369 Swing Points

369 Swing Points - Digital Root Time Analysis
This indicator combines swing point detection with digital root numerology applied to intraday timestamps, filtering for times that reduce to 3, 6, or 9.

Methodology:
The script uses pivot point detection to identify swing highs and lows, then calculates the digital root of the bar's timestamp. Digital root is calculated by recursively summing the digits of a number until a single digit remains (e.g., 13:45 = 1345 → 1+3+4+5 = 13 → 1+3 = 4). Only swing points occurring at times with digital roots of 3, 6, or 9 are displayed.

What Makes This Unique:
Unlike standard swing point indicators, this filters results based on time-based numerology. The multiple calculation modes allow testing different hypotheses: whether the full timestamp (HHMM), just the minutes (MM), or either produces significant patterns. This is particularly useful for traders exploring intraday cyclical patterns or time-based market theories, especially popular in swing trading communities that follow specific time cycles.

How It Works:
Detects swing highs/lows using configurable lookback periods
Extracts the timestamp from each swing point bar
Calculates digital root using selected time mode (Full Time, Minutes Only, or Both)
Displays only swings with DR of 3, 6, or 9
Includes timezone adjustment to match your local time
Optional real-time plotting to show potential swings before confirmation

Configuration:
Swing Length: Sensitivity of pivot detection (default: 2)
Digital Root Mode: Full Time (HHMM), Minutes Only (MM), or Both
Timezone Offset: Aligns displayed times with your chart's timezone
Label customization: Text size, color, spacing options
Real-time Plotting: Shows unconfirmed swings as they develop (with transparency)
Debug mode: View all swings with their digital roots for analysis

Usage:
Works on all intraday timeframes (1min to 4H). Adjust timezone offset to ensure accurate time display. Use debug mode to verify swing detection and see digital root calculations for all pivots. Enable "Highlight 369 Digital Root Bars" to see when current bar time has a 3/6/9 digital root.
