Pivot S/R with Volatility Filter## *📌 Indicator Purpose*
This indicator identifies *key support/resistance levels* using pivot points while also:
✅ Detecting *high-volume liquidity traps* (stop hunts)
✅ Filtering insignificant pivots via *ATR (Average True Range) volatility*
✅ Tracking *test counts and breakouts* to measure level strength
---
## *⚙ SETTINGS – Detailed Breakdown*
### *1️⃣ ◆ General Settings*
#### *🔹 Pivot Length*
- *Purpose:* Determines how many bars to analyze when identifying pivots.
- *Usage:*
- *Low values (5-20):* More pivots, better for scalping.
- *High values (50-200):* Fewer but stronger levels for swing trading.
- *Example:*
- Pivot Length = 50 → Only the most significant highs/lows over 50 bars are marked.
#### *🔹 Test Threshold (Max Test Count)*
- *Purpose:* Sets how many times a level can be tested before being invalidated.
- *Example:*
- Test Threshold = 3 → After 3 tests, the level is ignored (likely to break).
#### *🔹 Zone Range*
- *Purpose:* Creates a price buffer around pivots (±0.001 by default).
- *Why?* Markets often respect "zones" rather than exact prices.
---
### *2️⃣ ◆ Volatility Filter (ATR)*
#### *🔹 ATR Period*
- *Purpose:* Smoothing period for Average True Range calculation.
- *Default:* 14 (standard for volatility measurement).
#### *🔹 ATR Multiplier (Min Move)*
- *Purpose:* Requires pivots to show *meaningful price movement*.
- *Formula:* Min Move = ATR × Multiplier
- *Example:*
- ATR = 10 pips, Multiplier = 1.5 → Only pivots with *15+ pip swings* are valid.
#### *🔹 Show ATR Filter Info*
- Displays current ATR and minimum move requirements on the chart.
---
### *3️⃣ ◆ Volume Analysis*
#### *🔹 Volume Change Threshold (%)*
- *Purpose:* Filters for *unusual volume spikes* (institutional activity).
- *Example:*
- Threshold = 1.2 → Requires *120% of average volume* to confirm signals.
#### *🔹 Volume MA Period*
- *Purpose:* Lookback period for "normal" volume calculation.
---
### *4️⃣ ◆ Wick Analysis*
#### *🔹 Wick Length Threshold (Ratio)*
- *Purpose:* Ensures rejection candles have *long wicks* (strong reversals).
- *Formula:* Wick Ratio = (Upper Wick + Lower Wick) / Candle Range
- *Example:*
- Threshold = 0.6 → 60% of the candle must be wicks.
#### *🔹 Min Wick Size (ATR %)*
- *Purpose:* Filters out small wicks in volatile markets.
- *Example:*
- ATR = 20 pips, MinWickSize = 1% → Wicks under *0.2 pips* are ignored.
---
### *5️⃣ ◆ Display Settings*
- *Show Zones:* Toggles support/resistance shaded areas.
- *Show Traps:* Highlights liquidity traps (▲/▼ symbols).
- *Show Tests:* Displays how many times levels were tested.
- *Zone Transparency:* Adjusts opacity of zones.
---
## *🎯 Practical Use Cases*
### *1️⃣ Liquidity Trap Detection*
- *Scenario:* Price spikes *above resistance* then reverses sharply.
- *Requirements:*
- Long wick (Wick Ratio > 0.6)
- High volume (Volume > Threshold)
- *Outcome:* *Short Trap* signal (▼) appears.
### *2️⃣ Strong Support Level*
- *Scenario:* Price bounces *3 times* from the same level.
- *Indicator Action:*
- Labels the level with test count (3/5 = 3 tests out of max 5).
- Turns *red* if broken (Break Count > 0).
Deep Dive: How This Indicator Works*

Pivot and Wick Boxes with Break Signals v2█ OVERVIEW
The "Pivot and Wick Boxes with Break Signals v2" is an advanced Pine Script® technical analysis tool that identifies pivot points (highs and lows) on the chart and draws customizable boxes based on the wicks of pivot candles. It is ideal for traders using price action strategies, helping to identify key support and resistance levels and potential breakout trading opportunities. With flexible settings, a volume filter, and label grouping, the indicator ensures clarity and precision on the chart.
