Channel Breakout by NatXateThe Channel Breakout by NatXate is a multi-channel technical indicator designed to identify potential breakout opportunities based on a combination of Keltner Channels, Donchian Channels, and Bollinger Bands.
This indicator helps traders pinpoint buy and sell signals by analyzing price behavior around key channel boundaries, while filtering out false signals using volatility and momentum criteria such as the Average True Range (ATR) and Bollinger Bands Width (BBW).
Key Features:
Keltner Channel:
The Keltner Channel is calculated using an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and ATR to define upper and lower boundaries.
The upper and lower Keltner boundaries serve as potential breakout levels.
Donchian Channel:
The Donchian Channel tracks the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined period.
Price breaking above or below these boundaries indicates a potential long or short opportunity.
Bollinger Bands:
Bollinger Bands use a Simple Moving Average (SMA) and standard deviation to define dynamic support and resistance levels.
The upper and lower Bollinger boundaries provide an additional layer of confirmation for breakouts.
Bollinger Bands Width (BBW) Filter:
Measures the width of the Bollinger Bands, which reflects market volatility.
A minimum BBW threshold (minBBW) ensures signals are only generated during periods of sufficient volatility, helping to avoid false signals in consolidating markets.
ATR Filter:
The ATR is used to measure market volatility.
Only signals with ATR exceeding a user-defined percentage of the current price (atrThresholdPercent) are considered valid.
Buy and Sell Conditions:
Buy Signal:
Price breaks above the upper boundary of any of the three channels (Keltner, Donchian, or Bollinger Bands).
ATR is above its threshold, indicating sufficient volatility.
BBW is above the minBBW threshold.
Sell Signal:
Price breaks below the lower boundary of any of the three channels.
ATR is above its threshold.
BBW is above the minBBW threshold.
Non-Repainting Logic:
Signals are confirmed only after the bar closes (barstate.isconfirmed), preventing repainting and ensuring reliable signal generation.
Visual Signals:
Buy signals are marked with a green "B" label below the bar.
Sell signals are marked with a red "S" label above the bar.
The upper and lower boundaries of the Keltner Channel, Donchian Channel, and Bollinger Bands are plotted for visual clarity.
Alerts:
Separate alerts are available for Buy and Sell signals:
Buy Signal: "Channel Breakout Buy Signal by NatXate detected!"
Sell Signal: "Channel Breakout Sell Signal by NatXate detected!"
Alerts trigger once per bar close, making it suitable for real-time trading or monitoring.
How It Works:
Trend Identification:
The indicator identifies trends based on price breakouts above or below the channel boundaries.
Volatility Filtering:
Both ATR and BBW filters ensure that only high-probability breakout signals are shown, reducing noise in low-volatility environments.
Signal Confirmation:
Signals are confirmed after the bar closes to prevent false positives or premature triggers.
Parameters:
Keltner Channel Parameters:
lengthKC: Period for the Keltner Channel's EMA.
multKC: ATR multiplier for Keltner Channel boundaries.
Donchian Channel Parameters:
lengthDC: Period for calculating the highest high and lowest low.
Bollinger Bands Parameters:
lengthBB: Period for the Bollinger Bands' SMA.
multBB: Standard deviation multiplier for Bollinger Bands boundaries.
ATR Filter:
atrLength: Period for calculating ATR.
atrThresholdPercent: Minimum ATR as a percentage of the price for valid signals.
BBW Filter:
minBBW: Minimum Bollinger Bands Width required for signal generation.
Use Cases:
Breakout Trading:
Detect potential buy and sell opportunities when price breaks key channel boundaries during high volatility.
Trend Following:
Use the indicator to confirm trends and enter trades in the direction of the breakout.
Avoiding Low-Volatility Periods:
The BBW and ATR filters help avoid false signals in consolidating or choppy markets.
Recommended Usage:
Combine this indicator with additional tools such as volume analysis or momentum oscillators (e.g., MACD, RSI) for further confirmation.
Suitable for various timeframes, from intraday to swing trading.
Backtest thoroughly to adjust parameters for the specific market and timeframe you trade.

High/Low Breakout Statistical Analysis StrategyThis Pine Script strategy is designed to assist in the statistical analysis of breakout systems on a monthly, weekly, or daily timeframe. It allows the user to select whether to open a long or short position when the price breaks above or below the respective high or low for the chosen timeframe. The user can also define the holding period for each position in terms of bars.
Core Functionality:
Breakout Logic:
The strategy triggers trades based on price crossing over (for long positions) or crossing under (for short positions) the high or low of the selected period (daily, weekly, or monthly).
Timeframe Selection:
A dropdown menu enables the user to switch between the desired timeframe (monthly, weekly, or daily).
Trade Direction:
Another dropdown allows the user to select the type of trade (long or short) depending on whether the breakout occurs at the high or low of the timeframe.
Holding Period:
Once a trade is opened, it is automatically closed after a user-defined number of bars, making it useful for analyzing how breakout signals perform over short-term periods.
This strategy is intended exclusively for research and statistical purposes rather than real-time trading, helping users to assess the behavior of breakouts over different timeframes.
Relevance of Breakout Systems:
Breakout trading systems, where trades are executed when the price moves beyond a significant price level such as the high or low of a given period, have been extensively studied in financial literature for their potential predictive power.
Momentum and Trend Following:
Breakout strategies are a form of momentum-based trading, exploiting the tendency of prices to continue moving in the direction of a strong initial movement after breaching a critical support or resistance level. According to academic research, momentum strategies, including breakouts, can produce returns above average market returns when applied consistently. For example, Jegadeesh and Titman (1993) demonstrated that stocks that performed well in the past 3-12 months continued to outperform in the subsequent months, suggesting that price continuation patterns, like breakouts, hold value .
Market Efficiency Hypothesis:
While the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) posits that markets are generally efficient, and it is difficult to outperform the market through technical strategies, some studies show that in less liquid markets or during specific times of market stress, breakout systems can capitalize on temporary inefficiencies. Taylor (2005) and other researchers have found instances where breakout systems can outperform the market under certain conditions.
Volatility and Breakouts:
Breakouts are often linked to periods of increased volatility, which can generate trading opportunities. Coval and Shumway (2001) found that periods of heightened volatility can make breakouts more significant, increasing the likelihood that price trends will follow the breakout direction. This correlation between volatility and breakout reliability makes it essential to study breakouts across different timeframes to assess their potential profitability .
In summary, this breakout strategy offers an empirical way to study price behavior around key support and resistance levels. It is useful for researchers and traders aiming to statistically evaluate the effectiveness and consistency of breakout signals across different timeframes, contributing to broader research on momentum and market behavior.

Swing Points [CrossTrade]The "Swing Points" indicator is designed to help identify key swing points, trends, and potential support and resistance areas on a trading chart. This indicator overlays on the price chart and offers several features for enhanced market analysis.
Swing Point Identification: The indicator identifies swing highs and lows (pivot points) over a user-defined period. These points are crucial in understanding market reversals and momentum.
Swing Points Display: Users have the option to visually display these pivot points on the chart. Swing highs are marked with a red "H" above the bar, and swing lows with a green "L" below the bar, aiding in quick visual identification.
Center Line Calculation and Display: A dynamic center line is calculated using the pivot points, providing a baseline that adapts to market movements. The center line's appearance changes based on its position relative to the current price, making it a useful trend indicator.
Support and Resistance Levels: The indicator plots horizontal support and resistance lines based on the swing lows and highs, respectively. This feature helps traders identify potential areas of price consolidation or breakout.
Customization Options: Users can customize the period for swing point calculation and choose whether to display the pivot points, center line, and support/resistance levels.
Alert Features
Swing High Break Alert: An alert is triggered when a new swing high is detected, signaling a potential upward momentum shift.
Swing Low Break Alert: This alert activates when a new swing low is formed, possibly indicating a downward momentum shift.
Center Line Trend Color Change Alert: Alerts users when the center line changes its trend color, which could signify a change in overall market trend direction.
Harmonic Patterns ScannerHello Traders!
The Harmonic Patterns Scanner takes the time-consuming search for harmonic patterns completely off your hands. This indicator utilizes a unique swing-based pattern recognition to pinpoint 14 different bullish and bearish harmonic patterns in real-time with unparalleled precision.
The Harmonic Patterns Scanner is designed to operate in a fully automated manner, detecting harmonic patterns in real-time across the symbol and timeframe that you select. It grants you the ability to simultaneously scan for patterns across as many as 20 distinct symbols.
Pattern List (each pattern has a bullish and a bearish version)

