Reversal bars can be used to read human sentiment in the markets. A lot of our decision making can be traced to the lizard brain. It is responsible for triggering primitive survival instincts, i.e. “fight or flight” type of thinking. This type of triggering is why history has a tendency to repeat itself. Not perfectly of course, but chart patterns of the past can certainly predict what type of price movement to expect next. This is because the psychological aspect of trading remains the same year after year. Our emotional response just doesn’t change that much. We remain fearful, greedy, confident, or terrified.
The Auction Bars indicator from our premium suite identifies reversal bars and spike patterns for NinjaTrader 8. Furthermore, the Auction Bars indicator identifies higher timeframe ranges, displayed as Auction Ranges. These ranges display the current market value area of the ongoing auction. The accompanying congestion zones work as support / resistance where spike patterns and reversal bars frequently plot.
