Yet another Support/Resistance Indicator for DayTrading, but with a twist, We use high/low of High Volume Bar, in three different Zones of the Day.
With out further delay, Uploading the code here, will come back and edit this line with more appropriate description.

huge thanks to @cos251 for helping me with Coding this, Reviewing and Testing it.

## This is to Plot Support/Resistance based on High Volume Candle in three different time zones for the day.

## Removing the header Credit credits and description is not permitted, any modification needs to be shared. 
## A big thanks to @COS251 for helping me with Coding this, Reviewing and Testing it.
## V 1.3 : Switched to highest Volume per Zone, so there are not only a sigle volume box per zone.
## V 1.2 : No changes to the logic But just hints and header updates, also added a tiny URL for the video. 
## V 1.1 : Just added the ability to disable the vZones, automatically, extending from previous in to current session.  
##  Note : It is available as an option, should somebody prefer the extension. Set "Extend" to your needs accordingly. 
## V 1.0 : Split Day in to three Zones and Find the highest Volume Candle for each zone and plot Support/Resistance. 
##       :     Zone 1 : 09:30 - 11:00
##       :     Zone 2 : 11:00 - 14:00 
##       :     Zone 3 : 14:00 - 16:00
##       :     vZones are Plotted on 15m and lower charts. 
##       :  Plots EMA Cloud to assist with identifying reversals, Keeping EMA Clouds for all Timeframes

** For those of you curious what it looks like here is the image. Also the extream bottom Volume Indicator is still work in progress, I am using Standard deviation, instead of AVG volumes, any suggestion would be welcome. Note: the Standard deviation Volumes Study is not posted yet.

Beautiful!

Nice work @SuryaKiranC - such a clean indicator!

Very powerful indicator! MSFT Levels today. From breakout to resistance.

## V 1.2 : Removed time restriction - alternate version (@cos251)
##
## V 1.1 : Just added the ability to disable the vZones, automatically, extending from previous in to current session. 
##  Note : It is available as an option, should somebody prefer the extension. Set "Extend" to your needs accordingly.
## V 1.0 : Split Day in to three Zones and Find the highest Volume Candle for each zone and plot Support/Resistance.
##        :     Zone 1 : 09:30 - 11:00
##        :     Zone 2 : 11:00 - 14:00
##        :     Zone 3 : 14:00 - 16:00
##        :     vZones are Plotted on 15m and lower charts.
##        :  Plots EMA Cloud to assist with identifying reversals, Keeping EMA Clouds for all Timeframes

what are the different color zones represent, time or how much volume?

Each Zone Represents the different range of the time and we find the Highest Volume candles in each time range and plot the Hi/Low as support & Resistance for the zone. Trying to find Reversals using EMA cloud. Please watch the video to understand how the use the setup. Video and additional description is found in the Description section of the code.

Thank you! Try using this indicator on range chart. Let me know what you think

The Zones are coded for Time Based charts, although doing something like this for a Tick based chart is not a bad idea, Would you be able to define criteria what should I split the zones into?

well

well I would take the full day. 8.30am to market close
 
@SuryaKiranC One suggestion, can we draw dotted lines or anything that identify the 3 zones for the day?

Also, folks in CST, do we need to change the times for the zones?

I'm using this indicator for the times. You can adjust it as you please:

declare upper;



declare once_per_bar;
input nine = 1000;
AddVerticalLine(SecondsFromTime(nine)[1] < 0 && SecondsFromTime(nine) >= 0, nine, Color.GRAY, Curve.SHORT_DASH);

input ninethirty = 1030;
AddVerticalLine(SecondsFromTime(ninethirty)[1] < 0 && SecondsFromTime(ninethirty) >= 0, ninethirty, Color.GRAY, Curve.SHORT_DASH);

input ten = 1100;
AddVerticalLine(SecondsFromTime(ten)[1] < 0 && SecondsFromTime(ten) >= 0, ten, Color.GRAY, Curve.SHORT_DASH);

Thanks, trying to figure out why it wont draw a dashed line when I change the following inputs:

input nine = 800;
AddVerticalLine(SecondsFromTime(nine)[1] < 0 && SecondsFromTime(nine) >= 0, nine, Color.GRAY, Curve.SHORT_DASH);

input ninethirty = 830;
AddVerticalLine(SecondsFromTime(ninethirty)[1] < 0 && SecondsFromTime(ninethirty) >= 0, ninethirty, Color.GRAY, Curve.SHORT_DASH);

Thanks.

Would you know why my zones for TSLA last Friday dont look right?

According to the video, the zones should be drawn from the start of the each zone period, all the way to the close of the day.

Mine for some reason, start all the way from the start of the day for zone2 and zone 3.

Mine looks the same as yours. I guess because this indicator also includes a zone for premarket? The intraday zones look right to me. It's supposed to take the highest volume of each zone and project it forward. Maybe @SuryaKiranC has a better explanation. Sorry I can't be anymore help.

Zone Start and end time declarations are EST and are perfectly fine to use, regardless of your location and your TOS/system TimeZones(EST/CST/PST). I am in PST and my system settings are PST.

From the ScreenShot you posted on TSLA, The vZone 2 and 3 are extended from previous session to today. I am working on a code to make this as a choice. As an, keep the previous session cloud extended in to today or not. Will update the code in original posting once verified.
