Advanced Support & Resistance Zone Detection Indicator: A Comprehensive Overview


The "Advanced Support & Resistance Zone Detection" indicator, developed by @HarryCTC, is a powerful tool designed to identify support and resistance levels in trading markets. This indicator helps traders identify areas where the price is likely to encounter obstacles and potentially reverse its direction. By understanding these key levels, traders can make more informed decisions and improve their overall trading strategies.


This indicator is based on the Williams Fractal Indicator.


The indicator employs a fractal-based approach to identify support and resistance levels. Fractals are patterns that indicate potential price reversals. The indicator scans the price data and looks for specific fractal patterns that signify the presence of support or resistance.

For support levels, the indicator searches for downward fractals, where a lower low is formed surrounded by higher lows on both sides. This pattern suggests a potential support level as the price has temporarily stopped declining and may reverse its direction.

Conversely, for resistance levels, the indicator looks for upward fractals, where a higher high is formed surrounded by lower highs on both sides. This pattern indicates a potential resistance level where the price has temporarily halted its ascent and may reverse downwards.

The indicator applies certain conditions and filters to ensure the significance of the identified support and resistance levels. These conditions prevent the inclusion of minor price fluctuations and focus on capturing major turning points in the market.

Once a support or resistance level is detected, the indicator plots it on the chart either as a zone or a line, based on user preferences. The indicator also keeps track of previously identified levels and updates them as new levels are found.

By utilizing fractal analysis, the "Advanced Support & Resistance Zone Detection" indicator provides traders with valuable insights into key levels where price reversals are likely to occur. Traders can use this information to plan their entries, exits, and overall trading strategies more effectively.




The indicator utilizes several input parameters that allow users to customize its behavior according to their preferences and trading styles. Let's explore each of these parameters in detail:

1. Periods: This parameter determines the number of periods considered when identifying support and resistance levels. It indicates the length of the lookback period used to analyze price action and detect potential zones.

2. S&R Distance: The S&R distance parameter specifies the minimum distance, in pips, between the identified support and resistance levels. It helps filter out insignificant price fluctuations and focuses on significant price zones.

3. Number of S&R Levels to Show: This parameter controls the maximum number of support and resistance levels displayed on the chart. Users can set the desired number to avoid cluttering the chart with excessive information.

4. Draw S&R Zones: If enabled, this parameter allows the indicator to draw support and resistance zones on the chart. These zones represent areas where price reversals are likely to occur. Traders can visually analyze the chart and observe the significance of these zones.

5. Draw S&R Lines: This parameter determines whether the indicator should draw lines representing support and resistance levels on the chart. These lines provide a clear visual representation of the detected levels.

6. Resistance Zone Color: Users can customize the color of the resistance zones drawn on the chart. By choosing distinct colors, traders can easily differentiate between support and resistance zones.

7. Support Zone Color: Similarly, this parameter allows users to specify the color of the support zones displayed on the chart.

8. Resistance Line Color: Traders can choose the color of the lines representing resistance levels. This color customization helps in visually distinguishing resistance levels from other elements on the chart.

9. Support Line Color: This parameter determines the color of the lines representing support levels.

10. S&R Zone & Line Extension: The S&R zone and line extension parameter defines the extension of support and resistance zones and lines to the right side of the chart. It provides traders with a visual projection of the potential future behavior of these levels.

11. S&R Line Width: Users can adjust the width of the lines representing support and resistance levels. This customization option helps traders emphasize or de-emphasize these lines based on their preferences.
