Hypothetical (Swing Explorer)

Hypothetical (Swing Explorer)

Overview

The Hypothetical (Swing Explorer) is a Pine Script v6 indicator for TradingView, designed to analyze market structure and illustrate price movements. It combines ZigZag-based pivot detection, liquidity sweeps, order blocks, trendlines, trail lines, and hypothetical illustrative swing marks, with optional custom-colored candles. We use integrated hypotheticals support forward estimations. A status table summarizes trend direction, trail status, and hypothetical illustrative marks, making it a versatile tool for traders reviewing commonly monitored setups.

How It Works

The indicator identifies market structure using a ZigZag algorithm (ta.highest, ta.lowest, default length: 9 bars) to plot swing highs/lows, verified by pivot detection (ta.pivothigh, ta.pivotlow)—ensuring non-repainting verification. Trend direction is determined by comparing fast (default: 8-period) and slow (default: 21-period) EMAs. Liquidity sweeps are detected at pivot highs/lows, and order blocks are drawn using ATR-based sizing. Trendlines connect pivot points, and trail lines track price or EMA trends with optional gradient coloring. Hypotheticals (next swing, illustrative swing, reversal, echo swing) are calculated using historical swing ranges, momentum, and ATR, with estimated arrival times based on velocity patterns. Custom candles reflect ZigZag leg direction, with illustrative or verified coloring options.
