01

What it does

Reversal Signal Indicator is for spotting swing-style turning points, then checking whether the setup confirms while it is still fresh.

Detect

Watch pivot areas

The indicator tracks recent swing highs and lows using the selected pivot and lookback settings.

Confirm

Wait for price to prove it

The signal needs to confirm inside your configured window, so old pivots do not stay active forever.

Plan

Draw the setup

Draw an arrow first, then optionally draw a NinjaTrader RiskReward tool from your configured template.

02

Core actions

The workflow is simple: wait for the confirmed reversal, set the order where the signal says the pullback should matter, then skip it if price leaves without you.

Signal discipline

The arrow is a trade location, not a chase signal

The signal is meant to define an entry area for a limit order. That matters: if the market reaches the target area before your order fills, the setup is already gone.

Entry point Stop range Target level Sound alert
01 / Confirm

Wait for the reversal mark

Let the pivot and confirmation settings decide whether the turning point is fresh enough to review.

02 / Place

Use a limit order at the signal area

The product logic is built around letting price pull back to the entry instead of forcing a late market order.

03 / Manage

Read stop and target before entry

The RiskReward drawing gives the estimated stop and target structure while the trade is still only a decision.

04 / Skip

Cancel if the market leaves without you

If price runs to the target area before the order triggers, the cleaner trade is usually the next confirmed setup.

03

Set up the signal workflow

Choose the chart rules before the session, then let the indicator handle the repetitive signal and planning marks.

Chart setup

Start with the rules you want the chart to respect

Set the recent signal history, pivot behavior, confirmation window, direction filter, and RiskReward template before you begin watching the market.

01Choose how sensitive the reversal marks should be for the market you trade.
02Decide whether alerts and RiskReward drawings should appear with each valid signal.
03Use the guide when you need the exact NinjaTrader setup steps.
Long

Buy-side reversal mark

Use the long signal as a possible turning area after the pivot confirms.

Short

Sell-side reversal mark

Use the short signal as the start of the plan, then check whether price still offers a clean entry.

Filter

Direction control

Show every signal, use the trend filter, or focus on counter-trend reversal ideas.

Plan

RiskReward drawing

Draw the planned entry, stop, and target from your saved NinjaTrader template.

04

How traders use it

Use Reversal Signal Indicator as a chart-side setup scanner. It does not replace trade judgment or order execution.

Session flow

Reversal first, decision second

The indicator marks the area. You still choose whether the setup fits the market, session, nearby levels, and your risk plan.

Step 1

Load

Add Reversal Signal Indicator to a NinjaTrader 8 chart and choose how much recent history to mark.

Step 2

Tune

Set pivot density, pivot confirmation, and the signal confirmation period for the market you trade.

Step 3

Watch

When the setup confirms, the indicator draws the arrow and can play your selected alert sound.

Step 4

Plan

Use the optional RiskReward drawing to see entry, stop, and target structure directly on the chart.

05

From reversal signal to trade plan

Each block pairs the decision with the chart view: signal first, pullback second, order plan third.

Signal sequence

Spot the turn before planning the order

The signal marks the possible reversal area. Treat it as the place to review the setup, not a reason to chase price after it has already moved.

Entry timing

Let price come back to the level

Wait for the confirmed mark, place the order at the planned pullback area, and let the market come to you.

Order plan

Use the mark to keep the entry specific

The workflow is intentionally plain: signal, limit order, risk view, decision. If price runs away first, leave the setup alone.

Risk view

Check stop and target before entry

The RiskReward drawing keeps the estimated stop and target visible, so the signal is easier to judge before the order is placed.

Pair signals with deeper review

Reversal Signal Indicator helps you find and plan the setup. Trade Analyzer helps you study what happens after the setup.

Review workflow

Use Reversal for entries, then study target behavior

If you are refining a reversal playbook, use Reversal Signal Indicator during the session and Trade Analyzer when you want to compare reward multiples across a batch of trades.

08

Best use cases

Built for discretionary traders who want reversal areas and risk structure marked faster, without turning the chart into a wall of signals.

  • Intraday reversal review

    Use the signal when you are watching for short-term tops, bottoms, pullback turns, or exhaustion areas.

  • Trend-continuation pullbacks

    Set the direction mode to follow the trend when you want reversals that resume the broader move.

  • Counter-trend entries

    Use against-trend mode when your strategy is built around fading extended moves with confirmation.

  • Risk/reward planning

    Use the template-based RiskReward drawing when you want the stop and target structure visible right after the signal.

09

Why this indicator

Reversal Signal Indicator is more useful than a raw arrow tool because confirmation, direction mode, and RiskReward drawing keep the setup tied to a trading plan.

01

The signal is based on pivot behavior and confirmation, not simple candle color.

02

The trend mode lets you decide whether the chart should show trend-side or counter-trend ideas.

