HLData
HLData wraps the data received from ta.highest, ta.highestbars, ta.lowest, ta.lowestbars, as well as the reference sources
Fields:
length (series int) : lookback length for pivot points
highest_offset (series int) : offset to highest value bar
lowest_offset (series int) : offset to lowest value bar
highest (series float) : highest value within lookback bars
lowest (series float) : lowest value within lookback bars
new_highest (series bool) : update() will set this true if the current candle forms a new highest high at the last (current) bar of set period (length)
new_lowest (series bool) : update() will set this true if the current candle forms a new lowest low at the last (current) bar of set period (length)
new_highest_fractal (series bool) : update() will set this true if the current candle forms a new fractal high at the center of set period (length)
new_lowest_fractal (series bool) : update() will set this true if the current candle forms a new fractal low at the center of set period (length)
PivotColors
Pivot colors for different modes
Fields:
hh (series color) : Color for Pivot mode 2 (HH)
lh (series color) : Color for Pivot mode 1 (LH)
hl (series color) : Color for Pivot mode -1 (HL)
ll (series color) : Color for Pivot mode -2 (LL)
Pivot
Pivot additional pivot data around basic Point
Fields:
point (Point type from robbatt/lib_plot_objects/5)
mode (series int) : can be -2/-1/1/2 for LL/HL/LH/HH
price_movement (series float) : The price difference between this and the previous pivot point in the opposite direction
retracement_ratio (series float) : The ratio between this price_movement and the previous
prev (Pivot)
LL
lib_trackingLibrary "lib_tracking"
tracking highest and lowest with anchor point to track over dynamic periods, e.g. to track a Session HH/LL live and get the bar/time of the LTF wick that matches the HTF HH/LL
// DESIGN DECISION
// why anchored replacements for ta.highest / ta.highestbars / ta.lowest / ta.lowestbars:
// 1. they require a fixed length/lookback which makes it easier to calculate, but
// 2. this prevents us from tracking the HH/LL of a changing timeframe, e.g. live tracking the HH/LL of a running session or unfinished higher timeframe
// 3. tracking with anchor/start/reset flag allows to persist values until the next start/reset, so no other external storage is required
track_highest(value, reset, track_this_bar)
Parameters:
value (float)
reset (bool) : boolean flag to restart tracking from this point (a.k.a anchor)
track_this_bar (bool) : allows enabling and disabling of tracking, e.g. before a session starts or after it ends, values can be kept until next reset.
track_lowest(value, reset, track_this_bar)
Parameters:
value (float)
reset (bool) : boolean flag to restart tracking from this point (a.k.a anchor)
track_this_bar (bool) : allows enabling and disabling of tracking, e.g. before a session starts or after it ends, values can be kept until next reset.
track_hl_htf(htf, value_high, value_low)
Parameters:
htf (string) : the higher timeframe in pinescript string notation
value_high (float)
value_low (float)
Returns:
