Fibonacci compressionThis script will search x-bars back, if it can find a triangle formation that meets certain Fibonacci ratios.
Based on the trend-based fib extension tool from the first high to the first low and then the 2nd high (in a bullish structure, inverse for bearish), we can predict the take profit levels.
The main target is the 0.618, first take profit is at the 0.236. In a strong trend, one can aim for the 1 fib ratio.
Once the 3 points are known, the script will already plot the take profit levels. It is better to wait until the full pattern develops with a 2nd lower high and a 2nd higher low.
The way I use it, is closing 20% at TP1, 80% of the remainder at TP2 and final close out at TP3.
Stop loss is the red line which will show up after a full pattern is formed.
Plot out the profit levels with the trend based fib extension tool, because once there's a break-out of the pattern, the script won't show the compression any more. (or use the replay button to go back in time to plot it again)
The volume label will appear once there's a divergence between the low and higher low or the high and lower high. It is based on my cumulative volume script. It only works well on timeframes above 4 hour, but volume in favor of a short, doesn't always guarantee a good short setup, so don't take it for granted.
It has around a 30 - 33% chance of hitting your TP2, so make sure the risk to reward is at least 3.
Happy trading!

Pivot Pattern Boundaries [cajole]
This script automatically detects horizontal support / resistance levels based on user-programmable criteria.
For example, you can detect boundaries with >3 touches within 200 days, allowing a tolerance of 1/4*ATR.
"Touches" are defined from pivots on the chart. The best way to search for larger/smaller patterns is to increase/decrease the pivot size.*
Future versions will allow "exceptions (i.e. keep drawing the horizontal line even if it is breached once or twice).
*TradingView's Pine script defines a Pivot as the highest point in a group. So, entering "2" means that a day's high needs to be above 2 days before and after (xxYxx) to be considered a high pivot.
This script can be an aid in drawing multiple patterns with horizontal boundaries (rectangles, triangles, head and shoulders, cup & handles, VCPs). I have intentionally avoided trying to code detection of the "other side" of these patterns, as that is where the craft of charting becomes an art.
