Trend Break Targets [MarkitTick]Trend Break Targets
Trend Break Targets is a technical analysis tool designed to assist traders in identifying trendline breakouts and projecting potential price targets based on market geometry. Unlike fully automated indicators that guess trendlines, this tool provides you with precise control by allowing you to manually Pivot Point the trendline to specific points in time, while automating the complex math of target projection and structure mapping.
Theoretical Basis & Concepts
This indicator is grounded in classic technical analysis principles found in foundational trading literature. It automates the following methodology:
Drawing a trend line between two key points to represent dynamic support or resistance.
Identifying a breakout when the price closes above or below this line, potentially signaling a change in trend.
Calculating a price target by measuring the vertical distance between the breakout line and the last high/low (pivot), then projecting that same distance in the direction of the breakout.
This concept is based on methods and "Measured Move" theories explained in classic books such as "Technical Analysis of Stock Trends" by Edwards & Magee, "Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets" by John Murphy, and in Thomas Bulkowski's Price Pattern Studies.
How It Works
Pivot Pointed Trendline Construction The script draws a trendline between two user-defined points in time (Start Date and End Date). It calculates the slope between these points and extends the line infinitely to the right, allowing you to define the exact structure (e.g., a resistance trendline on a wedge).
Breakout Detection The script monitors the "Price Source" (High, Low, or Close) relative to the extended trendline.
A Bullish Breakout (BC) occurs when the Close crosses above a bearish trendline.
A Bearish Breakout (BC) occurs when the Close crosses below a bullish trendline.
Dynamic Target Projection (The Math) Upon a confirmed breakout, the script automatically calculates three distinct targets by identifying the most significant "Swing Point" (Pivot) prior to the breakout.
Distance (D): The vertical distance between the Trendline and the Pivot Price at the specific bar where the pivot occurred.
Target 1 (T1): The Breakout Price +/- (Distance × 1.0). This represents a classic 1:1 measured move.
Target 2 (T2): The Breakout Price +/- (Distance × 1.618). Based on the Golden Ratio extension.
Target 3 (T3): The Breakout Price +/- (Distance × 2.618).
Market Structure (CHOCH) The script includes an optional Change of Character (CHOCH) module. This runs independently of the trendline logic, identifying local Swing Highs and Swing Lows based on the "Swing Detection Length." It plots dashed lines and labels to visualize immediate shifts in market structure.
How to Use This Tool
This is an interactive tool that requires user input to define the setup.
Identify a Setup: Locate a clear trend, wedge, or flag pattern on your chart.
Set Pivot Points: Go to the Indicator Settings. Input the exact Start Date and End Date corresponding to the two main touches of your trendline.
Monitor for Breakout: The script will extend the line. Wait for a "BC" label to appear.
Trade Management: Once "BC" prints, the T1, T2, and T3 lines will instantly render. These can be used as potential take-profit zones or areas to tighten stop-losses.
Settings & Configuration
Indicator Settings
Start/End Date: The timestamp Pivot Points for your trendline.
Price Source: Determines what price (High or Low) Pivot Points the line and triggers the breakout.
Pivot Left/Right: Adjusts the sensitivity for finding the "Pivot Before Break" used for target calculations.
Extend Target Line: How far forward the target lines are drawn.
Visual Style
Colors: Fully customizable colors for the Trendline, Breakout Labels, and each Target level (T1, T2, T3).
Gold Bullish Reversal
This analysis dissects a confirmed bullish reversal on Gold using a custom Trend Break system. The setup identifies a transition from a bearish corrective phase to bullish momentum, validated by a structural break and a geometric target projection.
Trend Identification (The Pivot Points) The descending white trendline serves as the primary dynamic resistance, defining the bearish correction.
Pivot Points: The line is drawn connecting two significant swing highs, marked by Label 1 and Label 2.
Logic: These points represent the "lower highs" characteristic of the previous downtrend. As long as price remained below this trajectory, the bearish bias was intact.
The Trigger: Breakout & Confirmation The transition occurs at the candle marked BC (Breakout Candle).
Breakout Criteria: The indicator logic dictates that a signal is only valid when the bar closes above the trendline. This filters out intraday wicks and ensures genuine buyer commitment.
CHOCH Confluence: Immediately following the breakout, a CHOCH (Change of Character) label appears. This signals a shift in market structure, indicating that the internal lower-high/lower-low sequence has been violated, adding probability to the reversal.
Target Projection: The Measured Move The vertical green lines (T1, T2) represent profit objectives derived from the depth of the prior move. The logic calculates the distance between the breakout line and the lowest pivot prior to the break.
T1 (Standard Target): This is a 1:1 projection of the pre-breakout volatility. We see price action initially stalling near this level, confirming it as a zone of interest.
T2 (Golden Ratio Extension): The second target is calculated as the initial distance multiplied by 1.618 (Fibonacci Golden Ratio). The chart shows the price rallying aggressively through T1 to tap the T2 zone, often considered an exhaustion or major take-profit level in harmonic extensions.
Conclusion Gold has successfully invalidated the 4-hour bearish trendline. The confluence of a confirmed close above resistance (BC) and a structural shift (CHOCH) provided a high-probability long setup. The price has now fulfilled the T2 (1.618) extension, suggesting traders should watch for consolidation or a reaction at this key Fibonacci resistance level.
Bearish Trendline Breakdown
The image displays a Bearish Trendline Breakdown on the Gold (XAUUSD) 4-hour chart. The indicator is actually functioning in "Low" mode here (connecting swing lows to form support), which triggers the bearish logic found in the code. Here is the step-by-step breakdown:
The Setup: Pivot Points & Trendline
Visual: The Blue Labels "1" and "2" connected by a white diagonal line.
Code Logic: These are the user-defined start and end points.
Pivot Point 1 (startDate): The starting pivot of the trendline.
Pivot Point 2 (endDate): The ending pivot.
Trendline: The code draws a line between these two points and extends it to the right (extend.right). In this specific image, the line acts as a Support Trendline.
The Trigger: Break Candle (BC)
Visual: The Red Label "BC" appearing just below the white trendline.
Code Logic: This is the execution signal. The code detects a "Down Break" (dnBreak) because the Price Source was likely set to "Low" and the candle's Close was lower than the Trendline Price at that specific bar (close < currLinePrice). This confirms the support level has been breached.
The Projection: Targets (T1 & T2)
Visual: The Green Labels "T1" and "T2" with dotted horizontal lines projected downward.
Code Logic: These are profit targets based on a "Measured Move."
Pivot Calculation: The script looks back for a recent "Pivot High" (the peak before the crash) to calculate the volatility/distance (dist) between that peak and the trendline.
T1 (Conservative): The price is projected downward by 1x that distance (currLinePrice - dist).
T2 (Extended): The price is projected downward by 1.618x that distance (Golden Ratio extension).
Market Context: CHOCH
Visual: The small Red/Orange "CHOCH" labels appearing above the price action.
Code Logic: This is a secondary confirmation system running independently of the trendline. It detects a Change of Character (structural shift). The red labels indicate a "Bearish CHOCH," meaning the price broke below a significant prior swing low (last_swing_low). This supports the bearish bias of the trendline break.

Advanced Trend Break TargetsIntroduction
The Advanced Trend Break Targets (ATBT) is a semi-automated technical analysis system designed to validate trendline trading strategies with algorithmic precision. While standard trendlines are subjective drawings, the ATBT converts user-defined price structures into a mathematical model. It projects a trajectory based on two specific "Anchor Points" and monitors price action for valid breakouts, applying a strict "Confluence Filter" before generating signals or projecting targets.
Originality & Utility
Most trendline indicators rely on automatic detection, which often draws lines across irrelevant swing points. The ATBT respects the trader's discretion by allowing manual placement of the trendline (via timestamps) while automating the tedious tasks of monitoring for breaks, checking momentum conditions, and calculating Fibonacci risk-to-reward levels. This "Hybrid" approach combines human pattern recognition with machine discipline, ensuring trades are only signaled when specific quantitative conditions are met.
