How the Three Bar Reversal Indicator Works
The indicator identifies structured three-candle formations that signal potential changes in market direction:
Bullish Reversal Pattern
- Occurs after a downtrend
- A candle forms a lower low but closes above the previous candle’s close
- Often appears near support or exhaustion zones
Bearish Reversal Pattern
- Appears after an uptrend
- A candle forms a higher high but closes below the previous candle’s close
- Commonly forms near resistance or distribution zones
Each pattern is clearly marked on the chart:
- Blue Bars – Bullish reversal signals
- Brown Bars – Bearish reversal signals
- Optional arrows and support/resistance (SR) dots for additional confirmation
Trading Signals and Confirmation Filters
To improve accuracy and reduce false signals, the indicator integrates multiple filters:
- Trend Alignment – Trade only in the direction of a moving average or Supertrend
- Support & Resistance Confirmation – Identify reversals at key structural levels
- Arrow Markers – Provide visual confirmation of entry opportunities
- SR Dots – Highlight strength of the reversal zone
This makes the tool especially powerful for:
- Entering pullbacks in trending markets
- Fading exhausted price moves
- Timing entries around major support or resistance levels
- Scalping short-term market tops and bottoms
