@ bergenrain, Not sure I see the same pattern you see. It would help if you wrote out the elements like these samples.
Three White Soldiers pattern consists of three consecutive long-bodied candlesticks that open within the previous candle's real body and a close that exceeds the previous candle's high. These candlesticks should not have very long shadows and ideally open within the real body of the preceding candle in the pattern. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/three_white_soldiers.asp
The three stars in the south candlestick pattern is a very rare pattern that doesn't typically precede large price moves. This pattern is formed by three black or red (down) candles of decreasing size following a price decline. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/three-stars-south.asp
Thank you for your advice. I do not use Three White Soldiers and volume breakout, rather it is a classic 1-2-3 pattern for trend trading. Attached are the patterns on today's ES chart. Entry after the signal at the beginning of the next bar. I use ninza-renko and EMA (14) as a filter. The stronger the trend, the more likely it is to break out. An example of a strategy based on one of the patterns in the attachment. The backtest for 2021 shows 38% at RR 1:2 and 53,5% at RR 1:1. I would like to improve this result by using some good strong trend filter and that was my question.

@Bergenraun, Many systems are trying to use amaDivergenceStops from Lizard Indicators. Do not think there is a version on Futures.io but there might be. Basically people go long when the three standard deviations signal a new trend. Close the trade if it comes back hru the first signal level.
Would like to know where you got the iWickPattern indicator hat might be good with the indicator below. Is it something you could Direct Message me?

@bergenrain You probably have heard of PriceActionSwing, but perhas take a look at its ABC highlight that also seems similar to what you arelookig to see.
And I also like CongestionBoxLite that highlights these rectangles.

@cdnftrstdr, yes SB is awesome for noncoders. As a beginner U will likely use single sections to putin buy and sell reasons. But later U will realize that groups allow U to name them so you can add and subtract them understanding why U created them based on the group name.
Wish there was a way to make if All a standard in the group settings but for now remember to set it.
AND MOST IMPORTANT - please share your attempts so others can help and learn.

NT8 uses Strategy Builder and so any old strategies would need to be converted.
I built this very basic core strategy framework to be able to test whether NT8 could use an indictor as is or if additional changes need to be made in the base strategy. For instance NT8 still cannot see "Double" elements even if exposed so the plots need to be "INT'."
Some strategies have bools or +1 / -1 elements to signal longs or shorts. Using this testing strategy you can see if the information is exposed for NT8 Strategy Builder. Good Trading All !!!

This is an example of an indicator that has the information Strategy Builder could act on but it is not yet exposed. This builds a channel and colors the background based on trend calculation. Within the code is a bool that does true for long, false for short. It also has a possible plot of 1 or -1 but they are not exposed to be available for Strategy Builder to act on.
So for @Abusamjad91, I am providing a basic strategy that shows the plot, confirms if the current price (close) is within the plot range. But without the trend information it does not know whether it is a long or a short trend.
@TraderGB, perhaps you can take a look and see if the trend can be exposed. It would be for indicator GBAvgHiLoPivot THanks!
Unfortunately for some reason this is not allowing me to zip it so here is the CS file.
Oops, it will not let me upload the file either based on Futures.io new security system. I tried the one to the left and I tried the advanced manage attachments and they both block it. It does not appear to be doing a security scan, just going right away to it is not allowed.
There's been no change in the system for a long time.
Please try it again, and if it doesn't succeed, can you tell me exactly what happens (any messages, etc.), and anything that is different from the last time you did an attachment, which was apparently a half hour before this one.
Details are important, so please note anything at all. If there is a repeatable issue, it will need to go to Mike for resolution.
