My Journey in the Financial Market
I began my journey in the financial market in 2006, at a time when access to complete and well-structured educational materials on the subject was scarce. Faced with this gap, my learning came largely through self-directed study and hands-on experience. - Version: 1.0
Relevance Zones Indicator — Price Structure and Price Action
Concept
An indicator designed for Swing Trading analysis, based on price structure, support and resistance, and average price movements, applying the concept of moving averages within a Price Action framework.
Its purpose is to identify and highlight, through horizontal lines, price regions where the market has demonstrated relevant behavior throughout its historical movement.
These regions are displayed as areas of attention, allowing traders to conduct deeper analysis and combine the information with other indicators, analytical tools, and their own trading systems.
Region Identification
The indicator identifies relevant areas by analyzing the interaction between:
-
Significant price highs and lows;
-
Support and resistance regions;
-
Average price movements;
-
Price Action behavior;
-
Repeated price interactions;
-
Historical price concentration;
-
Market structure.
Based on these elements, the indicator calculates and projects horizontal reference levels, making it easier to visualize areas where price has demonstrated greater structural relevance.
Areas of Attention
The horizontal lines represent areas of analytical interest, rather than precise or absolute price levels.
Their purpose is to help traders observe market behavior when price approaches these regions and subsequently evaluate additional factors such as:
-
Price Action;
-
Volume;
-
Fibonacci;
-
Moving averages;
-
OBV;
-
MACD;
-
Order flow;
-
Market structure;
-
Other technical indicators;
-
Individual trading systems and strategies.
The indicator therefore functions as a complementary analytical tool, providing a visual representation of price regions that may deserve further investigation.
Important — Not Entry Signals
The horizontal lines must not be used independently as buy or sell triggers.
The indicator is not designed to automatically determine entry points, exit points, stop-loss levels, or profit targets.
A region identified by the indicator represents only an area of attention where the trader may perform a deeper analysis using their own methodology.
The final trading decision remains entirely dependent on the user's individual set of criteria.
Indicator Philosophy
The concept is to transform price-structure analysis into a simple and objective visual framework:
Price Structure → Relevance Identification → Attention Zone → Complementary Analysis → Trader's Decision
The indicator is not intended to replace individual technical analysis. Instead, it is designed to organize and visually highlight relevant information from historical price behavior, providing an additional layer of analysis for Swing Trading.
Application
The indicator can be applied to different assets and timeframes, allowing each trader to adapt the tool according to their own methodology, trading horizon, and desired sensitivity.
The fundamental principle remains:
The line identifies a region that deserves attention — it is not a trading signal.
This approach preserves trader autonomy and allows each identified region to be validated through multiple analytical techniques before any trading decision is made.
