Pivot Trend — gratis, para XAUUSD
Swing pivots in their trend context - the two things a pivot-breakout trader needs
A pivot break only means something in the direction of the larger trend. This indicator marks each confirmed swing high/low (dots) and plots a trend MA (default 50), so you can see at a glance whether a break of the last pivot is with the trend or against it. A pivot is only drawn once confirmed as the local extreme of its window - confirmed pivots never move.
Features
- ✓Confirmed swing highs/lows as dots (permanent once confirmed)
- ✓Trend MA (default 50) for directional context
- ✓The event to watch: a break of the last confirmed pivot in the MA's direction
- ✓Defaults tuned for XAUUSD

Note
A visualisation tool, not a signal service. A with-trend pivot break is a setup, not a guarantee. As with every ZigZag, the newest still-forming leg is provisional until a new extreme confirms it - confirmed pivots are permanent.
