2. How the Indicator Works
SMART REVERSAL PATTERN INDICATOR detects reversal pattern structures based on ZigZag swing points.
The indicator marks the latest reversal formation directly on the chart using trendlines, filled pattern zones, and X-A-B-C-D labels.
When a bullish reversal structure is detected, the pattern is displayed in blue.
When a bearish reversal structure is detected, the pattern is displayed in red.
The indicator can also send alerts when a new reversal pattern is detected.
