ThinkScript: Bar-based ZigZag (N-bar confirmed) + one bubble after each pivot

[samhanoh]

I want a scan for a long setup during a pullback in an existing uptrend using your ZigZag swings:

1. Confirm trend: two consecutive Higher Highs (HH1 → HH2) and two consecutive Higher Lows (HL1 → HL2) on the chosen timeframe (weekly for my use).
2. Current price is now retracing into the area of the LAST swing high (HH2)—i.e., price is within X%/ticks of HH2 or has touched and is holding above HH2, which I expect to act as support (resistance→support flip).

I need a ThinkScript study that:

• Detects pivot highs/lows by bar confirmation: N bars to the right (default N = 50, user input).
• Draws a ZigZag line only between consecutive confirmed pivots (no early lines / no repaint).
• Shows exactly one bubble only when a pivot is confirmed (i.e., on bar t+N for a pivot at t):
  • Green bubble for confirmed pivot high, red for confirmed pivot low (black text).
  • Bubble text = bar count between the previous confirmed pivot and this pivot.

“non-repainting, perfect” zigzag — it sounds ideal, but it can’t exist. A swing high or low is only confirmed after future price action.
Many have tried. Here is an example:

For real, actionable levels, use Pivot Point Support & Resistance — they’re calculated from completed candles, don’t repaint, and give fixed intraday levels you can trade from.

Anchored VWAP is also a solid option for adaptive support and resistance.

If you are looking for a proven, non-repainting tools then pivots, VWAP, and session highs/lows combined with price action will be the best path.
