Pivot Trendlines with Breaks [HG]

HoanGhetti Updated   
🧾 Pivot Trendlines and Breaks
A script meant to debut and provide an example usage of the Simple Trendlines library using Pine Script's built-in pivot system.
In under 50 lines of code, with inputs, plots, styling, and alerts included we're able to create trendlines with a breakout system.

▶️ How it works
Calculating pivot points helps traders identify moments at which the market's attitude can shift from bullish to bearish. In the background, the script tracks pivot events for trendlines and uses a system that prevents any leakage between the trendlines before they are drawn.

Here's an example image of the script calculating trendlines with breaks on the TEMA. Now possible with this update.
While the code is no longer around 50 lines as stated in the main description, the indicator is structured and extended to provide developers with examples of how the Simple Trendlines library can be used.
