# Rally Base Drop SND Pivots Rally Base Drop SND Pivots is an indicator on [Vela](https://vela.luxalgo.com/chart), our next-generation charting platform, written in Pine Script®. Rally Base Drop SND Pivots detects pivots to a stricter standard than a fractal: one side of the turn must be all Rally candles, the other all Drop candles, with the Base candle's high or low setting the level. The result is a quieter map of supply and demand reference levels, for SND traders who want pivots that meet a structural bar before charting them. - Indicator in the LuxAlgo Library, by LuxAlgo, published Mar 12, 2025. - Access: free. - Concepts: [Supply & Demand Zones](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/supply-and-demand-zones/) (primary), [Swing High/low](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/swing-high-low/) - Open on Vela: https://vela.luxalgo.com/chart?pineScriptCodeId=cmpwn51l90072vhsg8lcv415a - Page: https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/rally-base-drop-snd-pivots/ **Rally Base Drop SND Pivots** applies [supply and demand](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/supply-and-demand-zones/) candle logic (Rally, Base, Drop) to pivot detection, and holds every candidate to a stricter standard than the familiar fractal. Where an ordinary [swing high or low](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/swing-high-low/) merely needs lower highs or higher lows around it, these pivots demand a precise sequence: an unbroken run of Rally candles into the turn met by an unbroken run of Drop candles out of it, or the reverse (one side entirely green, the other entirely red). ## How to Trade the Rally Base Drop SND Pivots? - **Pivot high levels**: printed where a Rally run gave way directly to a Drop run, supply-side reference levels. - **Pivot low levels**: the mirrored sequence, demand-side references. - **Cleaner structure**: the strict all-one-color requirement filters out much of the noise ordinary pivots carry, leaving fewer but more deliberate levels for decision-making. The levels are built to slot into a wider supply-and-demand workflow rather than stand alone: once a pivot confirms, the high or low of its Base candle becomes the marked level, giving you a reliable reference to combine with traditional SND methods. ## Rally Base Drop SND Pivots Settings - **Length**: how many Rally and Drop candles are required to confirm a pivot. A setting of 3 means three Rally candles followed by three Drop candles. - **Historical Lookback**: how many bars back levels remain visible; 0, the default, keeps every level on the chart. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### How do these pivots differ from standard fractal pivots? A fractal only compares a bar with its neighbors. These pivots instead require one side of the turn to be composed solely of Rally candles and the other solely of Drop candles, a stricter footprint that embeds supply/demand logic into every level. ### What role does the Base candle play? Once a pivot is discerned, the Base is the first Rally or Drop of the latter half of the structure, and its high or low is used to draw the pivot level. That price is the reference the indicator carries forward. ### Is it free, and is there a signal-oriented sibling? Yes, it is free in the LuxAlgo Library, and you can open it in Quant, our coding agent, straight from this page. For candle-by-candle sequence signals rather than levels, [Rally Base Drop Signals](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/rally-base-drop-signals/) colors the raw patterns as they confirm. You can also copy the source code from this page and run it anywhere Pine Script® runs. ## Related indicators - [Supply Demand Profiles](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/supply-demand-profiles/) (Supply & Demand Zones): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/supply-demand-profiles.md - [Rally Base Drop Signals](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/rally-base-drop-signals/) (Supply & Demand Zones): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/rally-base-drop-signals.md - [Supply and Demand Daily](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/supply-and-demand-daily/) (Supply & Demand Zones): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/supply-and-demand-daily.md - [Supply and Demand Anchored](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/supply-and-demand-anchored/) (Supply & Demand Zones): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/supply-and-demand-anchored.md - [Supply and Demand Visible Range](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/supply-and-demand-visible-range/) (Supply & Demand Zones): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/supply-and-demand-visible-range.md - [Swing Highs/Lows & Candle Patterns](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/swing-highs-lows-candle-patterns/) (Swing High/low): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/swing-highs-lows-candle-patterns.md - [Unreached Highs/Lows Oscillator](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/unreached-highs-lows-oscillator/) (Swing High/low): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/unreached-highs-lows-oscillator.md - [Support & Resistance Zones Strength Classifier](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/support-resistance-zones-strength-classifier/) (Zone Scoring & Refinement): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/support-resistance-zones-strength-classifier.md --- Source: https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/rally-base-drop-snd-pivots/ (LuxAlgo Library).
