MACD Highs and Lows - Dynamic Support & ResistanceDescription:
Enhance your trading strategy with the MACD Highs and Lows indicator, designed to identify dynamic support and resistance levels based on MACD crossovers. This tool plots key price levels triggered by shifts in MACD momentum, helping traders spot potential reversal zones, breakout points, and trend confirmation signals.
Key Features
Dynamic Levels: Automatically plots recent highs/lows when MACD crosses above/below the zero line.
Customizable MACD Parameters:
Adjustable fast/slow lengths (default: 12/26).
Choose between SMA or EMA for oscillator/signal line.
Flexible signal smoothing (1-50 periods).
Visual Clarity:
Clear green/red lines for highs and lows.
Tracks both price extremes and adjacent candle levels (e.g., high-of-low-bar, low-of-high-bar).
Multi-Timeframe Utility: Works across charts for swing trading, scalping, or trend analysis.
How It Works
Bullish Signal: When MACD crosses above zero, the indicator marks the recent lowest low (support) and its corresponding high.
Bearish Signal: When MACD crosses below zero, it plots the recent highest high (resistance) and its corresponding low.
Levels persist until the next crossover, creating actionable reference zones.
Use Cases
Trend Confirmation: Validate breakouts when price closes above/below plotted levels.
Stop Loss Placement: Set stops beyond recent dynamic highs/lows.
Divergence Detection: Spot discrepancies between MACD momentum and price action.
Settings Tips:
Increase Fast Length for responsiveness or Slow Length for smoother signals.

Flux Charts - S&D Screener💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing Supply & Demand Zones (S&D) Screener! This screener can spot trading opportunities for Supply & Demand traders across 8 different tickers and timeframes simultaneously! This screener offers a wide range of configurable settings, explained within this write-up.
S&D Screener Features:
Supply & Demand Zones : This tool can detect Supply & Demand zones using one of the two detection methods.
Highly Configurable : Offers multiple parameters for fine-tuning detection settings.
Up to 8 Tickers : Allows traders to analyze multiple tickers & timeframes simultaneously for enhanced accuracy.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
The S&D Screener is the first ever tool on TradingView that allows traders to screen 8 different tickers on different timeframes for Supply & Demand Zones. Key factors that make it unique include:
✅ Comprehensive Dashboard – This screener provides a complete and customizable dashboard designed to enhance traders' decision-making by consolidating crucial Supply & Demand insights into one user-friendly interface.

By combining multiple analytical elements in a single view, this screener empowers traders with the insights needed to navigate the market more effectively.
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The S&D Screener helps traders identify Supply & Demand Zones on multiple tickers & timeframes. It offers customizable settings to adapt to different trading styles. The screener includes two zone detection methods. The Momentum Method identifies zones based on strong bullish or bearish price movements, making it ideal for traders who seek quick market reactions. The Regression Method uses statistical regression to detect zones by analyzing price deviations from the trend, which is more suitable for long-term traders. You can customize your zone preferences and enable up to 8 tickers and their respective timeframes. You'll be able to see the status of the latest detected zones on that ticker/timeframe. You can also see the distance from current price of the ticker to the zone and how many times price has retested that zone.
Supply Zone
In trading, a supply zone is a specific area on a price chart where selling interest surpasses buying interest, leading to a potential decline in asset prices. This zone typically forms after a price rally, indicating that sellers find the asset overvalued and are prepared to sell, creating downward pressure. Identifying supply zones can help traders anticipate potential price reversals or pullbacks.
Trading Possibilities with Supply Zones
Entering Short Positions -> When the price approaches a recognized supply zone, traders may consider initiating short positions, anticipating that increased selling pressure will drive prices down.
Setting Profit Targets -> For traders holding long positions, supply zones can serve as strategic points to set profit targets, as these areas may signal potential resistance and a subsequent price drop.
Demand Zone
In trading, a demand zone is a specific area on a price chart where buying interest is strong enough to halt a downtrend and potentially reverse it upward. This zone indicates a price level where demand exceeds supply, leading to a rise in price. Identifying these zones can provide traders with strategic entry points for potential long positions.
Trading Possibilities with Demand Zones
Entering Long Positions -> When the price approaches a recognized demand zone, traders may consider initiating long positions, anticipating that increased buying pressure will drive prices up.
Setting Profit Targets -> For traders holding short positions, demand zones can serve as strategic points to set profit targets, as these areas may signal potential resistance and a subsequent price increase.
Momentum Detection Method
The Momentum Detection Method identifies supply and demand zones by analyzing the strength and direction of price movements over a specified period. It looks for a sequence of strong bullish or bearish candles to determine potential zones. The method is sensitive to the ‘Sensitivity’ setting, which adjusts the threshold for what constitutes a "strong" candle.
Using the momentum method is ideal for traders looking to capitalize on immediate price reactions and momentum shifts.
Regression Detection Method
The Regression Method uses statistical regression to identify supply and demand zones by analyzing price consolidation patterns. It fits a regression line to price data and identifies zones where price deviates significantly from the trend. This method is more mathematical and less reliant on individual candle patterns. It focuses on the overall price structure and identifies zones based on statistical deviations from the trend.
This method is particularly useful for traders who focus on longer-term price trends and prefer a more statistical approach to pinpoint zones.
Using the momentum method is ideal for traders looking to capitalize on immediate price reactions and momentum shifts.
Status ->
Far -> This status indicates that the current price is significantly distant from any identified supply or demand zones. In this scenario, traders might exercise patience, waiting for the price to approach these zones before considering entry or exit points.
Approaching ⬆️ -> The price is rising towards a supply zone, suggesting potential selling opportunities as the price nears an area where selling pressure previously dominated.
Approaching ⬇️ -> The price is falling towards a demand zone, indicating potential buying opportunities as the price approaches an area known for strong buying interest.
Inside -> The current price is within the boundaries of a supply or demand zone. This status often signals a critical decision point:
Inside a Supply Zone: The area where selling pressure may increase, potentially leading to a price decline. Traders might look for confirmation before initiating short positions.
Inside a Demand Zone: The area where buying interest could surge, possibly resulting in a price increase. Traders might seek validation before entering long positions.
Being "inside" a zone suggests heightened market activity and potential volatility, warranting close monitoring for trading signals.
Retests -> A retest occurs when the price revisits a supply or demand zone but fails to break through it. Specifically, during a retest, the wick of a candlestick enters the zone, but the candle closes below the supply zone or above the demand zone. This price action suggests that the zone remains a strong area of resistance or support, as the market couldn't sustain movement beyond it. Traders often view such retests as confirmations to enter positions in the direction opposite to the zone's boundary. For instance, if the price retests a supply zone and fails to close above it, it may signal a selling opportunity. Conversely, a failed retest of a demand zone could indicate a buying opportunity. Monitoring the number of retests can provide insights into the strength of these zones; multiple retests without a breakout may reinforce the zone's significance. Here you can see how many times the price retested the supply or demand zone.
⚠ Timeframe Restriction : The selected timeframes for analysis cannot be lower than the chart’s current timeframe to ensure proper data alignment.
⏰ ALERTS
This screener supports alerts, so you never miss a key market move. You can choose to receive alerts when a new demand or supply zone is created, helping you spot potential trading opportunities. Additionally, you can enable alerts for retests, which notify you when the price returns to test a previously identified zone. The alerts will work for each enabled ticker in the settings.
⚙️ SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Detection Method : There are two detection methods you can choose from for identifying Supply & Demand Zones. Both methods aim to identify key areas where price is likely to react, but they do so using different approaches. Traders can choose the method that aligns with their trading style and time horizon.
Sensitivity : The Sensitivity setting allows traders to adjust how aggressively the script identifies supply and demand zones when using the Momentum Detection Method. This setting directly impacts the threshold for detecting zones when using the momentum detection method.
High Sensitivity -> Detects smaller price movements, resulting in more zones being identified. This is ideal for traders who want to capture even minor supply and demand imbalances and prefer a higher frequency of potential trading opportunities.
Medium Sensitivity -> Balances between detecting significant price movements and avoiding excessive noise. This setting is suitable for most traders who want a moderate number of zones without being overwhelmed.
Low Sensitivity -> Focuses on larger, more significant price movements, resulting in fewer zones being identified. This is ideal for traders who prioritize quality over quantity and prefer to focus on the most impactful supply and demand areas.
Lowest Sensitivity -> Detects only the strongest and most pronounced price movements, identifying the most significant zones. This setting is best for traders who want to focus on high-probability, high-impact zones and avoid minor fluctuations.
Zone Invalidation : The Zone Invalidation setting determines how supply and demand zones are invalidated.
Wick -> A zone is invalidated if a candle’s wick goes below a demand zone or above a supply zone.
Close -> A zone is invalidated if a candle closes below a demand zone or above a supply zone.
Zone Visibility Range : The Zone Visibility Range setting controls how far from the current price supply and demand zones are displayed on the chart. It helps traders focus on relevant zones while avoiding clutter from distant or less impactful areas.
Minimum Zone Width : The Minimum Zone Width setting defines the smallest size a supply or demand zone must have to be displayed on the chart. It uses the Average True Range (ATR) as a reference to ensure zones are proportionate to current market volatility.
Minimum Zone Length : The Minimum Zone Length setting determines the minimum number of bars a supply or demand zone must span to be displayed on the chart. This setting helps filter out short-lived or insignificant zones, ensuring only meaningful areas of supply or demand are highlighted.
2. Tickers
You can set, then enable or disable up to 8 tickers in this section to get informed about their latest supply or demand zone.

📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The first setting you will want to set it the pyramiding setting. This setting controls the number of simultaneous trades in the same direction allowed in the strategy. For example, if you set it to 1, only one trade can be active in any time, and the second trade will not be entered unless the first one is exited. If it is set to 2, the script will handle both of them at the same time. Note that you should enter the same value to this pyramiding setting, and the pyramiding setting in the "Properties" tab of the script for this to work.
You can enable and set a backtesting window that will limit the entries to between the start date & end date.
Then, you can enter your desired settings for Supply & Demand Zones. You can also enable and set up to 3 timeframes, which you can use later on when customizing your strategies enter / exit conditions.
Entry Conditions
From the "Long Conditions" or the "Short Conditions" groups, you can set your position entry conditions. For settings like "initial capital" or "order size", you can open the "Properties" tab, where these are handled.
The S&D Automation can use the following conditions for entry conditions :
1. Demand Zone
Detection: Triggered when a Demand Zone forms or is detected
Retest: Triggered when price retests a Demand Zone. A retest is confirmed when a candle enters a Demand Zone and closes outside of it.
2nd Retest: Triggered when price retests a Demand Zone for the second time. A retest is confirmed when a candle enters a Demand Zone and closes outside of it.
3rd Retest: Triggered when price retests a Demand Zone for the third time. A retest is confirmed when a candle enters a Demand Zone and closes outside of it.
Retracement: Triggered when price touches a Demand Zone
Break: Triggered when a Demand Zone is invalidated by candle close or wick, depending on the user's input.
2. Supply Zone
Detection: Triggered when a Supply Zone forms or is detected
Retest: Triggered when price retests a Supply Zone. A retest is confirmed when a candle enters a Supply Zone and closes outside of it.
2nd Retest: Triggered when price retests a Supply Zone for the second time. A retest is confirmed when a candle enters a Supply Zone and closes outside of it.
3rd Retest: Triggered when price retests a Supply Zone for the third time. A retest is confirmed when a candle enters a Supply Zone and closes outside of it.
Retracement: Triggered when price touches a Supply Zone
Break: Triggered when a Supply Zone is invalidated by candle close or wick, depending on the user's input.
3. Any Zone
Detection: Triggered when any Supply or Demand Zone forms or is detected
Retest: Triggered when price retests any Supply or Demand Zone. A retest is confirmed when a candle enters any Supply or Demand Zone and closes outside of it.
2nd Retest: Triggered when price retests any Supply or Demand Zone for the second time. A retest is confirmed when a candle enters any Supply or Demand Zone and closes outside of it.
3rd Retest: Triggered when price retests any Supply or Demand Zone for the third time. A retest is confirmed when a candle enters any Supply or Demand Zone and closes outside of it.
Retracement: Triggered when price touches any Supply or Demand Zone
Break: Triggered when any Supply or Demand Zone is invalidated by candle close or wick, depending on the user's input.
🕒 TIMEFRAME CONDITIONS
The S&D Automation supports Multi-Timeframe (MTF) features, just like the Supply & Demand indicator. When setting an entry condition, you can also choose the timeframe.
To set up MTF conditions, navigate to the 'Timeframes' section in the settings, select your desired timeframes, and enable them. You can choose up to three timeframes.
Once you've selected your timeframes, you can use them in your strategy. When setting long and short entry/exit conditions, you can choose from Timeframe 1, Timeframe 2, or Timeframe 3.
External Conditions
Users can use external indicators on the chart to set entry conditions.
The second dropdown in the external condition settings allows you to choose a conditional operator to compare external outputs. Available options include:
Less Than or Equal To: <=
Less Than: <
Equal To: =
Greater Than: >
Greater Than or Equal To: >=
The position entry conditions work like this ;
Each side has 5 S&D Zone conditions and 1 Source condition. Each condition can be enabled or disabled using the checkbox on the left side of them.
The next selection is the alert type, which you can select between "Detection", "Retest", "Retracement" or "Break".
You can select which timeframe this condition should work on from Timeframe 1, 2, or 3. If you select "Any Timeframe", the condition will work for all timeframes.
Lastly select the step of this condition from 1 to 6.
The Source Condition
The last condition on each side is a source condition that is different from the others. Using this condition, you can create your own logic using other indicators' outputs on your chart. For example, suppose that you have an EMA indicator in your chart. You can have the source condition to something like "EMA > high".
The Step System
Each condition has a step number, and conditions are in topological order based on them.
The conditions are executed step by step. This means the condition with step 2 cannot be executed before the condition with step 1 is executed.
Conditions with the same step numbers have "OR" logic. This means that if you have 2 conditions with step 3, the condition with step 4 can trigger after only one of the step 3 conditions is executed.
➕ OTHER ENTRY FEATURES
The S&D Automation allows traders to choose when to execute trades and when not to execute trades.
1. Only Take Trades
This setting lets users specify the time period when their strategy can open or execute trades.
2. Don't Take Trades
This setting lets users specify time periods when their strategy can't open or execute trades.
↩️ EXIT CONDITIONS
1. Exit on Opposite Signal
When enabled, a long position will close when short entry conditions are met, and a short position will close when long entry conditions are met.
2. Exit on Session End
When enabled, positions will be closed at the end of the trading session.
📈 TAKE PROFIT CONDITIONS
There are several methods available for setting take profit exits and conditions.
1. Entry Condition TP
Users can use entry conditions as triggers for take-profit exits. This setting can be found under the long and short exit conditions.
2. Fixed TP
Users can set a fixed TP for exits. This setting can be found under the long and short exit conditions. Users can choose between the following:
Price: This method triggers a TP exit when price reaches a specified level. For example, if you set the Price TP to 10 and buy NASDAQ:TSLA at $190, the trade will automatically exit when the price reaches $200 ($190 + $10).
Ticks: This method triggers a TP exit when price moves a specified number of ticks.
Percentage (%): This method triggers a TP exit when price moves a specified percentage.
ATR: This method triggers a TP exit based on a specified multiple of the Average True Range (ATR).
📉 STOP LOSS CONDITIONS
There are several methods available for setting stop-loss exits and conditions.
1. Entry Condition SL
Users can use entry conditions as triggers for stop-loss exits. This setting can be found under the long and short exit conditions.
2. Fixed SL
Users can set a fixed SL for exits. This setting can be found under the long and short exit conditions. Users can choose between the following:
Price: This method triggers a SL exit when price reaches a specified level. For example, if you set the Price SL to 10 and buy NASDAQ:TSLA at $200, the trade will automatically exit when the price reaches $190 ($200 - $10).
Ticks: This method triggers a SL exit when price moves a specified number of ticks.
Percentage (%): This method triggers a SL exit when price moves a specified percentage.
ATR: This method triggers a SL exit based on a specified multiple of the Average True Range (ATR).
3. Trailing Stop
An explanation & example for the trailing stop feature is present on the write-up within the next section.
Exit conditions have the same logic of constructing conditions like the entry ones. You can construct a Take-Profit Condition & a Stop-Loss Condition. Note that the Take-Profit condition will only work if the position is in profit, regardless of if it's triggered or not. The same applies for the Stop-Loss condition, meaning that it will only work if the position is in loss.
You can also set a Fixed TP & Fixed SL based on the price movement after the position is entered. You have options like "Price", "Ticks", "%", or "Average True Range". For example, you can set a Fixed TP like "5%", and the position will be entered once it moves 5% up in a long position.
Trailing Stop
For the Fixed SL, you also have a "Trailing" stop option, for which you can set its activation level as well. The Trailing stop activation level and its value are expressed in ticks. Check this scenario for an example :
We have a ticker with a tick value of $1. Our Trailing Stop is set to 10 ticks, and the activation level is set to 30 ticks.
We buy 1 contract when the price is $100.
When the price becomes $110, we are in $10 (10 ticks) profit and the trailing stop is now activated.
The current price our stop's on is $110 - $30 (30 ticks), which is the level of $80.
The trailing stop will only move if the price moves up the highest high the price has been after we entered the position.
Let's suppose that price moves up $40 right after our trailing stop is activated. The price will now be $150, and our trailing stop will sit on $150 - $30 (30 ticks) = $120.
If the price is down the $120 level, our stop loss will be triggered.
There is also a "Hard SL" option designed for a backup stop-loss when trailing stops are enabled. You can enable & set this option and if the price goes down before our trailing stop even activates, the position will be exited.
You can also move stop-loss to the break-even (entry price of the position) after a certain profit is achieved using the last setting of the exit conditions. Note that for this to work, you must have a Fixed SL set-up.
➕ OTHER EXIT FEATURES
1. Move Stop Loss to Breakeven
This setting allows the strategy to automatically move the SL to Breakeven (BE) when the position is in profit by a certain amount. Users can choose between the following:
Price: This method moves the SL to BE when price reaches a specified level.
Ticks: This method moves the SL to BE when price moves a specified number of ticks.
Percentage (%): This method moves the SL to BE when price moves a specified percentage.
ATR: This method moves the SL to BE when price moves a specified multiple of the Average True Range (ATR).
Example Entry Scenario
To give an example , check this scenario; out conditions are :
LONG CONDITIONS
Demand Zone Detection, Step 1
Supply Zone Retest, Step 2
Demand Zone Break, Step 2
open > close, Step 3
First, the strategy needs to detect a Demand Zone Detection in order to start working.
After it's detected, now it's looking for either a Supply Zone Retest, or a Demand Zone Break to proceed to the next step, the reason for this is that they both have the same step number.
After one of them is detected, the strategy will consistently check candlesticks for the condition open > close. If a bullish candlestick occurs, a long position will be entered.