Detailed Methodology
1. The Advanced Projection Logic
The core of the script calculates a linear trajectory between two points in time (Start Date and End Date). Unlike standard drawings, this script calculates the exact slope (m) using the bar index difference
The script automatically detects the "Price Source" at your chosen timestamps. If a Pivot High exists at the start date, it defaults to a Resistance Line (Highs). If a Pivot Low exists, it defaults to a Support Line (Lows). This slope is then projected forward indefinitely:
2. The Confluence Filter (Multi-Condition Validation)
A raw price crossover is often a "fake-out." To combat this, the script includes a Mandatory Conditions engine. A breakout is only confirmed if the user-selected conditions are TRUE at the moment of the cross:
Volume Confirmation: Verifies if the breakout bar's volume is greater than its 20-period SMA.
CHOCH (Change of Character): Checks if the price has broken the most recent Swing High (for bullish setups) or Swing Low (for bearish setups) prior to the trendline break.
Swing Break: A strict check requiring the close to be beyond the last swing point.
Momentum (MACD & RSI): Ensures the MACD line is crossing the Signal line or that RSI is on the correct side of the 50 threshold.
Trend Filter (SMA): Verifies that price is above the 20 SMA (bullish) or below it (bearish).
3. Dynamic Target & Risk Calculation
Upon a validated breakout, the script scans the chart history for the most recent Pivot High or Low (within the lookback period) to define the "Structure Width" or Risk distance (D).
Stop Loss (SL): Placed at the recent Pivot Price.
Target 1: Projected at $1.0 \times D from the breakout point.
Target 2: Projected at $1.618 \times D (Golden Ratio).
Target 3: Projected at $2.618 \times D.
How to Use
1. Identify the Structure: visually identify a trendline on your chart (e.g., the upper resistance of a Wedge or Flag).
2. Set Anchors: Go to the script settings (Inputs tab) and enter the exact timestamp for Point 1 (Start of trendline) and Point 2 (End of trendline).
Tip: Ensure these dates align with the specific high/low candle you want to anchor to.
3. Configure Filters: Toggle the checkboxes in the "Mandatory Conditions" group.
Example: If you want to trade pure price action, enable "Require CHOCH" but leave "Require MACD" unchecked.
4. Interpret Signals:
Blue Labels (1 & 2): Indicate where the script has Advanced the trendline.
"Breakout" / "Breakdown" Label: Appears when price crosses the projected line AND all selected conditions are met.
Green/Red Dotted Lines: represent your Take Profit targets based on the structure width.
Inputs & Settings
TBT Group:
Start/End Date: The timestamps defining the line.
Pivot Left/Right: Controls the sensitivity of the pivot detection used for Stop Loss placement.
Extend Target Line: How far into the future the target lines are drawn.
Mandatory Conditions Group:
Require Volume / CHOCH / MACD / SMA / RSI: Individual toggles to build your specific trade strategy.
Thresholds: Adjust the lengths for SMA and RSI to match your preferred timeframe.
Example:
XAUUSD 4-hour timeframe
We had an uptrend. We added the indicator and set the point at the penultimate low (HL) and then the second point at the last low (HL), as shown in the following image.
You can choose the conditions you prefer to be met to trigger the breakout from the user settings.
Based on the conditions you set, if they are met, the indicator displays all the data, as seen in the following image. A stop-loss point was set, the breakout candle was identified, and the first target was set (you can choose to display the second and third targets from the user settings, noting that they are less likely to be achieved).
As we can see in the last image, the price reached the first target, then continued its path and achieved the second target as well. Afterward, it shifted to a short sideways trend and then reversed.
TBT vs. ATBT: Key Technical & Functional Enhancements
The ATBT (Advanced Trend Break Target) script introduces significant upgrades over the Free TBT, transforming it from a pure geometric breakout tool into a comprehensive strategy scanner with multi-factor confluence capabilities. Below are the primary differences:
1. Integration of Confluence Filters ("Mandatory Conditions")
The most substantial change is the addition of a robust filtering engine. While TBT relied solely on price crossing the trendline to trigger a signal, ATBT introduces a "Mandatory Conditions" input group. Traders can now require specific criteria to be met before a breakout is validated:
Volume Confirmation: Requires volume to exceed its SMA.
Market Structure (CHOCH): Can require a Change of Character to have occurred prior to the entry.
Momentum & Trend Filters: Options to enforce confirmation from MACD (crossovers), RSI (thresholds), and SMA (price location relative to the moving average).
2. Automated Risk Management (Stop-Loss)
ATBT adds a built-in Stop-Loss mechanism, addressing a missing feature in TBT.
TBT: Only projected Profit Targets (T1, T2, T3).
ATBT: Automatically calculates and plots a Stop-Loss (SL) level based on the pivot price used for the setup. This provides an immediate Risk/Reward visualization upon signal generation.
3. Smart Source Detection
ATBT improves user experience with an automation feature regarding the "Price Source" (High vs. Low).
TBT: The user must manually select whether they are anchoring to "High" or "Low" via the settings.
ATBT: The script attempts to automatically detect the correct source at the "Start Date" by checking if a pivot high or low exists at that timestamp, reducing manual configuration errors.
4. Enhanced Visuals & Swing Point Tracking
Visual clarity has been upgraded in the new version.
Swing Points: ATBT includes a `showSwingPoints` toggle that plots visual markers (circles) on Swing Highs and Swing Lows, helping traders visualize the market structure used for CHOCH and pivot calculations , Helping the trader identify the locations of the first and second points .
Signal State Tracking: ATBT uses "latched" logic (e.g., `chochMet`, `swingBrkMet`) to track if conditions were met anytime between Point 2 and the breakout, whereas TBT treated CHOCH largely as a separate visual component unrelated to the main trigger.
5. Refined Signal Logic
TBT: Triggers immediately upon a close across the trendline.
ATBT: Triggers only if the trendline cross occurs AND all enabled "Mandatory Conditions" return true. This significantly reduces noise by filtering out low-quality breakouts that lack structural or momentum support
Disclaimer
This script is a tool for visualizing market structure and calculating potential geometries. It does not guarantee future performance. Breakouts can fail, and "Mandatory Conditions" are lagging indicators that confirm past data. Always manage risk responsibly.
Advanced Breakout System v2.0Advanced Breakout System v2.0
Developed by: Mohammed Bedaiwi
This script hunts for high-probability breakouts by combining price consolidation zones, volume spikes vs. average volume, smart money flow (OBV), and a Momentum Override for explosive moves that skip consolidation. Additionally, it automatically identifies and plots Support and Resistance levels with price labels to help you visualize market structure.
The system follows a "Watch & Confirm" logic: it first prints a WATCH setup, then a BUY only if price confirms strength.
💡 JUSTIFICATION OF CONCEPTS (MASHUP & ORIGINALITY)
This script is an original mashup combining several analytical concepts to address common breakout failures:
Volatility Compression Engine: Uses built-in functions like ta.highest() and ta.lowest() to mathematically define the setup phase where price volatility is compressed below a user-defined threshold.
Volume Spike Confirmation: The breakout must be confirmed by a volume increase greater than a moving average of volume, signaling strong market interest.
Smart Volume Filter (OBV): This is the key component. By checking if ta.obv is above its own Moving Average, we confirm that accumulation has been occurring during the consolidation period, suggesting institutional positioning before the price break.
Multi-Exit Risk System: Employs dynamic exits (EMA cross, volume dump, bearish pattern) instead of static stop-losses to manage risk adaptively based on real-time market action.
Market Structure Visualization: The script also includes a Support & Resistance engine to plot key swing pivots and price labels for visual context.
✅ STRATEGY RESULTS & POLICY COMPLIANCE
To ensure non-misleading and transparent backtesting results, this strategy is published with the following fully compliant properties:
Dataset Compliance: The backtest is performed on the CMTL Daily (1D) chart across a long history, generating 201 total trades. This significantly exceeds the minimum requirement of 100 trades, providing a robust test dataset.
Risk Control: The strategy uses a conservative order size set to 2% of equity (default_qty_value=2), strictly adhering to the sustainable risk recommendation of 5-10% of equity per trade.
Transaction Costs: Realistic trading conditions are modeled using 0.07% commission and 3 ticks slippage to prevent the overestimation of profitability.
⚙️ VISUAL GUIDE & SIGNAL LOGIC
Key Color Legend (Visual Guide):
WATCH – Setup (Yellow Arrow Down): Potential breakout setup detected.
BUY – Confirmation (Green Arrow Up): Confirmed breakout, triggered when price trades above the high of the WATCH candle.
SELL – Break (Orange Arrow): Short-term trend weakness, triggered when price closes below the Fast EMA (9).
