Support & Resistance Zones [HexaTrades]
This indicator automatically finds the price levels where the market has turned around before the places where buyers stepped in (support) and where sellers took over (resistance) and draws them as clean rectangular zones on your chart.
Instead of a thin line, each level is drawn as a zone with real thickness, because support and resistance are never one exact price; they are areas where price reacts. The zones update live, extend forward as long as they are valid, and turn into light "ghost" boxes once price finally breaks through them, so you always keep the full picture of the market's history.
Bitcoin 4h: the indicator marking support and resistance zones
How it works
- Finds swing points. A swing high is a candle whose high is higher than the 10 candles on each side of it (the "Swing Length" setting). A swing low is the same idea upside down. These are the exact spots where the market turned.
- Builds a zone from the candle. The zone covers the candle's wick from the extreme tip to the candle body. That wick is where orders actually pushed price back, so it becomes the zone.
- Keeps zone size sensible. Very small wicks get padded to a minimum height, and no zone can grow taller than a maximum height (both measured in ATR, so they adapt automatically to each market's volatility).
- Merges duplicate levels. If a new swing forms at a level that already has a zone, the two are combined into one box instead of stacking clutter on your chart.
- Watches for breaks. When a candle closes beyond a zone, the zone is "broken." what happens next is up to you (see below).
What happens after a zone breaks?
The indicator provides three different zone-management options.
Keep As Past Zone: The broken zone stops extending and remains visible as a faded historical zone. This makes it easier to review how price behaved around previous levels.
Flip Support/Resistance: A broken resistance zone becomes support, while a broken support zone becomes resistance.
This is useful for studying the common market concept of role reversal, where old resistance may act as new support and old support may act as new resistance.
Delete Zone: The zone is completely removed after it breaks. This option is useful for traders who prefer a cleaner chart showing only active zones.
Optional volume filter:
Volume-Confirmed Zones Only can be enabled to filter out lower-volume swing points.
When enabled, the volume of the swing candle must be higher than: Average Volume × Volume Multiplier
For example, with a Volume Multiplier of 1.2, the swing candle’s volume must be greater than 120% of its average volume.
The volume filter is automatically ignored when volume data is unavailable. Volume quality can vary between markets, exchanges and brokers.
Indicator settings
- Swing Length: Controls how significant a swing must be. Lower values create more zones, while higher values create fewer but potentially more significant zones.
- Maximum Zones: Limits the number of active zones displayed. When the limit is exceeded, the oldest active zone is removed.
- ATR Length: Sets the calculation period used to measure volatility.
- Minimum Zone Height: Sets the minimum zone thickness as a multiple of ATR.
- Maximum Zone Height: Prevents zones from becoming excessively wide.
- Merge Overlapping Zones: Combines overlapping or nearby active zones.
- Merge Distance: Controls the ATR-based distance used when deciding whether zones should be merged.
- Maximum Past Zones: Limits how many broken historical zones remain on the chart.
- Past Zone Transparency: Controls how clearly broken zones are displayed.
Alerts
- Built-in alerts
- Zone Touched — price entered a support or resistance zone.
- Resistance Broken — a candle broke above a resistance zone.
- Support Broken — a candle broke a support zone below.
- Set them up from PulseWire's alert dialog: Create Alert → Condition → S/R Zones.
How to use it in trading
🔶Bounce trades: when price falls into a support zone and prints a rejection candle, that's a long setup with a stop just below the zone.
A blue support zone represents an area where buyers previously entered the market.
When price returns to support:
- Wait for price to enter or test the zone.
- Look for evidence that buyers are responding.
- Consider an entry only after confirmation.
- Place the stop beyond the opposite side of the zone, with an appropriate buffer.
- Use the next resistance zone as a possible target.
Possible bullish confirmation includes:
- A candle rejecting the lower part of the zone.
- A long lower wick followed by a bullish close.
- A bullish engulfing candle.
- Price closing back above the support zone.
- Increasing volume during the reaction.
- A higher low forming near the zone.
A support touch by itself is not a long signal. Price can move directly through the zone, especially during a strong downtrend.
Example image below:
🔶Rejection from resistance
A pink resistance zone represents an area where sellers previously entered the market.
When price reaches resistance:
- Wait for price to test the zone.
- Look for signs of selling pressure.
- Consider an entry only after bearish confirmation.
- Place the stop beyond the upper edge of the zone, with a suitable buffer.
- Use the next support zone below as a possible target.
Possible bearish confirmation includes:
- A long upper wick inside the resistance zone.
- A bearish engulfing candle.
- Price entering the zone and closing back below it.
- A lower high forming near resistance.
- Increasing selling volume during the rejection.
A resistance touch alone is not a short signal. Strong bullish momentum can break through resistance without producing a meaningful reversal.
Example image:
🔶Trading a breakout
A breakout occurs when price moves beyond an active zone.
- A break above resistance may indicate increasing bullish strength.
- A break below support may indicate increasing bearish strength.
For more conservative confirmation, select Close under Break Confirmation. In this mode, a resistance zone breaks only after a candle closes above it, while a support zone breaks only after a candle closes below it.
The Wick option reacts as soon as price trades beyond the zone. It responds faster but is more sensitive to temporary spikes and false breakouts.
Before considering a breakout trade, traders may look for:
- A strong candle closing beyond the zone.
- A candle body that closes clearly outside the zone.
- Higher-than-average volume.
- Momentum in the breakout direction.
- Alignment with the broader market trend.
- A successful retest of the broken zone.
🔶Trading a role reversal
Support and resistance can sometimes exchange roles after a breakout.
-Broken resistance may later act as support.
- Broken support may later act as resistance.
Select Flip Support/Resistance under the When Broken setting to display this behaviour automatically.
For example, after price closes above a pink resistance zone, the indicator converts that area into a blue support zone. If price later returns to it, traders can watch for a bullish reaction.
Similarly, when price breaks below blue support, the indicator converts the zone into pink resistance. A later retest may provide an area to watch for bearish confirmation.
Role reversal is a commonly observed price-action concept, but it does not occur successfully after every breakout. Wait for confirmation instead of entering only because price has returned to a flipped zone.
🔶Using zones for targets and stops
Zones can also help organise trade management.
For a long setup:
- A stop may be placed below the support zone.
- The next resistance zone may be used as an initial target.
- A higher resistance zone may be considered as a secondary target if momentum remains strong.
For a short setup:
- A stop may be placed above the resistance zone.
- The next support zone may be used as an initial target.
- A lower support zone may be considered as a secondary target.
Avoid placing the stop exactly on the edge of a zone. Price may briefly move beyond the boundary before reacting. The appropriate buffer depends on the symbol, timeframe, volatility and the trader’s risk plan.
Always calculate the potential risk and reward before entering a trade. A visible zone does not automatically make a setup worth taking.
🔶 Using multiple timeframes
Higher-timeframe zones can provide broader market context, while lower timeframes can help refine entries.
A simple process is:
- Identify important support and resistance on a higher timeframe.
- Determine whether the broader structure is bullish, bearish or ranging.
- Move to the preferred trading timeframe.
- Wait for price to reach a relevant zone.
- Use candle structure, volume or momentum for confirmation.
Higher timeframes generally produce fewer but more widely watched zones. Lower timeframes produce more zones and may contain more market noise.
Support and Resistance Zones help traders identify and manage important price areas with less chart clutter. Its volatility-based sizing, zone merging, break confirmation, role reversal, and alerts make it suitable for different markets and timeframes. Use the zones as areas to watch—not automatic trade signals and always combine them with price confirmation, broader market structure and proper risk management.

Order Block Mitigation Strategy [algo_aakash]Overview
Order Block Mitigation Strategy identifies bullish and bearish order blocks from confirmed structure breaks and tracks the exact degree to which each zone has been consumed by subsequent price action. Rather than treating every order block as equally tradable, the script continuously measures how deep into a zone price has traveled and only signals reactions occurring at zones that are still statistically fresh, while allowing the trader to see heavily used zones visibly fade on the chart.
Problem Statement
Most order block tools draw a zone once and leave it static until price closes through it entirely. This binary treatment ignores a critical distinction: a zone that has been wicked into by 10% of its range carries very different odds than one that has already been penetrated 70% of the way through. Traders using static zones frequently take reaction entries at institutional levels that have already been substantially absorbed, with no way to quantify how much of the zone's liquidity remains untouched.
Methodology
Structure is established using confirmed swing pivots. A Break of Structure is only confirmed on a bar close that clears the swing level by a minimum ATR-based buffer, filtering marginal breaks. Once a break is confirmed, the script scans backward from the broken pivot for the last opposite-colored candle within a fixed window, since this candle (not the pivot bar itself) is the true origin of the displacement leg. That candle's high-low range becomes the order block, provided its range also exceeds a minimum ATR multiple.
From the moment a zone is created, the script tracks the deepest price extreme that has traded into it on every confirmed bar. This extreme can only advance in the direction of consumption, never retreat, and from it a Mitigation Percentage is calculated as the proportion of the zone's height that has been traded through. This percentage is classified into one of four bands (Fresh, Light, Moderate, Heavy) using user-defined thresholds, and a fifth state (Invalidated) removes the zone once the percentage crosses a final threshold.
The Mitigation Percentage also drives the zone's fill transparency directly, on a continuous interpolation between a fresh-zone opacity and a near-invalid opacity. A zone at 10% mitigation renders visibly more solid than one at 55%, and the fade is smooth rather than stepped between discrete color states. This means zone health can be read from the chart at a glance without a label or panel.
Entry signals are only evaluated at zones whose live Mitigation Percentage has not yet exceeded a separate, user-defined entry cap. When price trades into a qualifying zone, the closed candle is checked against a selectable rejection pattern (a dominant wick, an engulfing candle, a strong directional close, or a combination of wick and close). Optional filters can additionally require the candle to close beyond the zone's midpoint, require the candle's range to exceed an ATR multiple, and require volume above its rolling average. Each signal is issued once per zone's lifecycle.
Every signal carries a composite confidence score built from five equally weighted, disclosed factors: the ATR-normalized strength of the structure break that created the zone, the ATR-normalized size of the origin candle, the zone's freshness at the moment of the signal (the inverse of its mitigation percentage), the expansion of ATR since the zone was formed, and the ATR-normalized distance price traveled from the origin candle to the structure break. The score is displayed next to the signal marker.
Signal Workflow
Step 1: A swing high or low is confirmed once the required number of bars exist on both sides.
Step 2: A close beyond that swing level by the minimum ATR buffer confirms a Break of Structure.
Step 3: The script scans backward from the broken pivot for the last opposite-colored candle and builds the order block from its full range, provided the candle passes the minimum impulse size filter.
Step 4: On every subsequent confirmed bar, the zone's deepest intrusion is ratcheted forward and the Mitigation Percentage is recalculated, driving both the quality band and the continuous fade.
Step 5: When price re-enters a zone below the entry mitigation cap and a rejection pattern confirms on the closed candle, along with any enabled midpoint, ATR-expansion, and volume filters, a scored entry signal is generated.
Why This Indicator Is Different
Zone consumption is tracked as a continuous, monotonically increasing percentage rather than a binary tested or mitigated flag, so the trader always knows how much of a zone's original range remains untouched.
Fill transparency is interpolated in real time directly from that percentage, making zone health visible without any label, table, or dashboard.
The order block's origin candle is located by scanning back from the structure break for the true opposite-colored displacement candle, rather than defaulting to the pivot candle itself.
Entry signals are gated by a separate, independently configurable mitigation cap, so a trader can permit signals only at zones that remain within a defined freshness range.
Every signal discloses a five-factor confidence score built from break displacement, origin candle size, live freshness, ATR expansion since formation, and travel distance, so the score can be audited rather than trusted blindly.

