Pivot Reversal Strategy + alerts via TradingConnector to indices

The Pivot Reversal Strategy + alerts via TradingConnector to indices indicator is a trend-reversal trading tool designed to identify significant market turning points using pivot highs and lows while providing automated alert outputs for external execution.

Usage

The Usage section describes how the script can be used to identify potential market reversals. The strategy plots pivot points based on historical price action and places stop orders at these levels to capture breakout momentum following a reversal.

• Long Entry (PivRevLE): When a pivot high is confirmed, the strategy prepares to enter a long position if the price breaks above that high.
• Short Entry (PivRevSE): When a pivot low is confirmed, the strategy prepares to enter a short position if the price breaks below that low.

To use this script for automated trading, users should configure a TradingView alert and select "alert() function calls only" in the Create Alert popup. This allows the strategy to send 'long' or 'short' messages to external bridges like TradingConnector for execution on platforms such as MetaTrader 4 or 5.

Details

The script is a modified version of the classic Pivot Reversal strategy, optimized for modern Pine Script (v5/v6) and alert connectivity. It functions by looking for a specific number of bars to the left and right of a high or low to determine if a pivot has occurred. Once a pivot is identified, it acts as a price ceiling (for shorts) or floor (for longs). A trade is triggered only when the price crosses these established pivot levels, confirming the reversal momentum.

Settings

• Left Bars: The number of bars to the left of the pivot candle required to identify a high or low.
• Right Bars: The number of bars to the right of the pivot candle required to confirm the high or low.
