//@param left   Bars to the left required to be lower (for highs) / higher (for lows).
//@param right  Bars to the right required to confirm.
//@returns      Pivot object, or na if no pivot at this bar.

Overview

Library Template defines a Pivot type holding bar index, price and direction, a higher timeframe request helper that reads the previous closed bar, a method that returns a confirmed swing pivot only after the right-hand bars have formed, and a helper that rounds prices to the symbol tick. It is a starting point for other scripts to import, not a standalone indicator.

Risk Notes

No repainting, lookahead or stacked entries were found in its code or README. That says nothing about how well it works: test it first.

Third-party code. ForexR did not write, test or endorse this script, and the summary above was generated automatically from its code and README. Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints. Check it in the Strategy Tester and on a demo account before you rely on it.
