Check out the new article: Interactive Supply and Demand Zone Manager in MQL5: From Manual to Automated Lifecycle.

Replace static drawings with automated, stateful zones controlled by a CZone wrapper. The system synchronizes user rectangles, sizes zones by ATR, validates breakouts using consecutive closes, applies ghost/deactivation rules, merges nearby structures by a 1.5×ATR threshold, and projects edges forward. Traders gain durable levels that update themselves and reduce repetitive chart management.

The framework introduced in this article will allow zones to:

  •  be categorized automatically with live prices to determine whether they are support or resistance,
  •  transition between structural states,
  •  detect breakouts,
  •  enter ghost states,
  •  and eventually deactivate themselves without manual intervention.

The system is a coordinated lifecycle pipeline. Each stage handles a specific task: synchronization, detection, validation, rendering, or state management.

Rather than operating as isolated functions, the system is designed as a coordinated lifecycle pipeline where each stage is responsible for a specific task such as synchronization, detection, validation, rendering, and state management.

The following flowchart provides an overview of how manual user interaction and automated market analysis move through the framework to produce fully dynamic, self-managed zones.