Feature List
Automatic real-time pattern detection
7 different built-in breakout conditions
Breakout alerts
Customizable pattern size and accuracy
Customizable look and feel
The value of this indicator is to support traders to easily identify harmonic patterns. The trader saves a lot of time scanning the markets for harmonic patterns, since finding the pattern and alerting for a breakout is done automatically for the trader.
For a visualization of the detected patterns, you can add the TRN Harmonic Patterns Suite indicator to your chart.
How does TRN Harmonics Scanner work?
On the right side of the chart, you can find a table displaying the symbols monitored by our scanner for pattern and breakout detection. The table is divided into bullish and bearish patterns and provides information on the status of each symbol.
UP – Upside Breakout
DN – Downside Breakout
UP CONF – Upside Breakout confirmed
DN CONF – Downside Breakout confirmed
FAILED – Pattern failed to get confirmed
If a pattern is in the making or already got confirmed, the scanner displays the name of the harmonic pattern in the table.
The scanner operates specifically on the timeframe you have selected in TradingView, ensuring that the detected patterns and breakouts align precisely with your trading perspective. If the scanner displays a pattern or a breakout, you just can switch to this instrument and start trading it if you like what you see.
Follow these instructions to discover how you can utilize the scanner for seamless and simplified chart pattern detection like never before:
Add Symbols
Go to indicator settings and scroll down to the "Symbols" section. The enabled symbols can be recognized by the check marks. Click on one of them and use the search function to add the symbol of your choice to the scanner. You can search for up to 20 different symbols at the same time.
Use Alerts (Optional but Recommended)
You can also use the built-in alerts to easily get notified when a pattern occurs. In the indicator settings in the "Alerts" section you can choose whether you want to get notified when a pattern is
1. in the making (Pattern active),
2. confirms an up breakout (B/O Up Confirmed)
3. confirms a down breakout (B/O Down Confirmed)
4. (Unconfirmed) in case a pattern breakout occurs, even if the pattern is not yet confirmed
This allows you to stay informed about potential breakout opportunities.
Customization and settings
The indicator can scan for smaller and larger patterns. Adjust the harmonics size in the indicator settings to align them with your preferences. A larger size results in larger patterns. Depending on the asset class, the market or the market phase, different sizes can be used for pattern detection.
To detect more patterns, increase the tolerance level, even though it may result in lower accuracy. However, be mindful that a higher tolerance level may result in more patterns hitting their stop-loss.
Breakout Conditions
Identifying breakout conditions is paramount for successfully profiting on chart patterns. Trading tools equipped with diverse breakout conditions offer traders a comprehensive approach to deciphering market trends and making informed decisions.
This section delves into the set of breakout conditions built within the Harmonic Pattern Scanner, exploring their functionalities, applications, and the benefits they provide in the realm of chart pattern recognition.
TRN Bars Signal + Trend
The Harmonic Pattern Scanner includes also the TRN Bars algorithm. It is designed to spot bullish and bearish trends and reversals. The trend analysis is based on a new algorithm that weights several different inputs:
1. classical and advanced bar patterns and their statistical frequency
2. probability distributions of price expansions after certain bar patterns
3. bar information such as wick length in %, overlapping of the previous bar in % and many more
4. historical trend and consolidation analysis
If you use this breakout condition, the breakout is determined by the next signal (reversal, continuation, breakout) or trend change of the TRN bars after one of the harmonic patterns has been completed. These Breakout conditions give you the accurate trend recognition of the TRN Bars to find the perfect entry.
TRN Bars Signal
If a harmonic pattern gets completed and you use this breakout condition, the breakout will be determined by the next confirmed signal (reversal, continuation, breakout) of the TRN Bars. These Breakout Condition delivers signals with reenforced reliability, but they occur not as often as other breakout conditions.
RSI Crossing
With this breakout condition, a breakout for a long position gets determined, when the RSI line crosses above the RSI moving average (MA) after one of the harmonic patterns has been completed. A bearish breakout after a completed harmonic pattern gets determined, when the RSI line crosses below the RSI MA.
You can choose your preferred RSI and MA length in the indicator settings under the “Trade Management” section.
MACD Crossing
If a harmonic pattern gets completed and you use this breakout condition, the breakout gets determined, when the MACD line crosses above the signal line (bullish MACD crossover) for a bullish breakout. Conversely, when the MACD line crosses below the signal line (bearish MACD crossover), a bearish breakout gets determined after a harmonic pattern was completed.
You can choose your preferred MACD length in the indicator settings under the “Trade Management” section.
Swing Flip
Use this breakout condition, if you want a breakout to get determined when the next swing after point D gets detected by the build in swing detection algorithm of TRN Harmonics.
Close Below/Above Last 2 Lows/Highs
With this breakout condition, a breakout for a short position gets determined, if a close below the lows of the last 2 bars gets detected. For a long position, the breakout gets determined if a close above the highs of the last 2 bars gets detected.
Close Below/Above Last 3 Lows/Highs
In this scenario, a short position breakout is confirmed if the price closes below the lows of the previous 3 bars. Conversely, a long position breakout is confirmed if the price closes above the highs of the last 3 bars.
How To Setup Breakout Conditions
Go to indicator settings and choose one of our built-in breakout conditions under the section "Trade Management" of the menu item "Inputs", like for example TRN Bars Signal + Trend. A selection of 7 distinct breakout conditions is at your disposal.
Computation Details
The real-time detection of the harmonic patterns utilizes a unique swing-based pattern recognition. The difference to other swing-based computations is that the pivot points are identified without a look-ahead value. The result is a faster and better real-time detection. The tolerance level unites several internal parameters into one and results in a user-friendly setting.

BBMA Enhanced Pro - Multi-Timeframe Band Breakout StrategyShort Title : BBMA Pro
Overview
The BBMA Enhanced Pro is a professional-grade trading indicator that builds on the Bollinger Bands Moving Average (BBMA) strategy, pioneered by Omar Ali , a Malaysian forex trader and educator. Combining Bollinger Bands with Weighted Moving Averages (WMA) , this indicator identifies high-probability breakout and reversal opportunities across multiple timeframes. With advanced features like multi-timeframe Extreme signal detection, eight professional visual themes, and a dual-mode dashboard, it’s designed for traders seeking precision in trending and consolidating markets. Optimized for dark chart backgrounds, it’s ideal for forex, stocks, and crypto trading.
History
The BBMA strategy was developed by Omar Ali (BBMA Oma Ally) in the early 2010s, gaining popularity in the forex trading community, particularly in Southeast Asia. Building on John Bollinger’s Bollinger Bands, Omar Ali integrated Weighted Moving Averages and a multi-timeframe approach to create a structured system for identifying reversals, breakouts, and extreme conditions. The BBMA Enhanced Pro refines this framework with modern features like real-time dashboards and customizable visualizations, making it accessible to both novice and experienced traders.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe Extreme Signals : Detects Extreme signals (overbought/oversold conditions) on both current and higher timeframes simultaneously, a rare feature that enhances signal reliability through trend alignment.
Professional Visual Themes : Eight distinct themes (e.g., Neon Contrast, Fire Gradient) optimized for dark backgrounds.
Dual-Mode Dashboard : Choose between Full Professional (detailed metrics) or Simplified Trader (essential info with custom notes).
Bollinger Band Squeeze Detection : Identifies low volatility periods (narrow bands) signaling potential sideways markets or breakouts.
Confirmation Labels : Displays labels when current timeframe signals align with recent higher timeframe signals, highlighting potential consolidations or squeezes.
Timeframe Validation : Prevents selecting the same timeframe for current and higher timeframe analysis.
Customizable Visualization : Toggle signal dots, EMA 50, and confirmation labels for a clean chart experience.
How It Works
The BBMA Enhanced Pro combines Bollinger Bands (20-period SMA, ±2 standard deviations) with WMA (5 and 10 periods) to generate trade signals:
Buy Signal : WMA 5 Low crosses above the lower Bollinger Band, indicating a recovery from an oversold condition (Extreme buy).
Sell Signal : WMA 5 High crosses below the upper Bollinger Band, signaling a rejection from an overbought condition (Extreme sell).
Extreme Signals : Occur when prices or WMAs move significantly beyond the Bollinger Bands (±2σ), indicating statistically rare overextensions. These often coincide with Bollinger Band Squeezes (narrow bands, low standard deviation), signaling potential sideways markets or impending breakouts.
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation : The indicator’s unique strength is its ability to detect Extreme signals on both the current and higher timeframe (HTF) within the same chart. When the HTF generates an Extreme signal (e.g., buy), and the current timeframe follows with an identical signal, it suggests the lower timeframe is aligning with the HTF’s trend, increasing reliability. Labels appear only when this alignment occurs within a user-defined lookback period (default: 50 bars), highlighting periods of band contraction across timeframes.
Bollinger Band Squeeze : Narrow bands (low standard deviation) indicate reduced volatility, often preceding consolidation or breakouts. The indicator’s dashboard tracks band width, helping traders anticipate these phases.
Why Multi-Timeframe Extremes Matter
The BBMA Enhanced Pro’s multi-timeframe approach is rare and powerful. When the higher timeframe shows an Extreme signal followed by a similar signal on the current timeframe, it suggests the market is following the HTF’s trend or entering a consolidation phase. For example:
HTF Sideways First : If the HTF Bollinger Bands are shrinking (low volatility, low standard deviation), it signals a potential sideways market. Waiting for the current timeframe to show a similar Extreme signal confirms this consolidation, reducing the risk of false breakouts.
Risk Management : By requiring HTF confirmation, the indicator encourages traders to lower risk during uncertain periods, waiting for both timeframes to align in a low-volatility state before acting.
Usage Instructions
Select Display Mode :
Current TF Only : Shows Bollinger Bands and WMAs on the chart’s timeframe.
Higher TF Only : Displays HTF bands and WMAs.
Both Timeframes : Combines both for comprehensive analysis.
Choose Higher Timeframe : Select from 1min to 1D (e.g., 15min, 1hr). Ensure it differs from the current timeframe to avoid validation errors.
Enable Signal Dots : Visualize buy/sell Extreme signals as dots, sourced from current, HTF, or both timeframes.
Toggle Confirmation Labels : Display labels when current timeframe Extremes align with recent HTF Extremes, signaling potential squeezes or consolidations.
Customize Dashboard :
Full Professional Mode : View metrics like BB width, WMA trend, and last signal.
Simplified Trader Mode : Focus on essential info with custom trader notes.
Select Visual Theme : Choose from eight themes (e.g., Ice Crystal, Royal Purple) for optimal chart clarity.
Trading Example
Setup : 5min chart, HTF set to 1hr, signal dots and confirmation labels enabled.
Buy Scenario : On the 5min chart, WMA 5 Low crosses above the lower Bollinger Band (Extreme buy), confirmed by a recent 1hr Extreme buy signal within 50 bars. The dashboard shows narrow bands (squeeze), and a green label appears.
Action : Enter a long position, targeting the middle band, with a stop-loss below the recent low. The HTF confirmation suggests a strong trend or consolidation phase.
Sell Scenario : WMA 5 High crosses below the upper Bollinger Band on the 5min chart, confirmed by a recent 1hr Extreme sell signal. The dashboard indicates a squeeze, and a red label appears.
Action : Enter a short position, targeting the middle band, with a stop-loss above the recent high. The aligned signals suggest a potential reversal or sideways market.
Customization Options
BBMA Display Mode : Current TF Only, Higher TF Only, or Both Timeframes.
Higher Timeframe : 1min to 1D.
Visual Theme : Eight professional themes (e.g., Neon Contrast, Forest Glow).
Line Style : Smooth or Step Line for HTF plots.
Signal Dots : Enable/disable, select timeframe source (Current, Higher, or Both).
Confirmation Labels : Toggle and set lookback window (1-100 bars).
Dashboard : Enable/disable, choose mode (Full/Simplified), and set position (Top Right, Bottom Left, etc.).
Notes
Extreme Signals and Squeezes : Extreme signals often occur during Bollinger Band contraction (low standard deviation), signaling potential sideways markets or breakouts. Use HTF confirmation to filter false signals.
Risk Management : If the HTF shows a squeeze (narrow bands), wait for the current timeframe to confirm with an Extreme signal to reduce risk in choppy markets.
Limitations : Avoid trading Extremes in highly volatile markets without additional confirmation (e.g., volume, RSI).

