DZ

DZ – Pivot Demand Zones + Trend Filter + Breadth Override + SL is a structured accumulation indicator built to identify high-probability demand areas after valid pullbacks.

The script creates **Demand Zones (DZ)** by pairing **pivot troughs (local lows)** with later **pivot peaks (local highs)**, requiring a minimum **ATR (Average True Range)** gap to confirm real price displacement. Zones are drawn only when market structure confirms strength through a **trend filter** (a required number of higher highs over a recent window) or a **breadth override**, which activates after unusually large expansion candles measured as a percentage move from the prior close.

In addition to pivots, the script detects **coiling price action**—tight trading ranges contained within an ATR band—and treats these as alternative demand bases.

Entries require price to penetrate a defined depth into the zone, preventing shallow reactions. After the first valid entry, a **DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging)** system adds buys every 10 bars while trend or breadth conditions persist. A **ratcheting SL (Stop-Loss)** tightens upward only, using demand structure or ATR when zones are unavailable.

The focus is disciplined, volatility-aware accumulation aligned with structure.
