Source Code
The code stays on GitHub. The author has not published this script under an open licence, so ForexR does not show its code. Copy script reads the file straight from GitHub into your clipboard, so you can still try it on your own chart. Ask the author before reusing the code anywhere else.
Overview
3-Candle Time Pattern - Pro projects range boxes, supply and demand zones, midpoints, and manipulation trendlines according to configurable session hours. Entry signals are evaluated using market structure shifts, rejection wick percentages, ATR entry buffers, and volume confirmation, while displaying risk-reward targets calculated from ATR-based stops.
The inputs you can change from the gear icon on the chart. Defaults are the author's.

Third-party code. ForexR did not write, test or endorse this script, and the summary above was generated automatically from its code and README. Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints.
