Fake breakHi Traders,
I've developed an indicator which can detect fake-breaks on the chart.
In the following you'll find the definition of the fake break candles and also you will find how to recognize it on the chart with practical examples.
What is the fake break pattern?
Sometimes support and resistance lines broke with a full body and strong candles that gives us the idea of sharp movements on the chart but suddenly the next candle returns all the path of the previous candle. in this case we can say fake break is happening on the chart.
This indicator detect fake break patterns based on two criteria:
1. It uses AverageTrueRange indicator to measure the strength of the pattern.
2. The returning candle should engulf minimum 75% of the break candle.
This indicator plot 2 terms in the name of "FB-D" and "FB-U" that are abbreviations of the "Fake Break Down" and "Fake Break Up".
You can also set alerts to get notified when fake breakout happens on the chart.
Notice: This pattern is only acceptable in valid support and resistance zones and you can not rely on it everywhere on the chart (specially in the middle of the waves).
Notice: The source code of this indicator is open and you are allowed to use it on your scripts by mentioning the name of author.
Disclaimer: This is not a financial advice or any signal to buy or sell, the goal of developing such an indicator is to use for educational purposes.

Bollinger Bands Breakout Oscillator [LuxAlgo]The Bollinger Bands Breakout Oscillator is an oscillator returning two series quantifying the significance of breakouts between the price and the extremities of the Bollinger Bands indicator.
Settings
Length: Period of the Bollinger Bands indicator
Mult: Controls the width of the Bollinger Bands
Src: Input source of the indicator
Usage
Each series is calculated by summing the distance between price and a respective Bollinger Bands extremity in the case price is outside this extremity and divided by the sum of the absolute distance between price and a respective extremity. This sum is done over the most recent Length bars.
Bullish breakouts are represented by the green areas of the indicator, while bearish breakouts are represented by the red areas of the indicator.
The oscillator can determine the presence of an uptrend when the bullish area is superior to the bearish area, while a downtrend is indicated by a bearish area being superior to the bullish one. The significance of the breakout is determined by the amplitude of each area, with higher amplitudes indicating more significant breakouts or strong trends.
Using higher Mult values would naturally return wider bands, which would induce less frequent breakouts, this would be highlighted by the oscillator.
In the chart above we can see the oscillator using a multiplicative factor of 2.
Moving Regression Band Breakout strategyFollowing the introduction of the Moving Regression Prediction Bands indicator (see link below), I'd like to propose how to utilize it in a simple band breakout strategy :
Go long after the candle closes above the upper band . The lower band (alternatively, the lower band minus the 14-period ATR or the central line ) will serve as a support line .
Exit as soon as the candle closes below the support line .
To manage the risk of false breakouts, a fixed stop loss is set to the value of the support line at the time of opening a position. When the support line moves above the position opening price, shift the stop loss to breakeven.
The same logic but in reverse applies to short positions.
As an option, it is possible to allow long entries only when the slope of the Moving Regression curve is positive (and short entries when the slope is negative).
Model parameters:
Length and Polynomial Order define the lag and smoothness of the model.
Multiplier specifies the width of the channel.
As the default model parameter values, I set those that I found to provide optimal risk / reward ratio on the daily timeframe (for both trending and range-bound market). However, the settings are very flexible and can be well-adjusted to particular market conditions. Feel free to play around and leave feedback in the comments!
Here's the original Moving Regression Prediction Bands script:
[blackcat] L2 Ehlers Hilbert Channel Breakout Trading SystemLevel: 2
Background
John F. Ehlers introuced Hilbert Channel Breakout Trading System in Nov, 2000.
Function
This indicator will show how the adaptive filter is being applied to a trading strategy. After the Hilbert Channel Breakout Signal is optimized, set the inputs for this indicator to match the corresponding inputs for the signal.
In the March 2000 STOCKS & COMMODITIES, John Ehlers published a algorithm for the Hilbert cycle period, an indicator that plots the length of the current market cycle. The Hilbert transform achieved computational efficiency by using a two-dimensional numbering system. Unfortunately, this introduces amplitude error in calculating the quadrature component. Dr. Ehlers compensated for this error. He have updated the method of compensating for the amplitude error by applying a straight-line compensation term using the frequency calculation from one bar ago. This is possible because the cycle period cannot change drastically from bar to bar. The slowly varying cycle period is adequate to do a good job of amplitude compensation.
