Pivot

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 Reversal Strategy + alerts via TradingConnector to indicesSoftware part of algotrading is simpler than you think. TradingView is a great place to do this actually. To present it, I'm publishing each of the default strategies you can find in Pinescript editor's "built-in" list with slight modification - I'm only adding 2 lines of code, which will trigger alerts, ready to be forwarded to your broker via TradingConnector and instantly executed there. Alerts added in this script: 14 and 22. How it works: 1. TradingView alert fires. 2. TradingConnector catches it and forwards to MetaTrader4/5 you got from your broker. 3. Trade gets executed inside MetaTrader within 1 second of fired alert. When configuring alert, make sure to select "alert() function calls only" in CreateAlert popup. One alert per ticker is required. Adding stop-loss, take-profit, trailing-stop, break-even or executing pending orders is also possible. These topics have been covered in other example posts. This routing works for Forex, indices, stocks, crypto - anything your broker offers via their MetaTrader4 or 5. Disclaimer: This concept is presented for educational purposes only. Profitable results of trading this strategy are not guaranteed even if the backtest suggests so. By no means this post can be considered a trading advice. You trade at your own risk. If you are thinking to execute this particular strategy, make sure to find the instrument, settings and timeframe which you like most. You can do this by your own research only.

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

MTF Order Block FinderAn Order Block is a special type of pivot point that satisfies the following requirement: A Bull/Bear candle followed by X consecutive candles in the opposite direction. Order Blocks are interesting areas that are frequently revisited and can be treated as Support/Resistance levels. Often, you can see explosive price rejection of these areas via long wicks, high volume, and rapid price change. Features Choose from two themes: - LIGHT: a classic Red and Green representing Bearish and Bullish OBs, respectively - DARK: a clean Blue and White scheme Choose from two drawing styles: - LINE: three lines representing the High, Low, and Mid price levels of the OB candle - BOX: a bounded area similar to the "rectangle" tool Chose a custom timeframe: - From 1 Minute (useful for Seconds interval) up to 1 Month Note, this setting is experimental and choosing a timeframe that is extraordinarily large may not function properly. Filter order blocks with two settings: - Number of consecutive bars - Minimum % change of the potential OB bar (default 0.25%) Keep your charts clean and show only relevant OBs - Maximum number of Bullish zones to show - Maximum number of Bearish zones to show FAQ Q: How do I trade with this indicator? A:Personally, I use a fast entry indicator to confirm Long/Short position when price is rejected. I set my SL and TP based on the current Zone and the next one, if available. Q: Does this repaint? A:Yes and this is okay! The "Bear" and "Bull" signals are not meant for taking positions, only showing which candle reveals the Order Block. The Zone is much more useful to us and can result in several successful trades in the near future when treated as a support/resistance area. Q What's the winrate? A:Hard to say - this isn't a standalone strategy and I haven't been able to properly backtest it quite yet.

Volume Pressure Analysis - OverlayVolume Pressure Analysis is designed to show effort required to move price. This script is the overlay version that displays signals on the candles as well as changes the bar colors. Yellow arrows signal pressure in that direction and excessive amounts of volume is required to move price. These signals can lead to reversal/pivot points as price action struggles to continue its trend. Red and teal arrows indicate free flowing price action where very little effort or volume is needed to push price. These signals can confirm the beginning or continuation of a trend and is the natural direction the chart wants to travel at that time. For more information please check out the main Volume Pressure Analysis indicator.

