help traders visually differentiate the Doji levels from other chart elements.
-An editable label can be positioned alongside the ray to denote the Doji level, with customizable text, color, background, and size to provide additional context.
4 Automatic Line and Label Management:
-The script dynamically deletes any previous ray and label when a new Doji is detected. This approach minimizes chart clutter and ensures that only the most recent Doji level from the higher timeframe is displayed.
Customization Options
1 Timeframe Selection:
Users can choose any timeframe (e.g., hourly, daily, weekly, monthly) to display Doji levels based on their specific trading strategy.
2 Ray and Label Appearance:
Ray: Customize color, width, and line style (solid, dotted, dashed) for better visibility and integration with the chart’s theme.
Label: Customize the label text, background color, text color, text size, and position (above, below, left, or right of the ray) for a personalized view.
How to Use This Script
1 Select the Target Timeframe for Doji Detection: Choose a high timeframe (such as daily or weekly) to view Doji-based support/resistance levels.
2 Set Custom Ray and Label Parameters : Adjust the visual aspects of the ray and label to align with your chart setup and make the Doji level stand out.
3 Interpretation of Doji Levels: Use the plotted Doji levels as potential support or resistance zones. Since Doji candles reflect market indecision, they often precede significant price reversals or strong continuation moves. By analyzing these levels, traders can:
- Identify key support/resistance zones based on historical market indecision.
- Set entry and exit levels around these zones to capitalize on potential reversals or
continuations.
-Spot confluence areas where the Doji level aligns with other indicators or technical patterns.
Recommended Chart Setup
For optimal clarity, use this script on a clean chart, free from overlapping indicators. This script is designed to work independently, so avoid layering multiple support/resistance scripts unless essential to avoid clutter. A clean chart helps ensure that Doji levels are readily visible, enabling a clear focus on significant levels relevant to your trading strategy.
IQ Zones [TradingIQ]Hey Traders!
Introducing "IQ Zones".
"IQ Zones" is an indicator that combines support and resistance identification with volume, the "value area" of a candlestick to be exact. IQ Zones identifies turning points in the market; however, the candlestick high or low that formed the key turning point is not necessarily distinguished as the support/resistance area. Instead, the script looks into the bar at lower timeframes and calculates the value area of the candlestick that formed the support or resistance level. Therefore, any lines protruding from a candlestick reflect the value area of that candlestick. These levels (value area high and value area low) are marked on the candlestick as a support/resistance level. If the level formed on high volume it's marked as an "IQ Zone".
Additionally, IQ Zones presents a heat map to show volume intensity at nearby price areas. The heatmap is a product of the Volume Profile (IQ Profile) located on the right of the chart.
The IQ Profile is a segmented volume profile. Recent price is split into fifths (customizable), and individual volume profiles are calculated for all segmented price areas. Price is split into more than one segment to avoid a situation where volume in a ranging price zone far surpasses all other recent price areas - creating an "unusable" volume profile that doesn't offer helpful insights. If desired, you can set the segmenting option to "1" to calculate one unified volume profile for the entire price range.
The image above shows IQ Zones in action!
Core Features of IQ Zones
Value Area Support and Resistance Levels
Segmented volume profile for the recent trading period
Volume intensity heatmap
Support and resistance levels in high volume intensity may be more significant as price stoppers
The image above explains the labels marked along the y-axis of the IQ Profile.
The "more green" a price area/label is, the higher the volume intensity at the marked support/resistance area.
The image above further explains line lines protruding from the IQ Profile.
For this example, the value area of the candlestick (where most trading action occurred) is quite far from the high price of the candlestick that formed a resistance level! Using the value area of a candlestick that marks a key turning point to draw support/resistance offers insight into where the majority of trading action took place when the support/resistance level was forming!
Additionally, you can hover your mouse over the IQ Zone labels (triangles pointing up or down) to see the prices of the value area for the support/resistance level, including the total buying volume and total selling volume at the price area!
The image above further explains the IQ Profile!
You can segment the recent price area anywhere from 1 - 15 times.
The image above further explains IQ Zones and the IQ Profile!