SELL – Dump (Dark Red Arrow): Distribution / volume dump, triggered by a bearish candle with abnormally high volume.
SELL – Pattern (Purple Arrow): Bearish price-action pattern (such as a bearish engulfing).
Support & Resistance Lines (Red/Green): Small horizontal lines plotted at key swing points with exact price labels.
⌨️ INPUTS (DEFAULT SETTINGS)
Entry settings: Consolidation Lookback (default 20) = bars used to detect consolidation. Consolidation Range % (default 12%) = max allowed range size. Volume Spike Multiplier (default 1.2) = factor above average volume to count as a spike. Force Signal on Big Moves (default ON) = forces a WATCH signal on high-momentum moves.
Exit settings: Enable Fast Exit (EMA 9) toggles the SELL – Break signal. Dump Volume Multiplier defines what counts as “dump” volume.
Support & Resistance: Adjustable Pivot Left/Right bars control the sensitivity of the support and resistance lines.
⚠️ Disclaimer Trading involves significant risk of loss. This script is for educational and informational purposes only and is not financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any asset.

This is an open-source strategy; users are encouraged to test it across different symbols and timeframes.
Consolidation Chopper█ OVERVIEW
Consolidation Chopper is a regime detection indicator designed to identify whether the market is currently in a consolidation (sideways) phase or a trending phase. The indicator uses a proprietary multi-timeframe approach to analyze price action across different windows, providing a more robust classification than single-timeframe methods.
The indicator features an impulse override system that can detect sudden breakouts from consolidation ranges, allowing for faster regime transitions when significant price movement occurs.
█ FEATURES
Three-State Regime Detection
• Sideways — Market is consolidating with no clear directional bias
• Breakout — An impulse move has been detected, signaling a potential regime change
• Trending — Market is exhibiting directional movement
Adaptive Thresholds
The indicator can self-calibrate its detection thresholds based on the instrument's historical behavior, making it adaptable across different markets and asset classes without manual tuning.
Dynamic Range Tracking
During consolidation periods, the indicator tracks the evolving range boundaries:
• Yellow lines show the current range high and low
• Orange lines show the buffered boundaries used for impulse detection
• Range continuously updates as price action develops
Impulse Override System
Multiple configurable conditions can trigger an early exit from consolidation:
• Bar body relative to range size
• Bar range relative to volatility
• Close beyond buffered range boundaries
• Multi-bar cumulative movement
Each condition can be independently enabled or disabled.
Confirmation Layers
Optional confirmation metrics provide additional confidence scoring for the current regime classification. The info panel displays confidence percentage and confirmation status.
Cooldown System
Prevents rapid regime oscillation by enforcing a minimum duration after breakout events before allowing return to sideways classification.
█ HOW TO USE
1 — Add the indicator to your chart. The background color indicates the current regime.
2 — During sideways regimes, observe the yellow range lines to understand the current consolidation boundaries.
3 — Watch for IMP markers which indicate impulse-triggered breakouts.
4 — Use the info panel (top right) to monitor:
Current regime and confidence level
Range boundaries and buffer values
Cooldown status
5 — Adjust impulse detection parameters based on your instrument's volatility characteristics.
Higher values = fewer triggers (more conservative)
Lower values = more triggers (more sensitive)
█ SETTINGS
Threshold Settings
Control the sensitivity of regime classification. Adaptive mode auto-calibrates based on historical data tuned for your instrument.
Impulse Override
Configure which conditions trigger early breakout detection and their respective thresholds.
Multi-Bar Impulse
Settings for detecting breakouts that occur over multiple bars rather than a single impulse candle.
Range Tracking
Configure the establishment period and buffer zone for consolidation range detection.
Cooldown
Set the minimum bars required after a breakout before returning to sideways classification.
█ LIMITATIONS
• The indicator requires sufficient historical data to establish adaptive thresholds.
Initial bars may show less reliable classifications.
• Like all regime detection methods, there is going to be inherent lag in identifying transitions, but this method minimizes it.
The impulse override system helps mitigate this but cannot eliminate it entirely.
• Performance may vary across different timeframes and instruments.
Some parameter tuning is recommended for optimal results.
█ NOTES
This indicator is designed as a filter or context tool to be used alongside other analysis methods. It does not generate trade signals directly but provides market structure context that can inform trading decisions. Typically once a range breaks you can expect directional movement/impulses or higher volatility regimes.
Momentum Breakout Pro (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Momentum Breakout Pro (Zeiierman) is a breakout-focused quantitative system engineered to identify only the strongest momentum expansions in the market. Instead of reacting to price movement, it reconstructs a refined momentum signal, evaluates its strength and persistence, and validates each breakout against the broader market context. Only when momentum pressure aligns with structural direction, trend state, candle behavior, and spacing requirements will a breakout be considered qualified.
The result is a clean and context-aware signal flow that removes noise and highlights only the breakouts with the highest probability of continuation. Traders receive precise Break signals at qualified points, adaptive trend lines, candle-based trend visualization, structure levels, and volatility-driven confirmation markers. Internally, the system operates as a layered confirmation model designed to enforce directional consensus and filter out the shallow or unreliable moves that typically weaken breakout strategies.
In short, Momentum Breakout Pro offers a refined breakout selection system that focuses on quality over quantity, designed for traders who want clean and well-supported breakout signals backed by structured technical logic.
⚪ Why This One Is Unique
Momentum Breakout Pro’s uniqueness comes from its multi-layered confirmation process. The internal momentum reconstruction ensures that only sustained directional pressure is considered meaningful. Optional filters such as Dynamic Trend, SuperTrend, Average Trend, VWAP, and Market Structure provide an adjustable decision stack, allowing traders to decide how strict or flexible the validation should be. Breakouts are released only when the enabled components agree.
█ Main Features
⚪ Breakout Signals
The Breakout Signals are the core feature of the indicator. They help traders identify high probability breakouts that are more likely to follow through. With built-in confirmation levels, it becomes much easier to judge whether a breakout is strong or likely to fail. Combined with the suggested take profit points, traders can quickly find confirmed breakout opportunities with realistic first profit targets.
⚪ Breakout Filters
The indicator includes multiple filters that align each breakout with the current trend, structure, and momentum. This is essential for identifying only the strongest and most reliable breakout setups.
⚪ Dynamic Trend
The Dynamic Trend is a volatility-aware long-term trend filter. It removes noise and adapts to sharp volatility swings, staying focused on the true underlying trend direction. This helps traders avoid false signals and remain aligned with the broader market drift.
⚪ Moving Average
A standard moving average with a user-defined length. Simple, effective, and easy to understand. It acts as a clean trend filter for both beginners and advanced traders.
⚪ Super Trend
A Super Trend filter that restricts breakout signals to appear only in the direction of the active SuperTrend. This adds an additional layer of directional confirmation.
⚪ VWAP
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) is a powerful anchor, especially on lower timeframes. It serves as a dynamic support or resistance level and a highly reliable trend filter.
⚪ Candle Coloring
The candle coloring engine tracks how long the price has moved in one direction and translates that persistence into a graded bull, mid, or bear color spectrum. This helps traders quickly understand trend strength, confirm momentum, and allow the market enough space to move before a larger breakout occurs.
⚪ Momentum
The momentum filter identifies bursts of momentum and highlights the strongest correlations between price and movement strength. It filters out weak breakouts that are not backed by real momentum, improving accuracy significantly.
⚪ Market Structure
Trading with the current market structure is crucial. This filter ensures that breakout signals appear only when they align with the existing structure, helping traders stay on the right side of the market.
█ How to Use
⚪ Breakouts
Use this tool to identify high-quality breakouts. To increase accuracy, combine the breakout signals with the trend, structure, and momentum filters. When these elements align, the probability of a successful breakout increases significantly.
⚪ Confirmation Levels
The indicator includes three confirmation levels that adapt based on current market volatility.
These levels help you judge the strength of the breakout:
When the three levels are tight and close to the price, it indicates strong conditions. Price is more likely to break through all levels quickly and confirm the breakout.
When the levels are spread out and far from the price, the breakout becomes weaker. Price must travel too far to confirm the move, which lowers the probability of a clean follow-through.
What you want to see is a breakout where all three confirmation levels are penetrated within the next few candles. That is the ideal scenario, indicating a confirmed breakout with a higher chance of continuation in that direction.
