Internal Pivot Pattern
By LuxAlgoJul 30, 2025
Internal Pivot Pattern confirms pivot highs and lows the moment a candle closes, reading the bar's lower-timeframe data instead of waiting for neighbors to finish forming. Classic detection asks the middle bar of a window to prove itself against several bars on each side, which builds in lag; this build inspects the swing inside the current candle and calls it immediately.
How to Trade the Internal Pivot Pattern?
- Pivot low detected: a potential bullish turn or continuation. Candles print blue while the latest pivot is a low.
- Pivot high detected: a potential bearish shift. Candles print orange while the latest pivot is a high.
- Zigzag lines: successive pivots are connected so the developing structure stays readable at a glance.
- Accuracy Dashboard: a pivot low counts as accurate when the next pivot prints higher, a pivot high when the next prints lower. Tune settings until the percentage earns your trust.
The Timeframe input controls sensitivity. A much lower timeframe than the chart produces fewer, stronger detections; one close to the chart timeframe fires more often but admits more noise, so scalpers and swing traders will land on different values.