Practical Usage
Lower the Max Mitigation % Allowed for Entry to restrict signals to only the freshest zones, or raise it to also capture reaction trades at moderately used levels.
Watch the continuous fade of a zone as a visual proxy for its remaining reliability without needing to check a percentage value directly.
Use the disclosed confidence score to compare two simultaneous signals rather than treating every marker as equally weighted.
Switch Zone Extension to Until New BOS on trending instruments to stop a zone from extending once the opposing side of structure has broken.
Combine the ATR expansion and volume filters on the Entries tab when trading instruments where displacement quality varies significantly by session.
Limitations
Swing pivot confirmation introduces a lag equal to the pivot length setting, meaning a structure break can only be evaluated after that many bars have closed beyond the pivot.
The origin candle scan is bounded by a fixed lookback window, so on unusually extended displacement legs the true origin candle may fall outside that window and no zone will be created.
The confidence score is a disclosed, equally weighted composite of five factors and is not a probability of trade success.
Order blocks and their mitigation state are a price-action framework, not a standalone trading system, and should be evaluated alongside broader market context.
Notes
All detection, structure break, mitigation state, and entry logic execute strictly on confirmed bars, so no drawing, classification, or alert changes retroactively once printed.
Zone counts per direction are capped, with the oldest zone removed first once the limit is reached, keeping drawing object usage bounded regardless of session length.
alert() calls are used for every event category so a single "Any alert() function call" condition in the PulseWire alert dialog captures all messages from this script.

Bullish Supply to Demand Flip & Continuation ZonesBULLISH SUPPLY→DEMAND FLIP & CONTINUATION ZONES
This indicator identifies price areas where former supply may become demand. Instead of marking every pivot or zone touch, it looks for complete market structures supported by price action, volume, trend context, separation, and confirmed buyer response.
The indicator includes three independent detection paths:
1. CLASSIC SUPPLY-TO-DEMAND FLIP
The indicator first finds a qualified supply rejection and tracks the seller-controlled decline that follows it.
A potential flip requires:
• A confirmed supply pivot with meaningful rejection
• Sufficient upper wick, bearish departure, and relative volume
• A completed seller-controlled decline terminating at confirmed demand
• A strong breakout above the supply area
• Acceptance above supply, normally through consecutive closes
• At least one complete candle trading above the zone before a later return
The original supply zone remains hidden until price returns to it. The first touch reveals the area, but a touch alone does not produce an S→D arrow.
An S→D arrow appears only when a confirmed demand pivot forms inside the original supply zone and passes the wick, reaction, volume, and separation requirements.
This distinction helps separate:
• Price merely returning to a level
• Buyers actually defending former supply as demand
2. BULLISH CONTINUATION BASES
The continuation-base engine detects compact, high-volume shelves that form during an existing bullish movement.
A qualifying base requires:
• A bullish impulse before the base
• A compact multi-bar price shelf
• Consistent participation across the base
• Controlled price spread and limited rollover
• Bullish EMA and VWAP alignment
• A decisive breakout with sufficient body, volume, and closing strength
After price separates above the base and later returns, the indicator displays the original base area and places a BASE arrow beneath the retest candle.
This path is designed for continuation structures that do not begin as traditional supply-rejection pivots.
3. PROGRESSIVE SUPPLY TAKEOVER
Some supply areas are not broken through a clean breakout followed by a later retest. Buyers may instead take control progressively from the lower boundary toward the upper boundary.
The progressive-takeover path looks for:
• Demand appearing near the lower edge of supply
• A close back inside or above the lower boundary
• Preservation of the demand low
• Consecutive accepted closes above the supply top
• Renewed volume during upper-edge acceptance
When confirmed, the original supply area becomes the active demand zone.
The S→D arrow is placed on the candle where the defended demand low originally formed, although confirmation occurs later.
UNDERSTANDING THE DISPLAY
• Green shaded area — Former supply or a continuation base now being monitored as demand
• Red shaded structure — The original supply and seller-control formation
• Aqua shaded structure — The original bullish continuation base
• S→D arrow — Confirmed demand inside a flipped supply zone
• BASE arrow — Retest of a qualified bullish continuation base
• Red INVALID marker — A previously retested demand zone was later broken
The indicator intentionally avoids large external callout labels so price action remains visible.
CONFIRMATION TIMING
The indicator uses confirmed bars and confirmed pivots by default.
Pivot-based demand cannot be known on the support candle itself because later bars are required to confirm that the low held.
For this reason, an S→D arrow may be placed historically on the actual demand candle several bars after that candle occurred.
This keeps the historical chart honest:
• The marker identifies where demand formed
• The signal becomes available only when the required confirmation bars have completed
Intrabar confirmation can be enabled or adjusted through the settings, but confirmed-bar operation is recommended.
ZONE INVALIDATION
Zones can be invalidated using either:
• Close — Price must close beneath the buffered zone boundary
• Wick — A qualifying wick beneath the boundary can invalidate the zone
A small ATR-based buffer can be applied to prevent insignificant penetrations from immediately invalidating a structure.
A valid historical retest is not erased when the zone later fails. The area is frozen at the failure point, and an INVALID marker records the later break.
ALERTS
The indicator supports:
• A combined Bullish demand-zone event alert condition
• Dynamic alerts containing the symbol, timeframe, event type, and zone prices
To receive detailed dynamic messages, create a PulseWire alert using:
Any alert() function call
Possible events include:
• Supply-flip confirmation
• Continuation-base confirmation
• Progressive supply takeover
• Retest start
• Confirmed S→D support
• Additional zone re-entry
• Later zone invalidation
RECOMMENDED USE
The indicator was designed primarily for intraday equity charts, especially one-minute charts where volume, price acceptance, and short-term market structure are clearly visible.
It is best used alongside:
• Broader trend and market context
• Liquidity and relative-volume analysis
• Nearby resistance and support
• Risk management and clearly defined invalidation levels
Settings may require adjustment for other chart timeframes, asset classes, or volatility conditions.
IMPORTANT NOTES
This indicator is selective by design. A visually interesting level may remain hidden when the complete structural requirements are not satisfied.
The indicator does not predict that every demand zone will hold. It identifies evidence that buyers defended a qualified structure at the time of confirmation.
Any zone can fail later.

6. Use Premium / Discount zones to decide whether you are buying in discount or selling in premium.
---
### Tips & Best Practices
- Start with fewer features turned on. Too many lines/boxes can clutter the chart.
- Use the **Present** mode in SMC if you only want the most recent structure (cleaner look).
- The HTF PO3 candles are drawn to the **right** of the current bar — they are projections, not historical candles.
- ORB targets are measured moves based on the Opening Range width. Adjust the % to match the instrument’s typical volatility.
- The session MA only works properly on intraday timeframes (it resets at the start of the Opening Range).

### Alerts Available
All original SMC alerts are included:
- Internal / Swing BOS & CHoCH (bullish & bearish)
- Order Block breakouts
- Equal Highs / Lows
- Fair Value Gaps

Day Trade Setup - CRT Session Range ModelDay Trade Setup - CRT Session Range Model
Day Trade Setup - CRT Session Range Model is a session-based market framework designed to identify important intraday reference ranges and combine them with liquidity sweeps, M15 imbalance gaps, market structure levels, and supply or demand zones.
The script is designed to help traders organize intraday price action around selected H1 session ranges. Instead of displaying isolated signals, it creates a structured map of the current setup, including the range high, range low, 50% midpoint, nearby liquidity events, and relevant M15 reference areas.
Core Concept
The indicator analyses predefined H1 trading periods and selects the most significant candle within each session window using a weighted candle score.
The score considers:
Candle body size
Upper and lower wick size
User-defined body weighting
User-defined wick weighting
The selected candle becomes the active session range. Its high, low, and 50% midpoint are then projected across the chart as reference levels.
The most recent valid session setup automatically becomes the active model.
Session Range Models
The indicator supports three session groups:
Dawn Range
The Dawn Range evaluates the H1 candles formed between 1:00 AM and 5:00 AM.
The script compares the five candles and selects the candle with the highest weighted body-and-wick score as the active range.
Morning Range
The Morning Range compares the 8:00 AM and 9:00 AM H1 candles.
The candle with the stronger weighted score becomes the active range.
Evening Range
The Evening Range compares the 8:00 PM and 9:00 PM H1 candles.
The stronger candle is selected as the active range.
Users can display one session model individually or enable all available sessions.
Active Range Display
When a new setup is selected, the indicator displays:
Session Range High
Session Range Low
50% midpoint
Session and hour label
Continuously extending reference lines
The 50% level helps divide the selected range into upper and lower halves, providing a visual reference for premium and discount areas within the setup.
The script replaces the previous active range when a newer valid session setup is confirmed.
Liquidity Sweep Detection
The indicator includes an optional liquidity sweep module that monitors price interaction with the active range high and low.
A potential bearish liquidity sweep may be identified when price:
Trades above the active range high
Returns and closes below the range high
Meets the selected volatility, body, and upper-wick requirements
A potential bullish liquidity sweep may be identified when price:
Trades below the active range low
Returns and closes above the range low
Meets the selected volatility, body, and lower-wick requirements
The liquidity sweep filter also includes a cooldown period to reduce repeated labels appearing within a short number of bars.
These markers represent potential liquidity-rejection events and are not automatic entry signals.
M15 Imbalance Gap
The script can locate a recent bullish or bearish M15 imbalance gap that formed before the active session setup.
The imbalance module:
Searches the latest M15 gaps
Considers only gaps formed before the active setup
Supports bullish, bearish, or both gap types
Filters gaps using ATR-based minimum size
Can restrict results to gaps near the session range
Locks the selected gap when a new setup appears
Displays the gap boundaries and midpoint
Only a qualifying gap whose midpoint is outside the active session range is displayed.
This helps traders identify nearby price imbalances that may act as reaction areas or potential liquidity objectives.
M15 Structure Levels
The indicator identifies previously confirmed M15 swing highs and swing lows using pivot-based market structure.
For each new session setup, the script searches for:
A confirmed structure high above the session range
A confirmed structure low below the session range
Only structure points that formed before the active setup are considered.
The selected levels are extended across the chart and labelled as:
STRUCT-HIGH
STRUCT-LOW
These levels may be used as external liquidity references, breakout levels, or potential price objectives.
M15 Supply and Demand Zones
The indicator also includes a simplified M15 supply and demand zone module.
A potential demand zone is identified from a bearish candle followed by a bullish displacement above that candle’s high.
A potential supply zone is identified from a bullish candle followed by a bearish displacement below that candle’s low.
The script applies body-strength and optional ATR range filters before accepting a zone.
For a bullish session setup, the script searches for a qualifying demand zone positioned above the session range.
For a bearish session setup, the script searches for a qualifying supply zone positioned below the session range.
Only zones formed before the active setup are considered.
The selected zone is displayed with:
Zone boundaries
50% midpoint
M15 zone label
Automatic right-side extension
Multi-Timeframe Structure
The model combines information from multiple timeframes:
H1 for session-range selection
M15 for imbalance gaps
M15 for structure highs and lows
M15 for supply and demand zones
Current chart timeframe for liquidity-sweep confirmation and display
The M15 modules are intended for charts between 1 minute and 15 minutes. Their drawings are hidden automatically on timeframes above 15 minutes.
Alerts
The indicator includes alerts for:
A newly selected session setup
A qualifying M15 structure high
A qualifying M15 structure low
A selected demand zone
A selected supply zone
The new setup alert identifies the symbol, selected model, and setup hour.
Suggested Workflow
A possible workflow is:
Identify the active H1 session range.
Observe whether price is trading above or below the 50% midpoint.
Wait for price to interact with the session high or low.
Look for a qualifying liquidity sweep.
Review nearby M15 imbalance gaps.
Check external M15 structure levels.
Use the selected supply or demand zone as additional context.
Apply independent entry confirmation and risk management.
The script is intended to organize market context. It does not automatically calculate an entry price, Stop Loss, Take Profit, position size, or trade outcome.
Customization
Users can adjust:
Light or dark visual theme
Active session model
Candle body and wick weighting
Line width and label size
Range projection length
Liquidity-sweep quality filters
Sweep cooldown period
Gap direction and ATR filter
Gap proximity to the setup
Structure pivot length
Supply and demand zone strength
Zone distance from the setup
These settings allow the model to be adapted to different symbols, volatility conditions, and trading styles.
Limitations
The session model uses fixed H1 time windows based on the symbol’s exchange or chart time context. Users should verify that the displayed hours match their intended trading session.
Pivot-based structure levels require candles on both sides of the pivot before confirmation. As a result, structure levels appear after the turning point has already formed.
Liquidity sweeps, imbalance gaps, and supply or demand zones do not guarantee a price reversal or continuation.
The script displays selected technical reference areas only. It does not account for spread, commission, slippage, economic news, liquidity conditions, or broker execution.
Because the script uses multiple timeframe calculations, some elements may update only after the relevant H1 or M15 candle has completed.

