Professional Matching Low (2-bar bullish reversal) detector with 5-factor quality scoring, 3 SL methods, pending buy stop entry, MTF scanner 150x8, market structure BOS/CHOCH, and 4-channel alerts.
Matching Low Trading System automatically detects the Matching Low candlestick pattern — a precise 2-bar bullish reversal signal that forms when two consecutive bearish candles close at virtually the same price level. The matching closes create a natural double-bottom support floor: sellers pushed price down twice, and both times they failed to close below the same level. That repeated failure signals exhausted selling pressure and an impending bullish reversal.
Introductory Pricing: This indicator is offered at introductory pricing that increases based on sales milestones. The current price is $49. After 10 sales, the price increases to $59. After 30 sales, it increases to $69. After 60 sales, the final price of $79 takes effect. All buyers receive the same full-featured indicator regardless of purchase price.
A. Introduction & Pattern Overview
The Matching Low is a bullish-only pattern — every signal generated is a long (buy) opportunity. There is no bearish variant. The pattern's power lies in its simplicity: two candles, two matching lows, one clear message — support is holding and buyers are taking over.
Pattern Structure:
- Candle 1 — A bearish candle that pushes the market lower, establishing the support close level
- Candle 2 — A second bearish candle that attempts to push lower but closes at (or very near) the same level as Candle 1
When both closes align within a tight tolerance (measured as a fraction of ATR), the pattern is confirmed. A pending buy stop order is then placed above the high of Candle 2, ensuring entry only when price actually reverses upward — no premature entries on still-declining price.

C. Quality Scoring — 5-Factor Engine
Every detected pattern receives a quality score from 0.00 to 1.00 based on five weighted factors:
| Factor | Weight | What It Measures |
|---|---|---|
| Close Match | 25% | Precision of the two matching closes — tighter = higher score |
| Candle Body Size | 22% | Body strength of both candles relative to ATR |
| Lower Shadow Score | 20% | Smallness of lower wicks — confirms sellers did not push through the level |
| Relative Body | 18% | Body-to-range ratio — high ratio means cleaner, more decisive candles |
| Overlap Ratio | 15% | How much the two candles overlap in range — tight overlap = well-formed pattern |
Detection Preset System:
- Standard — Relaxed thresholds, balanced signal frequency (~5% detection rate). Recommended starting point.
- Strict — Original spec thresholds, fewer but higher-confidence signals (~1% detection rate)
- Custom — Full manual control over all 5 detection parameters
Quality threshold default: 0.30 (relaxed). Raise to 0.50–0.70 for higher selectivity.
D. Filter Chain & Safety Features
A 7-layer filter chain protects against low-quality and contextually inappropriate signals:
- Quality Filter — Rejects patterns below the minimum quality score
- Extreme Zone Filter — Blocks buy signals when price is already in an overbought zone (Donchian-based channel position)
- Direction Filter — Respects market structure regime; can block signals against the prevailing trend
- Stoploss Hunt Filter — Validates that the pattern follows a genuine liquidity sweep rather than random noise
- Signal Zone Filter — Confirms signal appears near a structurally significant swing or BOS/CHOCH event
- Spacing Filter — Enforces minimum bar gap between consecutive signals to prevent clustering
- Opposite Signal Filter — Soft-blocks new signals when a conflicting active signal is already open
E. How to Use — Quick Start
- Attach the indicator to any chart (recommended: XAUUSD H1 for first use)
- Click OK to use default settings
- The indicator scans historical bars and plots any recent MLW signals with entry, SL, and TP lines
- Wait for a new signal — a green arrow and quality label appear when a pattern is confirmed
- The pending buy stop entry line shows where price must reach to activate the trade
- Use the MTF Scanner to monitor the same pattern across multiple symbols and timeframes
- Enable push or email alerts in the Alerts section to receive signals away from your desk
Recommended workflow:
- Start with Standard preset + Min Quality 0.30
- After one week, review signal history and raise quality threshold if signal frequency is too high
- Enable the Extreme Zone Filter to avoid buying into already-extended moves
- Use Strict preset on H4/D1 for swing trading — fewer signals, higher conviction

| User Guide : Signal Types, States, and Lifecycle | A signal is the system's notification when it detects a qualifying candlestick pattern on the chart. Each signal tells you the expected price direction and provides suggested entry, stop loss, and take profit levels. | |||
| 5 | SIGNAL FILTERS | Filters that refine and validate trading signals | ||

| User Guide: Trailing Stop Loss (TSL) User Guide | Regular Stop Loss (SL) stays fixed in one place. You set SL at 1990.00, and it stays there forever — even if price has risen to 2030.00.Trailing Stop Loss (TSL) is different. It automatically moves in your favor when price advances. As price moves up, TSL moves up with it. When price stalls or reverses, TSL holds the best position it reached. | |||