⚪ Take Profit Strategy
The indicator includes built-in take profit levels, which act as your first two targets after a confirmed breakout:
Once Take Profit 1 is hit, move your stop loss to break even.
When Take Profit 2 is hit, move your stop loss to the first take profit level.
From there, allow the position to run until the candle coloring shifts, signaling that momentum may be slowing or reversing.
This approach helps you secure profits early, reduce risk, and stay in the trade for larger moves when the trend is strong.
█ Setting Realistic Expectations: Win-Rate and Risk–Reward
Research on breakout systems, trend-following strategies, and directional volatility all show the same behavioral pattern. Win rates tend to be moderate, while risk and reward are positively skewed. Most breakout attempts are tested quickly by the market and may result in small losses or breakeven trades. The real edge comes from the smaller group of breakouts that expand into multi-stage moves and generate significantly larger gains. This is a well-established characteristic of momentum-driven price dynamics.
Momentum Breakout Pro is designed to work within this framework. It is not built to win on every signal, but to highlight conditions that historically align with stronger follow-through. The tool provides structure levels, confirmation lines, and initial target markers to help traders measure extension and manage risk objectively. Actual results will vary depending on the filters enabled, the markets traded, and how stops and exits are managed. However, the overall expectation remains consistent with established breakout research: frequent smaller outcomes combined with fewer but more impactful winners.
█ How It Works
⚪ Breakout System
The breakout system detects emerging directional expansions by transforming price movement into a stabilized signal curve. It evaluates localized impulse strength, directional bias, and short-term acceleration to determine when the price is exerting statistically meaningful pressure in one direction. When this pressure breaches the system’s internal thresholds, a breakout candidate is registered.
Calculation: Price is processed through a multi-stage smoothing pipeline to construct a normalized signal curve. The script analyzes the curve’s gradient and micro-momentum characteristics within a compact evaluation window. A breakout event is triggered when these combined directional metrics exceed the system’s momentum-pressure threshold.
⚪ Momentum Confirmation
To prevent weak or premature breakouts, the system verifies that momentum behavior aligns with the directional expansion. This ensures that only breakouts supported by sustained impulse strength are considered.
Calculation: The script evaluates the strength, stability, and directional consistency of momentum over the developing move. Instead of reacting to isolated shifts, it assesses whether momentum maintains a coherent and persistent trajectory that reinforces the breakout direction. A breakout is confirmed only when momentum structure and directional pressure are synchronized.
⚪ Confirmation Levels
Once a breakout is detected, three confirmation levels indicate how far the price must travel to confirm the breakout's strength.
Calculation: The levels are spaced using a volatility-adjusted distance formula. A breakout is considered strong when the price clears all three levels within a short time window.
⚪ Targets
Targets provide simple reference points for early take profits and risk management.
Calculation: The distance to a nearby structural or volatility-based reference is measured, then projected outward as proportional 1R / 2R style levels.

Support & Resistance Zone Hunter [BOSWaves]Support & Resistance Zone Hunter - Dynamic Structural Zones with Real-Time Breakout Intelligence
Overview
The Support & Resistance Zone Hunter is a professional-grade structural mapping framework designed to automatically detect high-probability support and resistance areas in real time. Unlike traditional static levels or manually drawn zones, this system leverages pivot detection, range thresholds, and optional volume validation to create dynamic zones that reflect the true structural architecture of the market.
Zones evolve as price interacts with their boundaries. The first touch of a zone determines its bias - bullish, bearish, or neutral - and the system tracks the full lifecycle of each zone from formation, testing, and bias establishment to potential breakout events. Diamond-shaped breakout signals highlight structurally significant price expansions while filtering noise using a configurable cooldown period.
By visualizing market structure in this way, traders gain a deeper understanding of price behavior, trend momentum, and areas where liquidity and reactive forces are concentrated.
Theoretical Foundation
The Support & Resistance Zone Hunter is built on the premise that meaningful structural zones arise from two core principles:
Pivot-Based Turning Points : Only significant highs and lows that represent actual swings in price are considered.
Contextual Validation : Zones must pass minimum range criteria and optional volume thresholds to ensure their relevance.
Markets naturally generate numerous micro-pivots that do not carry predictive significance. By filtering out minor swings and validating zones against volume and range, the system isolates levels that are more likely to attract future price interaction or act as catalysts for breakout moves.
This framework captures not only where price is likely to react but also the direction of potential pressure, providing a statistically grounded, visually intuitive representation of market structure.
How It Works
The Support & Resistance Zone Hunter constructs zones through a multi-layered process that blends pivot logic, range validation, and real-time bias determination:
1. Pivot Detection Core
The indicator identifies pivot highs and pivot lows using a configurable lookback period. Zones are only considered valid when both a top and bottom pivot are present.
2. Zone Qualification Engine
Prospective zones must satisfy two conditions:
Range Threshold : The distance between pivot high and low must exceed the minimum percentage set by the user.
Volume Requirement : If enabled, the current volume must exceed the 50-period moving average.
Only zones meeting these criteria are drawn, reducing noise and emphasizing high-probability structural levels.
3. Zone Lifecycle
Once a valid top and bottom pivot exist:
The zone is created starting from the pivot formation bar.
Zones remain active until both boundaries have been touched by price.
The first boundary touched establishes bias: resistance first → bullish bias ,support first → bearish bias, neither → neutral.
Inactive zones stop expanding but remain visible historically to maintain a clear structural context.
4. Visual Rendering
Active zones are displayed as filled boxes with color corresponding to their bias. Top, bottom, and midpoint lines are drawn for reference. Once a zone becomes inactive, its lines are removed while the filled box remains as a historical footprint.
5. Breakout Detection
Breakout signals occur when price closes above the top boundary or below the bottom boundary of an active zone. The system applies a cooldown period and requires price to return to the zone since the previous breakout to prevent signal spam. Bullish and bearish breakouts are visually represented by diamond-shaped markers with configurable colors.
Interpretation
The Support & Resistance Zone Hunter provides a structural view of market balance:
Bullish Zones : Form when resistance is tested first, indicating upward pressure and potential continuation.
Bearish Zones : Form when support is tested first, reflecting downward pressure and continuation risk.
Neutral Zones : Fresh zones that have not yet been interacted with, representing undiscovered liquidity.
Breakout Diamonds : Highlight significant structural price expansions, helping traders identify confirmed continuation moves while filtering noise.
Zones do not simply indicate past levels; they dynamically reflect the evolving battle between buyers and sellers, providing actionable context for both trend continuation and reversion strategies.
Strategy Integration
The Support & Resistance Zone Hunter is versatile and can be applied across multiple trading approaches:
Trend Continuation : Use bullish and bearish zones to confirm directional bias. Breakout diamonds indicate structural continuation opportunities.
Reversion Entries : Neutral zones often act as magnets in ranging markets, allowing for high-probability mean-reversion setups.
Breakout Trading : Diamonds mark true structural expansions, reducing false breakout risk and guiding stop placement or momentum entries.
Liquidity Zone Alignment : Combining the indicator with order block, breaker, or volume-based tools helps validate zones against broader market participation.
Technical Implementation Details
Pivot Engine : Two-sided pivot detection based on configurable lookback.
Zone Qualification : Minimum range requirement and optional volume filter.
Bias Logic : Determined by the first boundary touched.
Zone Lifecycle : Active until both boundaries are touched, historical visibility retained.
Breakout Signals : Diamond markers with cooldown filtering and price-return validation.
Visuals : Transparent filled zones with live top, bottom, and midpoint lines.
Suggested Optimal Parameters
Pivot Lookback : 10 - 30 for intraday, 20 - 50 for swing trading.
Minimum Range % : 0.5 - 2% for crypto or indices, 1 - 3% for metals or forex.
Volume Filter : Enable for assets with inconsistent liquidity; disable for consistently liquid markets.
Breakout Cooldown : 5 - 20 bars depending on volatility.
These suggested parameters should be used as a baseline; their effectiveness depends on the asset and timeframe, so fine-tuning is expected for optimal performance.
Performance Characteristics
High Effectiveness:
Markets with clear pivot structure and reliable volume.
Trending symbols with consistent retests.
Assets where zones attract repeated price interaction.
Reduced Effectiveness:
Random walk markets lacking structural pivots.
Low-volatility periods with minimal price reaction.
Assets with irregular volume distribution or erratic price action.
