Read it in five seconds

One dot below a bottom is a buy. One dot above a top is a sell.

Here's exactly what you'll see on your chart — one real bullish rejection and one real bearish rejection, labeled, plus how you'd actually enter: the optional 50%-retracement entry shown on both sides. No legend to memorize; the dot's position tells you the side.

Two-panel annotated teaching chart, example only — works on any symbol and timeframe. Left (BUY): the indicator's dot sits below a swing low (a bullish lower-tail rejection) and price rallies; a dashed 50%-midpoint line and two labelled entries are shown — Entry A on the 50% retracement back down to it, Entry B at the pin bar's close. Right (SELL): the dot sits above a swing high (a bearish upper-tail rejection) and price drops, with the same dashed 50%-midpoint line and the two entries. The 50% level is optional and off by default. Illustration of the tool only.

Buy side · bullish rejection

A long tail pushed down and snapped back at a swing low. The dot prints below the bar — look for longs / support holding.

Sell side · bearish rejection

A long tail pushed up and got rejected at a swing high. The dot prints above the bar — look for shorts / resistance holding.

Dot below the bar = buy side Dot above the bar = sell side Brighter dot = more decisive tail Dashed line = the pin's 50% midpoint; the vertical line = where you enter on the retracement

Why you want it marked for you

Every chart is littered with long wicks. Almost none of them matter.

You just saw the read. The hard part is doing it by eye, live, on every chart: some long tails are genuine rejections at a swing extreme, most are noise in the middle of a range — and sorting them bar by bar is where the cost adds up:

  • You miss the real ones. A decisive rejection forms while you're scanning another chart, and by the time you spot it the move has already gone.
  • You second-guess the ones you do see. Long enough tail? Right spot? Real rejection or just chop? — the same bar gets a different call depending on your mood that day.
  • Nothing travels between charts. The pin bar you'd flag on the EURUSD daily looks nothing like the one on a gold five-minute, so a fixed pixel rule breaks the moment you change symbol or timeframe.
  • It's slow, and the market doesn't wait. Eyeballing wick after wick, chart after chart, burns the attention you should be spending on the actual decision.

"You don't need another arrow that fires on every wick. You need the real rejections at the edges marked the same way, on every chart you open."

The mechanism

Long-tail rejection at a swing extreme — graded against the chart's own bars.

Pin Bar Reversal Points answers one question on every bar, in a way that travels across instruments: is this a long-tail rejection sitting at a swing high or low — and how decisive is the rejection? Because every threshold is scale-free, one setting behaves the same on any symbol and any timeframe — no per-chart tuning.

2 core settings, the rest automatic Any symbol & timeframe No per-chart tuning No repaint of confirmed bars

What it asks on every bar

A rejection bar has a long tail (wick) and a small body — price pushed one way, then snapped back. On each bar the indicator measures the tail as a fraction of the whole bar and asks two things: is this tail long enough, and is the bar sitting at a swing extreme? Only bars that pass both get a mark.

Bull (lower-tail) marks sit below the bar; bear (upper-tail) marks sit above it — so direction reads at a glance, with no legend to memorize. Each qualifying bar is then sorted into one of three mutually-exclusive grades (shown in detail just below).

What you see on the chart

Just the marks — on the bars that qualify, nothing on the bars that don't. No oscillator window, no clutter, no repaint of confirmed bars. From each pin the indicator also projects a dotted retracement line a few bars forward, drawn in that pin's own color at its 50% level — a common reference for where a pullback would return to. Set that percentage to whatever you read from, or switch the line off; and an optional 50%-retracement entry marker (green for longs, yellow for shorts) can still print if price actually retraces to the pin's midpoint within your window.

SettingDoes
Lengthlookback for swing extremes & the median-bar / range baseline (default 50)
MinTailPctminimum tail fraction to qualify as a pin (default 0.66)
RetracePercentwhere the dotted retrace line sits, as a % of the pin's range (default 50 = the midpoint)
Switches & windowshow pins · inside-bar pins · retrace line · entry markers · entries-from-inside · retrace-window length

Everything else — median bar size, a simple average true range for marker placement, the fixed tail ratios — is scale-free structure, so one configuration works on every chart.

Three grades at a glance

One marker, three grades — read by color and placement.

Every qualifying rejection bar is sorted into exactly one of three mutually-exclusive classes. The brighter the dot, the more decisive the tail; placement tells you the direction — above a bar for a top (bearish), below a bar for a bottom (bullish).

Very-long

Tail is at least 0.80 of the whole bar — the most decisive rejection. The brightest dot of the three.

Brightest grade

Long

Tail between 0.66 and 0.80 of the bar — a clear rejection, marked in a second-grade shade.

Second grade

Inside-bar pin

A long-tail rejection that is also an inside bar after an at-or-above-median mother bar — its own distinct dot.

Structure case

Swatches above are brand-token approximations of the on-chart marker colors; the exact palette is set in the indicator. Bull (lower-tail) marks sit below the bar, bear (upper-tail) marks above it.

The proof

Built like an instrument, proven before release.

