Trendlines (long)Hi all!
I hope that this indicator helps you to be a more efficient trader. The concept is well known and useful. So this is not some magic algorithm founded by me, but rather a well known concept. The concept is the drawing of trendlines.
It draws trendlines that has a retest. It draws the trendlines in different colors, the colors used are blue, red, fuchsia and lime.
These are the steps for finding a trendline:
1. Find a generic retest
Find a low that has 2 earlier lows and 1 later low that are higher. This is the reason that a trendline will be created "1 bar late". This is the base and the indicator goes on from here, meaning that this needs to be true to continue.
2. Find an uptrend
Look back 8 bars to find a low that is lower than the retest low.
3. Create the first point of a trendline
Go thru every bar between the user defined "Lookback" and the retest bar (minus the user defined "Skip gap" that's needed between points to create a trendline). From the earliest bar to the latest.
4. Create the second point of the trendline
Go thru every bar between the retest bar and the the first point (bar) minus the "Skip gap". From latest bar to the earliest. A trendline between the two bars are invalidated if some of the criteria are met in-between the bars creating the trendline:
- closed above the trendline (trendline broken)
- is not within the retest bar
- the slope of the trendline is upwards (this indicator is for long entries only)
- at least 1 of the bars creating the retest (1 main bar and 2 earlier bars) has NOT been above the trendline
- is not the created trendline (between the two points) that's closest to the low of the retest bar
TODO:
- add functionality to draw trendlines directly on breakouts
- add volume (high volume needed to create a trendline from a breakout/retest)
- ...?
I hope this explanation makes sense, let me know otherwise. Also let me know if you have any suggestions on improvements.
Best of luck trading!

Auto AI Trendlines [TradingFinder] Clustering & Filtering Trends🔵 Introduction
Auto AI trendlines Clustering & Filtering Trends Indicator, draws a variety of trendlines. This auto plotting trendline indicator plots precise trendlines and regression lines, capturing trend dynamics.
Trendline trading is the strongest strategy in the financial market.
Regression lines, unlike trendlines, use statistical fitting to smooth price data, revealing trend slopes. Trendlines connect confirmed pivots, ensuring structural accuracy. Regression lines adapt dynamically.
The indicator’s ascending trendlines mark bullish pivots, while descending ones signal bearish trends. Regression lines extend in steps, reflecting momentum shifts. As the trend is your friend, this tool aligns traders with market flow.
Pivot-based trendlines remain fixed once confirmed, offering reliable support and resistance zones. Regression lines, adjusting to price changes, highlight short-term trend paths. Both are vital for traders across asset classes.
🔵 How to Use
There are four line types that are seen in the image below; Precise uptrend (green) and downtrend (red) lines connect exact price extremes, while Pivot-based uptrend and downtrend lines use significant swing points, both remaining static once formed.
🟣 Precise Trendlines
Trendlines only form after pivot points are confirmed, ensuring reliability. This reduces false signals in choppy markets. Regression lines complement with real-time updates.
The indicator always draws two precise trendlines on confirmed pivot points, one ascending and one descending. These are colored distinctly to mark bullish and bearish trends. They remain fixed, serving as structural anchors.
🟣 Dynamic Regression Lines
Regression lines, adjusting dynamically with price, reflect the latest trend slope for real-time analysis. Use these to identify trend direction and potential reversals.
Regression lines, updated dynamically, reflect real-time price trends and extend in steps. Ascending lines are green, descending ones orange, with shades differing from trendlines. This aids visual distinction.
🟣 Bearish Chart
A Bullish State emerges when uptrend lines outweigh or match downtrend lines, with recent upward momentum signaling a potential rise. Check the trend count in the state table to confirm, using it to plan long positions.
🟣 Bullish Chart
A Bearish State is indicated when downtrend lines dominate or equal uptrend lines, with recent downward moves suggesting a potential drop. Review the state table’s trend count to verify, guiding short position entries. The indicator reflects this shift for strategic planning.
🟣 Alarm
Set alerts for state changes to stay informed of Bullish or Bearish shifts without constant monitoring. For example, a transition to Bullish State may signal a buying opportunity. Toggle alerts On or Off in the settings.
🟣 Market Status
A table summarizes the chart’s status, showing counts of ascending and descending lines. This real-time overview simplifies trend monitoring. Check it to assess market bias instantly.
Monitor the table to track line counts and trend dominance.
A higher count of ascending lines suggests bullish bias. This helps traders align with the prevailing trend.
🔵 Settings
Number of Trendlines : Sets total lines (max 10, min 3), balancing chart clarity and trend coverage.
Max Look Back : Defines historical bars (min 50) for pivot detection, ensuring robust trendlines.
Pivot Range : Sets pivot sensitivity (min 2), adjusting trendline precision to market volatility.
Show Table Checkbox : Toggles display of a table showing ascending/descending line counts.
Alarm : Enable or Disable the alert.
🔵 Conclusion
The multi slopes indicator, blending pivot-based trendlines and dynamic regression lines, maps market trends with precision. Its dual approach captures both structural and short-term momentum.
Customizable settings, like trendline count and pivot range, adapt to diverse trading styles. The real-time table simplifies trend monitoring, enhancing efficiency. It suits forex, stocks, and crypto markets.
While trendlines anchor long-term trends, regression lines track intraday shifts, offering versatility. Contextual analysis, like price action, boosts signal reliability. This indicator empowers data-driven trading decisions.
Trendlines with Breaks [LuxAlgo]The trendlines with breaks indicator return pivot point based trendlines with highlighted breakouts. Users can control the steepness of the trendlines as well as their slope calculation method.
Trendline breakouts occur in real-time and are not subject to backpainting. Trendlines can however be subject to repainting unless turned off from the user settings.
The indicator includes integrated alerts for trendline breakouts.
🔶 USAGE
Any valid trendlines methodology can be used with the indicator, users can identify breakouts in order to infer future price movements.
The calculation method of the slope greatly affects the trendline's behaviors. By default, an average true range is used, returning a more constant slope amongst trendlines. Other methods might return trendlines with significantly different slopes.
Stdev makes use of the standard deviation for the slope calculation, while Linreg makes use of the slope of a linear regression.
The above chart shows the indicator using "Stdev" as a slope calculation method. The chart below makes use of the "Linreg" method.
By default trendlines are subject to backpainting, and as such are offset by length bars in the past. Disabling backpainting will not offset the trendlines.