03

The RiskReward drawing turns the signal into a planned setup instead of leaving you with a plain arrow.

    Indicator has been solid for me so far. I’ve tested it on a few timeframes, and the 10 minute setup has given me the best results, especially on Gold and NQ. What I like most is that I can start with the trial option instead of paying everything upfront.

    been searching for a reliable way to know when the market was reversing and that’s exactly what this indicator delivers. It not only identifies the reversal, it also marks the exact entry point, stop‑loss, and targets. I don’t need anything else just place the order where it tells me. Great indicator and idea

    Good indicator if you stop expecting it to trade for you.

    been trading for a while and I’ll admit this indicator annoyed me at first because I didn’t understand why it wasn’t firing where I thought the reversal was. I kept thinking it was late or skipping good spots. After watching it for a couple weeks I realized it’s actually more picky than I am, which is probably a good thing. It waits for confirmation instead of guessing. Some days it barely prints anything and that messes with your head, but when it does show up it usually lines up with structure. I still ignore plenty of signals, but now I also catch ones I would’ve missed before. Not perfect, but definitely useful.

    Reversal arrow + RR ADV ruler = fastest trade planning workflow I’ve ever had + Works well when stacked with EMA8/EMA34 cross strat

    Cleanest pivot arrows I’ve used, caught two perfect NQ reversals before coffee.

    Good concept but I’m still figuring it out. Thank you.

    It works. It’s fast. I made money.
    That’s it

    5 trades this morning, 3 winners, 1 BE, 1 loss.
    Arrows were on point.
    Stop/target auto plotting = chef’s kiss.
    Only gripe: I wish the arrow color could flash when the pivot is first detected (just a personal preference).

    Caught reversals I usually MISS… crazy good!!
    I’ve been trading NQ for 4 years and honestly thought I was decent at spotting micro swings… turns out I was blind . The Reversal Indicator picked up 3 clean pivot breaks today I definitely would’ve been late on.
    Loved how the risk/reward tool auto-dropped the template so I didn’t have to calculate stops on the fly-especially in fast tape.
    Definitely keeping this one.

    Still on the fence with this one, Some days it works beautifully, catching tops and bottoms with scary precision. Other days, especially in choppy sideways markets, it feels like it just keeps firing false reversals. I think this tool is best when you already have a sense of which market conditions to avoid and when to turn it on.

  11. Anthony Davis Verified owner
    4/5

    is definitely useful, but I wouldn’t call it foolproof. On strong trending days, it can print too many reversal signals that don’t play out. That said, in ranging or slower markets, it’s excellent for spotting short-term turns. I also appreciate that it doesn’t overload my charts with unnecessary data. It took me about a week of testing to figure out which settings work best for my style. Once I did, it became a reliable part of my daily workflow. If you’re patient and understand how to filter signals, it’s a solid tool.

    I love how simple it is. catches turns I usually miss

  13. Lara Wildman Verified owner

    Added a simple volume filter and Indicator “clicked.” Not every mark is gold, but the good ones are very clean… sooo clean. user-friendly, loads fast, and has kept me waiting for better pullbacks. My journal looks calmer.

    Bought for NQ, using on ES now too. Reversal Indicator holds up in both. Price felt fair for the utility tbh. Not perfect sideways noon chop still throws meh signals. But during the open is .

    Works much better then strategy i think that's mostly due to auto-traders nature. I have finally stareted to see some profits on my funded account. much appriciated for the add-ons, tools and free stuff that you offer

    I'm happy. Caught a fat reversal on crude oil yesterday and I’m still buzzing-made my week. Yeah, the delay sucks at first, but once you figure it out, it’s like having X-ray vision for trades.

  17. Amanda JH65 Verified owner

    Took me forever to get it working right-signals wouldn’t even show up til I messed with the chart settings. Now it’s pretty solid on 5-min stuff. Worth it, I guess?

  18. Michael Leng Verified owner
    5/5

    Surprisingly, this is a very lucky indicator. Plus, it has a rather interesting entry strategy (based on the retun of the price to its original point). At first, I was confused that the signal appeared a few candles later, but I adjusted a setting in the parameters that filters out such signals and shows only those that appear on the very next candle after the signal.
    This setting is called Signal Confrimation Period-I think it could be useful to someone. Overall, I had a very positive experience using this indicator.

  19. Alan Boxall Verified owner

    it’s kind of a double-edged sword. On one hand, it’s really good at spotting price corrections and reversal levels – almost too good at times! I’ve had more confidence entering trades since using it. But on the other hand, there have been a few times where the signals didn’t quite match up with what actually happened in the market, and I ended up with some bad trades. The real-time accuracy is a big plus, but you really need to pay attention to the market context too.

    It’s definitely not a ‘set it and forget it’ kind of tool – you’ll have to 100% mix it with your own analysis to make it work. But with time, it’s become a useful part of my trading toolkit."
