Three Consecutive Higher/Lower Closes

I found at times I could get shaken out of a play that was consolidating (i.e., a bull flag) when prices made a series of lower closes within that consolidation. So, if there are three lower closes, but this price action does not go below the signal bar’s low, then the signal is ignored. For this indicator on a long signal, then, the trigger bar would be the first bar that has a higher low than the previous bar. The next bar that closes above the high of this trigger bar paints this previous low bar which now becomes the swing low point.
