📋 Overview

Support and Resistance (S/R) zones are fundamental to successful trading. RelicusRoad Pro automatically identifies and displays these critical price levels where market reactions are highly probable.

Unlike traditional S/R that uses static lines, our system creates dynamic zones that adapt to market volatility, show strength through color intensity, and update based on recent price action. This gives you a real-time view of where the market is likely to react.

✨ Key Features

🎯

Dynamic Zone Detection

Automatically identifies S/R zones based on multiple price rejections and volume

⚡

Strength Visualization

Color-coded zones show strength levels from weak to institutional-grade

🔧

Breakout Alerts

📊 Visual Representation

🔴

Primary Zone (Strong)

Major resistance with institutional interest

• Tested 3+ times historically
• Strong volume confirmation
• Clear visual boundaries
• Higher probability reactions

🟠

Secondary Zone (Developing)

Emerging levels with growing importance

• 1-2 tests only
• Developing strength
• Potential future importance
• Lower initial probability

🟢

Support Zone

Areas of buying interest and demand

• Historical bounce points
• Volume accumulation
• Stop loss clusters below
• Natural profit targets

🎯 Trading Modes Explained

Bounce Trading

Reversal Best for: Range-bound markets

✓ Enter at zone edges
✓ High probability strategy
✓ Clear stop placement
✓ Defined risk/reward

Breakout Trading

Momentum Best for: Trending conditions

✓ Trade zone breaks
✓ Catch strong moves
✓ Retest entries
✓ Larger profit potential

Zone-to-Zone

Swing Best for: Clear ranges

💡 Best Practices

✅

Wait for price to reach the zone edge before entering trades

✅

Look for confirmation candles (pins, engulfing) at zone boundaries

✅

Use tighter stops when trading zone breakouts vs bounces

✅

Combine with trend direction for higher probability trades

✅

Monitor zone strength - trade stronger zones more aggressively

✅

Be aware of news events that can invalidate technical zones

✅

Track your performance per zone type to optimize strategy

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

❌ Trading Weak Zones

Low probability and frequent failures

✅ Instead: Only trade zones with 3+ historical tests and volume confirmation

❌ Ignoring Market Context

Zones work differently in trends vs ranges

✅ Instead: Adapt strategy to current market conditions and check higher timeframes

❌ Poor Stop Placement

Getting stopped out by normal volatility

✅ Instead: Add ATR-based buffer beyond zone edge for breathing room

❌ Overtrading Every Zone

Not all zones are equal in quality

✅ Instead: Focus on 3-5 major zones per session with highest probability

💡 Advanced Tips

🎯

Multi-Timeframe Confluence

Zones that appear on multiple timeframes (H1, H4, D1) have significantly higher reliability. Always check at least 2 timeframes above your trading timeframe.

📊

Volume Profile Integration

Combine S/R zones with volume profile to identify high volume nodes (HVN) and low volume nodes (LVN). HVN act as magnets, LVN as acceleration points.

⚡

Session-Based Strength

Zone strength varies by session. Asian session respects technical levels more, while London/NY sessions can power through weak zones. Time your trades accordingly.

🔄

Dynamic Zone Width

Adjust zone width based on ATR. In volatile markets, wider zones prevent false signals. In calm markets, tighter zones offer better entries.

💡

The 3-Touch Rule

After the 3rd touch, zones often break. Trade bounces on tests 1-2, prepare for breakouts on test 3, especially with decreasing rejection strength.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How often do zones update?

Zones update continuously based on price action, with major recalculations at each session open. The indicator adapts to new market structure automatically.

Can zones disappear?

Yes, weak zones fade after multiple penetrations or when market structure changes significantly. Strong zones with institutional interest persist much longer.

What's the best timeframe for S/R trading?

M15-H1 for day trading offers the best balance of signal frequency and reliability. H4-D1 for swing trading provides major levels with less noise.

How do I know if a breakout is valid?

Valid breakouts show: strong momentum candles, above-average volume, successful retest of broken zone, and continuation in breakout direction. Wait for candle close beyond zone.

Should I trade all zones equally?

No. Prioritize zones with multiple confluences (round numbers, session highs/lows, Fibonacci levels) and those showing increasing strength through repeated tests.