Adaptive Supply and Demand [EdgeTerminal]Adaptive Supply and Demand is a dynamic supply and demand indicator with a few unique twists. It considers volume pressure, volatility-based adjustments and multi-time frame momentum for confidence scoring (multi-step confirmation) to generate dynamic lines that adjust based on the market and also to generate dynamic support/resistance levels for the supply and demand lines.
The dynamic support and resistance lines shown gives you a better situational awareness of the current state of the market and add more context to why the market is moving into a certain direction.
> Trading Scenarios
When the confidence score is over 80%, strong volume pressure in trend direction (up or down), volatility is low and momentum is aligned across timeframes, there is an indication of a strong upward or downward trend.
When the supply and demand line crossover, the confidence score is over 75% and the volume pressure is shifting, this can be an indicator of trend reversal. Use tight initial stops, scale into position as trend develops, monitor the volume pressure for continuation and wait for confidence confirmation.
When the confiance score is below 60%, the volume pressure is choppy, volatility is high, you want to avoid trading or reduce position size, wait for confidence improvements, use support and resistance for entries/exits and use tighter stops due to market conditions. This is an indication of a ranging market.
Another scenario is when there is a sudden volume pressure increase, and a raising confidence score, the volatility is expanding and the bar momentum is aligning the volatility direction. This can indicate a breakout scenario.
> How it Works
1. Volume Pressure Analysis
Volume Pressure Analysis is a key component that measures the true buying and selling force in the market. Here's a detailed breakdown. The idea is to standardize volume to prevent large spikes from skewing results.
The indicator employs an adaptive volume normalization technique to detect genuine buying and selling pressure.
It takes current volume and divides it by average volume.
If normVol > 1: Current volume is above average
If normVol < 1: Current volume is below average
An example if this would be If current volume is 1500 and average is 1000, normVol = 1.5 (50% above average)
Another component of the volume pressure analysis is the Price Change Calculation sub-module. The purpose of this is to measure price movement relative to recent average.
It works by subtracting the average price from the current price. If the value is positive, price is average and if negative, price is below average.
Finally, the volume pressure is calculated to combine volume and price for true pressure reading.
2. Savitzky-Golay Filtering
SG filtering implements advanced signal smoothing while preserving important trend features. It uses weighted moving average approximation, preserves higher moments of data and reduces noise while maintaining signal integrity.
This results in smoother signal lines, reduced false crossovers and better trend identification. Traditional moving averages tend to lag and smooth out important features. Additionally, simple moving averages can miss critical turning points and regular smoothing can delay signal generation.
SG filtering preserves higher moments such as peaks, valleys and trends, reduces noise while maintaining signal sharpness.
It works by creating a symmetric weighting scheme. This way center points get the highest weights while edge points get the lowest weight.
3. Parkinson's Volatility
Parkinson's Volatility is an advanced volatility measurement formula using high-low range data. It uses high-low range for volatility calculation, incorporates logarithmic returns and annualized the volatility measure.
This results in more accurate volatility measurement, better risk assessment and dynamic signal sensitivity.
4. Multi-timeframe Momentum
This combines signals from each module for each timeframe to calculate momentum across three timeframes. It also applies weighted importance to each timeframe and generates a composite momentum signal.
This results in a more comprehensive trend analysis, reduced timeframe bias and better trend confirmation.
> Indicator Settings
Short-term Period:
Lower values makes it more sensitive, meaning it will generate more signals. Higher values makes it less sensitive, resulting in fewer signals. We recommend a 5 to 15 range for day trading, and 10 to 20 for swing trading
Medium-term Period:
Lower values result in faster trend confirmation and higher values show slower and more reliable confirmation. We recommend a range of 15-25 for day trading and 20-30 for swing trading.
Long-term Period:
Lower values makes it more responsive to trend changes and higher values are better for major trend identification. We recommend a range of 40-60 for day trading and 50-100 for swing trading.
Volume Analysis Window:
Lower values result in more sensitivity to volume changes and higher values result in smoother volume analysis. The optimal range is 15-25 for most trading styles.
Confidence Threshold:
Lower values generate more signals but quality decreases. Higher values generate fewer signals but accuracy increases.The optimal range is 0.65-0.8 for most trading conditions.
Malaysian SnR [by DanielM]The Malaysian SnR (Support and Resistance) levels are a popular trading concept that identifies specific price levels on charts which are considered significant for trading decisions. Here's a breakdown of the concepts:
A Levels and V Levels: These refer to specific types of SNR levels:
A Levels: These are formed at the highest points of price movements. The indicator highlights these levels with a red line.
V Levels: These are formed at the lowest points of price movements, typically observed as valleys in chart patterns. The indicator highlights these levels with a green line.
Fresh and Unfresh Levels:
Fresh Levels: These are price levels that have not been touched by a wick since their formation. They are considered more significant because they might provide a stronger reaction when the price touches these levels again.
Unfresh Levels: These are levels that have been touched by a wick since their formation. Each time a level is tested, it is considered less significant because it might offer weaker resistance or support. A level that has been tested can become fresh again if it's crossed by a candle body.
Gaps:
A gap occurs when you have two bullish candles or two bearish candles. It is defined as the area between the close of the first candle and the open of the next one. It is marked by drawing a line at the closing price of the first candle, thus representing the level where the gap was initially observed. The indicator highlights these levels with a blue lines for bullish gaps and violet lines for bearish gaps.
Fresh vs. Unfresh Gaps:
Similar to A and V levels, gaps can be classified as fresh or unfresh. A fresh gap is one that hasn't been touched by a wick after it was created. These are often considered more significant because they may hold stronger as potential support or resistance. Unfresh gaps have been touched by a wick, and they may be considered less significant. A gap that has been tested can become fresh again if it's crossed by a candle body.
Inputs:
Number of bars to look back to detect A levels, V levels, and Gaps.
Allows users to toggle the visibility of only fresh A and V levels.
Allows users to decide whether to display gap levels or not.
Allows users to decide whether to display only fresh gaps.
Allows the users to set the maximum number of A levels, V levels and gaps on the chart.

