What BadBuddha's Zen Zones Does
Some candles matter more than others. A high-momentum bar — unusually large range, decisive close — records a moment when one side overwhelmed the other, and the area it launched from tends to stay relevant: price often reacts when it returns there. BadBuddha's Zen Zones finds those hot bars automatically and draws dynamic support and resistance zones around them.
Instead of hand-drawing boxes after every impulsive move, you get a chart where the origins of momentum are already mapped — zones to lean on for entries, targets, and risk placement.
How Traders Use It
Targets and partials
Opposing zones ahead of price are natural places to take profit or tighten stops.
Cleaner risk placement
Stops placed beyond a zone are anchored to structure the market actually produced, not to an arbitrary tick count.
