| LinesColor | Numeric | Magenta | Color of horizontal marker lines. |
| PlotColor | Numeric | Cyan | Color of the ShowMe marker. |

Description
The Pivot Rev Gen - Dn ShowMe study identifies when any price on the current bar breaches any previously un-breached "significant" low pivot. On a chart, it places a dot on the current bar at the identified low pivot price and optionally draws a horizontal line from the pivot low to the current bar. In RadarScreen, it inserts the pivot low price in the indicator cell. You can change the left and right strength values used to calculate the pivot.
Note In RadarScreen, if you want to process the equivalent of a 1000 bar "chart", you will need to load 1000 "additional bars" (the as-delivered default setting is 200).
A pivot is considered "significant" if its right strength is within the range specified by the MinRStren and MaxRStren inputs, and its left strength is greater than LRFactor times its right strength. If LRFactor is set to 0, the pivot's left strength is required to be greater than or equal to MinRStren.
Pivot points are used to calculate support and resistance levels, with a low pivot indicating the support level, and the high pivot indicating a resistance level. When price penetrates the support line as calculated by a previous low pivot, it is considered a breakout and the support level generally becomes the new resistance level.
This ShowMe study contains alert criteria; when you enable the alert, an alert is triggered each time the price on the current bar breaches a previously un-breached pivot point.
Remarks
The approach used in this ShowMe may also provide a more robust alternative to studies that look for "new lows", since even there, the real event of interest may be the breaching of a previously un-breached significant low point on the chart.
