Pivot Points [DecodingFlowLab]
A clean and lightweight pivot structure indicator designed to detect significant swing highs and swing lows directly from market structure.
This tool uses a symmetric pivot detection model based on a configurable depth value to identify confirmed turning points in price action.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
How It Works
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• The indicator scans both sides of the candle using the selected “Depth” value.
• A Pivot High is confirmed only when the candle’s high is greater than the highs of surrounding candles.
• A Pivot Low is confirmed only when the candle’s low is lower than the lows of surrounding candles.
• Signals are plotted only after confirmation to reduce market noise and false swings.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Smart Filtering Logic
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The script includes an internal directional filtering mechanism:
• If a new higher pivot high appears, the previous pivot high is automatically replaced.
• If a new lower pivot low appears, the previous pivot low is replaced as well.
This creates a cleaner market structure view and prevents unnecessary duplicate pivots.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Features
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✔ Clean visual swing detection
✔ Dynamic replacement of weaker pivots
✔ Adjustable pivot sensitivity using “Depth”
✔ Offset plotting to avoid candle overlap
✔ Lightweight and optimized
✔ Useful for market structure analysis
✔ Can assist with:
• Swing Trading
• Trend Analysis
• Liquidity Mapping
• BOS / CHOCH concepts
• Support & Resistance identification
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Inputs
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Depth
Controls pivot sensitivity.
Higher values = stronger but fewer pivots.
• plotShift
Moves pivot markers away from candles for better chart visibility.
• Pivot Colors
Custom colors for highs and lows.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Best Use Cases
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
This indicator works especially well for:
• Market Structure traders
• Smart Money Concept (SMC) traders
• Swing traders
• Liquidity-based analysis
• Manual chart markup
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Important Note
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Because pivots require future candle confirmation, signals appear after the structure is confirmed.
This behavior is intentional and helps filter out weak or temporary swings.
