Right-Span Confirmation Lag

Right-Span Confirmation Lag is the number of future bars required before a candidate pivot becomes knowable.

Intermediate 1 linked topicEvidence-reviewed

Definitions

In plain terms

A larger right span makes the geometry more selective but delays publication.

Technical

confirmation_lag = right_span bars; it is a latency in bars, not a price distance.

Scope

Latency and geometric selectivity are coupled by the chosen right span.

Examples

  • A reviewer computes Right-Span Confirmation Lag on a small deterministic fixture and checks timing, units, and boundary behavior before publication.

Common misconceptions

  • Latency and geometric selectivity are coupled by the chosen right span.

Evidence and governance

  1. Pine Script pivot techniques TradingView · official platform documentation

    Supports: preferred label, short definition, technical definition, units

    Limits: The package freezes its own equality, separation, and OHLC policies rather than claiming one universal pivot definition.

  2. Pine Script repainting concepts TradingView · official platform documentation

    Supports: preferred label, short definition, technical definition, units

    Limits: Platform display behavior does not establish financial usefulness or predictive value.

  3. scipy.signal.find_peaks SciPy · first party technical publication

    Supports: preferred label, short definition, technical definition, units

    Limits: This retrospective signal function is not itself a causal OHLC pivot detector.

  4. Closing Price Investor.gov · official standard

    Supports: preferred label, short definition, technical definition, units

    Limits: A close is not automatically an adjusted close and may vary by market session convention.
