Major Market Structure is a technical analysis indicator for MetaTrader 5 designed to display confirmed market structure directly on the chart.
The indicator focuses on significant swing points instead of marking every minor price fluctuation. It helps traders observe the relationship between major highs, major lows, structural breaks and potential reaction zones across different market conditions.

Chart elements
Major High
A confirmed significant swing high. It is displayed above the corresponding price candle.
Major Low
A confirmed significant swing low. It is displayed below the corresponding price candle.
BOS Up
A bullish Break of Structure is displayed when price exceeds a confirmed major high according to the selected BOS settings.
BOS Down
A bearish Break of Structure is displayed when price moves below a confirmed major low according to the selected BOS settings.
Reversal zones
The indicator can draw zones around confirmed major structure points. These areas can be used as additional chart context when evaluating possible support, resistance or price reactions.
Trend State
The current structure is classified as:
-
Uptrend: higher confirmed major highs and higher confirmed major lows
-
Downtrend: lower confirmed major highs and lower confirmed major lows
-
Balance: mixed structure or insufficient confirmation
How to use
Attach the indicator to a chart and select settings appropriate for the symbol and timeframe.
The default settings are intended to provide a balanced view of major structure. Increasing the pivot and displacement requirements generally produces fewer but more selective structure points. Reducing them makes the indicator more sensitive to smaller market movements.
H1 and H4 are suitable starting timeframes for traders who want to analyze broader intraday and multi-day structure. The indicator can also be used on other timeframes.
Confirmation behavior
Major High and Major Low points require confirmation from closed candles and subsequent price displacement. For this reason, a swing marker is displayed at the original pivot candle only after the required confirmation has occurred.
The indicator does not claim to identify an unconfirmed top or bottom in advance. Break of Structure events are evaluated only after the relevant structure point has been confirmed.

Important information
Major Market Structure is an analytical tool and does not provide guaranteed trading results. It does not automatically execute trades. Market structure is confirmed after the required price information becomes available, so signals are not intended to predict exact tops or bottoms in advance.
Always evaluate market conditions and apply appropriate risk management before making trading decisions.