🔶 Advanced Channel Construction
Implements dual-zone architecture using recent price extremes as foundation points, applying EMA smoothing to reduce noise and ATR multipliers for volatility-responsive channel widths. The system creates resistance channels from highest highs and support channels from lowest lows with asymmetric multiplier ratios for optimal market reaction zones.
// Core Channel Calculation Framework
ATR = ta.atr(14)
// Resistance Channel Construction
Resistance_Basis = ta.ema(ta.highest(high, lookback), lookback)
Resistance_Upper = Resistance_Basis + (ATR * resistance_mult)
Resistance_Lower = Resistance_Basis - (ATR * resistance_mult * 0.3)
// Support Channel Construction
Support_Basis = ta.ema(ta.lowest(low, lookback), lookback)
Support_Upper = Support_Basis + (ATR * support_mult * 0.4)
Support_Lower = Support_Basis - (ATR * support_mult)
// Smoothing Application
Smoothed_Resistance_Upper = ta.ema(Resistance_Upper, smooth_periods)
Smoothed_Support_Lower = ta.ema(Support_Lower, smooth_periods)
🔶 Volatility-Adaptive Zone Framework
Features dynamic ATR-based width adjustment that expands channels during high-volatility periods and contracts during consolidation phases, preventing false signals while maintaining sensitivity to genuine breakouts. The asymmetric multiplier system optimizes zone boundaries for realistic market behavior patterns.
// Dynamic Volatility Adjustment
Channel_Width_Resistance = ATR * resistance_mult
Channel_Width_Support = ATR * support_mult
// Asymmetric Zone Optimization
Resistance_Zone = Resistance_Basis ± (ATR_Multiplied * )
Support_Zone = Support_Basis ± (ATR_Multiplied * )
🔶 Step-Like Boundary Evolution
Creates horizontal step boundaries that update on smoothed bound changes, providing visual history of evolving support and resistance levels with performance-optimized array management limited to 50 historical levels for clean chart presentation and efficient processing.
🔶 Comprehensive Signal Detection

RVOL with Breakout Signals
Key Features
RVOL Line : Displays RVOL as a gray line on the chart. Values above 1 indicate above-average volume; above 2 suggests strong activity.
Horizontal Lines :
Base Line (light pink dotted at 0): Reference baseline.
RVOL 1 (gray dashed): Threshold for average volume.
RVOL 2 (green dashed): Threshold for high volume activity.
Breakout Buy Signals : Pink upward triangles (above the bar) appear when the price closes above the highest high of the past breakout lookback period AND RVOL exceeds the set threshold (default 2). This confirms potential valid breakouts backed by volume.
How to Use
Add the indicator to your chart.
Adjust inputs in the settings:
RVOL Lookback Period (default 10): Number of bars to calculate average volume. For short-term trades (intraday to mid-term), 5-20 works best; test based on your timeframe.
Breakout Lookback Period (default 20): Bars to check for the previous high. Shorter for aggressive breakouts, longer for stronger confirmations.
RVOL Threshold for Breakout (default 2.0): Minimum RVOL required to confirm a breakout signal.
Look for pink triangles as buy signals during breakouts. Combine with your strategy (e.g., support/resistance, trends) for entries.
For position sizing: Higher RVOL (e.g., >2) allows larger positions due to better liquidity and reward potential.
When to Use
Breakout Plays : Ideal for spotting valid breakouts in volatile stocks. High RVOL confirms the move isn't a fakeout, as volume indicates real interest (e.g., institutional buying).
Short to Mid-Term Trades : Best on 5-min to daily charts for day trading or swings. Use on "In Play" stocks with news, earnings, or catalysts.
Avoid in Low Volume : If RVOL <1, skip or use small positions—low liquidity increases risk.
Inspired by traders like those at SMB Capital, who use RVOL to decide execution and sizing.
Example
See the attached screenshot on Bitcoin daily chart, showing multiple valid breakouts marked by pink triangles where price breaks highs with RVOL >2, leading to strong upward moves. This demonstrates how the indicator filters noise and highlights high-probability setups. Always backtest and use risk management!
Let me knows u have any idea to improve the indicator. Thank you all!

