Support & Resistance Zones Strength Classifier turns scattered pivots into a ranked structure map. Pivot highs and lows landing near the same price are clustered into a single S/R zone rather than a fan of separate lines, and every zone is graded by how many times price has respected it, a practical spin on zone scoring. Thickness adapts to volatility through average bar range, overlapping zones merge with their test counts combined, and any zone price closes through is removed on the spot.

How to Trade the Support & Resistance Zones Strength Classifier?

  • Opacity is the ranking: faint zones are new or lightly tested; solid zones have absorbed repeated reactions and can carry a test-count label.
  • Trade the reactions: the zones suit pullback entries, stops beyond structure, reversal confirmation at tested areas, and continuation after a retest.
  • Respect removals: a candle close beyond a boundary deletes the zone. What remains is live structure.
  • Mind role reversal: broken resistance often returns as support and vice versa, useful when planning breakout-and-retest trades.

Every zone traces back to confirmed pivots: validated structure, not projection.

Support & Resistance Zones Strength Classifier Settings

  • Pivot Lookback: bars required on both sides to confirm a pivot; higher values catch major swings, lower ones track finer structure.
  • Zone Width (dist Multiplier): vertical thickness, scaled from average bar range.
  • Minimum Tests to Highlight: reactions required before a zone is visually emphasized.
  • Max Active Zones Per Type: caps how many support and resistance zones stay on the chart.
  • Max Zone Height (dist Multiplier): deletes zones stretched too far by over-merging.
  • Colors and test-count labels are adjustable; zones always extend to the current bar.