________________________________________
Some Candles represent Accumulation/Distribution of Orders while others do not
-Boring Candles (Candle with Body Range <=50% of Candle Range):
They imply that transactions are happening in a range thus Demand and Supply is in balance and orders are potentially being accumulated/distributed by the Big Boys
-Exciting Candles (Candle with Body Range > 50% of Candle Range) :
They imply imbalance between Demand and Supply thus price starts moving either up or down.
Zones is made up of 3 (three) components : Leg In, Base and Leg Out
-Leg In (Exciting Candles to the Left of Basing)
-Base will always be Boring Candles.
-Leg Out (Exciting Candles to the Right of Basing) will always be Exciting Candles.
There are 4 (four) types of Zones , namely:
1.Rally-Base-Rally (RBR) : This structure represents a bullish continuation zone. It occurs when the price rallies (increases), forms a base (consolidates), and then rallies again. The base represents a period where buying interest builds up before the continuation of the upward movement. This zone can act as support, where buyers may step back in if the price revisits the area.
2.Drop-Base-Rally (DBR) : This structure marks a bullish reversal zone. It forms when the price drops, creates a base, and then rallies. The base indicates a potential exhaustion of selling pressure and a build-up of buying interest. When price revisits this zone, it may act as support, signaling a buying opportunity.
3.Rally-Base-Drop (RBD) : This structure signifies a bearish reversal zone. Here, the price rallies, consolidates into a base, and then drops. The base indicates a temporary balance before sellers overpower buyers. If price returns to this zone, it may act as resistance, with selling interest potentially re-emerging.
4.Drop-Base-Drop (DBD) : This structure is a bearish continuation zone. It occurs when the price drops, forms a base, and then continues dropping. This base reflects a pause before further downward movement. The zone may act as resistance, with sellers possibly stepping back in if the price revisits the area.
________________________________________
a R (Rally) or a D (Drop) is always 1 (one) bar, but the B (Base) can be 1 (one) to maximum 6 (six) bars

Usage in Real Trading
There are 2 (two) ways to use the Supply and Demand Dashboard in Real Trading :
1. Prices will potentially touch the Demand Zone first and then continue their Bullish trend.
2. If multiple timeframes show the same zone, then a trend is likely to occur (image above)
example:
MultiTime Frame shows DBD then it is possible that the Trend will go down
________________________________________
Look at the image below :
• Top Left: M15 (15-Min Chart) – Dashboard Overview.
• Bottom Left: M30 (30-Min Chart) – DBD formed.
• Top Right: H4 (4-Hour Chart) – DBD confirmed.
• Bottom Right: D1 (Daily Chart) – "Shadow" shows RBR from the previous candle.

