Point and Figure Displacement Indicator

How it works

The PnF Displacement indicator calculates price movement using specialized displacement parameters that traders can customize. It evaluates column ranges based on selected methods like 'Open to Close' or 'High to Low', computing standard deviation across a specified historical length.

The script then applies a multiplier to the standard deviation to adjust sensitivity and determine minimum displacement conditions. By incorporating optional Fair Value Gap checks, the indicator provides a nuanced approach to identifying significant price movements within Point and Figure chart frameworks.

The flexibility of adjusting displacement parameters helps traders adapt the indicator to various trading styles and asset classes. By offering multiple configuration options, the script empowers traders to develop more personalized and responsive trading strategies.
