Short answer
What do StockNotify's demand and supply zones show?
StockNotify's Zones control overlays demand and supply areas detected from the loaded chart candles. Labels can show the price-pattern type, a score out of seven, freshness, and reversal or continuation context. The zone boundaries and calculated levels help you inspect the price structure behind a possible monitoring checkpoint.
These zones depend on the selected interval and available history. A score describes the detector's rules; it is not a probability that support or resistance will hold. Review the underlying candles and current data before using a zone to plan an alert.

What do DBR, RBR, RBD, DBD and WB mean?
The labels summarize a sequence of price movement and base candles. DBR means drop-base-rally; RBR means rally-base-rally; RBD means rally-base-drop; and DBD means drop-base-drop. WB identifies a without-base pattern. Demand areas use green coloring and supply areas use red. REV marks reversal context and CONT marks continuation context within the detector's classification.
How is the score out of seven calculated?
The score combines up to three points for freshness, two for the move away from the base, and two for the number of base candles. The current rules give a fresh zone three freshness points and a once-tested zone one and a half. The overlay's FRESH or 1x label describes that test history. These are rule weights applied to available candles, not a backtested success rate or a guarantee of future demand or supply.
What are the two zone boundaries?
The proximal boundary is the nearer edge used by the detector to assess a return to the area; the distal boundary is its farther edge. The chart draws the proximal line thicker and the distal line dashed. Planned entry and stop levels may be placed beyond those boundaries using the detector's buffer rules. Inspect the actual prices before saving an alert rather than treating the colored area as an exact executable order.
How zones connect to alerts
Review the pattern, boundaries, freshness, and target context, then choose whether a level deserves monitoring. You can place entry, stop-loss, and target lines and create a chart-based trade setup. If you only need one crossing notification, use the separate price-alert mode. Turning on the Zones overlay does not automatically create an alert or send a broker order.
Why can a zone change or disappear?
Switching interval or loading different candle history changes the input to the detector. New candles can test a zone or close through it; broken zones are discarded by the rules. An empty overlay can also reflect unavailable history or no qualifying pattern. Check the selected interval and data before concluding that an area has become safe or that no price structure exists.
Risk and limitation note
Support and resistance areas can fail. A zone overlay should be used as a review aid, not as guaranteed prediction or financial advice.