Supply and Demand Zones | Flux ChartsGENERAL OVERVIEW
Supply and Demand Zones indicator uses a simple but effective mechanism to find the most useful supply and demand zones on any chart. Most tools draw every zone they can find and leave the trader to sort through the clutter. This indicator does the opposite: it watches how price actually behaves at each zone and keeps only the levels that have earned attention.
The mechanism is straightforward. Each zone is built from a confirmed price swing, and from that moment it is tracked as a living object. Every time price returns, the indicator records what happened — a clean rejection (retest), a failed push-through that snaps back (also a retest), or a decisive break. From that record it computes one honest number, Held: the share of retests where the zone successfully pushed price away. A zone that has held four of five tests is immediately separated from one that keeps breaking.
That same track record then drives what you see. Instead of showing every zone, the indicator surfaces a small set of the most useful ones — ranked by how reliably they have held, how often they have been tested, and how close they are to current price. The result is a clean chart focused on the zones that have actually proven themselves, rather than a wall of boxes you have to filter by eye.
WHAT IS THE THEORY BEHIND THE INDICATOR?
Supply and demand trading is built on a simple idea: where price reversed sharply once, it often reacts again, because unfilled orders and trapped traders remain at that level. The problem is that not every zone is equal. Some levels are respected again and again; others break the first time they are tested. Most supply and demand tools draw every zone the same way and leave the trader to guess which ones still matter.
This indicator takes the position that a zone's history is more informative than its existence. A level that has been tested five times and held four of them is telling you something a fresh, untested level cannot. So instead of treating zones as static boxes, the indicator watches every interaction — bounces, failed breakouts, and clean breaks — and turns that record into a measurable hold rate. A zone earns its place on your chart by performing, not just by existing.
FEATURES
Finds the most useful zones — instead of drawing every zone, it tracks how each one behaves and surfaces only the levels that have proven themselves
Automatic zone detection — supply and demand zones are built from confirmed price swings, with boundaries sized by the average wick so each box covers the real reaction area
Per-zone track record — every zone carries its own data: how many times it has been retested, how many times it has broken, and how reliably it has held
Held statistic — each zone shows the share of its retests that successfully held, turning its history into one honest reliability number you can read at a glance
Retest tracking — every test of a zone is recorded and marked on the chart, including failed breakouts that snap back into the zone
Breakout & flip tracking — clean breaks are recorded, and the zone flips from supply to demand (or vice-versa) while keeping its full history
Strongest / Nearest ranking — shows the most useful zones, ranked by how reliably they have held, how often they have been tested, and how close they are to price
Clear, data-rich visuals — gradient zone fills, glowing retest markers, colour-coded flip segments, and a per-zone stats label that displays its retests, breakouts, and Held % right beside it
Clean-chart controls — minimum spacing hides near-duplicate zones, and a smooth fade-out dims zones as they drop off the list
Four alerts — retests and breakouts, on both supply and demand
ZONE DETECTION AND BOUNDARIES
What is a zone?
A zone is a price area drawn around a recent swing high or swing low. A swing high becomes a supply zone (an area sellers defended); a swing low becomes a demand zone (an area buyers defended). New zones are only created when they don't overlap an existing one, so the chart never stacks duplicate boxes on the same level.
Why does it matter?
Swings are where the market actually changed its mind, which makes them the most natural place to expect a future reaction. Building zones only from confirmed swings — and skipping overlaps — keeps the set of zones meaningful instead of cluttered. Clean, non-overlapping detection is the foundation everything else builds on: the track record and ranking are only as useful as the zones they start from.
How is it detected and calculated?
The indicator waits for a swing to confirm using the Swing Period: a high or low only counts once that many bars have printed on both sides of it. The zone's outer edge sits at the swing's extreme (the high for supply, the low for demand). The inner edge is set using the average wick of the candles around the swing, so the zone covers the real reaction area rather than a single thin line. Because a swing needs bars on both sides to confirm, each zone appears a fixed number of bars after the swing itself — a normal, non-repainting delay rather than a level that appears and disappears.
Settings
Swing Period — how many bars must confirm a swing on each side before it forms a zone. Higher = fewer, more significant zones; lower = more zones that react faster to price. Default 30.
Lookback — how far back the indicator looks for zones, in bars. Higher keeps older zones on the chart; lower focuses on recent price action. Default 2000.
RETESTS AND FAILED BREAKOUTS
What is a retest?
A retest is when price returns to a zone, touches it, and is rejected — closing back out on the same side it came from. This is the classic supply/demand reaction: price revisits the area and the zone pushes it away. A failed breakout — price pushing through the zone but then closing back inside it — is also counted as a retest, because the zone ultimately won.
Why does it matter?
Retests are the evidence that a zone is still active. A level that keeps rejecting price is one the market is clearly watching. Counting failed breakouts as retests is important too: a level that traps breakout traders and reclaims is often the strongest kind of level, and ignoring those events would understate a zone's true strength.
How is it detected and calculated?
On each closed bar, a zone is checked for a reaction: for a supply zone, price reaching into the zone but closing back below it counts as a retest; for a demand zone, reaching in but closing back above. To avoid over-counting when price lingers at a level, a Retest Cooldown requires a minimum number of bars between two counted retests on the same zone. Separately, if price closes clean through a zone and then closes back inside it on the next resolution, that failed breakout is recorded as a retest as well. All events are evaluated only on confirmed (closed) bars, so nothing is counted on an unfinished candle.
Settings
Retest Cooldown — waits this many bars before counting another test of the same zone, so price lingering at a level isn't counted as many separate retests. Default 3.
Retests (toggle + marker) — show or hide retest markers and choose their shape (Circle, Triangle, Cross, Diamond).
BREAKOUTS AND ZONE FLIPS
What is a breakout?
A breakout is when price closes decisively through a zone and keeps going, rather than being rejected. When a zone breaks, it flips: a broken supply zone becomes a demand zone, and a broken demand zone becomes a supply zone — the same idea as old resistance becoming new support. Crucially, the zone keeps its history through the flip; it doesn't start over.
Why does it matter?
A clean break is the opposite of a hold, and tracking it is what makes the Held statistic meaningful. The flip behaviour also reflects how these levels really work in practice — a level that breaks rarely disappears; it changes role. Keeping each zone's full history across flips means a level that has been a battleground through several cycles is shown as exactly that.
How is it detected and calculated?
When price first closes through a zone, the zone enters a pending state. The very next resolution decides what happened: if price closes through again, it is confirmed as a breakout and the zone flips its side; if price instead closes back inside, it is recorded as a failed breakout (a retest). This two-step confirmation avoids calling a breakout on a single bar that immediately reverses. Each flip also starts a new coloured time segment, so the zone's box visually records when it was supply and when it was demand across its life.
Settings
Breakouts (toggle + marker) — show or hide breakout markers and choose their shape. Off by default to keep the chart clean.
THE HELD STATISTIC
What is Held?
Held is the heart of the indicator. It answers a simple question: when price comes back to this zone, how often does the zone actually hold? It is shown on each zone's stats label as a count and a percentage, for example "Held: 4 (80%)" — meaning four of the zone's five retests successfully held.
Why does it matter?
This is the number that separates a level worth trading from one that just happens to be on the chart. A high Held % means the zone has repeatedly done its job; a low one warns you the level is leaky. Because it is measured from the zone's own history rather than assumed, it gives you an honest, at-a-glance read on reliability.
How is it detected and calculated?
After each retest, the indicator looks forward over the Hold Window — a set number of candles — and checks whether the zone was broken during that window. If the zone survived the window without a breakout, that retest counts as a hold. Only retests old enough to have a full window behind them are judged, so a very recent retest doesn't distort the number before its outcome is known. Held is then the count of successful holds, shown alongside its percentage of all retests.
Settings
Hold Window — after a retest, the zone must avoid a breakout for this many candles to count as a successful hold. Drives the Held stat and the Strongest ranking. Default 10.
STRONGEST AND NEAREST RANKING
What is the ranking?
Rather than crowd the chart with every zone it finds, the indicator shows a limited number per side and chooses which ones using one of two modes. Nearest simply shows the zones closest to current price. Strongest shows the zones that have most reliably held, weighted by how often they've been tested and how close they are to price.
Why does it matter?
Most charts have far more historical zones than are useful at once. Nearest is best when you care about the levels price is about to interact with regardless of their record. Strongest is best when you want the chart to surface proven levels — the ones that have repeatedly held — so your attention goes to the areas with the best track record.
How is it detected and calculated?
The Strongest score combines three things. Reliability is the zone's hold rate, but smoothed so a zone tested only once can't look perfect — its record is trusted more as it accumulates more tests. Evidence rewards zones that have been tested more often, with diminishing returns so one ancient zone doesn't dominate forever. Proximity favours zones closer to price. A small bonus is given to zones already on screen so the displayed list stays steady instead of swapping every bar. Nearest mode, by contrast, simply ranks by distance to price.
Settings
Rank By — Strongest (most reliable, weighted by tests and proximity) or Nearest (closest to price). Default Strongest.
Show — how many supply and how many demand zones to show at once; each side is counted separately. Default 5.
ZONE SPACING AND FADE-OUT
What are spacing and fade-out?
Two features keep the chart readable. Minimum spacing hides a zone that sits too close to one already shown, so you don't get several near-identical boxes stacked together. Fade-out smoothly dims a zone as it drops off the visible list, instead of having it vanish abruptly.
Why does it matter?
A clean chart is easier to act on. Spacing prevents visual clutter at congested levels, and the fade-out makes it obvious when a zone is no longer among the top picks without the chart jumping around distractingly.
How is it detected and calculated?
When selecting which zones to show, the indicator skips any candidate sitting within the Min Zone Spacing distance (a percentage of price) of a zone already chosen. When a previously shown zone is no longer selected, it is moved to a fade list and dimmed over a fixed number of bars before being removed. Drawing is also budgeted internally so the gradient zone fills always stay within the platform's object limits.
Settings
Min Zone Spacing (%) — hides zones sitting too close to one already shown, to keep the chart clean. Set to 0 to show every zone. Default 0.1%.
Supply / Demand colours — the colours used for supply and demand zones, their gradient fills, and their markers.
ALERTS
What alerts are available?
Bullish Retest — price bounced from a demand zone.
Bearish Retest — price rejected from a supply zone.
Bullish Breakout — price broke above a supply zone.
Bearish Breakout — price broke below a demand zone.
When do they fire?
Each alert fires on a confirmed bar at the moment the matching event is recorded, so you are notified of bounces and breaks as they are confirmed rather than on an unfinished candle.
IMPORTANT NOTES
All retests, breakouts and flips are evaluated only on closed (confirmed) bars, so events are not counted on an in-progress candle.
A breakout requires price to close through a zone and then confirm on the next resolution. A single bar that closes through and immediately closes back in is recorded as a retest (failed breakout), not a breakout.
Held only judges retests that have a full Hold Window of bars behind them, so the most recent retest may not yet be reflected in the Held count until its outcome is known.
When a zone breaks it flips side and keeps its full history, so a single long-lived zone can show interactions from several supply/demand cycles.
The number of zones shown is limited per side by the Show setting; other valid zones continue to be tracked in the background and can appear later as conditions change.
UNIQUENESS
Most supply and demand indicators draw zones and stop there, leaving the trader to guess which levels still matter. Supply and Demand Zones treats each zone as a tracked object with a measurable record. Every retest, failed breakout and clean break is recorded over the zone's life, and the Held statistic turns that record into a single, honest reliability number shown right on the zone — a level that has held four of five tests is immediately distinguishable from one that keeps breaking. Failed breakouts are folded into retests rather than ignored, capturing the trap-and-reclaim behaviour that often marks the strongest levels, and broken zones flip side while keeping their entire history instead of resetting. The Strongest ranking is driven by that same measured record — reliability, number of tests, and proximity — with smoothing so a single lucky test can't masquerade as a perfect level, meaning the chart automatically surfaces the zones that have actually proven themselves. The result is a supply and demand tool that doesn't just show you where zones are, but how much each one has earned your trust.
