Smoothed Moving Averages and Three-Line Strike Candlestick Signals

Summary

This overlay combines four smoothed moving averages with a three-line-strike candlestick pattern. The plotted averages use periods of 21, 50, 100, and 200; the 100-period line and trend fill can be toggled. The pattern logic identifies a bullish signal after three declining candles followed by a candle closing above the prior candle’s open, and a bearish signal after three rising candles followed by a close below the prior open. The source associates bullish patterns with short entries and bearish patterns with long entries, so the implemented trade direction is counterintuitive relative to the signal names.

The description says the display can help assess momentum, but supplies no detailed trading rationale, exit or risk rules, or performance results. Although a backtest configuration is included for BTC/USDT futures on a four-hour interval, the source is declared as an indicator study while also containing strategy-entry calls. The document therefore gives limited evidence about how the signals should be traded or evaluated.

Key ideas

• The overlay plots smoothed moving averages with periods of 21, 50, 100, and 200.
• The 100-period average and trend fill have display toggles.
• A three-line-strike signal follows three candles in one direction and a final candle crossing a prior candle’s open.
• The source maps bullish patterns to short entries and bearish patterns to long entries.
• No exit rules or performance findings are described.