In addition, Dr. Ehlers have used a different way to compute the cycle period. He used a homodyne discriminator because it exhibits superior performance in a low signal-to-noise environment. Homodyne means he used the signal multiplied by itself one bar ago to produce a zero-frequency beat note. This beat note carries the phase angle of the one-bar change. Still using the basic definition of a cycle, the one-bar rate of change of phase is exactly the cycle period.
Here is the pine v4 code to generate the signals in the Hilbert channel breakout trading system, as discussed in Dr. Ehlers article in this issue, "Optimizing With Hilbert Indicators." The signal itself is a simple channel breakout system that generates buy and exit signals, that shows whether the system is long or flat; the high of the bar and the value of the entry channel; and the low of the bar and the value of the exit channel. This helps you see on a bar-by-bar basis exactly how the system is behaving.

Pros and Cons

L1 Breakout IndicatorLevel: 1
Background
A breakout refers to when the price of an asset moves above a resistance area or below a support area. Breakouts indicate that the price may be trending in the direction of the breakout.
Function
L1 Breakout Indicator utilizes highest() and lowest() functions to define breakout levels. Use ema() to draw a trade line to detect the distance to breakout points. By doing that, you will know whether is overbought or oversold. Then, by applying a set of simple threshold inputs, you can locate the long and short entries points.
Key Signal

Trend Following BreakoutEasy Trend Following Strategy using Highs and Lows breakout of the last X candles to enter and exit trades.
You can easily change the ENTRY and EXIT value in order to find the best settings.
This strategy seems to be working well for $BTC and $ETH on the 4H and 1D.
I didn't play with it too much as I am testing script to trade on the 15 minutes chart with margin. This script can't do this successfully but I hope it can be helpful for what you want to achieve.

BEST Long Term Levels Breakout ScreenerHello traders
Continuing deeper and stronger with the screeners' educational serie one more time (#daft #punk #private #joke)
We don't have to wait for TradingView to allow screener based on custom indicator - we can build our own ^^
I - Long Terms concept
I had the idea from @scarff.
I think it's genius and I use this long terms level in my trading across all assets.
The screener, in particular, analyzes whenever the price breaks out a weekly/monthly/quarterly/yearly level on candle close .
Triggering events on candle close = we get rid of the REPAINTING = we remove the fake signals (in that case the fake breakouts).
The candle close is based on the close of the current chart => if the chart displays candlesticks on the weekly timeframe, then the considered close will be the weekly close.
If in daily timeframe, the close will be .............................. 4h (#wrong)..... kidding :) .............. DAILY obviously
II - How did I set the screener
The visual signals are as follow:
- square: breakout of a high/low weekly level
- circle: breakout of a high/low monthly level
- diamond: breakout of a high/low quarterly level
- flag: breakout of a high/low yearly level
- dash: none of the above
Then the colors are:
- green when bullish
- red when bearish
- orange/dash when none of the above
Cool Hacks
"But sir... what can we do with only 3 instruments for a screener?" I agree not much but...
As said previously... you can add multiple times the same indicator on a chart :)
Wishing you all the BEST trading and.... wait for it... BEST weekend

CUSUM Volatility BreakoutCUSUM Volatility Breakout A statistical trend-detection and volatility-breakout indicator that identifies subtle momentum shifts earlier than traditional tools.
OVERVIEW
The CUSUM control chart is a statistical tool designed to detect small, gradual shifts from a target value. In trading, it helps identify the early stages of a trend, giving traders a heads-up before momentum becomes obvious on standard price charts. By spotting these subtle movements, the CUSUM Volatility Breakout indicator (CUSUM VB) can highlight potential breakout opportunities earlier than traditional indicators. In other words, a statistical trend detection & breakout indicator.
Copyright © 2025 CoinOperator
HOW IT WORKS
CUSUM VB uses a combination of differenced price series, volume normalization, and dynamic control limits:
CUSUM Principle: Tracks cumulative deviations of price from a zero reference. Signals occur when cumulative deviations exceed a control limit shown on the chart and clears any enabled filters.
Adaptive Volatility: H adjusts automatically based on short- vs long-term ATR ratios, allowing faster detection during volatile periods and reduced false signals in calm markets.
Volume Weighting (optional): Amplifies price CUSUM values during high-volume bars to prioritize market participation strength.
