Fractal Support & Resistance [JOAT]
Fractal Support & Resistance — Automatic Level Detection with Volume Weighting
Fractal Support & Resistance automatically identifies key price levels using a proprietary combination of fractal detection, volume analysis, and dynamic touch counting. Levels are intelligently styled based on their strength and how many times they have been tested, giving you instant visual feedback on level importance.
Why This Script is Protected
This script is published as closed-source to protect the proprietary level management algorithm and the unique volume-weighted strength calculation methodology from unauthorized republishing. The specific implementation of touch detection, level merging logic, and dynamic opacity calculations represents original work that differentiates this from standard fractal indicators.
What Makes This Indicator Unique
Unlike basic fractal indicators that simply mark pivot points, this system:
Tracks how many times each level has been tested (touch counting)
Weights level importance by volume at the fractal point
Merges nearby fractals into single levels instead of cluttering the chart
Dynamically adjusts visual opacity based on level strength
Provides zone boxes around levels for realistic price reaction areas
What This Indicator Does
Detects fractal pivot highs and lows to establish support and resistance levels
Tracks how many times each level has been touched or tested
Weights level importance by volume at the fractal point
Draws extending lines and zone boxes for each level
Dynamically adjusts level opacity based on touch count for visual strength indication
Provides a dashboard with nearest levels and counts
Core Methodology
The indicator uses Williams Fractal concepts as a foundation but extends them with proprietary enhancements:
Fractal Detection — Identifies pivot highs and lows where price creates local extremes with confirmation bars on each side. A fractal high requires the highest point with lower highs on both sides; a fractal low requires the lowest point with higher lows on both sides.
Level Clustering — New fractals within a tolerance zone (based on Zone Padding %) update existing levels rather than creating duplicates. This keeps the chart clean and focuses on significant price areas.
Volume Integration — Volume at each fractal point is accumulated to weight level significance. Higher volume fractals are considered more important.
Touch Tracking — The system monitors when price approaches existing levels and increments touch counts. More touches indicate stronger, more significant levels.
Visual Strength System
Level appearance changes dynamically based on market interaction:
Newer or less-tested levels appear more transparent (up to 80% transparency)
Each additional touch reduces transparency by 15%
Heavily tested levels become more prominent and opaque (minimum 20% transparency)
Labels display level number and touch count (e.g., "R1 (3)" = Resistance 1 with 3 touches)
Zone boxes provide visual areas around each level
Color Scheme
Resistance Color — Default: #FF5252 (red) — Used for resistance levels and zones
Support Color — Default: #4CAF50 (green) — Used for support levels and zones
Zone Fill — 90% transparent version of level color
Zone Border — 70% transparent version of level color
Labels — 30% transparent background with white text
Dashboard Information
The on-chart table (bottom-left corner) displays:
Number of active resistance levels meeting minimum touch requirement
Number of active support levels meeting minimum touch requirement
Nearest resistance level above current price
Nearest support level below current price
Inputs Overview
Fractal Settings:
Fractal Period — Bars on each side for fractal confirmation (default: 2, range: 1-10)
Max Levels Per Side — Maximum resistance and support levels to track (default: 5, range: 1-20)
Zone Padding (%) — Level zone width as percentage of price (default: 0.2%, range: 0-2%)
Filtering:
Volume Weight Levels — Toggle volume-weighted level importance (default: on)
Min Touches to Show — Filter out levels with fewer touches (default: 1, range: 1-10)
Lookback Period — Historical bars to analyze for level detection (default: 200, range: 50-500)
Visual Settings:
Resistance/Support Colors — Customizable color scheme
Show Zone Boxes — Toggle filled zone areas around levels
Show Level Labels — Toggle level labels with touch counts
Show Fractal Markers — Toggle small triangles at fractal points
Show Dashboard — Toggle the information table
Line Width — Thickness of level lines (default: 2, range: 1-5)
How to Use It
For Support/Resistance Trading:
Use levels with higher touch counts as stronger support/resistance references
More opaque levels have been tested more times and are more significant
Watch for price reactions at zone boundaries, not just exact level prices
Combine with candlestick patterns at levels for entry signals
For Breakout Trading:
Watch for breakouts when price closes beyond a level
Levels with many touches that finally break often produce strong moves
Use the zone box—a close beyond the zone is more significant than just touching the level
Set alerts for resistance/support breaks
For Target Setting:
Use the nearest resistance as a profit target for long positions
Use the nearest support as a profit target for short positions
Dashboard shows these levels for quick reference
Alerts Available
FSR Resistance Break — Price closes above a resistance level
FSR Support Break — Price closes below a support level
FSR New Fractal High — Fresh fractal high detected
FSR New Fractal Low — Fresh fractal low detected
Best Practices
Increase Fractal Period for fewer but more significant levels
Use Min Touches filter to show only well-tested levels
Volume weighting helps identify institutionally significant levels
Combine with trend indicators—trade with the trend at levels
