Market Structure Break with Volume & ATR#### Indicator Overview:
The *Market Structure Break with Volume & ATR (MSB+VolATR)* indicator is designed to identify significant market structure breakouts and breakdowns using a combination of price action, volume analysis, and volatility (ATR). It is particularly useful for traders who rely on higher timeframes for swing trading or positional trading. The indicator highlights bullish and bearish breakouts, retests, fakeouts, and potential buy/sell signals based on RSI overbought/oversold conditions.
---
### Key Features:
1. *Market Structure Analysis*:
- Identifies swing highs and lows on a user-defined higher timeframe.
- Detects breakouts and breakdowns when price exceeds these levels with volume and ATR validation.
2. *Volume Validation*:
- Ensures breakouts are accompanied by above-average volume, reducing the likelihood of false signals.
3. *ATR Filter*:
- Filters out insignificant breakouts by requiring the breakout size to exceed a multiple of the ATR.
4. *RSI Integration*:
- Adds a momentum filter by considering overbought/oversold conditions using RSI.
5. *Visual Enhancements*:
- Draws colored boxes to highlight breakout zones.
- Labels breakouts, retests, and fakeouts for easy interpretation.
- Displays stop levels for potential trades.
6. *Alerts*:
- Provides alert conditions for buy and sell signals, enabling real-time notifications.

### Input Settings and Their Effects:
1. **Timeframe (tf):
- Determines the higher timeframe for market structure analysis.
- *Effect*: A higher timeframe (e.g., 1D) reduces noise and provides more reliable swing points, while a lower timeframe (e.g., 4H) may generate more frequent but less reliable signals.
2. **Lookback Period (length):
- Defines the number of historical bars used to identify significant highs and lows.
- *Effect*: A longer lookback period (e.g., 50) captures broader market structure, while a shorter period (e.g., 20) reacts faster to recent price action.
3. **ATR Length (atr_length):
- Sets the period for ATR calculation.
- *Effect*: A shorter ATR length (e.g., 14) reacts faster to recent volatility, while a longer length (e.g., 21) smooths out volatility spikes.
4. **ATR Multiplier (atr_multiplier):
- Filters insignificant breakouts by requiring the breakout size to exceed ATR × multiplier.
- *Effect*: A higher multiplier (e.g., 0.2) reduces false signals but may miss smaller breakouts.
5. **Volume Multiplier (volume_multiplier):
- Sets the volume threshold for breakout validation.
- *Effect*: A higher multiplier (e.g., 1.0) ensures stronger volume confirmation but may reduce the number of signals.
6. **RSI Length (rsi_length):
- Defines the period for RSI calculation.
- *Effect*: A shorter RSI length (e.g., 10) makes the indicator more sensitive to recent price changes, while a longer length (e.g., 20) smooths out RSI fluctuations.
7. *RSI Overbought/Oversold Levels*:
- Sets the thresholds for overbought (default: 70) and oversold (default: 30) conditions.
- *Effect*: Adjusting these levels can make the indicator more or less conservative in generating signals.
8. **Stop Loss Multiplier (SL_Multiplier):
- Determines the distance of the stop-loss level from the entry price based on ATR.
- *Effect*: A higher multiplier (e.g., 2.0) provides wider stops, reducing the risk of being stopped out prematurely but increasing potential losses.
---
### How It Works:
1. *Breakout Detection*:
- A bullish breakout occurs when the close exceeds the highest high of the lookback period, with volume above the threshold and breakout size exceeding ATR × multiplier.
- A bearish breakout occurs when the close falls below the lowest low of the lookback period, with similar volume and ATR validation.
2. *Retest Logic*:
- After a breakout, if price retests the breakout zone without closing beyond it, a retest label is displayed.
3. *Fakeout Detection*:
- If price briefly breaks out but reverses back into the range, a fakeout label is displayed.
4. *Buy/Sell Signals*:
- A sell signal is generated when price reverses below a bullish breakout zone and RSI is overbought.
- A buy signal is generated when price reverses above a bearish breakout zone and RSI is oversold.
5. *Stop Levels*:
- Stop-loss levels are plotted based on ATR × SL_Multiplier, providing a visual guide for risk management.
---
### Who Can Use It and How:
1. *Swing Traders*:
- Use the indicator on daily or 4-hour timeframes to identify high-probability breakout trades.
- Combine with other technical analysis tools (e.g., trendlines, Fibonacci levels) for confirmation.
2. *Positional Traders*:
- Apply the indicator on weekly or daily charts to capture long-term trends.
- Use the stop-loss levels to manage risk over extended periods.
3. *Algorithmic Traders*:
- Integrate the buy/sell signals into automated trading systems.
- Use the alert conditions to trigger trades programmatically.
4. *Risk-Averse Traders*:
- Adjust the ATR and volume multipliers to filter out low-probability trades.
- Use wider stop-loss levels to avoid premature exits.
---
### Where to Use It:
- *Forex*: Identify breakouts in major currency pairs.
- *Stocks*: Spot trend reversals in high-volume stocks.
- *Commodities*: Trade breakouts in gold, oil, or other commodities.
- *Crypto*: Apply to Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other cryptocurrencies for volatile breakout opportunities.
---
### Example Use Case:
- *Timeframe*: 1D
- *Lookback Period*: 50
- *ATR Length*: 14
- *ATR Multiplier*: 0.1
- *Volume Multiplier*: 0.5
- *RSI Length*: 14
- *RSI Overbought/Oversold*: 70/30
- *SL Multiplier*: 1.5
In this setup, the indicator will:
1. Identify significant swing highs and lows on the daily chart.
2. Validate breakouts with volume and ATR filters.
3. Generate buy/sell signals when price reverses and RSI confirms overbought/oversold conditions.
4. Plot stop-loss levels for risk management.

Salman Indicator: Multi-Purpose Price ActionSalman Indicator: Multi-Purpose Price Action Tool for Pin Bars, Breakouts, and VWAP Anchoring
This indicator provides a comprehensive suite of price action insights, designed for active traders looking to identify key market structures and potential reversals. The script incorporates a Quarterly VWAP for trend bias, marks pin bars for possible reversal points, highlights outside bars for volatility signals, and indicates simple breakouts and pivot-level breaks. Customizable settings allow for flexibility in various trading styles, with default settings optimized for daily charts.
Outside Bars : Represented by an ⤬ symbol on the chart, these indicate bars where the current high is greater than the previous bar’s high, and the low is lower than the previous bar’s low, signaling high volatility and potential market reversals.
