Support Line [by rukich]🟠 OVERVIEW
The indicator displays a floating line that acts as a support level. It's important to remember that any support level can be broken.
🟠 COMPONENTS
The indicator is based on the percentage difference between the closes of the n-th bar back and the current bar. The resulting percentage is smoothed to remove noise.
The indicator is displayed as a green-red line (the colors don’t carry meaning — they are used just for visual variety). When the price touches the support level, the bar background turns green.
For convenience, there is a label on the right side of the indicator showing the current value of the line.
🟠 HOW TO USE
The indicator includes several settings that can be adjusted, though optimal defaults are provided.
Settings:
Timeframe — specifies which timeframe’s data is used to calculate the line.
Candles back — specifies how many bars back from the current one are used.
The indicator should be used according to general support-zone logic. Since no support zone guarantees a price bounce, the optimal approach is to confirm the reaction after the price touches the line.
Example of use:
In the current example, the Timeframe in the indicator settings is set to 1 hour, and the currently open chart is 5 minutes. This means that on the 5-minute chart we see a 1-hour line. After the price touches the support line, you need to see a confirmation of the reaction to understand whether the support zone is holding the price.
In the examples, reaction confirmation is shown through: the formation of an M5 shift and the invalidation of an FVG M5- (the latter is more risky than the M5 shift):
🟠 CONCLUSION
The indicator shows a floating support zone, and when tested, you should confirm the reaction on a lower timeframe.
Rebound
Deviations from ARL (DARL)Similar to Bollinger Bands, this indicator uses standard deviations but from Adaptive Rebound Lines (See: 'ARL').
The adaptiveness of the 'ARL' is further affected by volatility and helps greatly in spotting the possible strength and direction of rebounds.
All this information is presented with minimal lag thanks to the rebound qualities of the 'ARL' adapting to market volatility.
----- HOW TO USE IT -----
1) Use with 1h time frame.
2) Smaller width typically means that price will be moving is smaller movements.
3) Small price movements while the width is increasing typically means that a large price move will occur soon.
4) Larger width typically means that price will be moving in larger movements.
5) Very large width with sideways price typically means that the price will have a bias towards the center.
Note: A V-Offset of 1 is also a good setting alternative for this indicator.
----- HOW THIS INDICATOR IS ORIGINAL; WHAT IT DOES AND HOW IT DOES IT -----
This indicator has an original, unique ability in anticipating the strength and direction of a price rebound while at the same time showing the bias of the rebound with minimal lag.
It does this by letting the adaptive qualities of the 'ARL' be affected by market volatility, not just by price movement alone.
----- VERSION -----
This indicator is not a variation, replacement, or presentation of the 'ARL' or the 'ARL' Bands -- it merely derives its base calculations for standard deviations from the 'ARL'.
However, this indicator affects the calculations of the standard 'ARL' with volatility and creates a new, unique calculation.
It thus presents a totally different context for price action.
A standard 'ARL' helps in finding possible rebounds but it does not help in finding the strength of them or the directional bias of a rebound.
This is because a standard 'ARL' is more negligent of market volatility and adapts to price movement alone.
In contrast, this indicator does help in anticipating the strength and direction of the rebound because it adapts deviations from an 'ARL' to market volatility.
Therefore, the lines cannot be adjusted individually but in pairs and only further from their respective, mirroring lines.
