Smart Money Support/Resistance — LiteSmart Money Support/Resistance — Lite
Overview & Methodology
This indicator identifies support and resistance as zones derived from concentrated buying and selling pressure, rather than relying solely on traditional swing highs/lows. Its design focuses on transparency: how data is sourced, how zones are computed, and how the on‑chart display should be interpreted.
Lower‑Timeframe (LTF) Data
The script requests Up Volume, Down Volume, and Volume Delta from a lower timeframe to expose intrabar order‑flow structure that the chart’s native timeframe cannot show. In practical terms, this lets you see where buyers or sellers briefly dominated inside the body of a higher‑timeframe bar.
bool use_custom_tf_input = input.bool(true, title="Use custom lower timeframe", tooltip="Override the automatically chosen lower timeframe for volume calculations.", group=grpVolume)
string custom_tf_input = input. Timeframe("1", title="Lower timeframe", tooltip="Lower timeframe used for up/down volume calculations (default 5 seconds).", group=grpVolume)
import TradingView/ta/10 as tvta
resolve_lower_tf(useCustom, customTF) =>
useCustom ? customTF :
timeframe.isseconds ? "1S" :
timeframe.isintraday ? "1" :
timeframe.isdaily ? "5" : "60"
get_up_down_volume(lowerTf) =>
= tvta.requestUpAndDownVolume(lowerTf)
var float upVolume = na
var float downVolume = na
var float deltaVolume = na
string lower_tf = resolve_lower_tf(use_custom_tf_input, custom_tf_input)
= get_up_down_volume(lower_tf)
upVolume := u_tmp
downVolume := d_tmp
deltaVolume := dl_tmp
• Data source: TradingView’s ta.requestUpAndDownVolume(lowerTf) via the official TA library.
• Plan capabilities: higher‑tier subscriptions unlock seconds‑based charts and allow more historical bars per chart. This expands both the temporal depth of LTF data and the precision of short‑horizon analysis, while base tiers provide minute‑level data suitable for day/short‑swing studies.
• Coverage clarity: a small on‑chart Coverage Panel reports the active lower timeframe, the number of bars covered, and the latest computed support/resistance ranges so you always know the bounds of valid LTF input.
Core Method
1) Data acquisition (LTF)
The script retrieves three series from the chosen lower timeframe:
– Up Volume (buyers)
– Down Volume (sellers)
– Delta (Up – Down)
2) Rolling window & extrema
Over a user‑defined lookback (Global Volume Period), the algorithm builds rolling arrays of completed bars and scans for extrema:
– Buyers_max / Buyers_min from Up Volume
– Sellers_max / Sellers_min from Down Volume
Only completed bars are considered; the current bar is excluded for stability.
3) Price mapping
The extrema are mapped back to their source candles to obtain price bounds:
– For “maximum” roles the algorithm uses the relevant candle highs.
– For “minimum” roles it uses the relevant candle lows.
These pairs define candidate resistance (max‑based) and support (min‑based) zones or vice versa.
4) Zone construction & minimum width
To ensure practicality on all symbols, zones enforce a minimum vertical thickness of two ticks. This prevents visually invisible or overly thin ranges on instruments with tight ticks.
5) Vertical role resolution
When both max‑ and min‑based zones exist, the script compares their midpoints. If, due to local price structure, the min‑based zone sits above the max‑based zone, display roles are swapped so the higher zone is labeled Resistance and the lower zone Support. Colors/widths are updated accordingly to keep the visual legend consistent.
6) Rendering & panel
Two horizontal lines and a filled box represent each active zone. The Coverage Panel (bottom‑right by default) prints:
– Lower‑timeframe in use
– Number of bars covered by LTF data
– Current Support and Resistance ranges
If the two zones overlap, an additional “Range Market” note is shown.
Key Inputs
• Global Volume Period: shared lookback window for the extrema search.
• Lower timeframe: user‑selectable override of the automatically resolved lower timeframe.
• Visualization toggles: independent show/hide controls and colors for maximum (resistance) and minimum (support) zones.
• Coverage Panel: enable/disable the single‑cell table and its readout.
Operational Notes
• The algorithm aligns all lookups to completed bars (no peeking). Price references are shifted appropriately to avoid using the still‑forming bar in calculations.
• Second‑based lower timeframes improve granularity for scalping and very short‑term entries. Minute‑based lower timeframes provide broader coverage for intraday and short‑swing contexts.
• Use the Coverage Panel to confirm the true extent of available LTF history on your symbol/plan before drawing conclusions from very deep lookbacks.
Visual Walkthrough
A step‑by‑step image sequence accompanies this description. Each figure demonstrates how the indicator reads LTF volume, locates extrema, builds price‑mapped zones, and updates labels/colors when vertical order requires it.
Chart Interpretation
This chart illustrates two distinct perspectives of the Smart Money Support/Resistance — Lite indicator, each derived from different lookback horizons and lower-timeframe (LTF) resolutions.