Simple Breakout Zones MTFSimple Breakout Zones MTF
Overview
The "Simple Breakout Zones MTF" indicator is designed to help traders identify key breakout and rejection zones using multi-timeframe (MTF) analysis. By calculating high and low zones based on both close and high/low data, this indicator provides a comprehensive view of market movements. It is ideal for traders looking to spot potential trend reversals, breakouts, or rejections with added flexibility through MTF support and customizable tolerance modes.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Support: Analyze data from different timeframes for both Close Mode and HL (High/Low) Mode to gain a broader market perspective.
Tolerance Modes: Choose from three tolerance options—ATR, Percent, or Fixed—to adjust the sensitivity of breakout and rejection signals.
Zone Visualization: Easily identify high and low zones with filled areas, making it simple to spot potential breakout or rejection levels.
Breakout and Rejection Detection: Detects breakouts and rejections for both Close and HL modes, with specific conditions to ensure accurate signals.
Custom Alerts: Set up alerts for various scenarios, including when both modes agree on a breakout or rejection, or when only one mode triggers a signal.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) and Higher Timeframe (HTF) Utility
The Multi-Timeframe (MTF) and Higher Timeframe (HTF) modes are powerful features that significantly enhance the indicator’s versatility and effectiveness. By enabling MTF/HTF analysis, traders can integrate data from multiple timeframes—such as daily, weekly, or monthly—into a single chart, regardless of the timeframe they are currently viewing. This capability is invaluable for understanding the bigger picture of market behavior. For instance, a trader working on a 15-minute chart can leverage HTF data from a daily chart to identify overarching trends, critical support and resistance levels, or potential reversal zones that would otherwise remain hidden on shorter timeframes. This multi-layered perspective is especially beneficial for swing traders, position traders, or anyone employing strategies that require alignment with longer-term market movements.
Additionally, the MTF/HTF functionality allows traders to filter out noise and false signals often present in lower timeframes. For example, a breakout signal on a 1-hour chart gains greater significance when confirmed by HTF analysis showing a similar breakout on a 4-hour or daily timeframe. This confluence increases confidence in trade setups and reduces the likelihood of acting on fleeting market fluctuations. Whether used to spot macro trends, validate trade entries, or time exits with precision, the MTF/HTF modes make this indicator a robust tool for adapting to various trading styles and market conditions.
Non-Repainting Indicator
A standout advantage of this indicator is its non-repainting nature, which applies fully to the MTF and HTF modes. Unlike repainting indicators that retroactively alter their signals, this indicator locks in its calculated levels and zones once a bar closes on the chosen timeframe—whether it’s the current chart’s timeframe or a higher one selected via MTF/HTF settings. This reliability is critical for traders who depend on consistent historical data for strategy development and backtesting. For example, a support zone identified on a daily timeframe using HTF mode will remain unchanged in the past, present, and future, ensuring that what you see in a backtest mirrors what you would have experienced in real-time trading. This non-repainting feature fosters trust in the indicator’s signals, making it a dependable choice for both discretionary and systematic traders seeking accurate, reproducible results.
How It Works
The indicator calculates the highest and lowest values over a specified period (length) for both close prices (Close Mode) and high/low prices (HL Mode). These calculations can be performed on the current timeframe or a higher timeframe using MTF settings. The high and low zones are created by taking the maximum and minimum of the Close and HL levels, respectively.
Breakouts: A breakout occurs when the price closes beyond the calculated levels for both modes or just one, depending on the alert condition.
Rejections: A rejection is detected when the price touches the zone but fails to close beyond it, indicating potential resistance or support.
Tolerance is applied to the rejection logic to account for minor price fluctuations and can be customized using ATR, a percentage of the price, or a fixed value.
Usage Instructions
1. Input Settings
Use MTF for Close Mode?: Enable this option to analyze Close Mode data from a higher timeframe. When enabled, the indicator will use the specified 'Close Mode Timeframe' for calculations.
Close Mode Timeframe: Select the timeframe for Close Mode analysis (e.g., 'D' for daily). This allows you to incorporate longer-term close price data into your analysis.
Use MTF for HL Mode?: Enable this option to analyze HL (High/Low) Mode data from a higher timeframe. When enabled, the indicator will use the specified 'HL Mode Timeframe' for calculations.
HL Mode Timeframe: Select the timeframe for HL Mode analysis. This enables you to consider longer-term high and low price levels.
Source: Choose the data source for calculations (default is 'close').
Length: Set the lookback period for calculating the highest and lowest values.
Tolerance Mode: Select how tolerance is calculated—'ATR', 'Percent', or 'Fixed'.
ATR Length: Set the ATR period if using ATR tolerance.
ATR Multiplier: Adjust the multiplier for ATR-based tolerance.
Tolerance % of Price: Set the percentage for Percent tolerance.
Fixed Tolerance (Points): Set a fixed tolerance value in points.
2. Visual Elements
High Zone: A filled area (aqua) between the highest levels of Close Max and HL Max.
Low Zone: A filled area (orange) between the lowest levels of Close Min and HL Min.
Close Max/Min: Green and red crosses indicating the highest and lowest close prices over the specified length.
HL Max/Min: Green and red crosses indicating the highest high and lowest low prices over the specified length.
3. Alerts
The indicator provides several alert conditions to notify you of potential trading opportunities:
Both Modes New High: Triggers when both Close and HL modes agree on a new high, indicating a strong breakout signal upward.
Both Modes New Low: Triggers when both modes agree on a new low, indicating a strong breakout signal downward.
Both Modes Rejection: Triggers when both modes agree on a rejection, suggesting strong resistance or support.
Close Mode New High: Triggers when only Close Mode indicates a new high, useful for early breakout signals upward.
Close Mode New Low: Triggers when only Close Mode indicates a new low, useful for early breakout signals downward.
Weak Rejection Up: Triggers when only one mode indicates a rejection upward, signaling a weaker but noteworthy resistance.
Weak Rejection Down: Triggers when only one mode indicates a rejection downward, signaling a weaker but noteworthy support.
Why Use This Indicator?
Enhanced Market Insight: Combining data from multiple timeframes and modes provides a more complete picture of market dynamics.
Customizable Sensitivity: Adjust tolerance settings to fine-tune the indicator for different market conditions or trading styles.
Clear Visual Cues: Filled zones and plotted levels make it easy to spot key areas of interest on the chart.
Versatile Alerts: Tailor alerts to capture both strong and subtle market movements, ensuring you never miss a potential opportunity.
Reliable Signals: The non-repainting nature of the indicator ensures that the signals and zones are consistent and trustworthy, both in backtesting and live trading.
Volume Breakout SignalsScript by Hanssome
The Volume Breakout Signals indicator is a trading tool designed to identify potential entry points by pinpointing high-momentum price breakouts on your main chart. It operates on a simple but powerful principle: a true breakout should be supported by a significant increase in trading volume.
The indicator plots two primary visual elements on your price chart:
Pivot Highs and Lows: These are marked with green and red circles and represent the most recent significant swing points in the price. They act as dynamic support and resistance levels, and the script watches for the price to break past them.
BUY and SELL Labels: These signals appear directly on the chart to indicate a potential trading opportunity.
A signal is only generated when two specific conditions are met simultaneously:
Price Breakout: A BUY signal requires the price to cross decisively above the most recent pivot high. A SELL signal requires the price to cross below the most recent pivot low.
Volume Confirmation: This price breakout must be accompanied by a recent spike in trading volume. This confirmation suggests strong momentum and conviction behind the move, increasing the probability of a successful breakout.
All the parameters, such as the sensitivity of the pivot points and the definition of a volume spike, can be adjusted in the indicator's settings to fit your specific trading style and the asset you are viewing.
Faytterro Bands Breakout📌 Faytterro Bands Breakout 📌
This indicator was created as a strategy showcase for another script: Faytterro Bands
It’s meant to demonstrate a simple breakout strategy based on Faytterro Bands logic and includes performance tracking.
❓ What Is It?
This script is a visual breakout strategy based on a custom moving average and dynamic deviation bands, similar in concept to Bollinger Bands but with unique smoothing (centered regression) and performance features.
🔍 What Does It Do?
Detects breakouts above or below the Faytterro Band.
Plots visual trade entries and exits.
Labels each trade with percentage return.
Draws profit/loss lines for every trade.
Shows cumulative performance (compounded return).
Displays key metrics in the top-right corner:
Total Return
Win Rate
Total Trades
Number of Wins / Losses
🛠 How Does It Work?
Bullish Breakout: When price crosses above the upper band and stays above the midline.
Bearish Breakout: When price crosses below the lower band and stays below the midline.
Each trade is held until breakout invalidation, not a fixed TP/SL.
Trades are compounded, i.e., profits stack up realistically over time.
📈 Best Use Cases:
For traders who want to experiment with breakout strategies.
For visual learners who want to study past breakouts with performance metrics.
As a template to develop your own logic on top of Faytterro Bands.
⚠ Notes:
This is a strategy-like visual indicator, not an automated backtest.
It doesn't use strategy.* commands, so you can still use alerts and visuals.
You can tweak the logic to create your own backtest-ready strategy.
Unlike the original Faytterro Bands, this script does not repaint and is fully stable on closed candles.

Smart FlexRange Breakout [The_lurker]The Smart FlexRange Breakout tool aims to identify trading opportunities based on price breakouts of dynamic levels (CALL, PUT) with a dotted centerline and the ability to select the applicable market. The tool relies on candlestick analysis over a specific time period (such as 3 hours). Candle data (searchHours) is collected to identify the most significant candle based on candlestick patterns and trading volume during the selected timeframe. Breakout levels and take-profit (TP) targets are then plotted, along with buy and sell signals, breakout notifications, and up/down trend lines based on Pivot Points.
The tool is run according to the selected timeframe.
Practical Use
1- Setup: Adjust the market, timeframe, number of hours, and time zone to suit the trader's needs.
2- Trading: Monitor signals (BUY/SELL) and TP levels to determine entry and exit points.
3- Trend Lines: Use them to understand the overall trend and confirm signals.
---
1. Objective: Identify trading opportunities based on price breakouts
- Trading opportunities: The indicator is designed to help traders identify moments when significant price movements are likely, allowing them to enter buy or sell trades based on market changes.
- Price breakouts: The indicator focuses on moments when prices break through key levels (resistance or support). A breakout occurs when the price exceeds a resistance level (up) or breaks a support level (down), indicating a potential continuation of the movement in the same direction.
- Dynamic: Resistance and support levels are not static; rather, they are calculated based on candlestick analysis over a specific period of time, making them adaptive to current market conditions.
---
2. Dynamic levels (resistance and support levels)
- Resistance levels: These represent prices that the price is difficult to break above, defined here as the high of the most significant candle during the specified period.
- Support levels: These represent prices below which the price is difficult to fall, defined as the low of the most significant candle.
- Dynamic: These levels are recalculated every new search period (searchHours), meaning they change based on the latest market data, unlike traditional static levels.
---
3. Adding a Dotted Center Line
- Center Line: A horizontal dotted line is drawn at the midpoint between the high and low of the most significant candle.
- Purpose:
- Provides a visual reference point for determining the current price position relative to support and resistance levels.
- Helps assess whether the price is moving toward a breakout (near resistance) or a breakout (near support).
- Dotted: The dotted pattern distinguishes it from the solid upper and lower lines, making it easier to distinguish visually.
---
4. Relying on candlestick analysis over a specific time period (searchHours)
- Candlestick Analysis: The indicator examines candlesticks to determine which ones have the most influence on price movement.
- Timeframe (searchHours):
- The user specifies the number of hours (1-6) for candle analysis, which determines the range of data the indicator relies on.
- Example: If searchHours = 3 and timeframe = 30 minutes, 6 candles are analyzed (3 hours ÷ 30 minutes).
- Flexibility: This period can be adjusted to suit different markets (such as volatile cryptocurrencies or more stable Forex).
---
5. Determining the Most Important Candle Based on Candle Patterns and Volume
- The most important candle: is the candle believed to have the greatest impact on price movement based on specific criteria.
- Candle Patterns:
- Candles are analyzed using a candlestick pattern library (such as Engulfing, Hammer, Doji).
- Reversal patterns (such as Morning Star, Shooting Star) are given a high importance score (100 points) because they indicate potential trend changes.
- Trading Volume:
- The trading volume of each candle is measured and compared to the maximum and minimum during the period.
- Volume is calculated as a percentage (0-100) and added to the pattern score to determine the most significant candle.
- Result: The candle with the highest score (patterns + volume) is used to determine support and resistance levels.
---
6. Timeframe
- Time interval: The user selects a time frame for the candles (15, 30, or 60 minutes).
- Importance:
- Determines the number of candles analyzed during the searchHours period.
- Affects the accuracy and speed of the signals (shorter timeframe = faster but less reliable signals; longer timeframe = slower but more reliable signals).
- Example: If the timeframe is 60 minutes and searchHours is 3, only 3 candles are analyzed.
---
7. Drawing Breakout Levels and Take Profit Targets (TP)
- Breakout Levels:
- Upper line (resistance): Drawn at the highest price of the most significant candle and is labeled "CALL".
- Lower line (support): Drawn at the lowest price of the most important candle and is called "PUT."
- These lines represent levels where a breakout is expected to lead to a strong price movement.
- Take Profit Targets (TP):
- Up to 8 bullish (above the upper line) and bearish (below the lower line) TP levels are calculated.
- They are calculated based on a percentage (tpPercentage) added or subtracted from the base lines.
- Example: If tpPercentage = 0.6% and the high price = 100, then bullish TP1 = 100.6, TP2 = 101.2, etc.
- Labels: Labels are drawn for each TP level indicating the value and level (TP1, TP2, etc.).
---
8. Buy and Sell Signals
- Buy (BUY) signal:
- Generated when the price breaks the upper line (ta.crossover).
- The "BUY" label is drawn with the redrawing of the TP levels.
- Sell signal (SELL):
- Generated when the price breaks the lower line (ta.crossunder).
- The "SELL" label is drawn with the redrawing of the TP levels.
- Purpose: To provide clear signals to the trader for making trade entry decisions.