On-Balance Volume Oscillator with Divergence and PivotsThis is On-Balance Volume recalculated to be an Oscillator, a Divergence hunter was added, also Pivot Points and Alerts. On-Balance Volume, or OBV is considered a "leading indicator" - in contrast to a "lagging indicator" just as Moving Averages it does not show a confirmation what already happened, but it shows what can happen in the future. For example: The chart is climbing while the OBV oscillator is slowly declining, gets weaker and weaker, maybe even prints bearish divergences? That means that a reversal might be occurring soon. Leading indicators are best paired with Stop and Resistance Lines, general Trendlines, Fib Retracements etc...Your chart is approaching a very important Resistance Trendline but the OBV shows a very positive signal? That means there is a high probability that the Resistance is going to be pushed though and becomes Support in the future. What are those circles? -These are Divergences. Red for Regular-Bearish. Orange for Hidden-Bearish. Green for Regular-Bullish. Aqua for Hidden-Bullish. What are those triangles? - These are Pivots. They show when the OBV oscillator might reverse, this is important to know because many times the price action follows this move. Please keep in mind that this indicator is a tool and not a strategy, do not blindly trade signals, do your own research first! Use this indicator in conjunction with other indicators to get multiple confirmations.

Dynamic Pivot Box for Month and YearThe basic idea of the ‘Dynamic Pivot Box’ is to show only the Pivots that are closer to the Price. This is, the nearest pivots acting as support and resistance; thus hiding all other pivots which are further away from the price and also hiding the pivots from previous periods… Pivots will be hidden until price breaks out from the current box and moves to the next one. Hopefully, with this change you can focus more on the actual price action/ price patterns on the chart rather than on several/ noisy lines on the screen. **Please note that the recommended use for this indicator is on the daily or higher timeframes if you want to see Year pivots... Monthly pivots can be still seen on the hourly chart, but I am afraid that lower timeframes will not plot the indicator properly.** The Pivots are taken from Frank Ochoa’s book ‘Secrets of a Pivot Boss’, so if you are not familiar with them, I would recommend you to first take a look at the theory behind them. The Pivots in this indicator are divided in two groups: ‘Standard pivot’ and ‘Camarilla’ pivots.; and then this latter is group is divided in two also: the ‘Main Camarilla’ and ‘Regular Camarilla pivot’. You can select which groups of pivots are taken into account for the ‘Dynamic Pivot Box’. If you decide to select all Three Groups: ‘Standard Pivot’, ‘Main Camarilla’ and ‘Regular Camarilla pivot’ you will see ALWAYS 4 pivots surrounding the price. My recommendation is to select only ‘Standard Pivot’ and ‘Main Camarilla’ so that you see only between 2-3 pivots on the screen. This recommended view is actually the default settings. In addition, if you want to further reduce noise from the chart, you can unselect the ‘Lines’ option within the SETTINGS/ STYLE menu. What you see on the chart/sample is actually this indicator plotted twice: 1. Year Pivots which have the default settings and are shown as white ines 2. Month Pivots have also the default settings BUT I also selected the option ‘Previous Pivots’ to show the pivots from previous period , and also I unselected the ‘Lines’ options as mentioned above to reduce noise. You are more than welcome to enhance the current version, my only ask is to please share the enhanced version back with the community. I wish I could make amends or modify the current version myself but I actually just came up with the idea and I paid a coder in Fiverr to develop it.

Pivot High/Low Analysis & Forecast [LuxAlgo]Returns pivot points high/low alongside the percentage change between one pivot and the previous one (Δ%) and the distance between the same type of pivots in bars (Δt). The trailing mean for each of these metrics is returned on a dashboard on the chart. The indicator also returns an estimate of the future time position of the pivot points. This indicator by its very nature is not real-time and is meant for descriptive analysis alongside other components of the script. This is normal behavior for scripts detecting pivots as a part of a system and it is important you are aware the pivot labels are not designed to be traded in real-time themselves 🔶 USAGE The indicator can provide information helping the user to infer the position of future pivot points. This information is directly used in the indicator to provide such forecasting. Note that each metric is calculated relative to the same type of pivot points. It is also common for analysts to use pivot points for the construction of various figures, getting the percentage change and distance for each pivot point can allow them to eventually filter out points of non-interest. 🔹 Forecast We use the trailing mean of the distance between respective pivots to estimate the time position of future pivot points, this can be useful to estimate the location of future tops/bottoms. The time position of the forecasted pivot is given by a vertical dashed line on the chart. We can see a successful application of this method below: Above we see the forecasted pivots for BTCUSD15. The forecast of interest being the pivot high. We highlight the forecast position with a blue dotted line for reference. After some time we obtain a new pivot high with a new forecast. However, we can see that the time location of this new pivot high matches perfectly with the prior forecast. The position in time for the forecast is given by: x1_ph + E x1_pl + E where x1_ph denotes the position in time of the most recent pivot high. x1_pl denotes the position in time of the most recent pivot low and E the average distance between respective pivot points. 🔶 SETTINGS Length: Window size for the detection of pivot points. Show Forecasted Pivots: Display forecast of future pivot points. 🔹 Dashboard Dashboard Location: Location of the dashboard on the chart Dashboard Size: Size of the dashboard on the chart Text/Frame Color: Determines the color of the frame grid as well as the text color

