Zig Zag Channels [LuxAlgo]The Zig Zag indicator is a useful indicator when it comes to visualizing past underlying trends in the price and can make the process of using drawing tools easier. The indicator consists of a series of lines connecting points where the price deviates more than a specific percentage from a maximum/minimum point ultimately connecting local peaks and troughs.
This indicator by its very nature backpaints by default, meaning that the displayed components are offset in the past.
🔶 USAGE
The Zig Zag indicator is commonly used to returns points of references for the usage of specific drawing tools, such as Fibonacci retracements, fans, squares...etc.
The proposed indicator estimates peaks and troughs by using rolling maximums/minimums with a window size determining their significance. This window size approach allows us to have an indicator that works with a certain regularity no matter the scale of the price, something the percentage-based approach struggles with. Additionally, one upper and lower extremity are displayed, highlighting the price point that deviates the most from the Zig Zag lines.
A common usage also includes the easy determination of Elliot wave patterns in the price.
The Zig Zag indicator above highlights a downtrending motive wave.
🔹 Extremities
The novel approach taken by this Zig Zag indicator is the addition of two extremities derived from the distance between the price and the Zig Zag line, thus returning channels. It is uncommon seeing extremities in Zig Zag indicators since the line connecting peaks and troughs has rarely any other utility than seeing trend variations with more clarity and is not meant to provide an accurate estimate of underlying local trends in the price.
This channel can be useful to study the potential relationship between underlying trends and the Zig Zag line. A low width between the Zig Zag and the upper extremity indicates price variations mostly located below the Zig Zag while equal width indicates more linear trends.
When the indicator is extended to the last line, the extremities provide potential support and resistances, thus making this indicator able to forecast price variations.
🔶 SETTINGS
Length: Determines the significance of the detected peaks and troughs.
Extend To Last Bar: Extend the most recent line to the most recent closing price value.
Show Extremities: Displays the extremities.
Show Labels: Display labels highlighting the high/low prices located at peaks and troughs.
🔹 Style
Upper Extremity Color: Color of the upper extremity displayed by the indicator.
Zig Zag Color: Color of the ZigZag lines.
Lower Extremity Color: Color of the lower extremity displayed by the indicator.

Trend Key PointsEach trend has its high and low key points that are important in the next prices. Sometimes it's hard to find out the keys with a naked eye, so I tried to code a simple indicator to marking these points also, as a bonus, to draw support and resistance lines from previous critical pivot points.
Let me explain the details with a downtrend. If we consider the previous trend, each downtrend starts with a HH and end with a LL. There are always many tries between that HH and LL to turn the trend up. This indicator counts that inner attempts. The higher the number of attempts, the more important move has been started from the beginning (HH). These numbers take their final form when the trend ends and are included in the label at the beginning of each trend.
Key points with 3 and more inner tries are consider as critical point by default but It's alterable and you can change it as you want. The indicator draws lines from critical points too, so you can use that lines as support and resistance in next candles.
Likewise, there are marks below inner LLs and above inner HHs.
This indicator idea is entirely my own and is a product I've really thought about, AND you have allowed to use and share it anywhere to anyone. I did my best to make it useful, even so I am open to any improvement. If you have an idea or a suggestion, don't forget to leave a comment. Indicator

Gridimus MaximusGridimus Maximus draws N grid lines stepping by price or percent in chosen direction from set price, or draws N grid lines stepping by pivots.
The queue function method used is adapted from an example provided on the PineCoders website, much gratitude to LucF for this gem!
To prevent grid lines out of range from causing chart to rescale right click on chart's price column and enable Scale Price Chart Only.
Pictured example above is using Type Of Increment: Steps By Pivot, Number Of Steps: 5.
Pictured example below is using Type Of Increment: Steps By Price, Number Of Steps: 6, Starts From Price: $10k, Steps By Percent Or Price: $10k.
Pictured example below is using Type Of Increment: Steps By Percent, Number Of Steps: 7, Starts From Price: $10k, Steps By Percent Or Price: 33%.

Logging in Pine ScriptI'm building quite a lot of pretty complicated indicators/strategies in Pine Script. Quite often they don't work from the 1 try so I have to debug them heavily.
In Pine Script there are no fancy debuggers so you have to be creative. You can plot values on your screens, check them in the data window, etc.
If you want to display some textual information, you can plot some info as labels on the screen.
It's not the most convenient way, so with the appearance of tables in Pine Script, I decided to implement a custom logger that will allow me to track some useful information about my indicator over time.
Tables work much better for this kind of thing than labels. They're attached to your screen, you can nicely scale them and you can style them much better.
The idea behind it is very simple. I used few arrays to store the message, bar number, timestamp, and type of the message (you can color messages depend on the type for example).
There is a function log_msg that just append new messages to these arrays.
In the end, for the last bar, I create the table and display the last X messages in it.
In parameters, you can show/hide the entire journal, change the number of messages displayed and choose an offset. With offset, you can basically scroll through the history of messages.
Currently, I implemented 3 types of messages, and I color messages according to these types:
Message - gray
Warning - yellow
Error - red
Of course, it's a pretty simple example, you can create a much fancier way of styling your logs.
What do you think about it? Is it useful for you? What do you use to debug code in Pine Script?
Disclaimer
Please remember that past performance may not be indicative of future results.
Due to various factors, including changing market conditions, the strategy may no longer perform as good as in historical backtesting.

CheckmateTrades - Pivots End GameThis indicator is based on the Pivot study. Traders will be able to plot CPR, Standard floor pivots as well as Camarilla Pivots on multiple timeframes.
Why pivots from multiple timeframes are relevant and included in this one indicator?
We can analyse pivots on multiple timeframes for different trading setups. As in, Daily floor pivots are best suited for analysing the market trend for Day trading. Similarly, Weekly and Monthly floor pivots can be analysed for Swing and positional trading entries. Whereas yearly pivot is best suited for trend analysis for investment purpose.
What is the relevance of plotting tomorrow's pivot level in advance?
Pivot are calculated based on the price happened on a previous day. And hence trader can plot tomorrow pivots in advance to shortlist stocks for tomorrow's trading session.
TimeFrames Available to traders are –
1. Daily
2. Weekly
3. Monthly
A) Daily Pivots
Present Day –
1. Trader can plot Daily CPR
2. Trader can plot Daily R1, R2, R3 and R4 pivot resistance levels
3. Trader can plot Daily S1, S2, S3 and S4 pivot support levels

5. Previous Month High and Low
Moreover, I have also included SMA (Simple moving averages) study in this indicator. Trader can add 20,50 & 200 SMA on there charts.
Why is it relevant? Trader can get a visual confirmation of an up-trending or an down-trending move by looking at rising or falling 20 & 50 SMA respectively
Usually in an uptrending stocks. 20 & 50 SMA will move in parallel to each other and will rise upwards. Price will tend to trade above the 20 SMA and 20 SMA will continue to act as a support.
