Flux Charts MTF Supply and Demand Zones (Premium)

Indicator Overview
The Multi-Timeframe Supply & Demand Zones indicator by Flux Charts displays supply and demand zones on multiple timeframes with two different zone detection methods. These zones are commonly known as areas where there are lots of buyers/sellers present in the market.

Adaptive Detection Method

SPY 5m timeframe, October 8 2023

Indicator Settings: (Timeframe: Chart & 15m, Method: Adaptive, Zone Multiplier: 1)

Many times supply and demand scripts try and precisely define conditions that qualify for supply and demand zones. People, however, when locating supply and demand zones manually generally do not take a quantitative approach, rather looking for qualities in price action that have generalized qualities and trends. The adaptive algorithm uniqueness comes from adapting the human approach to work computationally. It generalizes the qualities of supply and demand zones and locates areas in the chart with an acceptable similarity. Specifically, it looks for consolidated areas within the chart that are preceded by a rise or fall in price. The rise or fall length has to be a certain ratio to the consolidation length. If the criteria are met it will draw the zone, if a zone already exists at that price level it will ignore it or merge them if they are different timeframes. This results in a much more consistent ability to identify areas of supply and demand.

Basic Detection Method

The basic detection method looks for areas where price made drastic movements within a small period of time, which could indicate a high level of buyers/sellers at the spot. Thus, these zones are formed and can be used as areas of trading where money is going in/out of the markets.

Multi-Timeframe (MTF) S&D

Flux Charts supply and demand script utilizes MTF. This allows for displaying zones from different timeframes on one chart. Utilizing higher timeframes is a common practice in trading, and it can be easy to forget about key levels & zones on higher timeframes which could cause reversals/bounces.

Here is an example of a 15 minute supply zone formed on the NASDAQ, and with this indicator, you can also see this same 15 minute supply zone while being on a 5 minute candlestick chart, since you have the 15 minute zones enabled in the settings. This indicator offers supply & demand zones on multiple timeframes including the 5 minute, 15 minute, 30 minute, 1 hour, and 4 hour.