ATR Confirmation (optional): Ensures breakouts are accompanied by expanded volatility.
Bollinger Band Squeeze Integration (optional): Confirms trend breakouts by detecting volatility contraction and release shown on the chart as triangles.
Signals:
Arrows on the price chart mark the bars where trades are actually filled, based on conditions detected on the prior signal bar.
Long Entry: Confirmed positive CUSUM breach (price & volume) with BB breakout (signal bar).
Short Entry: Confirmed negative CUSUM breach (price & volume) with BB breakout (signal bar).
Exit Signals: Triggered automatically by opposite-side signals.
Alerts, when created, fire on the bars where fills occur.
CHART COMPONENTS
CUSUM Upper Price (CU Price) and CUSUM Lower Price (CL Price) are green/red circles for confirmed signals.
● Rapid upward accumulation of CU Price indicates a developing bullish trend.
● Rapid downward accumulation of CL Price indicates a developing bearish trend.
Decision/Control limits (UCL/LCL, red)
Zero line (reference for the differenced price series baseline)
Optional BB triangles and volume CUSUM
SETUP AND CONFIGURATION
Differenced Price Series
Differenced Price Length and Lag
Increase differencing lag or window length → Increases variance of residuals → Wider control limits (UCL/LCL) → Slower to trigger.
Decrease lag or window → Tighter limits, more responsive to short-term regime shifts.
CUSUM Parameters
Volume-Weighted CUSUM
NOTE : Uses price length if 'Confirm Price with Volume' is disabled, otherwise will use volume length.
Amplifies CUSUM price responses during high-volume bars and reduces them during low-volume bars. This links trend detection to market participation strength.
Volume-Weighted CUSUM doesn’t replace price confirmation with volume; it modulates it by volume intensity, amplifying price signals when participation is strong and suppressing them when weak.
Recommended when analyzing assets with consistent volume patterns (e.g., stocks, major futures).
Disable for low-liquidity or irregular-volume instruments (e.g., crypto pairs, small-cap stocks).
ATR Confirmation
Enable this feature to confirm CUSUM signals only when price deviations are accompanied by higher-than-normal volatility. The indicator compares current ATR to a smoothed ATR to detect volatility expansion. This helps distinguish true breakouts from low-volatility noise and reduces false signals during quiet periods.
Adjust the ATR lookback length, smoothing length, and expansion factor to control sensitivity. Rule of thumb:
ATR Length ≈ 0.5 × differenced price length to 1.5 × differenced price length gives balanced sensitivity.
ATR Smoothing 5–10 bars.
ATR Expansion 5% to 50%.
CUSUM Input Mode
Select how CUSUM processes differenced price and log-normalized volume — either directly (Txfrm Data) or as deviations from a short-term EMA baseline (Residuals):
Txfrm Data = transformed input: differenced price & log-normalized volume as input for CUSUM (larger swings, more frequent control limit breaches)
Residuals = deviation from short-term EMA baseline (smaller swings, fewer control limit breaches, but higher signal quality).
Residual EMA Length: Defines how quickly the residual baseline adapts to recent differenced price moves. Shorter = more reactive; longer = smoother baseline. Keep EMA length moderate; over-smoothing can distort timing.
Control Sensitivity (K)
Increase K → Less sensitive → CUSUM accumulates slower → Fewer signals, captures only major trends.
Decrease K → More sensitive → CUSUM accumulates faster → More signals, captures minor swings too.
Reset Mode : Method of resetting CUSUM values.
Immediate Reset: Reset both immediately after any signal breach. Traditional SPC.
Opposite-Side Reset: Reset only the opposite side when a valid signal fires. Best for ongoing trend tracking.
Decay Reset: Gradually reduce CUSUM values toward zero with a decay factor each bar. Maintains trend memory but allows slow “forgetting.”
Threshold Reset: Reset only if CUSUM returns below a small threshold (10 % of H). Filters noise without full wipe.
No Reset / Continuous: Never reset; instead track running totals. Long-term cumulative bias measurement.
Conflict Handling : Method of handling conflicting signals.
Ignore Both: Discards both when overlap occurs.
Prioritize Latest: Chooses the direction implied by the most recent close.
Prioritize Stronger: Compares absolute magnitudes of CU Price vs CL Price.
Average Resolve: Looks at the difference; small overlap → ignore, otherwise pick direction by sign.