🔶 SETTINGS
Length: Pivot points period
Slope: Slope steepness, values greater than 1 return a steeper slope. Using a slope of 0 would be equivalent to obtaining levels.
Slope Calculation Method: Determines how the slope is calculated.
Backpaint: Determine whether trendlines are backpainted, that is offset to past.
TrendLineScalping-BasicDear Traders,
Here is the thought which came to my mind on the trendline break scalping. sometimes during the trade we do plot trendlines and we do anticipate for the line to break and take a trade. with the same thing in mind I had created this basic script to help you and other to create based on the logic used in the script.
This is just a logic based script and doesn't do any kind of wonders. Hence you may use it as necessary.
Regards....
Trendlines Boll Ichi S1 by GammaprodI. How to use this indicator :
------------------------------
I.1. Set your teadingview theme to dark theme.
I.2. Gammaprod indicator is valid for forex, stock and but more valid for crypto.
I.3. Use three timeframe for more validation (choose between those, that fit to your trading style) :
- Timeframe 1m, 5m, and 15m for Scalping
- Timeframe 30m, 1h and 4h for Intraday
- Timeframe 4h, 1D and 1W for Swing Trading
I.4 Always use THREE INDICATORS FROM GAMMAPROD, those three indicators is back to back each other, by the way, I only made those three indicators only (for now) :
- Trendlines Boll Ichi S1 by Gammaprod
- MACD Volume S2 by Gammaprod
- Stoch RSI Divs Zone S2 by Gammaprod
============================================================================
II. How to setting :
--------------------
II.1. Trendlines Boll Ichi Crypto by Gammaprod
II.1.A. Support and Resistance
- Well if you familiar with this indicator you can add it, but recommended for Timeframe 30m or more
II.1.B. Trendlines Primary or Trendlines Secondary
- Timeframe 1m you DON'T NEED Trendlines Primary or Trendlines Secondary
- Timeframe 5m you DON'T NEED Trendlines Secondary, but you CAN ADD Trendlines Primary if you fell it helpful (for me, it is helpful to find where the candles start or the end trend or a consolidation or where the candles will surpass a resistance or a support).
- Timeframe 15m you DON'T NEED Trendlines Secondary, DEFENITELY add Trendlines Primary it will help to find where the candles stop or a consolidation or where the candles will surpass a resistance or a support).
- Timeframe 30m or more, DEFENITELY NEED BOTH Trendlines Primary and Secondary Trendlines, it will help to find where the candle stop or consolidation or where the candle will surpass a resistance or support).
II.1.C. Bollinger, Ichimoku Cloud and Lagging Span
- Please DON'T CHANGE IT at all, it's really helpful to know when and where to make an entry decesion or a trend or a consolidation, if you don't understand how to read it, you better to learn it first (on "how to read" section and "How to OPEN position" the section below)
II.2. Stoch RSI Divs Zone Crypto by Gammaprod (DON'T CHANGE IT)
II.3. MACD Volume Crypto by Gammaprod (DON'T CHANGE IT)
============================================================================
III. How to read :
------------------
III.1. Sell or Buy Priority :
III.1.A. Sell Priority
- Color background on macd and stoch rsi is pink or purple sell is the priority, (if you're not sure to buy, just wait until the best moment to sell)
III.1.B. Buy Priority
- Color background on macd and stoch rsi Teal or light green buy is the priority, (if you're not sure to sell, just wait until the best moment to buy)
III.1.C. Indecision / Golden Moment
- Color background on stoch rsi yellow is indecision / golden moment of reversal pattern (wait until it formed background only on Stoch RSI), please be careful at this moment.
III.2. Trend / Consolidation :
III.2.A. BULLISH trend
- When Stoch RSI and MACD have teal or light green background that's means BULLISH trend, better to confirm by the candle is above green cloud and lagging span (red line) is also above the candle.
III.2.B. BEARISH trend
- When Stoch RSI and MACD have the Pink or purple background that's means BEARISH trend, better to confirm by the candle is above purple cloud and lagging span (red line) is also below the candle.
III.2.C. CONSOLIDATION
- When Stoch RSI have the mix background that's means CONSOLIDATION, better to confirm by the candle is in or near to green / purple cloud and lagging span (red line) is also on the candle.
III.3. Special Mark
III.3.A. Ideal Bullish :
- Near line 20 and green / teal background = When Stoch RSI have the char R / H on lime color label, that's means divergence or hidden divergence for buy position, if you not see this label that's means just a standard confirmation for buy
III.3.B. Not an Ideal Bullish :
- Near line 80 and green / teal background = if this happens make sure you know what happen, it could be a false signal or bullish continual pattern
III.3.C. Ideal Bearish :
- Near line 80 and pink / purple background = When Stoch RSI have the char R / H on lime color label, that's means divergence or hidden divergence for buy position, if you not see this label that's means just a standard confirmation for sell position.
III.3.D. Not an Ideal Bearish:
- Near line 20 and pink / purple background = if this happens make sure you know what happen, it could be a false signal or bearish continual pattern
III.3.E. The Beginning of Reversal (from BEARISH to BULLISH) :
- When Stoch RSI line shaping GREEN position is near 20.
- MACD lines still PINK, position lines is UNDER the HISTOGRAM, but the HISTOGRAM start to SHAPE FALL PINK (light pink) and the BACKGROUND still PINK / PURPLE.
- Position CANDLES NEAR BLUE line, NEAR PURPLE CLOUD, and lagging span (red line) STILL ON the area candle. (it used to be confirmed with the golden moment).
III.3.F. The Beginning of Reversal (from BULLISH to BEARISH) :
- When Stoch RSI line shaping PINK position is near 80.
- MACD lines still GREEN, position lines is ABOVE the HISTOGRAM, but the HISTOGRAM start to SHAPE FALL GREEN (light green) and the BACKGROUND still TEAL / GREEN.
- Position CANDLES NEAR WHITE line, NEAR TEAL CLOUD, and lagging span (red line) STILL ON the area candle. (it used to be confirmed with the golden moment).
III.3.G. False Signals, or It could be a Golden Moment (better to see it on TF 15 or bigger):
- Near line 20 or 80 and yellow background = When Stoch RSI have the char R / H on color label, that's means divergence or hidden divergence for buy / sell position, if you not see this label that's means just a standard confirmation for buy / sell depends on where the Stoch RSI line if near 20 that's means buy, near 80 means sell
============================================================================
IV. How to OPEN position:
-------------------------
IV.1. Bullish
IV.1.A. Trendlines Boll Ichi S1 by Gammaprod
- The candles above the green cloud.
