I’ve been building a set of visual tools to help day traders read price action faster, cleaner, and with less noise.

One of the more useful tools in the kit has been the 3 Consecutive Same-Colour Bars script — what I call the 3CSC.

It’s simple: it highlights when you get 3 (or more) consecutive bull or bear bars. That’s often a sign of strong momentum — useful for spotting:

• ⚡ Opening spikes
• 🔁 Second legs
• 📈 Persistent pressure that leads to breakouts

🔄 New: Counter-Trend Filter

In this latest update, I’ve added an optional setting to help you study reversal setups.

✅ When enabled, the script will only highlight 3-bar sequences that move against the EMA20 trend:

• 🟩 Bullish sequences that form below the EMA
• 🟥 Bearish sequences that form above the EMA

This helps isolate:

• Potential exhaustion moves
• Failed breakout attempts
• The early stages of a counter-trend reversal

The EMA is fully transparent by default — so it doesn’t clutter your chart, but it still works behind the scenes to shape context.

⚙️ Extra Options

For deeper analysis, you’ve also got optional filters:

• ✅ Require each bar to close beyond the high/low of the previous bar (adds confirmation strength)
• ✅ Highlight price gaps for identifying urgency or vacuum moves

All settings are toggleable, so you can tailor the view to your own style and focus.

🧠 Why This Matters

This is not a signal tool.

It’s a study tool.

Use it to:

• 🧪 Research spike behavior at different times of day
• 🔬 Track which counter-trend moves get follow-through
• 📸 Build a screenshot archive of patterns you’re learning
• 📓 Refine your playbook by seeing clean, repeatable pressure structures

The goal isn’t to tell you what to do — it’s to show you what’s happening.

Less noise. More insight.
