Support/Resistance Zones for ThinkorSwim

This video describes the difference between supply/demand zones and support/resistance.

Has anyone seen a script that applies this conception of supply and demand zones?

Support/Resistance or Supply/Demand whichever you prefer. Based on pivots and ATR. Change the n to get zones for the time you wish.

Update: ATR is now straight lines and user can input ATR multiple.

Horserider, I just found this indicator and was hoping you could help me as I am pretty new at this. I put this on my chart and I cannot tell which is Supply/Demand and which is Support/Resistance. Is the Green/Red cloud Supply/Demand? Is there also a way to allow for Support/Resistance to be turned off and on? Thank you for your work and sharing this.

No, there is no separate Supply/Demand and Support/Resistance.
@horserider was attempting to say that members use the terms:
Supply/Demand and Support/Resistance interchangeably and that he doesn't care what you call this indicator.

It is beyond the scope of this thread to provide all the information about how to use S&R indicators.
It is always recommended that you do some research and gain a thorough understanding of the concepts before implementing them on your charts.
1. Every strategy should take into account support/resistance.
2. If the price is below then the zone represents resistance
3. If the price is above then the zone represents support.
4. S&R indicators have minimal value on lower timeframes.
 
@horserider is there a way to make this a MTF script? I use a 2m chart but would like to see the zones based off the 15m chart on the 2m chart. Can this be achieved?

Support & Resistance repaint on purpose. If an instrument breaks through the Support or Resistance, it is important to draw the new levels.

But because, it is a repainter, you don't want to make it a multi-time frame.
MTF repaint until the upper timeframe bar closes.
Making a repainter of a repainter. Is not a good idea.
There are no repainting repainters on the forum.

Can you share the indicators you use? or where can i find it? Thank you
Did you know that by clicking on a member's name, you can easily check when they were last seen on the uTS forum? It's a great way to keep track of who's been around recently, and who hasn't. Speaking of which, it looks like @mohitdas has not been around in a while. :(

Can someone write the code to scan for PR1 and PS1?
