The Three Bar Reversal Pattern Indicator offers a powerful tool for traders, automatically identifying and highlighting three-bar reversal patterns directly on the price chart. This indicator serves as a valuable resource for detecting potential trend reversals and enables users to refine signal accuracy through integrated trend indicators.
Key Features
-
Automated Pattern Detection: The indicator scans for three-bar reversal patterns, presenting them with clear visual signals that aid in recognizing potential trend reversal points.
-
Pattern-Based Support and Resistance Levels: When a reversal pattern is confirmed and price action aligns with it, the indicator extends the pattern boundaries, establishing levels where the upper boundary often functions as resistance and the lower boundary as support.
-
Trend Filter Options: This indicator allows users to incorporate trend filters from several key indicators, including Moving Average Cloud, Supertrend, and Donchian Channels. This customization enables traders to filter patterns that either align with or counter the detected trend.
Details of the Three-Bar Reversal Pattern
The three-bar reversal pattern is a well-regarded technical analysis formation that often indicates a potential reversal in the current trend. Each pattern consists of three consecutive bars, interpreted as follows:
- First and Second Bars: These two consecutive bars reflect the prevailing trend, typically showing the same sentiment (bullish or bearish).
- Third Bar: This bar confirms the reversal by closing beyond the high or low of the first bar, signaling a possible shift in market sentiment.
Types of Three-Bar Reversal Patterns
This indicator supports two main types of three-bar reversal patterns:
- Normal Pattern: Identifies three-bar reversal formations that do not require the third bar’s closing price to exceed the high (in a bullish setup) or low (in a bearish setup) of the first bar.
- Enhanced Pattern: Identifies patterns where the third bar’s closing price surpasses the high (bullish setup) or low (bearish setup) of the first bar, signaling a stronger indication of trend reversal.
