Bjorgum Key Levels
Key Levels Aims to capture 3 of the most significant points in price action
Breakouts
False Breakouts (Traps)
Back Checks
These 3 points alone, if properly identified, can be some of the most significant points of movement in the price history of an asset and bring significant gains to traders, if capitalized on. Here are a few examples of these setups
Breakouts
Breakouts can bring significant rallies as the market swings one sided after key levels are breached. This entry type can bring large trending runs to follow. Momentum is on your side, but the trade off is a higher entry.
False Breakouts
Also known as a bull trap or a bear trap, false breaks can lead to swift and significant reversals and potential for a large and sudden move to the opposite side. When a key level breakout fails to hold, parties entering to capitalize on the "epic breakout" can get left holding the bag forcing them to exit at a loss, which can double the force of pressure. Traps can bring swift gains from good entry prices. However, price is still in a larger trend against you so momentum is weak, so price action is susceptible to roll over.
Backchecks
Back checks are pull backs in trend that find middle ground to the 2 areas already described. Both momentum and entry price are decent, but risk is defined as a key level has flipped offering entry with stops below demand, or above supply.
Combining these 3 methods helps to diversify risk, understand trend development, and bring steady gains. This script helps to identify these points to traders with analysis of key levels, price structure, and trend direction, while providing visual signals and alerts for when they occur.
Best of luck in your coding and trading and thank you for your support

Strongholds - Objective & Accurate Reference Points / StructuresVery early in my trading career, I came across Pivot Points only to find out that there are as many calculations as one pleases. It was hard to find out which ones work. Most of them probably did only out of randomness, so I ditched the strategy and looked for something else.
I previously used my Oracle Eye and Reference Points scripts but it is time for an upgrade.
Stronghold is a script I have used for quite some time now. I ditched daily and weekly closing prices as not that important. Instead, Strongholds are equipped with:
►Daily High & Low • Azure color
►Weekly High & Low • Dark blue
►Weekly old High & Low • Semi-transparent dark circles
►Monthly High & Low • Wizardly purple
There is an option to print:
►4h High & Low • Semi-transparent red
►VWAP • Lovely purple
►Weekly VWAP • Black
All of the levels and lines are set for 1m, 5m, 10m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 4h, 1D timeframes. If you use any alien timeframe, you may need to enter the code.
You can opt-in and out for certain timeframes. For example, daily levels are visible from 15m or 30, so the indicator won't draw them unless you want to. However, they will not be seen on higher timeframes as there is no reason to show them and oversaturate the chart with lines.

Remember that if you use this script with auto-scale, you need to tick Scale Price Chart Only . Otherwise, your chart will fly to the moon!
Good luck & have fun!
Dynamic Structure IndicatorThis is a dynamic structure indicator designed to map potential support and resistance zones (in all markets). It does this by looking back x amount of candles to identify major swing highs and lows on the specified reference timeframe, and then it draws a zone between the highest/lowest wick and the highest/lowest candle close across the chart until a new zone is created.
The settings are important because it gathers data from a separate reference timeframe, so sometimes it will map zones that aren’t really appropriate for lower timeframes. On lower timeframes (1Hr and under) I’d recommend setting the reference timeframe to your actual trading timeframe and increasing the lookback period to fine-tune the zone mapping. The script is set for 4 Hour forex charts by default.
Please note: the max zone option is disabled by default because it is different for every instrument, but this is a useful feature that I recommend using. Sometimes the indicator picks up huge gaps that aren’t really considered support or resistance zones. If this happens to you, use the zone size settings to invalidate huge (or tiny) zones. The zone size is in pips.
To be honest I didn’t get this indicator to be quite as accurate as I envisioned and it’s still a work in progress as I learn pine script, but this is the best I’ve been able to get it to function and with the right settings it works fairly well so I figured I might as well release this first version. Maybe someone with better skills than me can help refine it to more accurately identify major fractals and levels - if so, please get in touch! All traders should be able to identify their own major levels by eye anyway, but this script is intended to be a building block for future signal indicators I wish to develop.
Last of all - please don’t use this indicator to trade blindly! Often price will blast right through these zones and the zones aren’t always accurate. Remember that structure levels only work if they’re obvious to other traders, and always wait for confirmation signals that meet your trade plan rules before entering trades – especially reversals or counter-trend trades.
If you have any questions or tips to improve the script, feel free to leave a comment or private message me.
Enjoy, and good luck out there :)
