Nova Reversal Bands by LunqFXNova Reversal Bands identifies high-probability reversal points using adaptive dynamic bands, a built-in candle pattern filter, and a live market regime dashboard — all in one clean overlay.
Most band indicators give you too many signals. Nova Reversal Bands solves this with a two-step confirmation: price must touch the band AND form a reversal candle (pin bar or engulfing pattern) before any signal appears. The result is fewer signals, but ones that actually matter.
◈ WHAT YOU SEE ON THE CHART ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔶 Orange Upper Band — the overbought zone. When price touches it from below, the market is stretched to the upside. Look for sell signals here.
🔷 Blue Lower Band — the oversold zone. When price touches it from above, the market is stretched to the downside. Look for buy signals here.
⚪ Fair Value Line — the "true center" of price, calculated with a Hull MA + WMA blend for low lag. When price is far above = overheated. Far below = oversold.
🟡 Gold Fill (SQUEEZE) — appears when the bands compress tightly together. This means volatility is collapsing and a big move is coming soon. The direction of the breakout tells you which way to trade.
🔵 Blue label below candle = BUY signal 🟠 Orange label above candle = SELL signal
◈ WHAT DO THE STARS MEAN? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Every signal is automatically rated 1 to 5 stars based on three factors:
How deep price penetrated the band
Whether ATR is expanding (= momentum behind the move)
Whether the bands are widening (= confirming the stretch)
★ — Weak. Price barely touched the band. Skip or use small size.
★★ — Below average. Possible but not ideal.
★★★ — Good. Solid setup, worth trading.
★★★★ — Strong. All factors aligned.
★★★★★ — Maximum. High-conviction reversal setup.
Rule of thumb: only trade ★★★ and above.
◈ THE REVERSAL CANDLE FILTER ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
This is what separates Nova Reversal Bands from every other band indicator.
A signal only fires when the band touch is confirmed by a reversal candle pattern:
Pin Bar — a candle with a long wick (>50% of the candle range) rejecting the band level. This tells you: price tried to go further, failed, and snapped back.
Engulfing — the current candle completely swallows the previous one in the opposite direction. Strong momentum flip.
If neither pattern is present at the band touch, no signal appears — no matter how far price has stretched. This filters out roughly half of false entries.
You can turn this filter OFF in settings if you prefer to see all band touches.
◈ HOW TO TRADE — STRATEGY 1: REVERSAL ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. Wait for price to reach the Upper or Lower Band
2. Wait for a ★★★+ signal label to appear
3. Enter in the direction of the signal on the next candle open
4. Stop loss: just beyond the band level
5. Target: Fair Value line (center) or opposite band
Best used on: ranging markets, after a clear swing into the band
◈ HOW TO TRADE — STRATEGY 2: SQUEEZE BREAKOUT ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. Watch for the SQUEEZE label (gold box between the bands)
2. Wait — do not enter yet. Price is coiling.
3. The moment a candle closes outside either band, that is your entry direction
4. Stop: back inside the bands
5. Target: measure the width of the bands before compression, project that distance from breakout point
This setup catches the highest-velocity moves. The SQUEEZE appears right before large news events, session opens, and trend initiation phases.
◈ BAND TOUCH MEMORY
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The bands change brightness based on how many times price has touched them without breaking through.
1-2 touches — band is normal brightness. Level is still respected.
3-4 touches — band gets noticeably brighter. Watch closely.
5-6 touches — band is at full intensity. Exhaustion is possible.
Gray band — the band is exhausted. Price has rejected it too many times. Expect a break, not a reversal.
This tells you whether to fade the band (early touches) or expect a breakout (exhausted band).
◈ THE INFO PANEL EXPLAINED ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
BULLISH / BEARISH / SQUEEZE / EXPANDING — current market regime based on price position relative to Fair Value and band width state.
Zone Position % — where price sits inside the bands right now. 0% = at the lower band. 100% = at the upper band. 50% = exactly at Fair Value. Anything below 20% or above 80% = extreme zone.
FV Stretch — how many ATRs price is away from Fair Value.
Below 1.0× = normal, no stretch
1.0–2.0× = moderate stretch, reversal possible
Above 2.0× = strong overextension, high reversal probability
Last Signal — what the last signal was and how many bars ago it fired.
Band Memory — touch count for each band. When it shows "EXHAUSTED ✕" the band is no longer a reliable reversal zone.
◈ SETTINGS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Fair Value Length (default 50) — how many bars to calculate the center line. Higher = smoother but more lag.
Band Multiplier (default 2.4) — how wide the bands are. Increase for high-volatility assets like crypto. Decrease for slow-moving assets like bonds.
Signal Cooldown (default 5) — minimum bars between signals. Prevents multiple entries on the same move.
Reversal Candle Filter (default ON) — turn OFF to see all band touches as signals.
Compression Threshold (default 0.75) — sensitivity of the SQUEEZE detection. Lower value = only extreme squeezes trigger. Higher = more frequent alerts.
Show Outer Bands — secondary bands for extended breakout targets.
◈ ALERTS
━━━━━━━━━━━
Five built-in alert conditions:
Buy Signal
Sell Signal
Band Squeeze (breakout incoming)
Upper Band Exhausted
Lower Band Exhausted
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
All signals are calculated on bar close. No repainting.
