RE: Finally a Better Elliott Wave that Doesn't Repaint and Makes Sense

Hello, would someone please code the above?

It's a simple concept that seems to make a lot of sense. The link has all the details. My coding skills are embarrassingly limited, I'm still learning, but I coded this for an intraday chart, which is just something to get started, but not how it should be implemented.

input length = 4;
input averageType = AverageType.WILDERS;

def ATR = MovingAverage(averageType, TrueRange(high(period=”DAY”)[1], close(period=”DAY”)[1], low(period=”DAY”)[1]), length);

plot DailyHigh = high(period=”DAY”)[1];
plot D_High_MinusATR = dailyhigh - ATR;

plot DailyLow = low(period=”DAY”)[1];
plot D_Low_PlusATR = dailylow + ATR;

Thank you in advance, I appreciate your help.

It seems I improved the initial code a little, but cannot figure out how to plot the swing lines.
Would someone please help? Thank you.

input length = 4;
input averageType = AverageType.WILDERS;

# Calculate ATR using a specified moving average
def ATR = MovingAverage(averageType, TrueRange(high(period = "DAY")[1], close(period = "DAY")[1], low(period = "DAY")[1]), length);

# Define Daily High and Daily Low minus/plus ATR respectively
def DailyHigh = high(period = "DAY")[1];
def D_High_MinusATR = DailyHigh - ATR;

def DailyLow = low(period = "DAY")[1];
def D_Low_PlusATR = DailyLow + ATR;

# Initialize "ZigZag" plotting
rec isUpTrend = if close > D_Low_PlusATR and close[1] <= D_Low_PlusATR[1] then 1 else if close < D_High_MinusATR and close[1] >= D_High_MinusATR[1] then 0 else isUpTrend[1];
rec lastPivot = CompoundValue(1, if (isUpTrend and isUpTrend[1] == 0) or (!isUpTrend and isUpTrend[1]) then close else lastPivot[1], close);
plot line = lastPivot;
line.EnableApproximation();

# Set line properties for visualization
line.SetDefaultColor(Color.CYAN);
line.SetStyle(Curve.FIRM);
line.SetLineWeight(1);