Zig Zag Channels [LuxAlgo]The Zig Zag indicator is a useful indicator when it comes to visualizing past underlying trends in the price and can make the process of using drawing tools easier. The indicator consists of a series of lines connecting points where the price deviates more than a specific percentage from a maximum/minimum point ultimately connecting local peaks and troughs. This indicator by its very nature backpaints by default, meaning that the displayed components are offset in the past. 🔶 USAGE The Zig Zag indicator is commonly used to returns points of references for the usage of specific drawing tools, such as Fibonacci retracements, fans, squares...etc. The proposed indicator estimates peaks and troughs by using rolling maximums/minimums with a window size determining their significance. This window size approach allows us to have an indicator that works with a certain regularity no matter the scale of the price, something the percentage-based approach struggles with. Additionally, one upper and lower extremity are displayed, highlighting the price point that deviates the most from the Zig Zag lines. A common usage also includes the easy determination of Elliot wave patterns in the price. The Zig Zag indicator above highlights a downtrending motive wave. 🔹 Extremities The novel approach taken by this Zig Zag indicator is the addition of two extremities derived from the distance between the price and the Zig Zag line, thus returning channels. It is uncommon seeing extremities in Zig Zag indicators since the line connecting peaks and troughs has rarely any other utility than seeing trend variations with more clarity and is not meant to provide an accurate estimate of underlying local trends in the price. This channel can be useful to study the potential relationship between underlying trends and the Zig Zag line. A low width between the Zig Zag and the upper extremity indicates price variations mostly located below the Zig Zag while equal width indicates more linear trends. When the indicator is extended to the last line, the extremities provide potential support and resistances, thus making this indicator able to forecast price variations. 🔶 SETTINGS Length: Determines the significance of the detected peaks and troughs. Extend To Last Bar: Extend the most recent line to the most recent closing price value. Show Extremities: Displays the extremities. Show Labels: Display labels highlighting the high/low prices located at peaks and troughs. 🔹 Style Upper Extremity Color: Color of the upper extremity displayed by the indicator. Zig Zag Color: Color of the ZigZag lines. Lower Extremity Color: Color of the lower extremity displayed by the indicator.

Stronger Classical Support/Resistance + Round LevelsI wrote some Support/Resistance scripts before this. In this new script, I implemented the logic of the code from the scratch, so it's very different from my previous S/R indicators and I think it's more advanced, accurate and efficient. As the result it could do the followings for now: - Draw more strong classical resistance/support levels by checking previous direction changes of the chart as far as Pine technically allows - Colorize the levels based on the counted points of retracement/pullback (The darker the color is, the stronger the level is.) - Show the number of reactions to each level - Change the color of each level based on its main role as support, resistance or both - Draw close round levels to current price for Forex pairs I suggest all users of my previous S/R indicators to try this one. Feel free to send me any issue or opinion!

Developing Pivot Range [Swastik]This is the developing cpr indicator made by Swastik. It shows how the cpr is developing as the day is progressing. The colour of the range is red when tc is below bc and green when tc is above bc . While calculating the value of cpr , the high is the high from starting of the session and low is the low from starting of the session till that specific candle. This also shows that the trend is developing. If the colour is red and the range starts widening, it means downtrend has started to develop and when the colour is green and range starts widening, it means uptrend is developing.