█ CONCEPTS
The indicator modifies how zones are drawn, displaying boxes on the latest candle rather than extending from the zones based on pivot candle wicks. This approach prevents visual clutter on the chart, allowing simultaneous use of other indicators without sacrificing clarity.
Why are wicks important?Wicks of pivot candles indicate significant market reactions in key areas. Depending on the context, they may signal rejection, testing, or absorption of support or resistance levels. Long wicks often appear where large players are active, and the marked zones are frequently retested. The indicator enables quick identification and observation of their impact on future price movements.
█ FEATURES
Pivot Detection: Identifies pivot points (highs and lows) based on a user-defined lookback period (Pivot Length), with options to display boxes for high and low pivot candle wicks separately.
Customizable Boxes: Draws boxes based on pivot candle wicks with adjustable border colors, background gradients, border styles (solid, dashed, dotted), and border widths.
Breakout Signals: Generates buy (green upward triangle) and sell (red downward triangle) signals when the price breaks through a pivot and the candle closes on the opposite side, indicating potential trend continuation. If the price approaches a pivot zone but fails to break it, this may suggest a potential trend reversal or the end of a correction.
Volume Filter: Optional volume-based signal filter that requires breakouts to have a volume exceeding a user-defined multiplier of the average volume over a specified period. Note: the volume filter will not work on markets where volume data is unavailable.
Label Grouping: Automatically groups overlapping pivot labels to avoid chart clutter, displaying only key price levels.
█ HOW TO USE
Add to Chart: Apply the indicator to your TradingView chart via the Pine Editor or Indicators menu.
Configure Settings:
Pivot Settings: Adjust Pivot Length to change the sensitivity of pivot detection—the value represents the number of candles, which equals the delay in displaying the pivot. Larger values generate fewer pivots, but they are generally more significant. Set Max High Pivot Boxes and Max Low Pivot Boxes to control the number of displayed boxes.
Signal Settings: Enable Use Volume Filter for Signals to require higher volume for breakouts, and adjust Average Volume Multiplier and Average Volume Period. A volume multiplier of 1 means the filter allows pivots with a volume equal to or greater than the average volume over the specified period.
Box Styling: Configure border colors, background gradients, line thickness, and border styles for high and low pivot boxes.
Interpreting Signals:
Buy Signal: A green triangle below the bar indicates a breakout above a high pivot box, suggesting potential continuation of an uptrend.
Sell Signal: A red triangle above the bar indicates a breakout below a low pivot box, suggesting potential continuation of a downtrend.
Non-Breakout Zones: If the price approaches a pivot zone but fails to break it, it may indicate a potential trend reversal or the end of a correction (e.g., price rejection at a resistance level in a downtrend or a support level in an uptrend).
Overlapping Zones: If pivot zones overlap, it indicates the level has been tested multiple times, suggesting its significance in the market.
Use signals in conjunction with other technical analysis tools for confirmation.
Monitoring Levels: Use labeled pivot levels as potential support and resistance zones for trade planning.
█ APPLICATIONS
Price Action Trading: Use pivot levels as support and resistance zones. For example, in an uptrend, you can look for buying opportunities near low pivot zones (support), where price often bounces after testing the wick of a pivot candle. Combining with other indicators, such as Fibonacci levels, enhances the significance of pivot zones—if they align with Fibonacci levels and are accompanied by high volume, the zone is considered stronger.
Breakout Strategies: Trade based on breakout signals from key pivot zones. A buy signal after a breakout from a high pivot with confirmed volume may indicate continued upward movement. Using the indicator with other tools, such as moving averages or RSI, can help confirm the strength of the breakout.
Practical Approach:
The more frequently a zone is tested in a short period, the higher the risk of a breakout, as supply or demand may be exhausted.
The longer a zone holds without breaking, the more significant it becomes for the market, both psychologically and technically.
