PCCE + False Breakout Detector

🔍 PCCE + False Breakout Detector | Identify Real Breakouts, Avoid the Traps

Built for: Breakout traders, volatility watchers, and anyone tired of chasing fake moves.

⸻

🧠 What This Script Does:

This tool combines Price Coil Compression & Expansion (PCCE) with a real-time False Breakout Detector to help traders:
1. Anticipate breakout moves by detecting early signs of volatility contraction.
2. Confirm breakout strength using volume and price behavior filters.
3. Avoid false signals by flagging traps when price breaks a key level but fails to follow through.

This is not just a mashup of two concepts — it’s a complementary system that gives traders both a setup and a validation layer, working in tandem.

🔧 How It Works (without revealing source logic):

🌀 PCCE – Compression Breakout Engine
• Detects tight coil zones based on shrinking candle bodies, wick-to-body dominance, and compressed range.
• Highlights these zones visually (gray boxes) on the chart.
• Triggers “Burst↑” or “Burst↓” signals only when price breaks out with:
• Candle body > average × multiplier
• Volume > average × multiplier
• (Optional) EMA trend alignment
• Cooldown logic prevents signal clustering.

🚫 False Breakout Detection
• Monitors swing highs/lows from a configurable lookback period.
• Flags bull traps (❌ red) or bear traps (❌ green) if breakout attempts fail within a few bars.
• These traps often precede reversals or signal exhaustion.

✅ Why This Isn’t Just Another Mashup

While compression and fakeouts are well-known concepts, this script:
• Derives coil logic dynamically (not from fixed ranges or Bollinger Bands),
• Uses behavior-based filters (body strength, volume thrust, wick dominance),
• And adds real-time trap detection to confirm or invalidate expansions.

The combination provides both signal anticipation and validation, reducing whipsaws and improving decision-making.

⸻

📊 How to Use:
1. Wait for compression zones to appear → prepare for potential expansion.
2. Follow Burst↑/↓ signals only if supported by trend/volume.
3. If ❌ markers appear, be cautious — price may reverse or become range-bound.
4. Ideal for 15m–4H charts, especially in BTC, ETH, indices, and trending assets.

🧠 Final Thought

Breakouts without structure are noise. This tool brings structure, confirmation, and trap detection into one cohesive framework — for those who prefer precision over hope.