- Lagging span (red line) above the candles.
- then open buy near yellow line (the first option) / blue line (the second option) (always confirm the position with two other indicators below).
IV.1.B. MACD Volume S2 by Gammaprod
- Teal or Green background.
- The lines is shaped or shaping green.
- Better if at the green histogram.
IV.1.C. Stoch RSI Divs Zone S3 by Gammaprod
- Teal or Green background.
- The lines is shaping green.
- Better if on the bottom (at a range 20).
IV.2. Bearish
IV.2.A. Trendlines Boll Ichi S1 by Gammaprod
- The candles below the purple cloud.
- Lagging span (red line) below the candles.
- then open buy near yellow line (the first option) / white line (the second option) (always confirm the position with two other indicators below).

- Lagging span (red line) on the candles.
- then open buy near the white or blue line (always confirm the position with two other indicators below).
IV.3.B. MACD Volume S2 by Gammaprod
- Changing the background.
- The line is near the middle line.
- Have small Histogram.
IV.3.C. Stoch RSI Divs Zone S3 by Gammaprod
- Mix background specially on a timeframe 15m or more.
- The line move fast up and down.
- Better if on the bottom or the top of the lines (at a range 20 or 80).
============================================================================
>> The secret ingredient is comparing the timeframe :
The example scalping (Timeframe 1m, 5m and 15m)
- TF 1m is for making an open position.
- TF 5m is for making a judgement of the trend market.
- TF 15m is to confirm that judgement from TF 5m, be careful if it not similar then it used to be a consolidation or the beginning of the reversal.
There's a lot a way to open the position than above information that i gave it to you, but consider there are a limit chars on this column, I hope it will help your trading and make a more profit on it.
Trendlines Oscillator [LuxAlgo]The Trendlines Oscillator helps traders identify trends and momentum based on the normalized distances between the current price and the most recently detected bullish and bearish trend lines.
The indicator features bullish and bearish momentum, a signal line with crossings, and multiple smoothing options.
🔶 USAGE
The indicator displays three lines: two for momentum and one for the signal. When one of the momentum lines (bullish or bearish) crosses the signal line, the tool displays a dot to indicate which momentum is gaining strength.
As a general rule, when the green bullish momentum line is above the red bearish momentum line, it indicates buyer strength. This means that the actual prices are farther from the support trend lines than the resistance trend lines. The opposite is true for seller strength.
To calculate bullish momentum, the tool first identifies bullish trend lines acting as support below the price. Then, it measures the delta between the price and those trend lines and normalizes the reading into the displayed momentum values.
The same process is used for bearish momentum, but with bearish trendlines acting as resistance above the price.
🔹 Length & Memory
Modifying the Length and Memory values will cause the tool to display different momentum values.
Traders can adjust the length to detect larger trendlines and adjust the memory to indicate how many trendlines the tool should consider.
As the chart above shows, smaller values make the tool more responsive, while larger values are useful for detecting larger trends.
🔹 Smoothing
By default, the data is not smoothed, and the signal uses a triangular moving average with a length of 10. Traders can smooth both the data and the signal line.
Traders can choose from up to ten different methods, or none. Some examples are shown on the chart above.
🔶 DETAILS
The steps for the calculations are as follows:
1. Gather the pivots, highs, and lows.
ph = fixnan(ta.pivothigh(lengthInput, lengthInput))
pl = fixnan(ta.pivotlow(lengthInput, lengthInput))
2. Calculate the slope and y-intercept for each trendline between contiguous lower highs (resistance) or higher lows (support).
if ph < ph
slope = (ph - ph )/(n-lengthInput - phx1)
res.unshift(l.new(ph - slope * phx1, slope))
if pl > pl
slope = (pl - pl )/(n-lengthInput - plx1)
sup.unshift(l.new(pl - slope * plx1, slope))
3. Calculate the value of each trendline on the current bar, then calculate the difference with the current price (delta). To calculate the relative sum of deltas, only consider trendlines below the price for support or above the price for resistance.
method get_point(l id, x)=>
id.slope * x + id.intercept
for element in sup
point = element.get_point(n)
if sourceInput > point
sup_sum += sourceInput - point
sup_den += math.abs(sourceInput - point)
for element in res
point = element.get_point(n)
if sourceInput < point
res_sum += point - sourceInput
res_den += math.abs(point - sourceInput)
4. Normalize the value from 0 to 100 by taking the sum of the relative values of the deltas divided by the sum of the absolute values of the deltas.
float supportLine = sup_sum / sup_den * 100
float resistanceLine = res_sum / res_den * 100
5. Smooth both values, then calculate the signal line as the difference between them.
float smoothSupport = smooth(supportLine,dataSmoothingInput,dataSmoothingLengthInput)
float smoothResistance = smooth(resistanceLine,dataSmoothingInput,dataSmoothingLengthInput)
float signal = math.abs(smoothSupport - smoothResistance)
float signalLine = smooth(signal,smoothingInput,smoothingLengthInput)
6. Calculate the crossing signals against the signal line, using only the first signal from each series of bullish or bearish crossings.
bullSignal = smoothSupport > signalLine and smoothSupport < signalLine
bearSignal = smoothResistance > signalLine and smoothResistance < signalLine
lastSignal := bullSignal and lastSignal == BEAR ? BULL : bearSignal and lastSignal == BULL ? BEAR : lastSignal
firstBull = ta.change(lastSignal) > 0
firstBear = ta.change(lastSignal) < 0
🔶 SETTINGS
Length: The size of the market structure used for trendline detection.
Memory: The number of trendlines used in calculations.
Source: The source for the calculations is closing prices by default.
🔹 Smoothing
Data Smoothing: Choose the smoothing method and length
Signal Smoothing: Choose the smoothing method and length
Trendlines HTF [theEccentricTrader]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator automatically draws dynamic higher timeframe support and resistance lines from preceding peak to current peak and from preceding trough to current trough. In the example above I have applied the indicator three times; one for the 1D trendlines (red), one for the 4H trendlines (orange) and one for the 2H trendlines (green).
█ CONCEPTS
Green and Red Candles
• A green candle is one that closes with a high price equal to or above the price it opened.
• A red candle is one that closes with a low price that is lower than the price it opened.
Swing Highs and Swing Lows
• A swing high is a green candle or series of consecutive green candles followed by a single red candle to complete the swing and form the peak.
• A swing low is a red candle or series of consecutive red candles followed by a single green candle to complete the swing and form the trough.
