-
3-Line Strike Patterns (Bullish and Bearish)

How It Works
-
Pattern Detection:
-
The indicator scans the chart for the specified candlestick patterns (3-Line Strike and Engulfing).
-
It evaluates the open, high, low, and close prices of consecutive candles to identify valid patterns.
-
-
Visual Markers:
-
When a pattern is detected, the indicator draws an arrow (up or down) near the relevant candle.
-
A text label is also displayed to describe the pattern (e.g., "Bullish 3LS Reversal" or "Bearish Engulfing Continue").
-
-
Timeframe Adjustment:
-
The indicator automatically adjusts the arrow and text offsets based on the current timeframe to ensure proper placement on the chart.
-
-
Cleanup:
-
On deinitialization, the indicator removes all drawn objects (arrows and text labels) to keep the chart clean.
-
Usage
-
Trend Reversal Signals:
-
Use the 3-Line Strike patterns to identify potential trend reversals.
-
For example, a Bullish 3-Line Strike after a downtrend may signal a reversal to the upside.
-
-
Trend Continuation Signals:
-
Use the Engulfing patterns to confirm the continuation of an existing trend.
-
For example, a Bullish Engulfing pattern during an uptrend may indicate further upward movement.
-
-
Customization:
-
Adjust the input parameters (e.g., colors, offsets, text) to suit your trading style and preferences.

Limitations

Lagging Indicator:

Like all candlestick pattern-based indicators, this tool is lagging and relies on historical price data.

False Signals:

Not all patterns will result in successful trades. Use additional confirmation (e.g., support/resistance, volume) to improve accuracy.
