Triangle Reversal Indicator
Mar 4, 2025
The Triangle Reversal Indicator tool identifies potential price reversal points by detecting specific two-candle patterns where the current candle breaches the previous candle's extremes before closing in the opposite direction.
Usage
The indicator can be used to spot short-term exhaustion or reversal points in the market. It plots small triangles above or below candles when specific price action criteria are met, and it can also recolor the bars to highlight these signals.
- Bullish Reversal: A green triangle appears below the candle when the current candle makes a lower low than the previous candle but manages to close above the previous candle's close.
- Bearish Reversal: A red triangle appears above the candle when the current candle makes a higher high than the previous candle but manages to close below the previous candle's close.
These signals are often used as visual cues for potential entry or exit points within a broader trend or at key support and resistance levels.
Details
The script evaluates price action on a bar-by-bar basis. The core logic relies on the concept of a "liquidity grab" or a "fakeout," where price moves beyond a previous high or low to trigger stops or entice breakout traders, only to reverse and close back within the previous candle's range. This behavior suggests a shift in momentum. The script ensures signals are only processed once a bar is confirmed to prevent repainting.
