RLP V4.3 -Long Term Support/Resistance Levels (Refuges-Shelters)// Introduction //
We have utilized the Zigzag library technology from ©Trendoscope Pty Ltd for Zigzag generation, allowing users the freedom to choose which of the different Zigzags calculated by Trendoscope as "Levels and Sub-Levels" is most suitable for generating ideal phases for evaluation and selection as "most preponderant phases" over long-term periods of any asset, according to its particular behavior based on its age, volatility, and price trend.
// Theoretical Foundation of the Indicator //
Many traditional institutional investors use the latest higher-degree market phase that stands out from others (longest duration and greatest price change on daily timeframe) to base a Fibonacci retracement on whose levels they open long-term positions. These positions can remain open to be activated in the future even years in advance. The phase is considered valid until a new, more preponderant phase develops over time, at which point the same strategy is repeated.
// Indicator Objectives //
1) Automatically find the latest most preponderant long-term phase of an asset, analyzing it on daily timeframe while considering whether the long-term market trend is bullish or bearish.
2) Draw a Fibonacci Retracement over the preponderant phase (reversed if the phase is bullish).
3) The indicator automatically numbers and locates the 3 most preponderant phases, selecting Top-1 for initial Fibo drawing.
4) If the user disagrees with the indicator's automatic selection, they have the freedom to choose any of the other 2 Top phases for the Fibo drawing and its levels.
5) If the user disagrees with the amplitude or frequency of the initially drawn Zigzag phases, they can modify the Zigzag calculation algorithm parameters until one of the Top-3 matches the phase they had in mind.
6) As an experimental bonus, the indicator runs a popularity contest (CP) of "bullseye" daily price (OHLC) matches, subject to user-defined tolerance ranges, against all Fibo levels of the Top 3 selected phases, to verify which phase the market prices are validating as the most popular for placing trades. Contest results are displayed in the POP. CONTEST column of the Top-3 phases table. If the contest detects a change in the winning phase, a switch can be enabled to activate an alert that the user can utilize with TradingView's alert creator to display an alarm, send an email, etc.
7) This indicator was designed for users to find the preponderant long-term phase of their assets and manually record the date-price coordinates of the i0-i1 anchors of the preponderant phase. The Top-1 phase coordinates are shown in the Top-3 phases table where they can be captured. The date-price coordinates of all HH and LL pivots, from all Zigzag phases, can be displayed via a switch. With the pivots, the user can select a different phase than those automatically found by the indicator, according to the conclusions of their own research. Subsequently, the user can forget about this RLP indicator for a while and move on to apply in their normal trading our RLPS indicator (Simplified Long-Term Shelters), in which they can draw and simultaneously track the long-term shelters of up to 5 different assets, simply by entering their corresponding date-price coordinates, previously located with this RLP indicator or through their own observation.
// Additional Notes //
1) As of the this V4.3 publication date (01/2026), the Zigzag generation parameters were adjusted by default to find the long-term preponderant phases for the following assets: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin futures BTC1! (all generated due to the 2020-2021 pandemic). It also provides by default the confirmed preponderant phases for the following assets: Apple, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, PayPal, NQ1!, ES1! and SP500 Cash.
2) Prices, phases, and levels shown on the graphic chart correspond to results obtained using daily Bitcoin data from the Bitstamp exchange, BTCUSD:BITSTAMP (popular here in Europe).
3) Any error corrections or improvements that can be made to the phase selection algorithms or the CP phase popularity contest algorithm will be highly appreciated (statistics and mathematics, among many other sciences, are not particularly our strong suit).
4) We sincerely regret to inform you that we have not included the Spanish translation previously provided, due to our significant concern regarding the ambiguous rules on publication bans related to indicators.
4) Sharing motivates. Happy hunting in this great jungle!