Peak and Trough Prices (Basic)
• The peak price of a complete swing high is the high price of either the red candle that completes the swing high or the high price of the preceding green candle, depending on which is higher.
• The trough price of a complete swing low is the low price of either the green candle that completes the swing low or the low price of the preceding red candle, depending on which is lower.
Historic Peaks and Troughs
The current, or most recent, peak and trough occurrences are referred to as occurrence zero. Previous peak and trough occurrences are referred to as historic and ordered numerically from right to left, with the most recent historic peak and trough occurrences being occurrence one.
Support and Resistance
• Support refers to a price level where the demand for an asset is strong enough to prevent the price from falling further.
• Resistance refers to a price level where the supply of an asset is strong enough to prevent the price from rising further.
Support and resistance levels are important because they can help traders identify where the price of an asset might pause or reverse its direction, offering potential entry and exit points. For example, a trader might look to buy an asset when it approaches a support level, with the expectation that the price will bounce back up. Alternatively, a trader might look to sell an asset when it approaches a resistance level, with the expectation that the price will drop back down.
It's important to note that support and resistance levels are not always relevant, and the price of an asset can also break through these levels and continue moving in the same direction.
Trendlines
Trendlines are straight lines that are drawn between two or more points on a price chart. These lines are used as dynamic support and resistance levels for making strategic decisions and predictions about future price movements. For example traders will look for price movements along, and reactions to, trendlines in the form of rejections or breakouts/downs.
█ FEATURES
Inputs
• HTF Resolution
• Resistance Line Color
• Support Line Color
█ LIMITATIONS
All green and red candle calculations are based on differences between open and close prices, as such I have made no attempt to account for green candles that gap lower and close below the close price of the preceding candle, or red candles that gap higher and close above the close price of the preceding candle. This may cause some unexpected behaviour on some markets and timeframes. I can only recommend using 24-hour markets, if and where possible, as there are far fewer gaps and, generally, more data to work with.
Similarly, if the current timeframe is not a factor of the higher timeframe there will be occasions when the left hand offset is out by a couple of bars. This is because the calculations are ultimately based on how many lower timeframe bars there are inside a sequence of higher timeframe bars. The lines will also behave unexpectedly if the higher timeframe resolution is lower than the current timeframe, but that should be expected.
If the lines do not draw or you see a study error saying that the script references too many candles in history, this is most likely because the higher timeframe anchor point is not present on the current timeframe. This problem usually occurs when referencing a higher timeframe, such as the 1-month, from a much lower timeframe, such as the 1-minute. How far you can lookback for higher timeframe anchor points on the current timeframe will also be limited by your Trading View subscription plan. Premium users get 20,000 candles worth of data, pro+ and pro users get 10,000, and basic users get 5,000.
Trendlines 2x ver. 5 plus GMMA modifiedthis is a copy of "Trendlines 2x +" Script by Lij_MC (but converted to Version 5 of Pine script), which draws trendlines from the pivot points in the price chart and also add some arrows from "Guppy Multiple Moving Averages" Indicator by optictropic for trend confirmation.
I Change this code from Pine script 4 to 5 to add some functionalities to it.
Some adjustments of parameters have been made by me to easy recognition of Trendline breaks.
These parameters are in the original code, but I make them default for nicer look of the indicator and easier recognition of Trendline breaks.
for example, breaking the primary trendlines are shown by color change of the candles and in the same time by a Break symbol as a label.
breaking the secondary trendlines are shown only by candle color. Extension of the secondary trendlines are set to 50 candles to better recognize the past trendlines .
color candles are set to default to easily see the trend direction of the chart.
I have also added some arrows by the help of "Guppy Multiple Moving Averages" indicator by optictropic, that can be used for confirmation of trend direction.
I think this can represent good looking trend direction and trendline breaks can help traders for a better trade decision.
for better trading with this indicator, buy when you have green or lime color for candles, and GMMA gives UP long arrow signals, check higher time frames, and at last, this is only a help but not a final decision making indicator. you must have your own price action analysis.
best wishes
Trendlines 2x +Copy of "Trendlines - JD" script by Duyck, which draws Trendlines from the pivot points in the price chart.
I have simply Doubled the amount of Trendlines, so now there are;
A Primary set of Trendlines at a higher lookback length and Thicker Line Width
and
A Secondary set of Trendlines at a Lower lookback length and Thinner Line Width
The default values work well when comparing multiple time frames at 3x time difference, play around with these values for other x time variations
I have also simplyfied the Trendline Extension Function to make it more user friendly
Please use the Alerts with caution as the Trendline Break function still needs to be optimised
Also included are Trend Candles to color the bars according to momentum, Trencandles script is a copy of UCS_Trend by ucsgears

Trendlines - JD This script draws trendlines from the pivot points in the price chart.
The input for the function that draws the trendlines is any calculation or function (eg. pivot points),
that most of the time and occasionally produces a 'non n/a' value.
The trendline function then connects the non n/a values and axtends the connections of those points in a trendline.
There is an option to draw the lines from the wicks or from the 'real bodies' of the candles.
The trendlines can either extend infinitely or only run for an adjustable amount of bars.
JD.
TrendLines with AlertsThis isn't my own work, hence giving it in Open Source library for others to benefit from it too.
I have tried to refin the output of trendlines in this Strategy
The original Code is available at
The script needs some modifications, so I'll be making further updates in future, but for now I'm publishing this because most people don't know how to track trandlines, moreover, some use Line.New() by tradingview Pinescript, which again is a bit difficult to deal with.
This script is a basic version of trendlines on a certain angle (anglecheck was provided by the original author in his script).
Nothing fancy in this script.
Also Converted the original Script to Pinescript v4.
[GrandAlgo] ATR Trend MatrixThe ATR Trend Matrix is a dynamic trendline indicator designed to help traders visualize market structure using ATR-based trend projections. This tool adapts to price action and highlights potential support and resistance zones based on Average True Range (ATR) calculations.

TRAPPER TRENDLINES — RSIBuilds dynamic RSI trendlines by connecting the two most recent confirmed RSI swing points (highs→highs for resistance, lows→lows for support). Includes optional channel shading for the 30–70 zone, an RSI moving average, clean break alerts, and simple bullish/bearish divergence alerts versus price.
How it works
RSI pivots: A point on RSI is a swing high/low only if it is the most extreme value compared with a set number of bars on the left and the right (the Pivot Lookback).
RSI trendlines:
Resistance connects the last two confirmed RSI swing highs.
Support connects the last two confirmed RSI swing lows.
