Market Map
MarketStructureLab - Market Map
Market Map is a visual market context indicator designed to help traders read the chart structure more clearly.
The tool does not generate buy or sell signals. Instead, it focuses on mapping the current market environment by highlighting important support and resistance zones, premium / balance / discount areas, projected dynamic trend lines, and a compact dashboard with simple market context readings.
The main idea behind this indicator is to answer a few practical questions:
Where is price trading now?
Is it close to support or resistance?
Is price located in the upper, middle, or lower part of the recent range?
Who currently has more control according to the trend context: buyers, sellers, or neither side?
How much room is there to the nearest support or resistance area?
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📌 WHAT THE INDICATOR SHOWS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. Support and Resistance Zones
The indicator builds support and resistance areas from clustered pivot highs and pivot lows.
A resistance zone appears where price has previously reacted from above.
A support zone appears where price has previously held from below.
These zones are not exact prediction levels. They are visual areas where price has shown previous market interest and where traders may want to pay closer attention.
2. Premium / Balance / Discount Areas
The script divides the recent price range into three visual areas:
Premium area — the upper part of the range.
Balance area — the middle part of the range.
Discount area — the lower part of the range.
This helps traders understand whether price is currently high, low, or balanced within the recent market structure.
3. Dynamic Trend Lines
The indicator can project dynamic trend lines from recent pivot highs and pivot lows.
The red projected line represents the slope of recent highs.
The green projected line represents the slope of recent lows.
These lines are designed for visual structure reading only. They are not automatic entry or exit signals.
4. Dashboard
The dashboard gives a compact summary of the current market context:
Market — bullish, bearish, or neutral trend context based on EMA structure.
Zone — current location of price: support, resistance, premium, discount, balance, or middle.
Control — whether buyers, sellers, or neither side have the current edge.
Room — approximate distance from the current price to nearby resistance and support.
Focus — a simple note on what area deserves attention.

A simple workflow may look like this:
1. Check whether price is near a support or resistance zone.
2. Look at whether price is in premium, balance, or discount.
3. Read the dashboard to understand the current market context.
4. Use the dynamic trend lines to review the slope of recent structure.
5. Combine the map with your own strategy, confirmation tools, and risk management.