That will be all for this indicator - a fun project to share with the community.
Thank you!

⭕ ROUND NUMBERS IN MARKET PSYCHOLOGY ⭕
Round numbers hold a significant place in financial markets, largely due to the psychological tendencies of traders and investors. These levels often represent areas of interest where human behavior, market biases, and trading strategies converge. Whether it's prices ending in 000, 500, or other recognizable values, these levels naturally attract more attention and influence decision-making.
Round numbers can act as key support or resistance levels and often become focal points in market activity. They are frequently highlighted by financial media, embedded in products like options, and serve as foundations for various trading theories. Their impact extends across different market participants and strategies, making them important focal points in both short-term and long-term market analysis.
Round numbers play an important role in guiding trader behavior and market activity. To better understand why these levels are so impactful, there are several key factors that highlight their significance in trading and price dynamics:
Psychological Impact : Humans naturally gravitate toward round numbers, such as prices ending in 000, 500, or 00. These levels tend to draw attention as traders perceive them as psychologically significant. This behavior is rooted in the cognitive bias known as "left-digit bias," where people assign greater importance to rounded, more recognizable numbers. In trading, this means that prices at these levels are more memorable and thus more likely to attract attention, creating an area where traders focus their buying or selling decisions.
Order Clustering : Traders often place buy and sell orders around these rounded levels, either manually or automatically through stop and limit orders. This clustering leads to the formation of visible support or resistance zones, as the concentrated orders tend to influence price behavior around these key levels. Market participants tend to converge their orders around these price points because of their perceived psychological importance, creating a liquidity pocket. As a result, these areas often act as barriers that the price either struggles to cross or uses as springboards for further movement.
External Influences : Financial media frequently highlights round-number milestones, amplifying market sentiment and drawing traders' attention to these levels. Additionally, algorithmic trading systems often react to round-number thresholds, which can further reinforce price movements, creating self-reinforcing reactions at these levels. As media and analysts emphasize these milestones, more traders pay attention to them, leading to increased volume and often heightened volatility at those points. This self-reinforcing cycle makes round numbers an area where price movement can either accelerate due to a breakout or stall because of clustering interest.
Option Strike Prices : Options contracts typically have strike prices set at round numbers, and as expiration approaches, these levels can influence the price of the underlying asset due to concentrated trading activity. The behavior around these levels, often called "pinning," happens because traders adjust their positions to avoid unfavorable scenarios at these key strikes. This activity tends to concentrate price movement toward these levels as traders hedge their positions, leading to increased liquidity and the potential for abrupt price reactions near option expiration dates.
Whole Number Theory : This theory suggests that whole numbers act as natural psychological barriers, where traders tend to make decisions, place orders, or expect price reactions, making these levels crucial for analysis. Whole numbers are simple to remember and are often used as informal targets for profit-taking or stop placement. This behavior leads to a natural ebb and flow around these levels, where the market finds equilibrium temporarily before deciding on a future direction. Whole numbers tend to work like magnets, drawing price to them and often creating reactions that are visible across different timeframes.
Quarters Theory : Commonly used in Forex markets, this theory focuses on quarter-point increments (e.g., 1.0000, 1.2500, 1.5000) as key levels where price often pauses or reverses. These quarter levels are treated as important psychological barriers, with price frequently interacting at these intervals. Traders use these points to gauge market strength or weakness because quarter levels divide larger round-number ranges into more manageable and meaningful segments. For example, in highly traded forex pairs like EUR/USD, traders might treat 1.2500 as a significant barrier because it represents a halfway point between 1.0000 and 1.5000, offering a balanced reference point for decision-making.
Big Round Numbers : Major round numbers, such as 100, 500, or 1000, often attract significant attention and serve as psychological thresholds. Traders anticipate strong reactions when prices approach or cross these levels. This is often because large round numbers symbolize major milestones, and price behavior around them tends to signal important market sentiment shifts. When price crosses a major level, such as a stock moving above $100 or Bitcoin crossing $50,000, it often creates a surge in trading activity as it is viewed as a validation or invalidation of market trends, drawing in momentum traders and triggering both retail and institutional responses.
