Advanced Supply & Demand Zones Indicator

The Advanced Supply & Demand Zones indicator automatically identifies and plots institutional trading zones where major market participants are likely to enter or exit positions. These zones represent areas of significant imbalance between buyers and sellers, offering high-probability trading opportunities.

Understanding Supply and Demand in Trading

Supply and demand zones are areas on a chart where price has previously shown a significant reaction. Unlike traditional support and resistance lines, these zones represent areas where institutional orders are likely to be placed.

• Supply Zones: Areas where selling pressure is likely to overcome buying pressure
• Demand Zones: Areas where buying pressure is likely to overcome selling pressure

Key Features

• Automatic identification of fresh supply and demand zones
• Zone strength classification (weak, moderate, strong)
• Zone age tracking with visual degradation
• Multi-timeframe analysis capability
• Customizable zone appearance and filtering options
• Optional alerts for zone interactions

How This Indicator Works

The indicator uses a proprietary algorithm to identify price movements that suggest institutional activity:

1. Base Formation: Identifies consolidation areas before sharp moves
2. Imbalance Detection: Measures the strength and speed of moves away from bases
3. Zone Creation: Creates zones based on the base areas where imbalance originated
4. Zone Tracking: Monitors how price interacts with zones over time
5. Zone Strength: Evaluates and categorizes zones based on multiple factors

Trading Strategies

Reversal Strategy

1. Wait for price to approach a strong supply or demand zone
2. Look for confirmation signals (candlestick patterns, divergence, etc.)
3. Enter when price shows the first sign of respecting the zone
4. Place stop loss beyond the zone
5. Take profit at the next opposing zone or at a predetermined risk-reward ratio

Breakout Strategy

1. Identify when price is approaching a supply or demand zone
2. Prepare for a potential breakout if the zone fails
3. Enter in the direction of the breakout if price closes beyond the zone
4. Place stop loss inside the broken zone
5. Target the next significant zone in the direction of the breakout