Integration Guidelines
Use zone color as contextual bias rather than a standalone signal.
Combine with structural tools, order blocks, or volume-based indicators for confluence.
Validate zones on higher timeframes to refine lower timeframe entries.
Treat breakout diamonds as confirmation of continuation rather than independent triggers.
Disclaimer
The Support & Resistance Zone Hunter provides structural zone mapping and breakout analytics. It does not predict price movement or guarantee profitability. Success requires disciplined risk management, proper parameter calibration, and integration into a comprehensive trading strategy.
Smart Range Breakout System (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Smart Range Breakout System (Zeiierman) is a full breakout–trend–risk framework engineered around volatility compression, adaptive range detection, and a volatility-adaptive structural mapping layer that continuously reshapes itself as price migrates away from compression zones. Rather than reacting to simple line breaks, the system identifies statistically quiet regimes, models the expansion phase as momentum re-enters the market, and then deploys a unified architecture of trend projection, dynamic trailing stops, and risk–reward structuring that evolves in real time with the unfolding move.
This tool is designed for traders who want a self-contained breakout workflow: first detect valid ranges, then trade the expansion, then manage the trend and exits via automatically generated levels and alerts.
⚪ Why This One Is Unique
The core engine combines a custom price-contraction model with volatility-responsive boundary levels to detect when the market is transitioning between quiet and active phases. From this model, the script generates a smoothed synthetic average that acts as the reference point for identifying compression zones and validating breakout conditions. Using this foundation, the system builds a complete visual trade map: breakout boxes that mark consolidation, breakout markers that signal expansion, a trend cloud that tracks directional bias, adaptive trailing stops that follow price movement, and optional risk-reward levels that automatically adjust to each new breakout.
Unlike conventional breakout indicators that rely on a single high/low lookback, this system uses:
A price contraction engine that re-weights candle structure through a momentum-like transform, generating a stabilized price that better captures compression and release.
An adaptive low-volatility counter that waits for statistically quiet behavior before declaring a range.
█ Main Features
⚪ Breakout Signals With Dynamic Risk-Reward Levels
The system identifies meaningful breakouts emerging from compressed price zones and immediately maps a complete trade structure around each signal.
Each breakout generates:
Directional breakout markers to confirm expansion
Entry, Stop, TP1, and TP2 levels that are automatically projected
A dynamic trailing stop is added to lock in profits as the price moves
Risk and reward zones visualized through adaptive fills
Labels that update in real time as targets are reached or invalidated
This creates a clear, self-contained decision map that helps traders evaluate opportunities, manage risk, and track the progression of each breakout without manual calculations.
⚪ Trend Cloud
A continuously updating Trend Cloud highlights the active directional regime and offers immediate visual trend identification through its color-coded bias. It shows whether a breakout aligns with the prevailing direction, provides a smoother and more stable representation of the trend than raw price alone, and creates an intuitive backdrop for distinguishing trend-following opportunities from countertrend setups. By filtering out noise and emphasizing directional stability, the cloud helps improve timing, signal quality, and overall alignment with the dominant market structure.
█ How to Use
⚪ Breakout Trading from Range Boxes
1. Identify Compression Zones
Look for periods where the Range Breakout Box appears: this signals a statistically quiet regime where price has compressed around a bounded range.
The box top and bottom approximate the upper and lower bounds of the market’s recent equilibrium.
2. Trade the Expansion
Bullish Breakout:
Triggered when the synthetic price crosses above the box top.
A green breakout marker appears below the price (triangle up).
This signals that price is breaking out of the compression zone with enough momentum to establish a meaningful structural move to the upside.
Bearish Breakout:
Triggered when the price crosses below the box bottom.
A red breakout marker appears above the price (triangle down).
Signals a breakdown out of the range to the downside.
⚪ Trend Following with the Trend Cloud
The Trend Cloud is a volatility-responsive band that adjusts to the system’s internal trend. In bullish conditions, it shifts to the up-color beneath price, and in bearish conditions, it flips to the down-color above price, giving a clear visual read of market direction.
The cloud effectively separates impulsive trend legs from noise, so you can align breakout trades only with the dominant directional regime.
Long Setups
Favor long setups (Break Up) when the price is traveling above or inside a bullish cloud.
Short Steups
Favor short setups (Break Down) when the price is below or inside a bearish cloud.
Ignore counter-trend breakouts that form directly against a strong, stable cloud unless you are intentionally trading mean reversion.
⚪ Breakout Management and Risk-Reward
Once a breakout occurs, the system instantly activates a directional trailing stop that follows the trend. For long setups, the stop stays below the price and moves upward as momentum builds. For short setups, it stays above the price and moves downward as the trend strengthens. If price hits the trailing stop, an X-cross appears on the chart to mark the exit, and the stop is reset for the next signal. You can adjust the sensitivity to make the stop tighter or more relaxed, depending on your preference.
When Risk-Reward Levels are enabled, the script also builds a complete trade structure around the breakout. It places an entry line at the breakout close, and projects two target levels forward. The area between entry and stop is shaded as risk, while the area toward the targets is shaded as reward. Labels update automatically as targets are reached, turning into a clear confirmation mark when a level is hit and signaling with an icon if the stop is touched.
Together, the trailing stop and risk-reward ladder create a clear, real-time map of each breakout’s progression, helping you manage risk, monitor targets, and follow the move with structure and confidence.
█ How It Works
⚪ Compression Detection & Range Formation
The system identifies quiet market phases where price contracts into narrow zones and stabilizes around a synthetic equilibrium level. These zones form the foundation for valid breakout opportunities.
Calculation: Persistence-based boundary tracking with volatility-normalized change detection and equilibrium anchoring to identify statistically constrained price regimes.
⚪ Breakout Engine
Breakouts occur only when the internal average breaks out of a validated compression zone, confirming that the market is transitioning from containment to expansion.
Calculation: Boundary-crossing logic on dispersion-expanded structures with directional state shifts encoded through threshold-gated transitions.
⚪ Trend State
A dynamic trend state guides directional bias, while the Trend Cloud visually expresses this bias directly on the chart, shifting beneath or above the price depending on the active regime.
Calculation: Dual-regime state modeling using filtered directional vectors, volatility-responsive offsets, and continuity enforcement to avoid noise-driven flips.

Breakdown Sniper [Riz]Breakdown Sniper is a complete structural-based price-action system designed to identify and validate three major setups
1. Failed Breakdowns (FBD)
2. Breakouts / Breakdowns (BO)
3. Back-Tests (BT)
The script analyzes swing structure, undercuts, reclaim behavior, channel bias, support/resistance levels, and a multi-layer confluence engine to highlight high-quality long/short signals.
It also includes trade management, target projections, trailing logic, risk models, and an optional dashboard for clarity.
Core Concepts Behind the System
1. Pivot Structure & New Low/High Logic
Breakdown Sniper continuously detects pivot highs and lows using user-defined left/right bars.
These pivots are used to determine
⦁ Recent structural lows/highs
⦁ Undercuts (for failed breakdowns)
⦁ Structural breaks (for FBO/BO setups)
This provides the foundation for all three setup types.
2. Failed Breakdown (FBD) Detection
The primary logic of the script is to detect failed breakdowns, which follow this sequence:
1. Identify an initial pivot low
2. Price undercuts that low
3. Price reclaims the level by a specified number of points
4. Optional: new higher low print confirming strength
5. Once confirmed, the script calculates:
⦁ Entry trigger price
⦁ Stop placement (multiple options: below undercut, below initial low, ATR-based, fixed)
⦁ Three profit targets based on risk multiples
The reverse logic is applied for failed breakouts (FBO).
3. Breakouts & Breakdowns (BO)
The system also captures momentum breakouts/breakdowns defined by:
⦁ Price breaking major support/resistance
⦁ Bar-level strength (close vs range)
⦁ ATR-based expansion
⦁ Holding above/below breakout level for a user-defined number of bars
If confirmed, the script projects T1/T2/T3 targets and stop placement automatically.
4. Back-test Setups (BT)
After a confirmed breakout/breakdown, the script monitors for a return to the breakout level, within a percentage tolerance.
If a clean retest occurs:
⦁ A BT Long or BT Short setup is generated
⦁ Risk and target calculations are performed automatically
This allows identifying continuation setups after strong breaks.
