GC 08-02 Zones
GC 08-02 Zones — Gold Futures Round-Level Map
This indicator automatically maps out horizontal reaction zones around gold's round-number price levels — the "xx8 to xx2" bands that often act as short-term support/resistance on GC and MGC futures.
How it works
The script rounds the current price to the nearest $10 level and plots a series of shaded zones above and below it, each spanning from the round number +2 to −2 (e.g. a zone around $3350 would run from 3352 down to 3348). These bands are drawn symmetrically around price and automatically re-center as price moves, so you always have a consistent map of nearby round-number levels without manually drawing lines.
Features
Why round numbers matter
Round price levels tend to attract order flow — stops, limit orders, and psychological decision points cluster around them. Having these zones pre-mapped can help with spotting potential reaction areas, planning entries/exits, or simply keeping round-number context visible without cluttering the chart with manual drawings.
Usage notes
This tool is designed specifically for gold futures (GC/MGC) given their $10 round-level structure. It is a visual reference only and does not generate buy/sell signals — always combine with your own strategy, market structure analysis, and risk management.
