🦌 Horn Pattern - Horn + FT - Ming Joo

🦌 Horn Pattern Reversal Strategy (By Ming Joo)

This strategy is based on a 3-bar reversal pattern known as the Horn Pattern (bull-bear-bull for longs, bear-bull-bear for shorts). A confirmation bar (bar[0]) follows the pattern to validate a breakout.

🔍 Context Filter:
To ensure high-quality trades, a simple trend filter is applied using EMA(20):

✅ Bullish Horn signals are valid only if the confirmation bar closes above EMA20

✅ Bearish Horn signals are valid only if the confirmation bar closes below EMA20

This prevents taking counter-trend reversals in weak conditions.

🎯 Entry Logic:

Long entry: Horn high + 1 tick

Short entry: Horn low – 1 tick

Target: 1R

Stop: Structural extreme (low/high of the horn)

Optionally shows 0.5R line

This structure-based reversal model is suitable for 5min–1H timeframes, and works best on volatile instruments (e.g. ES1!, NQ1!, BTCUSD, AAPL).