تهدف أداة Smart FlexRange Breakout إلى تحديد فرص التداول بناءً على اختراقات الأسعار للمستويات الديناميكية (CALL، PUT) مع خط مركزي منقط، مع إمكانية اختيار السوق المناسب. تعتمد الأداة على تحليل الشموع اليابانية على مدى فترة زمنية محددة (مثل 3 ساعات). تُجمع بيانات الشموع (searchHours) لتحديد أهم شمعة بناءً على أنماط الشموع وحجم التداول خلال الإطار الزمني المحدد. ثم تُرسم مستويات الاختراق وأهداف جني الأرباح (TP)، بالإضافة إلى إشارات البيع والشراء، وإشعارات الاختراق، وخطوط الاتجاه الصعودي/الهبوطي بناءً على نقاط المحور.
يتم تشغيل الاداه حسب الفاصل المختار timeframe
الاستخدام العملي
1- الإعداد: اضبط السوق، والإطار الزمني، وعدد الساعات، والمنطقة الزمنية لتناسب احتياجات المتداول.
2- التداول: راقب إشارات (الشراء/البيع) ومستويات جني الأرباح لتحديد نقاط الدخول والخروج.
3- خطوط الاتجاه: استخدمها لفهم الاتجاه العام وتأكيد الإشارات.
1. الهدف: تحديد فرص التداول بناءً على اختراقات الأسعار
- فرص التداول: صُمم هذا المؤشر لمساعدة المتداولين على تحديد اللحظات التي يُحتمل فيها حدوث تحركات سعرية كبيرة، مما يسمح لهم بالدخول في صفقات شراء أو بيع بناءً على تغيرات السوق.
- اختراقات الأسعار: يُركز المؤشر على اللحظات التي تخترق فيها الأسعار مستويات رئيسية (مقاومة أو دعم). يحدث الاختراق عندما يتجاوز السعر مستوى مقاومة (صعودًا) أو يخترق مستوى دعم (هبوطًا)، مما يُشير إلى احتمال استمرار الحركة في نفس الاتجاه.
- ديناميكي: مستويات المقاومة والدعم ليست ثابتة؛ بل تُحسب بناءً على تحليل الشموع اليابانية على مدى فترة زمنية محددة، مما يجعلها مُكيفة مع ظروف السوق الحالية.
2. المستويات الديناميكية (مستويات المقاومة والدعم)
- مستويات المقاومة: تُمثل هذه الأسعار التي يصعب على السعر تجاوزها، وتُعرف هنا بأنها ارتفاع الشمعة الأكثر أهمية خلال الفترة المحددة.
- مستويات الدعم: تُمثل هذه الأسعار التي يصعب على السعر الانخفاض دونها، وتُعرف بأنها أدنى مستوى للشمعة الأكثر أهمية.
- ديناميكي: تُعاد حساب هذه المستويات مع كل فترة بحث جديدة (ساعات البحث)، مما يعني أنها تتغير بناءً على أحدث بيانات السوق، على عكس المستويات الثابتة التقليدية.
3. إضافة خط مركزي منقط
- خط المركز: يُرسم خط أفقي منقط عند نقطة المنتصف بين أعلى وأدنى شمعة ذات أهمية.
- الغرض:
- يوفر نقطة مرجعية بصرية لتحديد وضع السعر الحالي بالنسبة لمستويات الدعم والمقاومة.
- يساعد في تقييم ما إذا كان السعر يتحرك نحو اختراق (بالقرب من المقاومة) أو اختراق (بالقرب من الدعم).
- منقط: يُميزه النمط المنقط عن الخطوط العلوية والسفلية المتصلة، مما يُسهّل تمييزه بصريًا.
4. الاعتماد على تحليل الشموع اليابانية على مدى فترة زمنية محددة (ساعات البحث)
- تحليل الشموع اليابانية: يفحص المؤشر الشموع اليابانية لتحديد أيها الأكثر تأثيرًا على حركة السعر.
- الإطار الزمني (ساعات البحث):
- يُحدد المستخدم عدد الساعات (من 1 إلى 6) لتحليل الشموع، والذي يُحدد نطاق البيانات التي يعتمد عليها المؤشر.
- مثال: إذا كانت ساعات البحث = 3 والإطار الزمني = 30 دقيقة، فسيتم تحليل 6 شموع (3 ساعات ÷ 30 دقيقة).
- المرونة: يُمكن تعديل هذه الفترة لتناسب الأسواق المختلفة (مثل العملات المشفرة المتقلبة أو سوق الفوركس الأكثر استقرارًا).
5. تحديد الشمعة الأكثر أهمية بناءً على أنماط الشموع وحجم التداول
- الشمعة الأكثر أهمية: هي الشمعة التي يُعتقد أن لها التأثير الأكبر على حركة السعر بناءً على معايير محددة.
- أنماط الشموع:
- يتم تحليل الشموع باستخدام مكتبة أنماط الشموع (مثل شمعة الابتلاع، وشمعة المطرقة، وشمعة الدوجي).
- تُمنح أنماط الانعكاس (مثل نجمة الصباح، ونجم الشهاب) درجة أهمية عالية (100 نقطة) لأنها تُشير إلى تغيرات محتملة في الاتجاه.
- حجم التداول:
- يُقاس حجم تداول كل شمعة ويُقارن بالحد الأقصى والأدنى خلال الفترة.
- يُحسب الحجم كنسبة مئوية (0-100) ويُضاف إلى درجة النمط لتحديد الشمعة الأكثر أهمية.
- النتيجة: تُستخدم الشمعة ذات أعلى درجة (الأنماط + الحجم) لتحديد مستويات الدعم والمقاومة.
٦. الإطار الزمني
- الفاصل الزمني: يختار المستخدم إطارًا زمنيًا للشموع (١٥، ٣٠، أو ٦٠ دقيقة).
- الأهمية:
- يحدد عدد الشموع المُحللة خلال فترة ساعات البحث.
- يؤثر على دقة وسرعة الإشارات (الإطار الزمني الأقصر = إشارات أسرع ولكن أقل موثوقية؛ الإطار الزمني الأطول = إشارات أبطأ ولكن أكثر موثوقية).
- مثال: إذا كان الإطار الزمني ٦٠ دقيقة وساعات البحث ٣، فسيتم تحليل ٣ شموع فقط.
---
٧. رسم مستويات الاختراق وأهداف جني الأرباح (TP)
- مستويات الاختراق:
- الخط العلوي (المقاومة): يُرسم عند أعلى سعر للشمعة الأكثر أهمية ويُسمى "CALL".
- الخط السفلي (الدعم): يُرسم عند أدنى سعر للشمعة الأكثر أهمية ويُسمى "PUT".
- تمثل هذه الخطوط المستويات التي يُتوقع أن يؤدي فيها الاختراق إلى حركة سعرية قوية.
- أهداف جني الأرباح (TP):
- يتم حساب ما يصل إلى 8 مستويات جني أرباح صعودية (فوق الخط العلوي) وهبوطية (تحت الخط السفلي).
- يتم حسابها بناءً على نسبة مئوية (tpPercentage) تُضاف أو تُطرح من خطوط الأساس.
- مثال: إذا كانت نسبة جني الأرباح = 0.6% وكان أعلى سعر = 100، فإن هدف الربح الصعودي الأول = 100.6، وهدف الربح الثاني = 101.2، وهكذا.
- العلامات: تُرسم علامات لكل مستوى جني أرباح تشير إلى القيمة والمستوى (TP1، TP2، وهكذا).
---
8. إشارات الشراء والبيع
- إشارة الشراء (BUY):
- تُولّد عند اختراق السعر للخط العلوي (ta.crossover).
- تُرسم علامة "الشراء" مع إعادة رسم مستويات جني الأرباح.
- إشارة البيع (SELL):
- تُولّد عند اختراق السعر للخط السفلي (ta.crossunder). - يُرسم مؤشر "بيع" مع إعادة رسم مستويات جني الأرباح.
- الغرض: توفير إشارات واضحة للمتداول لاتخاذ قرارات دخول الصفقة.

