MTF Support & Resistance

The MTF Support & Resistance indicator identifies critical price levels where market reactions are likely to occur by automatically detecting and projecting support and resistance zones from both the current and higher timeframes.

Usage

The MTF Support & Resistance tool can be used to identify potential reversal points, breakout zones, and trend continuation signals.

• Key Level Identification: The indicator plots solid green lines for current timeframe support and solid red lines for current timeframe resistance.
• Multi-Timeframe Analysis: When enabled, dashed lines represent support and resistance from a dynamically selected higher timeframe. These levels often carry more weight and can be used to confirm the strength of a price reaction or identify major breakout zones.
• Trend and Range Trading: Traders can look for price bounces between these levels for range trading or monitor for clean breaks above resistance (bullish) or below support (bearish) to identify trend shifts.
• Confluence: Stronger signals are often found when a higher timeframe level aligns closely with a current timeframe level, creating a "cluster" of significance.

Details

The indicator calculates levels based on the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined lookback period. It utilizes request.security to fetch data from higher timeframes. The higher timeframe is determined dynamically based on the current chart's resolution (e.g., if on a 5-minute chart, it fetches data from the 15-minute timeframe). The levels are drawn using Pine Script line and label objects, which are updated in real-time. The script is designed to be non-repainting, as it anchors its calculations to historical price action.

Settings

• Lookback Period: Sets the number of historical bars used to calculate the highest highs (resistance) and lowest lows (support).
• Show Higher Timeframe Levels: A toggle to enable or disable the display of support and resistance levels from the next relevant higher timeframe.
