Dynamic Buy/Sell S/R Zones with Fibonacci & D/W/M Levels
Adaptive buy/sell zones powered by ATR volatility, anchored to swing highs/lows, with Fibonacci retracement and previous Day/Week/Month levels — all in one clean chart overlay.
Overview
ATR Zones is a professional-grade MetaTrader 5 indicator that automatically plots dynamic support and resistance zones directly on your chart. Unlike static S/R tools, ATR Zones adapts to real-time market volatility using the Average True Range (ATR), ensuring your zones remain relevant whether the market is quiet or explosive.
The indicator identifies swing highs and lows on a higher timeframe, then projects precisely calculated BUY zones (near swing lows) and SELL zones (near swing highs) onto your current chart. Each zone is width-scaled by ATR, so it breathes with the market.

🧠 How It Works
-
Swing Detection — Scans the last N bars on your chosen Swing Timeframe to find the highest high and lowest low.
-
Volatility Scaling — Reads ATR from your chosen ATR Timeframe to determine zone thickness.
-
Zone Projection — Places a BUY zone above the swing low and a SELL zone below the swing high, using your retracement fractions.
-
Fibonacci Overlay — Draws retracement levels between the swing extremes.
-
D/W/M Levels — Adds previous period highs/lows for confluence.
-
Auto-Update — Recalculates on every new bar, keeping zones fresh.
