Bullish Reversal Strategy

Strategy that searches for classic bullish reversal candlestick formations. When any of these patterns appears below a 50-period simple moving average the strategy opens a long position. An optional trailing stop protects open profits.

Patterns

  • Abandoned Baby – two consecutive bearish candles followed by a bullish candle that closes above the first candle's open while the second candle gaps lower.
  • Morning Doji Star – a bearish candle, a doji or small-bodied candle, then a bullish candle closing back into the first candle's body.
  • Three Inside Up – a bearish candle, a smaller bullish candle within its range, then a bullish candle closing above the first candle's open.
  • Three Outside Up – a bearish candle followed by a larger bullish candle engulfing it and a third bullish candle confirming the reversal.
  • Three White Soldiers – three consecutive bullish candles with rising closes.
