Strat 3-Bar (Outside Bar) Alert

This indicator automatically detects and alerts you when a Strat 3-Bar (Outside Bar) forms on any chart or timeframe.
An Outside Bar (3) occurs when both sides of the previous candle’s range are taken out — the high breaks above the prior bar’s high AND the low breaks below its low. It signals expansion in price discovery and potential reversals or continuations.
📈 How to Use:
1. Add this script to your chart.
2. Look for red “3” labels or triangles above outside bars.
3. To get alerts, click the TradingView alert icon (⏰):
• Condition → Strat 3-Bar (Outside Bar) Alert
• Option → “Outside Bar (3) Detected”
• Choose “Once per bar close.”
💡 Pro Tips:
- Use with Strat Assist for visual context.
- Combine with timeframe continuity for directional bias.
- Great on 15-min, 1H, and Daily charts.
