Fibonacci Retracement MTF/LOGIn Pine Script, there’s always a shorter way to achieve a result. As far as I can see, there isn’t an indicator among the community scripts that can produce Fibonacci Retracement levels (linear and logarithmic) as multiple time frame results based on a reference 🍺 This script, which I developed a long time ago, might serve as a starting point to fill this gap.
OVERVIEW
This indicator is a short and simple script designed to display Fibonacci Retracement levels on the chart according to user preferences, aiming to build the structure of support and resistance.
ORIGINALITY
This script:
Can calculate 'retracement' results from higher time frames.
Can recall previous time frame results using its reference parameter.
Performs calculations based on both linear and logarithmic scales.
Offers optional multipliers and appearance settings to simplify users’ tasks
CONCEPTS
Fibonacci Retracement is a technical analysis tool used to predict potential reversal points in an asset's price after a significant movement. This indicator identifies possible support and resistance levels by measuring price movements between specific points in a trend, using certain ratios derived from the Fibonacci sequence. It is based on impulsive price actions.
MECHANICS
This indicator first identifies the highest and lowest prices in the time frame specified by the user. Next, it determines the priority order of the bars where these prices occurred. Finally, it defines the trend direction. Once the trend direction is determined, the "Retracement" levels are constructed.
FUNCTIONS
The script contains two functions:
f_ret(): Generates levels based on the multiplier parameter.
f_print(): Handles the visualization by drawing the levels on the chart and positioning the labels in alignment with the levels. It utilizes parameters such as ordinate, confirmation, multiplier, and color for customization
NOTES
The starting bar for the time frame entered by the user must exist on the chart. Otherwise, the trend direction cannot be determined correctly, and the levels may be drawn inaccurately. This is also mentioned in the tooltip of the TimeFrame parameter.
I hope it helps everyone. Do not forget to manage your risk. And trade as safely as possible. Best of luck!
Reference
Example - HTF Values Without 'Security()'This is an example of how to reference higher timeframe data without the
need for a 'security()' call.
I have attempted to create the function example:
f_insecurity()
with the purpose of wrapping up and pumping out all common relevent HTF
price data that's needed for your everyday indicators in a reliable fashion.
Return Error With Reference & Constant Value Enforcer FunctionsI found MichelT 's work thanks to LucF . One of its cool concepts that touched me was his error's function. Whenever something unexpected takes place, it returns an error's message right on the chart, one nobody can't say they can't see lol. I told him it would be cool if we could get specific messages related to specific cases, he said "there is a task for such feature". On the meantime I wanted to enrich his feature by making the function printing any number the user wants.
Another really cool thing I have been in love with are "Pine Coding Conventions", I can't express enough how thankful I am to the amazing team behind it. Just recently they introduced me to a new rule, one seeming very popular across the board, using all capital letters to define a constant value.
On this script I combined both error's printing message with a constant check functions that enforce the value must remain unchanged ever. I hope you like this work, I really enjoy seeing brilliant people coming up with some awesome ideas. Let's together make "Pine" a more cooler language.
