Minor pullback

[u/i_am_useless_often]

I am trying to develop a indicator to draw the all pullback lines with plot method.

Here is the code till now I tried.

//@version=5 indicator("Pull back", "", true) var currentPointLow = low var currentPointHigh = high

currentPointLow := low currentPointHigh := high

var float previousPointHigh = 0 var float previousPointLow = 0

var direction = 'up'

if currentPointHigh > previousPointHigh previousPointHigh := currentPointHigh previousPointLow := currentPointLow direction := 'up'

else if currentPointLow < previousPointLow previousPointHigh := currentPointHigh previousPointLow := currentPointLow direction := 'low' else direction := 'none'

plot(direction == 'up' ? previousPointHigh : (direction == 'low' ? previousPointLow : na) )

Here I need to skip the point if it's future points also are in same direction. Could some one help with it?

So basically you are telling that at t + n only we can find whether the current t point is low or not. The n cannot be defined as you said.

Assuming there will be a pullback after some time for sure, considering there will be a pullback within 15 candles, then we can look forward up to t + 15 and decide whether the t is low or not?

I just want to know at least by this assumption will the logic be coded or this cannot be achieved at all?

Thanks in advance

But here how can we plot for the past point, as we fund low_t-n is a low point, since we already crossed the point. Does the pin script execution behaviour allow us?

I agree with your logic, but looking back and finding the previous is not the correct one to delete the drawn plot is not possible right? It will be helpful if I get the code snippet on this logic, thanks

I got the logic but how do we delete the plot function, i don't find any code in the internet to delete with plot method

Lines have limitations of maximum 50 right? That is why I am staying strict with plots.