By visualizing these round levels on the chart, the Rounded Grid Levels indicator helps traders identify areas where price may pause, reverse, or gain momentum. While round numbers provide useful insights, they should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools for a comprehensive trading strategy.
🛠️ CONFIGURATION AND SETTINGS 🛠️
The Rounded Grid Levels indicator offers a variety of configurable settings to tailor the visualization according to individual trader preferences. Below are the key settings available for customization:
Custom Settings
Rounding Step : The Rounding Step parameter sets the minimum interval between gridlines. This value determines how closely spaced the rounded levels are on the chart. For example, if the Rounding Step is set to 100, gridlines will be displayed at every 100 points (e.g., $100, $200, $300) relative to the current price level. The Rounding Step is scaled to the chart's visible area, meaning users should adjust it appropriately for different assets to ensure effective visualization. Lower values provide a more granular view, while larger values give a broader, higher-level perspective.
Major Grids : Defines the interval at which major gridlines will appear compared to minor ones. For example, if the Rounding Step is 100 and Major Grids is set to 10, major gridlines will be displayed every $1,000, while minor gridlines will be at every $100. This distinction allows traders to better visualize key psychological levels by emphasizing significant price intervals.
Direction : Users can select the gridline direction, choosing between options such as 'Up', 'Down', 'Auto', or 'Neutral'. This setting controls how the gridlines extend relative to the current price level, which can help in analyzing directional trends.
Neutral Direction : This option provides balanced gridlines both above and below the current price, allowing traders to visualize support and resistance levels symmetrically. This is useful for analyzing sideways or ranging markets without directional bias.
Up Direction : The gridlines are tilted upwards, starting from visible lows and extending toward the rounded level at the current price. By choosing Up , traders emphasize an upward sentiment, visualizing price action that aligns with rising trends. This option helps illustrate potential areas where pullbacks may occur, as well as how price might expand upwards in the current market context.
Down Direction : The gridlines are tilted downwards, starting from visible highs and extending toward the rounded level at the current price. Selecting Down allows traders to emphasize a downward sentiment, visualizing how price may expand downwards, which is particularly useful when analyzing downtrends or potential correction levels. The gridlines provide an illustrative view of how price interacts with lower levels during market declines.
Auto Direction : The gridlines automatically adjust their direction based on recent market trends. This adaptive option allows traders to visualize gridlines that dynamically change according to price action, making it suitable for evolving market conditions where the direction is uncertain. It’s useful for traders looking for an indicator that moves in sync with market shifts and doesn’t require manual adjustment.
Grid Type : Allows users to choose between 'Linear' or 'Fan' grid types. The Linear type creates evenly spaced gridlines that can be either horizontal or tilted, depending on the chosen direction setting, providing a straightforward view of price levels. The Fan type radiates lines from a central point, offering a more dynamic perspective for analyzing price expansions relative to the current price. These grid types introduce experimental visualizations influenced by chart properties, including visible highs, lows, and the current price. Regardless of the configuration, the gridlines will always end at the current bar, which represents a rounded price level, ensuring consistency in how key price areas are displayed.
Extend : This setting allows gridlines to be projected into the future, helping traders see potential levels beyond the current bar. When enabled, the behavior of the extended lines varies based on the selected grid type and direction. For Neutral and Horizontal Linear settings, the extended gridlines maintain their round-number alignment indefinitely. However, for Up , Down , or Auto directions, the angle of the extended gridlines can change dynamically based on the chart’s visible high and low or the latest price action. As a result, extended lines may not continue to align with round-number levels beyond the current bar, reflecting instead the current trend and sentiment of the market. Regardless of direction, extended gridlines remain consistently spaced and either parallel or evenly distributed, ensuring a structured visual representation.
Color Settings : Users can customize the colors for resistance, support, and minor gridlines at the current price. This helps in visually distinguishing between different grid types and their significance on the chart.
Color Options
These configuration options make the Rounded Grid Levels indicator a versatile tool for traders looking to customize their charts based on their personal trading strategies and analytical preferences.
