Candle-Based Trend Reversal (Multi-Timeframe)
Description:
This indicator is designed to help traders identify potential trend reversals by analyzing candle patterns across multiple timeframes. The script uses two sets of conditions to determine bullish and bearish trends:
1. Short-Term Lookback: A shorter lookback period is used to detect initial signs of a trend reversal. The indicator checks for a specific number of bullish or bearish candles within this period. The lookback period for this set can be adjusted according to your preferences.
2. Long-Term Lookback: A longer lookback period is used to confirm the strength of the trend reversal. This additional check ensures that the trend change is significant and not just a short-term fluctuation. The lookback period for this set is also customizable to fit different trading strategies.
When both conditions are met, the script will color the candles accordingly and display a label on the chart to indicate a potential trend reversal. The colors and symbols for bullish and bearish signals are fully customizable in the settings.
How It Works:
* The script examines the closing prices of candles within the specified lookback periods.
* If the conditions for both lookback periods are met, it triggers a signal by changing the color of the candles and displaying a label.
* Once a signal is triggered, the trend (bullish or bearish) will remain active until a new opposing signal is generated.
* The lookback periods for both the short-term and long-term conditions can be modified, allowing you to tailor the indicator to different market conditions and timeframes.
* This helps traders visually identify when a trend reversal might be occurring based on recent price action.
Usage:
* This indicator is particularly effective on monthly, weekly, daily, and hourly charts.
* Simply switch the timeframe, and the indicator will do the rest.
* Look for colored candles and labels to spot potential reversal points.
* The last signal (bullish or bearish) will stay in effect until a contrary signal is given, allowing you to maintain a clear view of the prevailing trend.
* Customize the lookback periods to match your trading style and market conditions.
* This indicator is most effective when used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools.
