Typical Sweeps: Pivot high/low boxes. Grade sweeps, Handles/Pips

9 thg 3, 2023

Tool to show typical pip-grade/ handle-grade sweep distance above pivot highs and pivot lows

-In consolidation/ranging periods (i.e. most of the time); Highs/Lows may by swept by fairly consistent distances in typical stop raids.
-Idea is from ICT teaching on typical Pip-grade sweeps in FX (10,20,30pips). Designed to work on FX, Indices, Commodities, Bitcoin.
-Above chart shows S&P; sweeping below and then above by 5 handles.

///inputs///
~choose sweep distance handles ($) or pips: will auto-calculate depending on the asset: FX= pips; Indices/stocks/commodities = handles ($)
--(2,5,10,20,30,50,100, 500, 1000)
~choose pivot lookback: larger number for more significant swing highs/lows
~choose number of historical boxes to display
~toggle on/off Pivot high boxes and Pivot low boxes independently
~extend boxes fully to the right (default is not extend)
~toggle on/off text
~text & box formatting options

Bitcoin, hourly chart; Pivot lookback = 15; $100 sweep boxes:


Eur/Usd; 15m chart; Pivot lookback = 30; 10pip sweep boxes; Boxes extended fully to the right:

-Added optional 'spikeyness' filter for Pivot highs/lows (default off): Use to filter-out smooth/unimpressive/weak pivot high&lows. Higher number for more spikey / less-rounded pivot highs & lows.

-added independent 'leftbars' and 'rightbars' for finding pivots; reduce 'rightbars' to confirm pivots faster, but at the cost of potentially less significant pivots

-added optional ATR(10) percentage input to determine box height / sweep distance; thus accounting for volatility differences throughout the day. Default is toggled OFF.
-percentage can be greater than 100. ATR length is set to 10 bars, this can be changed by editing line 36.