Dynamic Supply and Demand Zones [AlgoAlpha]Introducing the Dynamic Supply and Demand Zones by AlgoAlpha. This indicator is designed to automatically identify and visualize dynamic supply and demand zones on your chart, helping traders pinpoint potential reversal areas and assess market sentiment with enhanced clarity. It adapts to market conditions using a dynamic look-back mechanism, making it more responsive to recent price movements. 📈💡
Key Features
📊 Dynamic Look-Back : Automatically adjusts the look-back period based on the most recent pivot point, ensuring the most relevant data is analyzed.
🎯 Pivot Point Detection : Utilizes a user-defined period to detect significant pivot highs and lows, marking potential reversal points with precision.
🛠 Customizable Parameters : Offers extensive customization options including look-back period, pivot detection sensitivity, resolution, and zone tolerance.
🗺 Visual Display : Shows supply and demand zones as boxes on the chart, with optional profiles and background highlighting to differentiate between bullish and bearish zones.
🖍 Color-Coded Zones : Zones are color-coded for easy identification: green for bullish, red for bearish, and gray for neutral levels.
🔔 Alert Conditions : Triggers alerts when new pivot points are detected, ensuring you never miss a key market movement.
How to Use
🚀 Adding the Indicator : Press the star icon and add the indicator to favorites. Add it to your chart and adjust settings to fit your trading strategy.
🔍 Zone Analysis : Observe the color-coded zones on the chart. Bullish zones indicate potential support areas, while bearish zones suggest resistance. Monitor price interactions with these zones for potential entry and exit signals.
🔔 Alerts : Activate alert conditions for new pivot detections to stay ahead of market reversals.
How It Works
The indicator starts by detecting pivot highs and lows over a specified period. These pivots serve as reference points for determining the analysis range. If the Dynamic Look-Back feature is enabled, the look-back range dynamically adjusts from the most recent pivot to the current bar. Otherwise, a fixed look-back period is used. The price range is divided into multiple bins based on a specified resolution, and each bin’s volume is calculated by accumulating the volume of candles that fall within its price range. A zone is defined as significant if its volume is less than the adjacent bins, and the difference meets the Zone Tolerance criteria, indicating a potential area of support or resistance. These zones are then plotted on the chart as boxes. Bullish zones are shown in green, and bearish zones in red, helping traders visually identify key levels where supply and demand imbalances may cause price reversals.
Supply Demand by WowTradingInfoThis indicator identifies supply and demand zones based on price action, which is a crucial concept for technical analysis. Supply zones represent areas where the price has historically shown selling pressure, while demand zones show areas with strong buying interest.
Explanation:
Rally-Base-Rally (RBR):
A rally is defined as a price movement where the percentage increase between the current high and the previous low.
A base is defined as a period of consolidation where price stays within a narrow range, with low volatility.
A RBR pattern is detected when a rally occurs, followed by a base, and then another rally.
Drop-Base-Drop (DBD):
A drop is identified when the price decrease between the current low and the previous high.
A DBD pattern is detected when a drop occurs, followed by a base, and then another drop.
Zone Marking:
RBR Zones are drawn with repaint the candles color as yellow (where buyers are likely to step in).
DBD Zones are drawn with repaint the candles color as pink (where sellers are likely to step in).
Example Use Case:
Rally-Base-Rally: When you see a yellow zone, it suggests that price rallied, consolidated, and is likely to rally again. It can be used as a potential demand zone.
Drop-Base-Drop: pink zones indicate that price dropped, consolidated, and may drop again. It can be used as a potential supply zone.
This script will help you automatically detect and visualize RBR and DBD patterns on your TradingView chart. These zones can provide valuable insights into areas where price may react due to past buying or selling pressure.
Demand Supply Zone AlertsDemand Supply Zone Alert Indicator
This indicator functions as a scanner/screener and is designed to identify symbols with potential demand and supply zones and generate alerts based on your customized settings. It does not visually plot anything on the chart but is used to place alerts.
Key Features:
1. Demand Supply Zone Patterns:
- Drop Base Rally
- Rally Base Rally
- Rally Base Drop
- Drop Base Drop
2. Zoning Methods:
- Wick to Wick: In a demand zone, this method uses the highest high of the basing as the proximal line. For supply zones, it uses the lowest low of the basing.
- Body to Wick: In a demand zone, this method uses the highest body of the basing as the proximal line. For supply zones, it uses the lowest body of the basing.
3. Legin Methods:
- Candle Type: Based on the candle's bullish or bearish structure.
- Candle Color: Uses the candle color to determine the legin, with green indicating a rally and red indicating a drop.
4. Additional Zone Options:
- Follow Through Pattern: Zones with one legout followed by another legout, based on user-defined strength settings.
- Overnight Gap Zones: Zones formed due to overnight gaps after the basing.
- All Demand Supply Zone Structures: Includes all zones, even if they are not considered quality zones.
5. Zone Settings:
- Number of Candles in Basing: Customize the number of candles in the basing phase. For example, setting it to 3 will only identify zones with 3 or fewer basing candles.
- Legout Strength for Single Legout Pattern: Defines how strong a legout candle must be to qualify as a zone.
- Legout Strength for Follow-Through Pattern: Specifies the strength required for two consecutive legout candles to qualify as a follow-through pattern.
Functionality:
The indicator identifies zones based on a three-component structure: legin, basing, and legout. It uses an algorithm that categorizes candles as legin, basing, or legout based on their range compared to the average candle on the chart. Quality zones are defined by legout candles that are significantly larger than the average candle, while basing candles are smaller.
Once a valid zone structure is identified, the indicator will generate an alert from the list of symbols provided in the settings. Alerts will notify users according to their alert notification settings.
Usage Recommendations:
- This indicator works as a real-time scanner or screener to shortlist symbols when a valid zone is formed based on user settings.
- It aids in identifying potential demand and supply zones, but does not provide explicit buy or sell signals.
- Users should integrate this tool with their own trading plan and thoroughly evaluate any identified symbols before making trades.
Limitations:
This indicator does not provide explicit buy or sell signals. It is intended to aid in identifying symbols where demand and supply zones are being created. Users should use this tool in conjunction with their own trade plan and thoroughly evaluate any identified symbols before making any trades.
Disclaimer:
Please ensure you thoroughly evaluate and qualify any identified symbols according to your individual trade plan before making any trades.
Order Blocks & Breaker Blocks [TradingFinder] Signals + Alerts🔵 Introduction
Order Block and Breaker Block, are powerful tools in technical analysis. By understanding these concepts, traders can enhance their ability to predict potential price reversals and continuations, leading to more effective trading strategies.
Using historical price action, volume analysis, and candlestick patterns, traders can identify key areas where institutional activities influence market movements.
🟣 Demand Order Block and Supply Breaker Block
Demand Order Block : A Demand Order Block is formed when the price succeeds in breaking the previous high pivot.
Supply Breaker Block : A Supply Breaker Block is formed when the price succeeds in breaking the Demand Order Block. As a result, the Order Block changes its role and turns from the role of price support to resistance.
🟣 Supply Order Block and Demand Breaker Block
Supply Order Block : A Supply Order Block is formed when the price succeeds in breaking the previous low pivot.
Demand Breaker Block : A Demand Breaker Block is formed when the price succeeds in breaking the Supply Order Block. As a result, the Order Block changes its role and turns from the role of price resistance to support.
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Order Blocks (Supply and Demand)
Order blocks are zones where the likelihood of a price reversal is higher. In demand zones, buying opportunities arise, while in supply zones, selling opportunities can be explored.
The "Refinement" feature allows you to adjust the width of the order block to fit your trading strategy. There are two modes in the "Order Block Refine" feature: "Aggressive" and "Defensive." The primary difference between these modes is the width of the order block.
For risk-averse traders, the "Defensive" mode is ideal as it offers a lower loss limit and a higher reward-to-risk ratio.
Conversely, for traders who are willing to take more risks, the "Aggressive" mode is more suitable. This mode, with its wider order block width, caters to those who prefer entering trades at higher prices.
🟣 Breaker Blocks (Supply and Demand)
Trading based on breaker blocks is the same as order blocks and the price in these zones is likely to be reversed.
🔵 Setting
🟣 Global Setting

