Pivot Reversal Strategy Alerts

The Pivot Reversal Strategy Alerts indicator identifies potential trend reversals by monitoring price action relative to recent pivot highs and lows, providing clear visual signals for long and short entries.

Usage

The Usage section focuses on identifying market turning points based on the breach of established pivot levels.

• Long Entry (le): A long signal is generated when a pivot low is established, followed by price action that indicates a reversal from the bearish momentum.
• Short Entry (se): A short signal is generated when a pivot high is established, followed by price action that indicates a reversal from the bullish momentum.

The indicator includes internal filtering logic to prevent consecutive signals in the same direction and ensures that opposite signals are prioritized to provide a clear alternating strategy structure.

Details

The script utilizes the ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() functions to detect structural peaks and valleys. A pivot is confirmed only after a specific number of bars have passed to the right of the peak or valley, ensuring the level is a local extreme.

The strategy logic tracks the price level of the most recent pivot. For a short entry, the script identifies a pivot high and triggers once the trend begins to shift downward. Conversely, for a long entry, it identifies a pivot low and triggers once the trend begins to shift upward. The script is refactored for Pine Script v5/v6 and includes optimized alert conditions for real-time monitoring.

Settings

• Left Bars: The number of bars to the left of the potential pivot point required to confirm a local high or low. Increasing this value identifies more significant, longer-term structural points.
• Right Bars: The number of bars to the right of the potential pivot point required for confirmation. Note that higher values increase the lag of the signal but improve the reliability of the pivot detection.

FAQ

How do I use the Pivot Reversal Strategy Alerts?

You can apply the indicator to any timeframe and look for the "le" (long entry) and "se" (short entry) labels on the chart. These indicate when the price has reversed relative to a confirmed pivot point.

What do the "Left Bars" and "Right Bars" settings do?

These settings define the "strength" of the pivot. "Left Bars" looks at historical bars to find a peak, while "Right Bars" acts as the confirmation delay. Higher values result in fewer, more significant signals.
