Kiss Of DeathThis Pine Script code is designed to create a technical indicator on a TradingView chart known as the "Kiss of Death" signal. Here's a description of the script:
The script begins by specifying that it is intended for use with Pine Script version 5 (//@version=5) and sets the indicator's title to "Kiss of Death Signal" with indicator(title="Kiss of Death Signal", overlay=true).
The code calculates a 21-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the closing prices (ema21 = ta.ema(close, 21)). The EMA is a commonly used trend-following indicator.
It also determines the lowest low of the previous two periods (prev_low = ta.lowest(low, 2)). This variable will be used in the signal condition.
The script then defines the signal condition for the "Kiss of Death" pattern. This pattern occurs when:
The current closing price is below the 21-period EMA (close < ema21).
The previous closing price is above or equal to the 21-period EMA (close >= ema21).
The current low is below the lowest low of the previous two periods (low < prev_low).
Next, it uses plot to display the 21-period EMA on the chart (plot(ema21, color=color.blue, title="21 EMA")), using a blue color.
Finally, the script utilizes plotshape to mark the points on the chart where the "Kiss of Death" signal condition is met. It places a red, downward-pointing triangle above the corresponding bars
In summary, this script provides a visual representation of the "Kiss of Death" signal on a TradingView chart, helping traders identify potential bearish reversal points based on the defined conditions. The 21-period EMA is also displayed to provide additional context.
What makes this script unique is that it specifically identifies and visualizes a specific technical pattern known as the "Kiss of Death". The "Kiss of Death" is a bearish reversal pattern that occurs when the current price falls below a specific moving average (in this case, a 21-period Exponential Moving Average or EMA) after previously being above it, and when the current low is below the lowest low of the previous two periods.
This script stands out because it provides a clear and visual representation of this particular pattern on a TradingView chart. By using a red, downward-pointing triangle above the bars, it helps traders quickly identify potential bearish reversal points based on the defined conditions.
The combination of a specific pattern, in this case the "Kiss of Death", along with a visual indicator, sets this script apart and makes it a useful tool for traders looking to identify potential bearish reversal points in their technical analysis.
