Overview
Tri-Star - Bearish verifies trend context using simple moving averages (SMA 50 or SMA 200) or allows trend filtering to be disabled. When detected, the script plots a label above the pattern candle and highlights the three-candle sequence with background shading. Traders can customize the trend detection rule and label color, as well as trigger alerts when the pattern appears.
The inputs you can change from the gear icon on the chart. Defaults are the author's.
