Hi,

I have a free support resistance indicator but there are no plots in it. Could someone code plots like breaking down support: go short
bouncing up support: go long
bouncing down resistance: go short
breaking up resistance: go long
I will also upload the indicator in the ninjatrader 8 section

Obviously, he does not know an exact crteria (such as what is the definition for a bounce or a breakout) for the code to generate buy/sell arrows. So, a simple definition for a bounce and breakout may look something like the following to filter some of fake signals:

1. For a Bounce - at least a touch of the S/R zone and one bar closing in the direction of the bounce off of the S/R zone, and
2. For a Breakout - at least one bar closes on the other side of the S/R zone in the direction of the breakout.

As for arrows or signals, he may need both, perhaps arrows and a 1, and -1 signals for Market Aanalizer.

Cheers!

Thanks for the help. Could you also program for the bounce/breakout how many times it touches/breaks. And the number of bars after the breakout/touch.

Not really! More than one or two bounces is an indication that price want to move in its original direction. After a breakout, the price can continue in that direction, retraces back to S/R line, consolidate, rebound back, or turn around for a fake breakout, etc., it all depends on supply/demand and forces behind the move.

It is best to use S/R lines to set profit targets or stops for risk mangement, instead of using S/Rs for entering trades.

Cheers!