📊 Market Analysis : Watch for the appearance of the zones and the directional arrows for potential reversal signals. Use these signals to identify key market entries and exits.
🔔 Alerts : Enable alerts for bullish and bearish swing failure conditions to capture trading opportunities without constant chart monitoring.
How it works
The indicator calculates the direction and length of each candle to identify swing failure points by comparing current high and low prices with those from the lookback period. A bullish swing failure is detected when the current low is lower than the previous low and the close is higher than the previous high, while a bearish swing failure occurs when the current high is higher than the previous high and the close is lower than the previous low. Upon detection, the script creates zones on the chart to indicate these failure points and manages them by removing invalidated zones based on the user's settings. Visual signals are plotted on the chart as arrows, and alerts are set for these conditions to help traders capture potential entry opportunities efficiently.
Enhance your trading edge with this robust tool designed to spotlight critical swing failure points in the market! 💪📈
Order Block Drawing [TradingFinder]🔵 Introduction
Perhaps one of the most challenging tasks for Pine script developers (especially beginners) is properly drawing order blocks. While utilizing the latest technical analysis methods for "Price Action," beginners heavily rely on accurately plotting "Supply" and "Demand" zones, following concepts like "Smart Money Concept" and "ICT".
However, drawing "Order Blocks" may pose a challenge for developers. Therefore, to minimize bugs, increase accuracy, and speed up the process of coding order blocks, we have released the "Order Block Drawing" library.
Below, you can read more details about how to use this library.
Important :
This library has direct and indirect outputs. The indirect output includes the ranges of order blocks plotted on the chart. However, the direct output is a "Boolean" value that becomes "true" only when the price touches an order block, colloquially termed as "Mitigate." You can use this output for setting up alerts.
🔵 How to Use
First, you can add the library to your code as shown in the example below.
import TFlab/OrderBlockDrawing_TradingFinder/1
🟣Parameters
OBDrawing(OBType, TriggerCondition, DistalPrice, ProximalPrice, Index, OBValidDis, Show, ColorZone) =>
Parameters:
• OBType (string)
• TriggerCondition (bool)
• DistalPrice (float)
• ProximalPrice (float)
• Index (int)
• OBValidDis (int)
• Show (bool)
• ColorZone (color)
OBType : All order blocks are summarized into two types: "Supply" and "Demand." You should input your order block type in this parameter. Enter "Demand" for drawing demand zones and "Supply" for drawing supply zones.
TriggerCondition : Input the condition under which you want the order block to be drawn in this parameter.
DistalPrice : Generally, if each zone is formed by two lines, the farthest line from the price is termed "Distal." This input receives the price of the "Distal" line.
ProximalPrice : Generally, if each zone is formed by two lines, the nearest line to the price is termed "Proximal" line.
Index : This input receives the value of the "bar_index" at the beginning of the order block. You should store the "bar_index" value at the occurrence of the condition for the order block to be drawn and input it here.
OBValidDis : Order blocks continue to be drawn until a new order block is drawn or the order block is "Mitigate." You can specify how many candles after their initiation order blocks should continue. If you want no limitation, enter the number 4998.
Show : You may need to manage whether to display or hide order blocks. When this input is "On", order blocks are displayed, and when it's "Off", order blocks are not displayed.
ColorZone : You can input your preferred color for drawing order blocks.
🔵 Function Outputs
This function has only one output. This output is of type "Boolean" and becomes "true" only when the price touches an order block. Each order block can be touched only once and then loses its validity. You can use this output for alerts.
= Drawing.OBDrawing('Demand', Condition, Distal, Proximal, Index, 4998, true, Color)

We had an Order Block Extreme on the 1-hour timeframe, and currently, we are on the recommended chart for trade entry, which is the 5-minute timeframe. We are patiently waiting to observe a 5-minute ChoCh in the market to enter a buying position since it's an OB Extreme Demand on the 1-hour timeframe. Here, it's crucial and important to focus on the entry timeframe rather than checking what's happening in the higher timeframe. The indicator facilitates this task as it provides us with real-time perspective and visibility of everything happening in the higher timeframe.
Chapter 2: Inducements HTF
It is important and useful to be aware of the various liquidity points across the different timeframes we use; sometimes, a reliable entry point in the Lower Time Frame (LTF) may be surrounded by inducements. Consequently, this point becomes unreliable, and prior to the arrival of this functionality, such anomalies could not be detected, especially when focusing on the market in the LTF. From now on, there will be no more such issues.
Practical Example:
Suppose we identify an Order Block Extreme on the 5M timeframe, indicating a potential entry level. However, when we switch to the 5M timeframe to look for an entry point, we observe an accumulation of inducements around this Order Block coming from a higher timeframe, whether it's M15 or H1. This suggests a potential weakness in the entry point and significant market liquidity, which will act as a trap zone. Before the introduction of this feature, we might have missed this crucial observation, but now we can detect these anomalies and adjust our strategy accordingly.
The only practical way to see theses confluences is to use this Indicator, see the example below

