Reversal Wick Zones
Non-repainting reversal zones built from confirmed Engulfing candles.
Reversal Wick Zones is a clean, lightweight MT5 indicator that highlights potential reaction areas on your chart, based on Engulfing candlestick patterns that occur at market swing (turning) points.
How it works
- The indicator scans price for swing highs and swing lows — the turning points in price.
- Around each swing point, it looks for an Engulfing candle pair — a candle whose body fully engulfs the previous candle's body in the opposite direction.
- A zone is drawn using the wick and body of the engulfing candle:
- Supply zone: from the candle's body top to the tip of the longest wick.
- Demand zone: from the candle's body bottom to the tip of the longest wick.
- The zone box covers only the 2 pattern candles. A dashed line then projects the zone level forward so you can see where it may react again.
- The most recent zone on each side is extended live up to the current bar. Older zones are extended a fixed number of bars so the chart stays clean.
Key features
- Non-repainting — only fully closed candles are used. Nothing is calculated from the still-forming bar, so a zone never appears then silently shifts or disappears as the candle continues to print.
- Auto-removes tested zones — once price trades back through a zone, it is automatically deleted so you only ever see zones that are still fresh.
- Independent colors for Supply and Demand zones.
- Adjustable swing sensitivity, search range, number of zones shown per side, and how far zones are projected forward.
- Works on any symbol and any timeframe.
- Extremely lightweight — pure object drawing, no buffers, minimal CPU use.
Who it's for
Price-action / Smart-Money-style traders who mark supply and demand (or order-block-style) reaction zones manually, and want the swing and engulfing detection automated while keeping the chart clean.