Short-Term Weekly Refuges (Shelters)## // Introduction //
══════════════
Short-Term Weekly Refuges (Shelters) (WR or RS) is a structural analysis indicator designed to track price action during the current week. It combines a configurable ZigZag with Fibonacci retracements anchored to recent phases, using the Weekly Opening Price (W.O.P.) as a key reference level.
This indicator is optimized for 4H timeframe but also works on 1H and 15min charts.
## // Theoretical Foundation of the Indicator //
═══════════════════════════════
The WR (RS) indicator provides a structural framework for following price action during the current trading week.
The core concept: Recent ZigZag phases, combined with the Weekly Opening Price, create dynamic support and resistance levels that institutional traders often monitor and use for intraweek positioning. The indicator allows you to select which recent phase (1-10) serves as the Fibonacci anchor.
## // Indicator Objectives //
══════════════════
1) Display a configurable ZigZag showing recent price structure with numbered phases (1 = most recent). Users should configure the ZigZag parameters based on whether they are analyzing a Major Degree Pattern (larger swings, less noise) or a Minor Degree Pattern (smaller swings, more detail), following standard Elliott Wave terminology. Configure the ZigZag to match the degree of your analysis: use higher Depth values for Major Degree Patterns, or lower values for Minor Degree Patterns.
2) Draw Fibonacci retracements on a user-selected phase, with two modes:
• "On ZigZag": Traditional Fibonacci on the selected phase.
• "Relative to W.O.P.": Fibonacci from phase anchor (i0) to Weekly Opening Price.
3) Show Weekly Opening Price lines as horizontal references, with the current week's line extended into the future.
4) Provide Pivot Up/Down markers for additional confirmation of local highs and lows.
5) Support multiple simultaneous indicator loads with visual identifier labels to distinguish between different analysis degrees (e.g., "Major Degree Pattern" vs "Minor Degree Pattern").
6) Optional Embedded Indicator: Enable Intraday Shelters (RID) - percentage-based support/resistance levels calculated from the Daily Opening Price, useful for 1H and 15min trading.
## // Key Features //
══════════════
• **Flexible ZigZag**: Adjustable Depth, Deviation, and Backstep parameters to adapt to any asset's volatility.
• **Phase Selection**: Choose from the 10 most recent phases for Fibonacci anchoring.
• **Dual Fibonacci Modes**: Trace on the ZigZag phase itself, or relative to the Weekly Opening Price.
• **New Age Color Palette**: Professional Fibonacci color scheme used by old school experienced traders.
• **Weekly Opening Price (W.O.P.)**: Historical weekly opens plus current week projection.
• **"Show Only W.O.P." Mode**: Isolate just the Weekly Opening Price line for cleaner charts on non-4H timeframes.
• **Optional Intraday Shelters (RID)**: 11 percentage levels (±0.382%, ±1%, ±1.5%, ±2%, ±2.5%) based on Daily Opening Price.
• **Multi-Load Support**: Visual identifier tags and Large Label for running multiple indicator instances simultaneously.
## // Recommended Workflow //
═════════════════════
1) Load the indicator on a 4H chart.
2) Adjust ZigZag parameters (Depth, Deviation) until the phases match your visual analysis of recent price structure.
3) Select the phase you want to use as Fibonacci anchor (typically Phase 2, 3 or higher).
4) Choose Fibonacci mode: "On ZigZag" for phase analysis, or "Relative to W.O.P." for analysis based on weekly opening price context.
5) Monitor how price interacts with the Fibonacci levels and Weekly Opening Price throughout the week.
6) Optionally enable RID for intraday precision on 1H or 15min charts.
## // Integration with Other Refuge Indicators //
════════════════════════════════
WR (RS) is part of a complete refuge-based analysis ecosystem:
• LTR (RLP) (Long-Term Refuges): For automatic determination of the predominant phase of a ZigZag, which institutional investors choose as the basis for a Fibo whose levels calculate the projection for order placement over the following months and years.
