Nemo Shadow Trap Reversal Exhaustion Wick Arrows

Shadow Trap Reversal — reversal arrows from exhaustion wicks and false breaks

Most reversals leave the same fingerprint: the crowd pushes one last time, gets trapped, and price snaps back. Shadow Trap Reversal finds that fingerprint automatically and drops a clean arrow on your chart — no repainting on closed bars, no clutter.

▶ TWO PROVEN SIGNALS IN ONE TOOL

• Exhaustion Wick — after a directional run of several candles, a bar rejects the trend with a wick longer than half its body and closes the opposite way. Classic sign the move is spent.
• False Break Trap — price pierces the prior candle's high or low but closes back beyond the midpoint, trapping breakout traders and fuelling the reversal.

▶ WHAT YOU GET

• Lime up-arrow for longs, red down-arrow for shorts, printed at the signal bar.
• Popup alerts the moment a signal fires on the current symbol and timeframe.
• Fully adjustable: trend lookback, minimum wick-to-body ratio, minimum body size, reward:risk.
• Works on any symbol and timeframe — forex, indices, metals, crypto, stocks.

▶ TESTED, NOT PROMISED

In a 2-year daily backtest across 17 markets (Brazilian blue-chips, gold, Bitcoin) the signal averaged a 42.5% hit rate over 510 setups with a positive aggregate return, strongest on BTCUSD, CPLE3, SANB11. These are historical study numbers — markets change and no indicator guarantees profit. Use it as a decision aid alongside your own risk management.

▶ RECOMMENDED USE

Combine with your trend and level context, size positions to a fixed risk per trade, and let the plotted stop and target discipline your exits.