Changes and improvements made for the script to help Traders make better rational decisions in their Trading:
1. Multiple Timeframes:
Integrating multiple timeframes into the analysis provides a multi-dimensional view of the market. Traders can now assess price action across different time horizons simultaneously. This feature allows for a deeper understanding of market dynamics and helps in identifying significant support and resistance levels across various timeframes.
2. Timeframe Labels Inside Zones:
By including timeframe labels within the zones, traders can easily identify the origin of each support or resistance level. This contextual information enhances clarity and facilitates more informed decision-making, especially when navigating through multiple timeframes.
3. Visual Zone Update:
Visual updates on zones enable traders to track changes in support and resistance levels in real-time. This dynamic feature enhances the analytical process by providing immediate insights into evolving market conditions, thereby enabling traders to adapt their strategies accordingly.
4. Zones Hit:
Understanding the frequency and intensity of zone hits offers valuable insights into the strength and relevance of support and resistance levels. Traders can gauge the significance of each zone based on its historical interaction with price, thereby gaining a deeper understanding of market sentiment and potential trading opportunities.
5. Option to Turn off Current Timeframe:
The ability to toggle off the current timeframe streamlines chart analysis by focusing only on the most critical support and resistance zones. This decluttering feature helps traders prioritize key levels, reducing cognitive overload and enhancing decision-making efficiency.
Explanation of Additional Functions:
a. Lookback:
The 'lookback' parameter allows traders to customize the age of support and resistance zones based on their trading style and preferences. By adjusting the lookback setting, traders can choose whether to prioritize recent price action or consider historical data, thus tailoring the analysis to their specific trading strategies.
b. Swinglength:
Swinglength determines the sensitivity of the support and resistance zones. By modifying this parameter, traders can control how aggressively the script identifies pivot points. A higher swinglength value results in smoother, more stable zones, whereas a lower value increases sensitivity, capturing smaller price movements.
c. ZigZag Indicator:
The ZigZag indicator plays a pivotal role in identifying significant price reversals. Its period setting determines the number of price bars considered before confirming a pivot point. Traders can utilize this indicator to identify key turning points in the market, aiding in the identification of robust support and resistance levels.
Impact of Sensitivity on Zones:
Adjusting the sensitivity of the ZigZag indicator directly influences the identification and delineation of support and resistance zones. Higher sensitivity levels result in fewer but more robust zones, capturing significant price movements. Conversely, lower sensitivity levels yield more zones, accommodating smaller price fluctuations but potentially introducing noise into the analysis.
d. S/R Range:
The ability to adjust the width of support and resistance zones allows traders to customize the breadth of key areas on a chart. Choosing a wider range encompasses a broader spectrum of prices, thereby identifying more comprehensive support and resistance levels. This flexibility enables traders to adapt their analysis to different market conditions and trading strategies.

In summary, these enhancements to the support/resistance script provide traders with a powerful toolkit for analyzing market dynamics, identifying key levels, and executing well-informed trading strategies across various timeframes and market conditions.
ZigZag Library [TradingFinder]🔵 Introduction
The "Zig Zag" indicator is an analytical tool that emerges from pricing changes. Essentially, it connects consecutive high and low points in an oscillatory manner. This method helps decipher price changes and can also be useful in identifying traditional patterns.
By sifting through partial price changes, "Zig Zag" can effectively pinpoint price fluctuations within defined time intervals.
🔵 Key Features
1. Drawing the Zig Zag based on Pivot points :
The algorithm is based on pivots that operate consecutively and alternately (switch between high and low swing). In this way, zigzag lines are connected from a swing high to a swing low and from a swing low to a swing high.
Also, with a very low probability, it is possible to have both low pivots and high pivots in one candle. In these cases, the algorithm tries to make the best decision to make the most suitable choice.
You can control what period these decisions are based on through the "PiPe" parameter.
2.Naming and labeling each pivot based on its position as "Higher High" (HH), "Lower Low" (LL), "Higher Low" (HL), and "Lower High" (LH).
Additionally, classic patterns such as HH, LH, LL, and HL can be recognized. All traders analyzing financial markets using classic patterns and Elliot Waves can benefit from the "zigzag" indicator to facilitate their analysis.
" HH ": When the price is higher than the previous peak (Higher High).
" HL ": When the price is higher than the previous low (Higher Low).
" LH ": When the price is lower than the previous peak (Lower High).
" LL ": When the price is lower than the previous low (Lower Low).
🔵 How to Use
First, you can add the library to your code as shown in the example below.
import TFlab/ZigZagLibrary_TradingFinder/1 as ZZ
Function "ZigZag" Parameters :
🟣 Logical Parameters
1. HIGH : You should place the "high" value here. High is a float variable.
2. LOW : You should place the "low" value here. Low is a float variable.
3. BAR_INDEX : You should place the "bar_index" value here. Bar_index is an integer variable.
4. PiPe : The desired pivot period for plotting Zig Zag is placed in this parameter. For example, if you intend to draw a Zig Zag with a Swing Period of 5, you should input 5.
PiPe is an integer variable.
Important :
Apart from the "PiPe" indicator, which is part of the customization capabilities of this indicator, you can create a multi-time frame mode for the indicator using 3 parameters "High", "Low" and "BAR_INDEX". In this way, instead of the data of the current time frame, use the data of other time frames.
Note that it is better to use the current time frame data, because using the multi-time frame mode is associated with challenges that may cause bugs in your code.
🟣 Setting Parameters
5. SHOW_LINE : It's a boolean variable. When true, the Zig Zag line is displayed, and when false, the Zig Zag line display is disabled.
6. STYLE_LINE : In this variable, you can determine the style of the Zig Zag line. You can input one of the 3 options: line.style_solid, line.style_dotted, line.style_dashed. STYLE_LINE is a constant string variable.
7. COLOR_LINE : This variable takes the input of the line color.
8. WIDTH_LINE : The input for this variable is a number from 1 to 3, which is used to adjust the thickness of the line that draws the Zig Zag. WIDTH_LINE is an integer variable.
9. SHOW_LABEL : It's a boolean variable. When true, labels are displayed, and when false, label display is disabled.
10. COLOR_LABEL : The color of the labels is set in this variable.
11. SIZE_LABEL : The size of the labels is set in this variable. You should input one of the following options: size.auto, size.tiny, size.small, size.normal, size.large, size.huge.

Smart Money Setup 01 [TradingFinder]Double Order Blocks Proof🔵 Introduction
The Price Action, styled as the "Smart Money Concept" or "SMC," was introduced by Mr. David J. Crouch in 2000 and is one of the most modern technical styles in the financial world. In financial markets, Smart Money refers to capital controlled by major market players (central banks, funds, etc.), and these traders can accurately predict market trends and achieve the highest profits.
In the "Smart Money" style, various types of "order blocks" can be traded. This indicator uses a type of "order block" originating from "BoS" (Breakout of Structure). The most important feature of this indicator is the confirmation of two order blocks.
🟣 Important
For example, after the first "BoS" and the formation of the first Order Block, if a second "BoS" occurs before touching the price of the first Order Block and the formation of the second Order Block, a trading setup with 2 order blocks is formed, which confirms the dominant market trend.
For a better understanding of this subject, see the explanations in the following two images.
Bullish Setup Details :
Bearish Setup Details :
🔵 How to Use
After adding the indicator to the chart, you should wait for the formation of the trading setup. You can observe different trading positions by changing the "Time Frame" and "Pivot Period." Generally, the higher the "Time Frame" and "Pivot Period," the more valid the formed setup is.

