APIBridge Candlestick Reversal System

Jan 3, 2023

Strategy Premise
This strategy uses the Wick Reversal System introduced in Pivot Boss and generates signals based on Candlestick Patterns.

– Wick Reversal System
– Extreme Reversal System
– Outside Reversal System
– Doji Reversal System

Wick Reversal System:
1. For a Bullish reversal wick to exist, the close of the bar should fall within the top 35% of the overall range of the candle.
2. For a bearish reversal wick to exist, the close of the bar should fall within the bottom 35% of the overall range of the candle.

Extreme Reversal System:
1. The first bar of the pattern is about two times larger than the average size of the candles in the look-back period.
2. The body of the first bar of the pattern should encompass more than 50% of the bar’s total range, but usually not more than 85%.
3. The second bar of the pattern opposes the first. If the first bar of the pattern is bullish (C > 0), then the second bar must be bearish (C < 0). If the first bar is bearish (C < 0), then the second bar must be bullish (C > 0).

Outside Reversal System:
1. The Engulfing bar of a bullish outside reversal setup has a low that is below the prior bar’s low (L < L) and a close that is above the prior bar’s high (C > H).
2. The Engulfing bar of a bearish outside reversal setup has a high that is above the prior bar’s high (H > H) and a close that is below the prior bar’s low (C < L).
3. The Engulfing bar is usually 5 to 25 percent larger than the size of the average bar in the look-back period.

Doji Reversal System:
1. The open and close prices of the Doji should fall within 10 percent of each other, as measured by the total range of the Candlestick .
2. For a Bullish Doji , the high of the Doji Candlestick should be below the ten-period Simple Moving Average (H <SMA (10)).
3. For a Bearish Doji , the low of the Doji Candlestick should be above the ten-period Simple Moving Average (L >SMA (10)).
4. For a Bearish Doji , one of the two bars following the Doji must close beneath the low of the Doji (C < L or C < L).
5. For a Bullish Doji setup, one of the two bars following the Doji must close above the high of the Doji (C > H) or C > H)