Sequential Confirm: Requires N consecutive same-direction signals before confirmation.
Volume Parameters (Optional)
Amplification Factor
Adjusts volume sensitivity and effectively rescales the log series of volume to a comparable magnitude with price changes.
Since price and volume are normalized in a compatible way, the amplification factor is used instead of independent K and H values for volume.
Bollinger Bands (Optional)
Lookback Synchronization
BB Lookback (for CUSUM): Number of bars that define a window for the BB signal to look back for the CUSUM signal.
CUSUM Lookback (for BB): Number of bars that define a window for the CUSUM signal to look back for the BB signal.
Both can be enabled for stricter alignment.
Relationship Between K, H, ARL₀ and ARL₁
H (max) is usually the only H you need to adjust. With everything else being constant, increasing either K or H (max) generally increases both ARL₀ and ARL₁ : higher thresholds reduce false alarms but slow detection, and lower thresholds do the opposite.
Increase Min Target ARL ratio →
ARL₀ increases (safer, fewer false alarms)
ARL₁ decreases or stays small (faster detection)
Control limits slightly expand to achieve separation
Strategy becomes more selective and stable
Decrease Min Target ARL ratio →
ARL₀ decreases (more false alarms tolerated)
ARL₁ increases (slower detection tolerated)
Control limits tighten
Strategy becomes more sensitive but lower quality
The ARL Ratio of ARL₀ / ARL₁ is typically between 3 and 8. This implies you want your ARL₀ (false-alarm interval) ≈ 'Min Target ARL ratio' × differenced price length window.
Example:
"Min Target ARL ratio = 4.0"
⇒ implies you want your ARL₀ (false-alarm interval) ≈ 4 × differenced price length.
Assume price length = 50 (typical differencing window).
ARL ratio = 4.0 → target ARL = 4 × 50 = 200 bars.
● On a 6-hour chart (≈4 bars/day) → ~50 days between expected false alarms (on average).
● On a daily chart → ~200 trading days between false alarms (very conservative).
ARL ratio = 8.0 → target ARL = 400 bars → twice as infrequent signals vs ratio=4.
ARL ratio = 2.0 → target ARL = 100 bars → about half the inter-signal interval.
Another way to think about it: probability of a false alarm on any bar ≈ 1 / target ARL. If you want ~1% of bars producing alarms, target ARL ≈ 100.
QUICK START
Start with the defaults.
Set price series → length/order/lag
Configure CUSUM thresholds → K, H min/max
1. Adjust the price differencing lag/window.
2. Verify that it captures real price inflection points without overreacting to bar noise.
Enable optional filters → Volume, ATR, BB
The optional Bollinger Bands squeeze usually works best if used with CUSUM Input Mode = Txfrm Data.
Monitor CUSUM chart → CU Price, CL Price, thresholds, zero line
Act on signals → data window / chart triangles
Adjust sensitivity → H (max), K, lengths
Monitor ARL ratio and CUSUM behavior for fine-tuning
Note : When you’ve finalized the length, lag, and order of the Price Difference, as well as the Ln(Vol) Series of “Confirm Price with Volume” if enabled, then pass both through the Augmented Dickey–Fuller (ADF) mean reversion test to ensure they are stationary, i.e., mean reverting. You can find a ready-made indicator for such use at . Many thanks to tbtkg for this indicator.

ATR ZigZag BreakoutATR ZigZag Breakout
This strategy uses my ATR ZigZag indicator (powered by the ZigZagCore library) to scalp breakouts at volatility-filtered highs and lows.
Everyone knows stops cluster around clear swing highs and lows. Breakout traders often pile in there, too. These levels are predictable areas where aggressive orders hit the tape. The idea here is simple:
→ Let ATR ZigZag define clean, volatility-filtered pivots
→ Arm a stop market order at those pivots
→ Join the breakout when the crowd hits the level
The key to greater success in this simple strategy lies in the ZigZag. Because the pivots are filtered by ATR instead of fixed bar counts or fractals, the levels tend to be more meaningful and less noisy.
This approach is especially suited for intraday trading on volatile instruments (e.g., NQ, GC, liquid crypto pairs).
How It Works
1. Pivot detection
The ATR ZigZag uses an ATR-based threshold to confirm swing highs and lows. Only when price has moved far enough in the opposite direction does a pivot become “official.”