Lines can be Full Extend (update into the future) or Pivot Only.
Channel block: Optional fill of the 30–70 range for fast visual context.
Alerts:
Breaks of RSI support/resistance trendlines.
Basic bullish/bearish RSI divergences versus price pivots.
Inputs
RSI
RSI Length: Default 14 (standard).
Pivot Lookback: Bars to the left/right required to confirm an RSI swing.
Overbought / Oversold: 70 / 30 by default.
Line Extension: Full Extend or Pivot Only.
Visuals
Show RSI Moving Average / Signal Length: Optional smoothing line on RSI.
RSI/Signal colors: Customize plot colors.
Show 30–70 Channel Block: Toggle the middle-zone fill.
Tint pane background when RSI in channel: Optional subtle background when RSI is between OB/OS.
Divergences & Alerts
Enable RSI TL Break Alerts: Alert conditions for RSI line breaks.
Enable Divergence Alerts: Bullish/Bearish divergence alerts versus price.
Pairing with price for confluence/divergence
For accurate confluence and clearer divergences, align this RSI tool with your price trendline tool (for example, TRAPPER TRENDLINES — PRICE):
Set RSI Pivot Lookback equal to the Pivot Left/Right size used on price.
Example: Price uses Pivot Left = 50 and Pivot Right = 50 → set RSI Pivot Lookback = 50.
Keep RSI Length = 14 and OB/OS = 70/30 unless you have a specific edge.
Interpretation:
Confluence: Price reacts at its trendline while RSI reacts at its own line in the same direction.
Divergence: Price makes a higher high while RSI makes a lower high (bearish), or price makes a lower low while RSI makes a higher low (bullish), using matched pivot windows.
Suggested settings
Higher timeframes (4H / 1D / 1W): Pivot Lookback = 50; optional RSI MA length 14; channel block ON.
Intraday (15m / 30m / 1H): Pivot Lookback = 30; optional RSI MA length 14.
Always mirror your price pivot size to this RSI Pivot Lookback for consistent swings.
Reading the signals
RSI trendline touch/hold: Momentum reacting at structure; look for confluence with price levels.
RSI Trendline Break Up / Down: Momentum shift; consider price structure and retests.
Bullish/Bearish Divergence: Confirm only when pivots are matched and the new swing is confirmed.
Notes & limitations
Pivots require future bars to confirm by design; trendlines update as new swings confirm.
Divergence logic compares RSI pivots to price pivots with the same lookback; mismatched windows can produce false positives.
No strategy entries/exits or performance claims are provided. This is an analytical tool.
Alerts (titles/messages)
RSI: Trendline Break Up — “RSI broke falling resistance line.”
RSI: Trendline Break Down — “RSI broke rising support line.”
RSI: Bullish Divergence — “Bullish RSI divergence confirmed.”
RSI: Bearish Divergence — “Bearish RSI divergence confirmed.”
Quick start
Add the indicator to a separate pane.
Set Pivot Lookback to match your price tool’s pivot size (e.g., 50).
Optionally toggle the RSI MA and Channel Block for clarity.
Enable alerts if you want notifications on RSI line breaks and divergences.
Use with TRAPPER TRENDLINES — PRICE or any price-based trendline tool for confluence/divergence analysis.

Support and Resistance TrendlinesStrategy:
Support: Identified as the lowest low over a specific period.
Resistance: Identified as the highest high over a specific period.
Dynamic Trendlines: We’ll use the concept of a rolling window to calculate the highest highs and lowest lows over the last n bars (you can adjust the number of bars for more sensitivity).
Explanation:
Lookback Period (length): The number of bars over which we calculate the support and resistance levels. You can adjust this value depending on the timeframe and the sensitivity you want for the trendlines.
Resistance: This is the highest high over the length of bars. We use ta.highest(high, length) to find the highest high within the specified lookback period.
Support: This is the lowest low over the length of bars. We use ta.lowest(low, length) to find the lowest low within the specified lookback period.
Plotting the Lines:
We plot the support and resistance as horizontal lines on the chart using plot().
Additionally, we create dynamic trendlines that update automatically with each new bar. The line.new function creates lines that can be modified dynamically as new price data comes in.
Line Persistence:
The line functions are used to create horizontal lines that persist across bars. The trendlines adjust their position as the bars move forward.
How It Works:
This indicator will automatically detect the highest and lowest prices over the last n bars and draw support (green line) and resistance (red line) levels on the chart.
The trendlines will adjust as the market evolves and provide visual reference points for potential areas of price reversal.
How to Use This Script:
Copy and paste the Pine Script code into the Pine Script Editor on TradingView.
Save the script, and then add it to your chart.
Adjust the Lookback Period input to suit your trading strategy and timeframe.
The support and resistance levels will be drawn dynamically, and the lines will update as new bars form.
Customizations:
You can modify the number of bars (length) used to calculate support and resistance, depending on the timeframes you're interested in.
If you need more advanced trendline drawing (such as drawing trendlines between significant high/low points or automatic adjustment to more complex patterns), you might need to implement more advanced logic using peaks and valleys or price action patterns.
Let me know if you need any further adjustments!
Pivot WebThe Pivot Web is a prototype with its base derived from TradingView's standard pivot point indicator plus inspiration from LuxAlgo's trendline work alongside my own observations/experiences.
The theory is that there's legitimacy, from a technical standpoint, pivot point calculations are an adequate gauge of momentum and sentiment because the same math was used under pressure by floor traders themselves. That calculation is centered on the average of high, low, and closing prices. This indicator creates trendlines connecting the last pivot, support, and resistance levels to the current ones. A dynamic visual cue could make it easier to assess if the price will continue or reverse the current trajectory. This method also shows us an excellent visual for volatility.
Key Takeaways:
This indicator draws new dynamic trendlines.
These new trendlines connect the past and present pivot point levels based on the timeframe you select.
Shorter timeframes = More trendlines
Price adherence to the path of these lines may offer insight for trading.
Lastly, note the first set of data in each new timeframe displays the current original pivot point levels along with the trendlines attached to their ending point. Most of the time this indicator leaves room by briefly highlighting the original static levels with all levels also being optional displays. Also note that a more stable asset may not require the outermost support and resistance levels. Like most time series analysis tools, the Pivot Web requires current data to function properly.
"Nature is pleased with simplicity, and nature is no dummy."
TrendzonesHi all!
This indicator plots trendlines. These lines are not plotted as traditional lines, but are instead zones. This is useful if you think that trend lines are more of an area of importance than a line.
