Candlestick Wick Alignment as a Price Pivot Signal
Summary
The indicator identifies a price pivot point using candlestick wick alignment. Its underlying observation is that when several candles form a pattern in which a single line can pass across all their wicks, price is expected to reverse. The document describes this as a general reversal expectation and says the indicator was implemented in MQL4 and published in 2016.
No precise rules are given for selecting candles, measuring wick alignment, or confirming a pivot, and the document includes no examples of performance, test methodology, or risk controls. The proposed pattern should therefore be understood as a visual technical-analysis concept rather than a fully specified or validated trading strategy. Its reliability across instruments and timeframes is not established by the material.
Key ideas

- The pattern is presented as a potential sign of price reversal.
- The document does not specify formal detection rules or confirmation conditions.
- No performance tests or risk-management guidance are provided.
