Price Magnet is a professional indicator for cTrader that identifies high-precision support and resistance levels by detecting hidden institutional zones through price density analysis. It calculates where the market has spent the most time historically, highlighting "magnet" price levels that often attract future price action. The indicator analyzes a configurable number of past bars, clusters price data into frequency groups, and displays the strongest levels likely to influence price movements.
Key configurable parameters include analysis depth (short-term for scalping/day trading or long-term for major institutional zones), back shift for historical analysis, grouping step to adjust sensitivity (with recommended values for instruments like EURUSD, Gold, and Bitcoin), and price source selection (close, median, or typical price). Users can set the number of magnetic levels to display and toggle visual elements such as density zones and lines.
Price Magnet supports various markets including Forex pairs (EURUSD, GBPUSD, NZDUSD, USDJPY), commodities (Gold), cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin), and indices (US 30, NAS100, US 500). It aids trading strategies such as mean reversion, breakout confirmation, and setting take profit targets based on secondary magnetic levels. The tool simplifies complex market profile data into actionable visual levels to assist traders in identifying institutional support and resistance zones.
