MTF Bitfinex Longs vs. Shorts Support/Resistance [checkm8]
Hello and welcome to my multi-timeframe support and resistance indicator based on margin longs and shorts on Bitfinex :D
The premise of the script is simple. It draws support and resistance levels based on large margin movements (effectively showing the break-even points of those positions), where:
You can select your desired timeframe for the script to show the levels on. The script draws two sets of lines, one based on medium-sized movements and another based on large movements, where you can also manually input the size of the movements for it to track. By default, the script is optimized for 1-hour timeframes on BTCUSD, where the medium sized movements are set to bullish/bearish pressures of over 500 BTC, and large movements based on pressures of over 1000 BTC.
If you choose to use a different currency pair (ex. LTCUSD, ETCUSD, EOSUSD, etc..) you must adjust the volume that the script tracks, as tracking something like a 500 margin long in XRPUSD is useless. This also applies to timeframes, as timeframes lower than 1 hour may require smaller input values, while larger timeframes will require larger movements.
In addition, there is an input for the source. I recommend leaving this setting at hlc3 , because this will capture a more appropriate break-even points for the S/R levels.
A few tips:
Happy trading and feel free to reach out with feedback and suggestions! :D

A few tips:
- If the current price is under a bullish support/resistance level, this implies that the bullish margin positions are underwater (the price is below their long break-evens), ie. shorts closed at the top or longs were entered at the top
- If the current price is above a bullish support/resistance level, this implies that the bullish margin positions are in profit and will act as support (they will support their long break-even points)
- If the current price is under a bearish support/resistance level, this implies that the bearish margin positions are in profit and will act as resistance (the price is below their short break-evens)
- If the current price is above a bearish support/resistance level, this implies that the bearish margin positions are underwater (the price is above their short break-evens), ie. shorts entered at the bottom or longs were closed at the bottom