Channel & Levels System (Support/Resistance Engine)
The script builds a hybrid S/R and environment model using:
⦁ Regression channel OR
⦁ Donchian, Keltner, Bollinger channels (user-selectable)
The channel provides:
⦁ Upper/Lower boundaries
⦁ Midline
⦁ Trend bias based on slope
Additionally, a multi-touch support/resistance detector clusters pivot-based levels and scores them by:
⦁ Touch count
⦁ Recency
⦁ Age
⦁ Whether they classify as major levels
This explains where reversals and breakouts are most likely.
Confluence Engine
Every Long/Short signal receives a 0–100 score derived from:
⦁ Market structure: HH/HL or LL/LH
⦁ Trend filter (EMA-based)
⦁ Volatility conditions (ATR range requirements)
⦁ Session bias (Asian / London / New York / Overlap)
⦁ Volume expansion
⦁ Higher-timeframe trend (optional)
⦁ Location inside channel
⦁ Distance to nearest S/R
⦁ Setup-type priority (FBD/BO/BT)
Users can require a minimum score before a signal becomes valid.
Trade Management Logic
Once a trade triggers, the indicator handles:
⦁ Entry execution confirmation
⦁ Stop loss tracking
⦁ Three independent profit targets
⦁ Optional scale-ins
⦁ ATR-based trailing stop
⦁ Risk calculations
⦁ Real-time PnL monitoring
The script does not execute live trades — it only visualizes management levels for analysis.
Visual Components
Breakdown Sniper plots:
⦁ Channels & fills
⦁ Auto-detected S/R levels
⦁ Pivot highs/lows
⦁ Buy/Sell markers
⦁ Entry/Stop/Targets
⦁ Trade dashboard (optional)
⦁ Equity curve (optional)
Everything is toggle-based for clean charting.
How To Use the Indicator
Recommended Use-Case
⦁ Futures (ES/NQ/CL/RTY)
⦁ Indices
⦁ Crypto
⦁ FX
Works well on:
⦁ 5m / 15m / 1H
Signals do not repaint because pivots and reclaim sequences require bar completion.
Basic Usage Steps
1. Enable the setups you want to trade: FBD, BO, BT
2. Optionally turn on filters:
⦁ Trend filter
⦁ Volatility filter
⦁ Market structure filter
⦁ MTF trend filter
3. Wait for a valid long/short signal with sufficient confluence
4. Follow the plotted entry level, stop, and targets
5. Use the dashboard to monitor performance of each setup type
Important Notes
This is a structural/price-action tool, not a prediction model
No guarantee of profitability is provided
The indicator is educational and analytical
Always use independent confirmation and risk management

Candle Breakout StrategyShort description (one-liner)
Candle Breakout Strategy — identifies a user-specified candle (UTC time), draws its high/low range, then enters on breakouts with configurable stop-loss, take-profit (via Risk:Reward) and optional alerts.
Full description (ready-to-paste)
Candle Breakout Strategy
Version 1.0 — Strategy script (Pine v5)
Overview
The Candle Breakout Strategy automatically captures a single "range candle" at a user-specified UTC time, draws its high/low as a visible box and dashed level lines, and waits for a breakout. When price closes above the range high it enters a Long; when price closes below the range low it enters a Short. Stop-loss is placed at the opposite range boundary and take-profit is calculated with a user-configurable Risk:Reward multiplier. Alerts for entries can be enabled.
This strategy is intended for breakout style trading where a clearly defined intraday range is established at a fixed time. It is simple, transparent and easy to adapt to multiple symbols and timeframes.
How it works (step-by-step)
On every bar the script checks the current UTC time.
When the first bar that matches the configured Target Hour:Target Minute (UTC) appears, the script records that candle’s high and low. This defines the breakout range.
A box and dashed lines are drawn on the chart to display the range and extended to the right while the range is active.
The script then waits for price to close outside the box:
Close > Range High → Long entry
Close < Range Low → Short entry
When an entry triggers:
Stop-loss = opposite range boundary (range low for longs, range high for shorts).
Take-profit = entry ± (risk × Risk:Reward). Risk is computed as the distance between entry price and stop-loss.
After entry the range becomes inactive (waitingForBreakout = false) until the next configured target time.
Inputs / Parameters
Target Hour (UTC) — the hour (0–23) in UTC when the range candle is detected.
Target Minute — minute (0–59) of the target candle.
Risk:Reward Ratio — multiplier for computing take profit from risk (0.5–10). Example: 2 means TP = entry + 2×risk.
Enable Alerts — turn on/off entry alerts (string message sent once per bar when an entry occurs).
Show Last Box Only (internal behavior) — when enabled the previous box is deleted at the next range creation so only the most recent range is visible (default behavior in the script).
Visuals & On-chart Info
A semi-transparent blue box shows the recorded range and extends to the right while active.
Dashed horizontal lines mark the range high and low.
On-chart shapes: green triangle below bar for Long signals, red triangle above bar for Short signals.
An information table (top-right) displays:
Target Time (UTC)
Active Range (Yes / No)
Range High
Range Low
Risk:Reward
Alerts
If Enable Alerts is on, the script sends an alert with the following formats when an entry occurs:
Long alert:
🟢 LONG SIGNAL
Entry Price:
Stop Loss:
Take Profit:
Short alert:
🔴 SHORT SIGNAL
Entry Price:
Stop Loss:
Take Profit:
Use TradingView's alert dialog to create alerts based on the script — select the script’s alert condition or use the alert() messages.
Recommended usage & tips
Timeframe: This strategy works on any timeframe but the definition of "candle at target time" depends on the chart timeframe. For intraday breakout styles, use 1m — 60m charts depending on the session you want to capture.
Target Time: Choose a time that is meaningful for the instrument (e.g., market open, economic release, session overlap). All times are handled in UTC.
Position Sizing: The script’s example uses strategy.percent_of_equity with 100% default — change default_qty_value or strategy settings to suit your risk management.
Filtering: Consider combining this breakout with trend filters (EMA, ADX, etc.) to reduce false breakouts.
Backtesting: Always backtest over a sufficiently large and recent sample. Pay attention to slippage and commission settings in TradingView’s strategy tester.
Known behavior & limitations
The script registers the breakout on close outside the recorded range. If you prefer intrabar breakout rules (e.g., high/low breach without close), you must adjust the condition accordingly.
The recorded range is taken from a single candle at the exact configured UTC time. If there are missing bars or the chart timeframe doesn't align, the intended candle may differ — choose the target time and chart timeframe consistently.
Only a single active position is allowed at a time (the script checks strategy.position_size == 0 before entries).
Example setups
EURUSD (Forex): Target Time 07:00 UTC — captures London open range.
Nifty / Index: Target Time 09:15 UTC — captures local session open range.
Crypto: Target Time 00:00 UTC — captures daily reset candle for breakout.
Risk disclaimer
This script is educational and provided as-is. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Use proper risk management, test on historical data, and consider slippage and commissions. Do not trade real capital without sufficient testing.
Change log
v1.0 — Initial release: range capture, box and level drawing, long/short entry by close breakout, SL at opposite boundary, TP via Risk:Reward, alerts, info table.
If you want, I can also:
Provide a short README version (2–3 lines) for the TradingView “Short description” field.
Add a couple of suggested alert templates for the TradingView alert dialog (if you want alerts that include variable placeholders).
Convert the disclaimer into multiple language versions.
KIMSHA AIODescription
The KIMSHA AIO is a comprehensive overlay indicator designed for swing and position traders. It merges three distinct and powerful trading strategies into a single, cohesive tool to identify high-probability setups in stocks that are in confirmed uptrends.
What the Indicator Does:
Combines Three Strategies: Integrates a multi-scanner breakout system, a mean-reversion model, and a multi-year breakout tool into one indicator.
Main Modules
Signals Module:
1. Features six unique scanner signals (CS1-CS6) to identify a variety of bullish consolidation patterns.
2. Includes a full trade management framework with RVC (Red Volume Candle), PBP (Post Breakout Pivot Entry), and ISL (Initial Stop Loss) levels.
3. Identifies powerful Episodic Pivot (EP) and EP Entry (EPE) signals for stocks showing exceptional strength.
Reversal Module:
1. A mean-reversion strategy that primarily uses Bollinger Bands to find oversold conditions.
2. Provides a three-stage signal process: RA (Reversal Setup), Entry 1, and Entry 2 to time entries from a potential bottom.
