STRUCTURAL HEAT ZONES
Participation Intensity Map
--------------------------------------------------
See where price fights. See where it ignores.
Most support/resistance tools draw lines where price WAS.
Structural Heat Zones answers: Does the market actually CARE about this level?
--------------------------------------------------
HEAT INTENSITY SCORING (0 to 100)
The indicator analyzes swing clustering and assigns a heat score:
- Red zones (80 to 100 heat) = Strongest structural participation
- Orange zones (60 to 80 heat) = Active structural zone
- Yellow zones (40 to 60 heat) = Moderate interest
- Blue zones (below 40 heat) = Weak structure
Higher heat = more swings clustered = more market attention.
--------------------------------------------------
ACCEPTANCE VS REJECTION TRACKING
For each structural heat zone, the indicator tracks price behavior:
- ACCEPTANCE = Price closes inside the zone (support behavior)
- REJECTION = Price leaves long wicks at the zone (resistance behavior)
This tells you whether a zone is likely to HOLD or REVERSE.
--------------------------------------------------
MARKET ENGAGEMENT ANALYSIS
The system measures:
- Candle touches (how often price visits each zone)
- Closes inside (acceptance rate)
- Wick rejections (rejection rate)
- Configurable lookback period
Low engagement = weak zone. High engagement = structural heat zone.
--------------------------------------------------
VISUAL INTENSITY MAPPING
- Color-coded zones by heat score (red = hottest)
- Halo extensions for rejection visualization
- Data labels showing: Heat / Participation / Acceptance / Rejection scores
- Auto-cleaning (zones redraw automatically)
- Optional swing high/low arrows
--------------------------------------------------
KEY PARAMETERS
- Swing Strength: Pivot sensitivity (higher = fewer swings)
- Lookback Bars: How far back to detect swings
- ATR Period: For adaptive radius calculation
- Cluster ATR Radius: How close swings must be to cluster
- Max Cluster Height ATR: Rejects zones wider than this
- Zone Extension ATR: Halo size for rejection detection
- Minimum Swings In Zone: Minimum cluster size
- Minimum Heat Score: Only show zones above this
- Behavior Lookback Bars: Period for engagement tracking
- Max Zones: Maximum zones displayed
- Zone / Halo Opacity: Visual transparency
--------------------------------------------------
USE CASES
- Find genuine structural heat zones (high heat + high engagement)
- Distinguish acceptance zones from rejection zones
- Avoid low-heat, low-participation areas
- Identify structural clusters for entry and exit placement
- Confluence with trend indicators or order flow
--------------------------------------------------
TECHNICAL NOTES
- Overlay indicator (draws on price chart)
- Works on any timeframe and symbol
- Auto-adapts to volatility via ATR
- No repainting (swings are historical)
