Hourly Trading System (Zeiierman)

3 Jul

█ Overview
The Hourly Trading System (Zeiierman) is designed to enhance your trading by highlighting critical price levels and trends on an hourly basis. This indicator plots the open prices of hourly and 4-hour candles, visualizes retests, displays average price lines, and overlays higher timeframe candlesticks. It is particularly beneficial for intraday traders seeking to capitalize on short-term price movements and volume patterns.




█ How It Works
This indicator works by plotting significant price levels and zones based on hourly and 4-hour candle opens. It also includes functionalities for identifying retests of these levels, calculating and displaying average prices, and showing high and low labels for each hour.

█ Timeframe
The Hourly Trading System is designed to be used on the 1-minute or 5-minute timeframe. This system is tailored for intraday trading, allowing traders to find optimal entries around hourly opening levels and providing an easy method to identify the hourly trend. It works effectively on any market.

█ How to Use
Trend Analysis
Quickly gauge where the current price stands relative to key hourly and 4-hour levels. The plotted lines and zones serve as potential support and resistance areas, helping traders identify crucial points for entry or exit.



Utilize the 1-hour average and higher timeframe candles to understand the overall market trend. Aligning intraday strategies with larger trends can enhance trading decisions.



Use the bar coloring to quickly gauge the 1-hour trend on a lower timeframe. The bar colors indicate whether the hourly trend is bullish (green) or bearish (red), helping traders make quicker decisions in alignment with the overall trend.




Retest Identification
Enable retest signals to see where the price retested the hourly open levels. These retest points often signal strong price reactions, offering opportunities for trades based on support/resistance flips.

One effective strategy to incorporate is looking for price flips when a new hour starts. This approach involves monitoring price action at the beginning of each hour. If the price breaks and retests the hourly open level with strong momentum, it could indicate a potential trend reversal or continuation. This strategy is effective in volatile markets where price movements are significant at the start of each new hour​.

Liquidity Sweep Strategy
Another common and effective strategy is the liquidity sweep. This involves identifying key levels where liquidity is likely to accumulate, such as previous hour highs and lows, and observing how the price interacts with these price levels. When the price sweeps through these levels, triggering stop-loss orders or pending orders, it often results in a sharp price movement followed by a reversal. Traders can capitalize on these movements by entering trades in the direction of the reversal once the liquidity sweep has occurred​.

Equal Highs and Lows Strategy
The Equal Highs and Lows strategy leverages the concept of identifying levels where the price forms multiple highs or lows at the same level over different hourly periods. These equal highs and lows often indicate strong support or resistance levels where liquidity is accumulated. When the price approaches these levels, it is likely to trigger stop-loss orders and lead to significant price movements. Traders can look for breakouts or reversals around these levels to enter trades with higher probability setups​.