🖼️ CHART EXAMPLES 🖼️
The following chart examples illustrate different configurations available in the Rounded Grid Levels indicator. These examples show how variations in grid type, direction, and rounding step settings impact the visualization of price levels. Traders may find that smaller rounding steps are more effective on lower time frames, where precision is key, whereas larger rounding steps help to reduce clutter and highlight key levels on higher time frames. Each image includes a caption to explain the specific configuration used, helping users better understand how to apply these settings in different market conditions.
Smaller Rounding Step (100) : With a smaller rounding step, the gridlines are spaced closely together. This setting is particularly useful for lower time frames where price action is more granular and finer details are needed. It allows traders to track price interactions at narrower levels, but on higher time frames, it may lead to clutter and exceed Pine Script's 500-line limit.
Larger Rounding Step (1000) : With a larger rounding step, the gridlines are spaced farther apart. This visualization is better suited for higher time frames or broader market overviews, allowing users to focus on major psychological levels without overloading the chart. On lower time frames, this may result in fewer actionable levels, but it helps in maintaining clarity and staying within Pine Script's line limit.
Linear Grid Type, Neutral Direction (Traditional Rounded Price Levels) : The Linear gridlines are displayed in a neutral fashion, representing traditional round-number levels with consistent spacing above and below the current price. This layout helps visualize key psychological price levels over time in a straightforward manner.
Linear Grid Type, Down Direction : The Linear gridlines are tilted downwards, remaining parallel and ending at the rounded level at the current price. This setup emphasizes downward market sentiment, allowing traders to visualize price expansion towards lower levels, which is useful when analyzing downtrends or potential correction levels.
Linear Grid Type, Down Direction : The Linear gridlines are tilted downwards, extending from the current price to lower levels. Useful for observing downtrending price movements and visualizing pullback areas during uptrends.
Linear Grid Type, Auto Direction : The Linear gridlines adjust dynamically, tilting either upwards or downwards to align with recent price trends, remaining parallel and ending at the rounded level at the current price. This configuration reflects the current market sentiment and offers traders a flexible way to observe price dynamics as they develop in real time.
Fan Grid Type, Neutral Direction : The fan-shaped gridlines radiate symmetrically from a central point, ending at the rounded level at the current price. This configuration provides an unbiased view of price action, giving traders a balanced visualization of rounded levels without directional influence.
Fan Grid Type, Up Direction : The fan-shaped gridlines originate from lower visible price points and radiate upwards, ending at the rounded level at the current price. This layout helps visualize potential price expansion to higher levels, offering insights into upward momentum while maintaining a dynamic and evolving perspective on market conditions.
Fan Grid Type, Down Direction : The fan-shaped gridlines originate from higher visible price points and radiate downwards, ending at the rounded level at the current price. This setup is particularly useful for observing potential price expansion towards lower levels, illustrating areas where the price might extend during a downtrend.
Fan Grid Type, Auto Direction : The fan-shaped gridlines dynamically adjust, originating from visible chart points based on the current market trend, and radiate outward, ending at the rounded level at the current price. This adaptive visualization offers a continuously evolving representation that aligns with changing market sentiment, helping traders assess price expansion dynamically.
📊 SUMMARY 📊
The Rounded Grid Levels indicator helps traders highlight important round-number price levels on their charts, providing a dynamic way to visualize these psychological areas. With customizable gridline options—including traditional, tilted, and fan-shaped styles—users can adapt the indicator to suit their analysis needs.

⚙️ COMPATIBILITY AND LIMITATIONS ⚙️
Asset Compatibility :
The Rounded Grid Levels indicator is compatible with all asset classes, including cryptocurrencies, forex, stocks, and commodities. Users should adjust both the Rounding Step and the Major Grid settings to ensure the correct scale is used for the specific asset. This adjustment ensures that the most relevant round price levels are displayed effectively regardless of the instrument being analyzed. For instance, when analyzing BTCUSD, a higher Rounding Step may be needed compared to forex pairs like EURUSD, and the Major Grid value should also be adjusted to appropriately emphasize significant levels.