As the saying goes: “A zone is strong until it breaks—when it does, a strong move often follows.”
How to observe?
Strong bounces from a zone indicate that demand or supply remains active.
Weaker bounces or price lingering near the level may suggest the market is preparing for a breakout.
█ NOTES
Test the indicator across different timeframes and markets (stocks, forex, crypto) to optimize settings for your trading style.
The volume filter will not work on markets where volume data is unavailable. In such cases, disable the volume filter in the settings.
For best results, use on high-liquidity markets when the volume filter is enabled.
Pivots and SwingsThis indicator displays simple pivots of varying degrees and connects them into swings whilst displaying the information of each swing.
First order pivot highs are confirmed when the N number of bars each side of the bar in question have a lower high whilst a first order pivot low is confirmed when the N number of bars on each side of the bar in question have a higher low. In this script N is set to 2 as a default, so when the middle bar of a set of 5 bars has the highest high, then it is considered a first order pivot high and vice versa for lows.
Second order pivot highs are confirmed when a first order pivot is higher than the first order pivot points on either side of the pivot point in question. Second order pivot lows are confirmed when a first order pivot low is lower than the first order pivot lows either side of the pivot in question.
Third order pivots follow the same logic but consider the highest and lowest second order pivots
A quick note on how the bars are coloured basis trends. If price breaks through the last first order pivot high, the bars will be coloured in a (default) green sequence and will stay green until price moves back below the most recent first order pivot low, at which time it will revert to a (default) red sequence.
The information about the duration and magnitude of the swings are displayed in an effort to identify when a swing leg of an overall trend may be shortening which signifies a weakening trend, or lengthening to signify a trend that is gaining in strength.
I hope you find this indicator useful!

Pivot Clouds [SS]Hey everyone,
Whopper indicator here that I have been working on for some time, excited to finally release it! So let's get into it!
☁️☁️ What are Pivot Clouds?! ☁️☁️
The concept for pivot clouds came from trailing and erroring different iterations of support and resistance (which ultimately led to the creation of the BIN Based Support and Resistance indicator).
In the design and creation of my BIN support and resistance indicator, I initially tried to do something similar with pivot points. However, I found pivots to be relatively ineffective as support and resistance, especially in very trendy markets, and the BIN approach reigned supreme. However, not wanting to abandon the utility of pivots, I tried something different, creating a pivot based SMA.
This proved most useful and very helpful for determining directions, rejections and trends! From there, came this indicator, the Pivot Clouds. This is currently iteration 32 haha, which will be the final iteration for the time being and most functional.
The pivot cloud indicator works by smoothing pivot highs and pivot lows over the course of your inputted length. My general suggestion is to keep it between 150 to 250. Going to low will make it incredibly choppy. Using 200 seems to be the sweet spot for most tickers.
Over the course of the pivot lookback, it collects all pivot highs and pivot lows, then averages them out to create 2 separate SMAs, those being an SMA for the pivot high and an SMA for the pivot low. Together, these create the cloud you see in the main chart.
In addition to creating this cloud, the indicator marks and tracks pivot maxes to both the upside and downside and will draw cloud support on a fall below the main cloud and cloud resistance on a rise above the main cloud, as exampled here:
Above:
And Below:
These clouds represent the average of the pivot high/pivot low and extend to the max or min (high or low depending on position on the main cloud).
💡 Alternative Abilities 💡
Resulting from the sometimes inadequacy of pivots to determine targets and resistance/support, the indicator is capable of pulling in ATR target prices. This allows the user to either use both, pivot max/min clouds AND ATR targets, or simply one or the other.
The ATR targets can be customized in the indicator settings, with a default of daily timeframe targets on a 14 ATR lookback.
Here are some examples of how the ATR targets look:
And to the upside:
📈 Standalone Strategy 📈
This indicator can be used as a standalone strategy, or to complement other strategies. I will go over both briefly, starting with standalone strategy:
Select your target preference (ATR, Pivot Maxes and Mins or both)
Long on a break and hold over the main cloud to the targets; or
Shrot on a break below the main cloud to the targets.
That simple!