1- Short-term view (43 bars, 10-second LTF)
Using the most recent 43 completed bars with 10-second intrabar data, the algorithm detects that both maximum and minimum volume extrema fall within a narrow range. The result is a clearly identified range market: resistance between 178.15–184.55 and support between 175.02–179.38.
The Coverage Panel (bottom-right) confirms the scope of valid input: the lower timeframe used, number of bars covered, and the resulting zones. This short-term scan highlights how the indicator adapts to limited data depth, flagging sideways structure where neither side dominates.
2 - Long-term view (120 bars, 30-second LTF)
Over a wider 120-bar lookback with higher-granularity 30-second data, broader supply and demand zones emerge.
– The long-term resistance zone captures the concentration of buyers and sellers at the upper boundary of recent price history.
– The long-term support zone anchors to the opposite side of the distribution, derived from maxima and minima of both buying and selling pressure.
These zones reflect deeper structural levels where market participants previously committed significant volume.
Combined Perspective
By aligning the short-term and long-term outputs, the chart shows how the indicator distinguishes immediate consolidation (range market) from more durable support and resistance levels derived from extended history. This dual resolution approach makes clear that support and resistance are not static lines but dynamic zones, dependent on both timeframe depth and the resolution of intrabar volume data.

AutoFib Breakout Strategy for Uptrend AssetsThis trading strategy is designed to help you catch powerful upward moves on assets that are in a long-term uptrend, such as Gold (XAUUSD). It uses a popular technical tool called the Fibonacci Extension, combined with a trend filter and a risk-managed exit system.
✅ When to Use This Strategy
• Works best on higher timeframes: Daily (1D), 3-Day (3D), or Weekly (W).
• Best used on uptrending assets like Gold.
• Designed for swing trading – holding trades from a few days to weeks.
📊 How It Works
1. Find the Trend
We only want to trade in the direction of the trend.
• The strategy uses the 200-period EMA (Exponential Moving Average) to identify if the market is in an uptrend.
• If the price is above the 200 EMA, we consider it an uptrend and allow long trades.
2. Identify Breakout Levels
• The strategy detects recent high and low pivot points to draw Fibonacci extension levels.
• It focuses on the 1.618 Fibonacci level, which is often a target in strong trends.
• When the price breaks above this level in an uptrend, it signals a potential momentum breakout – a good time to buy.
3. Enter a Trade
• The strategy enters a long (buy) position when the price closes above the 1.618 Fibonacci level and the market is in an uptrend (above the 200 EMA).
4. Manage Risk Automatically
• The trade includes a stop-loss set to 1x the ATR (Average True Range) below the entry price – this protects against sudden drops.
• It sets a take-profit at 3x the ATR above the entry – aiming for higher rewards than risks.
⚠️ Important Notes
• 📈 Higher Timeframes Preferred: This strategy works best on Daily (D), 3-Day (3D), and Weekly (W) charts, especially on Gold (XAUUSD).
• 🧪 Not for Deep Backtesting: Due to the nature of how pivot points and Fib levels are calculated, this strategy may not perform well in backtesting simulations (because the historical calculations can shift). It is better used for live analysis and forward testing.

Moving average crossover systems measure drift in the market. They are great strategies for time-limited traders. KEEP IT SIMPLE
This strategy works both for buys and sells using the reaction line to guide your position against the reactions.
HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
1) Choose your market and timeframe.
2) Choose the length.
3) Choose the multiplier.
4) Choose if the strategy is long-only or bidirectional (longs & shorts).
TIPS
The strategy works best in bullish markets as that is the primary direction that market such as stocks, indexes and metals like to move.
- Increase the multiplier to reduce whipsaws
- Increase the length to take fewer trades
- Decrease the length to take more trades
- Try a Long-Only strategy to see if that performs better.
The base set up when you load the indicator is for the 1 minute chart on gold. We found that it also works well on the US Indexes. For other markets you may need to change the length and multiplier to suit the market and back test its results.
XAUUSD Weekly Gap Indicator (oberlunar)The XAUUSD Weekly Gap Indicator is a technical tool designed specifically for tracking weekly price gaps in the XAUUSD (gold) market. It identifies and visualizes the price difference between the Friday close and the Monday open, providing valuable insights into market dynamics over the weekend.
Gap Detection:
Measures the price difference between Friday's closing price and Monday's opening price.
Highlights whether the gap is bullish (Monday opens above Friday’s close) or bearish (Monday opens below Friday’s close).
Visualization:
Draws a line or rectangle to connect the Friday close and the Monday open, clearly marking the gap on the chart.
Displays an indicator label with the gap value, often in pips or points, to quantify the gap size.
Color Coding:
Green: Bullish gap (positive price movement).
Red: Bearish gap (negative price movement).
Market Sentiment:
Large gaps can indicate significant market sentiment shifts due to weekend events, such as economic reports or geopolitical news.
Support and Resistance:
Weekly gaps often act as temporary support or resistance levels, as the market may attempt to revisit or "fill" the gap.
Trading Strategies:
Gap Filling: XAUUSD often tends to "fill" these gaps, providing trading opportunities.
Continuation or Reversal: The reaction to the gap can signal whether the trend is likely to continue or reverse.
