Stop eyeballing every wick. See every genuine rejection the moment it forms.

Pin Bar Reversal Points marks the long-tail rejection (pin) bars at swing extremes on any chart — auto-graded into three clear classes, with bull marks below the bar and bear marks above. One clean, consistent read you take alongside your own support, resistance, and trend.

Two-panel annotated EURUSD M15 chart: a labeled BUY at a blue dot below a swing low (bullish lower-tail rejection) and a labeled SELL at a red dot above a swing high (bearish upper-tail rejection), with the 50%-retracement entry shown on the buy.

The problem

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

Some long tails are genuine rejections at a swing extreme. Most are noise in the middle of a range. Eyeballing which is which, bar by bar, across symbols and timeframes, is slow and inconsistent — and the pin bar you flag on the EURUSD daily looks nothing like the one you'd flag on a gold five-minute, so a fixed pixel rule never travels.

"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."

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 on the buy. No legend to memorize; the dot's position tells you the side.

Two-panel annotated EURUSD M15 chart. Left: a labeled BUY at a blue dot below a swing low (bullish lower-tail rejection) that rallies, with a dashed cyan line at the pin's 50% midpoint and a vertical line where price retraces to it — the 50%-retracement entry. Right: a labeled SELL at a red dot above a swing high (bearish upper-tail rejection) that drops.

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

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

The three classes it grades

A rejection bar is the one with a long tail (wick) and a small body — price pushed one way, then snapped back. The indicator measures the tail as a fraction of the whole bar and sorts each qualifying bar at a swing extreme into one of three mutually-exclusive classes:

  • Very-long — tail is at least 0.80 of the bar. The brightest dot — blue below a bottom, red above a top.
  • Long — tail between 0.66 and 0.80. A second-grade dot in a deeper shade.
  • Inside-bar pin — a long-tail rejection that is also an inside bar after an at-or-above-median mother bar, marked with its own dot.

Bull (lower-tail) marks sit below the bar; bear (upper-tail) marks sit above it, so direction reads at a glance.

Bearish — top rejection Bearish — second grade Bullish — bottom rejection

Colors above match the dots in the screenshots below; the indicator places brighter dots on the most decisive rejections.

What you see on the chart

Just the marks — placed on the bars that qualify, nothing on the bars that don't. No oscillator window, no clutter, no repaint of confirmed bars. An optional 50%-retracement entry marker (green for longs, yellow for shorts) appears if price retraces to the pin's midpoint within your chosen window.

MinTailPctminimum tail fraction to qualify as a pin (default 0.66)
Toggles (×5)show pins · show inside-bar pins · show entries · entries from inside-bar pins · 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 a value-by-value parity gate — the MetaTrader 5 build 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.

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. StratusQuant's release gate 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.

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.

Questions

Pin Bar Reversal Points, answered.

What platform does Pin Bar Reversal Points run on?
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.
What does Pin Bar Reversal Points actually mark?
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.
Do I need to tune it for each symbol or timeframe?
No. Beyond two inputs (Length and the minimum tail percentage) and five on/off toggles, every threshold is scale-free structure — the median bar size, a simple ATR, and fixed tail ratios. Because the grading is relative to the chart's own bars, one setting behaves the same on any symbol and any timeframe.
Is this a mechanical signal, a profit guarantee, or advice?
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.
What is the refund policy?
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.
