Overview
Advanced Price-Action Zones is a comprehensive, professional-grade indicator designed to automatically map and visualize the most critical historical price levels on your chart. Moving beyond simple lines, it renders these levels as dynamic, semi-transparent zones, providing an intuitive 'heatmap' of significant support, resistance, and potential liquidity areas.

This tool is built for traders who demand a clean, data-rich chart that adapts in real-time to market movements, with a fully customizable interface for personal tuning.

Core Features
Automated Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Automatically plots the high and low of the previous Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and 12-Hour sessions, forming the backbone of your structural analysis.

Heatmap-Style Visualization: Levels are displayed as colored zones rather than simple lines. This allows you to instantly spot areas of confluence where multiple historical levels overlap, indicating stronger S/R.

Dynamic Daily Highlighting: The most recent previous day's high/low is shown in a primary color (default: yellow). As a new day begins, these zones automatically fade to a distinct historical color (default: grey), keeping your focus on the most relevant and recent price action.

Intraday Liquidity Targets: Temporary 12-hour zones are plotted with "L. Shorts" and "L. Longs" labels, highlighting potential short-term reversal areas or stop-run targets. These zones automatically expire to keep the chart clean.

Daily Range Context: A subtle background fill visualizes the entire range of the previous trading day, extending into the current session to provide immediate context for breakouts or range-bound behavior.

Toggleable Volume Data: Get deeper insights with floating labels showing the volume on the bar that created a key Daily, Weekly, or Monthly level. This feature can be turned on or off in the settings.

Full Customization: Every color for every zone type, background, and text element is fully adjustable via the indicator's input menu.

On-Chart Informative Legend: A clean legend in the top-right corner explains the color-coding and the implied importance of each timeframe.

How to Interpret the Visuals
High-Timeframe Levels (Monthly/Red, Weekly/Orange): Use these major zones to identify significant market turning points, high-probability reversal areas, and logical take-profit targets for swing trades.

Mid-Timeframe Levels (Daily): The yellow zones (most recent) represent the immediate battlefield. A decisive move beyond this area can set the tone for the session. The grey zones provide a historical map of prior daily structures.

Short-Timeframe Levels (12-Hour/Blue): Treat these as intraday targets. They often represent areas where stop-losses and liquidations might be clustered, making them magnets for price in the short term.

Disclaimer & Technical Notes
Disclaimer: This tool is for educational and analytical purposes only and does not constitute financial advice or trade signals. All trading involves significant risk.

Technical Note on lookahead: This indicator correctly uses lookahead = barmerge.lookahead_on when requesting higher-timeframe data. This is the standard, industry-accepted method to ensure that a completed historical value (e.g., the previous day's high) is plotted consistently and accurately across all chart timeframes. It does not "repaint" in the conventional sense of changing past signals, but rather ensures data stability.