DISCLAIMER
This indicator is an analytical and educational tool. It does not predict future price movement and does not provide financial advice. A zone's past hold rate describes what has already happened and does not guarantee future behaviour. Always use proper risk management and combine this tool with your own analysis. Indicator
Hidden Liquidity Profile [Alpha Extract]A sophisticated liquidity-mapping and support/resistance profiling framework that analyzes historical candle structure, volume, wick behaviour, and price distribution to identify hidden supply and demand zones across the chart. Hidden Liquidity Profile is designed to reveal where meaningful liquidity may be concentrated by separating sell-side and buy-side pressure into price bins, then projecting those zones forward as heat boxes, horizon lines, key price tags, and a real-time support/resistance dashboard.
Rather than relying on simple pivot highs and lows, the system evaluates how volume interacted with candle ranges, upper wicks, lower wicks, candle bodies, and recency weighting. This creates a dynamic liquidity profile that highlights where price may encounter resistance, support, absorption, or reaction zones.
🔶 Hidden Liquidity Profiling Engine
Builds separate supply and demand profiles across the selected lookback range. The system divides price into configurable bins, then distributes liquidity strength into those bins based on volume, candle range, wick size, body size, and age decay.
energy = vol * rng * decay
sellStrength = energy * (upWick * wickWeight + body * bodyWeight * sellBias)
buyStrength = energy * (dnWick * wickWeight + body * bodyWeight * buyBias)
This allows the indicator to estimate where sell liquidity and buy liquidity are most likely concentrated rather than only marking obvious visible highs and lows.
🔶 Supply & Demand Separation
The profile separates upper-wick and lower-wick pressure into two distinct liquidity maps.
Upper wick activity contributes to the supply profile, helping identify areas where sellers may have previously absorbed price movement. Lower wick activity contributes to the demand profile, helping identify zones where buyers may have previously defended price.
This separation gives traders a clearer view of whether nearby levels are more likely to behave as resistance, support, or balanced liquidity.
🔶 Age-Weighted Liquidity Decay
Applies a recency decay model so newer candles have stronger influence than older candles. This keeps the profile focused on liquidity that is more relevant to the current market environment while still preserving broader historical context.
The Age Decay Power setting controls how aggressively older liquidity fades. Higher values emphasize recent price action more strongly, while lower values retain more historical structure.
🔶 Price Bin Distribution System
Divides the analyzed price range into configurable price bins and assigns liquidity strength into each level. The Price Bins setting controls the resolution of the profile.
More bins create a finer, more detailed liquidity map. Fewer bins create a smoother, broader view of major supply and demand areas.
🔶 Distribution Radius Smoothing
Uses a configurable distribution radius to spread liquidity strength around nearby bins. This prevents the profile from becoming too fragmented and helps form smoother liquidity clusters.
This is especially useful on volatile assets where important liquidity zones often form across small ranges rather than at one exact tick.
🔶 Liquidity Heat Box Visualization
Displays supply and demand as horizontal heat boxes projected to the right side of the chart.
Supply liquidity is shown on the sell side using the selected sell color, while demand liquidity is shown on the buy side using the selected buy color. Wider and brighter boxes represent stronger normalized liquidity at that price level.
This creates a visual depth-style map that helps traders quickly identify where meaningful liquidity may be stacked above and below current price.
🔶 Forward Horizon Lines
Projects stronger liquidity levels forward using horizontal lines. These lines act as future reference zones where price may react, pause, reject, or accelerate through.
The Line Trigger setting controls how strong a liquidity level must be before it is projected. The Line Width Scale setting adjusts how visually dominant stronger levels appear.
🔶 Key Level Detection Framework
Identifies the strongest supply and demand levels from the profile and labels them directly on the chart.
The system can prioritize local peaks, helping avoid overcrowding and ensuring that selected levels represent distinct liquidity clusters rather than multiple nearby bins from the same zone.
This scoring model favors levels with strong dominant liquidity while still accounting for total combined activity.
🔶 Supply HVN & Demand HVN Labels
Marks high-volume liquidity nodes as Supply HVN or Demand HVN depending on which side of the profile dominates at that price.
Each label includes the level type, normalized strength percentage, and exact price. This allows traders to quickly identify the most important liquidity levels without manually reading the full heat map.
🔶 Nearest Support & Resistance Logic
Calculates the most relevant resistance above price and support below price using both liquidity strength and distance from current price.
Levels closer to current price receive more practical importance, while still needing enough liquidity strength to qualify. This helps the dashboard focus on actionable nearby zones instead of simply displaying the strongest level anywhere in the lookback range.
🔶 Aura Point Of Control
Identifies the strongest combined liquidity level across the profile. This Aura POC represents the price zone with the highest combined supply and demand activity.
The POC can act as a major reference point for balance, rotation, acceptance, rejection, or future retests.
🔶 Liquidity Pressure Balance
Compares total normalized demand against total normalized supply to estimate the broader pressure bias across the analyzed range.
When demand is meaningfully stronger, the dashboard shows a demand bias. When supply dominates, it shows a supply bias. When the two sides are close, the market is classified as balanced.
🔶 Real-Time S/R Dashboard
Includes a compact dashboard showing the most important liquidity information directly on the chart:
• Nearest resistance level
• Nearest support level
• Aura POC
• Supply, demand, or balanced pressure
• Active liquidity level count
• Current ticker reference
This gives traders a quick summary of where the strongest nearby reaction zones are and whether the broader liquidity profile is tilted toward supply or demand.
🔶 Customizable Visual Controls
Provides flexible display controls for heat boxes, horizon lines, key level tags, dotted key level lines, and the dashboard.
Traders can adjust the number of analyzed bars, price bin resolution, liquidity smoothing, projection distance, box width, line width, and trigger thresholds to match different assets and timeframes.
🔶 Clean Overlay Design
The full liquidity map is displayed directly on price without requiring a separate oscillator pane. Heat boxes appear to the right of the chart, while key levels and labels extend across the active lookback area.
This keeps the chart readable while still providing a detailed view of hidden supply and demand structure.
🔶 Why Choose Hidden Liquidity Profile ?
Hidden Liquidity Profile provides a more advanced way to identify potential support, resistance, and liquidity reaction zones by analyzing volume-weighted candle structure across the full price range. Instead of marking only visible swing highs and lows, it evaluates where supply and demand pressure may be concentrated based on wick behaviour, candle body participation, volume energy, and recency-weighted price distribution.
The heat boxes reveal liquidity density, the horizon lines project important levels forward, the HVN labels highlight the strongest zones, and the dashboard summarizes nearest support, resistance, POC, and pressure bias in real time.
Perfect for liquidity traders, support/resistance traders, intraday traders, swing traders, and market structure analysts who want a cleaner way to visualize hidden supply and demand zones directly on the chart. Indicator
Volume Supply and Demand [TradingIQ]The Next Generation of Supply and Demand
You haven't seen a single good Supply and Demand indicator until today.
Let's be honest: almost every S/D indicator you've tried is either too late, constantly repaints, or simply flags every single random pivot on the chart as a "zone." That is not how institutional trading works. Traditional support and resistance might teach you to draw lines at every turning point, but if you've been trading for more than two weeks, you know that not every pivot holds weight in the future.
This tool was built to fix that. It is designed to filter out the low-quality noise, bypass the common structural flaws of basic chart metrics, and isolate nothing but genuine liquidity shock events where massive market orders actually took place.
Welcome to the Volume Supply and Demand engine.
---
How the Algorithm Works (The "Why")
Easier said than done, right? Finding a level that actually has institutional defense behind it requires deep mathematical screening. Instead of just looking for simple highs and lows, this algorithm detects explosive price moves via an advanced multi-step screening system.
First, the script calculates the True Range of consecutive candles to establish a baseline of normal market volatility. Once that baseline is set, it actively scans for sudden, abnormal expansions in price. It analyzes the specific angle, slope, and velocity of the expansion to ensure the move is statistically anomalous.
Demand Zones: These are flagged when extreme buying pressure forces a rapid, high-velocity move upwards, leaving behind a massive footprint of unfilled passive limit orders.
Supply Zones: These are flagged when intense selling aggression ramps up instantly, completely rejecting higher prices and driving the market down with severe negative velocity.
We strictly filter out the low-quality, minor pivot points. Once the strict qualifications of velocity and range expansion are met, the zone is detected and locked in instantly.
---
Structure vs. Normal Support & Resistance
To trade effectively, you must understand why these zones behave differently than standard horizontal support and resistance lines.
Traditional support and resistance lines can theoretically be drawn anywhere the market decides to turn around, regardless of the volume or speed behind the move. This creates messy charts cluttered with hundreds of psychological lines that offer no real edge.
This engine is different because it maps out an entire premium or discount zone based on the exact candle structural properties where the initial institutional imbalance occurred. It targets the literal origin of the reaction , creating a highly precise boundary where a major market participant stepped in aggressively to flip the auction control.
---
Deep-Dive Order Flow Features
We didn't just build a box-drawing tool. We added an entirely new dimension of volume analysis to help you gauge the actual internal strength of these levels.
Origin Volume Profiles: This is the game-changer. For every valid Supply or Demand zone generated, the indicator dynamically projects a micro Volume Profile directly inside the specific structural move that created the zone . You get an immediate, visually clear picture of exactly where the heavy volume was transacted during that specific liquidity event.
Delta & POC Lines: The algorithm identifies the Point of Control (POC) for both the buy-volume side and the sell-volume side independently. By plotting these lines, you can see precisely where the buyers or sellers exhibited their maximum aggression right before the major expansion occurred.
Time-Based Profiles: Volume isn't the only metric that matters. You can change the profile type inside the settings to "Time" to generate a profile that maps out exactly where the price spent the most time consolidating before exploding out of the zone.
Auto Hit-Deletion: The more a level is traded into, the weaker it gets as the resting passive orders are continuously matched and filled. To prevent you from trading dead levels, the indicator includes an automated hit-deletion toggle. The moment the price decisively pierces through a zone, the script recognizes the liquidity exhaustion and wipes the zone from your chart.
---
Settings & Optimization Guidelines
Because this script relies on heavy historical array calculations and complex request structures, proper optimization is essential for a smooth charting experience:
S/D Zone Style (Wick, Body, Candle): This dictates the strictness of your zone boundaries.
Wick (Default & Strongly Recommended): Draws the zone across the precise wick of the origin candle, capturing the maximum premium/discount extremity.
Body / Candle: Alternative constraints that alter the vertical width of the boxes based on the candle open and close values.
Max Zone Age (Bars): A zone created hundreds of bars ago losing its relevance because the participants holding those orders have likely closed their positions. This setting expires old zones to keep your chart fresh. If your chart experiences loading delays, lower this setting to roughly 200 bars.
Calculated Bars: To manage the calculation weight of the Epanechnikov kernel filtering and volume slice matrices, you can adjust the total calculation window. If your chart shows a red runtime error, lower this setting from 5000 down to 2000 bars.
Show Volume at Level: Turning this on overlays the raw numerical transaction data over each individual profile block, allowing for precise order flow calculation.
---
The Core Trading Logic
When a zone is formed by a massive imbalance of aggressive market orders, institutional participants frequently leave resting passive limit orders behind because the market moved too quickly to fill their entire block. When price returns to this exact zone for the first time, those resting orders are triggered. This acts as a defense line, forcing an aggressive, fast reversal.
If price returns to a zone multiple times, or if it begins to grind and spend a long time consolidating inside a box, that is a major warning sign. It means liquidity is actively depleting, the passive orders are being entirely consumed, and a massive liquidity shock breakout is right around the corner.