2. Candidate breakout level
When a new swing direction is detected and the most recent high/low has not yet been broken in the current leg, the strategy arms a stop market order at that pivot.
• Long candidate → most recent swing high
• Short candidate → most recent swing low
These “candidate trades” are shown as dotted lines.
3. Entry, SL, and TP
If price breaks through the level, the stop order is filled and a bracket is placed:
• Stop loss = ATR × SL multiplier
• Take profit = SL distance × RR multiplier
Once a level has traded, it is not reused in the same swing leg.
4. Cancel & rotate
If the market reverses and forms a new swing in the opposite direction before the level is hit, the pending order is cancelled and a new candidate is considered in the new direction.
Additional Features
• Optional session filter for backtesting specific trading hours

Heatmap Trailing Stop with Breakouts (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Heatmap Trailing Stop with Breakouts (Zeiierman) is a trend and breakout detection tool that combines dynamic trailing stop logic, Fibonacci-based levels, and a real-time market heatmap into a single, intuitive system.
This indicator is designed to help traders visualize pressure zones, manage stop placement, and identify breakout opportunities supported by contextual price–derived heat. Whether you're trailing trends, detecting reversals, or entering on explosive breakouts — this tool keeps you anchored in structure and sentiment.
It projects adaptive trailing stop levels and calculates Fibonacci extensions from swing-based extremes. These levels are then colored by a market heatmap engine that tracks price interaction intensity — showing where the market is "hot" and likely to respond.
On top of that, it includes breakout signals powered by HTF momentum conditions, trend direction, and heatmap validation — giving you signals only when the context is strong.
█ How It Works
⚪ Trailing Stop Engine
At its core, the script uses an ATR-based trailing stop with trend detection:
ATR Length – Defines volatility smoothing using EMA MA of true range.
Multiplier – Expands/retracts the trailing offset depending on market aggression.
Real-Time Extremum Tracking – Uses local highs/lows to define Fibonacci anchors.
⚪ Fibonacci Projection + Heatmap
With each trend shift, Fibonacci levels are projected from the new swing to the current trailing stop. These include:
Fib 61.8, 78.6, 88.6, and 100% (trailing stop) lines
Heatmap Coloring – Each level'slevel's color is determined by how frequently price has interacted with that level in the recent range (defined by ATR).
Strength Score (1–10) – The number of touches per level is normalized and averaged to create a heatmap ""score"" displayed as a colored bar on the chart.
⚪ Breakout Signal System
This engine detects high-confidence breakout signals using a higher timeframe candle structure:
Bullish Breakout – Strong bullish candle + momentum + trend confirmation + heatmap score threshold.
Bearish Breakout – Strong bearish candle + momentum + trend confirmation + heatmap score threshold.
Cooldown Logic – Prevents signals from clustering too frequently during volatile periods.
█ How to Use
⚪ Trend Following & Trail Stops
Use the Trailing Stop line to manage positions or time entries in line with trend direction. Trailing stop flips are highlighted with dot markers.
⚪ Fibonacci Heat Zones
The projected Fibonacci levels serve as price magnets or support/resistance zones. Watch how price reacts at Fib 61.8/78.6/88.6 levels — especially when they're glowing with high heatmap scores (more glow = more historical touches = stronger significance).
⚪ Breakout Signals
Enable breakout signals when you want to trade breakouts only under strong context. Use the "Heatmap Strength Threshold" to require a minimum score (1–10).
█ Settings
Stop Distance ATR Length – ATR period for volatility smoothing
Stop Distance Multiplier – Adjusts the trailing stop'sstop's distance from price
Heatmap Range ATR Length – Defines how far back the heatmap scans for touches
Number of Heat Levels – Total levels used in the heatmap (more = finer resolution)
Minimum Touches per Level – Defines what counts as a ""hot"" level
Heatmap Strength Threshold – Minimum average heat score (1–10) required for breakouts
Timeframe – HTF source used to evaluate breakout momentum structure

Trendline Breakout Navigator [LuxAlgo]The Trendline Breakout Navigator indicator shows three trendlines, representing trends of different significance between Swing Points.
Dots highlight a Higher Low (HL) or Lower High (LH) that pierces through the Trendline without the closing price breaking the Trendline.
A bar color and background color option is included, which offers insights into the price against the trendlines.
🔶 USAGE
Trendlines (TL) are drawn, starting as a horizontal line from a Swing Point.
