DeMark Trendline Trader_v2
Download scriptThis script is a specialized technical analysis tool designed to identify structural turning points and potential price targets on a trading chart. It uses a logic based on "TD Points" (Trend Definition points), which are specific high and low price peaks used to map out the prevailing direction of the market.
Here is a breakdown of how the logic functions:
Core Identification Logic
The script constantly scans past price data to find significant structural peaks and troughs.
- High Points: It looks for "tops" where the current bar's high is higher than the bars immediately before and after it. It is programmed to recognize not just single tops, but also double, triple, and quadruple tops (where multiple consecutive bars reach the same peak).
- Low Points: Similarly, it identifies "bottoms" where the current bar's low is lower than those surrounding it, including consecutive matching lows.
Trend Mapping and Visuals
Once these high and low points are identified, the script performs several automated actions:
- Trend Lines: It draws visual trend lines connecting sequential high points (Upper Trend) and low points (Lower Trend). These help the user visualize the current "path" of the market.
- Step Tracking: The logic can look back through multiple "steps" of these points, allowing a trader to see not just the most recent trend, but historical ones as well.
- Horizontal Projections: It can draw horizontal lines at specific price levels where it calculates that a trend might encounter resistance or support based on previous price movement.
Price Projections (Targets)
One of the more advanced features of this script is its ability to calculate "Take Profit" projections:
- Target Calculation: By measuring the angle and distance between two identified TD points, the script calculates potential future targets.
- Dynamic Adjustments: The logic checks if the price has already moved significantly toward these targets and adjusts the displayed projection lines (labeled as T1) accordingly to show where the next major price reaction is likely to occur.
Notifications and Feedback
To assist the trader in real-time, the script includes a monitoring system:
- Breakout Alerts: The code monitors the current price against the established trend lines. If the price crosses above an upper trend line or below a lower trend line, it triggers a real-time alert notification.
- On-Screen Commentary: It provides a text summary on the chart that lists the specific price coordinates of the detected highs and lows, along with the calculated target prices.
Summary of User Experience
For a non-technical user, this tool acts as an automated "scout." It removes the manual work of hunting for peaks and troughs in historical data, draws the connecting trend lines automatically, projects where the price might go next based on geometric calculations, and sounds an alarm when the current market price breaks out of the established trend.
