Role Reversal Detection Alert [MsF]

The Role Reversal Detection Alert [MsF] indicator is a specialized monitoring tool designed to identify and alert traders when price action confirms a support-to-resistance or resistance-to-support flip. It automates the observation of horizontal levels, ensuring users do not miss high-probability rebound setups commonly found in double top or double bottom patterns.

Usage

The script is primarily used to track potential role reversal setups around a user-defined price level. It operates on a two-step confirmation logic:

1. Touch Phase: The price (including candle wicks) must first touch or penetrate the primary horizontal support/resistance line within a specified lookback period.
2. Breakout Phase: After the initial touch, an alert is triggered only when a candle body closes beyond a secondary "alert judgment" band.

This mechanism filters out premature signals, requiring the market to demonstrate a clear rejection and subsequent momentum away from the level.

Details

The indicator constructs three visual reference lines:

• Base Line: The primary horizontal price level where the "role reversal" is expected to occur.
• Upper/Lower Bands: Offset lines calculated based on a pip range from the base line. These serve as the threshold for the alert judgment.

The logic incorporates a lookback window (defaulting to 18 bars) to check for the initial touch of the base line. For a long setup, the price must have dropped to or below the base line before closing above the upper band. For a short setup, the price must have risen to or above the base line before closing below the lower band.

Settings

• Input Horizontal Value: Sets the specific price level for the main horizontal base line.
• Band Range by pips: Determines the distance (in pips) from the base line to the secondary alert judgment lines.
• Line Color/Width: Customizes the visual appearance of the primary base line.
• Band Color/Width: Customizes the visual appearance of the upper and lower offset bands.