🎯Supplemental to existing Strategy 🎯
This indicator for me is gold for my strategy, which involves longing or shorting to calculated target prices.
You essentially follow the above, only your targets are determined by your strategy. So for me, I look for a rejection or hold of the cloud, to long or short to my targets:
💰Customizing the Indicator 💰
Let's quickly go over these options:
Smooth length: Creates a smooth cloud. Suggested limits are 150 - 250
Lookback Length: This determines the length of lookback for the indicator to store historical pivot information and create the clouds.
Pivot Lookforward/backward: Allows the user to select custom pivot timeframes. The traditional rule is 10, but 5 sometimes is preferred on larger timeframes.
Show Pivot Max and Min: These enables the pivot max and min cloud for a crossover or crossunder of the main cloud.
ATR timeframe: determines the ATR target price levels to look for. You can toggle weekly, daily, hourly, whichever you prefer.
ATR Length: Allows you to customize the lookback for determining the ATR targets.
USE ATR targets: This will turn on / off the ATR targets, if you wish to use/not use these reference points with the indicator, same as with the pivot max and min cloud toggle.
And that's the indicator, folks!
Hope you like it,
Take care and safe trades!🚀
Pivot Support & ResistanceHere signals are based on the pivot high and pivot lows. Factors taken into account in understanding the breakout or breakdown are:
volume
candle bar is not opening candle
must be near pivot high or low
Recommendation:
Use once candle closes else you might get trapped in certain cases so be careful
Pivot trend indicatorThis is a LAGGING indicator which can provide a good indication of trend. It require a certain (configurable) number of candles to have closed before it can determine whether a pivot has formed.
It provides a 20 period SMA for the timeframe of your choice which is color coded to show the trend according to confirmed pivots.
Anticipated usage:
Long / Short bias is determined by pivot trend
Trader seeks entries according to their strategy
Black consolidation areas may trigger a re-evaluation of the trade and can serve as good profit taking areas
The SMA colors:
Green -> Higher highs & Higher lows
Red -> Lower highs & Lowers lows
Black -> No clear trend from the pivots
Why the 20 SMA?
Feel free to adjust it for your purposes. I personally find that using a higher time frame 20 SMA is a better indication of trend than longer period MAs on shorter time frames. This can be seen from comparing the 20 daily SMA and 200 hourly SMA.
Pivot adjustment
The pivots use the selected time frame (not) the MA trend time frame. You can specify the left and right candles required to confirm a pivot
Pivots Fibonacci RetracementThis is a Fibonacci Retracement indicator based on Pivots.
The Fibonacci lines are always drawn between the LAST High Pivot (Red Triangle Down) and the LAST Low Pivot (Green Triangle Up)
Every time a new High or Low Pivot is found, the Fibonacci lines changes.
"RightBars" & "LeftBars" from Pivots are kept the same > "Bars"
In this example (BTCUSDT) the "Bars" are set as 10 (= period "Left" & "Right" where "Highs" & "Lows" are found):
This is the bigger picture:
If the settings are changed, for example "Bars" > 30, the Fibonacci lines are placed on different points:
If we need to take the previous "Low" Pivot ("Bars" > 45):
You see you need to change the "Bars" a bit to get what you want.
The extended Fibonacci levels (1.618 & 2) and (-0.618 & -1) are also included,
these can be used for future "Target-lines":
IF there is a NEW Pivot ("High" or "Low") which is visible because the Fibonacci lines HAVEN'T passed the "Red Triangle Down" or "Green Triangle Up" YET,
please WAIT until the close of that period, otherwise the "Triangle" possibly could still disappear again.
The dashed coloured lines and coloured Fibonacci numbers at the right are for easier readings and interpretation.

Pivot mtf semaphore support&resistance [LM]Hello Traders,
I would like to introduce you pivot semaphore mtf support&resistance levels. The idea is the same as my other S/R scripts to have a look at the important levels. The Semaphore is used to spot future multi-level Supports and Resistance zones. It is also useful to spot HL or LL or HH or LH zones. The script is based on amazing work of @LucF so really big thanks for your work on mtf line offsetting.
