TriStrike Vanguard

TriStrike Vanguard — Professional Three Line Strike Reversal Detector for MT5

Most reversal indicators flood your chart with false signals. TriStrike Vanguard was built to do the opposite: find the rare, high-conviction Three Line Strike formation — a proven four-candle reversal pattern institutional traders watch for — and confirm it through multiple layers of validation before it ever alerts you.

What is the Three Line Strike pattern?
It's a four-candle reversal setup: three consecutive candles moving in one direction, followed by a fourth candle that fully engulfs all three in a single powerful move. This "strike" candle signals that the prevailing short-term momentum has been overwhelmed and a reversal is underway. It's a rare pattern — which is exactly why it's valuable when it appears with confirmation behind it.

Core Detection Engine
TriStrike Vanguard scans every closed candle on your chart in real time, identifying both bullish strikes (three falling candles reversed by one strong bullish candle) and bearish strikes (three rising candles reversed by one strong bearish candle). Detection only triggers on fully closed bars — never on the still-forming candle — so you never get a signal that repaints or disappears.

Smart Filtering Layer (this is what separates it from free scripts)
Raw pattern-matching alone produces noise. TriStrike Vanguard adds four independent filters you can tune or disable individually:

• Body Quality Filter — rejects strike candles with weak, indecisive bodies relative to their range
• ATR Volatility Filter — requires the pattern to represent genuine market movement, not noise inside a tight range
• Volume Confirmation Filter — requires the strike candle to show rising participation, not a low-volume fakeout
• Trend Alignment Filter — an EMA-based check that only allows bullish strikes with bullish structural context (and vice versa), so you're not fighting the larger trend

Multi-Timeframe Confirmation
This is the feature that turns a pattern-spotter into a decision-support tool. Before confirming any signal on your working timeframe, TriStrike Vanguard checks a higher timeframe of your choice (H4 by default, fully configurable) and verifies that the higher-timeframe bias agrees with the signal direction. A bullish strike on M15 means far more when H4 is already leaning bullish — and this indicator checks that for you automatically, live, on every bar.

Professional On-Chart Dashboard
No more digging through the terminal log to see what happened. A clean, dark-themed dashboard panel sits in the corner of your chart showing: current symbol and timeframe, live bullish and bearish signal counts, the most recent signal with timestamp and color-coded direction, the current multi-timeframe bias, and which filters are currently active. Fully repositionable to any chart corner.

Complete Alert System
Every confirmed signal can trigger any combination of: popup terminal alert, mobile push notification, email, and sound alert — so you're notified the moment a pattern completes, whether you're at your desk or away from it. Built-in de-duplication ensures you're alerted once per confirmed pattern, not repeatedly.

Built Right
Written in clean, object-oriented MQL5 with zero DLL dependencies — meaning it passes MetaTrader's strict automated code review, runs on any broker, any account type, and any VPS without external library concerns. Lightweight, non-repainting, and safe to run on multiple charts simultaneously.

Who this is for: Price-action and reversal traders who want a rare, high-quality signal instead of a noisy indicator — and who want the extra confirmation layers (volume, ATR, trend, multi-timeframe) done automatically instead of manually cross-checking three charts by hand.
