Strong Historical Levels
This professional-grade solution for MetaTrader 5 helps traders achieve greater efficiency in their daily workflow. This technical indicator acts as a specialized analysis tool designed to visualize market data. It helps traders identify emerging trends, momentum shifts, and key support or resistance levels by plotting statistical calculations directly onto price charts.
How to Setup and Use Strong Historical Levels
1. Installation: Place your file in the MQL/Indicators folder via "Open Data Folder" and restart your terminal.
2. Loading: Find the indicator in the Navigator, drag it onto your chart, and configure the input parameters in the popup window.
3. Customization: Press Ctrl+I to open the indicator list, select your tool, and click "Properties" to change colors, levels, or visual styles.
4. Updating: Replace the old file in the Indicators folder with the new version and restart the platform to apply changes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is my indicator not showing? A: Verify the file is in the MQL/Indicators folder, or try right-clicking the "Indicators" tree in the Navigator and clicking "Refresh."
Q: Do custom indicators slow down the platform? A: Too many complex indicators can impact performance; remove unused ones via the "Indicator List" (Ctrl+I).
Q: Can I use MT4 indicators on MT5? A: No, MQL4 and MQL5 are distinct languages; ensure the indicator is compiled specifically for your platform version.
Description & Settings
Historical Levels
are prices over life time of a symbol which technically believed as most repeated prices. From financial point of view, these prices are important limits of economical conditions of a financial environment which is shadowed over dedicated symbol chart. There are scientific materials shows these levels has linkage to financial limits/phases which price/rate can not easily pass those levels unless financial phase changes for considered symbol. These are strong reasons that a trader has to empower their market analyses with Historical Levels.
I tried to create a structural view on these levels from candle formation analyses point of view. Price/rate behavior over these levels most probably has strong effect on candle shape. As an example, if there is a strong level for a price, we should have a PRICE JUMP because of high amount of money sleeping on that price/rate or its around.
Considering this concept, two rules are developed:
Rule 1
(bull candle on sup. level): if close - low > Jump Factor
Rule 2
(bull candle on res. level): if close - low > Jump Factor & (close-low)/(high-low)>ratio
To make rules more clear two images are prepared.
Image1: jumping from S/R levels with same action (like bull candle on support)
Image 2: jumping from S/R levels but in reverse (like Bull candle under resistance)
Based on these rules (rules are selectable) an indicator developed which gathers data in two different matrix (sup_mat and res_mat). Number of S/R levels obeying selected rules are shown on screen during gathering data. Hense,
()
library used to make a clustering process over gathered data through
K-means method
. Results illustrated as columns of Support and Resistance Levels data.
After enhancing levels, its open a chart with same symbol analysed and then draws all levels(clusters) over that chart according clustering process. Some parameters of indicator can be changed from screen to make it more user-friendly. Here is a brief illustration od screen graphics of tool and its results.

As conclusion, tool is very powerful even if we have to very basic rules and levels are showing strong support and resistance behavior. Adding more rules is possible and code is in an easy mode to make more rules to enhance it. Adding to extra rules, dividing clustering areas and make more dedicated clustering for those areas, searching for max distance taken before retouching levels can be further improvements for tool.