Rejection Block Matrix [ZOM]Rejection Block Matrix maps supply and demand rejection blocks from failed swing sweeps and confirmed pivot wick rejection.
What it shows:
- Demand and supply blocks built from wick/body rejection structure
- Failed high/low sweep blocks for tape-reading style reversal context
- Tested and broken block state tracking, with broken context hidden by default to reduce clutter
- Reclaim/rejection marks when price retests a live block
- A compact dashboard showing visible demand/supply blocks, tested count, latest source, bias, and quality
How I use it:
The blocks are structure zones, not automatic entries. I use them to see where price rejected prior liquidity, then watch how later candles behave when they revisit those blocks. It is especially useful on liquid intraday markets such as ES, NQ, crypto, and major FX pairs.

BreakoutBreakout is an overlay indicator for identifying pre-breakout trade context using supply/demand zones, higher-timeframe alignment, moving-average structure, and confluence scoring.
This script is for analysis and planning only. It does not place orders or guarantee results.
What it does
Breakout helps visualize potential long and short setups before price breaks out of a key zone. It combines:
- Key magnet supply/demand zones (strongest reaction levels only)
- HTF trade zones auto-anchored by chart timeframe
- Pre-trade setup boxes with entry, stop, and target
- Diamond markers for high-confluence turning points
- Liquidity levels for potential sweep/SFP context
- Optional info panel with bias, levels, and active setup details
How it works
Magnet zones: pivot highs/lows cluster into levels. Levels price revisits gain strength. Only the strongest are drawn.
HTF trade regime: each chart timeframe uses two higher anchor timeframes. Long ideas can be filtered to HTF demand zones; shorts to HTF supply zones. Zones use confirmed HTF swing highs/lows with ATR-based width and reach.
Setup engine: setups form when zone context, trend/MA structure, confidence score, and cooldown align. Stops use risk percent, MA support/resistance, swing levels, and a max distance cap. Targets use a configurable minimum risk/reward.
Diamond signals: require structure (SFP, reversal, or MA setup), zone context, and supporting momentum/trend. Optional volume spike and RSI divergence add confluence. Not every pivot prints a diamond.
Volume and divergence: abnormal volume spikes (relative volume and z-score) can combine with RSI divergence in diamonds and setup scoring.
MTF data uses request.security() with barmerge.lookahead_off to avoid lookahead on higher-timeframe context.
How to use
1. Add Breakout to your chart.
2. Choose your execution timeframe.
3. Keep HTF zone filter on for higher-timeframe alignment.
4. Wait for price at HTF zone plus key magnet zone, then diamond or setup box with confidence at or above Min Confidence.
5. Use entry, stop, and target from the active setup box for planning.
6. Manage risk with your own rules.

[ A L P H A X ] FORTRESS - Supply & Demand Zone EngineAlphaX FORTRESS — Supply & Demand Zone Engine with Zone Grading, Session VWAP Confluence, Liquidity Sweep Signals, HTF Zone Overlay & Live Backtest Statistics
AlphaX FORTRESS is a professional-grade supply and demand system built around an institutional zone detection engine that identifies, grades, and tracks every significant supply and demand zone on the chart — then fires precision entry signals only when price returns to those zones with genuine rejection confirmation, multi-layer filter alignment, and a qualifying zone grade. Where most supply and demand indicators simply draw boxes and leave the trader to decide what to do, FORTRESS integrates a five-factor zone grading algorithm (A+ through C), session VWAP confluence scoring, higher timeframe zone overlay, liquidity sweep detection, a full suite of entry quality filters, and a live on-chart backtest statistics tracker that counts wins, losses, and win rate in real time directly from the chart's history. Every signal is supported by zone grade verification, trend alignment, ADX confirmation, volume delta pressure, premium/discount positioning, and rejection wick quality — producing a complete, self-contained supply and demand trading system. Designed for active traders across crypto, forex, gold, and indices on any timeframe.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🏛 Supply & Demand — The Institutional Framework
Supply and demand zones are the foundational building blocks of institutional price delivery. Unlike horizontal support and resistance drawn from price memory, genuine supply and demand zones are identified from the origin of explosive moves — the exact price range where institutions accumulated or distributed their positions before driving price aggressively in one direction.
Demand Zone: Formed when price makes an explosive bullish move away from a base. The base — one or more low-momentum candles directly preceding the explosive candle — represents the range where institutional buyers accumulated their full position. When price returns to this zone, unfilled buy orders are waiting. The most reliable demand zone retests produce sharp, rejection-candle bounces from within the zone.
Supply Zone: The mirror image. An explosive bearish move preceded by a base of low-momentum candles. Institutions distributed their position in the base before driving price aggressively lower. On return, unfilled sell orders produce sharp rejection moves downward from within the zone.
Why FORTRESS detects zones differently from most indicators: Most zone detectors use a simple pivot or pattern check. FORTRESS requires three simultaneous conditions for a zone to qualify — the departure candle must be explosive (ATR-scaled range), the body must represent a minimum proportion of the total range (body quality filter), and volume must confirm when enabled. Only zones formed by genuine institutional displacement are registered.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔬 Zone Detection Engine — Quality Filters
Every zone formed by FORTRESS passes three mandatory quality gates before being registered:
Explosive Move Filter:
The departure candle (the candle that leaves the base and drives price) must have a total range exceeding the ATR by a configurable multiplier (default: 1.2×). This filters out zones formed by slow, grinding moves — only impulsive, institutionally driven departures qualify. Smaller ATR multipliers produce more zones; larger values produce fewer, higher-quality zones.
Body Quality Filter:
The departure candle's body must represent at least a configurable percentage of its total range (default: 55%). A small body in a large-range candle indicates indecision — the candle moved far but closed near its midpoint, suggesting weak directional conviction. A large body relative to range confirms genuine one-directional pressure on the departure move.
Volume Confirmation (optional):
When enabled, the departure candle's volume must exceed the average volume (configurable period, default: 20 bars) by a minimum multiplier (default: 1.1×). High-volume departures carry more institutional weight than same-range moves on average volume. The volume filter is off by default — this allows the system to work effectively on instruments where volume data is unreliable (forex spot, crypto perpetuals) while providing an additional quality gate when reliable volume is available.
Base Detection:
The base candles immediately preceding the explosive departure are automatically detected — up to the configurable maximum (default: 2 candles). Base candles must have a body smaller than 0.5× ATR and must not themselves be explosive. The full base range is incorporated into the zone boundaries, accurately reflecting the complete accumulation or distribution range rather than just the departure candle alone.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🏅 Zone Grading System — A+ Through C
Not all supply and demand zones are equal. A zone formed on massive volume with VWAP confluence during a premium price area carries fundamentally more institutional weight than the same pattern on average volume in a random price area. FORTRESS quantifies this difference with a five-factor algorithmic grading system that assigns every zone a grade of A+, A, B, or C at the moment of formation.
Grading factors and their weights:
Move Strength (up to 30 points) — the ratio of the departure candle's range to ATR, capped at 30 points. Stronger, more explosive departures score higher. A 3× ATR departure scores maximum; a 1.2× departure (the minimum threshold) scores proportionally lower
Volume Ratio (up to 20 points) — when volume confirmation is enabled, the ratio of departure volume to average volume, capped at 20 points. When volume confirmation is off, a flat 10 points is awarded to maintain grade comparability across instruments. High-volume departures receive the full bonus
VWAP Confluence (20 points) — full 20 points awarded when the session VWAP is within a configurable ATR tolerance of the zone boundaries at the time of formation. A zone that forms directly at the institutional session reference level carries significantly more weight than a zone formed far from VWAP. This is the VWAP Boosts Grade feature
HTF Zone Match (20 points) — full 20 points when the zone overlaps with an active higher timeframe supply or demand zone. Confluence between the current timeframe zone and the HTF zone indicates institutional activity at multiple timeframe levels simultaneously — the strongest possible zone quality condition
PD Zone Match (15 points) — awarded when the zone forms in the institutionally correct price area: supply zones in premium (above dealing range equilibrium) and demand zones in discount (below equilibrium). A supply zone in premium and a demand zone in discount are positioned where institutions naturally distribute and accumulate respectively
Base bonus (5 points) — a flat quality bonus applied to all qualifying zones
Grade thresholds:
A+ (80+ points) — elite institutional zone. All or most factors aligned. Maximum conviction
A (65–79 points) — strong zone with multiple confirming factors. High quality
B (50–64 points) — solid zone with partial confirmation. Standard quality
C (below 50 points) — low-quality zone. Formed with minimal supporting factors
The grade badge is displayed directly on the zone box on the chart. The minimum grade filter (default: B) blocks signals from C-grade zones entirely — preventing entries at the lowest-quality institutional levels.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🌐 Session VWAP Confluence
The session VWAP is plotted as a continuous purple line and serves two distinct roles in FORTRESS.
Visual reference: The VWAP line and optional ±1σ bands provide the institutional session fair value reference directly on the price chart. Optional band display shows the first standard deviation envelope around VWAP.
Grade booster: When VWAP Boosts Grade is enabled (default: on), every zone that forms within ATR tolerance of the session VWAP receives 20 additional grade points — frequently elevating a B-grade zone to A or A+ when VWAP proximity confirms institutional positioning at that level.
Why VWAP at the zone matters: The session VWAP is the single most widely watched intraday reference level by institutional desks, algorithms, and market makers. When a supply or demand zone forms directly at the VWAP, it means the institutional activity that created the zone coincided with the session's fairest price level — the most contested and significant price in the session. Retests of these zones carry the highest probability of generating a sharp institutional response.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📡 HTF Zone Overlay
FORTRESS pulls supply and demand zones from a configurable higher timeframe (default: 60-minute) and overlays them on the current chart as purple dashed boxes.
What HTF zones represent: A supply or demand zone on H1 was created by a significantly larger impulsive move than anything visible on M5 or M1. These zones represent institutional positioning decisions made on a multi-hour timeframe — they carry far more weight than same-pattern zones on the current timeframe. When a current timeframe demand zone overlaps with an active H1 demand zone, two independent timeframes of institutional evidence are concentrated at the same price level.
Zone matching in the grader: When a newly formed current timeframe zone overlaps with an active HTF zone of the same type, it receives the full 20-point HTF Match bonus in the grading system — frequently pushing the zone from B to A or A+ grade. The label also appends ·HTF to confirm the match.
HTF zone lifecycle: HTF zones are maintained in real time. When price closes above an HTF supply zone or below an HTF demand zone, the zone is deleted automatically — mitigated zones are no longer relevant and are removed to keep the chart clean.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💧 Liquidity Sweep Signal Mode
In addition to standard zone rejection signals, FORTRESS detects a powerful second entry type: the liquidity sweep — where price wicks through a zone's boundary to grab stop orders before reclaiming back inside.
Demand sweep (bull): Price wicks below the demand zone bottom by at least the minimum sweep depth (default: 0.15× ATR), then closes back above the zone bottom. Retail stops placed just below the demand zone have been triggered — institutions used that liquidity to accumulate. The reclaim close is the entry signal.
Supply sweep (bear): Price wicks above the supply zone top by at least the minimum sweep depth, then closes back below the zone top. Buy stops above supply have been triggered; the close back below is the entry.
Why sweeps are powerful: A standard zone rejection is a clean, textbook entry. A zone sweep adds an additional dimension — institutions have actively manufactured a liquidity event at the zone boundary, triggered counterparty stops to fill their own orders, and then reversed. This sequence is a clear signature of institutional stop hunting followed by directional commitment. Sweep signals are marked with an orange circle rather than a triangle to distinguish them visually from standard rejections.
Stop placement for sweeps: The SL for sweep entries is placed at the wick extreme (the sweep low for bull sweeps, the sweep high for bear sweeps) plus a small ATR buffer — anchored to the actual manipulation point rather than the zone boundary.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧠 Signal Entry Logic — Multi-Layer Filtering
A FORTRESS signal fires when a zone touch is detected with candle rejection and all configured filters pass. The full filter stack applied to every potential entry:
Zone touch verification:
The current bar's low must reach within the demand zone (for longs) or the current bar's high must reach within the supply zone (for shorts). Touch detection includes a small ATR tolerance (0.05×) to account for minor overshoot or spread differences.
Rejection candle confirmation:
The bar must close in the correct direction — bullish close (close above open) for demand entries, bearish close for supply entries. Additionally, the rejection wick must meet the minimum wick percentage requirement (default: 50% of bar range). A bar touching a zone with a tiny lower wick but a large body is a weak rejection — the minimum wick filter ensures the zone produced a genuine, visible rejection impulse.
Filter stack (all must pass):
Trend EMA — price must be above the trend EMA (default: 50-period) for demand longs, below for supply shorts. Prevents counter-trend entries
ADX minimum — market must be trending above the configured ADX threshold (default: 18). Blocks zone entries in choppy, ranging conditions
Volume Delta — estimated directional volume pressure must agree with the signal direction. Bull volume dominance for longs, bear for shorts
PD Zone requirement — price must be in discount for demand entries (below dealing range equilibrium) and in premium for supply entries (above equilibrium)
Zone grade minimum — only zones at or above the configured minimum grade (default: B) can trigger signals
Fresh zone filter — when enabled, only zones that have not been previously tested can trigger signals. A zone that has already been retested once carries less institutional fresh-order weight
One signal per zone — when enabled, each zone can only generate one signal regardless of how many valid touches occur. Prevents repeated entries at the same level
Signal cooldown — minimum bars between any two signals (default: 5). Prevents signal clustering during complex multi-touch zone reactions
Session filter — when enabled, restricts all signals to the configured active hours window
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📊 Zone Mitigation & Lifecycle Management
FORTRESS tracks the full lifecycle of every zone from formation through mitigation. The mitigation mode is configurable:
Body Close (default): A zone is mitigated when price closes beyond its boundary — a close above a supply zone top or a close below a demand zone bottom. This is the stricter, lower-noise mode. Wicks through the zone do not count as mitigation unless they are accompanied by a body close — consistent with the idea that a wick through the zone is a sweep (an opportunity) rather than a genuine break.
Wick Touch: A zone is mitigated as soon as any price touches the boundary — high above supply top, low below demand bottom. This is a more aggressive mitigation mode that removes zones faster, keeping the chart cleaner but potentially removing zones that could have produced more entries.
When a zone is mitigated under either mode, its box, label, and grade badge are immediately deleted from the chart. The system maintains a rolling maximum of the configured number of active zones per side (default: 3), automatically removing the oldest zones when the limit is exceeded.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📈 Live Backtest Statistics Tracker
One of FORTRESS's most distinctive features is its on-chart live backtest statistics system . Every signal fired is tracked in memory with its entry price, ATR at signal time, direction, and grade. On every subsequent bar, the tracker evaluates whether each open signal has hit the configured target (default: 2.0× ATR) or stop (default: 1.0× ATR).
Statistics tracked and displayed on the dashboard:
Total Signals — the total count of signals logged in the tracking window
Wins — signals that reached the target before the stop
Losses — signals that hit the stop before the target
Win Rate — wins as a percentage of all closed (decided) signals. Color-coded yellow-green when at or above 50%, red when below
Pending — signals still open — neither target nor stop hit yet. Shown in orange
What this tells you: The win rate displayed is not a theoretical backtest result — it is computed directly from the current chart's historical signals using the exact filter configuration currently active. Change the zone grade minimum and the win rate updates. Enable the ADX filter and it updates. This gives you immediate, live feedback on how your configuration is performing on the current instrument and timeframe without leaving the chart.
Important note on interpretation: The statistics reflect signals fired at the current settings on the current chart's visible history. They are not forward-tested results and do not account for slippage, spread, or live execution. They serve as a real-time tuning tool — not a performance guarantee.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🚀 How to Trade with AlphaX FORTRESS — Step by Step
Step 1 — Assess the Zone Landscape
Check the dashboard: how many supply and demand zones are active? Multiple demand zones stacked in the same price area indicate a strong institutional accumulation cluster — a high-priority retest target
Identify the highest-grade zones on the chart. An A+ demand zone with ·VWAP ·HTF in the label is the highest-conviction level FORTRESS can display. Mark these as priority levels
Note the equilibrium line — are you in discount (favorable for longs) or premium (favorable for shorts)?
Step 2 — Confirm the Filter Environment
Check the dashboard: Trend ▲ BULL, PD Zone ◧ DISCOUNT, ADX ✓, Vol Delta ▲ BULL — all four green simultaneously is the ideal filter state for long entries
If any critical filter is failing, reduce position size on signals or skip the setup entirely
Watch the VWAP line — is it near the zone you are watching? VWAP proximity at the zone level confirms the highest-grade setups
Step 3 — Enter on the Signal
A ▲ triangle below the bar is a confirmed demand rejection — all quality and filter conditions met. Enter on the close or next bar open
An orange ● circle below the bar is a sweep long — the zone was violated, stops triggered, and price reclaimed. Enter on the close. Place the stop at the wick extreme
Both signal types display SL and TP guide levels (dotted circles) when Show SL / TP on Signal is enabled
Step 4 — Monitor with the Stats Dashboard
Watch the Win Rate row on the dashboard. If the current configuration is producing a win rate below 50% on this instrument and timeframe, consider tightening the filters — raise the minimum grade, increase the ADX threshold, or enable the volume filter
The Pending count tells you how many trades are currently open and unresolved — useful for position sizing decisions
If Losses are rising without corresponding Wins, check whether the market has entered a choppy regime (ADX dropping) and consider pausing trading until ADX recovers
Step 5 — Zone Management and Exit
When price reaches the TP guide level, take partial or full profit
If price closes through the zone boundary opposite to your entry (body close mitigation), the zone is invalidated — this is also your stop signal if not already stopped out
Watch for the zone to be deleted from the chart — when the box disappears, the zone has been mitigated and the trade thesis is over
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠ Identifying Low-Quality Conditions — When Not to Trade
Stand aside when:
ADX ✗ on the dashboard — the market is ranging. Supply and demand zones in range conditions are frequently tested and broken repeatedly without producing clean continuation moves. The ADX filter blocks signals in these conditions automatically
All active zones are grade C — no high-quality institutional levels are present. The zones on the chart were formed by weak, low-displacement moves and are unlikely to produce sharp institutional responses on retest
Win Rate is below 40% on the live stats tracker — the current configuration is underperforming on this instrument and timeframe. Tighten filters or review whether the instrument is suitable for zone-based trading at this time
Zones are being mitigated rapidly before retesting — fast, impulsive markets break through zones without retesting them. In this environment, wait for a new zone to form in the direction of the impulse rather than trying to catch retests of quickly broken levels
PD Zone shows — EQ — price is at the dealing range midpoint. Entries from equilibrium carry the worst risk/reward — the institutional advantage of buying in deep discount or selling in deep premium is absent
Vol Delta opposes the signal direction — institutional volume pressure is working against the zone entry. Even if all other conditions pass, a demand zone long with bearish volume delta means selling pressure is still dominant — the zone may not hold
No HTF zones visible and current timeframe zones are grading mostly B and C — the institutional context on the higher timeframe is not confirming the current timeframe levels. Wait for HTF supply or demand to align before entering aggressively

