Characteristics of a 2-Bar Reversal:
The characteristics aren’t as strict as other trade setups, that’s because as long as when the two bars are morphed together they form a pin bar it counts as a 2-bar trade setup. There are some things that you can look for that will make one trade setup better than another. Below you will see those things:
The bigger the two bars are the better, just like bigger the pin bar the better
For a bullish setup it is better if the 2nd bar is more bullish than the 1st candle is bearish. So that means that the 2nd candle closes above the 1st candles open price (Better explained below)
Short wicks on the side you want to the trade to go and long wicks on the side you don’t want it to go (Also explained better below)