Time-Weighted Price Action IndicatorThe Time-Weighted Price Action Indicator is a simple yet effective tool designed to detect consolidation zones based on time duration and highlight potential reversal points using a contrarian breakout logic. Instead of following traditional breakout strategies, this indicator aims to capitalize on false breakouts and reversal entries.
How It Works
• The indicator identifies a price range (zone) using a configurable lookback period.
• If the price remains within this range for a specified number of bars (threshold), a consolidation zone is confirmed.
• Once a breakout or breakdown from this zone occurs, the indicator triggers a reversed signal — suggesting a potential reversal instead of a trend-following entry.
• Support and resistance levels are marked visually, and BUY/SELL labels are plotted when price re-enters the zone, indicating potential exhaustion or traps.
Key Features
• ✅ Time-based consolidation detection
• ✅ Contrarian signal logic (Buy at breakdowns, Sell at breakouts)
• ✅ Dynamic zone plotting with support/resistance visualization
• ✅ Auto-reset after each breakout for fresh zone detection
• ✅ Visual labels and alerts for BUY/SELL signals
How to Use
• Ideal for range-bound markets or identifying trap zones around support/resistance.
• Use in conjunction with volume, momentum, or trend filters to refine entries.
• Can complement mean reversion strategies or be used as a signal confirmation tool.
Why This Combination?
This approach blends time-based consolidation logic with a contrarian price action perspective, offering traders a different lens to analyze markets. Instead of blindly following breakouts, it highlights areas where price rejections and false breakouts often occur — common in algorithm-driven markets.
Why It’s Worth Using
This indicator helps you stay ahead of trap zones, identify reversal spots, and understand price behavior in consolidation zones — a critical edge, especially in sideways or choppy markets. It adds context to price movement, helping traders avoid common breakout failures.
Note:
• No performance guarantees or exaggerated claims.
• No solicitation or promotional language used.
• This is a free, open-source educational tool meant to aid price action understanding.
TrendPredator PROThe TrendPredator PRO
Stacey Burke, a seasoned trader and mentor, developed his trading system over the years, drawing insights from influential figures such as George Douglas Taylor, Tony Crabel, Steve Mauro, and Robert Schabacker. His popular system integrates select concepts from these experts into a consistent framework. While powerful, it remains highly discretionary, requiring significant real-time analysis, which can be challenging for novice traders.
The TrendPredator indicators support this approach by automating the essential analysis required to trade the system effectively and incorporating mechanical bias and a multi-timeframe concept. They provide value to traders by significantly reducing the time needed for session preparation, offering all relevant chart analysis and signals for live trading in real-time.
The PRO version offers an advanced pattern identification logic that highlights developing context as well as setups related to the constellation of the signals provided. It provides real-time interpretation of the multi-timeframe analysis table, following an extensive underlying logic with more than 150 different setup variations specifically developed for the system and indicator. These setups are constantly back- and forward-tested and updated according to the results. This version is tailored to traders primarily trading this system and following the related setups in detail.
The former TrendPredator ES version does not provide that option. It is significantly leaner and is designed for traders who want to use the multi-timeframe logic as additional confluence for their trading style. It is very well suited to support many other trading styles, including SMC and ICT.
The Multi-timeframe Master Pattern
Inspired by Taylor’s 3-day cycle and Steve Mauro’s work with “Beat the Market Maker,” Burke’s system views markets as cyclical, driven by the manipulative patterns of market makers. These patterns often trap traders at the extremes of moves above or below significant levels with peak formations, then reverse to utilize their liquidity, initiating the next phase. Breakouts away from these traps often lead to range expansions, as described by Tony Crabel and Robert Schabacker. After multiple consecutive breakouts, especially after the psychological number three, overextension might develop. A break in structure may then lead to reversals or pullbacks. The TrendPredator Indicator and the related multi-timeframe trading system are designed to track these cycles on the daily timeframe and provide signals and trade setups to navigate them.
Bias Logic and Multi-Timeframe Concept
The indicator covers the basic signals of Stacey Burke's system:
- First Red Day (FRD): Bearish break in structure, signalling weak longs in the market.
- First Green Day (FGD): Bullish break in structure signalling weak shorts in the markt.
- Three Days of Longs (3DL): Overextension signalling potential weak longs in the market.
- Three Days of Shorts (3DS): Overextension signalling potential weak shorts in the market.
- Inside Day (ID): Contraction, signalling potential impulsive reversal or range expansion move.
It enhances the original system by introducing:
Structured Bias Logic:
Tracks bias by following how price trades concerning the last previous candle high or low that was hit. For example if the high was hit, we are bullish above and bearish below.
- Bullish state: Breakout (BO), Fakeout Low (FOL)
- Bearish state: Breakdown (BD), Fakeout High (FOH)
Multi-Timeframe Perspective:
- Tracks all signals across H4, H8, D, W, and M timeframes, to look for alignment and follow trends and momentum in a mechanical way.
Developing Context:
- Identifies specific predefined context states based on the monthly, weekly and daily bias.
Developing Setups:
- Identifies specific predefined setups based on context and H8 bias as well as SB signals.
The indicator monitors the bias and signals of the system across all relevant timeframes and automates the related graphical chart analysis as well as context and setup zone identification. In addition to the master pattern, the system helps to identify the higher timeframe situation and follow the moves driven by other timeframe traders to then identify favourable context and setup situations for the trader.
Example: Full Bullish Cycle on the Daily Timeframe with Multi-Timeframe Signals
- The Trap/Peak Formation
The market breaks down from a previous day’s and maybe week’s low—potentially after multiple breakdowns—but fails to move lower and pulls back up to form a peak formation low and closes as a first green day.
MTF Signals: Bullish daily and weekly fakeout low; three consecutive breakdown days (1W Curr FOL, 1D Curr FOL, BO 3S).
Context: Reversal (REV)
Setup: Fakeout low continuation low of day (FOL Cont LOD)
- Pullback and Consolidation
The next day pulls further up after first green day signal, potentially consolidates inside the previous day’s range.
MTF Signals: Fakeout low and first green day closing as an inside day (1D Curr IS, Prev FOL, First G).
Context: Reversal continuation (REV Cont)
Setup: Previous fakeout low continuation low handing fruit (Prev FOL Cont LHF)
- Range Expansion/Trend
The following day breaks up through the previous day’s high, launching a range expansion away from the trap.
MTF Signals: Bullish daily breakout of an inside day (1D Curr BO, Prev IS).
Context: Uptrend healthy (UT)
Setup: Breakout continuation low hanging fruit (BO Cont LHF)
- Overextension
After multiple consecutive breakouts, the market reaches a state of overextension, signalling a possible reversal or pullback.
MTF Signals: Three days of breakout longs (1D Curr BO, Prev BO, BO 3L).
Context: Uptrend extended (UT)
- Reversal
After a breakout of previous days high that fails, price pulls away from the high showing a rollover of momentum across all timeframes and a potential short setup.
MTF Signals: Three days of breakout longs, daily fakeout high (1D 3L, FOH)
Context: Reversal countertrend (REV)
Setup: Fakeout high continuation high of day (FOH Cont HOD)
Note: This is only one possible illustrative scenario; there are many variations and combinations.

