Zones (RTX)

The Zones Indicator is designed to automate the identification of zones between a range of prices over a series of bars/time. The primary motivation for the creation of this indicator is to identfy consolidation zones where price remains in a given range over a minimum period bars or time. An Extend Naked option extends the zones until the zone is filled by future price movement. As an example, Zones can identify when price remained in a 10 tick range over a series of 20 bars or more, and once breaking that range, it can extend the naked band until price moves back across the zone.

Presentation

 

Zones Prefs

  • Zone - Options for "Price Range <=", "First X Minutes of Session", "First X Bars of Session", "Open Gap", "Fractal", "Price Range >=", "Open Range", "Zipper Bars (Renko)", "Overlapping Prices", and "Thrust Bars" (see description below).  The Price Range can be specified in Ticks, Price ($), or ATR Multiple.
  • For Minimum of X Bars - When the Zone basis is "Price Range", the Min Bars setting dictates the minimum number of bars price must remain in that range in order to justify a confirmed zone.
  • Zone Color - Border and Fill colors for the zone rectangle.
  • Extend Naked - Naked extension of the zone that continues until the zone is completely filled. Options for fill and border colors for the extension.
  • Support Zones - When Support Zones is turned on, the naked extensions will be colored using support fill/border color when the initial breakout of the zone was to the up side.  Otherwise, the extension will be considered resistance and use the "extend naked" fill/border colors.
  • Extend  - All Zones, Last X Zones, Last X Sessions.  Controls which zones will extend naked extensions.
  • Terminate Extensions At End of Session - If checked, the naked extensions will be terminated at end of each session and will not stretch from one session to the next.
  • Label Price - Labels the high and low price of each zone.
  • Highlight Minimum Bar Zone - Highlights the initial zone that was created when minimum bar count was first met.
  • New Zone Alert - Alert/Action when a new zone is formed.