It has three settings:
First two settings are for higher timeframes
Third setting is setting for pivots on current timeframe
!!!! Very important is there is limitation in pinescript how many candles you can look back(4999) if you choose timeframes that are very distant from each other there is a chance that those lines won't show up
Hopefully you will enjoy
Cheers, Lukas
Pivot Target (5m Futures)I am new to both Futures Trading and Pivots. Looking for shorter-term profitable opportunities, I have investigated the use of pivots from a higher timeframe. All the work of this script is performed using two lines. It calculates the pivot from the previous 2-hour bar and draws this pivot line on the 5-minute timeframe. Many many times, the price will reach back to this pivot point - sometimes fairly quickly within the same horizontal pivot line and sometimes farther out (4-hours to 6-hours, or within the next few days). Price tends to reach the level around ninety percent of the time, making for plenty of short-term trading opportunities.
I get the best results when I see the price rise or fall from the pivot, along with a second indicator indicating a possible reversal (my favorite is Divergence for Many Indicators v4 by LonesomeTheBlue . Who knew divergence (both regular and hidden) was so common and useful for finding probable reversals? If I find the price above or below the pivot line with a second signal, I'll place a buy or sell within that same 2-hour window the price tends to return back to the higher timeframe pivot for a nice profit very quickly. Other times it does take a little longer to return with only a small percentage of time not returning within a reasonable amount of time, or very unusually, not at all. The image above shows a number of profitable trading opportunities using a combination of the Pivot Target and LonesomeTheBlue's Divergence for Many Indicators v4. You can further limit risk by only taking trades that are in the same direction of the overall trend, possibly confirmed on a higher timeframe.
This script will only be visible on the 5-minute timeframe the way it is written right now. I wouldn't suggest shorter or longer timeframes unless some editing is done by you. It doesn't seem to work as well with stocks, but is best on Futures due to the wave-like natures of the futures market. Trade safe, trade with the trend, use stops and limits appropriately and stay safe.
Pivot WebThe Pivot Web is a prototype with its base derived from TradingView's standard pivot point indicator plus inspiration from LuxAlgo's trendline work alongside my own observations/experiences.
The theory is that there's legitimacy, from a technical standpoint, pivot point calculations are an adequate gauge of momentum and sentiment because the same math was used under pressure by floor traders themselves. That calculation is centered on the average of high, low, and closing prices. This indicator creates trendlines connecting the last pivot, support, and resistance levels to the current ones. A dynamic visual cue could make it easier to assess if the price will continue or reverse the current trajectory. This method also shows us an excellent visual for volatility.
Key Takeaways:
This indicator draws new dynamic trendlines.
These new trendlines connect the past and present pivot point levels based on the timeframe you select.
Shorter timeframes = More trendlines
Price adherence to the path of these lines may offer insight for trading.
Lastly, note the first set of data in each new timeframe displays the current original pivot point levels along with the trendlines attached to their ending point. Most of the time this indicator leaves room by briefly highlighting the original static levels with all levels also being optional displays. Also note that a more stable asset may not require the outermost support and resistance levels. Like most time series analysis tools, the Pivot Web requires current data to function properly.
"Nature is pleased with simplicity, and nature is no dummy."
Pivot-Based Channels & Bands [Misu]█ This Indicator is based on Pivot detection to show bands and channels.
The pivot price is similar to a resistance or support level. If the pivot level is breached, the price should continue in that direction. Or the price could reverse at or near this level.
█ Usages:
Use channels as a support & resistance zone.
Use bands as a support & resistance zone. It is also very powerfull to use it as a breakout.
Use mid bands & mid channels as a trend direction or trade filter as a more usual moving average.
█ Parameters:
Show Pivot Bands: show bands.
Show Pivot Mid Band: show mid bands.
Show Pivot Channels: show channels.
Show Pivot Mid Channel: show mid channels.
Deviation: deviation used to calculate pivot points.
Depth: depth used to calculate pivot points.
Pivot Trend LevelsYou can use this indicator to detect the levels and trend.