Context and Setups examples:
Note: The signals shown along the move are manually added illustrations. The indicator shows these in realtime in the table at top and bottom right. This is only one possible scenario; there are many variations and combinations.
Due to the fractal nature of markets, this cycle can be observed across all timeframes. The strongest setups occur when there is multi-timeframe alignment. For example, a peak formation and potential reversal on the daily timeframe have higher probability and follow-through when they align with bearish signals on higher timeframes (e.g., weekly/monthly BD/FOH) and confirmation on lower timeframes (H4/H8 FOH/BD). With this perspective, the system enables the trader to follow the trend and momentum while identifying rollover points in a highly differentiated and precise way.
Using the Indicator for Trading
The automated analysis provided by the indicator can be used for thesis generation in preparation for a session as well as for live trading, leveraging the real-time updates as well as the context and setup indicated or alerted. It is recommended to customize the settings deeply, such as hiding the lower timeframes for thesis generation or the specific alert time window and settings to the specific trading schedule and playbook of the trader.
1. Context Assessment:
Evaluate alignment of higher timeframes (e.g., Month/Week, Week/Day). More alignment → Stronger setups.
- The context table offers an interpretation of the higher timeframe automatically. See below for further details.
2. Setup Identification:
Follow the bias of daily and H8 timeframes. A setup mostly requires alignment of these.
Setup Types:
- Trend Trade: Trade in alignment with the previous day’s trend.
Example: Price above the previous day’s high → Focus on long setups (dBO, H8 FOL) until overextension or reversal signs appear (H8 BO 3L, First R).
- Reversal Trade: Identify reversal setups when lower timeframes show rollovers after higher timeframe weakness.
Example: Price below the previous day’s high → Look for reversal signals at the current high of day (H8 FOH, BO 3L, First R).
- The setup table shows potential setups for the specific price zone in the table automatically. See below for further details.
3. Entry Confirmation:
Confirm entries based on H8 and H4 alignment, candle closes and lower timeframe fakeouts.
- H8 and H4 should always align for a final confirmation, meaning the breach lines should be both in the back of a potential trade setup.
- M15/ 5 candle close can be seen as acceptance beyond a level or within the setup zone.
- M15/5 FOH/ FOL signals lower timeframe traps potentially indicating further confirmation.
Example Chart Reversal Trade:
Context: REV (yellow), Reversal counter trend, Month in FOL with bearish First R, Week in BO but bearishly overextended with BO 3L, Day in Fakeout high reversing bearishly.
Setup: FOH Cont HOD (red), Day in Fakeout high after BO 3L overextension, confirmed by H8 FOH high of day, First R as further confluence. Two star quality and countertrend.
Entry: H4 BD, M15 close below followed by M15 FOH.
Detailed Features and Options
1. Context and Setup table
The Context and Setup Table is the core feature of the TrendPredator PRO indicator. It delivers real-time interpretation of the multi-timeframe analysis based on an extensive underlying logic table with over 150 variations, specifically developed for this system and indicator. This logic is continuously updated and optimized to ensure accuracy and performance.
1.1. Developing Context
States for developing higher timeframe context are determined based on signals from the monthly, weekly, and daily timeframes.
- Green and Red indicate alignment and potentially interesting developing setups.
- Yellow signals a mixed or conflicting bias, suggesting caution when taking trades.
The specific states are:
- UT (yellow): Uptrend extended
- UT (green): Uptrend healthy
- REV (yellow): Reversal day counter trend
- REV (green): Reversal day mixed trend
- REV Cont (green): Reversal continuation mixed trend
- REV Cont (yellow): Reversal continuation counter trend
- REV into UT (green): Reversal day into uptrend
- REV Cont into UT (green): Reversal continuation into uptrend
- UT Pullback (yellow): Counter uptrend breakdown day
- Conflicting (yellow): Conflicting signals
- Consolidating (yellow): Consolidating sideways
- Inside (yellow): Trading inside after an inside week
- DT Pullback (yellow): Counter downtrend breakout day
- REV Cont into DT (red): Reversal continuation into downtrend
- REV into DT (red): Reversal day into downtrend
- REV Cont (yellow): Reversal continuation counter trend
- REV Cont (red): Reversal continuation mixed trend
- REV (red): Reversal day mixed trend
- REV (yellow): Reversal day countertrend
- DT (red): Downtrend healthy
- DT (yellow): Downtrend extended
Example: Uptrend
The Uptrend Context (UT, green) indicates a healthy uptrend with all timeframes aligning bullishly. In this case, the monthly is in a Fakeout Low (FOL) and currently inside the range, while the weekly and daily are both in Breakout (BO) states. This context is favorable for developing long setups in the direction of the trend.
Example: Uptrend pullback
The Uptrend Pullback Context (UT Pullback, yellow) indicates a Breakdown (BD) on the daily timeframe against a higher timeframe uptrend. In this case, the monthly is in a Fakeout Low (FOL) and currently inside its range, the weekly is in Breakout (BO) and also currently inside, while the daily is in Breakdown (BD). This context reflects a conflicting situation—potentially signaling either an early reversal back into the uptrend or, if the breakdown extends, the beginning of a possible trend change.
Example: Reversal into Uptrend
The Reversal into Uptrend Context (REV into UT, green) indicates a lower timeframe reversal aligning with a higher timeframe uptrend. In this case, the monthly is in Breakout (BO), the weekly is in Breakout (BO) and currently inside its range, while the daily is showing a bullish Fakeout Low (FOL) reversal. This context is potentially very favorable for long setups, as it signals a strong continuation of the uptrend supported across multiple timeframes.
Example: Reversal
The Bearish Reversal Context indicates a lower timeframe rollover within an ongoing higher timeframe uptrend. In this case, the monthly remains in Breakout (BO), the weekly has shifted into a Fakeout High (FOH) after three weeks of breakout longs, and the daily is already in Breakdown (BD). This context suggests a potentially favorable developing short setup, as early signs of weakness appear across timeframes.
1.2. Developing Setup
The states for specific setups are based on the context and the signals from the daily timeframe and H8, indicating that price is in the zone of alignment. The setup description refers to the state of the daily timeframe, while the suffix relates to the H8 timeframe. For example, "prev FOH Cont LHF" means that the previous day is in FOH (Fakeout High) relative to yesterday's breakout level, currently trading inside, and we are in an H8 breakdown, indicating a potential LHF (Lower High Formation) short trade if the entry confirms. The suffix HOD means that H8 is in FOH or BO (Breakout).
The specific states are:
- REV HOD (red): Reversal high of day
- REV Cont LHF (red): Reversal continuation low hanging fruit
- BO Cont LHF (green): Breakout continuation low hanging fruit
- BO Cont LOD (green): Breakout continuation low of day
- FOH Cont HOD (red): Fakeout high continuation high of day
- FOH Cont LHF ((red): Fakeout high continuation low hanging fruit
- prev BD Cont HOD (red): Previous breakdown continuation high of day
- prev BD Cont LHF (red): Previous breakdown continuation low hanging fruit
- prev FOH Cont HOD (red): Previous fakeout high continuation high of day
- prev FOH Cont LHF (red): Previous fakeout high continuation low hanging fruit
- prev FOL Cont LOD (green): Previous fakeout low continuation low of day
- prev FOL Cont LHF (green): Previous fakeout low continuation low hanging fruit
- prev BO Cont LOD (green): Previous breakout continuation low of day
- prev BO Cont LHF (green): Previous breakout continuation low hanging fruit
- FOL Cont LHF (green): Fakeout low continuation low hanging fruit
- FOL Cont LOD (green): Fakeout low continuation low of day
- BD Cont LHF (red): BD continuation low hanging fruit
- BD Cont LOD (red): Breakdown continuation low of day
- REV Cont LHF (green): Reversal continuation low hanging fruit
- REV LOD (green): Reversal low of day
- Inside: Trading inside after an inside day
Type: Indicates the situation of the indicated setup concerning:
- Trend: Following higher timeframe trend
- Mixed: Mixed higher timeframe signals
- Counter: Against higher timeframe bias
Quality: Indicates the quality of the indicated setup according to the specified logic table
No star: Very low quality
* One star: Low quality
** Two star: Medium quality
*** Three star: High quality
Example: Breakout Continuation Trend Setup
This setup highlights a healthy uptrend where the month is in a breakout, the week is in a fakeout low, and the day is in a breakout after a first green day. As the H8 breaks out to the upside, a long setup zone is triggered, presenting a breakout continuation low-hanging fruit trade. This is a trend trade in an overextended situation on the H8, with an H8 3L, resulting in an overall quality rating of one star.
Example: Fakeout Low Continuation Trend Setup
This setup shows a reversal into uptrend, with the month in a breakout, the week in a breakout, and the day in a fakeout low after breaking down the previous day and now reversing back up. As H8 breaks out to the upside, a long setup zone is triggered, presenting a previous fakeout low continuation, low-hanging fruit trade. This is a medium-quality trend trade.
Example: Reversal Setup - Mixed Trend
This setup shows a reversal setup in line with the weekly trend, with the month in a fakeout low, the week in a fakeout high, and the day in a fakeout high after breaking out earlier in the day and now reversing back down. As H8 loses the previous breakout level after 3 breakouts (with H8 3L), a short setup zone is triggered, presenting a fakeout high continuation at the high of the day. This is a high-quality trade in a mixed trend situation.
Setup Alerts:
Alerts can be activated for setups freshly triggered on the chart within your trading window.
Detailed filter logic for setup alerts:
- Setup quality: 1-3 star
- Setup type: Counter, Mixed and Trend
- Setup category: e.g. Reversal Bearish, Breakout, Previous Fakeout High
- 1D BO and First signals: 3DS, 3DL, FRD, FGD, ID
Options:
- Alerts on/ off
- Alert time window (from/ to)
- Alert filter customization
Note: To activate alerts from a script in TradingView, some settings need to be adjusted. Open the "Create Alert" dialog and select the option "Any alert() function call" in the "Condition" section. Choose "TrendPredator PRO" to ensure that alerts trigger properly from the code. Alerts can be activated for entire watchlists or individual pairs. Once activated, the alerts run in the background and notify the user whenever a setup is freshly triggered according to the filter settings.
2. Multi-Timeframe Table
Provides a real-time view of system signals, including:
Current Timeframe (Curr): Bias states.
- Breakout (green BO): Bullish after breaking above the previous high.
- Fakeout High (red FOH): Bearish after breaking above the previous high but pulling back down.
- Breakdown (red BD): Bearish after breaking below the previous low.
- Fakeout Low (green FOL): Bullish after breaking below the previous low but pulling back up.
- Inside (IS): Price trading neutral inside the previous range, taking the previous bias (color indicates the previous bias).
Previous Timeframe (Prev): Tracks last candle bias state and transitions dynamically.
- Bias for last candle: BO, FOH, BD, FOL in respective colors.
- Inside bar (yellow IS): Indicated as standalone signal.
Note: Also previous timeframes get constantly updated in real time to track the bias state in relation to the level that was hit. This means a BO can still lose the level and become a FOH, and vice versa, and a BD can still become a FOL, and vice versa. This is critical to see for example if traders that are trapped in that timeframe with a FOH or FOL are released. An inside bar stays fixed, though, since no level was hit in that timeframe.
Breakouts (BO): Breakout count 3 longs and 3 shorts.
- 3 Longs (red 3L): Bearish after three breakouts without hitting a previous low.
- 3 Shorts (green 3S): Bullish after three breakdowns without hitting a previous high.
First Countertrend Close (First): Tracks First Red or Green Day.
- First Green (G): After two consecutive red closes.
- First Red (R): After two consecutive green closes.
Options: Customizable font size and label colors.
3. Historic Highs and Lows
Displays historic highs and lows per timeframe for added context, enabling users to track sequences over time.
Timeframes: H4, H8, D, W, M
Options: Customize for timeframes shown, number of historic candles per timeframe, colors, formats, and labels.
4. Previous High and Low Extensions
Displays extended previous levels (high, low, and close) for each timeframe to assess how price trades relative to these levels.
H4: P4H, P4L, P4C
H8: P8H, P8L, P8C

Options: Fully customizable for timeframes shown, colors, formats, and labels.
5. Breach Lines
Tracks live market reactions (e.g., breakouts or fakeouts) per timeframe for the last previous high or low that was hit, highlighting these levels originating at the breached candle to indicate bias (color-coded).
Red: Bearish below
Green: Bullish above
H4: 4FOL, 4FOH, 4BO, 4BD
H8: 8FOL, 8FOH, 8BO, 8BD
D: dFOL, dFOH, dBO, dBD

