Alt Trading: Tom's Reversal Strategy

The Alt Trading: Tom’s Reversal Strategy indicator is a multi-layered market-structure and regime-detection tool engineered specifically for intraday futures trading. It dynamically computes hourly directional bias using higher-timeframe OHLC data, enabling traders to visually interpret bullish or bearish regime transitions with precision. The system identifies structural turning points through pivot-based swing analysis and confirms Break-of-Structure (BOS) events with strict or non-strict validation logic. Once a valid BOS occurs inside a higher-timeframe continuation window, the indicator generates long or short signals that incorporate intelligent risk modeling, including pivot-derived stop placement and customizable fixed-risk calibration. Automated risk-to-reward boxes are drawn in real time, updating tick-by-tick until either the stop or target is hit, allowing for clear visualization of trade lifecycle and expectancy. A second-order trend-continuation filter highlights specific intra-hour windows—referred to as “blue windows”—giving traders refined timing insights for potential reversals. With optional background bias shading, customizable TP/SL lines, and fully stylized BOS labels, the interface provides a clean, highly interpretable execution framework. Designed with scalpers and algorithmic traders in mind, the indicator blends structure, regime context, and real-time visualization to produce high-probability reversal setups during the most liquid hours of the trading session.