It does so by finding pivots and connecting two of them if they have not been broken (more about that later) in-between the pivots.
These trend zones can be used as support/resistance that the price can react to.
• The first trendline is drawn between the high/low of the first and second pivot.
• The second trendline's first point is at the open/close of the pivot (either the first pivot or the second one) that has the smallest difference between the high/low and the nearest open/close. The same difference (between the high/low and the open/close) is then subtracted from the other pivot's high/low. This creates a point at the other pivot bar. A trendline is then drawn between the points.
This creates two trendlines and a zone between the two trendlines. This zone is the one kept and is shown by the script.
You can define the pivot lengths used to find trend zones (defaults to 3/3). You can also define the number of pivots to look back for, to find trend zones and the number of active zones, both of these defaults to 3. You can also choose to let the script create new zones based on time ("Oldest") or the zone that is furthest away in price, this defaults to be based on time but it can be useful for letting the script remove the one which is furthest away in price. Another useful setting is the one called "Cross source". This defines the price that has to cross the trend zone to make it invalid (broken). This defaults to "Close", i.e. the bar has to close on the "wrong side" of the trend zone.
The current zones are shown with an extension to the right, but you can also choose to keep the previous lines (without extension). Please note that kept zones are only the ones that are broken, not the replaced ones. I.e. the zones that are kept are the ones that are crossed by the user defined "cross source" (defaults to the closing/current price of the bar).
Hope this makes sense, let me know if you have any questions.
Best of trading luck!
Ultra TrendlinesThis indicator automatically draws trendlines based on every pivot point, helping traders visualize key support and resistance levels. It dynamically adjusts as new pivots are detected and validates the trendlines against price movement.
Introduction
The Ultra Trendlines indicator is designed to help traders identify and track significant trendlines on their charts. By automatically detecting pivot points (both highs and lows), it draws trendlines that highlight key market movements. These trendlines are valuable for understanding the broader trend and for making informed trading decisions.
Detailed Description
The indicator analyzes price data to find pivot points highs and lows over a user-defined lookback period. Once a pivot is detected, it draws trendlines between the pivot points.
.........
Accuracy
To ensure accuracy, the indicator only keeps trendlines that are confirmed by price action. It checks if the price crosses the trendline and deletes invalid lines.
Additionally, it checks if the trendlines stay within predefined price thresholds, filtering out irrelevant lines that are too far from current price action.
The indicator also has an option to only show "rising lows" and "falling highs" trendlines, offering further precision in trend direction.
As new pivots are detected, older trendlines that fall outside the lookback period are removed, ensuring the chart remains clean.
.....
Style
The trendlines can extend forward (infinite and userdefined), backward, both or none. The lines are drawn with a customizable style (solid, dotted, or dashed), color, and width.
.........
Summary of Key Points
The indicator automatically detects pivot points (highs and lows) and draws trendlines based on them. It allows you to customize the style, color, and width of the trendlines. The indicator filters out invalid trendlines by checking if they are still relevant based on price action and price thresholds. Additionally, you can choose to only display rising lows and falling highs for more accurate trend analysis. It also removes outdated trendlines to keep the chart clean.
Market Structure - HH, HL, LH, LL with Trendlines & AlertsMarket Structure Script – HH, HL, LH, LL with Trendlines & Alerts
This Pine Script is designed to help identify key market structure patterns such as Higher Highs (HH), Higher Lows (HL), Lower Highs (LH), and Lower Lows (LL) on price charts. It also draws trendlines connecting the respective swing points and provides alerts when these important price patterns occur.
Key Features:
Swing High and Low Detection:
The script uses the ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow functions to identify significant swing highs and swing lows based on the pivot length (pivotLen). These points mark local peaks and troughs in the price action.
Dynamic Pivot Length:
The script adjusts the pivotLen (which defines the number of bars used to calculate swing points) based on the current timeframe of the chart. For example, for a 15-minute chart, it uses a pivot length of 5 bars, while for a daily chart, it uses 10 bars. This dynamic adjustment ensures that the script works across different timeframes.
Higher Highs (HH), Higher Lows (HL), Lower Highs (LH), Lower Lows (LL):
Higher High (HH): Identifies a price peak that is higher than the previous swing high, indicating an uptrend.
Higher Low (HL): Identifies a price trough that is higher than the previous swing low, supporting the idea of an ongoing uptrend.
Lower High (LH): Identifies a price peak that is lower than the previous swing high, suggesting a potential reversal or downtrend.
Lower Low (LL): Identifies a price trough that is lower than the previous swing low, indicating a downtrend.
Trendlines:
For each identified Higher High, Higher Low, Lower High, or Lower Low, the script automatically draws a trendline connecting the corresponding swing points. These trendlines provide a visual representation of the market’s price structure, showing support and resistance levels.
Labels:
The script places labels on the chart next to the respective swing points. These labels mark whether the point is a Higher High (HH), Higher Low (HL), Lower High (LH), or Lower Low (LL). This helps traders easily visualize the price pattern at a glance.
Alerts:
Alert conditions are set for when a Higher High (HH), Higher Low (HL), Lower High (LH), or Lower Low (LL) is detected. Users can set up alerts to be notified whenever one of these key market structure patterns forms. Alerts are an essential feature for traders who want to act quickly when important trend changes are happening.
Auto TrendLines [TradingFinder] Support Resistance Signal Alerts🔵 Introduction
The trendline is one of the most essential tools in technical analysis, widely used in financial markets such as Forex, cryptocurrency, and stocks. A trendline is a straight line that connects swing highs or swing lows and visually indicates the market’s trend direction.
Traders use trendlines to identify price structure, the strength of buyers and sellers, dynamic support and resistance zones, and optimal entry and exit points.
In technical analysis, trendlines are typically classified into three categories: uptrend lines (drawn by connecting higher lows), downtrend lines (formed by connecting lower highs), and sideways trends (moving horizontally). A valid trendline usually requires at least three confirmed touchpoints to be considered reliable for trading decisions.
Trendlines can serve as the foundation for a variety of trading strategies, such as the trendline bounce strategy, valid breakout setups, and confluence-based analysis with other tools like candlestick patterns, divergences, moving averages, and Fibonacci levels.
Additionally, trendlines are categorized into internal and external, and further into major and minor levels, each serving unique roles in market structure analysis.
🔵 How to Use
Trendlines are a key component in technical analysis, used to identify market direction, define dynamic support and resistance zones, highlight strategic entry and exit points, and manage risk. For a trendline to be reliable, it must be drawn based on structural principles—not by simply connecting two arbitrary points.
