Dark Cloud Cover Reversal Signals and Price-Based Exits

Summary

The script encodes a bearish two-candle pattern associated with a possible reversal after an advance. It identifies a bullish first candle, followed by a candle that opens above the prior high and closes below the midpoint of the first candle's body while remaining above its open. When the pattern is detected, the strategy takes a short position by default; an option can instead reverse the signal into a long position.

The script exposes take-profit and stop-loss inputs in pips and uses the detected close as a reference price in its position logic. Its description characterizes the code as educational and mentions that it changes bar colors. No backtest results, market or timeframe guidance, or evidence of profitability are supplied. The pattern definition alone does not establish that a reversal will follow, and the document does not explain how the pip settings should be adapted across instruments or how execution costs affect results.

Key ideas

• The pattern uses a bullish candle followed by a candle that opens above its high and closes below its body midpoint.
• The default signal is short, with an option to reverse the direction.
• The script exposes take-profit and stop-loss distances measured in pips.
• The document presents no performance evidence or guidance for adapting settings across instruments.
