Prime Box Zones is a professional MetaTrader 5 indicator designed to detect and visualize high-quality consolidation zones directly on the chart.
Instead of drawing random rectangles or subjective support/resistance areas, Prime Box Zones uses an ATR-normalized market structure analysis to identify sideways market phases, range compression and potential breakout areas. The indicator is built for traders who want a cleaner way to spot price boxes, range zones and structured market pauses before the next directional move.
The integrated premium dashboard gives you a clear overview of the current zone status, score, trend filter, ATR values, breakout statistics and live broker time — without overcrowding the chart.
