Discussion of article "Automatic construction of support and resistance lines"

 

New article Automatic construction of support and resistance lines has been published:

The article deals with automatic construction of support/resistance lines using local tops and bottoms of price charts. The well-known ZigZag indicator is applied to define these extreme values.

Support and resistance lines are plotted via local peaks and bottoms of price charts. To determine these extreme values, we will apply the well known ZigZag indicator. We can set the necessary properties for support and resistance lines in its inputs.

The scale of lines can be changed using the parameters of the ZigZag indicator, but you can apply the same parameters on different timeframes. This allows us to obtain the extreme values we need to build support and resistance levels.

The images below show how the extreme values change with the change of a timeframe. The first image displays the minute chart encompassing a period of thirty minutes, the second one covers four hours.

A very nice work. I most often preferred using SRs manually due to more control and dynamism of price movement. Though an EA of this sort is splendid if we'll fine tuned
 
Hello. Is there a mql4 version for this? Thank you.
 
Hello, unfortunately there is no version of Mql4.
 

Dear all,

 I receve the error below when the EA try to send a sell or buy orders.

Vladmir can you help me with this problem? Well I'm really looking forward to seeing how this EA works.

Thank you in advance for your time.


 
very good job
 

I am diving into this EA but it seems not to work on the Strategy tester. This seems to be a problem with many EAs not just yours, I just wondering if there is any way to correct this issue.

 
Hi, how do I make this open position automatically?
