Trend Reversal Alerts Strategy [4H/3M]

The Trend Reversal Alerts Strategy [4H/3M] indicator is a momentum-based trading tool designed to identify potential trend shifts on medium to long-term timeframes by analyzing price action relative to candle body dynamics.

Usage

The Trend Reversal Alerts Strategy [4H/3M] can be used to identify entry and exit points based on consecutive price movements and a calculated "resistance" factor. When the price consistently moves in one direction while meeting specific candle spirit requirements, the strategy triggers a signal.

• Long Entry: Occurs when the current and previous closes show upward momentum adjusted by the Delta parameter, combined with a resistance value exceeding the user-defined threshold.
• Exit/Short: The strategy closes long positions when downward price action is detected alongside a resistance value falling below the sell threshold.

The strategy is optimized for the 4-hour and 3-month timeframes, aiming to capture significant trend reversals rather than minor fluctuations.

Details

The script operates by calculating a "resistance" value, which is the ratio of the total candle range (High - Low) to the candle body size (Close - Open). This metric, referred to as "spirit" in the logic, helps determine the conviction behind a price move.

The entry logic incorporates a Delta factor to filter price volatility. A Buy signal requires the closing price to maintain an upward trajectory over two bars while ensuring the candle structure demonstrates sufficient bullish strength. Conversely, the Sell logic monitors for a breakdown in price levels relative to the Delta-adjusted previous closes.

Settings

• Delta: Adjusts the sensitivity of the price change requirement. Higher values require more significant price moves to trigger signals.
• Buy Resistance: Sets the minimum resistance threshold required for a long signal. This filters for candles with specific body-to-wick ratios.
• Sell Resistance: Sets the maximum resistance threshold required to trigger a sell/close signal.
