Support Resistance Ultimate

By Julien_Eche
Updated
The "Support Resistance ULTIMATE" indicator is a comprehensive tool for traders on the TradingView platform, designed to identify key support and resistance levels using two primary techniques: pivot points and volume data. This indicator provides flexibility and customization, allowing traders to adapt it to their specific trading strategies.

KEY FEATURES

Pivot-Based Levels:
  • This feature calculates support and resistance levels using pivot points, which are derived from the high, low, and close prices of previous trading periods. Pivot points are crucial for forecasting potential market turning points.
  • Users can customize the pivot calculation by selecting the source type (either 'Close' or 'High/Low') and adjusting the lookback periods for both the left and right sides of the pivot calculation. This flexibility allows traders to adapt the indicator to different market conditions and timeframes.

Volume-Based Levels:
  • This option focuses on identifying support and resistance levels based on volume data, specifically the Point of Control (POC). The POC represents the price level with the highest traded volume during a specific time period, reflecting a consensus value among market participants.
  • The indicator includes a rolling POC calculation, allowing traders to dynamically assess areas of significant trading interest that may serve as support or resistance zones.

ADVANTAGES

Customization and Flexibility:
  • Traders can choose between pivot-based and volume-based levels or use both simultaneously, depending on their analysis needs. This dual approach provides a comprehensive view of market dynamics, accommodating various trading styles.
  • The indicator offers customizable color settings for support and resistance lines, enhancing chart readability and allowing traders to personalize their visual analysis.

Enhanced Market Insights:
  • By utilizing pivot points, traders can identify potential reversal or consolidation points, aiding in the prediction of market trends and the establishment of strategic entry and exit points.
  • Volume-based levels provide insights into market sentiment and participation, highlighting areas of strong support or resistance based on trading volume. This can improve risk management and trade execution by identifying high-probability trading zones.

Importance Scoring:
  • The indicator calculates the importance of each level based on the number of touches and the duration it holds. This scoring system helps traders assess the strength of support and resistance levels, with thicker lines indicating more significant levels.

Major Update: This update replaces the Point of Control (POC) method with an Average Volume Price (AVP) approach for calculating volume-based levels. The new version offers improved accuracy and flexibility in identifying support and resistance zones. Users can now adjust the AVP lookback period to fine-tune the indicator's sensitivity to recent price and volume activity, resulting in more relevant levels for various trading timeframes and strategies.

In the end, I changed my mind and went back to a sliding POC approach for volume-based pivots. I think it works better.
