Initiative Analysis (IA) is an innovative technical analysis tool based on a unique concept of visualizing and analyzing the real battle between buyers and sellers.
What is IA and how does it work?IA identifies
initiatives on the chart — directional price moves caused by the actions of buyers or sellers. These initiatives form the three key phases of the market:
- Sideways range (consolidation)
- Trend
- Transitional period
Each initiative has a time limit and a price range. This helps traders clearly see:
- Who currently controls the market;
- What key levels and activity zones are forming;
- Where the price is likely to meet support or resistance.
Main Features and How to Read the Chart:✅ Identifying Buyer and Seller Initiatives (Dominant Zones)- A blue background shows a buyer’s initiative — buyers control the market and price is expected to rise (colors can be customized).
- A red background shows a seller’s initiative — sellers control the market and price is expected to fall.
✅ Key Price Levels- The bottom edge of the blue zone = potential demand/support level.
- The top edge of the red zone = potential supply/resistance level.
- The blue line = potential target level during bullish phases.
- The black line = potential target level during bearish phases.
✅ Levels Inside Initiatives- The indicator can show up to 5 levels inside each initiative (like Fibonacci levels), which you can set manually in the settings.
✅ Multi-Timeframe Analysis- Visual elements (initiatives, levels, targets) are shown for two timeframes at once: the current chart timeframe and a higher timeframe of your choice.
- This helps to do full analysis without switching charts.
✅ Customization- All colors and elements can be easily adjusted to fit your trading style.
💡 Why is IA useful for traders?- Color-coded zones make market context easy to understand: who’s in control, key levels, possible initiative change;
- Saves a lot of time on market analysis;
- Helps find return zones and high-potential entry points;
- Helps forecast potential price targets;
- Makes reading market structure simple and clear.
