V Bottom & V Top Pattern [Misu]

Fontiramisu Updated   
This indicator shows V bottom & V top patterns as well as potential V bottom & V top.
These V bottom & V top are chart powerful reversal patterns. 
They appear in all markets and time-frames, but due to the nature of the aggressive moves that take place when a market reverses direction, it can be difficult to identify this pattern in real-time.
To address this problem, I added potential V pattern as well as the confirmed one.

Usages:
You can use V top & V bottoms for reversal zones.
You can use it for scalping strategies, as a main buy & sell signal.
Potential V patterns can be used to anticipate the market, in addition to volatility or momentum indicators, for example.

How it works?
This indicator uses pivot points to determine potential V patterns and confirm them.
Paramaters are available to filter breakouts of varying strengths. 
Patterns also have a "max number bars" to be validated.

Why a Strategy type indicator?
Due to the many different parameters, this indicator is a strategy type. 
This way you can overview the best settings depending on your pair & timeframe. 
Parameters are available to filter.

Depth: Parameter used to calculate parameters.
Confirmation Type: Type of signal used to confirme the pattern.
> Mid Pivot: pattern will confirm on mid pivot breakout.

Lenght Avg Body: Lenght used to calculate the average body size.
First Breakout Factor: This factor multiplied by the "body avg" filters out the non-significant breakout of potential V pattern.
Confirmation Breakout Factor: This factor multiplied by the "body avg" filters out the non-significant breakout for the confirmation.
Max Bars Confirmation: The maximum number of bars needed to validate the pattern.