🟣 Selecting Pivot Types Based on Trend Direction
The first step is to determine the market trend: uptrend, downtrend, or sideways.
Then, choose pivot points that match the trend type :
In an uptrend, trendlines are drawn by connecting low pivots, especially higher lows.
In a downtrend, trendlines are formed by connecting high pivots, specifically lower highs.
It is crucial to connect pivots of the same type and structure to ensure the trendline is valid and analytically sound.
🟣 Pivot Classification
This indicator automatically classifies pivot points into two categories :
Major Pivots :
MLL : Major Lower Low
MHL : Major Higher Low
MHH : Major Higher High
MLH : Major Lower High
These define the primary structure of the market and are typically used in broader structural analysis.
Minor Pivots :
mLL: minor Lower Low
mHL: minor Higher Low
mHH: minor Higher High
mLH: minor Lower High
These are used for drawing more precise trendlines within corrective waves or internal price movements.
Example : In a downtrend, drawing a trendline from an MHH to an mHH creates structural inconsistency and introduces noise. Instead, connect points like MHL to MHL or mLH to mLH for a valid trendline.
🟣 Drawing High-Precision Trendlines
To ensure a reliable trendline :
Use pivots of the same classification (Major with Major or Minor with Minor).
Ensure at least three valid contact points (three touches = structural confirmation).
Draw through candles with the least deviation (choose wicks or bodies based on confluence).
Preferably draw from right to left for better alignment with current market behavior.
Use parallel lines to turn a single trendline into a trendline zone, if needed.
🟣 Using Trendlines for Trade Entries
Bounce Entry: When price approaches the trendline and shows signs of reversal (e.g., a reversal candle, divergence, or support/resistance), enter in the direction of the trend with a logical stop-loss.
Breakout Entry: When price breaks through the trendline with strong momentum and a confirmation (such as a retest or break of structure), consider trading in the direction of the breakout.
🟣 Trendline-Based Risk Management
For bounce entries, the stop-loss is placed below the trendline or the last pivot low (in an uptrend).
For breakout entries, the stop-loss is set behind the breakout candle or the last structural level.
A broken trendline can also act as an exit signal from a trade.
🟣 Combining Trendlines with Other Tools (Confluence)
Trendlines gain much more strength when used alongside other analytical tools :
Horizontal support and resistance levels
Moving averages (such as EMA 50 or EMA 200)
Fibonacci retracement zones
Candlestick patterns (e.g., Engulfing, Pin Bar)
RSI or MACD divergences
Market structure breaks (BoS / ChoCH)
🔵 Settings
Pivot Period : This defines how sensitive the pivot detection is. A higher number means the algorithm will identify more significant pivot points, resulting in longer-term trendlines.
Alerts
Alert :
Enable or disable the entire alert system
Set a custom alert name
Choose how often alerts trigger (every time, once per bar, or on bar close)
Select the time zone for alert timestamps (e.g., UTC)
Each trendline type supports two alert types :
Break Alert : Triggered when price breaks the trendline
React Alert : Triggered when price reacts or bounces off the trendline
These alerts can be independently enabled or disabled for all trendline categories (Major/Minor, Internal/External, Up/Down).
Display :
For each of the eight trendline types, you can control :
Whether to show or hide the line
Whether to delete the previous line when a new one is drawn
Color, line style (solid, dashed, dotted), extension direction (e.g., right only), and width
Major lines are typically thicker and more opaque, while minor lines appear thinner and more transparent.
All settings are designed to give the user full control over the appearance, behavior, and alert system of the indicator, without requiring manual drawing or adjustments.
🔵 Conclusion
A trendline is more than just a line on the chart—it is a structural, strategic, and flexible tool in technical analysis that can serve as the foundation for understanding price behavior and making trading decisions. Whether in trending markets or during corrections, trendlines help traders identify market direction, key zones, and high-potential entry and exit points with precision.
The accuracy and effectiveness of a trendline depend on using structurally valid pivot points and adhering to proper market logic, rather than relying on guesswork or personal bias.
This indicator is built to solve that exact problem. It automatically detects and draws multiple types of trendlines based on actual price structure, separating them into Major/Minor and Internal/External categories, and respecting professional analytical principles such as pivot type, trend direction, and structural location.
Machine Learning Trendlines Cluster [LuxAlgo]The ML Trendlines Cluster indicator allows traders to automatically identify trendlines using a machine learning algorithm based on k-means clustering and linear regression, highlighting trendlines from clustered prices.
For trader's convenience, trendlines can be filtered based on their slope, allowing them to filter out trendlines that are too horizontal, or instead keep them depending on the user-selected settings.
🔶 USAGE
Traders only need to set the number of trendlines (clusters) they want the tool to detect and the algorithm will do the rest.
By default the tool is set to detect 4 clusters over the last 500 bars, in the image above it is set to detect 10 clusters over the same period.
This approach only focuses on drawing trendlines from prices that share a common trading range, offering a unique perspective to traditional trendlines. Trendlines with a significant slope can highlight higher dispersion within its cluster.
🔹 Trendline Slope Filtering
Traders can filter trendlines by their slope to display only steep or flat trendlines relative to a user-defined threshold.
The image above shows the three different configurations of this feature:
Filtering disabled
Filter slopes above threshold
Filter slopes below threshold
🔶 DETAILS
K-means clustering is a popular machine-learning algorithm that finds observations in a data set that are similar to each other and places them in a group.
The process starts by randomly assigning each data point to an initial group and calculating the centroid for each. A centroid is the center of the group. K-means clustering forms the groups in such a way that the variances between the data points and the centroid of the cluster are minimized.
The trendlines are displayed according to the linear regression function calculated for each cluster.
🔶 SETTINGS
Window Size: Maximum number of bars to get data from
Clusters: Maximum number of clusters (trendlines) to detect
🔹 Optimization
Maximum Iteration Steps: Maximum loop iterations for cluster computation
🔹 Slope Filter
Threshold Multiplier: Multiplier applied to a volatility measure, higher multiplier equals higher threshold
Filter Slopes: Enable/Disable Trendline Slope Filtering, select to filter trendlines with slopes ABOVE or BELOW the threshold
🔹 Style
Upper Zone: Color to display in the top zone
Lower Zone: Color to display in the bottom zone
Lines: Style for the lines
Size: Line size
Simple Trendlines📈 Trendlines, made easy.
