The Leledc Exhaustion Bar is an indicator for the MT4 platform. It is one of my personal favourites, for its strong ability to predict reversals.
How does it work?
Red means the trend is either reversing to the downside, or there is a pause in the uptrend
Green means the trend is either reversing to the upside or there is a pause in the downtrend
Note the indicator is NOT repainting. All signals are printed at the close of the bar.
How do I use it?
I usually combine it with a moving average as a trend filter and only trade signals with the trend. In a trend, the indicator usually signals the end of the pull back and the continuation of the trend.

Another way to use it
Another way to use it is when there is confluence with support and resistance levels. See the two screenshots below with the orange arrows. I use it on the 5 min charts together with candlestick patterns and support/resistance lines.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Leledc Exhaustion Bar indicator?
The Leledc Exhaustion Bar is a technical indicator for MT4 that identifies potential price reversal points by detecting exhaustion patterns in buying or selling pressure. It displays color-coded circles on your chart when price has extended too far too fast, signaling possible trend reversals.
Does the Leledc Exhaustion Bar repaint?
No, the Leledc Exhaustion Bar indicator does not repaint. Once a signal appears at bar close, it remains fixed and will not change retroactively. This makes it reliable for backtesting and live trading.
What timeframes work best with this indicator?
The indicator works on all timeframes, but is most effective on H1 and H4 for swing trading, or M15-M30 for day trading. Avoid using it on very low timeframes (M1-M5) where market noise can generate false signals.
How do I use the Leledc Exhaustion Bar for trading?
The best approach is to combine the indicator with trend filters like moving averages. Trade green (bullish) signals only in uptrends, and red (bearish) signals only in downtrends. Use the signals to identify pullback endings and trend continuations.

Solid circles indicate detection of larger price swings with higher significance, while hollow circles detect smaller swings. The indicator includes two versions: Exhaustion Bar 1 identifies longer swings, and Exhaustion Bar 2 is more sensitive for detecting smaller moves.