Pin Bar Reversal Points isn't "whatever compiled." Every StratusQuant release must clear the Bar-for-Bar Parity Standard — a value-by-value gate where the MetaTrader 5 build is compared against an independent reference across history and required to match it bar-for-bar, including which class each bar is graded into and every entry marker, before it ships. Markers don't repaint, either — once a bar closes, its mark stays put.

The Bar-for-Bar Parity Standard

Why "proven bar-for-bar" matters

Plenty of pin-bar tools look right and grade something subtly different from what they claim — a wrong tail ratio, an off-by-one bar at the swing check, a tie that flips the class. The Bar-for-Bar Parity Standard is a value-by-value parity check against a reference: matching the reference, not just compiling cleanly, is the definition of done.

Each release is also validated across multiple symbols and timeframes before it ships, so it grades the same bars the same way wherever you load it.

What it is — and isn't

A context tool, not a signal generator.

Pin Bar Reversal Points is a visual, discretionary tool. Its whole job is to faithfully and consistently highlight the genuine long-tail rejection bars at swing extremes so you don't have to hunt for them — then hand the read back to you. It is meant to be combined with your own support and resistance levels and your own trend view.

It is not a standalone mechanical signal, it does not place or manage trades, and it makes no claim about win rates, returns, or profitability — a rejection bar marked at a swing extreme is context, not a prediction. Anyone selling a wick-marker as a money machine is selling you something else. We're selling a clean, honest, instrument-agnostic way to see the bars that matter.

The studio

Built by a studio that ports its own EasyLanguage indicators to MetaTrader 5 — and proves each one bar-for-bar.

StratusQuant is a small studio that reimplements its own price-action indicators — first written and traded in EasyLanguage — as original, idiomatic MetaTrader 5 tools. Nothing ships on look alone: every release is held to the Bar-for-Bar Parity Standard, the same value-by-value gate behind the proof above, so the MT5 build grades each bar exactly as the reference does before it ever reaches you.

That's the whole reason to trust a wick-marker from us rather than the next one: it's an engineered instrument with a documented release gate, not a wrapper around someone else's signal. We build the tools we'd want on our own charts, document them in plain English, and stand behind them through the Support Hub.

Who it's for

Built for traders who read price, not black boxes.

It does one job well, so it fits a specific kind of trader — and it's honest about who that is.

Price-action & S/R traders

You already trade rejections at support and resistance and want them flagged consistently, the same way on every chart, instead of eyeballing each wick.

Any instrument & timeframe

Forex, indices, metals, futures — minute charts or daily. Because the grading is scale-free, one configuration travels across every symbol and timeframe MT5 supports.

People who want a consistent eye

You want a clean, repeatable read handed back to you — not a signal to follow blind and not a promise. The tool marks; the decision stays yours.

Straight terms

No hype, no fake urgency, no promises we can't keep.

Pin Bar Reversal Points is a tool, sold honestly. It won't trade for you and it won't promise profits — it marks rejection bars, and what you do with that read is yours. What we promise is simple: an original, carefully-built, proven indicator, delivered instantly, with real support if a download or install issue gets in your way.

Because it's a digital product delivered immediately, all sales are final once your download is delivered, to the extent permitted by applicable law — the same terms you'll see at checkout and in our refund policy and terms. No countdown timers, no invented scarcity.

Questions

Pin Bar Reversal Points, answered.

Pin Bar Reversal Points is a native MetaTrader 5 indicator. After purchase you receive an .ex5 file that you drop into your terminal's MQL5/Indicators folder and refresh the Navigator. It does not run on MetaTrader 4.

It marks long-tail rejection bars at swing extremes — bars whose tail rejects a price level. Each one is auto-graded into one of three mutually-exclusive classes: very-long tail, long tail, and an inside-bar pin after a large mother bar, each with its own colored marker. It is a visual context tool, not a buy or sell signal.

No. Which bars qualify is set by just two inputs — Length and the minimum tail percentage. The rest are display choices with sensible defaults: the retrace-line percentage and a handful of on/off switches. Every threshold underneath is scale-free structure — the median bar size, a simple ATR, and fixed tail ratios — so the grading is relative to the chart's own bars and one configuration behaves the same on any symbol and any timeframe.

Yes. Each pin projects a dotted line forward at its 50% level, drawn in that pin's own color. The RetracePercent input sets where that line sits as a percentage of the pin's range — 50 is the midpoint, or set it to any level you read from — and a single toggle turns the line off entirely if you prefer just the dots. It is a visual aid for where price often pulls back to, not a signal or a promise.

No. Pin Bar Reversal Points is a visual, discretionary context tool that faithfully highlights genuine rejection bars to combine with your own support, resistance, and trend read. It is not a standalone mechanical signal, not advice, and carries no claim of profitability. Trading carries substantial risk of loss and you make your own decisions.

Because Pin Bar Reversal Points is a digital product delivered immediately, all sales are final once your download is delivered, to the extent permitted by applicable law. If a download or installation problem prevents you from using it, contact support and we will make it right.

Pin Bar Reversal Points is a one-time purchase with Long-Term Access and all future updates of the indicator included — no subscription and no recurring fees. You receive new builds of the tool as they are released over its supported lifecycle.
