Using Rolling Highs and Lows to Mark Support and Resistance Zones

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This brief description outlines a support and resistance indicator built from rolling minimum and maximum prices over a chosen number of bars. It uses those extrema to form average levels, then combines multiple levels to suggest the prevailing trend and possible areas of support or resistance. The only usage guidance is to treat it like other support and resistance indicators.

The description gives no formula for combining levels, lookback guidance, chart examples, or empirical testing. It does not explain how to confirm a zone, define entries or exits, or manage false signals. The levels should therefore be understood as a simple visual aid rather than a validated trading strategy; their usefulness depends on the chosen period and market context.

Key ideas

  • The indicator computes rolling price minima and maxima over a selected bar period.
  • It averages extrema into levels that may indicate support or resistance.
  • Combining several levels is presented as a way to infer a trend and potential zones.
  • The description gives no parameter guidance or evidence that the levels predict price behavior.