🎯 Recommended Settings by Instrument & Timeframe
The default configuration is optimized for XAUUSD, major forex pairs, and crypto on M1–M15 :
Move Strength at 1.2× ATR — sensitive enough to catch meaningful departures on fast-moving intraday instruments
Min Grade at B — filters out the lowest-quality zones while allowing solid B-grade setups to signal
Fresh Zones Only on — fresh, untested zones carry the most unfilled institutional orders
HTF at 60-minute — provides meaningful confluence context for intraday M1–M15 trading
Volume Confirmation off — reliable for futures and equities, unreliable for spot forex and crypto perpetuals
For other instruments or timeframes, adjust:
Higher timeframes (H1, H4) — increase Move Strength to 1.5–2.0× ATR, set HTF to Daily or Weekly, raise Min Grade to A, increase Dealing Range Length to 100–200
Crypto (BTC, ETH) — enable Volume Confirmation with 1.2× multiplier on exchanges with reliable volume data, increase Move Strength to 1.4–1.6, increase Min Sweep Depth to 0.25×
Indices (NAS100, US30) — enable Session Filter to 09:30–16:00, enable Volume Confirmation, set Min Grade to A for cleaner signal quality
More zones and signals — reduce Move Strength to 1.0, lower Min Grade to C, disable Fresh Zones Only, disable One Signal Per Zone
Fewer, highest-quality signals only — raise Min Grade to A or A+, enable Volume Confirmation, enable HTF Zones, set VWAP Boosts Grade on. Only A+ zones with VWAP and HTF alignment will produce signals
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📝 Notes
All signals are confirmed on bar close — the indicator is non-repainting by design. Zone detection, grading, mitigation, and signal logic all finalize on confirmed bars only
The live backtest statistics use ATR-based fixed targets and stops for tracking purposes. These are not the same as any broker-level trade execution. The purpose is configuration tuning, not performance reporting
Maximum 200 boxes, 200 labels, and 100 lines are rendered. On charts with long history and frequent zone formation, the oldest zones are automatically removed by PulseWire's rendering limits. The Max Active Zones / Side setting provides additional control over zone count
HTF zone detection uses Pine Script's request.security function with lookahead off — HTF zones are non-repainting and reflect the HTF close price at each lower timeframe bar
The PD Zone equilibrium is calculated from the highest high and lowest low over the Dealing Range Length. On strongly trending instruments this level will shift progressively — it is a relative measure within the recent range, not a fixed level
The session VWAP resets at each session's first bar. For 24-hour crypto instruments, the VWAP anchors to the first bar of each calendar day. Consider disabling the VWAP grade boost on instruments where session definition is ambiguous
The sweep signal mode and standard zone rejection signal mode are independent. A zone that produces a sweep signal is marked as used (when One Signal Per Zone is enabled), preventing a subsequent standard rejection signal from the same zone — ensuring only one entry per zone regardless of which entry type fires first

Bollinger Band [scoopup]Overview
A Bollinger Bands–based indicator that shows trend direction (up/down) through the basis line color, displays band width (volatility) as a percentage, and marks the most recent meaningful lows (demand zones) on the weekly and daily timeframes as boxes. It lets you view statistical volatility and the real low zones where buying previously stepped in — all on a single chart.
Default settings are Length 21 and StdDev 1.618, based on the Fibonacci number (21) and the golden ratio (1.618).
Components
1. Bollinger Bands (Upper / Basis / Lower)
Defaults: Length 21, StdDev 1.618
Upper band, basis (middle), and lower band. The bands widen and narrow with volatility.
2. Basis Line Trend Color (Daily-based)
The color of the middle basis line indicates trend direction.
Logic: over a set lookback, it compares the cumulative size of the "close-to-lower" area (red) versus the "upper-to-close" area (green).
Red area dominant → uptrend → basis line GREEN
Green area dominant → downtrend → basis line RED
The longer the close stays near the lower band (larger red area), the more it is read as base-building before a move higher.
This color is always calculated from Daily data, regardless of the chart timeframe. Whether you view it on the 15m, 1h, or 4h chart, the daily trend color stays consistent.
3. Fill
Upper band ↔ close: semi-transparent green
Close ↔ lower band: semi-transparent red
Lets you quickly read where the close sits within the bands.
4. Band Width (%)
Formula: (Upper − Lower) / Basis × 100
Displays the current band width in a corner table as Band Width: X.XX%.
Lower = volatility contraction (squeeze) → often precedes a large move; higher = volatility expansion.
The Data Window also shows band width % and band width (price difference), including on historical bars.
5. Recent Lows
Weekly recent low = yellow box / Daily recent low = red box
Shows only the most recent pivot (swing) low that sits below the current close. (Lows above the close are skipped; if the latest low is above the close, the prior low is used instead.)
Box height spans the low ↔ the close at that point, and extends to the right to show a still-valid support/demand zone.
How to Read It
Basis green + close near the lower band → watch for a potential bounce after base-building.
Basis red + close near the upper band → watch for overextension/pullback risk.
Band Width % contracting (squeeze) → watch for an upcoming volatility expansion.
Recent low boxes (yellow/red) act as first support candidates on a pullback. A close below the box signals support failure.
Key Settings
Bollinger Bands: Source, Length (default 21), StdDev (default 1.618), Band Color / Width / Style
Basis Line: Show Basis, Basis Width, Ratio Length, Up / Down Color
Fill: Show Fill, Upper / Lower Fill Transparency
Band Width: Show Band Width %, Table Position, Text Size
Recent Lows: weekly/daily toggles, Pivot Length, Box Color
Tips
This is a supporting tool for reading trend direction + volatility + support zones together, not a standalone trade signal.
Reliability increases when the daily trend color and a recent low box line up in the same area.
Adjust StdDev and Ratio Length to fit each instrument's volatility.

