Reversal Signal Bars and Patterns

A Reversal Signal can be a single candlestick or a pattern that signals a trader that a possible reversal is likely setting up. Sometimes a Signal Bar can be a setup for a trade in either direction.

How to enter on a Reversal Signal

There are several ways how to enter a trade on a reversal signal. All have advantages and disadvantages and finally depend on the market context and the trader.

How to Trade – Reversal Signals

Once a Reversal Signal shows up on the chart place a stop entry buy order one tick above the bar or pattern (for bull). The closest logical stop goes below the bar or pattern – a bar/pattern stop.

Automated Trading

Price Action Reversals is compatible with BloodHound from SharkIndicators or can be used in the Market Analyzer/Strategy Builder of NinjaTrader. You can call it as well from your own NinjaTrader indicators or strategies.
Please refer to the Plots at the end of the page.

Can I simply trade every Reversal Signal?

This largely depends on context, trading style and stop loss (e.g. using a wider stop, than a bar stop), also on your ability to scale in. Please check out this separate post about Reversals.  Also check out the Blog for more examples on how to use Reversal Signal Bars in your trading.

Confluence is very important in trading and means to have several (at least two) reasons to take a trade. Your 1st reason is the reversal signal bar/pattern and your 2nd reason can be e.g. support at HOY/LOY/COY, measured moves, trend lines / trend channel line overshoots, Buying/Selling Pressure, Tick Failure Breakouts, Breakout Tests, a 2nd attempt to reverse and many more.

What are the Settings?

If you trade the MES, load the indicator on the ES chart (the volume is much larger) and take the trades on the MES with the price from the ES contract. MES over/undershoots.
