Pivot Support and Resistance Zones with Engulfing-Pattern Signals
Summary
The available excerpt describes a configurable support and resistance strategy built around pivot zones. Users can select daily through yearly pivot periods and choose among several pivot calculation methods. Zone width can be set as a percentage, an ATR multiple, or a fixed price distance; a breakout threshold is intended to require price to move sufficiently beyond a zone before changing its directional state.
The inputs also define engulfing-candle filters, including body-only or full-range engulfing and minimum and maximum candle ranges measured by percentage, ATR, or fixed price distance. The excerpt’s later plotting and table elements show optional EMA confirmation, higher-timeframe EMA confirmation, and long or short signal markers. However, most of the strategy logic is omitted, so the precise entry, exit, stop, and trade-management rules cannot be established from the supplied material. Defaults are described as calibrated for gold on a 15-minute chart, which limits how confidently they can be applied elsewhere. No performance evidence is included.
Key ideas
- Support and resistance zones can be derived from selectable pivot periods and calculation methods.
- Zone width can be defined using percentage, ATR, or fixed-price settings.
- A breakout threshold is intended to filter small moves beyond a zone before a directional transition.
- Engulfing filters can use body or full-range comparisons and configurable size bounds.
- The excerpt shows optional EMA confirmations and signal displays but omits most trading and risk-management logic.
