How to read it

  • Each leg is a move larger than the deviation; smaller wiggles are ignored.
  • Labels show the reversal price, the change and the leg volume at each pivot.
  • Useful for reading swing structure and measuring legs.

Key settings

  • Price deviation 5 %, pivot legs 10.
  • Projected last leg, reversal price, change (Absolute or Percent) and cumulative volume on.

Good to know

  • Drawn on the price pane, over the candles.
  • The last leg is provisional and moves until the next pivot is confirmed.
