Performance Context
How the W%, D%, 4h%, and 1h% columns add momentum context to level proximity, showing what the market did on the way to a level.
Every row in the Support & Resistance screener includes multi-timeframe performance metrics alongside the level data. These columns don't tell you where support or resistance is; they tell you what the market has been doing on the way there.
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| W% | Weekly performance |
| D% | Daily performance |
| 4h% | Four-hour performance |
| 1h% | One-hour performance |
Why Performance Context Matters
A price level alone doesn't tell you whether a trade is high or low probability. Context does. Two instruments may both be approaching the same type of support level, but one has been falling sharply all week while the other has been in a controlled bullish trend that's pulled back slightly. These are very different situations.
Performance columns let you assess that context without switching to a separate screener.
Reading the Performance Columns
Support Setup Example
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| W% | +1.20% |
| D% | +0.35% |
| 4h% | +0.04% |
| 1h% | +0.04% |
Interpretation: The weekly and daily trends are positive, and the instrument has pulled back to support with slowing short-term momentum. This profile is consistent with a trend continuation setup: buyers have been in control at higher timeframes, and the pullback has brought price back to a level where they may re-engage.
Caution Example
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| W% | -2.40% |
| D% | -1.10% |
| 4h% | -0.60% |
| 1h% | -0.30% |
Interpretation: An instrument appears in the Support tab but is showing broad weakness across all timeframes. In this case, "at support" may simply be a waypoint on the way to lower levels. Price touching support in a declining market is less reliable than touching support in a rising market.
Applying This in Practice
When evaluating a support setup, look for:
- Positive W% and D%: the overall trend is bullish
- Flat or slightly negative 4h% and 1h%: the pullback is shallow and losing momentum
- Price near S Lvl1 or S Lvl2: the level is relevant and nearby
When evaluating a resistance setup, look for:
- Negative W% and D%: the overall trend is bearish
- Flat or slightly positive 4h% and 1h%: a short-term bounce that's losing steam
- Price near R Lvl1 or R Lvl2: the level is likely to attract sellers
Performance data is a filter, not a trigger. Use it to prioritize the highest-quality setups and skip the ambiguous ones.
Combining with Other Screens
Pair level proximity with the Performance, Breakouts, and Relative Strength screeners to learn not just where price is, but what it is doing.
