Volume-Confirmed Reversal Engine

The Volume-Confirmed Reversal Engine indicator identifies high-probability market turning points by filtering price patterns with significant volume spikes to confirm exhaustion or capitulation.

Usage

The Volume-Confirmed Reversal Engine monitors the market for specific exhaustion setups followed by trend-reversal confirmation.

• Identifying Setups: When a price makes a new high or low relative to the lookback period on high volume, a "Setup Box" is drawn. This box highlights the price range of the "Anchor Candle" and serves as the zone that must be breached for a valid reversal.
• Confirmation Phase: Once a setup is active, the tool watches for a breakout from the opposite side of the box within a specific bar window. If the price breaks the box boundary, a BUY or SELL label is generated.
• Evaluating Signal Strength: Each signal is assigned a score from 1 to 4. A higher score indicates that more confluence factors were met, such as high volume on both the anchor and confirmation candles, as well as alignment with the long-term macro trend (200 EMA).
• Real-Time Monitoring: The on-chart dashboard tracks whether the engine is currently scanning for new setups or actively watching a bullish/bearish setup, including a countdown of bars remaining in the confirmation window.

Details

The indicator operates through a multi-step logic process:

1. Anchor Detection: It scans for extreme price movements (new highs/lows) over a user-defined lookback. If the volume filter is enabled, this candle must also exceed the average volume by a specified multiplier.
2. Temporal Constraint: Reversals must occur within a "Confirm Within" window. If the price fails to break the box or makes a new extreme during this time, the setup is invalidated.
3. Trend Alignment: To increase the probability of success, the engine can compare the signal direction against a long-term EMA to ensure the reversal is not fighting a dominant macro trend.

Settings

Price Action Settings

• Candle Lookback: Sets the number of bars used to determine if the current price is at a local extreme.
• Confirm Within (Bars): Defines the maximum duration (in bars) allowed for the price to break out of the setup box.

Volume Confirmation Settings

• Use Volume Filter: Enables or disables volume requirements for the initial anchor candle.
• Volume MA Length: The period used to calculate the average volume baseline.
• Anchor Candle Volume Multiplier: The factor by which anchor volume must exceed the average to be considered significant.
• Use Confirmation Candle Volume: Requires the breakout candle itself to also have high volume.
• Confirmation Candle Volume Multiplier: The volume threshold required for the breakout candle.

Signal Score Settings

• Macro Trend Filter (EMA): The length of the EMA used to determine the fourth point of the signal strength score.

FAQ

How do I interpret the Signal Score?

The score (1-4) represents the number of confirmation layers met. A score of 4/4 means the price pattern, anchor volume, confirmation volume, and macro trend alignment all support the signal.

What causes a setup box to disappear?

A setup box is removed if the price makes a new extreme (invalidating the anchor), if the confirmation window expires, or if a successful breakout occurs.
