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!
