Bar Count Reversal Signals with Optional Volume and Channel Filters

Summary

This strategy looks for countertrend entries after a configurable run of rising or falling closes. A run of falling closes can trigger a long entry, while rising closes can trigger a short entry. Traders can optionally require rising volume and a breach of the selected Bollinger or Keltner channel; signals are evaluated at bar close, with flags limiting repeated entries until price direction changes.

The document describes the signal rules and provides a Pine Script implementation, but gives no backtest results or evidence of profitability. Its inputs allow users to change the bar counts, volume confirmation, and channel settings. The approach may identify reversals after extended moves, but consecutive-bar counts and channel or volume filters alone do not establish that a reversal will follow. The excerpt also does not specify exit rules or broader risk controls, so those would need to be considered before practical use.

Key ideas

• A configurable sequence of falling closes can signal a long entry, and a sequence of rising closes can signal a short entry.
• Volume confirmation can require volume to rise over the corresponding price sequence.
• Optional Bollinger or Keltner channel conditions can filter signals using price excursions beyond the bands.
• Entries are triggered on confirmed bar closes, with plotting flags limiting repeated signals until price direction changes.
• The document provides strategy rules and code but no performance results or detailed exit plan.
