This technical indicator identifies "peaks" in both highs and lows within a specified lookback window, generating buy and sell signals upon the detection of extreme levels.
How does it work?
- Scans price action to find Highest Highs and Lowest Lows.
- Monitors whether the current bar represents a new High or Low in relation to the previous candlesticks and bars.
- Creates two "counters" that increment when new highs or lows are established.
The Peek+ will display:
- Yellow or Red lines for for the "counters" that detect new highs or lows
- When a “significant peak” is detected and a strong reversal is due, histogram bars will appear as Green or Orange
- Intermediate reversals and signals of trend exhaustion are displayed when the Yellow or Red lines (counters) make a sharp, triangular point.
There are several options that can be toggled:
modeHL- True: Compares Highs/Lows
- False: Compares Closes only