• LTRS (RLPS) (Simple Long-Term Refuges): Simplified version of LTR in which the known coordinates of the predominant phases (obtained with the LTR indicator) of one or up to five assets are easily captured for permanent long-term operation.
• WR (RS) (Short-Term Weekly Refuges): (This indicator) For short-term tactical analysis (4H, 1H) based on chosen phases of a ZigZag that define Fibo levels generated during the near past week(s) and probably effective in the present week.
• IDR (RID) (Intra-Day Refuges): For daily operations relying on intraday levels on timeframes of 1H or less. Ideal for scalping traders.
By combining LTR, LTRS, WR and IDR, you obtain a multi-level framework that allows you to operate with clarity at any time horizon, from intraday positions to investments spanning months and years.
## // Additional Notes //
════════════════
1) Default parameters are optimized for volatile assets (crypto, tech stocks). For forex or less volatile instruments, consider reducing Deviation to 3-8%.
2) The "Phase in Development" (dashed line) shows the tentative current ZigZag segment that may still change as new bars form.
3) Bug reports, improvement proposals for the ZigZag generator, pattern determination, or Fibo composition, etc., will be greatly appreciated and taken into account for a future version. Best regards and happy hunting.

Mid-Term Refuges (RMP)════════════
ENGLISH VERSION (SPANISH TEXT AT THE END)
════════════
MID-TERM REFUGES (RMP) V1.0
The Mid-Term Refuges (RMP) indicator plots psychological support and resistance levels based on a methodology used by institutional investors since auction floor days. RMP automatically calculates 31 key levels (refuges) from the asset's annual opening price.
METHODOLOGY
• RESISTANCES (R1-R15): Projected at +10% intervals from annual opening, identifying selling pressure zones
• SUPPORTS (S1-S15): Calculated at -10% intervals, marking buyer interest areas
• ANNUAL OPENING PRICE (PA): Central reference level
The 10% intervals represent significant psychological thresholds that capture market indecision, consolidation, or reversal moments. When critical mass of participants uses these same levels, they become self-fulfilling prophecies.
VALIDATION
Test RMP effectiveness on your assets:
1. Use TradingView's Bar Replay
2. Review periods with +/-10% movements
3. Count price reactions at refuge levels
4. Higher frequency = higher institutional usage probability
ECOSYSTEM INTEGRATION
RMP integrates with our other indicators:
• RLP/RLPS (Long-Term Refuges): Structural analysis
• RS (Weekly Refuges): Short-term tactical analysis
FEATURES
• 31 configurable levels with individual switches
• Professional visualization with formatted prices
• Complete customization (colors, widths, styles)
• Native integration with TradingView's price scale
• Bar Replay compatible
PHILOSOPHY
RMP doesn't predict the future—it observes price action at objective levels. No oscillators, no curve-fitting. Pure technical analysis based on auction floor techniques proven over decades.

REFUGIOS DE MEDIANO PLAZO (RMP) V1.0
El indicador Refugios de Mediano Plazo (RMP) traza niveles psicologicos de soporte y resistencia basados en una metodologia utilizada por inversores institucionales desde los tiempos de los pisos de subastas. RMP calcula automaticamente 31 niveles clave (refugios) a partir del precio de apertura anual del activo.
METODOLOGIA
• RESISTENCIAS (R1-R15): Proyectadas a intervalos de +10% desde la apertura anual, identificando zonas de presion vendedora
• SOPORTES (S1-S15): Calculados a intervalos de -10%, marcando areas de interes comprador
• PRECIO DE APERTURA ANUAL (PA): Nivel de referencia central
Los intervalos del 10% representan umbrales psicologicos significativos que capturan momentos de indecision, consolidacion o reversion del mercado. Cuando una masa critica de participantes utiliza estos mismos niveles, se convierten en profecias autocumplidas.
VALIDACION
Pruebe la efectividad de RMP en sus activos:
1. Use el Reproductor de Barras de TradingView
