Best Support and Resistance Indicator.

Recommended Posts

There are many ideas about support and resistance indicators... depending on the platforms you trade on...

 

The ones I like best and use are:

 

APA Zones (dynamic supply and demand zones) on NT, TS, and MT4

 

anaPivotZones (support resistance lines) on NT platform

Hi SadScorpion

 

IMO choosing highs & lows are fragile & risky support/resistance Bcoz they are out of range, or in an Xtrm volatility zone (like spikes) ;

they are tests 2 find a compromise accepted by all... or a possible break out !!!

 

Who knows ?

 

Who will take care of irrationnality and base their decision on it ?

 

***********************

 

But the moment when big hands Xchange there contracts in a range, identified by volumes, is a very interesting zone of support/resistance lines.

 

Bcoz When Prices moves with a (good ;=)) signal, contrarian traders + scalpers moves back price to these lines, and they Bcome very secure points of entry in the identified trend.

 

Then, last support/resistance lines starts 2 B a secure take profit zone or, if it is a BreakOut, leaving time 2 the trend 2 develop itself until new support/resistance lines appears 2 sold the position.

Hi Johnny

 

ThanX 4 the interesting TRO links.

 

Why and when a price become 2 B a Support or a Resistance, is that the question ?

 

My graph is not based on High & Low Elliott Fibo retracements, even tho it looks like this.

but rather a full strategy based on identified zones of price/Volume/Time ( POC) Support/Resistance.

nota bene

 

 

Volume by Price bars prices should be watched as potential support/resistance during a pullback.

 

it is important to understand how Volume by Price works.

 

Current Volume by Price bars should not be used to validate past support or resistance levels because the indicator is based on all the price-volume data shown on the chart.

 

This means six months of data for a chart that extends from January to June.

It may appear as Volume by Price identified support in March, but keep in mind that the indicator data extends well beyond March, which is essentially the future.

 

To effectively identify support or resistance in March, the chart needs to end at or before March, not after March !!!

 

 

For this reason we need to draw FIXED lines at EACH identified POC.

 

Then, we will use these identified estimated different sup/res lines in the near future time axis to open a position in an eventual pullback.

( secure entries and Take Profit Zone ( reversals ?) on the graph below).

 

Watching a moving POC (Point Of Control) in a "Market Profile" in a data playback mode will illustrate well this moving concept.

SR.. There's that newer volatility based S/R. I like swings and Fib clusters.. The best/most reliable is a special case - a lot of you have seen it - where price is moving in a channel (i notice it particularly in bear channels) and price will come up to the resistance TL.. often couples with candles, momentum signals, even cycles. That's probably the best trade, just not terribly frequent.

 

Generally... s/r for me is TL s/r. INDICATOR. Ah, right. In the indicator case... i hear market profile is worth looking at?? Maybe getting some order book numbers archived and correlated to prices over time?

Yeah, I like it too. It's good for S/R on the small timeframes and supply/demand on the larger ones. The thing that I think is the best is the fact that it gives you the area where the turn is expected. The market is dynamic and we have to be dynamic. Price doesn't always turn on a line but making it an area really turned my trading around. They even have trading plans and videos from other traders then the creator. I just think that's really cool.

Support and Resistance MetaTrader indicator — as the name of this indicator suggests, it displays the support and resistance levels. It shows them directly on the chart, providing an easy help when you want to set stop-loss or take-profit level, or when you want to see the next market target. This indicator uses the standard MetaTrader Fractals indicator (by Bill Williams' method) and has no changeable input parameters. This indicator is available for MetaTrader version 4 and 5.

    • Date: 28th March 2025.   Market Selloff Deepens as Tariff Concerns Weigh on Investors     Global stock markets extended their losing streak for a third day as concerns over looming US tariffs and an escalating trade war dampened investor sentiment. The flight to safety saw gold prices surge to a record high, underscoring growing risk aversion. Stock Selloff Intensifies The MSCI World Index recorded its longest losing streak in a month, while Asian equities saw their sharpest decline since late February. US and European stock futures also signalled potential weakness, while cryptocurrency markets retreated and bond yields edged lower. Investors are scaling back their exposure ahead of President Donald Trump’s expected announcement of ‘reciprocal tariffs’ on April 2. His latest move to impose a 25% levy on all foreign-made automobiles has sparked fresh concerns over inflation and economic growth, prompting traders to reassess their strategies. Investor Strategies Shift Market experts are adjusting their portfolios in anticipation of heightened volatility. ‘It’s impossible to predict Trump’s next move,’ said Xin-Yao Ng of Aberdeen Investments. ‘Our focus is on companies that are less vulnerable to tariff policies while taking advantage of market dips to find value opportunities.’ Yield Curve Signals Economic Concerns In the bond market, the spread between 30-year and 5-year US Treasury yields widened to its highest level since early 2022. Investors are bracing for potential Federal Reserve rate cuts if economic growth slows further. Long-term Treasury yields hit a one-month peak as inflation risks tied to tariffs spurred demand for higher-yielding assets. Boston Fed President Susan Collins noted that while tariffs may contribute to short-term price increases, their long-term effects remain uncertain. Gold Hits Record High as Safe-Haven Demand Rises Amid market turbulence, gold prices soared 0.7% on Friday, reaching an all-time high of $3,077.60 per ounce. Major banks have raised their price targets for the precious metal, with Goldman Sachs now forecasting gold to hit $3,300 per ounce by year-end. Looking Ahead As investors digest economic data showing US growth acceleration in Q4, attention will turn to Friday’s release of the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index—the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation measure. This data will be critical in shaping expectations for future Fed policy moves. With markets on edge and trade tensions escalating, investors will closely monitor upcoming developments, particularly Trump’s tariff announcement next week, which could further dictate market direction.   Always trade with strict risk management.
