Overview

The strategy evaluates price retracement and extension ratios across four consecutive alternating pivot points to trigger long or short positions. It protects trades using an ATR-padded stop loss placed near the anchor pivot and sets a take-profit target at 1.5 times the initial risk, bounded by prior pivot levels. Dynamic pivot trendlines and pivot markers are plotted directly on the price chart.
