Pivot Points Algo

31 Mar 2021

This is a Pivot Points Algo (PPA).
PPA uses an adaptive pivot algorithm that adapts to different market situations based on various factors.
PPA also includes depth filtering to make it more precise at its signal decision.

======= Signal Types ======
Main Signal of BUY and SELL shown by buy/sell labels.
Mini Signals of BUY and SELL shown by buy/sell arrows and shows additional breakouts after the Main Signal occurred.
Optional reversal signals show a possible reversal in trend (small triangle).

======= Alerts =======
Main Signals alerts - Alerts when a main Buy or Sell is triggered (Shown as Labels).
Combo Alerts - Alerts when main or mini signals of Buy and Sell are triggered (Shown as Arrows).

======= Assets and Time frames =======
Can be used on various assets, stocks, forex, crypto and works great for day trading as well as swing trading and long term investing.
PPA is designed to adjust to any time frame!

======= General info =======
The purpose of this indicator is to signal possible breakouts with a high rate of success.
PPA has been extensively tested and fine tuned to provide traders and investors with a valuable tool for timing long and short entries. However, no system is 100% perfect, and it is good practice to have a plan in place and use stop losses or other tools to mitigate unforeseen risk.

Also, note, I don't hide what PPA is doing as opposed to some other commercial indicators on the market. You can view pivot lines and pivot bands and so on.
The magic is the inner system itself which works for you to pinpoint the best entrance possible, I recommend confirming your own methods to make sure you want to take the trade.

Happy and profitable trading!
