Three Soldiers Trading System — Momentum Continuation Pattern Detection
A sequence of three consecutive strong-bodied candles moving in the same direction — that is the Three White Soldiers (bullish) and Three Black Crows (bearish) pattern. Each candle builds upon the prior, showing progressive higher closes (soldiers) or lower closes (crows), clean bodies with minimal shadows, and consistent body sizes. This 3-bar formation signals sustained directional conviction, not a single-candle spike.Three Soldiers Trading System detects both Three White Soldiers (bullish momentum) and Three Black Crows (bearish momentum) formations on any symbol and timeframe. Each detected pattern receives automated Entry, Stop Loss, and up to 4 Take Profit levels (TP1-TP4) drawn directly on the chart. A built-in multi-timeframe scanner monitors up to 150 symbols across 8 timeframes simultaneously. MANUAL | MY CHANNEL

How Three Soldiers Pattern Detection Works
The indicator scans for a 3-candle momentum structure on each completed bar:
- Body Strength — Each of the 3 candles must have a body ratio of at least 60% of its range (strong directional conviction, not indecision)
- Progressive Closes — Each candle must close higher (soldiers) or lower (crows) than the prior candle close (consistent momentum)
- Shadow Cleanliness — Upper and lower wicks combined must not exceed 40% of the candle range (clean price action, no excessive rejection)
- Directional Consistency — All 3 candles must be the same color (bullish green or bearish red)
Three White Soldiers (bullish): 3 consecutive bullish candles with progressive higher closes. Three Black Crows (bearish): 3 consecutive bearish candles with progressive lower closes.
Entry is placed above the pattern high (buy) or below the pattern low (sell) + ATR buffer. Stop Loss covers the entire 3-candle range or uses Donchian Channel.
3-Component Quality Scoring evaluates (equal-weight factors):
- Body Strength: Average body ratio across all 3 candles (ideal 60-80%)
- Progression Consistency: How well each close builds upon the prior close (ideal tight step progression)
- Shadow Cleanliness: Lower combined shadow ratio = cleaner momentum signal
Three Soldiers-Specific Settings:
- Minimum body ratio per candle (default 0.60)
- Maximum shadow ratio per candle (default 0.40)
- Minimum progression step (how much each close must exceed prior close)
- Entry buffer (ATR multiple, default 0.05)
- SL buffer (ATR multiple, default 0.10)
Automated Trading Levels
Every detected pattern automatically draws Entry, Stop Loss, and up to 4 Take Profit levels (TP1-TP4) based on configurable Risk:Reward ratios. Price labels display pip distance and R:R ratio for each level.
Stop Loss methods:
- Donchian Channel (structure-based, adapts to volatility)
- ATR Multiplier (fixed distance based on Average True Range)
Default R:R targets: TP1=0.5R, TP2=1.0R, TP3=1.5R, TP4=2.0R (fully customizable, set to 0 to disable any level).
Live Signal Tracking
The indicator tracks each signal from detection through completion:
- Pending — waiting for entry price to be hit
- Active — entry hit, tracking toward TP or SL
- Finished — TP or SL reached
A dotted tracking path shows actual price movement after each signal. Profit/loss labels appear at hit points. Zone fill rectangles visualize risk and reward areas on the chart.
Donchian Channel Trailing Stop
An optional trailing stop system that automatically adjusts the stop loss as price moves favorably:
- Uses the Donchian Channel (lowest low / highest high over N bars)
- Activates after price reaches a configurable R:R threshold
- Locks at breakeven when TP1 is hit
- Visual color changes: orange (trailing buy), yellow (trailing sell), green (locked at breakeven)
Multi-Timeframe Scanner (150 Symbols x 8 Timeframes)
Monitor Three Soldiers and Three Black Crows patterns across the entire market from a single chart:
- Scans up to 150 symbols from your Market Watch
- Checks 8 timeframes: M1, M5, M15, M30, H1, H4, D1, W1
- Live dashboard panel shows detected signals with quality scores
- Configurable batch scanning to control CPU usage
- Independent alert system for scanner-detected signals
Two scanning modes:
- Current Symbol MTF: scans only the chart symbol across all timeframes
- Full Market Scan: scans all Market Watch symbols across selected timeframes
Market Structure Analysis (BOS / CHOCH)
Built-in Break of Structure and Change of Character detection:
- Identifies swing highs and lows using fractal analysis
- Labels swing sequences: HH (Higher High), HL (Higher Low), LH (Lower High), LL (Lower Low)
- Detects BOS (trend continuation) and CHOCH (trend reversal) events
- Configurable timeframe and sensitivity
- Visual lines and labels on chart
Multi-Layer Signal Filtering
Seven independent filters to reduce noise and increase signal quality:
- Quality Filter — Minimum quality score threshold to pass
- Extreme Zone Filter — Block signals near overbought/oversold zones using Donchian Channel position thresholds
- Direction Filter — Only allow signals aligned with the current trend direction (auto-detects from market structure, or set manually)
- Stop Hunt Filter — Validate that signals originate from genuine liquidity sweeps of prior swing levels
- Signal Zone Filter — Require signals to form near meaningful market structure events (BOS, CHOCH, swing levels)
- Spacing Filter — Enforce minimum bars between detected patterns
- Opposite Signal Filter — Prevent conflicting buy/sell signals from appearing simultaneously
Each filter can be enabled/disabled independently.
4-Channel Alert System
Stay informed with multi-channel notifications:
- Desktop Popup Alert (MT5 Alert dialog)
- Sound Alert (customizable sound file)
- Mobile Push Notification (MT5 mobile app)
- Configurable separately for Entry hits, TP hits, and SL hits
Anti-spam: once-per-signal deduplication with configurable cooldown period.

As price moves up, TSL moves up with it. When price stalls or reverses, TSL holds the best position it reached. | |||
