Local Limits

By Electrified
Updated
Displays recent higher highs, lower highs, lower lows, and higher lows as a collection of local limit indicators.

In its simplicity is a lot more powerful than might appear at first glance.

  • Does not rely on volatility calculation.
  • Can be linked together to create an objective view of recent support and resistance levels.
  • Makes current trends more visible.
  • Excellent for use as a trailing stop algorithm.


Parameters

  • Single Bar Sensitivity: True (default) reacts to individual bars. False only responds to the alignment of 2 bars.
  • Margin (1-5): Adds extra distance from higher lows and lower highs to reduce the sensitivity of broken trends.


Single indicators with configurable sources:
Local Limit Higher
Local Limit Lower