Multi-Year Breakout (MYBO) Module:
1. Automatically identifies and plots historical, multi-year resistance and support levels.
2. Generates a clear signal when the price breaks out above these significant long-term levels.
Advanced Alerts: Features a highly customizable alert system that can be timed to trigger either on the bar's close or at a specific time of day, allowing for end-of-day style notifications.
How to Best Use It:
This indicator is most powerful when used with a systematic, rules-based approach. The core principle is to use long-term moving averages to define the trend and then use the indicator's signals to time entries within that trend.
The Foundation (Trend Filter): The most important rule is to only consider long setups on stocks where the 150-day SMA is above the 200-day EMA, and the 150-day SMA is sloping upwards. This keeps you aligned with the primary uptrend.
Strategy 1: The Momentum Breakout (PBP Entry)
1. Confirm the stock meets the primary trend filter rules.
2. Wait for an AIO setup signal (Super, Pls Buy, etc.) to draw a PBP line.
3. Enter when the price crosses above the PBP line or wait for a pull back after the price has crossed the PBP line.
Strategy 2: The Mean Reversion (RA Entry)
1. Confirm the stock meets the primary trend filter rules.
2. Wait for an "RA" (Reversal Setup) signal to appear on the chart.
3. Enter on the "ENTRY 1" (Risky Entry) or "ENTRY 2" signal (Safer Entry) or wait for a pull back after "ENTRY 1" or "ENTRY 2" signal.
Strategy 3: Multi-Year Breakout (MYBO) :
1. A breakout triangle (orange or fuchsia) appears below the candle, signaling a close above the "Recent High" (Orange) or "Older High" (Fuchsia).
2. Recent High refers to the highest price the stock has reached in last 12 months. Breaking above the "Recent High" is a sign of strong current demand.
3. Older High refers to the highest price the stock reached in a more distant, historical period - the period between 5 years ago and 1 year ago. Breaking above the "Older High" is a sign of VERY strong demand as it has broken a historic high.
4. Wait for a breakout triangle to appear on the chart.
5. Enter on the high of the candle marked with a breakout triangle or wait for a pull back after that signal.
Customize Your View: Use the "Inputs" tab to enable/disable the modules you want to focus on and configure the alerts you want to receive. Use the "Style" tab to hide any visual elements you don't need to keep your chart clean.
Word of Caution: Some signals based on higher timeframes (Monthly, Weekly, 3-Hour) may appear mid-period and could change before the higher timeframe bar closes, due to the settings used for accurate chart alignment.

NOVA Breakout Signals v2.2 (TF M30)A clean, rules-based breakout signal tool for 30-minute charts.
It detects Dow swing breakouts and filters them with RSI, MACD and Volume so you only see the higher-quality entries. The script does not place trades and does not calculate SL/TP – it only prints clear LONG/SHORT labels at the entry price.
⸻
How it works
1. Timeframe enforcement – Signals are generated only on M30. On other timeframes the script shows a notice and stays silent.
2. Breakout engine (Dow swings) – The last confirmed swing high/low (pivots) is tracked.
• Breakout Up: bar closes above the last swing high by a small buffer.
• Breakout Down: bar closes below the last swing low by a small buffer.
3. Quality filters (all must be true):
• RSI (default length 30):
• Long: RSI > threshold and rising.
• Short: RSI < threshold and falling.
• MACD (12/26/9):
• Long: histogram > 0 and line > signal.
• Short: histogram < 0 and line < signal.
• Volume: current volume > SMA(volume, 20) × multiplier.
4. Debounce / anti-spam
• Cooldown of 4 hours (8 M30 bars) after any signal.
• Minimum price distance from the previous signal to avoid clustered labels.
Signals appear once the bar closes (barstate.isconfirmed). No swing lines are drawn to keep the chart clean; only entry labels are shown.
⸻
Inputs (key)
• RSI length & thresholds for Long/Short confirmation.
• MACD uses 12/26/9 (fixed).
• Volume multiplier (relative to SMA 20).
• Breakout buffer %, Cooldown hours, Min distance %.
• Show labels (on/off).
⸻
Usage tips
• Start with gold/major FX/indices on M30; use “Once per bar close” if you attach alerts.
• Increase the breakout buffer and volume multiplier in choppy markets.
• Tighten RSI thresholds (e.g., 55/45) if you want fewer but stronger signals.
⸻
Notes & limitations
• Pivots confirm after a few bars by definition; signals themselves are printed only on confirmed bar close and do not repaint once shown.
• This is a signal indicator, not investment advice. Always manage risk.

Magnus Bestest 2This indicator is a sophisticated version of my Magnus Bestest signature move only as this script is highly advanced and has a huge amount of lines of code and structures so I had to create a new separate indicator for it. It signals only when there is a very nice liquidity and broken pivot points, confirming a truly nice trade opportunity.
My main indicator named Magnus Bestest is still working great and has all the other signals and alerts.

**Algo Trading Signals** is a sophisticated intraday trading indicator designed for algorithmic traders and active day traders. This system generates precise buy and sell signals based on a dynamic box breakout strategy with intelligent position management, add-on entries, and automatic target adjustment.
The indicator creates a reference price box during a specified time window (default: 9:15 AM - 9:45 AM IST) and generates high-probability signals when price breaks out of this range with confirmation.

## 💡 How It Works
### **Phase 1: Box Formation (9:15 AM - 9:45 AM)**
The indicator tracks the high and low prices during your specified time window to create a reference box representing the opening range.
### **Phase 2: Breakout Detection**
After the box is locked, the system monitors for:
- **Bullish Breakout**: Price closes above box high for confirmation bars
- **Bearish Breakout**: Price closes below box low for confirmation bars
### **Phase 3: Signal Generation**
When confirmation requirements are met:
- Entry signal is generated with clear visual label
- Target price is calculated (Entry ± Target Points)
- Position tracking activates
- Cooldown timer starts
### **Phase 4: Position Management**
During active trade:
- **Add-On Logic**: If price pulls back by specified distance but stays within favorable range, additional entry signal fires
- **Target Monitoring**: Continuously checks if price reaches TP level
- **Box Adjustment**: After TP hit, box automatically shifts to new range for next opportunity
### **Phase 5: Trade Exit & Reset**
On target hit:
- Position closes with TP marker
- Statistics update
- Box repositions for next setup
- Cooldown activates
- System ready for next signal

Pivot Trend Flow [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
Pivot Trend Flow turns raw swing points into a clean, adaptive trend band. It averages recent pivot highs and lows to form two dynamic reference levels; when price crosses above the averaged highs, trend flips bullish and a green band is drawn; when it crosses below the averaged lows, trend flips bearish and a red band is drawn. During an uptrend the script highlights breakouts of previous pivot highs with ▲ labels, and during a downtrend it flags breakdowns of previous pivot lows with ▼ labels—making structure shifts and continuation signals obvious.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Pivot-Based Averages : Recent pivot highs/lows are collected and averaged to create smoothed upper/lower reference levels.
if not na(ph)
phArray.push(ph)
if not na(pl)
plArray.push(pl)
if phArray.size() > avgWindow
upper := phArray.avg()
phArray.shift()
if plArray.size() > avgWindow
lower := plArray.avg()
plArray.shift()
Trend State via Crosses : Close above the averaged-highs ⇒ bullish trend; close below the averaged-lows ⇒ bearish trend.
Trend Band : A colored band (green/red) is plotted and optionally filled to visualize the active regime around price.
Structure Triggers :
In bull mode the tool watches for prior pivot-high breakouts (▲).
In bear mode it watches for prior pivot-low breakdowns (▼).
🔵 FEATURES
Adaptive Trend Detection from averaged pivot highs/lows.
Clear Visuals : Green band in uptrends, red band in downtrends; optional fill for quick read.
Breakout/Breakdown Labels :
▲ marks breaks of previous pivot highs in uptrends
▼ marks breaks of previous pivot lows in downtrends
Minimal Clutter : Uses compact lines and labels that extend only on confirmation.
Customizable Colors & Fill for trend states and band styling.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Pivot Length : Sets how swing points are detected. Smaller = more reactive; larger = smoother.
Avg Window (pivots) : How many recent pivot highs/lows are averaged. Increase to stabilize the band; decrease for agility.
Read the Band :
Green band active ⇒ prioritize longs, pullback buys toward the band.