Simple Trendlines is a carefully made library that provides an easy and accessible way to draw trendlines on the chart.
Containing only 10 properties and 2 methods, the implementation is designed to be understandable through an object-oriented structure and provides developers the opportunity to expand without having to deal with slope calculation while also ensuring that there's no leakage between the trendlines before they're drawn.
Developers only need to provide 5 expressions to get everything up in running. This includes the following but is not limited to
The x-axis
Point A (Y1 Value)
Point B (Y2 Value)
A condition to draw the line
A condition to keep the trendline under continuation
Automatic x-axis calculation is not a built-in feature due to the inconsistency it could bring.
📕 Quick Example
import HoanGhetti/SimpleTrendlines/1 as tl
input_len = input.int(defval = 10)
pivotLow = fixnan(ta.pivotlow(input_len, input_len))
xAxis = ta.valuewhen(ta.change(pivotLow), bar_index, 0) - ta.valuewhen(ta.change(pivotLow), bar_index, 1)
prevPivot = ta.valuewhen(ta.change(pivotLow), pivotLow, 1)
pivotCondition = ta.change(pivotLow) and pivotLow > prevPivot
plData = tl.new(x_axis = xAxis, offset = input_len)
plData.drawLine(pivotCondition, prevPivot, pivotLow)
plData.drawTrendline(close > 0)
plData.lines.trendline.set_style(line.style_dashed)
plData.lines.trendline.set_width(2)
plData.lines.startline.set_width(2)
Excluding the styling at the bottom, that was only 8 lines of code which yields the following result.
⏳ Before continuing
The library does not support block-scoped execution. Conditions must be declared before and integrated as a parameter. This doesn't limit any capabilities and only involves thinking logically about precedence. It was made this way for code readability and to keep things organized.
The offset value inside the TrendlineSettings object can potentially affect performance (although very minimal) if you're using strict mode. When using strict mode, it loops through historical values to then do backend calculations.
🔽 Getting Started 🔽
Creating trendlines without a library isn't a hard task. However, the library features a built-in system called strict mode. We'll dive further into this below.
Creating an Instance
You can create an instance of the library by calling the new() function. Passing an identifier is conventionally mandatory in this case so you can reference properties and methods.
import HoanGhetti/SimpleTrendlines/2 as tl
lineData = tl.new(int x_axis, int offset, bool strictMode, int strictType)
___
int x_axis (Required) The distance between point A and point B provided by the user.
int offset (Optional) The offset from x2 and the current bar_index. Used in situations where conditions execute ahead of where the x2 location is such as pivót events.
bool strictMode (Optional) Strict mode works in the backend of things to ensure that the price hasn't closed below the trendline before the trendline is drawn.
int strictType (Optional) Only accepts 0 and 1, 0 ensures that the price during slope calculation is above the line, and 1 ensures that the price during slope calculation is below the line.
The Initial Line
After instantiating the library, we can go ahead use the identifer we made above and create an instance of our initial line by calling the drawLine() method.
lineData.drawLine(bool condition, float y1, float y2, float src)
___
bool condition (Required) The condition in order to draw a new line.
float y1 (Required) The y-value of point A.
float y2 (Required) The y-value of point B.
float src (Optional) Determines which value strict mode will actively check for leakage before a trendline is drawn.
Typically used if you're not referencing OHLC values for your y-values, or you want to check for another value to exceed the line besides using the close value.
The Trendline
The trendline that gets drawn solely uses the values of the initial line and can be called using the drawTrendline() method. The library enforces a condition as a parameter in order to maintain simplicity.
lineData.drawTrendline(bool condition)
___
bool condition (Required) The condition in order to maintain and continue drawing the trendline.
⚙️ Features
🔹 Automatic Slope Calculation
In the background, the library calculates the next Y2 and X2 values on every tick for the trendline. Preventing the developer from having to do such a process themself.
🔹 Object-Oriented
Each object contains manipulative properties that allow the developer to debug and have the freedom they want.
🔹 Enforced Error Checking
Runtime errors have been put in place to ensure you're doing things correctly.
🔹 Strict Mode & Offset
Strict mode can only be used when the offset value is over 0. It's a feature that's only meant to function under scenarios where a condition executes further than where the X2 is relative to the current bar_index value.
Let's think about pivot systems. As you're aware, pivot events are detected based on historical factors. If a swing low occurred nth bars ago, then the pivot condition will execute at the current bar_index instead of executing nth bars back.
Now because of this, what if you wanted to draw a trendline when the pivot event is executed? The offset value takes care of this just as you would when developing your other scripts, basically how we always do bar_index - n. However, what does this mean for strict mode?
The photo below represents the logic behind the execution.
When looking at this image, imagine this just happened, the event just executed and the trendline is now drawn. Pay attention to all the values inside the surrounding box. As you can see there are some candles that closed below the trendline before the trendline was drawn.
From what I can see 5-6 candles closed below the trendline during slope calculation. The goal of strict mode is to be a provisional system that prevents such occurrences from happening.
Here's a photo with strict mode on.
🔹 Strict Type
A parameter used in the new() function that acts as a representation of what strict mode should calculate for. It accepts only two values, 0 and 1.
0 - Ensures that all candles have closed above the trendline before the trendline is drawn.
1 - Ensures that all candles have closed below the trendline before the trendline is drawn.
In the most recent photo above, I used 0 for strict type, since I was wanting to have a clean trendline and ensure that not a single candlestick closed below.
If you want to reference something else besides the close value during strict mode calculation, you can change it in the drawLine() method.
If it's still difficult to understand, think 0 for pivot lows, and 1 for pivot highs.
📕 Methods and Property Inheritance
The library isn't crazy, but hopefully, it helps.
That is all.👍
Trendline Pivots [QuantVue]Trendline Pivots
The Trend Line Pivot Indicator works by automatically drawing and recognizing downward trendlines originating from and connecting pivot highs or upward trendlines originating from and connecting pivot lows.
These trendlines serve as reference points of potential resistance and support within the market.
Once identified, the trend line will continue to be drawn and progress with price until one of two conditions is met: either the price closes(default setting) above or below the trend line, or the line reaches a user-defined maximum length.
If the price closes(default setting) above a down trend line or below an up trend line, an "x" is displayed, indicating the resistance or support has been broken. At the same time, the trend line transforms into a dashed format, enabling clear differentiation from active non-breached trend lines.
This indicator is fully customizable from line colors, pivot length, the number lines you wish to see on your chart and works on any time frame and any market.
Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns.
We hope you enjoy!
Cheers.