Pin Bars : Denoted by a small dot at the top or bottom of a candle’s wick, these are crucial signals of potential reversal areas. Pin bars are identified based on the percentage length of their shadows, with adjustable strictness in settings.
Quarterly VWAP : The light blue line on the chart represents the VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price), which is anchored to the Quarterly period by default. The VWAP acts as a directional bias filter, helping you to determine underlying market trends. This period, source, and offset are fully adjustable in the script’s settings.
Simple Breaks : Hollow candles on the chart indicate "simple breaks," defined when the current bar closes above the previous high or below the previous low. This is an effective way to highlight directional momentum in the market.
Bonus Pivot Breaks : The tilde symbol ~ appears when the price closes above or below prior pivot high/low levels, helping traders spot significant breakout or breakdown points relative to recent pivots.
Alerts
Simple Breaks : Alerts you when a breakout occurs beyond the previous bar’s high or low. Pin Bars : Notifies you of potential reversal points as indicated by bullish or bearish pin bars. Outside Bars : Triggers an alert whenever an outside bar is detected, indicating possible volatility changes.
How to Use
VWAP for Trend Bias : Use the Quarterly VWAP line to gauge overall market trend, with settings that allow adjustment to daily, weekly, monthly, or even larger time frames.
Pin Bars for Reversal Potential : Look for the dot markers on candle wicks, where the strictness of the pin bar detection can be adjusted via settings to match your trading preference.
Simple and Pivot Breaks for Momentum : Watch for hollow candles and the tilde symbol ~ as indicators of potential breakout momentum and pivot break levels, respectively.
This script can serve traders on multiple timeframes, from daily to weekly and beyond. The flexible configuration allows for adjustments in VWAP anchoring and pin bar criteria, providing a tailored fit for individual trading strategies.
US 30 Daily Breakout Strategy The US 30 Daily Breakout Strategy (Single Trade Per Breakout/Breakdown) is a trading approach for the US 30 (Dow Jones Industrial Average) that aims to capture breakout or breakdown moves based on the previous day’s high and low levels. The strategy includes mechanisms to take only one trade per breakout (or breakdown) each day and ensures that each trade is executed only when no other trade is open.
Entry Conditions:
Long Trade (Breakout): The strategy initiates a long position if the current candle closes above the previous day's high, indicating an upward breakout. Only one breakout trade can occur per day, regardless of whether the price remains above the previous high.
Short Trade (Breakdown): The strategy initiates a short position if the current candle closes below the previous day's low, indicating a downward breakdown. Similarly, only one breakdown trade can occur per day.
Risk Management:
Take Profit and Stop Loss: Each trade has a take profit and stop loss of 50 points, aiming to cap profit and limit loss effectively for each position.
Daily Reset Mechanism:
At the start of each new day (based on New York time), the strategy resets its flags, allowing it to look for new breakout or breakdown trades. This reset ensures that only one trade can be taken per breakout or breakdown level each day.
Execution Logic
Flags for Trade Limitation: Flags (breakout_traded and breakdown_traded) are used to ensure only one breakout or breakdown trade is taken per day. These flags reset daily.
Dynamic Plotting: The previous day’s high and low are plotted on the chart, providing a visual reference for potential breakout or breakdown levels.
Overall Objective
This strategy is designed to capture single-directional daily moves by identifying significant breakouts or breakdowns beyond the previous day’s range. The fixed profit and loss limits ensure the trades are managed with controlled risk, while the daily reset feature prevents overtrading and limits each trade opportunity to one breakout and one breakdown attempt per day.

The Bullish Breakout After Consolidation Indicator is designed to help traders identify potential bullish breakout opportunities following a period of tight price consolidation. This indicator combines price action and volume analysis to signal when a stock may experience a significant upward movement.
Features:
Consolidation Range Tightness: The indicator identifies periods where the stock price consolidates within a narrow range, defined as a range less than 2% of the lowest low during the consolidation period. This tight consolidation is often a precursor to strong price movements.
Breakout Detection: Once the price breaks above the highest high of the consolidation range, and this breakout occurs after a specified number of days post-consolidation, the indicator marks it as a potential breakout opportunity.
Volume Confirmation: To avoid false breakouts, the indicator requires increased trading volume during the breakout. This ensures that the breakout is supported by substantial market activity.
Visual Cues:
Breakout Label: A "Breakout" label appears above the bar where a valid breakout occurs, making it easy to spot potential entry points.

Heads UpAn indicator that gives you the "heads up" that that bullish/ bearish strength is increasing.
I wanted an indicator that could give me the "heads up" that bullish/ bearish strength is increasing. This would help me get into a breakout early or avoid entering a breakout that had a high probability of failure.
Here are my definitions for this indicator:
My bull bar definition:
- A green candle that closes above 75% of it's candle range.
- The candle's body does not overlap the previous candle's body. Tails/ wicks CAN overlap.
My bear bar definition:
- A red candle that closes below 75% of it's candle range.
- the candle's body does not overlap the previous candle's body. Tails/ ticks CAN overlap.
Bullish strength increasing (arrow up):
- Bull bars are increasing in size (the candle's range) compared to previous 5 bars.
- 2 consecutive bull bars.
Bearish strength increasing (arrow down):
- Bear bars are increasing in size (the candle's range) compared to previous 5 bars.
- 2 consecutive bear bars.
You will not see this indicator trigger very often but when it does - it's because there is a change in bullish bearish strength.
Things to be aware of:
Use the indicator in line with the context of the previous trend. You will get triggers that fail. These are usually because they appear counter trend. When in doubt zoom out.
It will not call every successful breakout. If you understand the definitions you'll understand why it appears.
This is my first indicator and used for my personal use. Feedback and other ideas are welcome.
Price Action - Support & Resistance by DGTSᴜᴘᴘᴏʀᴛ ᴀɴᴅ Rᴇꜱɪꜱᴛᴀɴᴄᴇ , is undoubtedly one of the key concepts of technical analysis
█ Sᴜᴘᴘᴏʀᴛ ᴀɴᴅ Rᴇꜱɪꜱᴛᴀɴᴄᴇ Dᴇꜰɪɴɪᴛɪᴏɴ
Support and Resistance terms are used by traders to refer to price levels on charts that tend to act as barriers, preventing the price of an financial instrument from getting pushed in a certain direction.
A support level is a price level where buyers are more aggressive than sellers. This means that the price is more likely to "bounce" off this level rather than break through it. However, once the price has breached this level it is likely to continue falling until meeting another support level.
