Support / Resistance Flip Strategy
Trade retests of broken support (now resistance) or broken resistance (now support). pivotStrength and retestWindow define valid flips.
What is Support / Resistance Flip?
When price breaks pivotStrength-confirmed S/R, the broken level often flips role on retest within retestWindow bars. Enter on rejection at flip with bufferPct tolerance for wicks. Targets at next structure or measured move. VaultCharts drawing tools and structure analysis support flip marking — no automated flip-detection script.
