SignalsPivot Based (Retrospective)

The Pivot Reversal Strategy with Alerts - Ru++ indicator provides automated signals based on pivot high and low points to identify potential market reversals and trend shifts.

Usage

The Usage section focuses on identifying price exhaustion and subsequent trend changes. A "BUY" signal is generated when a pivot low is confirmed and price action suggests a reversal to the upside. Conversely, a "SELL" signal is triggered when a pivot high is established and price action indicates a potential move lower.

Users can use these signals to:

  • Identify potential entry points following a swing high or low.
  • Filter out noise by adjusting the lookback periods for pivot detection.
  • Automate trading workflows using the integrated alert conditions for "BUY-Autoview" and "SELL-Autoview".

Details

The script utilizes the ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() functions to detect structural turning points. It requires a specific number of bars to the left (to establish the peak/trough) and to the right (to confirm the peak/trough).

To ensure signal quality, the logic includes:

  • Price Filtering: Signals are held until specific price thresholds relative to the pivot levels are met or invalidated.
  • Directional Filtering: The script prevents simultaneous buy and sell signals.
  • Consecutive Entry Filtering: The logic ensures that signals alternate (e.g., a buy signal must be followed by a sell signal before another buy can occur), reducing repetitive signals in choppy markets.

Settings

  • Left Bars: The number of bars to the left of a candle required to determine if it is a pivot high or low. Increasing this value makes the indicator more selective.
  • Right Bars: The number of bars to the right of a candle required to confirm a pivot point. Higher values increase the lag but improve the reliability of the reversal detection.