When an HL (in the case of a bullish TL) or an LH (bearish TL) is found, this Swing Point is connected to the first Swing Point. In both cases, the TL can be optimized when one or more historical close prices breach the TL (see DETAILS).
A solid-styled long-term trendline represents the overall market direction, while a dashed-styled medium-term trendline captures medium-term movements within the long-term trend. Finally, a dotted-styled short-term trendline tracks short-term fluctuations.
🔹 Swing Points vs. Trend
A "Higher High" (HH) or "Lower Low" (LL) will initialize a new trendline, respectively, starting from the previous "Swing Low" or Swing High".
To spot the trend shift, "HH/LL" labels and an optional background color are included. They can be enabled/disabled or set at "Long, Medium, or Short" term TL (Settings—"MS", "HH/LL" and "Background Color").
These features are linked to one Trendline of choice only.
Where the "HH/LL" labels can show a potential trend shift, the background color is:
Green from the moment the close price breaks above a bearish trendline or when an HH occurs
Red from the moment the close price breaks below a bullish trendline or when an LL occurs
🔹 Bar Color
The bar color will depend on the location of the closing price against the three trendlines. When a trendline is unavailable (for example, if the close price breaks the TL and there is no HH/LL), the last known trendline value will be considered.
All three trendlines influence the bar color.
If the close price is above the "Long Term" TL, the bar color will show a gradient of green, darker when the close price is below the "Medium Term" and/or "Short Term" TLs.
On the other hand, when the close price is below the "Long Term" TL, the bar color will show a gradient of red, which becomes darker when the close price is above the "Medium Term" and/or "Short Term" TLs.
To keep the above example simple, only the "Long Term" TL is considered. The white line (not included in the script) resembles the actual value of the TL at each bar, where you can see the effect on the bar color.
Combined with the trendlines and dots, the bar color can provide extra depth and insights into the underlying trends.
🔹 Tested Trendlines
If a new HL/LH pierces the Trendline without the close price breaking the Trendline, the Trendline will be updated.
The exact location where the price exceeded the Trendline is visualized by a dot, colored blue on a bullish trendline and orange when bearish.
These dots can be indicative of a potential trend continuation or reversal.
🔹 Higher TimeFrame Option
The "Period" setting enables users to visualize higher-timeframe trendlines as long as the line length doesn't exceed 5000 bars.
🔶 DETAILS
When a new trendline is drawn, the script first draws a preliminary line and then checks whether a historical close price exceeded this line above (in the case of a bearish TL) or below (in a bullish case).
Subsequently, the most valid point in between is chosen as the starting point of the Trendline.
🔶 SETTINGS
Period: Choose "chart" for trendlines from the current chart timeframe, or choose a higher timeframe
🔹 Swing Length
Toggle and Swing Length for three trendlines: Period used for the swing detection, with higher values returning longer-term Swing Levels.
🔹 Style
Trendline: color for bullish/bearish Trendline
Wick Dot: color for bullish/bearish trendline test
Term: Long-, medium- or short-term
HH/LL: Show HH/LL labels (with or without previous Swing High/Low) of chosen Term
Background Color: Green when the closing price is above the trendline of choice, red otherwise

Swing Breakout Sequence [LuxAlgo]The Swing Breakout Sequence tool enables traders to identify a directional price action scalping sequence comprising two unsuccessful breakouts in the same direction, with the expectation of a third.
🔶 USAGE
This sequence looks for pressure on one side of a swing zone.
The market tried to break out of the zone twice but failed. This led to a pullback into the zone after each attempt. Once a reversal inside the zone is identified, the sequence is complete. It is expected that the market will move from the final reversal within the zone to the final breakout attempt outside the zone.
The sequence of price action is as follows:
Point 1: Breakout attempt out of the swing zone
Point 2: Pullback into the zone
Point 3: Breakout attempt out of Point 1
Point 4: Pullback into the zone, tapping into Point 2 liquidity
Point 5: Reversal structure with Point 4 in the form of a double top or double bottom
This sequence assumes traders will be caught off-guard when they try to capitalize on the initial breakout at Point 1, which is likely to result in a loss. If the breakout at Point 3 fails, all traders will be caught out and switch positions.
If there is enough pressure in the swing zone to cause a reversal at Point 5, the trapped traders could be the start of the next breakout attempt.
🔹 Sequence Detection
Traders can define sequence behavior and adjust detection with three parameters from the Settings panel.