Meridian Structure Lattice [JOAT]Meridian Structure Lattice
Introduction
Meridian Structure Lattice is an open-source market structure and zone-mapping overlay designed to visualize how price interacts with prior swing liquidity, displacement, fair value gaps, structural blocks, and supply-demand regions. It focuses on the structural side of chart reading rather than on generic trend-following averages.
The problem this script solves is fragmentation. Traders often need separate tools for BOS detection, sweep identification, imbalance mapping, and supply-demand marking. Meridian Structure Lattice consolidates those ideas into one coordinated structure model so the user can see which event happened, where it happened, and which zones remain active or invalidated afterward.
Core Concepts
1. Pivot-Based Structure Engine
Confirmed swing highs and lows are tracked with symmetric pivot logic. Those pivots become the active structural reference points for bullish and bearish breaks, as well as the levels that can later be swept without closing through them.
2. BOS Versus Shift Logic
When price closes beyond the latest active pivot high or low, the script classifies the event relative to the existing structure bias. Continuation breaks are labeled as BOS, while breaks against the prior bias are labeled as shifts.
3. Liquidity Sweeps
Sweeps occur when price trades beyond a stored pivot but closes back through it. These are displayed with event lines anchored to the original pivot zone rather than floating labels only.
4. Zone Families
The script can create and maintain fair value gaps, structural blocks, and ATR-width supply-demand zones. Each zone extends forward, can display a midpoint, can show a live price label on the right edge, and changes state when price mitigates it.
Features
Pivot-confirmed structure model: Swing highs and lows drive all event logic
Bullish and bearish BOS detection: Confirmed continuation breaks
Bullish and bearish shift detection: Regime-sensitive structural reversals
Liquidity sweep detection: Wick-through and close-back behavior against stored pivots
Fair value gap zones: Bullish and bearish imbalance regions
Structural blocks: Structure-derived reaction zones that can be upgraded after displacement
Supply and demand mapping: ATR-scaled zones projected forward
Zone midlines and price labels: Optional midpoint and right-edge price tagging
Mitigation logic: Zones can retire on close-through or wick-through behavior
Dashboard: Active zone counts, last event, sweep age, displacement state, and pivot spread
Confirmed-bar mode: Events can be restricted to confirmed candles only
Input Parameters
Structure:
Swing Length controls structural sensitivity
BOS, sweep, and label toggles control the event layer
Zones And Display:
Fair value gap, structural block, and supply-demand toggles
Supply-demand ATR width and maximum active zones per side
Displacement threshold, mitigation mode, confirmed-bar requirement, midline, price label, dashboard, and forward extension settings
How to Use This Indicator
Step 1: Identify the most recent event in the dashboard to understand whether structure is breaking or only sweeping.
Step 2: Use BOS and shift labels to determine whether the current break is continuation or reversal behavior.
Step 3: Use sweeps as failed acceptance signals around prior liquidity.
Step 4: Use active zones as forward reference areas for mitigation, continuation, or rejection.
Step 5: Monitor whether a zone remains active or has already been invalidated before treating it as tradeable.
Indicator Limitations
Pivot logic confirms after the pivot forms, so structural labels intentionally appear with delay to avoid repainting
Fast moves may skip through multiple nearby zones before the chart can display a clean response
Zone families are analytical references, not guaranteed reversal areas
Dense structure on lower timeframes can still require selective display settings for clarity
Originality Statement
Meridian Structure Lattice is original in the way it coordinates structural events and multiple forward zone families inside a single non-repainting framework. The different components are not merged for convenience alone; they are combined because BOS, shifts, sweeps, blocks, gaps, and supply-demand zones describe different parts of the same structure narrative.
Disclaimer
This indicator is provided for educational and informational purposes only. It does not provide financial advice or guaranteed support and resistance levels. Structural events and zones are derived from historical price behavior and should be used with disciplined risk management.

Golden Pocket ReduxeGolden Pocket Reduxe
Golden Pocket Reduxe is a single overlay that combines two of the most reliable kinds of price levels — Fibonacci Golden Pocket retracement zones and Supply/Demand order blocks — and shows you where they line up. It is built to give you a clean read of where price is most likely to react, across as many timeframes as you want to see at once, without the chart turning into spaghetti.
The Golden Pocket is the area inside a swing where pullbacks most often pause or reverse. The Reduxe applies this concept across multiple timeframes and trading styles at once, and pairs it with order-block detection so you can see when a Fib pullback is also landing on a level where institutional buyers or sellers stepped in.
Why this exists
Most Golden Pocket indicators draw one set of zones based on one set of pivot rules. That works great, but you might have issues when you change timeframes, switch from stocks to futures, or want to see a 1-hour zone while you trade a 5-minute chart. This indicator was built to address all of that:
It runs up to five GP setups at once — two on the chart timeframe and three from any higher timeframes you pick — without redrawing the same zone twice.
It detects supply and demand zones the way professional order-block traders do, with filters for break of structure, volume confirmation, and zone shrinkage on retest.
It highlights confluence — places where multiple signals overlap — so you can immediately see the highest-probability levels.
It handles futures session rollovers, non-standard chart types like Heikin Ashi and Renko, and Regular Trading Hours filtering for equities, all without you having to think about it.
Golden Pocket zones
The indicator tracks pivot highs and lows on whatever timeframe you point it at and draws the Golden Pocket retracement band between each pair. Each zone stays anchored to the specific pivot pair that created it, so an unrelated swing on the opposite side of the market does not destroy a still-valid zone. Bullish GPs mark pullback support in uptrends. Bearish GPs mark rally resistance in downtrends. Both can be color-coded, labeled, or hidden independently.
When a new pivot forms in the same direction, the previous zone can either be archived as a Closed GP (kept on the chart in a different color so you can see historical levels that may still matter) or removed entirely. Closed GPs can be cleaned up automatically by max count, by price invalidation, or both.
There is also an optional Active GP invalidation rule: if price closes beyond a zone for a set number of consecutive bars, the zone is closed automatically. While the counter is running, the box border can recolor as a warning so you can see at a glance which zones are about to be invalidated.
Supply and Demand zones
When an impulsive candle breaks recent structure, the indicator draws an order block at the last opposing candle before the impulse — the precise level where the previous side lost control. This is the classic order-block construction, not a wide consolidation range.
The S/D engine includes:
Break of Structure filter — only confirm a zone when the impulse actually breaks the recent high or low, not just any large candle inside a range. Toggleable.
Shrink on retest — each time price comes back to a zone, it shrinks from the tested edge to visually represent orders being absorbed. After the configured number of retests, the zone is removed.
Cross-invalidation — opposing zones that overlap heavily are automatically removed, since they cannot both be valid.
Volume protection — high-volume zones (marked with a ★) resist invalidation from weaker opposing impulses.
Overlap deduplication — prevents the same level from being marked twice.
Persistent GPs (Day / Week / Month)
Three calendar-period boxes drawn from the live High and Low of the current calendar day, week, or month. These are different from pivot-based GPs — they update continuously as the period's range expands and reset cleanly at the start of each new period. Each period has its own enable toggle, color, fib levels, position, label, midpoint extension, and Regular Trading Hours mode. They are anchored to calendar boundaries in the symbol's timezone, which means they stay stable across futures session rollovers and behave the same way on every symbol.
Useful for higher-timeframe context that does not move as fast as pivot-based GPs, intraday targets off the day range, and weekly or monthly bias zones for swing trading.
Profiles
Instead of forcing you to manually retune pivot distance, ATR multiplier, and zone height every time you change charts, the indicator ships with preset bundles tuned for different trading styles:
Auto — picks the best profile based on the chart's timeframe.
Scalping — tighter pivots and faster zones, suited to charts under 5 minutes.
Intraday — balanced settings for session trading on 15–30 minute charts.
Swing — wider, slower zones for institutional levels on 1-hour charts and above.
Custom — full manual control over every parameter.
GP profiles and S/D profiles are independent — you can run a Scalping GP and a Swing S/D on the same chart, or any other combination.
Multi-timeframe layout
Chart GP Profile 1 / 2 — two profile slots that draw on the chart timeframe with no higher-timeframe lag. Each has its own color.
Overlay Timeframe 1 / 2 / 3 — three slots that each have their own timeframe, GP profile checkboxes (Scalping, Intraday, Swing, Custom), and S/D profile selector. If an overlay slot's timeframe matches the chart and a chart profile already covers that profile, the overlay slot suppresses just that profile to avoid drawing the same zone twice.
So a typical setup might be: chart Profile 1 set to Auto for the chart timeframe, Overlay TF1 set to 1H for medium-term context, and Overlay TF2 set to 4H for higher-timeframe bias — all running simultaneously, each with its own color, all drawn on the same chart.
Confluence detection
Automatically highlights places where two GPs overlap, or where a GP overlaps an S/D zone. Confluence boxes are drawn in their own color and labeled "GP + GP" or "GP + S/D" so you can immediately tell which kind of agreement you're looking at. These are typically the highest-probability levels on the chart.
Volume enhancement
Zones that form on above-average volume are visually boosted (more opaque) and marked with a ★ in the label. The intuition is simple: a level made by real participation is more likely to hold than one made by thin price action. The volume MA length and the opacity boost are both configurable.
MA filter
Optional trend filter that restricts which GP boxes are drawn based on a configurable Fast/Slow MA pair. You can filter by trend direction (only draw GPs that align with the trend), by price position (only draw GPs whose pivots are on the right side of the MA), or turn the filter off entirely. Each MA has its own type (SMA or EMA), length, color, and line style (Solid / Dashed / Dotted).
Use Real OHLC
Forces the indicator to use actual market prices on non-standard chart types like Heikin Ashi, Renko, and Kagi. Without this, pivots and zones would be drawn from modified candle values that don't reflect real traded levels, and your entries, exits, and alerts would all sit at the wrong prices. Keep this on unless you specifically want zones based on the chart's modified candles.
Alerts
Two alert paths, usable independently or together:
Specific conditions — pick from the dropdown: Bull GP Touch, Bear GP Touch, Day GP Touch, Week GP Touch, Month GP Touch, Demand Zone Touch, Supply Zone Touch, Confluence Zone Touch, or Any Zone Touch.
All-Events Alert Stream — set the alert condition to "Any alert() function call" and every zone touch fires a detailed message with direction, timeframe, profile, and symbol — for example "Bull 15 Intraday Golden Pocket Hit on BTCUSD". Persistent GP touches fire as "Day GP Hit", "Week GP Hit", or "Month GP Hit".
Visual customization
Bull, Bear, Day, Week, Month, and Confluence labels each toggle independently. Volume ★ markers have their own toggle. GP box borders can be Solid, Dashed, or Dotted. Active GPs have separate cosmetic offset inputs that control visual width and position without affecting any underlying calculations. An optional GP anchor dot marks the pivot bar where each zone originated. Midpoint lines can optionally be extended back to the originating pivot to make the zone's history easier to read.
How to start
Open Settings → Inputs.
Pick a Chart GP Profile (Auto is a fine default) and a color.
Optionally enable one or more Overlay Timeframe slots if you want higher-timeframe GPs on the same chart.
Leave the S/D engine on its defaults to start; tune later if you want fewer or wider zones.
Enable Persistent GPs (Day / Week / Month) for fixed bias zones that don't depend on pivots.
To set up alerts, right-click the chart → Add alert → set the Condition to this indicator → pick a specific event or choose "Any alert() function call" with the All-Events stream toggle on.

