PivotPoints with Momentum confirmation by PeterOWho wouldn't like to be able to tell when the market actually reverses instead of just faking it? Every trader who has tried pivothigh/pivotlow functions for that, surely bumped into so many meaningless reversal signals, that probably got discouraged with this concept entirely.
Yet, pivot points are very important. Only they need to be confirmed at least a little bit (you'll never know for sure, you understand that right?)
This script enhances pivot-points mechanism with by confirming potential pivot point with actual reversal in momentum. If momentum reversal is also noticed in synch with the pivothigh/pivotlow, then you've got yourself a reversal - marked on the chart with red or green triangle. You can visually compare where those triangles are marked as compared to those small black ones, meaning the standard pivothigh(high,1,1)/pivotlow(low,1,1). Check yourself how many times this method would save us from pre-mature entry. On average 2/3 pivot points are filtered out.
This is a non-delayed confirmation - there is no waiting for another candle to close, just looking to another indicator for a match.Trader needs to take a decision immediately because if he hesitates, he will be late for sure. Also sometimes this script produces signal even before a full pivot-point is formed, as pin-bar analysis is also included here.
What this script IS NOT:
- a complete trading map. Don't take trade on each green or red triangle. You still need to do your homework on market direction, trend, phase, wave, etc. But at least you have the "trigger" part done.
- these pivot points are still not "guaranteed". You never know the future even as close as the very next candle, so the market can continue its trend right after it produces reversal signal. The aim of this indicator was only to filter out those potential pivot points, which didn't really look like reversals.
If you think this method could be improved somehow or would like to share your thoughts or approach, don't hesitate to reach out to me or write down in comments.
P.S. Credit goes to UCSGEARS for his Top&Bottom candle script. Amazing work. I used the momentum calculation from there. Indicator

Extrapolated Pivot Connector - Lets Make Support And ResistancesIntroduction
The support and resistance methodology remain the most used one in technical analysis, this is mainly due to its simplicity, and unlike lots of techniques used in technical analysis support and resistances have a certain logic, price can sometimes appear moving into a channel, support and resistances allow the trader to estimate such channel and project it into the future in order to spot points where price might reverse direction.
In this script a simple linear support and resistance indicator is proposed, the indicator is made by connecting past pivot high's/low's to more recent ones and extrapolating the resulting connection. The indicator is also able to make support and resistances by using other indicators as input.
Indicator Settings
The indicator include various settings, the first one being the length setting who determine the sensitivity of the pivot high/low detection, low values of length will detect the pivot high/low of noisy variations, while higher values will detect the pivot high/low of longer term variations.
The figure above use length = 5.
The A-High parameter determine the position of the pivot high to be used as first point of the resistance line, higher values will use oldest pivot high's as first point. The B-High parameter determine the last pivot high. A-Low and B-Low work the same way but affect the support line, a label is drawn on the chart in order to help you determine the position of A/B-High/Low.
Using Other Indicators Output As Input
The "Use Custom Source" option allow you to apply the indicator to other indicators, for example we can use a moving average of period 50 as input
Or the rsi :
Let me help you set the proposed indicator easily to indicators appearing on a separate window, for example the momentum oscillator, add the momentum oscillator to the chart, to do so click on indicator and search "momentum", click on the first result, once on the chart put your mouse pointer on the indicator title, you'll see appearing the hide, settings and delete option, at the right of delete you should see three dots which represent the "more" option, click on it and select "Add indicator on Mom" and select the extrapolated pivot indicator, you can do that by searching it, altho it might be easier to do it by adding the indicator to favorites first, you then only need to select it from your favorites.
You might see a mess on the indicator window, thats because the extrapolated pivot is still using high and low as input, go to the settings of the extrapolated pivot indicator and check "Use Custom Source", it should appear properly now.
Tips And Tricks When Using Support And Resistances
Linear support and resistances assume an approximately linear trend, if you see non linear growth in the price evolution you can use a logarithmic scale in order to have a more linear evolution. To do so right click on the the chart scale and select "Logarithmic" or use the following key shortcut "alt + l".
When applying the indicator to an oscillator centered around zero make sure to adjust the settings of the oscillator such that the peak magnitude of the oscillator is relatively constant over time.
Here a roc of period 9 has non constant peak amplitude, you can see that by looking at the position of the pivots (circles), increasing the period of the roc help capture more significant pivots high's/low's
Conclusion
In this post an indicator aiming to draw support and resistances is presented, the fact that it can be applied to any other indicator is a relatively nice option, and i hope you might make use of this feature.
The code make heavy use of the new features that where integrated on the v4 of pine, such features are really focused on making figures and labels, things i don't really work with, but it is nice to step out my short codes habits, and i don't exclude working with figures in pine in the future.
Thanks for reading !

Adaptive Pivot (HLC3)SUMMARY:
Standard Pivot (HLC3) with ATR leeway added to make it adaptive to market volatility.
DESCRIPTION:
Adaptive Pivot is an indicator utilizing the simplicity of HLC3 Pivots as a turning point (and sometimes a trend indicator) while addressing it's fixed and inflexible nature.
Because the indicator is just a single line in the chart, the price may go near it but never touch it. Or it can go pass through it and never retest it again. In an attempt to lessen these from occurring, we can combine pivots with average true range (ATR). This is the specific formula I applied in this indicator:
>Upper Pivot = HLC3 + ATR
>Lower Pivot = HLC3 - ATR
This creates a kind of a range or cloud around the Pivot, making it possibly a more accurate indicator for market turning points.
ADJUSTABLE PARAMETERS:
The usual ATR parameters are included in this indicator:
>ATR_Length = input(14, title="ATR Length", minval=1)
>ATR_Smoothing = input(title="ATR Smoothing", defval="RMA", options="RMA", "SMA", "EMA", "WMA")
Added to the usual ones is this:
>ATR_Multiplier = input(1, title="ATR Multiplier", minval=0.1)
which modifies the extent of the ATR (similar to Chandelier Exit) as it is added/subtracted from the pivot values.
Pivot’s timeframe is also adjustable:
>Pivot_Timeframe = input("3M", title='Pivot Resolution')
Note: I did not lock the type to input.resolution to allow for more possible timeframes.
OTHER PARAMETERS
Indicator color will change to green when the open is above the HLC3 Pivot and change to red when the reverse is true.
