What does this zone score calculator do?
A demand zone strength calculator rates a zone out of 7 on three parameters: freshness (3 points if never tested, 1.5 if tested once, 0 if tested more), leg-out strength (2 for two or more exciting candles or an exciting candle with a gap, 1 for a single one) and time at the base (2 for 1–3 candles, 1 for 4–5, 0 for 6).
How is a demand zone's strength scored?
The trade score adds three parameters that each reflect how strongly institutions acted at the zone: whether the zone still has unfilled orders, how forcefully price left it, and how quickly the decision was made. The maximum is 7. The same scoring applies to supply zones, since they are the mirror image of demand zones.
Score = Freshness (0–3) + Leg-out (1–2) + Base candles (0–2) Maximum = 7| Parameter | Condition | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Freshness | Fresh — never tested | 3 |
| Freshness | Tested once | 1.5 |
| Freshness | Tested twice or more | 0 |
| Leg-out | Two or more exciting candles, or one exciting candle with a gap | 2 |
| Leg-out | A single exciting candle, no gap | 1 |
| Base candles | 1 to 3 | 2 |
| Base candles | 4 to 5 | 1 |
| Base candles | 6 | 0 |
| Base candles | More than 6 | Not a valid zone |
How are freshness, leg-out and base candles judged?
Freshness carries the most weight because every test absorbs some of the pending orders at the zone. A zone counts as tested as soon as price enters the zone area, whether by wick or body; the body-to-wick rule is for marking the zone, not for deciding whether it has been tested.
- Leg-out: an exciting candle is a large-bodied candle whose body is more than half its full range. A gap after the base adds strength equal to a second exciting candle, because price skipped levels entirely.
- Base candles: fewer base candles mean a faster decision and more concentrated orders. Six base candles still form a zone but earn 0 points; more than six means the area is consolidation, not a valid zone.
- Same timeframe: count tests on the timeframe you are trading; a lower-timeframe wiggle does not change a higher-timeframe zone's freshness.
What does each score grade mean?
The calculator converts the total into a grade so zones can be ranked quickly. A 7 is an ideal zone, a 6 a good one, and anything from 4 to 5.5 is weaker and lower priority. Below 4 the zone is usually skipped. The grade is a ranking aid; it does not estimate the probability of a trade working.
| Total score | Grade | Typical treatment |
|---|---|---|
| 7 | Ideal | Highest priority |
| 6 | Good | Trade normally if the rest of the plan fits |
| 4 to 5.5 | Weaker — lower priority | Only when nothing stronger is available |
| Below 4 | Weak — usually skip | Usually passed over |
| More than 6 base candles | Invalid zone | Not scored as a zone |
How do you compare two zones with the score?
The score is a comparison tool for zones on the same execution timeframe. When two zones compete for your attention or capital, score both and prefer the higher one, other things being equal. Scoring forces you to check each parameter instead of picking the zone that simply looks bigger.
Can a lower-scoring zone be the better trade?
Yes. The score ignores coincidence — whether the zone sits inside a higher-timeframe zone. A coinciding zone has orders from two timeframes behind it, so a zone scoring 6 that lies fully inside a weekly demand zone may be preferred over a zone scoring 7 that has no higher-timeframe support. A non-coinciding zone should generally be traded only in the direction of the trend.
| Zone | Score | Higher-timeframe context | Usual preference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily zone X | 7 (Ideal) | Not inside any weekly zone | Only with the trend |
| Daily zone Y | 6 (Good) | Fully inside a weekly demand zone | Often preferred despite the lower score |
What does the zone score not measure?
The score rates the zone itself, not the whole trade. It does not check the trend, the room to the next opposing zone, the risk reward ratio or the size of the stop. A 7/7 zone with a target blocked by nearby supply is still a poor trade, and any zone can fail regardless of its score.
Frequently asked questions
How do you rate the strength of a demand zone?
Score three things and add them. Freshness: 3 if never tested, 1.5 if tested once, 0 if tested more. Leg-out: 2 for two or more exciting candles or one with a gap, 1 for a single exciting candle. Base: 2 for 1–3 candles, 1 for 4–5, 0 for 6. A total of 7 is ideal, 6 good, 4–5.5 weaker and below 4 weak.
Does the same score work for supply zones?
Yes. A supply zone is the mirror image of a demand zone, so freshness, leg-out strength and base-candle count are judged the same way. For a supply zone the leg-out moves down, and a gap down after the base counts like a second exciting candle. Coincidence is checked against higher-timeframe supply zones instead of demand zones.
Demand zone ka score kaise nikale?
Teen cheezein dekhein. Freshness: zone kabhi test nahi hua to 3, ek baar test hua to 1.5, usse zyada to 0. Leg-out: do ya zyada exciting candles ya ek candle ke saath gap ho to 2, sirf ek exciting candle ho to 1. Base candles: 1–3 par 2, 4–5 par 1, 6 par 0. Total 7 ho to ideal zone mana jata hai.
Why is a zone with more than six base candles invalid?
A long base suggests price was consolidating rather than institutions making a quick, concentrated decision. Under this framework, one to three base candles earn full points, four or five earn one point, six earn nothing, and anything longer is not treated as a demand or supply zone at all. The calculator marks such inputs as an invalid zone.
Should I always trade the zone with the highest score?
Not always. The score compares zones on the same timeframe, but coincidence with a higher-timeframe zone can matter more: a zone scoring 6 that sits inside a weekly demand zone may be preferred over a 7 with no support. Trend, room to the target and the risk reward ratio also have to fit before any zone becomes a trade.
