Author Message :
This advanced indicator is designed to analyze the market's structure through a combination of pivot highs and lows, creating a nuanced understanding of potential market movements.
Operational Mechanism:
  • The MS Algo calculates pivot highs and lows over specified periods (input by the user) to determine the market's current structure. It then evaluates the market's position relative to these pivot points to assign a market structure score, which can range from bullish to bearish extremes.
  • Signals for long and short positions, as well as exits, are generated based on the interaction between the close price and these pivot points.
  • Additionally, the indicator plots zones around the moving average, adjusted for the ATR and the specified 'Zone Distance,' providing a visual guide to areas where the market might find support or resistance.

Looks like a great chart. Is there a scan to find stocks where the "buy" and/or "sell" signal just appear?

This advanced indicator is designed to analyze the market's structure through a combination of pivot highs and lows, creating a nuanced understanding of potential market movements.
Operational Mechanism:
  • The MS Algo calculates pivot highs and lows over specified periods (input by the user) to determine the market's current structure. It then evaluates the market's position relative to these pivot points to assign a market structure score, which can range from bullish to bearish extremes.
  • Signals for long and short positions, as well as exits, are generated based on the interaction between the close price and these pivot points.
  • Additionally, the indicator plots zones around the moving average, adjusted for the ATR and the specified 'Zone Distance,' providing a visual guide to areas where the market might find support or resistance.

What part of the code would I change or adjust if I wanted to move the cloud and/or buy & sell bubble forward or back a few candles. I've found the signals to be a little late to the party some time. Another great one from @samer800

Yes, this indicator has a slight lag built-in. It needs to wait until the current candle closes in order to complete its calculations. No, the lag is not adjustable.
