Reversal Algo combined with ATR Trend/Top/Bottom
This reversal and trend strategy will help traders to learn about the concept of looking for confluence and to confirm signals with other indicators to increase the edge.
We are going to update this strategy! Because we did a major change in the Reversal Algo! Stay tuned!
Strategy Idea
This strategy is about identifying both trend shifts and trend continuations setups. It all depends on where the signals occur. It can be hard to identify these kinds of setups especially if Buy/Sell indicators are used in the wrong way. That is why we came up with this simple strategy that filters out some signals for you.
Before using any Buy/Sell signal indicator we recommend you have a basic understanding of Support/Resistance.
If you don’t understand these rules, you should look for another strategy!
Rule number #1
- Do only look for setups during relatively high volatility. There is no point in trying to catch a signal during a low volatile market. Better to wait for volume and volatility to come into play! The signals become way more accurate during these market states.
Rule number #2
- Make sure that you don’t take any Short trades right at a support level and don’t take any Long trades right at a resistance level. Doomed to lose in the long run.
Price moves
The market flow up and down where some price moves are significant while others are minor corrections/price pauses.
The price moves happen within the current market structure. The market structure can either be derived from the timeframe applied on the chart or from a higher timeframe. The higher the timeframe the more reliable is the market structure. That is why we only should take trades based on a higher timeframe structure. (We recommend using the 1-hour chart, or above)
To be able to trade successfully you need to understand that most of the signals should not be traded. A good trader is patient and analyzes the market hours before entering a trade. Get a feel of the current market structure and take entries/exits based upon that, using indicators to confirm their analysis/trade idea.
While new traders jump in and out on every signal and end up blowing their accounts. So please take our advice here, be patient, analyze the market in higher timeframes, and do only use indicators to confirm that analysis.

The only problem!
Yes, there is a big “problem” for traders that have limited knowledge about support/resistance and general about how to read the market.
We’re telling the truth here.
If you blindly follow any of these signals that pop on your chart you will most likely lose. You have to take your trades based on the current market structure. Or do you wanna get trapped in a short trade within a strong bullish trend?
So if we blindly rely on what an indicator says, you probably gonna lose in the long run. You need to get the full picture and analyzing the higher timeframes to understand in which phase the market is in.
