Wiseman Candlestick Signal for Possible Trend Changes
Summary
Wiseman is described as a candlestick indicator intended to flag bars associated with a possible trend-direction change. A green signal occurs when the current high exceeds the previous high while the close finishes below the midpoint of the current candle’s range. A pink signal occurs when the current low falls below the previous low and the close finishes above that candle’s midpoint. The colors correspond to bullish and bearish change indications, respectively.
The description attributes the concept to ideas from Bill Williams and cautions that the indicator should be used as a signal within a trend strategy, not traded on its own. It offers no backtest, market-specific guidance, or performance evidence, so the stated candle patterns should be treated as candidate signals rather than proof of a reversal. Their practical value would depend on context, parameterization, and independent testing.
Key ideas
- A green bar marks a higher high paired with a close below the candle midpoint.
- A pink bar marks a lower low paired with a close above the candle midpoint.
- The colors represent bullish and bearish trend-change indications, respectively.
- The description recommends treating the indicator as a signal within a broader trend strategy.
- No performance evidence is supplied.