Reaction Entry EngineReaction Entry Engine
Reaction Entry Engine is an open-source supply and demand reaction indicator built around one specific analytical idea:
the first meaningful return into a structurally valid zone can carry different information than later retests of the same area.
This script is not designed to mark every possible touch of every level, and it is not intended to behave like a generic supply and demand overlay that treats repeated interaction the same way. Its purpose is to build supply and demand zones from confirmed pivot structure, optionally validate the strength of the move that created the zone, rank the zone using an internal quality model, detect first-touch reactions, and map those reactions into a structured on-chart framework for analysis and review.
The script also includes review panels so users can inspect how projected setups behaved over time under the current settings. Those review tools are included to support study and comparison, not to imply future performance.
OPEN-SOURCE NOTE
This script is published open-source so users can inspect the logic directly, verify what the script is doing, and adapt parts of the workflow for their own research if they wish.
Even though the code is open, this description is intentionally detailed because many PulseWire users do not read Pine Script. The goal is for a user to understand what the script does, how it works, why its parts belong together, and how it may be used in practice without having to study the code line by line.
OVERVIEW
At a high level, the script does six things:
1. It builds supply and demand zones from confirmed pivot structure.
2. It can source those zones from the chart timeframe, from a higher timeframe, or from both.
3. It can filter weak formations by checking whether the move surrounding the pivot had enough directional strength.
4. It can score zone quality using post-formation displacement, reaction behavior, penetration depth, and repeated-touch penalties.
5. It can detect first-touch reactions into valid zones.
6. It can project entry, stop, and target structure on the chart and summarize projected historical behavior in review panels.
The script is therefore meant to function as a complete first-touch zone reaction framework rather than as a single-purpose zone-drawing tool.
CORE IDEA
Many structural tools identify areas where price may react, but they do not distinguish clearly between the first meaningful return into a zone and later repeated interaction with that same area.
This script is built around the idea that those two situations are not necessarily equivalent.
A fresh or relatively intact zone may behave differently from a zone that has already been tested multiple times. Because of that, the script does not treat all contact events in the same way. It attempts to organize the workflow into a more selective sequence:
first identify structure,
then filter weak structure,
then rank remaining zones,
then focus on the earliest qualifying return,
then map that return into a consistent visual framework for review.
This narrower focus is the main reason the script exists in its current form.
WHY THIS SCRIPT IS NOT A SIMPLE MASHUP
This script combines multiple components, but they are not included simply to place more features into one publication.
Each component has a specific function inside the same analytical process:
- Zone construction defines the structural areas.
- Multi-timeframe sourcing expands or narrows the structural map.
- The impulse filter reduces zones formed without meaningful directional expansion.
- The quality engine separates stronger and weaker structural candidates.
- The first-touch logic makes the model more selective than a repeated-touch zone script.
- The projection layer reduces the need for manual chart annotation after a setup appears.
- The review panels allow the user to examine projected historical behavior under the chosen settings.
These layers are interdependent.
Without the zone engine, there is no structural area to evaluate.
Without impulse validation, the model accepts more weak or noisy pivots.
Without quality scoring, all detected zones are treated too similarly.
Without first-touch logic, the script behaves more like a generic touch-based zone tool.
Without the projection layer, the user still has to manually draw entry, stop, and target structure after each setup.
Without the review layer, the user has less organized feedback when comparing settings or reviewing behavior across time.
For that reason, the script is intended as a single first-touch supply and demand reaction framework, not as a random collection of unrelated features.
WHAT THE SCRIPT DOES
The script identifies supply and demand zones from confirmed pivot highs and pivot lows.
Once a zone is created, the script can continue to monitor it and decide whether it should remain only as a structural reference or whether it qualifies for deeper evaluation inside the reaction framework.
Depending on settings, the script can:
- draw supply and demand zones,
- create zones from the chart timeframe,
- create zones from a selected higher timeframe,
- merge nearby zones of the same type,
- classify zones using an internal quality model,
- detect first-touch BUY or SELL reactions,
- project entry, stop loss, and take profit structure,
- retain historical projected trades on the chart,
- summarize projected behavior in performance and daily review panels.
This allows the chart to function not only as a zone map, but also as a structured review environment for the script’s own reaction model.
HOW THE SCRIPT WORKS
1) SUPPLY AND DEMAND ZONE CONSTRUCTION
The script uses pivot highs and pivot lows to define structural areas.
A pivot high can produce a supply zone.
A pivot low can produce a demand zone.
Rather than treating a pivot as one exact price, the script expands the pivot into a zone using a configurable pip-based thickness. This is important because many traders interpret supply and demand as areas rather than as single lines.
The script can build zones from:
- the current chart timeframe,
- a selected higher timeframe,
- or both at the same time.
If nearby zones of the same type are close enough to one another, the script can merge them into a broader structural area. This is meant to reduce overlap and make the displayed structure easier to read.
2) CONFIRMED ZONE LOGIC
The script includes a minimum-touch setting for confirmed zones.
This setting allows users to distinguish between:
- zones that have merely been detected,
- and zones that have accumulated enough interaction to be considered more established.
Different traders interpret this differently. Some prefer relatively fresh zones. Others prefer zones that have already shown repeated market interaction. The script is designed to support both approaches through settings rather than by forcing one interpretation.
3) TOUCH DETECTION
Zone interaction can be recognized using:
- wick touch,
- body touch,
- or both.
This affects how strict or permissive the model is when determining whether price has returned into a zone.
A wick-based model can capture sharp rejections that only briefly enter the area.
A body-based model is stricter and may reduce noise.
Using both provides broader coverage.
This means the same structural framework can be adapted to different preferences without changing the core logic of the script.
4) IMPULSE VALIDATION
Not every pivot represents meaningful structure.
Some pivots are formed during weak, indecisive, or noisy movement. To reduce that problem, the script can apply an impulse filter around the pivot that created the zone.
The impulse filter can evaluate factors such as:
- candle direction,
- candle range relative to ATR,
- candle body size relative to ATR,
- close location near the candle extreme,
- optional relative-volume participation.
The purpose of this filter is not to predict future direction by itself. Its purpose is simply to reduce zones that were formed without enough directional commitment.
5) QUALITY ENGINE
After a zone is created, the script can score it using an internal quality model.
The quality engine can consider:
- displacement after formation,
- reaction size after the first touch,
- penetration depth into the zone,
- repeated-touch penalty.
That information is then used to classify zones into internal grades such as:
- A,
- B,
- TRASH.
These grades are not guarantees and should not be interpreted as objective truth. They are simply the script’s own ranking method for separating stronger and weaker structural candidates under the current settings.
Users can keep all zones visible or restrict the workflow to higher-grade zones only.
6) FIRST-TOUCH REACTION MODEL
The central idea of the script is first-touch selection.
Rather than treating every revisit of a zone as equally important, the script attempts to detect the earliest qualifying return into a valid zone.
This makes the script more specific than:
- a basic supply and demand overlay,
- a general touch-alert tool,
- or a repeated-contact zone script.
For traders who consider early reactions to be structurally important, this framework may be useful because it intentionally avoids reacting in the same way to every later revisit of the same area.
7) TRADE PROJECTION LAYER
When a valid first-touch reaction is detected, the script can project a structured trade framework on the chart.
Depending on settings, this can include:
- BUY or SELL labels,
- an entry reference,
- stop loss,
- take profit,
- guide lines,
- TP and SL boxes,
- retained historical visual structure for later review.
This projection layer is not meant to claim that a setup will succeed. Its purpose is to reduce manual chart annotation and make the script’s reaction logic easier to inspect after the fact.
8) REVIEW PANELS
The script includes review panels that summarize projected historical behavior.
Depending on available chart history and current settings, the review may include metrics such as:
- total projected trades,
- wins,
- losses,
- win rate,
- profit factor,
- average result,
- net result,
- drawdown behavior,
- streak behavior.
A separate daily panel summarizes projected daily behavior according to the script’s configured timezone logic.
These panels are review tools only. They do not replace formal strategy testing, execution analysis, or live validation, and they should not be interpreted as promises of future performance.
WHAT MAKES THIS SCRIPT ORIGINAL
This script uses familiar technical-analysis building blocks such as pivots, ATR, candle structure, relative range expansion, optional volume comparison, and zone interaction logic.
Those building blocks are not original by themselves.
The originality of this script is not in inventing a completely new primitive indicator. The originality lies in how these familiar elements are arranged into one selective workflow:
pivot-based zone construction
→ optional multi-timeframe structure sourcing
→ impulse validation
→ quality scoring
→ first-touch selection
→ trade projection
→ on-chart review
That full sequence is the main reason this script exists as its own publication.
It is not intended to be simply another pivot tool, another ATR-based filter, or another chart dashboard. It is specifically a first-touch supply and demand reaction framework that combines structure detection, formation filtering, zone ranking, selective reaction logic, projection, and review in one workflow.
WHAT APPEARS ON THE CHART
Depending on settings, the chart may display:
- supply zones,
- demand zones,
- higher-timeframe zones,
- confirmed-zone coloring,
- zone labels,
- zone grades,
- BUY and SELL markers,
- entry / stop / target lines,
- TP / SL boxes,
- review panel,
- daily review panel.
Users who want a cleaner chart can disable some visual layers and keep only the ones most relevant to their workflow.
HOW TO USE THE SCRIPT
A practical workflow is:
1. Add the script to a standard candlestick chart.
2. Decide whether you want zones from the chart timeframe, from a higher timeframe, or from both.
3. Choose how strict touch detection should be by using wick touch, body touch, or both.
4. Enable the impulse filter if you want to reduce weaker pivot-based formations.
5. Enable the quality engine if you want to rank zones and restrict the workflow to stronger structural candidates.
6. Select the minimum accepted grade if you want stricter setup filtering.
7. Wait for a qualifying first-touch BUY or SELL reaction.
8. Use the projected entry, stop, and target structure as an analysis framework rather than as a blind instruction.
9. Review how prior projected setups behaved under the same settings.
10. Combine the script’s output with market context, execution rules, and risk management.
This script is best understood as a structured decision-support and chart-review tool, not as a fully self-sufficient trading system.

IMPORTANT PRACTICAL NOTE ON PIP VALUE
The script uses a Pip Value setting to convert internal pip-based distances into actual price distances.
This matters because different instruments use different decimal structures.
If zones, stop loss, take profit, or projected distances appear too compressed, too large, or otherwise inconsistent for the instrument being analyzed, the first setting to verify is Pip Value.
On some symbols, especially small-decimal forex instruments, this setting may need adjustment for the script’s structural and projection logic to behave as intended.
LIMITATIONS AND SHORTCOMINGS
This script has important limitations:
- It relies on pivot confirmation, so some structural elements are recognized only after a confirmation delay.
- Zone behavior can vary across symbols, brokers, spreads, sessions, and volatility regimes.
- Higher-timeframe zones depend on the selected timeframe and can materially change the number and spacing of setups.
- The quality engine is a ranking model, not an objective truth detector.
- The review panels reflect the script’s own projected logic and settings, not guaranteed tradable outcomes.
- The script can be sensitive to pip-conversion settings on some markets.
- First-touch logic is selective by design, so it may ignore later reactions that some traders would still consider relevant.
- No zone model can remove all false signals or all regime-dependent behavior.
For those reasons, the script should be used as a structured analysis and review framework, not as a promise of future profitability.
WHO THIS SCRIPT MAY BE USEFUL FOR
This script may be useful for traders who:
- study supply and demand behavior,
- care more about first-return reactions than repeated retests,
- want structural filtering rather than raw touch alerts,
- want automatic trade mapping for chart review,
- want historical on-chart review of projected outcomes.
It may be less suitable for traders who:
- want every zone retest marked,
- want a minimal chart with almost no overlays,
- want a finished strategy that requires no outside confirmation or discretion.
