Support and Resistance Indicator for MetaTrader 4
This indicator is built on real swing-pivot detection, offering a more robust approach than simple highest/lowest-over-N-bars calculations. Nearby pivots are automatically clustered into zones, and these zones are ranked by how many times price has tested them. The touch count is displayed directly on the chart (e.g., "x8"), allowing traders to quickly identify proven levels.
The indicator features adaptive zone thickness and dynamically adjusts the number of zones displayed to maintain chart readability. Pivots that are close together on lower timeframes are visually separated, preventing overlap. Zones that are distant from the current price are hidden, ensuring that only relevant levels are visible.
An optional higher-timeframe context feature overlays zones from a longer timeframe (e.g., H4 levels on an H1 chart) in a distinct color. This feature is automatically disabled if it would duplicate the chart's own timeframe context.
Proximity alerts (pop-up and sound) are included to notify traders when price approaches a significant zone. A cooldown period prevents excessive alerts.
Key Features:
- Swing-pivot detection with configurable strength (not based on crude range highs/lows).
- Zone clustering with touch-count strength ranking.
- Adaptive zone thickness ensures zones never visually overlap, regardless of the timeframe.
- Distance-based relevance filter to minimize chart clutter.
- Optional higher-timeframe context zones, automatically disabled when redundant.
- Proximity alerts (pop-up and sound) with a cooldown feature.
- Free with full source code; open for questions.
