Failed 2s - The Strat

Description:
This indicator detects and highlights "Failed 2" candlestick patterns from The Strat methodology — key price action setups signaling potential reversals or continuation points. It automatically identifies Failed 2 Down (Failed 2D) and Failed 2 Up (Failed 2U) signals by analyzing two consecutive bars, with special attention to price interaction at the 50% midpoint of the previous candle.
Visuals:
- Green upward triangles mark Failed 2 Down signals (bullish setups).
- Red downward triangles mark Failed 2 Up signals (bearish setups).
- Special signals that touch the 50% midpoint of the previous candle are emphasized but use the same shapes.
Alerts:
Built-in alert conditions let you receive notifications when these patterns occur, so you never miss a trade opportunity.