Overall Options:
Toggle single feature groups on/off.
Customize H8 open/close time as an offset to UTC to be provider independent.
Colour settings con be adjusted for dark or bright backgrounds.
Higher Timeframe Use Case Examples
Example Use Case: Weekly Template Analysis
The Weekly Template is a core concept in Stacey Burke’s trading style. The analysis is conducted on the daily timeframe, focusing on the higher timeframe bias and identifying overextended conditions within the week—such as multiple breakouts and peak formations signaling potential reversals.
In this example, the candles are colored by the TrendPredator FO indicator, which highlights the state of individual candles. This allows for precise evaluation of both the trend state and the developing weekly template. It is a valuable tool for thesis generation before a trading session and for backtesting purposes.
Example Use Case: High Timeframe 5-Star Setup Analysis (Stacey Burke "ain't coming back" ACB Template)
This analysis identifies high-probability trade opportunities when daily breakout or breakdown closes occur near key monthly levels mid-week, signaling overextensions and potentially large parabolic moves. The key signal to look for is a breakout or breakdown close on a Wednesday. This is useful for thesis generation before a session and also for backtesting.
In this example, the TrendPredator FO indicator colors the candles to highlight individual candle states, particularly those that close in breakout or breakdown. Additionally, an indicator is shown on the chart shading every Wednesday, making it easier to visually identify the signals.
5 Star Alerts:
Alerts can be activated for this potential 5-Star setup constellation. The alert is triggered when there is a breakout or breakdown close on a Wednesday.
Further recommendations:
- Higher timeframe context: TPO or volume profile indicators can be used to gain an even better overview.
- Late session trading: Entries later in the session, such as during the 3rd hour of the NY session, offer better analysis and follow-through on setups.
- Entry confirmation: Momentum indicators like VWAP, Supertrend, or EMA are helpful for increasing precision. Additionally, tracking lower timeframe fakeouts can provide powerful confluence. To track those the TrendPredator Fakeout Highlighter (FO), that has been specifically developed for this can be of great help:
Limitations:
Data availability using TradingView has its limitations. The indicator leverages only the real-time data available for the specific timeframe being used. This means it cannot access data from timeframes lower than the one displayed on the chart. For example, if you are on a daily chart, it cannot use H8 data. Additionally, on very low timeframes, the historical availability of data might be limited, making higher timeframe signals unreliable.
To address this, the indicator automatically hides the affected columns in these specific situations, preventing false signals.

This Pine Script implements a trading strategy called "Dynamic Breakout Master" 💥. The core idea of the strategy is to identify breakouts (price movements) at key support 💙 and resistance 🔴 levels, through a dynamic channel that adapts to the market’s conditions. Here's how it works:
🔧 Customizable Input Parameters:
🧭 Pivot Period: This defines the number of bars (candles) to the left and right used to detect pivots (highs and lows) that mark the support and resistance zones.
📊 Data Source: You can choose whether to use highs and lows or closes and opens of the candles to identify the pivots.
📏 Max Channel Width: Specifies the maximum width allowed for the support/resistance channel, expressed as a percentage over the last 300 bars.
💪 Minimum Pivot Strength: This defines the minimum number of pivots needed for a support or resistance level to be considered valid.
🏔 Max Support/Resistance Zones: Limits the number of key zones displayed on the chart.
📅 Lookback Period: Adjusts how many bars back the system should check to find and validate support and resistance levels.
🎨 Custom Colors: You can choose colors for the support, resistance, and in-channel zones.
📉 Moving Averages (MA): The strategy allows adding up to two moving averages (SMA or EMA) to assist in making trading decisions.
📊 Calculating Support/Resistance Levels:
The system uses an algorithm to identify pivots from prices and calculates dynamic support and resistance zones 🔒🔓.
The closer the pivots are and the stronger their influence, the more relevant the zone becomes for the strategy.
The dynamic channel is drawn on the chart, with a maximum width limit for these zones defined by the input parameter.
📈 Trading Logic:
🚀 Identifying Breakouts:
The strategy looks for when the price breaks (breakouts) a resistance or support level.
If the price breaks upward through the resistance level, a buy order 📈 is triggered.
If the price breaks downward through the support level, a sell order 📉 is triggered.
🔔 Alerts:
Resistance Break (ResBreak) and Support Break (SupBreak) alerts are configured to notify users when a significant breakout occurs.
💰 Commissions:
The strategy includes a commission (0.1%) to simulate transaction costs for each trade.
📊 Chart Visualization:
The support and resistance zones are displayed as colored rectangles:
🔴 Resistance (red) and
🔵 Support (blue).
Pivots of support and resistance can be labeled as P (for resistance) and V (for support).
Breakouts of support or resistance levels are marked with triangles that appear on the chart 🔺🔻.
📈 Trading Strategy:
If the price breaks upward through the resistance level, a long position (buy) 📈 is opened.
If the price breaks downward through the support level, a short position (sell) 📉 is opened.
🏆 Conclusion:
This script is a dynamic breakout strategy 💥 that allows traders to capture significant price movements when support or resistance channels break. The customizable parameters let users fine-tune the strategy according to their preferences, while the visual alerts on the chart make it easier to follow trading opportunities. The inclusion of moving averages and key price zones adds an extra layer of analysis to improve decision-making 💡.
[COG] Advanced School Run StrategyAdvanced School Run Strategy (ASRS) – Explanation
Overview: The Advanced School Run Strategy (ASRS) is an intraday trading approach designed to identify breakout opportunities based on specific time and price patterns. This script applies the concepts of the Advanced School Run Strategy as outlined in Tom Hougaard's research, adapted to work seamlessly on TradingView charts. It leverages 5-minute candlestick data to set actionable breakout levels and provides traders with visual cues and alerts to make informed decisions.
Features:
Dynamic Breakout Levels: Automatically calculates high and low levels based on the market's behavior during the initial trading minutes.
Custom Visualization: Highlights breakout zones with customizable colors and transparency, providing clear visual feedback for bullish and bearish breakouts.
Configurable Alerts: Includes alert conditions for both bullish and bearish breakouts, ensuring traders never miss a trading opportunity.
Reset Logic: Resets breakout levels daily at the market open to ensure accurate signal generation for each session.
How It Works:
The script identifies key levels (high and low) after a configurable number of minutes from the market open (default: 25 minutes).
If the price breaks above the high level or below the low level, a corresponding breakout is detected.
The script draws breakout zones on the chart and triggers alerts based on the breakout direction.
All levels and signals reset at the start of each new trading session, maintaining relevance to current market conditions.
Customization Options:
Line and box colors for bullish and bearish breakouts.
Transparency levels for breakout visualizations.
Alert settings to receive notifications for detected breakouts.

Breaks and Retests - Free990Strategy Description: "Breaks and Retests - Free990"
The "Breaks and Retests - Free990" strategy is based on identifying breakout and retest opportunities for potential entries in both long and short trades. The idea is to detect price breakouts above resistance levels or below support levels, and subsequently identify retests that confirm the breakout levels. The strategy offers an automated approach to enter trades after a breakout followed by a retest, which serves as a confirmation of trend continuation.
Key Components:
Support and Resistance Detection:
The strategy calculates pivot levels based on historical price movements to define support and resistance areas. A lookback range is used to determine these key levels.
Breakouts and Retests:
The system identifies when a breakout occurs above a resistance level or below a support level.
It then waits for a retest of the previously broken level as confirmation, which is often a better entry opportunity.
Trade Direction Selection:
Users can choose between "Long Only," "Short Only," or "Both" directions for trading based on their market view.
Stop Loss and Trailing Stop:
An initial stop loss is placed at a defined percentage away from the entry.
The trailing stop loss is activated after the position gains a specified percentage in profit.
Long Entry:
A long entry is triggered if the price breaks above a resistance level and subsequently retests that level successfully.
The entry condition checks if the breakout was confirmed and if a retest was valid.
The long entry is only executed if the user-selected direction is either "Long Only" or "Both."
Short Entry:
A short entry is triggered if the price breaks below a support level and subsequently retests that level.
The short entry is only executed if the user-selected direction is either "Short Only" or "Both."
sell_condition checks whether the support has been broken and whether the retest condition is valid.
An initial stop loss is placed when the trade is opened to limit the risk if the trade moves against the position.
The stop loss is calculated based on a user-defined percentage (stop_loss_percent) of the entry price.
pinescript
Copy code
stop_loss_price := strategy.position_avg_price * (1 - stop_loss_percent / 100)
For long positions, the stop loss is placed below the entry price.
For short positions, the stop loss is placed above the entry price.
Trailing Stop:
When a position achieves a certain profit threshold (profit_threshold_percent), the trailing stop mechanism is activated.
For long positions, the trailing stop follows the highest price reached, ensuring that some profit is locked in if the price reverses.
For short positions, the trailing stop follows the lowest price reached.
Code Logic for Trailing Stop:
Exit Execution:
The strategy exits the position when the price hits the calculated stop loss level.
This includes both the initial stop loss and the trailing stop that adjusts as the trade progresses.
Code Logic for Exit:
Summary:
Breaks and Retests - Free990 uses support and resistance levels to identify breakouts, followed by retests for confirmation.
Entry Points: Triggered when a breakout is confirmed and a retest occurs, for both long and short trades.
Exit Points:
Initial Stop Loss: Limits risk for both long and short trades.
Trailing Stop Loss: Locks in profits as the price moves in favor of the position.
This strategy aims to capture the momentum after breakouts and minimize losses through effective use of stop loss and trailing stops. It gives the flexibility of selecting trade direction and ensures trades are taken with confirmation through the retest, which helps to reduce false breakouts.