Disabling Points 4 and 5 will detect the most uncompleted sequences.
🔹 Showing/Hiding Elements
Traders can change the look of sequences by showing or hiding their parts using the Style settings.
🔶 SETTINGS
Swing Length: Number of candles to confirm a swing high or swing low. A higher number detects larger swings.
Internal Length: Number of candles to confirm a internal high or internal low. A lower number detects smaller swings. It must be the same size or smaller than the swing length.
🔹 Detection
Point 4 Beyond Point 2: It only detects sequences where Point 4 is beyond Point 2.
Show Point 5: Enable/disable Point 5 detection.
Require Equal H/L at Point 5: Enable/Disable double top/bottom detection at Point 5 within a given threshold. A bigger value detects more sequences.
🔹 Style
Show Sequence Path: Enable/disable a line between sequence points.
Show Boxes: Enable/disable colored boxes for each sequence.
Show Lines: Enable/disable horizontal lines from each point of the sequence.
Default Color: Define the color or enable/disable auto color.
FVG Breakaway/3rd Candle (Arjo) [MK]Simple script to identify FVGs (Fair Value Gaps) on the current chart timeframe. The script differs from other FVG indicators on the Tradingview platform by using Arjos 3rd candle rule to identify which gaps are 'Breakway Gaps' and which Gaps are likely to be returned to.
NOTE: As with all 'trading rules' this theory is not 100% accurate.
default settings:
Breakaway Gaps = YELLOW
Gaps that price may return to = GREEN
Mitigated Gaps = 100% TRANSPARENT
What is a FVG:
A FVG is a price area defined by a 3 candle pattern. For a bullish FVG, the low of the 3rd candle must be higher than the high of the 1st candle. This then leaves an area that is drawn as in the example below:
A bearish FVG is defined by the high of the 3rd candle being lower than the low of the 1st candle, as shown in the example below:
FVGs can act like magnets where price will either retrace to or reach for, therefore they can be used as entry points and also for take profit target levels.
If for example, a trader would like to use an FVG for an entry, it would be useful to know which FVGs are more likely for price to re-enter and which FVG will be left un-touched. FVGs that are likely to be left un-touched by price are called 'Breakaway Gaps'.
How do we define a 'Breakaway Gap':
First we identify FVGs using the rules stated above, then we look to see where the 3rd candle closed in relation to the 2nd candle. For a bullish 'Breakaway Gap' we want to see the 3rd candle close above the high of the 2nd candle. An example of a bullish Breakaway Gap is shown in the example below:
A bearish 'Breakaway Gap' is defined by the close of the 3rd candle being lower than the low of the 2nd candle. An example is shown below:
How do we define an FVG that price may return to:
Any gap that does not meet the above rules for a 'Breakway Gap' is therefore considered an FVG that price may return to. So for a bullish FVG that price may return to we would look to see if the close of the 3rd candle is above the high of the 2nd candle. If it is not above the high of the 2nd candle then it more likely that price will retrace into the FVG before continuing higher. An example is shown below:
A bearish gap that price may return to is defined by the close of the 3rd candle not being lower than the low of the 2nd candle. An example is shown below:
The indicator is based on the teachings of 'Arjo'. Note: breakaway gaps will only remain 'breakaway' until a liquidity level is reached. Breakaways therefore do not remain 'breakaway' forever. Users of the indicators must fully comprehend this theory before using the indicator with live markets.
Users of the script should be fully aware of this concept and also have conducted thorough backtesting using a large data set before using this indicator with live accounts.
Volume Breakout [Afnan]Introducing the Relative Volume / Volume Breakout Multiplier (RVI) , RVI is specifically designed for traders who incorporate volume breakout analysis into their trading strategies, particularly breakout traders.
This indicator provides a unique perspective on volume dynamics by quantifying the extent of volume breakouts in relation to the Simple Moving Average (SMA). It offers an upgraded version of the default volume indicator on TradingView, with the added feature of Relative Volume.
For example, if the volume SMA is 100M and the current volume is 200M, the indicator will return a breakout number of 2.0, indicating that the current volume is twice that of the volume SMA. Conversely, if the volume SMA is 100M and the current volume is 50M, the indicator will return a value of 0.50, indicating that the current volume is half of the volume SMA.