Line Limitations in Pine Script :
The Rounded Grid Levels indicator is subject to Pine Script's 500-line limit. This means that it cannot draw more than 500 gridlines on the chart at any given time. The number of gridlines depends directly on the chosen Rounding Step . If the steps are too small, the gridlines will be spaced too closely, causing the indicator to quickly reach the line limit. For example, if Ethereum is trading around $2,500, a Rounding Step of 100 might be appropriate, but a step of 1.00 would create too many gridlines, exceeding Pine Script's limit. Users should consider appropriate settings to avoid running into this constraint.
Runtime Error Considerations
When using the Rounded Grid Levels indicator, users might encounter a runtime error in specific scenarios. This typically happens if the Rounding Step is set too small, causing the indicator to exceed Pine Script's line limit or take too long to process. This can often occur when switching between charts that have significantly different price ranges. Since the Rounding Step requires flexibility to work with a wide variety of assets—ranging from decimals to thousands—it is not practically limited within the script itself. If a runtime error occurs, the recommended solution is to increase the Rounding Step to a larger value that better matches the current asset's price range.
Runtime Error: If the Rounding Step is too small for the current asset or chart, the indicator may generate a runtime error. Users should increase the Rounding Step to ensure proper visualization.
⚠️ DISCLAIMER ⚠️
The Rounded Grid Levels indicator is not designed as a predictive tool. While it extends gridlines into the future, this extension is purely for visual continuity and does not imply any forecast of future price movements. The primary function of this indicator is to help users visualize significant round number price levels.
The gridlines adjust dynamically based on the visible chart range, ensuring that the most relevant round price levels are displayed. This behavior allows the indicator to adapt to your current view of the market, but it should not be used to predict price movements. The indicator is intended as a visual aid and should be used alongside other tools in a comprehensive market analysis approach.
While gridlines may align with significant price levels in hindsight, they should not be interpreted as indicators of future price movements. Traders are encouraged to adjust settings based on their strategy and market conditions.

Confluence StrategyOverview of Confluence Strategy
The Confluence Strategy in trading refers to the combination of multiple technical indicators, support/resistance levels, and chart patterns to identify high-probability trading opportunities. The idea is that when several indicators agree on a price movement, the likelihood of that movement being successful increases.
Key Components
Technical Indicators:
Moving Averages (MA): Commonly used to determine the trend direction. Look for crossovers (e.g., the 50-day MA crossing above the 200-day MA).
Relative Strength Index (RSI): Helps identify overbought or oversold conditions. A reading above 70 may indicate overbought conditions, while below 30 suggests oversold.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): Useful for spotting changes in momentum. Look for MACD crossovers and divergence from price.
Support and Resistance Levels:
Identify key levels where price has historically reversed. These can be drawn from previous highs/lows, Fibonacci retracement levels, or psychological price levels.
Chart Patterns:
Patterns like head and shoulders, double tops/bottoms, or flags can indicate potential reversals or continuations in price.
Strategy Implementation
Set Up Your Chart:
Add the desired indicators (e.g., MA, RSI, MACD) to your TradingView chart.
Mark significant support and resistance levels.
Identify Confluence Points:
Look for situations where multiple indicators align. For instance, if the price is near a support level, the RSI is below 30, and the MACD shows bullish divergence, this may signal a buying opportunity.
Entry and Exit Points:
Entry: Place a trade when your confluence conditions are met. Use limit orders for better prices.
Exit: Set profit targets based on resistance levels or use trailing stops. Consider the risk-reward ratio to ensure your trades are favorable.
Risk Management:
Always implement stop-loss orders to protect against unexpected market moves. Position size should reflect your risk tolerance.
Example of a Confluence Trade
Setup:
Price approaches a strong support level.
RSI shows oversold conditions (below 30).
The 50-day MA is about to cross above the 200-day MA (bullish crossover).
Action:
Enter a long position as the conditions align.
Set a stop loss just below the support level and a take profit at the next resistance level.
Conclusion
The Confluence Strategy can significantly enhance trading accuracy by ensuring that multiple indicators support a trade decision. Traders on TradingView can customize their indicators and charts to fit their personal trading styles, making it a flexible approach to technical analysis.
