Triple Top Intervening Troughs

Triple Top Intervening Troughs is the two low pivots separating the three comparable highs.

Definitions

In plain terms

The troughs establish the valleys between resistance tests and anchor the neckline.

Technical

The required pivot sequence is high -> low -> high -> low -> high with each pivot strictly confirmed and spaced.

Scope

Repeated highs without two qualifying troughs are not a triple-top structure.

Examples

  • A reviewer computes Triple Top Intervening Troughs on a deterministic close fixture and checks pivot timing, threshold equality, neckline behavior, and rejection diagnostics before publication.

Common misconceptions

  • Repeated highs without two qualifying troughs are not a triple-top structure.

    Supports: preferred label, short definition, technical definition

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

    Supports: preferred label, short definition, technical definition

    Limits: The paper's smoothing, sample, and empirical design are not copied into this package and do not validate its thresholds.

  3. Pine Script repainting concepts TradingView · official platform documentation

    Supports: preferred label, short definition, technical definition

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

  4. Pine Script pivot techniques TradingView · official platform documentation

    Supports: preferred label, short definition, technical definition

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