V Pattern Trend

DESCRIPTION:
The V Pattern Trend Indicator is designed to identify and highlight V-shaped reversal patterns in price action. It detects both bullish and bearish V formations using a five-candle structure, helping traders recognize potential trend reversal points. The indicator filters out insignificant patterns by using customizable settings based on ATR, percentage, or points, ensuring that only meaningful V patterns are displayed.


CALCULATION METHOD
The user can choose how the minimum length of a V pattern is determined. The available options are:

• - ATR (Average True Range) – Filters V patterns based on ATR, making the detection adaptive to market volatility.
  
• - Percentage (%) – Considers V patterns where the absolute price difference between the V low and V high is greater than a user-defined percentage of the V high.
  
• - Points – Uses a fixed number of points to filter valid V patterns, making it useful for assets with consistent price ranges.
  

ATR SETTINGS

1. - ATR Length – Defines the number of periods for ATR calculation.
   
2. - ATR Multiplier – Determines the minimum V length as a multiple of ATR.
   

PERCENTAGE THRESHOLD
- Sets a minimum percentage difference between the V high and V low for a pattern to be considered valid.

POINTS THRESHOLD
- Defines the minimum price movement (in points) required for a V pattern to be considered significant.



PATTERN VISUALIZATION

• - A bullish V pattern is plotted using two upward-sloping lines, with a filled green region to highlight the formation.
  
• - A bearish V pattern is plotted using two downward-sloping lines, with a filled red region to indicate the reversal.
  
• - The indicator dynamically updates and marks only the most recent valid patterns.
  

UNDERSTANDING V PATTERNS
A V pattern is a sharp reversal formation where price moves strongly in one direction and then rapidly reverses in the opposite direction, forming a "V" shape on the chart.

BULLISH V PATTERN

• - A bullish V pattern is formed when the price makes three consecutive lower lows, followed by two consecutive higher lows.
  
• - The pattern is confirmed when the highest high of the formation is greater than the previous highs within the structure.
  
• - This pattern suggests a potential trend reversal from bearish to bullish.
  
• - The lowest point of the pattern represents the V low, which acts as a support level.

BEARISH V PATTERN

• - A bearish V pattern is detected when the price makes three consecutive higher highs, followed by two consecutive lower highs.
  
• - The pattern is confirmed when the lowest low of the formation is lower than the previous lows within the structure.
  
• - This pattern signals a possible trend reversal from bullish to bearish.
  
• - The highest point of the pattern represents the V high, which acts as a resistance level.

HOW THIS IS UNIQUE

• - Advanced Filtering Mechanism – Unlike basic reversal indicators, this tool provides customizable filtering based on ATR, percentage, or points, ensuring that only significant V patterns are displayed.
  
• - Enhanced Visual Clarity – The indicator uses color-coded fills and structured plotting to make reversal patterns easy to recognize.
  
• - Works Across Market Conditions – Adaptable to different market environments, filtering out weak or insignificant price fluctuations.
  
• - Multi-Timeframe Usability – Can be applied across different timeframes and asset classes, making it useful for both intraday and swing trading.
  

HOW TRADERS CAN USE THIS INDICATOR

• - Identify potential trend reversals early based on structured price action.
  
• - Filter out weak or insignificant reversals to focus only on strong V formations.
  
• - Use the V pattern’s highs and lows as key support and resistance zones for trade entries and exits.
  
• - Combine with other indicators like moving averages, trendlines, or momentum oscillators for confirmation.