Zig Lines with Percent & ValueOverview, Features, and Usage: The Zig Lines with Percent & Value is an indicator that highlights the highest and lowest points of the market from pivot points and zigzag lines based on the ZigZag Period setting. By a default value of 13 for the ZigZag Period this works well on Bitcoin or other alt coins on the 1 hour or higher timeframe charts. What makes this indicator unique is that it draws a green line to signify an uptrend or a red line to signify a down trend. It will also show the percent difference between the previous point/line, for example: If you see a -negative percentage point with a red line drawn to it, then you are looking at a low pivot point and then as the green line is drawn to a +positive percentage value the percentage you see is the difference between the two points. This is great to see a trend reversal as you can look at previous pivot points and notice about how far the price moves before it changes direction (trend reversal). There is an invisible EMA line that is used to assist with coloring the negative vs positive values. The value above or below the percentage is the lowest or highest price at that pivot point . The display of the price at the pivot point depends on your ZigZag Period setting and the timeframe of your chart. Added Bollinger Bands as it fits perfectly with the visuals of the Zig Lines & Pivots. Usage of Bollinger Bands: ~As the price or candle gets close to the top or bottom of the Bollinger band it can give you a better confirmation that the pivot location is at it's final place, and the trend is more likely to switch directions. It’s important to know this indicator should not be used for alerts of any type it does repaint as the green or red line is drawing based on live chart data and it can change depending on the direction of the market. This is a great visual tool for trend analysis or to be used with other indicators as a confirmation for a possible good entry or exit position. Credits ( and consent to use ): Credits go to user LonesomeTheBlue for creation of this 'Double Zig Zag with HHLL' script. The addition of the Value above/below the Percentages is from user Noldo and that script is found here: The Bollinger Bands setup was suggested by user countseven12 and his script that uses the same BB setup is found here: References: 1.

Logging in Pine ScriptI'm building quite a lot of pretty complicated indicators/strategies in Pine Script. Quite often they don't work from the 1 try so I have to debug them heavily. In Pine Script there are no fancy debuggers so you have to be creative. You can plot values on your screens, check them in the data window, etc. If you want to display some textual information, you can plot some info as labels on the screen. It's not the most convenient way, so with the appearance of tables in Pine Script, I decided to implement a custom logger that will allow me to track some useful information about my indicator over time. Tables work much better for this kind of thing than labels. They're attached to your screen, you can nicely scale them and you can style them much better. The idea behind it is very simple. I used few arrays to store the message, bar number, timestamp, and type of the message (you can color messages depend on the type for example). There is a function log_msg that just append new messages to these arrays. In the end, for the last bar, I create the table and display the last X messages in it. In parameters, you can show/hide the entire journal, change the number of messages displayed and choose an offset. With offset, you can basically scroll through the history of messages. Currently, I implemented 3 types of messages, and I color messages according to these types: Message - gray Warning - yellow Error - red Of course, it's a pretty simple example, you can create a much fancier way of styling your logs. What do you think about it? Is it useful for you? What do you use to debug code in Pine Script? Disclaimer Please remember that past performance may not be indicative of future results. Due to various factors, including changing market conditions, the strategy may no longer perform as good as in historical backtesting. This post and the script don’t provide any financial advice.

Combo Backtest 123 Reversal & Pivot Point V2 This is combo strategies for get a cumulative signal. First strategy This System was created from the Book "How I Tripled My Money In The Futures Market" by Ulf Jensen, Page 183. This is reverse type of strategies. The strategy buys at market, if close price is higher than the previous close during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Slow Oscillator is lower than 50. The strategy sells at market, if close price is lower than the previous close price during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Fast Oscillator is higher than 50. Second strategy Pivot points simply took the high, low, and closing price from the previous period and divided by 3 to find the pivot. From this pivot, traders would then base their calculations for three support, and three resistance levels. The calculation for the most basic flavor of pivot points, known as ‘floor-trader pivots’, along with their support and resistance levels. WARNING: - For purpose educate only - This script to change bars colors.
