Retracement Bar
🔍 Retracement Bar – RB
The Retracement Bar (RB) indicator is designed to highlight potential reversal zones by identifying candles where price shows a clear rejection from the extremes. It helps traders spot moments where institutional inventory rebalancing may be occurring — often a precursor to a strong move in the opposite direction.
RB highlights bars that:
Have a relatively small real body compared to the total candle range.
Show a long wick (upper or lower) that exceeds a user-defined percentage of the candle range.
Suggest a potential rejection of price — upward or downward — based on candle structure.
When these conditions are met, a triangle symbol is plotted:
🔻 Red triangle above a candle suggests a possible short opportunity.
🔺 Green triangle below a candle suggests a possible long opportunity.
This indicator does not repaint and triggers only at candle close.
📈 Example – Long Entry
Signal: A green triangle appears below a candle (suggesting rejection of lower prices).
Steps:
Wait for the current RB candle to close.
On the next candle:
Enter long if price breaks above the high of the RB candle.
Alternatively, wait for a pullback and enter based on confirmation (e.g., bullish engulfing, hammer, trendline bounce).
Place a stop-loss just below the low of the RB candle.
Set a target:
Based on a 2:1 risk-reward ratio.
Or use the next resistance/Fibonacci level.
📉 Example – Short Entry
Signal: A red triangle appears above a candle (suggesting rejection of higher prices).
Steps:
Wait for the current RB candle to close.
On the next candle:
Enter short if price breaks below the low of the RB candle.
Or wait for confirmation (e.g., bearish engulfing, shooting star, breakdown from a level).
Place a stop-loss just above the high of the RB candle.
Set a target:
2:1 risk-reward ratio.
Or the next support/Fibonacci zone.
✅ Recommended Filters for Better Results:
Confluence with support/resistance zones.
Trend alignment or reversal context.
Additional confirmation from price action patterns or oscillators.
Volume analysis for entry strength.
