Volume & Momentum Reversal Detector for Sierra Chart

Advanced real-time pattern recognition system for high-probability intraday reversals

🔍 What It Does

The Volume & Momentum Reversal Detector continuously scans each bar to detect high-probability reversal patterns based on price-volume dynamics.

It combines Volume Momentum (VM) and Exhaustion Reversal (ER) logic into one adaptive engine that reacts to intraday volatility and directional pressure, helping traders anticipate turning points before they become obvious.

⚠️ Note: Works on any symbol and any timeframe as long as it’s Trades, Range, Renko, Flex Renko, or Time-Based.

The only exception is Volume-based charts. Since the logic uses price action, volume, and finished business, when every bar has the exact same volume, there’s nothing meaningful to compare—so the triggers won’t display.

📊 Detected Patterns

🔹 Volume Momentum (VM)

• Detects exhaustion or pressure-building phases where price and volume structure signal a momentum shift.
• Recognizes sequences of directional bars followed by reversal bars with increasing volume.
• Ideal for intraday reversals after strong directional moves.

🔹 Exhaustion Reversal (ER)

• Identifies exhaustion points where aggressive new highs/lows lose conviction.
• Reversal occurs on significantly lower volume
• Typically signals trapped traders or absorption zones, often preceding sharp counter-moves or session pivots.

✅ Optional “Finished Business” Filter

• Filters weak reversals and highlights true exhaustion setups.
