Pocket Pivot

The Pocket Pivot was originated by traders Gil Morales and Dr. Chris Kacher. A Pocket Pivot is a price and volume pattern that reveals an interest of institutional buyers. The indicator is best used when the stock is is a proper consolidation base and in a prior uptrend.

The indicator shows up when the following conditions are is true.

Current day's price has a close greater than the open.
Current day's volume is greater than previous 10 trading days.
Current day crosses up over the 10 day or 50 day SMA.

There are no changeable inputs other than color and shape. The script also does not check to see if the stock is in a proper base which allow the indicator to show up in other conditions.

I welcome your feedback and any enhancements you may suggest.
