Macro S&D Alpha

Macro S&D Suite: Part 1 of 4 — Macro S&D Alpha Overview

Introduction to Macro S&D Alpha
Macro S&D Alpha focuses on identifying high‑timeframe supply and demand pivots based on key historical price swings and market structure. It is not restricted to any time frame but is suitable for weekly, Daily, 4‑hour, and 1‑hour charts. It reveals the broad zones where institutional participants place large orders. These structural levels form the potential backbone for a trading plan, guiding strategic entry and exit points for traders. Trading the financial markets is not a quick‑rich scheme. It requires dedication to learning, disciplined execution of your trading plan, precise entries and exits, and effective risk management. Your mental and physical well‑being also play a crucial role in consistent performance. This system provides tools to guide you, but success depends on your commitment and responsibility.

How Macro S&D Alpha Works
Historical Swing Analysis: Identifies key high/low pivot points over a user-defined look-back period to capture meaningful inflexion levels in market structure.
Volatility & Structure Filters: Integrates momentum and volatility metrics to confirm only the strongest pivot areas, filtering out noise and low‑volume swings.
Zone Construction & Projection: Draws horizontal supply (resistance) and demand (support) zones based on validated pivots, extending them forward to highlight potential reaction areas.
Dynamic Recalculation: Zones automatically update as new pivots form, ensuring the indicator stays aligned with evolving price action and overall trend.

Plan Entries & Exits: Enter near the zone edge, place stops just beyond the zone, and set profit targets at subsequent structural pivots.
