What BadBuddha's RBR Signals Does
Rally-Base-Rally (and its mirror, Drop-Base-Drop) is a classic supply-and-demand structure: price moves impulsively, pauses to consolidate in a tight base, then continues in the same direction. The base marks where unfilled orders tend to sit — which is why these zones are watched for continuation entries and for reactions on any later retest.
Spotting clean RBR/DBD structures by eye across timeframes is tedious and inconsistent. BadBuddha's RBR Signals detects the pattern automatically as it forms on your chart and marks it, so the structures are identified by rule rather than by mood.
How Traders Use It
Retest reactions
Older marked bases double as reference zones when price returns to them later in the session or week.
Consistent pattern rules
Automation applies the same definition every time — no squinting at whether three sideways candles "count" as a base.
