In plain terms
The detector mirrors the high rule using lows.
Technical
L_i < min(left lows) and L_i <= min(right lows), then the separation floor must pass.
Scope
A low pivot uses intrabar low, not necessarily the lowest close.
Formula
L_i < min(left lows) and L_i <= min(right lows)L_i<\min(L_{left}),\quad L_i\le\min(L_{right})| Symbol | Meaning | Unit |
|---|---|---|
L_i | candidate low | price |
Output unit: boolean event
Examples
- A reviewer computes Low Pivot on a small deterministic fixture and checks timing, units, and boundary behavior before publication.
Common misconceptions
- A low pivot uses intrabar low, not necessarily the lowest close.

Evidence and governance
- Pine Script pivot techniques TradingView · official platform documentation
Supports: preferred label, short definition, technical definition, formula
Limits: The package freezes its own equality, separation, and OHLC policies rather than claiming one universal pivot definition.
- Pine Script repainting concepts TradingView · official platform documentation
Supports: preferred label, short definition, technical definition, formula
Limits: Platform display behavior does not establish financial usefulness or predictive value.
- scipy.signal.find_peaks SciPy · first party technical publication
Supports: preferred label, short definition, technical definition, formula
Limits: This retrospective signal function is not itself a causal OHLC pivot detector.
- Closing Price Investor.gov · official standard
Supports: preferred label, short definition, technical definition, formula
Limits: A close is not automatically an adjusted close and may vary by market session convention.
