Description & Settings
Related: ATR Ranked Support and Resistance Zones - another powerful indicator for MetaTrader 5 traders.
the basic idea behind the indicator is to check for bouncebacks between support and resistance levels. there are two input parameters: period and overlook. a support level is the lowest low in the last period bars if this value is equal to the lowest low of the last period+overlook bars. a resistance level is the highest high in the last period bars if it is equal to the highest high of the last period+overlook bars. if there are both support and resistance levels and a bounceback happens (price is between these levels) the support and resistance levels will be displayed on the chart.
Also recommended: support and resistance detection with zig zag - similar indicator with strong performance on MetaTrader 5.
in the original indicator the i integer runs from period+overlook until rates_total, so the for cycle is for(i = rates_total-3;i<rates_total;i++). but for some reason i had to change that to validate my code.You may also like: snr sentinel: adaptive support & resistance indicator for mt5 - excellent alternative for indicator users on MetaTrader 5.