I used the highest of the two last highest pivots and the lowest of the two last lowest pivots to calculate "max" and "min" or high level or low level.
I also calculate the average of the 4 values to reach the average line which could be a trend detector in higher lengths.
Default length is 3 but using 10 or 20 as length is really good as trending detector.
I need help to upgrade a trend detector system. please read the script for more information.
Thank you so much.
Pivot Point TrendOverview
A trend-following trailing line built from confirmed pivot highs/lows and ATR bands. The line turns green in uptrends and red in downtrends. A flip happens only when price closes on the other side of the opposite trail, helping filter noise.
How it works:
Finds confirmed swing points (pivots) and builds a smoothed center from them.
From that center, creates ATR-based bands.
The active trail “locks” in the trend: in uptrends it never moves down; in downtrends it never moves up.
Close above the prior upper trail → bullish; close below the prior lower trail → bearish.
Inputs
Pivot Point Period (prd) – strictness of pivot confirmation (delay = prd bars).
ATR Period (pd) and ATR Factor (factor) – band width; higher values = fewer flips.
Calculation timeframe (calcTF) – leave empty to use chart TF, or set a hard TF like 1D, 4H.
Show Center Line – optional central guide.
Line Width – trail thickness.
Alerts
Bullish Flip – trend turns bullish.
Bearish Flip – trend turns bearish.
Trend Changed – any flip event.
Usage tips
Typical crypto intraday starters: prd 2–5, pd 10–14, factor 2.5–3.5.
For smoother signals, compute on a higher TF (e.g., calcTF = 1D) and time entries on your lower TF.
Prefer actions on bar close of the calculation TF to avoid intrabar whipsaw.
Notes on repainting
The script uses request.security(..., lookahead_off). Pivots confirm after prd bars by design; once confirmed, the center and trails do not use future data. Evaluate flips on bar close for consistency, especially when calcTF > chart TF.

Pivot Percentile Trend - Strategy [presentTrading]
█ Introduction and How it is Different
The "Pivot Percentile Trend - Strategy" from PresentTrading represents a paradigm shift in technical trading strategies. What sets this strategy apart is its innovative use of pivot percentiles, a method that goes beyond traditional indicator-based analyses. Unlike standard strategies that might depend on single-dimensional signals, this approach takes a multi-layered view of market movements, blending percentile calculations with SuperTrend indicators for a more nuanced and dynamic market analysis.
This strategy stands out for its ability to process multiple data points across various timeframes and pivot lengths, thereby capturing a broader and more detailed picture of market trends. It's not just about following the price; it's about understanding its position in the context of recent historical highs and lows, offering a more profound insight into potential market movements.

Where traditional methods might react to market changes, the Pivot Percentile Trend strategy anticipates them, using a calculated approach to identify trend strengths and weaknesses. This foresight gives traders a significant advantage, allowing for more strategic decision-making and potentially increasing the chances of successful trades.
In essence, this strategy introduces a more comprehensive and proactive approach to trading, harnessing the power of advanced percentile calculations combined with the robustness of SuperTrend indicators. It's a strategy designed for traders who seek a deeper understanding of market dynamics and a more calculated approach to their trading decisions.

█ Strategy, How It Works: Detailed Explanation
🔶 Percentile Calculations
- The strategy employs percentile calculations to assess the relative position of current market prices against historical data.
- For a set of lengths (e.g., `length * 1`, `length * 2`, up to `length * 7`), it calculates the 75th percentile for high values (`percentilesHigh`) and the 25th percentile for low values (`percentilesLow`).
- These percentiles provide a sense of where the current price stands compared to recent price ranges.
Length - 10
Length - 15
🔶 SuperTrend Indicator
- The SuperTrend indicator is a key component, providing trend direction signals.
- It uses the `currentTrendValue`, derived from the difference between bull and bear strengths calculated from the percentile data.

🔶 Trend Strength Counts
- The strategy calculates counts of bullish and bearish indicators based on comparisons between the current high and low against high and low percentiles.
- `countBull` and `countBear` track the number of times the current high is above the high percentiles and the current low is below the low percentiles, respectively.
