Equilibrium Candles Pattern Strategy

Strategy using equilibrium candles to detect short trends and enter on pullbacks. The equilibrium is the midpoint between the highest and lowest prices over a lookback window. After a bullish or bearish streak, a move back through the equilibrium triggers an entry. ATR is used for optional stop/target and to exit on unusually large candles.

Details

  • Entry Criteria:
    • Long: After bullish trend when price crosses below equilibrium.
    • Short: After bearish trend when price crosses above equilibrium.
  • Long/Short: Both
  • Stops: ATR-based stop loss and take profit (optional)
  • Default Values:
    • EquilibriumLength = 9
    • CandlesForTrend = 7
    • MaxPullbackCandles = 2
    • AtrPeriod = 14
    • StopMultiplier = 2
    • UseTpSl = true
    • UseBigCandleExit = true
    • BigCandleMultiplier = 1
    • UseReverse = false
    • CandleType = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5).TimeFrame()