This tool can be a very helpful for breakout traders, helping them identify potential trading opportunities and assess volume strength more effectively. this indicator is a must-have in the toolkit of any trader who focuses on volume breakout analysis.
Remember, every tool we use, every analysis we perform, is a step towards becoming better traders. So, let’s embrace this journey of continuous learning and improvement together. As the saying goes, “The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today." Let’s step into the future with confidence, armed with the right tools and the right mindset.
Lastly, a big thank you for your support, your likes, and your comments. They mean a lot! If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Together, let’s make trading a rewarding experience!
Session Breakout/Sweep with alertsThis indicator is based on popular London breakout strategy. but as I noticed that it don't work good with breakouts so I made it to be used as reversal entries as well. By default the timing is set for asian session but you can change it according to your need.
Use as breakout
Use as liquidity sweep
Note:
On some pairs the timing changes automatically (I don't know why), if you face this issue , go to settings and set the timing accordingly and save it as templet so that you don't have to change it every time you load the chart with timing issue.
I hope you guys find it useful. Do share your though and feedback in comments.
Liquidity Breakout - Strategy [presentTrading]- Introduction and How It Is Different
The Liquidity Breakout Strategy is a unique trading strategy that focuses on identifying and leveraging patterns in market price data. This strategy, mainly inspired by the script "Master Pattern" by LuxAlgo, takes a different approach from many traditional strategies that rely on technical indicators or fundamental analysis. Instead, the Liquidity Breakout is based on the concept of contraction detection and liquidity levels. This approach allows traders to identify potential trading opportunities that other strategies might miss.
BTCUSDT 6h
The strategy is different from other trading strategies because it uses a unique combination of pattern detection, liquidity levels, and user-defined trading direction. This combination allows the strategy to adapt to various market conditions and trading styles, making it a versatile tool for traders.
- Strategy: How It Works
1. Contraction Detection: The strategy uses a lookback period defined by the user (default is 10 bars) to identify contractions in the market. A contraction is a period where the market is consolidating, often followed by a significant price movement. The strategy identifies contractions by finding pivot highs and pivot lows within the lookback period. If a pivot high is lower than the previous pivot high and a pivot low is higher than the previous pivot low, a contraction is detected.
2. liquidity Levels:
What are Liquidity levels? Liquidity levels, also known as liquidity pools or zones, are price levels at which there is a significant amount of trading activity. They are often areas where large institutional traders (like banks or hedge funds) have placed orders. These levels are important because they can act as support or resistance levels, and price often reacts at these levels.
In the context of this strategy, liquidity levels are used to identify potential entry and exit points for trades. When the price reaches a liquidity level, it could indicate a potential trading opportunity. For example, if the price breaks through a liquidity level, it could signal the start of a new trend. On the other hand, if the price approaches a liquidity level and then reverses, it could signal a potential reversal.
The strategy uses these two elements to identify potential trading opportunities. When a contraction is detected, the strategy will look for a breakout in the direction of the trend. If the breakout occurs at a liquidity level, the strategy will execute a trade.
The strategy also allows traders to set their stop loss based on either the Average True Range (ATR) or a fixed percentage. This flexibility allows traders to manage their risk according to their personal risk tolerance and trading style.
- Trade Direction
One of the unique features of the Master Pattern Strategy is the ability to choose the trading direction. Traders can choose to trade in the "Long" direction, the "Short" direction, or "Both". This feature allows traders to adapt the strategy to their personal trading style and market outlook.
For example, if a trader believes that the market is in an uptrend, they can choose to trade only in the "Long" direction. Conversely, if the market is in a downtrend, they can choose to trade only in the "Short" direction. If the trader believes that the market is volatile and there are opportunities in both directions, they can choose to trade in "Both" directions.
- Usage
To use the strategy, traders need to input their preferred settings, including the contraction detection lookback period, liquidity levels, stop loss type, and trading direction. Once these settings are input, the strategy will automatically detect potential trading opportunities and execute trades according to the defined parameters.
- Default Settings
The default settings for the Master Pattern Strategy are as follows:
Contraction Detection Lookback: 10
Liquidity Levels: 20
Stop Loss Type: ATR
ATR Length: 20
ATR Multiplier: 3.0
Fixed Percentage: 0.01
Trading Direction: Both
These settings can be adjusted according to the trader's personal preferences and market conditions. It's recommended that traders experiment with different settings to find the ones that work best for their trading style and goals.