Red band active ⇒ prioritize shorts, pullback sells toward the band.
Trade the Triggers :
In bull mode, ▲ on a prior pivot-high break can confirm continuation.
In bear mode, ▼ on a prior pivot-low break can confirm continuation.
Combine with Context : Use HTF trend, S/R, or volume for confluence and to filter signals.
Fill Color Toggle : Enable/disable band fill to match your chart style.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Pivot Trend Flow converts swing structure into an actionable, low-lag trend framework. By blending averaged pivots with clean breakout/breakdown labels, it clarifies trend direction, timing, and continuation spots—ideal as a core bias tool or a confirmation layer in any trading system.
Bollinger Keltner Squeeze Indicator (BBKC)Bollinger Keltner Squeeze Indicator (BBKC)This single-pane indicator combines the power of Bollinger Bands (BB) and Keltner Channels (KC) to accurately identify periods of low volatility compression—the famous Squeeze—which often precedes large, directional moves.Designed for traders utilizing Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution (AMD) strategies, this tool makes spotting the 'Accumulation' phase simple and visually clear, perfect for high BTC Beta equities or futures markets like MES and MNQ.Key Features:Clear Squeeze Visualization:The background of the main chart is shaded Orange when the Squeeze is active (BB is inside KC). This immediately highlights periods of extreme compression.A simple Red/Green Dot below the chart confirms the Squeeze state (Red = Squeeze ON, Green = Squeeze OFF).Momentum Histogram:A built-in momentum oscillator smooths price action and guides the anticipated direction of the breakout.Teal/Orange Bars: Indicate momentum direction while the Squeeze is active (building pressure).Bright Green/Red Bars: Indicate momentum direction after the Squeeze has broken (expansion/breakout).How to Find Maximum Volatility Compression (The "Tightest" Squeeze)To align this indicator with a strategy focused on catching only the most extreme volatility compression—the key to those explosive moves—traders should adjust the Keltner Channel Multiplier setting.Setting Name: KC Multiplier (ATR)Default Value: 1.5Recommended Adjustment: To filter for only the absolute tightest squeezes (where price is least volatile), decrease this multiplier value, typically down to 1.25 or even 1.0.By lowering the KC Multiplier (ATR), you narrow the Keltner Channel boundaries. This requires the Bollinger Bands to compress even further to fit inside, ensuring the indicator only signals the Squeeze state during moments of truly minimal volatility, setting you up for maximum opportunity.
Initial Balance Breakout Signals [LuxAlgo]The Initial Balance Breakout Signals help traders identify breakouts of the Initial Balance (IB) range.
The indicator includes automatic detection of IB or can use custom sessions, highlights top and bottom IB extensions, custom Fibonacci levels, and goes further with an IB forecast with two different modes.
🔶 USAGE
The initial balance is the price range made within the first hour of the trading session. It is an intraday concept based on the idea that high volume and volatility enter the market through institutional trading at the start of the session, setting the tone for the rest of the day.
The initial balance is useful for gauging market sentiment, or, in other words, the relationship between buyers and sellers.
Bullish sentiment: Price trades above the IB range.
Mixed sentiment: Price trades within the IB range.
Bearish sentiment: Price trades below the IB range.
The initial balance high and low are important levels that many traders use to gauge sentiment. There are two main ideas behind trading around the IB range.
IB Extreme Breakout: When the price breaks and holds the IB high or low, there is a high probability that the price will continue in that direction.
IB Extreme Rejection: When the price tries to break those levels but fails, there is a high probability that it will reach the opposite IB extreme.
This indicator is a complete Initial Balance toolset with custom sessions, breakout signals, IB extensions, Fibonacci retracements, and an IB forecast. All of these features will be explained in the following sections.
🔹 Custom Sessions and Signals
By default, sessions for Initial Balance and breakout signals are in Auto mode. This means that Initial Balance takes the first hour of the trading session and shows breakout signals for the rest of the session.
With this option, traders can use the tool for open range trading, making it highly versatile. The concept behind open range (OR) is the same as that of initial balance (IB), but in OR, the range is determined by the first minute, three or five minutes, or up to the first 30 minutes of the trading session.
As shown in the image above, the top chart uses the Auto feature for the IB and Breakouts sessions. The bottom chart has the Auto feature disabled to use custom sessions for both parameters. In this case, the first three minutes of the trading session are used, turning the tool into an Open Range trading indicator.
This chart shows another example of using custom sessions to display overnight NASDAQ futures sessions.
The left chart shows a custom session from the Tokyo open to the London open, and the right chart shows a custom session from the London open to the New York open.
The chart shows both the Asian and European sessions, their top and bottom extremes, and the breakout signals from those extremes.
🔹 Initial Balance Extensions
Traders can easily extend both extremes of the Initial Balance to display their preferred targets for breakouts. Enable or disable any of them and set the IB percentage to use for the extension.
As the chart shows, the percentage selected on the settings panel directly affects the displayed levels.
Setting 25 means the tool will use a quarter of the detected initial balance range for extensions beyond the IB extremes. Setting 100 means the full IB range will be used.
Traders can use these extensions as targets for breakout signals.
🔹 Fibonacci Levels
Traders can display default or custom Fibonacci levels on the IB range to trade retracements and assess the strength of market movements. Each level can be enabled or disabled and customized by level, color, and line style.
As we can see on the chart, after the IB was completed, prices were unable to fall below the 0.236 Fibonacci level. This indicates significant bullish pressure, so it is expected that prices will rise.
Traders can use these levels as guidelines to assess the strength of the side trying to penetrate the IB. In this case, the sellers were unable to move the market beyond the first level.
🔹 Initial Balance Forecast
The tool features two different forecasting methods for the current IB. By default, it takes the average of the last ten values and applies a multiplier of one.
IB Against Previous Open: averages the difference between IB extremes and the open of the previous session.
Filter by current day of the week: averages the difference between IB extremes and the open of the current session for the same day of the week.
This feature allows traders to see the difference between the current IB and the average of the last IBs. It makes it very easy to interpret: if the current IB is higher than the average, buyers are in control; if it is lower than the average, sellers are in control.
For example, on the left side of the chart, we can see that the last day was very bullish because the IB was completely above the forecasted value. This is the IB mean of the last ten trading days.
On the right, we can see that on Monday, September 15, the IB traded slightly higher but within the forecasted value of the IB mean of the last ten Mondays. In this case, it is within expectations.

Tristan's Box: Pre-Market Range Breakout + RetestMarket Context:
This is designed for U.S. stocks, focusing on pre-market price action (4:00–9:30 AM ET) to identify key support/resistance levels before the regular session opens.
Built for 1 min and 5 min timelines, and is intended for day trading / scalping.
Core Idea:
Pre-market range (high/low) often acts as a magnet for price during regular hours.
The first breakout outside this range signals potential strong momentum in that direction.
Retest of the breakout level confirms whether the breakout is valid, avoiding false moves.
Step-by-Step Logic:
Pre-Market Range Identification:
Track high and low from 4:00–9:30 AM ET.
Draw a box spanning this range for visual reference and calculation.
Breakout Detection:
When the first candle closes above the pre-market high → long breakout.
When the first candle closes below the pre-market low → short breakout.
The first breakout candle is highlighted with a “YOLO” label for visual confirmation.
Retest Confirmation:
Identify the first candle whose wick touches the pre-market box (high touches top for short, low touches bottom for long).
Wait for the next candle: if it closes outside the box, it confirms the breakout.
Entry Execution:
Long entry: on the confirming candle after a wick-touch above the pre-market high.
Short entry: on the confirming candle after a wick-touch below the pre-market low.
Only the first valid entry per direction per day is taken.
Visuals & Alerts:
Box represents pre-market high/low.
Top/bottom box border lines show the pre-market high / low levels cleanly.
BUY/SELL markers are pinned to the confirming candle.
Added a "YOLO" marker on breakout candle.
Alert conditions trigger when a breakout is confirmed by the retest.
Strategy Type:
Momentum breakout strategy with confirmation retest.
Combines pre-market structure and risk-managed entries.
Designed to filter false breakouts by requiring confirmation on the candle after the wick-touch.
In short, it’s a pre-market breakout momentum strategy: it uses the pre-market high/low as reference, waits for a breakout, and then enters only after a confirmation retest, reducing the chance of entering on a false spike.
Always use good risk management.