A resistance level is the opposite of a support level. It is where the price tends to find resistance as it rises. Again, this means that the price is more likely to "bounce" off this level rather than break through it. However, once the price has breached this level it is likely to continue rising until meeting another resistance level.
A previous support level will sometimes become a resistance level when the price attempts to move back up, and conversely, a resistance level will become a support level as the price temporarily falls back.
█ Iᴅᴇɴᴛɪꜰʏɪɴɢ Sᴜᴘᴘᴏʀᴛ ᴀɴᴅ Rᴇꜱɪꜱᴛᴀɴᴄᴇ
Support and resistance can come in various forms, and the concept is more difficult to master than it first appears. Identification of key support and resistance levels is an essential ingredient to successful technical analysis.
If the price stalls and reverses in the same price area on minimum of two different occasions, then a horizontal line is drawn to show that the market is struggling to move past that area. Those areas are static barriers, one of the most popular forms of support/resistance and are highlighted with horizontal lines.
Repeated test , the more often a support/resistance level is "tested" over an extended period of time (touched and bounced off by price), the more significance is given to that specific level
High volume , the more buying and selling that has occurred at a particular price level, the stronger the support or resistance level is likely to be
Market psychology , plays a major role as traders and investors remember the past and react to changing conditions to anticipate future market movement.
Psychological levels , is a price level that significantly affects the price of an underlying financial instrument. Typically, near round numbers often serve as support and resistance
The following support and resistance related topics are beyond the scope of this study, so they will be mentioned roughly only as a reference for support and resistance concept
Trendlines , Support and resistance levels in trends are dynamic. Throughout an uptrend, levels of support tend to look like a trendline, usually clustering around higher lows. As the price rises, the price where buyers consider the stock to be “too cheap” also changes, which creates new support levels on the way up. The same is also true for resistance levels. In an uptrend, a stock is continuously breaking through perceived resistance levels and making new highs
Moving Averages , is a constantly changing line that smooths out past price data while also allowing the trader to identify support and resistance. In the example Notice how the price of the asset finds support at the moving average when the trend is up, and how it acts as resistance when the trend is down
The Fibonacci Retracement/Extension tool , is a favorite among many short-term traders because it clearly identifies levels of potential support and resistance
Pivot Point Calculations , is another common technical analysis technique, where pivot point is calculated based on the high, low, and closing prices of previous trading session/day and support & resistance levels are projected based on the pivot point, different calculation techniques are available, as presented in this example of an pivot point indicator : PVTvX by DGT
█ Tʀᴀᴅɪɴɢ Bᴀꜱᴇᴅ ᴏɴ Sᴜᴘᴘᴏʀᴛ ᴀɴᴅ Rᴇꜱɪꜱᴛᴀɴᴄᴇ
Once an area or "zone" of support or resistance has been identified, those price levels can serve as potential entry or exit points because, as a price reaches a point of support or resistance, it will do one of two things—bounce back away from the support or resistance level (trading ranges), or violate the price level and continue in its direction (trading breakouts) —until it hits the next support or resistance level
The basic trading method for using support and resistance is to buy near support in uptrends or the parts of ranges or chart patterns where prices are moving up and to sell/sell short near resistance in downtrends or the parts of ranges and chart patterns where prices are moving down. Buying near support or selling near resistance can pay off, but there is no assurance that the support or resistance will hold. Therefore, consider waiting for some confirmation that the market is still respecting that area
Trading breakouts, a breakout is a potential trading opportunity that occurs when an asset's price moves above a resistance level or moves below a support level on increasing volume. The first step in trading breakouts is to identify current price trend patterns along with support and resistance levels in order to plan possible entry and exit points. Once the asset trades beyond the price barrier, volatility tends to increase and prices usually trend in the breakout's direction. Breakouts are such an important trading strategy since these setups are the starting point for future volatility increases, large price swings and, in many circumstances, major price trends. When trading breakouts, it is important to consider the underlying asset's support and resistance levels. The more times an asset price has touched these areas, the more valid these levels are and the more important they become. At the same time, the longer these support and resistance levels have been in play, the better the outcome when the asset price finally breaks out. Asset prices will often move slightly further than we expect them to. This doesn't happen all the time, but when it does it is called a false breakout. Therefore it is important to consider waiting for some confirmation while trading breakouts. It’s also popular for traders to sell 50% of their positions at the resistance level, and hold the rest in anticipation of a breakout above resistance
█ Pʀɪᴄᴇ Aᴄᴛɪᴏɴ - Sᴜᴘᴘᴏʀᴛ & Rᴇꜱɪꜱᴛᴀɴᴄᴇ ʙʏ DGT Sᴛᴜᴅʏ
This experimental study attempts to identify the support and resistance levels. Assumes a simple logic to discover moments where the price is rising or falling consecutively for minimum 3 bars with the condition volume increases on each bar and the last bar’s volume should be bigger than the long term volume moving average. A line will be drawn at the end of the move (highest or lowest, depending on the move direction), the line will be drawn at minimum on the 3rd bar and if condition holds for other consecutive bars the line will switch to 4th, 5th etc bar.
Lines will not be deleted so the historical ones will remain and will emphasis the levels significance when they overlap in feature. Strong levels are more likely to hold and cause the price to move in the other direction, whereas the minor levels may only cause the price to pause and keep moving in the same direction. Determining future levels of support and resistance can drastically improve the returns of a short-term investing strategy
Bar colors will be painted based on the volume of the specific bar to its long term volume moving average. This will help identifying the support and resistance levels significance and emphasis the sings of breakouts
Finally, Volume spikes will be marked on top of the price chart. A high volume usually indicates more interest in the security and the presence of institutional traders. However, a rapidly rising price in an uptrend accompanied by a huge volume may be a sign of exhaustion. Traders usually look for breaks of support and resistance to enter positions. When security break critical levels without volume , you should consider the breakout suspect and prime for a reversal off the highs/lows. Volume spikes are often the result of news-driven events. Volume spike will often lead to sharp reversals since the moves are unsustainable due to the imbalance of supply and demand
A good example with many support and resistance concepts observed on a stock chart and detected by the study
Settings:
Length of volume moving average, where volume moving average is used to detect support and resistance levels, is used as reference to compare with threshold values for volume spikes and colors of the bars
Hint, to get more historical lines scrolling chart to left will enable visualization of them. Please note they may appear to much all 500 line limit is used 😉

Mickey's Breaker Engine⚡ Breaker Engine | Auto Retest + Smart R:R Targets
A precision-grade breaker-block detection system built for traders who live and breathe clean structure.
