Great Script I added this to my chart...

Interesting to note the advanced market moves indicator fired along with the pivot script arrow on the hourly.
 
I am liking this. Thanks for sharing, J007RMC.

My coding skills are lacking - just starting to learn. I have tried to insert BUY / SELL commands to use the FloatingPL but just not getting it right. Would you please help? The following seems off and I know it can be written better to work with what you have done. I'm not sure how to adapt this to your initial order, the add to order, plus stops and trailing stops.

AddOrder(condition = confirmed, type = OrderType.BUY_TO_OPEN, price = close, name = "LE");
AddOrder(condition = stop_hit, type = OrderType.SELL_TO_CLOSE, price = close, name = "LX");
AddOrder(condition = trail_hit, type = OrderType.SELL_TO_CLOSE, price = close, name = "TrailStop");

Thanks,
Rick
 
This is a script I run every day I like it

They do, I wait for the pivot shelf to settle with this script I use a swing hi/lo script catching the swings is important to me to look for the swing highs and lo's.... here is the kicker

Help with turning a study into a scan. I can’t find who orginally posted this if it was here. There two seperate studies one for Longs one for Shorts. I’m trying to turn one into a scan: The scan says to remove labels. I did, must have at least one plot. This is where I’ve tried to alter the study to get results with no luck.

Here is the original clean code for the study. Can someone help me turn this into a scan please??
input n = 5;#hint n: For pivot and standard deviation
input addAtPercentStDev = 75;#hint addAtPercentStDev: Add at this percent of standard deviation below previous low

def h = high;
def l = low;
def c = close;
def nan = Double.NaN;
def tick = TickSize();
def x = BarNumber();
def stDev = CompoundValue(1, StDev(c, n), nan);
def hh = h == Highest(h, n);

def confirmation_count = if hh then 0 else
if c crosses below LP_Low
then confirmation_count[1] + 1
else confirmation_count[1];
def confirmationX = if confirmation_count crosses above 0
then x else nan;
def confirmed = confirmation_count crosses above 0;

def ro;
def stc;
def trail;
def retrace;
if confirmed {

Ok these are the changes I made: created a study; and used the study and said TRUE: I only got a couple results on a D and not on smaller time frames. I think I may have figured this out and i’m so shocked and happy I’m finally learning this stuff. Let me know if there is something else I may have missed:

input stDevMult = 2.0;#hint stDevMult: trail stop multiplier
input labels = no;

def openingLots = Max(4, initialLots);
def addedlots = Max(2, lotsToAdd);

def h = high;
def l = low;
def c = close;
def nan = Double.NaN;
def tick = TickSize();
def x = BarNumber();
def stDev = CompoundValue(1, StDev(c, n), nan);
def hh = h == Highest(h, n);
def LPx = if hh then x else nan;
def LP_low = if !IsNaN(LPx) then l else LP_Low[1];
def LP_High = if !IsNaN(LPx) then h else LP_High[1];
def confirmation_count = if hh then 0 else
if c crosses below LP_Low
then confirmation_count[1] + 1
else confirmation_count[1];
def confirmationX = if confirmation_count crosses above 0
then x else nan;
def confirmed = confirmation_count crosses above 0;

def ro;
def stc;
def trail;
def retrace;
if confirmed {
ro = Round((c - (LP_High - c) / (openingLots - 2)) / tick, 0) * tick;
stc = LP_High;
trail = LP_High;
retrace = LP_High;
}else{
ro = CompoundValue(1, ro[1], nan);
stc = stc[1];
trail = Round(Min(trail[1], h[1] + stDev[1] * stDevMult) / tick, 0) * tick;
retrace = Round(Min(retrace[1], h[1] + StDev[1] * addAtPercentStDev / 100) / tick, 0) * tick;
}
