By leveraging pivot points over a customizable range, this indicator provides traders with a clear and consistent way to spot key price levels, making it easier to adapt trading strategies to current market conditions.

Key Features

1. Customizable Pivot Length

  • Pivot Length Parameter:

    • Define the range for calculating pivot highs and lows (default: 50 bars).

    • The pivot length determines how far back the indicator looks to identify significant highs and lows.

2. Dynamic Support and Resistance Detection

  • Pivot Highs and Lows:

    • Pivot High: Identified when a bar's high is higher than the highs of surrounding bars within the specified range.

    • Pivot Low: Identified when a bar's low is lower than the lows of surrounding bars.

  • Support Line:

    • Draws a horizontal green line (2-pixel width) at each new pivot low, marking it as a recent support level.

    • The line extends from the point of identification to the current bar.

    • Automatically replaces the previous support line when a new pivot low is identified.

  • Resistance Line:

    • Draws a horizontal red line (2-pixel width) at each new pivot high, marking it as a recent resistance level.

    • The line extends from the point of identification to the current bar.

    • Automatically replaces the previous resistance line when a new pivot high is identified.

3. Visual Clarity

  • The indicator extends support and resistance lines to the right of the chart, ensuring that the latest levels remain visible and relevant to current price action.

How to Use It

    • They highlight areas where the price might face selling pressure.

2. Trend Analysis

  • Uptrend:

  • Downtrend:

    • A series of falling resistance levels indicates growing selling pressure and a downtrend.
