Trend Reversal System with SR levels
Apr 20, 2023

The Trend Reversal System with SR levels indicator is a comprehensive technical analysis tool designed to identify potential market exhaustion and trend reversals through a multi-phase sequential counting system combined with dynamic support and resistance levels. It provides traders with objective entry signals based on "Setup" and "Count" phases, helping to pinpoint high-probability turning points in any asset.
Usage
The indicator functions through two primary phases:
- Setup Phase: Tracks a sequence of price movements (typically 9 bars) where the close is compared to the close of four bars prior. When a setup is completed and "perfected" (meeting specific low/high requirements relative to recent bars), an 'S' label appears, signifying a potential reversal zone.
- Countdown Phase: Once a setup is complete, the tool begins a 13-bar countdown. If the countdown reaches 13, a 'C' label is plotted, indicating a more significant potential reversal point.
- SR Levels: The script automatically plots Support and Resistance lines based on the highs and lows established during completed Setup phases.
- Risk & Targets: When enabled, the tool identifies specific entry labels ("TRSSetup" or "TRSCount") and provides calculated risk levels (Stop Loss) and profit targets.
Details
The system utilizes a logic similar to sequential exhaustion indicators. A "Recycle" ('R') occurs if a new setup of the same direction appears that is more significant than the current one, effectively restarting the count. Conversely, a count can be "Cancelled" ('x') if price breaks the opposite SR level or a contrary setup occurs. The "Conservative" versus "Aggressive" approach settings determine the strictness of the entry conditions based on price action confirmation.

FAQ
- How do I interpret the 'S' and 'C' labels? 'S' stands for a completed Setup (9 bars), while 'C' stands for a completed Countdown (13 bars). Both indicate potential reversal points, with 'C' generally being considered a stronger exhaustion signal.
- What does the 'R' label mean? 'R' stands for Recycle. It means the current countdown has been reset because a new, more dominant setup has formed in the same direction.
