Swing based support and resistanceThis indicator provided here is for identifying swing-based support and resistance levels. It uses two swing lengths, which can be adjusted by the user, to identify swings in the price data. For each swing length, the script calculates the support level as the low of the swing if the trend is up, or the high of the swing if the trend is down. It then plots the support and resistance levels on the chart, along with buy and sell signals.
The buy and sell signals are generated by comparing the current closing price to the support and resistance levels. If the closing price is above the support level, the script plots a buy signal. If the closing price is below the level, the script plots a sell signal.
To use the script, you would first need to add it to your trading platform. Once it is added, you can configure the swing lengths and other parameters to suit your trading style. You can then apply the script to a chart and begin using the support and resistance levels and buy and sell signals to make trading decisions.
Points to be noted while using the indicator:
# The script is designed to be used on a daily chart. However, you can also use it on other timeframes, such as weekly or monthly charts.
# The swing lengths that you choose will depend on your trading style. If you are a swing trader, you may want to use longer swing lengths. If you are a day trader, you may want to use shorter swing lengths.
# Remember, the support and resistance levels generated by the script are not exact price points. They are rather zones where demand and supply can change. Therefore, you should always use other technical analysis tools and indicators to confirm your trading decisions.
# Overall, the script is a useful tool for identifying swing-based support and resistance levels. It can be used by traders of all experience levels to generate trading ideas and improve their trading performance.
To use the swing-based support and resistance indicator with respect to price, you can follow these steps:
=> Identify the support and resistance levels that have been generated by the indicator.
=> Look for price action that is taking place near these levels.
=> If the price is above the level, look for bullish reversals or continuations.
=> If the price is below the level, look for bearish reversals or continuations.
For Example,
=> Bullish reversal: The price is above the level and forms a bullish candlestick pattern, such as a bullish hammer or engulfing pattern.
=> Bullish continuation: The price is above the level and bounces off of the level.
=> Bearish reversal: The price is below the level and forms a bearish candlestick pattern, such as a bearish hammer or engulfing pattern.
=> Bearish continuation: The price is below the level and rejects the level.
$$ You can also use the indicator to identify potential trading entry and exit points. For example, you could enter a long trade when the price breaks above a resistance level and exit the trade when the price retraces to the resistance level. Or, you could enter a short trade when the price breaks below a support level and exit the trade when the price rallies to the support level.
This swing-based support and resistance indicator is just one tool that you can use to trade. You should always use other technical analysis tools and indicators, such as price action and trend analysis, to confirm your trading decisions.
Additionally:
=> Be aware of the overall trend direction. If the trend is up, you should be looking for bullish reversals or continuations. If the trend is down, you should be looking for bearish reversals or continuations.
=> Use a stop loss order to limit your risk on each trade.
=> Consider using a position sizing strategy to manage your risk.
=> Do your own research and backtest any trading strategy before using it in a live trading environment.

TRADERS COMPANION BUY AND SELL INDICATORTHE 'PROBLEM'
A lot of buy and sell strategies are based on price action being at a particular (support) level, crossovers of different moving averages or of price action over moving averages. Whilst this is a safe way to trade, the price paid is lost earnings , whilst one waits for price/moving averages to reach a particular level/configuration. So for instance price may have to move X% before it crosses over a critical level and only then is a trade taken - the X% is usually 'lost'.
THE 'SOLUTION'
My motivation was to write a buy and sell indicator which makes (long) calls as early as possible therefore maximising profits and minimising losses whilst also identifying local tops at which profits may be taken if so desired.
THE METHOD
The philosophy of this indicator is centred around analysis of candlestick parameters for the present candle and comparing these to those of previous candles at set points. The results of these comparisons are then correlated with moving averages of price action and in so doing one is able to detect shift reversals earlier than conventional indicators would. Consequently, a signal can be created very close to the bottom of a rally. In addition, a 'take profit' signal can be created from what has been identified as a local top. Please refer to the attached chart where it becomes evident quite immediately that buy and TP signals allow for maximisation of a given trend, hence maximisation of profits.
MARKETS
The script may be applied to any market i.e. crypto, forex, stocks - as long as there's a chart on Tradingview, it will work.
CONDITIONS
The script works well in all time frames. Obviously at higher time frames one gets 'cleaner' signals since high time frames are themselves a kind of filter, given that lower time frames are 'busy' by nature.
CAVEAT
Whilst great care and attention has been put into polishing and re-polishing this script, it needs to be stated that it's not perfect. Two issues that one needs to be aware of:
1.) Sometimes signals will not be made as early as the actual bottom of a rally.
Mitigation for this is two fold:
a.) Most of the calls made by the script are close to a bottom and therefore profits realised from this are far more than any losses accrued from a late call.
b.) The script should never be used in isolation but along with TA strategies and common sense.
2. Sometimes a 'bad' call will be made.
Mitigation for this is two fold:
a.) The script has a 'smart' feature that calls for exit signals as soon as it's realised that the long call was not a favourable one. This enables one to minimise losses by cutting them quickly.
b.) The script should never be used in isolation but along with TA strategies and common sense.