This indicator automatically detects Breaker Candles, confirms them, marks their zones, and executes intelligent retest-based entry logic — complete with Stop-Loss and Risk-to-Reward (R:R) tracking up to 3R (or any custom ratio).
🧠 Core Concept
A Breaker Block is a structural shift where price violates liquidity from a failed order block and flips the zone’s polarity — turning a former supply into demand (or vice-versa).
This script identifies those setups automatically, confirms them only after a valid structure break, and waits for a clean retest to trigger a trade signal.
🚀 Key Features
⚙️ Smart Zone Detection
Detects both Bullish Breakers and Bearish Breakers.
Zones are drawn precisely using the breaker’s middle candle body (or full wick range if enabled).
Fully configurable transparency, width, and extension for better visual context.
🎯 Auto Retest Entry Logic
Entry triggers only on a clean retest, not on immediate breakout.
Includes logical filters to ensure retests are structurally valid and not overlapping candles.
Works in any timeframe or market — crypto, forex, indices, or commodities.
💡 Dynamic Risk–Reward Tracking
Automatically plots 1R, 2R, 3R, ...R targets based on your defined stop range.
Risk is calculated from entry to zone boundary or ATR offset.
Each target label appears precisely when hit.
Targets automatically stop updating once Stop-Loss is triggered.
🧱 Visual Clarity
BUY 🟢 / SELL 🔴 bubbles at entries.
SL ❌ marker when stop is hit.
🎯 1R / 2R / 3R labels dynamically plotted when each reward level is reached.
Non-overlapping placement using ATR-based spacing.
⚡ Real-Time Alerts - Instant alerts for:
✅ “Breaker BUY” – Clean retest confirmed (Long setup)
✅ “Breaker SELL” – Clean retest confirmed (Short setup)
❌ “Breaker BUY SL” – Stop hit for Long
❌ “Breaker SELL SL” – Stop hit for Short
🧩 Customization Panel
| Setting | Description |
| :-------------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **ATR Length** | Controls volatility-based offset sizing. |
| **Entry / SL Offset × ATR** | Adjusts label spacing and dynamic positioning. |
| **Risk-Reward Ratio** | Define default R:R (e.g. 1:3). |
| **Multiple Retests** | Enable if you want the same breaker zone to allow multiple retests/entries. |
| **Banner Design** | Control opacity, extension, and wick usage for the breaker block visualization. |
| **Color Controls** | Choose your BUY/SELL/SL bubble colors to match your chart theme. |
⚙️ Underlying Logic (At a Glance)
Pattern Detection:
Identifies a 5-bar sequence that forms a valid Breaker Candle (the middle bar flips structure).
Confirmation:
Requires a follow-through candle to validate a real liquidity break.
Zone Registration:
Stores the breaker zone’s body range in arrays for tracking.
Clean Retest Entry:
Waits for price to retest the zone from the opposite side and close cleanly inside.
Stop Loss / Target Projection:
Defines stop loss just beyond the zone and plots up to 3 × reward targets dynamically.
Monitoring & Alerts:
Tracks each setup independently until either an R-target or SL is reached.
💬 Recommended Usage
Works best with market-structure traders, smart-money concepts, or liquidity-based systems.
Combine it with an external displacement confirmation or BOS/CHOCH tool for best precision.
Ideal for backtesting breaker-based R:R consistency or forward-testing retest entries.
Compatible with any asset / timeframe.

Sentinel 5 — OHL daybreak signals [KedArc Quant]Overview
Sentinel 5 plots the first-bar high/low of each trading session and gives clean, rules-based signals in two ways:
1) OHL Setups at the close of the first bar (Open equals/near High for potential short; Open equals/near Low for potential long).
2) Breakout Signals later in the session when price breaks the first-bar High/Low, with optional body/penetration filters.
Basic workflow
1. Wait for the first session bar to finish.
*If O≈H (optionally by proximity) → short setup. •
*If O≈L → long setup. • If neither happens, optionally allow later breakouts.
2. Optional: Act only on breakouts that penetrate a minimum % of that bar’s range/body.
3. Skip the day automatically if the first bar is abnormally large (marubozu-like / extreme ATR / outsized vs yesterday).
Signals & Markers
Markers on the chart:
▲ O=L (exact) / O near L (proximity) – long setup at first-bar close.
▼ O=H (exact) / O near H (proximity) – short setup at first-bar close.
▲ Breakout Long – later bar breaks above first-bar High meeting your penetration rule.
▼ Breakout Short – later bar breaks below first-bar Low meeting your penetration rule.
Angle Market Structure [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
Angle Market Structure is a smart pivot-based tool that dynamically adapts to price action by accelerating breakout and breakdown detection. It draws market structure levels based on pivot highs/lows and gradually adjusts those levels closer to price using an angle threshold. Upon breakout, the indicator projects deviation zones with labeled levels (+1, +2, +3 or −1, −2, −3) to track price extension beyond structure.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Adaptive Market Structure: Uses pivots to define structure levels, which dynamically angle closer to price over time to capture breakouts sooner.
Breakout Acceleration: Pivot high levels decrease and pivot low levels increase each bar using a user-defined angle (based on ATR), improving reactivity.
Deviation Zones: Once a breakout or breakdown occurs, 3 deviation levels are projected to show how far price extends beyond the breakout point.
Count Labels: Each successful structure break is numbered sequentially, giving traders insight into momentum and trend persistence.
Visual Clarity: The script uses colored pivot points, trend lines, and extension labels for easy structural interpretation.
🔵 FEATURES
Calculates pivot highs and lows using a customizable length.
Applies an angle modifier (ATR-based) to gradually pull levels closer to price.
Plots breakout and breakdown lines in distinct colors with automatic extension.
Shows deviation zones (+1, +2, +3 or −1, −2, −3) after breakout with customizable size.
Color-coded labels for trend break count (bullish or bearish).
Dynamic label sizing and theme-aware colors.
Smart label positioning to avoid chart clutter.
Built-in limit for deviation zones to maintain clarity and performance.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use pivot-based market structure to identify breakout and breakdown zones.
Watch for crossover (up) or crossunder (down) events as trend continuation or reversal signals.
Observe +1/+2/+3 or -1/-2/-3 levels for overextension opportunities or trailing stop ideas.
