Looking for simple 2-bar reversal study

[MarkCP]

I'm not a programmer and would appreciate anyone's help with this simple (I hope) study.

Condition for long:

-Current bar opens within H/L range of prior bar
-Current bar's H/L range drops below H/L of prior bar
-Current bar closes back within or above prior bar H/L

Reverse conditions for shorts:

- Current bar opens within H/L range of prior bar
- Current bar's H/L range rises above H/L of prior bar
- Current bar closes back within or below prior bar H/L

Obviously the signal could not be given until the 2nd bar prints. Would be great to see the pattern marked on the chart (e.g. arrow) instead of a lower-pane indicator.

If this is something I should be paying for, could I please get suggestions for good custom programmers? There's a lot of very simple patterns I would love to have indicators for and I'd like to save my eyes somehow

The following code is for a three bar strategy. Maybe you or someone else can tweak it to meet your needs.

  EFS Code:
/*******************************************************************
Description    : 3-Bar-Reversal-Pattern Strategy
Provided By    : Developed by TS Support, LLC for eSignal. (c) Copyright 2002

function preMain() {
    setPriceStudy(true);
    setStudyTitle("3BR");
    setCursorLabelName("3BR");
    setColorPriceBars(true);
    setDefaultPriceBarColor(Color.grey);
}


function main() { 
    if(open(-2) > close(-2) && high(-1) < high(-2) && low(-1) < low(-2) && low() > low(-1) && high() > high(-1) + 0.25 && !Strategy.isLong())
            Strategy.doLong("Long", Strategy.MARKET, Strategy.THISBAR);
    if(open(-2) < close(-2) && high(-1) > high(-2) && low(-1) > low(-2) && high() < high(-1) && low() < low(-1) + 0.25 && !Strategy.isShort())
        Strategy.doShort("Short", Strategy.MARKET, Strategy.THISBAR);

    if(Strategy.isLong())
               setPriceBarColor(Color.lime);
    if(Strategy.isShort())
            setPriceBarColor(Color.red);
    return;
}
