HotZones builds support and resistance zones from where volume actually concentrated and where price structure actually turned, scores every zone 0–100%, and shows only the nearest zone above and below price so the chart never fills with stale levels. Around the zones it draws the session framework — initial balance, previous-day IB, Asia and London ranges — and it adds two context reads most zone tools leave out: the market regime (TREND / NEUTRAL / CHOP) and the volatility state (EXPANDING / NEUTRAL / CONTRACTING). The same zone at the same price is a different trade in a trending session than in a chopping one — HotZones tells you which one you're in.
Zones are built from where volume actually concentrated and where price structure turned — not arbitrary swing points.
Every zone is scored on confluence, historical touches, recency, volume strength and round numbers — a confidence number you can actually reason about.
The strongest zones (90%+) render gold and thicker, with broken-anchor memory that keeps failed structure on the chart for ~50 bars.
A running TREND / NEUTRAL / CHOP read built on ADX and Choppiness tells you what kind of session you're trading before you commit to a level.
Fast-vs-slow ATR flags whether volatility is EXPANDING, NEUTRAL or CONTRACTING — whether a zone is a breakout level or a range edge.
Initial balance, previous-day IB, and Asia / London session ranges are drawn automatically and removed the moment price trades through them.
Volume nodes, confirmed swing levels, congestion, and round numbers are scanned over the lookback (default 500 bars). Overlapping zones merge, and each merged zone remembers every source that built it.
Each source adds confluence; historical touches, a recent last touch, above-average volume and round numbers all add weight. The score is the zone's confidence.
Any zone at 90%+ becomes a gold Anchor. When one breaks it turns grey and persists for ~50 bars — a magnet or retest level, not a wall.
A regime label (TREND / NEUTRAL / CHOP) and an ATR state read sit on the chart, so a gold anchor in a trending session reads differently from the same level in chop.

Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing one's financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Performance disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of the financial risk of actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
