TrendPivots

Library "TrendPivots"

    reset (bool): (bool) A bool variable to reinitiates the pivot computation, such as time changes, crossovers, or another.
    plotLabel (bool): (bool) If true (default), plots labels to lower lows, and for each pivot low.
    plotLine (bool): (bool) If true (default), plots a line linking the lower lows with divergence. Default = true.
  Returns:

pivotPoint
  The coordinates of a pivot point and corresponding indicator value.
  Fields:

Nota Keluaran:

v3
Adds more information to functions;

Changes in uptrendPivot() and downtrendPivot() function:
- Returned pivotPoints changed from series to var to retain values;
- Traces lines every higher high pivot (red = bearish divergence in uptrendPivot());
- Traces lines every lower low pivot (green = bullish divergence in downtrendPivot()).
- Adds indicator values in labels.