Use breakout count as a proxy for trend strength—multiple counts suggest momentum.
Combine with volume or order flow tools for higher confidence entries at breakout points.
Adjust the angle setting to fine-tune sensitivity based on market volatility.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Angle Market Structure enhances traditional pivot-based analysis by introducing breakout acceleration and structured deviation tracking. It’s a powerful tool for traders seeking a cleaner, faster read on market structure and momentum strength—especially during impulsive price moves or structural transitions.

Logistic Regression Support / Resistance Features :
Intelligent S/R Identification : The indicator uses a logistic regression model to intelligently identify and plot significant support and resistance levels.
Predictive Probability : Each identified level comes with a calculated probability, indicating how likely it is to act as a true support or resistance based on historical data.
Retest & Break Labels : The indicator clearly marks on your chart when a detected support or resistance level is retested (price touches and respects the level) or broken (price decisively crosses through the level).
Alerts : Real-time alerts for support retests, resistance retests, support breaks, and resistance breaks.
Customizable : You can change support & resistance line style, width and colors.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
What makes this indicator truly unique is its application of logistic regression to the concept of support and resistance. Instead of merely identifying historical highs and lows, our indicator uses a statistical model to predict the future efficacy of these levels. It analyzes underlying market conditions (like RSI and body size at pivot formation) to assign a probability to each potential S/R zone. This predictive insight, combined with dynamic, real-time labeling of retests and breaks, provides a more robust and adaptive understanding of market structure than traditional, purely historical methods.
📌HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The Logistic Regression Support / Resistance indicator operates in several key steps:
First, it identifies significant pivot highs and lows on the chart based on a user-defined "Pivot Length." These pivots are potential areas of support or resistance.
For each detected pivot, the indicator extracts relevant market data at that specific point, including the RSI (Relative Strength Index) and the Body Size (the absolute difference between the open and close price of the candle). These serve as input features for the model.
The core of the indicator lies in its logistic regression model. This model is continuously trained on past pivot data and their subsequent behavior (i.e., whether they were "respected" as support/resistance multiple times). It learns the relationship between the extracted features (RSI, Body Size) and the likelihood of a pivot becoming a significant S/R level.
When a new pivot is identified, the model uses its learned insights to calculate a prediction value—a probability (from 0 to 1) that this specific pivot will act as a strong support or resistance.
If the calculated probability exceeds a user-defined "Probability Threshold," the pivot is designated a "Regression Pivot" and drawn on the chart as a support or resistance line. The indicator then actively tracks how price interacts with these levels, displaying "R" labels for retests when the price bounces off the level and "B" labels for breaks when the price closes beyond it.
⚙️ SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Pivot Length: This setting defines the number of bars used to determine a significant high or low for pivot detection.
Target Respects: This input specifies how many times a level must be "respected" by price action for it to be considered a strong support or resistance level by the underlying model.
Probability Threshold: This is the minimum probability output from the logistic regression model for a detected pivot to be considered a valid support or resistance level and be plotted on the chart.
2. Style
Show Prediction Labels: Enable or disable labels that display the calculated probability of a newly identified regression S/R level.
Show Retests: Toggle the visibility of "R" labels on the chart, which mark instances where price has retested a support or resistance level.
Show Breaks: Toggle the visibility of "B" labels on the chart, which mark instances where price has broken through a support or resistance level.
Time-Weighted Price Action IndicatorThe Time-Weighted Price Action Indicator is a simple yet effective tool designed to detect consolidation zones based on time duration and highlight potential reversal points using a contrarian breakout logic. Instead of following traditional breakout strategies, this indicator aims to capitalize on false breakouts and reversal entries.
How It Works
• The indicator identifies a price range (zone) using a configurable lookback period.
• If the price remains within this range for a specified number of bars (threshold), a consolidation zone is confirmed.
• Once a breakout or breakdown from this zone occurs, the indicator triggers a reversed signal — suggesting a potential reversal instead of a trend-following entry.
• Support and resistance levels are marked visually, and BUY/SELL labels are plotted when price re-enters the zone, indicating potential exhaustion or traps.
Key Features
• ✅ Time-based consolidation detection
• ✅ Contrarian signal logic (Buy at breakdowns, Sell at breakouts)
• ✅ Dynamic zone plotting with support/resistance visualization
• ✅ Auto-reset after each breakout for fresh zone detection
• ✅ Visual labels and alerts for BUY/SELL signals
How to Use
• Ideal for range-bound markets or identifying trap zones around support/resistance.
• Use in conjunction with volume, momentum, or trend filters to refine entries.
• Can complement mean reversion strategies or be used as a signal confirmation tool.
Why This Combination?
This approach blends time-based consolidation logic with a contrarian price action perspective, offering traders a different lens to analyze markets. Instead of blindly following breakouts, it highlights areas where price rejections and false breakouts often occur — common in algorithm-driven markets.
Why It’s Worth Using
This indicator helps you stay ahead of trap zones, identify reversal spots, and understand price behavior in consolidation zones — a critical edge, especially in sideways or choppy markets. It adds context to price movement, helping traders avoid common breakout failures.
Note:
• No performance guarantees or exaggerated claims.
• No solicitation or promotional language used.
• This is a free, open-source educational tool meant to aid price action understanding.
Dynamic Breakout Master by tradingbauhaus 🌟 Code Description:
This Pine Script implements a trading strategy called "Dynamic Breakout Master" 💥. The core idea of the strategy is to identify breakouts (price movements) at key support 💙 and resistance 🔴 levels, through a dynamic channel that adapts to the market’s conditions. Here's how it works:
🔧 Customizable Input Parameters:
🧭 Pivot Period: This defines the number of bars (candles) to the left and right used to detect pivots (highs and lows) that mark the support and resistance zones.
📊 Data Source: You can choose whether to use highs and lows or closes and opens of the candles to identify the pivots.
📏 Max Channel Width: Specifies the maximum width allowed for the support/resistance channel, expressed as a percentage over the last 300 bars.
💪 Minimum Pivot Strength: This defines the minimum number of pivots needed for a support or resistance level to be considered valid.
🏔 Max Support/Resistance Zones: Limits the number of key zones displayed on the chart.
📅 Lookback Period: Adjusts how many bars back the system should check to find and validate support and resistance levels.
🎨 Custom Colors: You can choose colors for the support, resistance, and in-channel zones.
📉 Moving Averages (MA): The strategy allows adding up to two moving averages (SMA or EMA) to assist in making trading decisions.
