Swing Failure Zones and Signals [AlgoAlpha]

How it works

The indicator analyzes price action by calculating the direction and length of each candle, comparing current high and low prices with those from a specified lookback period. It identifies swing failure points through specific criteria: a bullish swing failure occurs when the current low is lower than the previous low and the close is higher than the previous high.

Conversely, a bearish swing failure is detected when the current high is higher than the previous high and the close is lower than the previous low. Once these conditions are met, the script automatically creates zones on the chart to highlight these failure points and manages them by removing invalidated zones based on user-defined settings.
