Baha'i Reversal Points [CC]The Baha'i Reversal Points is a custom creation that combines some of my favorite passions, creating stock indicator scripts and my faith. The Baha'i Faith believes in the oneness of God and all religions, and sees the number 9 as significant because that is the number of major world religions as well as the Baha'i symbol is a nine-pointed star. The number 19 is also seen as significant because in the Baha'i calendar, there are 19 months, and each month is made up of 19 days. Anyway, with all that being explained, I created these reversal points to find the points where the last 19 highs or lows are higher or lower, respectively than the previous high or low nine days ago. As with many indicators, this does have some hits and misses but does a pretty good job of finding reversal points based on these criteria.
There are a few different ways to analyze this data to determine when to buy or sell. I have set the default behavior for when we encounter the first time that the amount of highs or lows is greater than or equal to the length amount using a crossover or crossunder alert. You could also ignore the crossover or crossunder alerts and buy when the count is greater than or equal to the length, which can happen for extended periods depending on the underlying trend. Overall, buy when the buy label appears and sell when the sell label appears.
Let me know if there are any other custom indicators or scripts you would like to see me publish!

Benner-Fibonacci Reversal Points [CC]This is an original script based on a very old idea called the Benner Theory from the Civil War times. Benner discovered a pattern in pig iron prices (no clue what those are), and this turned out to be a parallel idea to indicators based on Fibonacci numbers. Because a year is 365 days (nearly 377, which is a Fibonacci number), made up of 52 weeks (nearly 55, which is another Fibonacci number), or 12 months (nearly 13, which is another Fibonacci number), Benner theorized that he could find both past and future turning points in the market by using a pattern he found. He discovered that peaks in prices seemed to follow a pattern of 8-9-10, meaning that after a recent peak, it would be 8 bars until the next peak, 9 bars until after that peak for the next, and 10 bars until the following peak. For past peaks, he would just need to reverse this pattern, and so the previous peak would be 10 bars before the most current peak, 9 bars before that peak, and 8 bars before the previous one, and these patterns seemed to repeat. For troughs, he found a pattern of 16,18,20 which follows the same logic, and this idea also seemed to work on long-term peaks and troughs as well.
This is my version of the Benner theory and the major difference between my version and his is that he would manually select a year or date and either work backwards or forwards from that point. I chose to go with an adaptive version that will automatically detect those points and plot those past and future points. I have included several options such as allowing the algorithm to be calculated in reverse which seems to work well for Crypto for some reason. I also have both short and long term options to only show one or both if you choose and of course the option to enable repainting or leave it disabled.
Big thanks to @HeWhoMustNotBeNamed and @RicardoSantos for helping me fix some bugs in my code and for @kerpiciwuasile for suggesting this idea in the first place.
