TrendPivotsLibrary "TrendPivots"
This library provides functions to search for bullish and bearish divergences between pivots and indicators. Functions search for higher highs and lower lows, automating lines, labels and signals for technical analysis and strategies.
method maxBeforeLast(id)
Method function to get the maximum price before the last, stored in an array pivotPoint.
Namespace types: pivotPoint
Parameters:
id (pivotPoint ) : (array pivotPoint) The pivotPoint array to inspect.
Returns: pivotPoint
method minBeforeLast(id)
Method function to get the minimum price before the last, stored in an array pivotPoint.
Namespace types: pivotPoint
Parameters:
id (pivotPoint ) : (array pivotPoint) The pivotPoint array to inspect.
Returns: pivotPoint
method pivotLine(id, a, b, color)
Sets the coordinates of a given line using two pivotPoint variables.
Namespace types: series line
Parameters:
id (line) : (line) Existing line
a (pivotPoint) : (pivotPoint) First pivotPoint.
b (pivotPoint) : (pivotPoint) Second pivotPoint.
color (color) : (color) The desired color. Default is red.
Returns: void
bearishDivergence(pivotArray)
Look for bearish divergence in a pivotPoint array cointaining pivot highs.
Parameters:
pivotArray (pivotPoint ) : (array pivotPoint) The pivotPoint array to inspect.
Returns: bool True if bearish divergence was found.
bullishDivergence(pivotArray)
Look for bullish divergence in a pivotPoint array cointaining pivot lows.
Parameters:
pivotArray (pivotPoint ) : (array pivotPoint) The pivotPoint array to inspect.
Returns: bool True if bullish divergence was found.
uptrendPivot(leftBars, rightBars, indicator, reset, plotLabel, plotLine)
Detects higher highs, higher lows and bearish divergence in an uptrend. Creates a line when bearish divergence is found, and labels.
Parameters:
leftBars (int) : (int)
rightBars (int) : (int)
indicator (float) : (float) RSI, MACD or other value.
reset (bool) : (bool) A bool variable to reinitiates the pivot computation, such as time changes, crossovers, or another.
plotLabel (bool) : (bool) If true (default), plots labels to higher highs and for each pivot low. Default = true.
plotLine (bool) : (bool) If true (default), plots a line linking the lower lows with divergence. Default = true.
Returns:
downtrendPivot(leftBars, rightBars, indicator, reset, plotLabel, plotLine)
Detects lower lows, lower highs, and bullish divergence in a downtrend. Creates a line when bullish divergence is found, and labels.
Parameters:
leftBars (int) : (int)
rightBars (int) : (int)
indicator (float) : (float) RSI, MACD or other value.
reset (bool) : (bool) A bool variable to reinitiates the pivot computation, such as time changes, crossovers, or another.
plotLabel (bool) : (bool) If true (default), plots labels to lower lows, and for each pivot low.
plotLine (bool) : (bool) If true (default), plots a line linking the lower lows with divergence. Default = true.
Returns:
pivotPoint
The coordinates of a pivot point and corresponding indicator value.
Fields:
x (series int) : (int) Time.
y (series float) : (float) Price.
indicator (series float) : (float) Indicator value.
Bullish Patterns
CandleEvaluationLibrary "CandleEvaluation"
Contains functions to evaluate bullish and bearish, engulfing, and outsized candles. They are different from the built-in indicators from TradingView in that these functions don't evaluate classical patterns composed of multiple candles, and they reflect my own understanding of what is "bullish" and bearish", "engulfing", and "outsized".
isBullishBearishCandle()
Determines if the current candle is bullish or bearish according to the length of the wicks and the open and close.
int _barsBack How many bars back is the candle you want to evaluate. By default this is 0, i.e., the current bar.
returns Two values, true or false, for whether it's a bullish or bearish candle respectively.
isTripleBull()
Tells you whether a candle is a "Triple Bull" - that is, one which is bullish in three ways:
It closes higher than it opens
It closes higher than the body of the previous candle
The High is above the High of the previous candle.
int _barsBack How many bars back is the candle you want to evaluate. By default this is 0, i.e., the current bar.
returns True or false.
isTripleBear()
Tells you whether a candle is a "Triple Bear" - that is, one which is bearish in three ways:
It closes lower than it opens
It closes lower than the body of the previous candle
The Low is below the Low of the previous candle.
int _barsBack How many bars back is the candle you want to evaluate. By default this is 0, i.e., the current bar.
returns True or false.
isBigBody()
Tells you if the current candle has a larger than average body size.
int _length - The length of the sma to calculate the average
float _percent - The percentage of the average that the candle body has to be to count as "big". E.g. 100 means it has to be just larger than the average, 200 means it has to be twice as large.
returns True or false
isBullishEngulfing()
Tells you if the current candle is a bullish engulfing candle.
int _barsBack How many bars back is the candle you want to evaluate. By default this is 0, i.e., the current bar.
int _atrFraction The denominator for the ATR fraction, which is the small amount by which the open can be different from the previous close.
returns True or false
isBearishEngulfing()
Tells you if the current candle is a bearish engulfing candle.
int _barsBack How many bars back is the candle you want to evaluate. By default this is 0, i.e., the current bar.
int _atrFraction The denominator for the ATR fraction, which is the small amount by which the open can be different from the previous close.
returns True or false
