Reversal Entry Zones
A local high isn't a top. It only becomes a reversal once price moves far enough away to prove it.
Most tools draw a pivot the instant it forms. This one waits for the reversal to earn it.
Free & open-source · Works on any market and timeframe · Reversals confirmed after the threshold is met · An educational structural-analysis tool — not a signal service, not financial advice, and no performance guarantee.
An open-source reversal-structure framework: it tracks running swing highs and lows, confirms a pivot only after price reverses by an adaptive threshold, classifies it as a bullish or bearish reversal, and maps it into layered core / outer zones with reversal lines, optional projected zones, a synthetic path and a status panel.
Every structural tool loves to label tops and bottoms — and most of them do it the moment a local high or low appears. The trouble is that a temporary pause and a genuine reversal look identical in real time, so your chart fills with 'reversal' marks that were really just a candle catching its breath. A local high is not automatically a top. A local low is not automatically a bottom. Treating them as if they were is exactly why so much structure on a raw chart turns out to be noise.
Reversal Entry Zones is built around one disciplined rule: confirm the pivot only after price has moved far enough the other way to prove it. It tracks the running swing extreme — from raw highs/lows or a smoothed average stream — and waits. Only when price reverses by an adaptive threshold (the larger of an ATR multiple, a percentage of price, and a hard minimum) does it lock in the prior extreme as a real reversal, classify it bullish or bearish, and map it into layered structure: a core zone, an outer zone, a reversal line extended forward for later reaction, optional projected zones, and a synthetic path connecting one confirmed reversal to the next.
A compact status panel keeps the latest signal, its price, bars since, what the engine is currently tracking, and your sensitivity and source mode in one place. It's a structural visualization and review tool — open-source, so you can read every rule — not an automated system, not a prediction of the next turn, and no promise of results. A sharper, more selective way to see where the market has actually reversed.
- Mark reversals that are confirmed, not every local high and low
- Let an adaptive ATR + percentage + absolute threshold decide what qualifies
- Read each turn as a layered core / outer zone, not a single line
- Follow the sequence of reversals with the optional synthetic path
- Tune selectivity with Low / Very Low presets and Average vs High/Low source
- Free & open-source — inspect and adapt every rule yourself
Traders who want confirmed reversal zones, not a pivot marker that tags every local high and low
7 components, one output
Running swing engine
Continuously tracks the active swing high or low and only releases it once price reverses far enough — the mechanism that separates this from a simple pivot marker.
Adaptive reversal threshold
Confirms a reversal using the maximum of an ATR multiple, a percentage of price and a hard absolute minimum, so it adapts to volatility instead of using a fixed distance.
Average or High/Low source
Run the engine on raw candle highs/lows for reactivity, or on EMA-smoothed streams for cleaner structure — plus optional extra confirmation bars.
Bullish / bearish classification
A confirmed low pivot becomes a bullish reversal, a confirmed high pivot a bearish one, each stored with its price and bar for the panel and path.
Layered core / outer zones
Every confirmed reversal is drawn as a volatility-scaled core box inside a wider outer box, with a glow line and a main reversal line extended forward.
Projected zones & synthetic path
Optional forward-projected zones track later interaction with the level, and a synthetic path connects confirmed reversals into a readable sequence.
Status panel & alerts
Summarises last signal, signal price, bars since, what the engine is tracking, sensitivity and source — with alerts for confirmed bullish and bearish reversal zones.
From a blank chart to a read
- Add Reversal Entry Zones to a standard candlestick chart and start with the defaults.
- Choose your source mode — Average for smoother structure or High/Low for a more reactive read.
- Set the ATR length and minimum absolute reversal so the threshold fits the instrument.
- Pick a sensitivity preset (Low is more active, Very Low is more selective).
- Decide which layers to show — reversal labels, projected zones, synthetic path — for a cleaner or richer chart.
- Watch for newly confirmed bullish or bearish reversal zones, and use the lines and zones to study how price reacts.
- Treat the output as structural context and decision support — combine it with your own framework and risk management.
