ta.pivotlow(source, leftbars, rightbars) → series float

Arguments

ParameterTypeDescription
sourceseries int/floatSeries used to detect the pivot (often low).
leftbarsseries int/floatLeft-side pivot strength: number of bars evaluated before the candidate.
rightbarsseries int/floatRight-side pivot strength: subsequent bars required for detection.

Returns

Price of the point or NaN.

Remarks

A value is reported rightbars bars after the candidate. The example plots it five bars back for visual alignment, which does not make the value available at that earlier time. A result can change while its detection bar remains open.

Collect confirmed pivotlow values and extend them forward as horizontal support, or feed them into trendline or pattern logic.