- Weak bullish (`weakBullCount`) and bearish (`weakBearCount`) counts are also determined by how often the current lows and highs fall within the percentile range.
*The idea of this strength counts mainly comes from 'Trend Strength Over Time' @federalTacos5392b
🔶 Trend Value Calculation
- The `currentTrendValue` is a crucial metric, computed as `bullStrength - bearStrength`.
- It indicates the market's trend direction, where a positive value suggests a bullish trend and a negative value indicates a bearish trend.
🔶 Trade Entry and Exit Logic
- The entry points for trades are determined by the combination of the trend value and the direction indicated by the SuperTrend indicator.
- For a long entry (`shouldEnterLong`), the `currentTrendValue` must be positive and the SuperTrend indicator should show a downtrend.
- Conversely, for a short entry (`shouldEnterShort`), the `currentTrendValue` should be negative with the SuperTrend indicating an uptrend.
- The strategy closes positions when these conditions reverse.
█ Trade Direction
The strategy is versatile, allowing traders to choose their preferred trading direction: long, short, or both. This flexibility enables traders to tailor their strategies to their market outlook and risk appetite.
█ Default Settings and Customization
1. Trade Direction: Selectable as Long, Short, or Both, affecting the type of trades executed.
2. Indicator Source: Pivot Percentile Calculations, key for identifying market trends and reversals.
3. Lengths for Percentile Calculation: Various configurable lengths, influencing the scope of trend analysis.
4. SuperTrend Settings: ATR Length 20, Multiplier 18, affecting indicator sensitivity and trend detection.
5. Style Options: Custom colors for bullish (green) and bearish (red) trends, aiding visual interpretation.

Pivot CrossoverThis indicator work on pivot point crossover. In this indicator use three pivot point
White color line is Pivot point for current bar.
Green/Red color line is Pivot point for last bar.
Yellow color line is Pivot point for 2nd last bar.
For long
if last pivot crossover above 2nd last pivot then go long
if current pivot crossover below last pivot then exit long
For short
if last pivot crossover below 2nd last pivot then go short
if last pivot crossover above last pivot then exit short
Pivot Points & Midlines with color selectorAdapted from Pinescript Manual's "Pivot Points Standard". Added extra levels and midlines as well as user inputs for color and a "show labels" on/off switch.
So this will show the Pivot level, the resulting levels R1,R2,R3,S1,S2,S3 and the midpoint lines between these.
User can choose the Higher timeframe period from which to calculate these pivot levels, as per the original script.
I like to add two of these to a chart, one for daily and one for weekly pivot levels.
If you don't need any particular level, just comment out the appropriate lines (one from each of the second last and third last blocks in the script).
Pivot Hilo Support n Resistance Levels R3-3 by JustUncleLThis is an update to the "Pivot HiLo Support n Resistance Levels" indicator, important updates are no re-painting; and different lengths available for each side of Pivot.
Description:
The Pivot Points are marked with "star" and with Optional Support and Resistance extension Levels shown.
Options:
Show Pivot Points (default true)
Pivot Length Left Side (default 7), the number of bars left hand side of the Pivot candle.
Pivot Length Right Side (default 3), the number of bars right hand side of the Pivot candle.
Show S/R Extension Levels (default true)
Maximum S/R Extension Length (default 0, no limit)
Show Pivot Labels (instead of "star") " " and " "
Revisions this release:
Added code to force Pivot to be always complete before drawing.
Added option for different length test for each side of Pivot.
Pivot Bollinger BandThis is a special kind of Bollinger Bands indicator that adapts to the market's pivot points. Instead of using regular price data, it first finds important swing highs and lows in the market (called pivot points). It then uses these pivot points to create a center line, which is like a moving average of where the market is pivoting.
Around this center line, it draws the classic Bollinger Bands - an upper and lower band that show where prices might find resistance or support. The distance between these bands changes based on market volatility, just like regular Bollinger Bands. You can adjust how sensitive it is to pivot points and how wide the bands should be.
By using pivot point based Bollinger Bands, we expect band breakout can be captured more effectively.
