How it works
The indicator first builds an internal swing structure from adaptive ATR-based price movement. External structure is then derived from the internal swings to summarize the broader market structure. Same-side movement extends the active external leg, while opposite internal pullbacks are used as candidates before external continuation or reversal breaks are confirmed. Break confirmation can be selected from candle wick or candle close.
Important notes This indicator is designed for visual market-structure analysis. It is not an Expert Advisor, does not trade automatically, and does not provide guaranteed trading results. Swing pivots require confirmation, so a confirmed label may be placed on the earlier candle where the pivot occurred. Pending or live structure visuals may move while the current swing is still forming.