Order Blocks Indicator [TradingFinder] Lightning|CHOCH |OB | BOS🔵 Introduction
In "Price Action," an "Order Block" is essentially an area on the price chart where significant players such as institutional traders have executed their moves by placing noteworthy orders. These points often indicate areas where price either attempts to break through (resistance) or returns when it reaches there (support).
Therefore, when discussing the identification of order blocks, we typically refer to finding points where the price has stalled for a while and has accumulated strength before making a significant move in one direction.
Essentially, order blocks assist traders in understanding where large players with "smart money" have likely placed their bulk orders in the market. Traders use these order blocks as part of their overall analysis to identify probable levels where price may change direction.
This version of the order block indicator is designed for traders, adding many indicators to their charts. The minimal design helps minimize disruptions to user focus.
🔵 Identification of Order Blocks
To identify order blocks, first, a "Level Break" must occur. To identify a "Demand Zone," a "High Level Break" is required, and to identify a "Supply Zone," a "Low Level Break" is needed.
Demand Zone :
Supply Zone :
🔵 "Change of Character" or "Market Shift Structure"
"ChoCh" or "MSS" is the "Break Level" that is contrary to the previous trend. For example, if a "Bearish Level" is established in the market and consecutive "Low Levels" are being broken, the price turns upward, breaking a "High Level." This break is called "ChoCh" or "MSS."
🔵 "Break of Structure"
"Break of Structure," or "BoS" for short, is the "Break Level" in the direction of the current trend. For example, if a "Bullish Level" is established in the market, when the price breaks a "High Level," a "BoS" has occurred.
🔵 Features
🟣 Major Level
This feature helps you easily identify major levels. These levels form when the price breaks another major level.
🟣 Refine Order Block
The "Refinement" feature allows you to adjust the width of the order block based on your strategy. There are two modes, "Aggressive" and "Defensive," in Order Block Refine. The difference between "Aggressive" and "Defensive" lies in the width of the order block. For "Risk Averse" traders, the "Defensive" mode is suitable because it provides smaller stop losses and larger reward-to-risk ratios. For "Risk Taker" traders, the "Aggressive" mode is more suitable. These traders prefer to enter trades at higher prices and this mode, where the width of the order block is greater, is more suitable for this group of individuals.
🔵 How to Use
After adding the indicator to your chart, you will see a visual similar to the image below. Green order blocks are "Demand Zones" and red order blocks are "Supply Zones." The midpoint of the order blocks also indicates 50% of it.
Refine Order Block is defaulted to On and refines the order blocks. If you want the order blocks to remain original, you should set it to Off.
Refine is defaulted to "Defensive" mode. If you want it to be in "Aggressive" mode, you should change its mode through Refine Type.
Displaying "Major Levels" is turned off by default and to display them, you should set "Show High Level" and "Show Low Level" to "Yes." You can use these lines to identify liquidity or determine stop loss and take profit levels.

Trade Safe :)
Demand and Supply Zones Lite [Afnan]Are you looking to level up your trading game and spot potential turning points in the stock market? Introducing the Smart Money Demand and Supply Zones indicator, a powerful tool designed to identify opportunities created by the Smart money.
The Smart Money Demand and Supply Zones indicator is built upon the principles of Rally Base Rally (RBR), Rally Base Drop (RBD), Drop Base Rally (DBR), Drop Base Drop (DBD).
🔍 Key Details 🔍
The "Smart Money" concept refers to large institutional investors and professional traders who possess significant financial resources and expertise. The importance of smart money lies in their influence on market trends and price movements. Their actions and positions often serve as signals for retail traders and investors to make informed decisions.
Formation of Smart Money: Smart money is attracted to areas in the market where they can find favourable risk-to-reward opportunities.
1. Rally Base Rally (RBR) Zones: These zones occur after a rally (upward price movement), followed by a period of consolidation (base formation), and then another rally. Smart money often forms positions here as it suggests a strong uptrend continuation.
2. Rally Base Drop (RBD) Zones: In this case, there is a rally, followed by a base formation, but instead of another rally, the price drops. Smart money may position themselves here in anticipation of a potential trend reversal.
3. Drop Base Rally (DBR) Zones: These zones form when there is a drop in price, followed by a base formation, and then a rally. Smart money may take positions here, expecting a trend reversal to the upside.
4. Drop Base Drop (DBD) Zones: In this scenario, the price drops, then forms a base, but subsequently continues to drop. Smart money might take bearish positions here, anticipating further downward movement.
🚀 Pending Orders from Smart Money Zones: 🚀
When the price approaches these smart money zones, institutional investors often place remaining pending orders to enter the market.
By identifying RBR/DBR zones as potential buying opportunities and RBD/DBD zones as potential selling opportunities on price charts, retail traders can align their trades with smart money activities. Implementing proper risk management and confirming signals enhances the likelihood of successful trades by following the footsteps of institutional investors.

💎 Employing a Top-Down Approach and Multiple Time Frame Analysis: 💎
Let's delve into the concept of adopting a top-down approach combined with multiple time frame analysis in trading scenarios. It is consistently recommended to trade with the trend because, as the saying goes, "the trend is your friend." If you identify a demand zone on the chart but the overall trend is downward, it's crucial to confirm the stock's trend in higher timeframes. Avoid purchasing from the demand zone in such a scenario as you would be going against the trend. To consider buying from the demand zone, ensure that the overall trend is upward by checking the higher timeframe.
Similarly, if the higher timeframe trend is upward but the price is approaching a higher timeframe supply zone, refrain from buying in the lower timeframe. If the price reaches a higher timeframe supply zone, there is a likelihood that the price will face rejection from this zone.
If the price is significantly extended from the EMA 20 on a higher timeframe, for instance, if you plan to trade on a 30-minute timeframe and the price is considerably extended from the daily EMA 20, consider trading from zones that are closer to the daily EMA 20. When the price is extended from the higher timeframe EMA 20, it implies that the price is expensive, and there may be a tendency for it to return to the EMA 20. Therefore, it is advisable to trade from zones that are closer to the higher timeframe EMA 20 and avoid zones that are extended from the higher timeframe EMA 20.
For instance, imagine you're considering purchasing a stock that has reached a demand zone known as Rally Base Rally (RBR). If you identify a corresponding demand zone in a higher time frame located at the same position, and concurrently observe that the intermediate time frame indicates an upward trend, your potential for a successful trade is enhanced.
Conversely, if you spot a buying zone in a lower time frame, but notice a supply zone in the higher time frame at that exact position, the likelihood of a profitable trade decreases significantly. In such cases, it's prudent to steer clear of the lower time frame zone. This emphasizes the critical significance of employing a top-down approach or conducting a multiple time frame analysis.
Note: By Doing top down approach you can easily follow the footprints of smart money in the stock market or any other market by using this indicator and make well-informed trading decisions.
Remember, don't make decisions based only on one time frame. Check the overall trend of the stock and look at buying and selling points on bigger time scales. If you only use one time scale, your chances of making successful trades will be lower.