📊 Calculating Support/Resistance Levels:
The system uses an algorithm to identify pivots from prices and calculates dynamic support and resistance zones 🔒🔓.
The closer the pivots are and the stronger their influence, the more relevant the zone becomes for the strategy.
The dynamic channel is drawn on the chart, with a maximum width limit for these zones defined by the input parameter.
📈 Trading Logic:
🚀 Identifying Breakouts:
The strategy looks for when the price breaks (breakouts) a resistance or support level.
If the price breaks upward through the resistance level, a buy order 📈 is triggered.
If the price breaks downward through the support level, a sell order 📉 is triggered.
🔔 Alerts:
Resistance Break (ResBreak) and Support Break (SupBreak) alerts are configured to notify users when a significant breakout occurs.
💰 Commissions:
The strategy includes a commission (0.1%) to simulate transaction costs for each trade.
📊 Chart Visualization:
The support and resistance zones are displayed as colored rectangles:
🔴 Resistance (red) and
🔵 Support (blue).
Pivots of support and resistance can be labeled as P (for resistance) and V (for support).
Breakouts of support or resistance levels are marked with triangles that appear on the chart 🔺🔻.
📈 Trading Strategy:
If the price breaks upward through the resistance level, a long position (buy) 📈 is opened.
If the price breaks downward through the support level, a short position (sell) 📉 is opened.
🏆 Conclusion:
This script is a dynamic breakout strategy 💥 that allows traders to capture significant price movements when support or resistance channels break. The customizable parameters let users fine-tune the strategy according to their preferences, while the visual alerts on the chart make it easier to follow trading opportunities. The inclusion of moving averages and key price zones adds an extra layer of analysis to improve decision-making 💡.

Support and Resistance Signals MTF [LuxAlgo]The Support and Resistance Signals MTF indicator aims to identify undoubtedly one of the key concepts of technical analysis Support and Resistance Levels and more importantly, the script aims to capture and highlight major price action movements, such as Breakouts , Tests of the Zones , Retests of the Zones , and Rejections .
The script supports Multi-TimeFrame (MTF) functionality allowing users to analyze and observe the Support and Resistance Levels/Zones and their associated Signals from a higher timeframe perspective.
This script is an extended version of our previously published Support-and-Resistance-Levels-with-Breaks script from 2020.
Identification of key support and resistance levels/zones is an essential ingredient to successful technical analysis.
🔶 USAGE
Support and resistance are key concepts that help traders understand, analyze and act on chart patterns in the financial markets. Support describes a price level where a downtrend pauses due to demand for an asset increasing, while resistance refers to a level where an uptrend reverses as a sell-off happens.
The creation of support and resistance levels comes as a result of an initial imbalance of supply/demand, which forms what we know as a swing high or swing low. This script starts its processing using the swing highs/lows. Swing Highs/Lows are levels that many of the market participants use as a historical reference to place their trading orders (buy, sell, stop loss), as a result, those price levels potentially become and serve as key support and resistance levels.
One of the important features of the script is the signals it provides. The script follows the major price movements and highlights them on the chart.
🔹 Breakouts (non-repaint)
A breakout is a price moving outside a defined support or resistance level, the significance of the breakout can be measured by examining the volume. This script is not filtering them based on volume but provides volume information for the bar where the breakout takes place.
🔹 Retests
Retest is a case where the price action breaches a zone and then revisits the level breached.
🔹 Tests
Test is a case where the price action touches the support or resistance zones.
🔹 Rejections
Rejections are pin bar patterns with high trading volume.
Finally, Multi TimeFrame (MTF) functionality allows users to analyze and observe the Support and Resistance Levels/Zones and their associated Signals from a higher timeframe perspective.
🔶 SETTINGS
The script takes into account user-defined parameters to detect and highlight the zones, levels, and signals.
🔹 Support & Resistance Settings
Detection Timeframe: Set the indicator resolution, the users may examine higher timeframe detection on their chart timeframe.
Detection Length: Swing levels detection length
Check Previous Historical S&R Level: enables the script to check the previous historical levels.

ORB Breakout Strategy with VWAP and Volume FiltersOverview
This strategy implements the classic Opening Range Breakout (ORB) methodology, a well-documented approach in trading literature that has been used by institutional and retail traders for decades. The strategy identifies the high and low of the first 15 minutes of the trading session, then trades breakouts with defined risk management.
This implementation includes multiple customizable filters (VWAP, Volume, Candle Strength) that traders can enable, disable, and tune to find configurations that work for their specific markets and trading style.
How It Works
Opening Range Calculation
The strategy captures the high and low of the first N bars after the session open (default: 3 bars on a 5-minute chart = 15 minutes). These levels become the breakout triggers for the session.
Entry Logic
Long Entry: When a bar closes above the ORB High and all enabled filters pass
Short Entry: When a bar closes below the ORB Low and all enabled filters pass
Exit Logic
Take Profit: Configurable multiple of the ORB range (default: 1x = full range beyond breakout level)
Stop Loss: Opposite side of the ORB range
Breakeven: Optional stop adjustment to entry price when trade reaches configurable profit threshold
Session Close: All positions automatically closed at end of trading session
Configurable Filters
All filters can be independently enabled or disabled:
1. VWAP Filter
Requires price above/below session-anchored VWAP
Requires VWAP slope confirmation (configurable lookback and minimum slope)
Purpose: Align trades with intraday trend direction
2. Volume Filter
Requires minimum volume on the breakout bar
Purpose: Confirm institutional participation in the breakout
3. Candle Strength Filter
Requires close in upper/lower portion of the bar range
Purpose: Filter out weak breakouts with poor conviction

Williams Volatility Channel (Full Range Breakout)Overview
This indicator implements a volatility breakout system inspired by legendary trader Larry Williams. It plots daily breakout levels calculated as the previous day’s close ± the full previous day’s range (high – low). These levels act as extreme volatility expansion thresholds:
- Upper Level: Previous close + previous day’s range
- Lower Level: Previous close – previous day’s range
A price move beyond these levels signals a strong directional breakout driven by expanded volatility — a classic Larry Williams concept for identifying potential trend continuation or acceleration days.
This version uses the full prior range (multiplier = 1.0), making it more aggressive than Williams’ original examples (which often used smaller fractions like 0.25–0.5 × range). It is particularly useful on instruments with clear daily sessions and visible overnight gaps or volatility spikes.
Key Features
Daily breakout levels plotted as horizontal lines that update at the start of each new trading day.
