Golden Pocket Retracements with Pivot Swings and Moving Average Filters
Summary
This indicator identifies retracement zones between configurable Fibonacci levels, set by default to 0.618 and 0.65. It anchors each zone to a recent pivot high and low, using a configurable pivot distance to define swing points. Bullish and bearish zones are drawn as boxes and extended while price remains beyond them; when price reaches a box, it changes appearance. Alerts can notify users when price touches a zone.
Two moving averages can be configured by type and timeframe. The filter can require both pivot prices to align with the faster average and, in its stricter mode, require the averages to point in the same trend direction. The description presents the zones as possible retracement entry areas and suggests using a higher-timeframe trend filter. However, it offers no tested entry, exit, or risk rules and no performance evidence. Pivot confirmation requires bars on both sides of a candidate swing, so the zone depends on delayed pivot recognition; a touched level is not evidence of a reliable reversal.
Key ideas
- The indicator draws retracement zones between configurable Fibonacci levels based on recent pivot highs and lows.
- A pivot-distance setting controls how many bars on either side define a swing point.
- Moving average filters can restrict zones to swings aligned with one or both averages, including averages from another timeframe.
- Zones extend until price touches them, and alerts can flag touches.
- The document presents possible areas of interest rather than a tested trading strategy or demonstrated source of returns.
