Three Bar Reversal Pattern Indicator v1.0 MT5: Spot Trend Reversals with Precision
Tired of missing those sneaky reversals right before the big move? If you’re trading EURUSD and want more precise entries and exits, the Three Bar Reversal Pattern Indicator v1.0 MT5 could be the secret sauce you're looking for. This free MT5 indicator automatically spots and marks three-bar reversal formations on your chart—so you can trade with confidence instead of guesswork.
Let’s break down why this tool deserves a spot in your trading setup…
Overview of the Three Bar Reversal Pattern Indicator
The Three Bar Reversal Pattern Indicator is designed to recognize specific candlestick patterns made up of—you guessed it—three consecutive bars that hint at a potential price reversal. These formations often appear at swing highs and lows and act as an early warning sign of market shifts.
This version is tailored specifically for EURUSD on the M5 (5-minute) timeframe, offering quick signal generation for scalpers and intraday traders. Whether you're a beginner or seasoned trader, this indicator can refine your entries and boost consistency.
Why Use Three Bar Reversal Patterns?
Because they often indicate a loss of momentum followed by a strong change in direction. If paired with confirmation tools like moving averages or RSI, these patterns can become highly reliable entry signals.
Key Features of the Indicator
- Auto-detects three-bar reversal patterns in real time
- Visual arrows and markers directly on chart for instant recognition
- Works best with EURUSD M5, but usable across other pairs

- Compatible with all major brokers supporting MetaTrader 5
- Allows for manual backtesting using visual cues
- Great for scalping, day trading, and short-term swing setups

How It Works: Pattern Logic Breakdown
So, what exactly is a three-bar reversal pattern?
Here’s a quick breakdown:
- In a bullish reversal, you’ll see:
- A bearish candle
- A smaller candle (indecision or doji)
- A bullish candle that closes above the high of candle #1
- In a bearish reversal, it flips:
- A bullish candle
- A smaller candle
- A bearish candle closing below the low of candle #1
The indicator scans for this setup and plots a buy or sell arrow right at the third bar’s close, alerting you instantly.
How to Install the Indicator on MetaTrader 5
Follow these easy-peasy steps:
- Download the indicator file from YoForex’s official website
- Open MetaTrader 5, then go to File → Open Data Folder
- Navigate to MQL5 → Indicators
- Paste the .ex5 file there
- Restart MT5 or refresh Navigator window
- Drag the indicator onto your EURUSD M5 chart
Boom. That’s it.
You can tweak alert settings, visual options, and colors to match your strategy.
Pro Tip: Use With Trend Confirmation Tools
This indicator shines brightest when paired with a trend filter—like a 50-period EMA or MACD. That way, you can:
- Only take bullish patterns in uptrends
- Only take bearish patterns in downtrends
That little tweak alone can drastically reduce false signals.
Who Should Use This?
- Scalpers who want fast-entry setups
- Intraday traders targeting small reversals
- Pattern traders who value structure over indicators
- New traders who want visual clarity on patterns
If you’re trading EURUSD on short timeframes and want more than gut feeling, this is for you.

Disclaimer
This indicator is a tool, not a holy grail. Like any pattern-based system, it’s prone to false signals in choppy markets.
Always:
- Use demo accounts first
- Combine with risk management rules
- Avoid trading during high-impact news events (e.g. NFP, CPI)
Past performance ≠ future results.
Trade smart, not blind.
