Lindsey Measured Move Price TargetsLindsey is a pivot-structure target tool that auto-maps a simple 3-point swing sequence (P1 → P2 → P3) and projects a symmetry-based target (P4), then prints it as a clean “🎯” balloon on your chart. It’s designed to give traders a fast, repeatable way to visualize where the next measured move could resolve—without cluttering the price action.
How it works
The script detects pivot highs/lows using your chosen Left/Right Swing Bars (pivot confirmation).
It tracks a three-point structure:
Bull case: P1 = pivot low, P2 = pivot high, P3 = higher pivot low
Bear case: P1 = pivot high, P2 = pivot low, P3 = lower pivot high
Once a valid P3 prints, it calculates a projected target:
Bull target: P4 = P2 + (P2 − P3)
Bear target: P4 = P2 − (P3 − P2)
The target is displayed as a right-shifted balloon, so you can keep it visible ahead of current candles.
How to operate it (practical workflow)
Set Swing Sensitivity
Left Swing Bars / Right Swing Bars control how “strict” pivots are.
Lower values = more signals (noisier). Higher values = fewer, cleaner structures.
Place the balloon where you want it
Balloon Right Offset (bars) moves the 🎯 label forward in time for readability.
Vertical Offset nudges the label up/down in price units to avoid overlapping candles or other tools.
Lock or keep it live
Turn Lock Target Balloon ON to keep the last target fixed on-chart.
Leave it OFF to always display the most recent valid projection.
Style it to your theme
Customize bull/bear balloon colors, text color, and P1/P2/P3 marker colors.
Why it’s useful (benefits)
Clear targets without guesswork: turns swing structure into a consistent measured-move projection.
Less chart noise: one readable target balloon instead of multiple lines and annotations.
Works across assets/timeframes: pivots adapt naturally to volatility and timeframe.
Trader-friendly controls: offset + vertical spacing + lock mode make it easy to integrate with existing layouts.
Notes / best practices
Pivots confirm after the right-side bars complete—so targets are intentionally non-repainting in structure detection, but they appear with that normal pivot confirmation delay.
For choppy ranges, increase pivot bars to reduce whipsaw targets; for trends, slightly lower them to catch more swing opportunities.
