Trend Line Fibonacci [TLF]

The Trend Line Fibonacci [TLF] indicator is an adaptive price-based scalping tool designed to identify trend shifts and support/resistance zones using multiple Fibonacci-derived lookback periods.

Usage

The Trend Line Fibonacci [TLF] is primarily used for scalping on lower timeframes such as the 1-minute, 5-minute, and 30-minute charts. Users can interpret the indicator through the relationship between the trend line (pxTendance) and the optimal pivot line (pxOptimal).

• Trend Direction: When the green optimal line is above the red trend line, the market is considered in a bullish phase, typically highlighted by a green shaded zone. Conversely, when the red line is above the green line, the sentiment is bearish.
• Crossovers: A crossover of the optimal pivot line above the trend line can signal a potential long entry, while a crossunder may indicate a short opportunity.
• Dynamic Support/Resistance: The lines act as adaptive levels that react to price volatility based on historical Fibonacci lookback lengths.

Details

The indicator is a Pine Script implementation of the popular "Trend Line Fibonacci" tool found on platforms like MT4 and ProRealCode. It functions by calculating four distinct "Zone Pivots" based on the highest highs and lowest lows over Fibonacci lookback periods (55, 89, 144, and 233).

The script then calculates:

1. Pivot Premier: An average of the four zone pivots and the current close.
2. Extreme High/Low: Identifies the outermost boundaries of the calculated pivots to determine the trend state.
3. Trend Line (pxTendance): A tracking line that follows the extreme boundaries based on whether price is currently trending above or below the pivot extremes.
4. Optimal Pivot (pxOptimal): A smoothed average used to trigger signals when it interacts with the trend line.

Settings

• Fib lookback Length 1 (55): The first Fibonacci period used to calculate local price extremes.
• Fib lookback Length 2 (89): The second Fibonacci period for intermediate price tracking.
• Fib lookback Length 3 (144): The third Fibonacci period for medium-term trend analysis.
• Fib lookback Length 4 (233): The longest Fibonacci period used for macro-adaptive calculations.