Optional semi-transparent fill between upper and lower levels for better visual channel perception.
Subtle background shading on the first bar of each new day and new week for easier time orientation.
Configurable colors and visibility toggles.
Generic session duration input (informational only) to help estimate candles per day on non-standard markets (e.g., European indices ≈ 8.5h, US stocks ≈ 6.5h, crypto ≈ 24h).
How to Use the Indicator
Breakout Signals
Bullish Breakout: Price closes or sustains above the Upper Level → potential strong upward momentum. Consider long entries or adding to existing longs.
Bearish Breakout: Price closes or sustains below the Lower Level → potential strong downward momentum. Consider short entries or adding to existing shorts.
These breakouts often occur on news events, earnings, or when the market “wakes up” after low-volatility periods.
Trend Confirmation
Use the direction of the breakout to confirm the prevailing trend: In an uptrend, focus primarily on upside breakouts.
In a downtrend, focus primarily on downside breakouts.
Breakouts against the trend can signal potential reversals (use with caution and additional confirmation).
Support & Resistance
Once price has broken a level, that level often flips role: A broken Upper Level can act as support on pullbacks.
A broken Lower Level can act as resistance on bounces.
Risk Management
Place stops beyond the opposite level or use ATR-based stops.
Consider partial profit-taking at 1× or 2× the prior day’s range from entry.
Best Markets & Timeframes
Works well on: Stock indices (DAX, FTSE MIB, CAC, S&P 500 futures, etc.)
Individual stocks
Commodities and futures with defined daily sessions
Cryptocurrencies (adjust session hours to 24 for continuous markets)
Recommended intraday timeframes: 5–60 minutes. On higher timeframes (4H, daily), the levels still appear but are less frequently tested intraday.
Important Notes
This is a trend-following / momentum tool, not a mean-reversion or gap-fading strategy (unlike Larry Williams’ famous “OOPS” pattern).
False breakouts can occur in low-volatility or ranging markets — always use additional confluence (volume, trend filters, higher-timeframe context).
The session duration input is informational and allows definition of how many candles per day should be used in the calculation.
This indicator provides a clean, visually intuitive way to spot high-volatility breakout opportunities based on one of Larry Williams’ timeless volatility concepts. Add it to your charts and combine it with your existing trading system for enhanced entry timing on strong momentum days.
Hyper Squeeze Sniper (Dual Side: Long + Short)Hyper Squeeze Sniper (Dual Side Strategy)
This script is a comprehensive Volatility Breakout System designed to identify and trade explosive price moves following periods of consolidation. It combines the classical "Squeeze" theory with Linear Regression Momentum, Volume Analysis, and an ATR-based Trailing Stop to filter false signals and manage risk effectively.
The script operates on a logic of "Compression -> Explosion -> Trend Following" suitable for both Long and Short positions.
🛠 Detailed Methodology (How it works)
1. The Squeeze Detection (Consolidation) The core concept relies on the relationship between Bollinger Bands (BB) and Keltner Channels (KC).
Condition: When the Bollinger Bands (Standard Deviation) contract and fall inside the Keltner Channels (ATR based), it indicates a period of extremely low volatility (The Squeeze).
Visual: The background turns Gray to indicate "Do Not Trade / Wait Mode".
2. Momentum Confirmation (Linear Regression) Instead of using standard lagging indicators, this script utilizes Linear Regression of the price deviation to determine the direction of the breakout.
If the Linear Regression Slope > 0, the bias is Bullish.
If the Linear Regression Slope < 0, the bias is Bearish.
3. Volume Validation To avoid fake breakouts, a Volume Spike filter is applied. A signal is only valid if the current volume exceeds its moving average by a defined multiplier (Default x1.2).
4. Risk Management: ATR Trailing Stop Once a trade is entered, the script calculates a dynamic Trailing Stop based on the Average True Range (ATR).
- Long: The stop line trails below the price and never moves down.
- Short: The stop line trails above the price and never moves up.
- Exit: The position is closed immediately when the price breaches this volatility-based safety line.
How to Use
1. Wait: Look for the Gray Background. This is the accumulation phase.
2. Entry:
LONG: Wait for a Green Triangle ▲ (Price breaks Upper BB + Vol Spike + Bullish Momentum).
SHORT: Wait for a Red Triangle ▼ (Price breaks Lower BB + Vol Spike + Bearish Momentum).
3. Exit: Close the position when the "X" mark appears or when candles cross the trailing safety line.
Settings
- BB Length/Mult: Adjust the sensitivity of the squeeze detection.
- Vol Spike Factor: Increase this to filter out low-volume breakouts.
- ATR Period/Mult: Adjust the trailing stop distance (Higher = Wider stop for swing trading).
PM Range Breaker [CHE] PM Range Breaker — Premarket bias with first-five range breaks, optional SWDEMA regime latch, and simple two-times-range targets
Summary
This indicator sets a once-per-day directional bias during New York premarket and then tracks a strict first-five-minutes range from the session open. After the first five complete, it marks clean breakouts and can project targets at two times the measured range. A second mode latches an EMA-based regime to inform the bias and optional background tinting. A compact panel reports live state, first-five levels, and rolling hit rates of both bias modes using a user-defined midday close for statistics.
Motivation: Why this design?
Intraday traders often get whipsawed by early noise or by fast flips in trend filters. This script commits to a bias at a single premarket minute and then waits for the market to present an objective structure: the first-five range. Breaks after that window are clearer and easier to manage. The alternative SWDEMA regime gives a slower, latched context for users who prefer a trend scaffold rather than a midpoint reference.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Baseline: Typical open-range-breakout lines or a single moving-average filter without daily commitment.
Architecture differences:
Bias decision at a fixed New York time using either a midpoint lookback (“Classic”) or a two-EMA regime latch (“SWDEMA”).
Strict five-minute window from session open; breakout shapes print only after that window.
Single-shot breakout direction per session (debounce) and optional two-times-range targets.
On-chart panel with hit rates using a configurable midday close for statistics.
Practical effect: Cleaner visuals, fewer repeated signals, and a traceable daily decision that can be evaluated over time.
How it works (technical)
Time handling uses New York session times for premarket decision, open, first-five end, and a midday statistics checkpoint.
Classic bias: A midpoint is computed from the highest and lowest over a user period; at the premarket minute, the bias is set long when the close is above the midpoint, short otherwise.
SWDEMA bias: Two EMAs define a regime score that requires price and trend agreement; when both agree on a confirmed bar, the regime latches. At the premarket minute, the daily bias is set from the current regime.
