Hello, Horserider - I'm providing the code for the Support Resistance that I would like to start trading with but only after some testing. I'm hoping you could insert an alert for when the LowSwing and HighSwing Up/Down Arrows appear. Take care partner, Jr.
Code: 
declare upper;
input LookbackPeriod = 5;
input HideCurrentTF = no;
input HideTimeFrame2 = no;
input HideTimeFrame3 = no;
input TimeFrame2 = {default "15 MIN", "1 MIN", "2 MIN", "3 MIN", "4 MIN", "5 MIN", "10 MIN", "20 MIN", "30 MIN", "1 HOUR", "2 HOURS", "4 HOURS", DAY, "2 DAYS", "3 DAYS", "4 DAYS", WEEK, MONTH, "OPT EXP"};
input TimeFrame3 = {default "30 MIN", "1 MIN", "2 MIN", "3 MIN", "4 MIN", "5 MIN", "10 MIN", "15 MIN", "20 MIN", "1 HOUR", "2 HOURS", "4 HOURS", DAY, "2 DAYS", "3 DAYS", "4 DAYS", WEEK, MONTH, "OPT EXP"};

@jrchezz All you need to do is to just append the following two statements to the end of your study and you'll have the alerts for the arrows all set to go

Code: 
Alert(HighSwing, "High Swing", Alert.BAR, Sound.Ring);
Alert(LowSwing, "Low Swing", Alert.BAR, Sound.Bell);

I've also added crossed above and same results

I got it figured out...Needed to to pivot high line...Not pivot high

@BenTen does this repaint? or does it paint 5 to 10 mintues later?

That depends on the market... I've seen repainting within seconds as well as a half hour or more later... Just depends on the indicator, the market, and the specific instrument being traded...
 
@jonamez82 It will not if you just copy and paste the script over to TradingView. You would need to convert it. However, based on what I see over at TradingView, they already have plenty of auto support and resistance indicators.
 
This is amazing!! I have one question: Does this show support resistance lines before price reaches it like pivot points or does it place the lines after price touches it?
 
@Kapitalk12 I think so. I don't actively use it, so I can't confirm. You should add it to your chart and watch how it behaves during market hours to make sure.
 
Is there anyway to make this script work on different timeframes? For example, it would be amazing to be able to see the 5min plots of this script on the 1min chart. I was looking through the code but I couldnt really see any adjustable settings, thanks for any help!

See if this helps. This is the study in the first post now with multi-timeframe capability.

The chart displayed below has a 1min chart, 1min and 5min versions of the script below.

I am new to this forum and please excuse if this has been discussed or shared in another thread. I have tried searching extensively here but couldn't find anything specific to this requirement.

I need help with creating a custom scan for "break and retest" or "price near specific <plot>" of price close for the plots defined in this code.

Example - Scan setup: For any specific timeframe scan using Auto Pivot Points Support & Resistance Indicator study and based on the nearest plot (pivot high or low line)

Bullish:
(a) if price breaks prior high resistance and retests that same prior high as support which is now the pivot high line plot as per this study
(b) if price drops "near" the prior high which is the pivot high line as per this study

Bearish:
(a) if price breaks prior low support and retests that same prior low as resistance which is now the pivot low line plot as per this study
(b) if price rises "near" the prior low which the pivot low line as per this study

For the "near" variable I am looking for something similar to this scan setup for near 52 week high if that better illustrates my requirement here.
High == Highest(High(period = "DAY"), 252)

I also see some redirection to post #86 but I could not find a solution to this requirement, may be I didn't know how to. Any guidance if this solution was already provided would be great.

Thank you all, this is an amazing community and I am learning every day from all your support on these invaluable threads.

I have come up with the following scan criteria to support the requirements quoted, can the experts here please validate this or if there is a better way to achieve this. Constructive feedback is welcome, since this my first time with code here and I have no coding experience, just put together what I have learnt from this community.

Scan criteria #1:
Code: 
#Bullish
#Code Below price is within 'x' Percent of prior high
def asr = My_Auto_Support_Resistance()."pivotHighLine";
def percent = asr * 0.01;
plot scan = AbsValue(close - asr) <= percent;

In addition to this, I have added two more scan criteria to filter out target stocks

Scan criteria #2:
Code: 
#Price low is above the prior high to make sure the price has not breached the prior high
low is greater than or equal to My_Auto_Support_Resistance()."pivotHighLine"

Scan criteria #3:
Code: 
#Ensure last candle is a green candle for retest and go confirmation
close is greater than open

Another tip could be adding a scan criteria for Engulfing Bullish candle for power breakout after test.

Also, flip the code for Bearish scans.
