Breakouts With DXY Filter Strategy [LuciTech]

This advanced breakout strategy combines pivot-based breakout detection with an innovative DXY (US Dollar Index) inverse correlation filter to enhance trade selection quality. The strategy identifies breakouts from recent pivot highs and lows while using DXY movements as a confirmation filter, based on the principle that USD strength/weakness often inversely correlates with other asset movements.

Key Features

DXY Inverse Correlation Filter
- Smart USD Filter: Uses DXY movements to confirm breakout signals
- Inverse Logic: Long signals require DXY bearishness, short signals require DXY bullishness

How It Works
1. Breakout Detection: The script continuously monitors for closes above recent pivot highs or below recent pivot lows
2. DXY Confirmation: When a breakout occurs, the script checks if DXY is moving in the opposite direction with sufficient momentum
3. MA Filter: If enabled, ensures the breakout aligns with the overall trend direction
4. Time Filter: Validates that the signal occurs within the specified trading hours
5. Risk Calculation: Automatically calculates position size based on the defined risk percentage and stop loss distance
6. Trade Execution: Places trades with predetermined stop loss and take profit levels
