Price Swing Detection - Smart Money ConceptSince my own style is Smart Money Concept and these days I have seen a lot of my friends who are having trouble identifying structures for their indicators and strategies. I wrote this code so they could use it in their strategy . In fact, this type of structure, as one of the strongest technical structures, can increase the success of your strategy according to your personalization.
The script detects swings (i.e. significant highs and lows) in a financial instrument's price action over a specified period. The user can set the lookback period (number of candles to consider) and the colors of the lines representing bullish and bearish trends.
The script has two functions: detectSwing and pivot high. The detectSwing function calculates the swing highs and lows for the specified number of candles. The function uses the ta.highest and ta.lowest functions to find the highest and lowest prices, respectively, over the lookback period. The function also determines the swing state (high or low) of the current candle and returns the calculated swing values.
The pivot high function calculates the pivot high, which is an important step in detecting bullish structures in the market. If a new top (i.e. swing high) is found, the script updates the pivot high values and creates a line from the recent top to the last bar. The script also updates the trailing maximum values, which are used to extend the top extension line.
For Strategy :
The variable "trendDirection" in the code is used to keep track of the trend state, either bullish (up trend) or bearish (down trend), in the market. The variable is initialized to 0 which represents a downtrend. The value of this variable is updated later in the code based on the calculations of swing highs and lows, pivot crosses, and the trailing maximum. If a bullish structure is detected, the value of "trendDirection" is set to 1, indicating an uptrend.

High – Low Trend Indicator Signal (Expo)High - Low Trend Indicator Signal - (Expo)
DESCRIPTION
This indicator is derived from my previous one called High – Low Trend Indicator (Expo) , but the difference is that this one generates Long signals and detects market changes. These two indicators are intended to be used in the same chart for better accuracy and validation of signals. The indicator is perfectly used to identify pullbacks in positive trends!
HOW TO USE
When a signal appears, consider enter long, or look for confirmation patterns. Such confirmation could be seen in the High – Low Trend Indicator (Expo) when the red cloud disappears or when the black price line crosses out from the red cloud, or when the black price line crosses up over the blue midline.
So,
1. Use the indicator to identify Long signals.
2. Use the indicator to find Entry points in positive trends.
3. Use the indicator to detect market changes.
4. Combine it with High – Low Trend Indicator (Expo).