The first-five range captures high and low from open until the end minute, then freezes. Breakouts are detected after that window using close-based cross logic.
The script draws range lines and optional targets at two times the frozen range. A session break direction latch prevents duplicate break markers.
Statistics compare daily open and a configurable midday close to record if the chosen bias aligned with the move.
Optional elements include EMA lines, midpoint line, latched-regime background, and regime switch markers.
Data aggregation for day logic and the first-five window is sampled on one-minute data with explicit lookahead off. On charts above one minute, values update intra-bar until the underlying minute closes.

SWDEMA Lengths (Blue/Red) — Periods for the two EMAs — Defaults: 144 and 312 — Longer values reduce flips.
Sources (Blue/Red) — Price sources — Defaults: Close and HLC3 — Adjust if you prefer consistency.
Offsets (Blue/Red) — Pixel offsets for EMA plots — Defaults: zero — Use only for visual shift.
Show Latched Regime Background — Background by SWDEMA regime — Default: Off — Separate from session bias.
Latched Background Transparency — Opacity of regime background — Default: eighty-eight — Lower value for stronger tint.
Show Latch Switch Markers — Plot regime change markers — Default: Off — For auditing regime changes.
Bias Mode — Classic midpoint or SWDEMA latch — Default: Classic — Choose per your style.
Background Mode — Session bias or SWDEMA regime — Default: Session — Decide which background narrative you want.
Reading & Interpretation
Panel: Shows the active bias, first-five high and low, and a state that reads Building during the window, Ready once frozen, and Break arrows when a breakout occurs. Hit rates show the percentage of days where each bias mode aligned with the midday move.
Colors and shapes: Green background implies long bias; red implies short bias. Triangle markers denote the first valid breakout after the first-five window. Optional regime markers flag regime changes.
Lines: First-five high and low form the core structure. Optional targets mark a level at two times the frozen range from the breakout side.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Choose a bias mode. Wait for the first clean breakout after the first-five window in the direction of the bias. Confirm with structure such as higher highs and higher lows or lower highs and lower lows.
Exits and risk: Conservative users can trail behind the opposite side of the first-five range. Aggressive users can scale near the two-times-range target.
Multi-asset and multi-TF: Works well on intraday timeframes from one minute upward. For non-US sessions, adjust the time inputs to the instrument’s regular trading hours.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint and confirmation: Bias and regime decisions use confirmed bars. Breakout signals evaluate on bar close at the chart timeframe. On higher timeframes, minute-based sources update within the live bar until the minute closes.
security and HTF: The script samples one-minute data. Lookahead is off. Values stabilize once the source minute closes.
Resources: `max_bars_back` is five thousand. Drawing objects and the panel update efficiently, with position extensions handled on the last bar.
Known limits: Midday statistics use the configured time, not the official daily close. Session logic assumes New York session timing. Targets are simple multiples of the first-five range and do not adapt to volatility beyond that structure.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with Classic bias, midpoint lookback at three hundred, and all visuals on.
Too many flips in context → switch to SWDEMA mode or increase EMA lengths.
Breakouts feel noisy → extend the first-five end by a minute or two, or wait for a retest by your own rules.
Too sluggish → reduce midpoint lookback or shorten EMA lengths.
Chart cluttered → hide EMA or midpoint lines and keep only range levels and breakout shapes.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a visualization and signal layer for session bias and first-five structure. It does not manage orders, position sizing, or risk. It is not predictive. Use it alongside market structure, execution rules, and independent risk controls.

Intelligent Currency Breakout ChannelIndicator: Intelligent Currency Breakout Channel
This document provides a detailed explanation of the "Intelligent Currency Breakout Channel" indicator for TradingView.
1. Overview
The Intelligent Currency Breakout Channel is an advanced technical analysis tool designed to identify periods of price consolidation and signal potential breakouts. It automatically draws channels around ranging price action and utilizes sophisticated volume analysis to provide deeper insights into market sentiment. The indicator also includes a built-in logarithmic regression screener to help traders align their breakout signals with the broader market trend.
2. Key Features
Automatic Channel Detection: The indicator identifies periods of low volatility and automatically draws a containing channel (box) around the price action.
Breakout Signals: It generates clear visual alerts (▲ for bullish, ▼ for bearish) when the price closes decisively outside of a channel.
In-Depth Volume Analysis: Within each channel, the indicator plots volume as candlestick-like bars, offering three distinct modes: Total Volume, Buy/Sell Comparison, and Volume Delta. This helps traders gauge the strength and conviction behind price movements.
Real-time Sentiment Gauge: When a channel is active, a dynamic color-graded gauge appears on the right side of the chart. It visualizes the current volume delta momentum relative to its recent range, offering an at-a-glance sentiment reading.
Integrated Trend Screener: A secondary analysis tool based on logarithmic regression is included to determine the underlying trend direction (Up, Down, or Neutral), which can be used to filter breakout signals.
Fully Customizable: Users can extensively customize all parameters, from calculation lengths and breakout sensitivity to the visual appearance of every component.
3. How to Use
Channel Formation: Watch for the indicator to draw a new channel. This signifies that the market is in a consolidation or ranging phase. The formation of a channel itself can be an alertable event.
Volume Interpretation: Observe the volume bars inside the channel. An increase in volume as the price approaches the channel's upper or lower boundary can foreshadow a potential breakout. Use the Volume Display Mode to analyze if buying pressure (Comparison, Delta) or selling pressure is building.
Breakout Confirmation: A bullish breakout signal (▲) appears when the price closes above the channel's upper boundary. A bearish breakout signal (▼) appears when the price closes below the lower boundary. For higher-quality signals, enable the Strong Closes Only option.
Trend Confirmation (Screener): Use the screener's plot and background color to confirm the broader trend. For instance, you might choose to only take bullish breakout signals when the screener indicates an uptrend (green background) and bearish signals when it indicates a downtrend (red background).
Sentiment Gauge: The pointer on the gauge indicates current momentum. A pointer in the upper (green) section suggests bullish pressure, while a pointer in the lower (red) section suggests bearish pressure. This can provide additional confluence for a trade decision.
4. Settings and Inputs
Main Settings
Overlap Channels: If enabled, allows multiple channels to be drawn on the chart simultaneously, even if they overlap. When disabled, a new channel will only form if it doesn't intersect with an existing one.
Strong Closes Only: If enabled, a breakout is only triggered if the midpoint of the candle's body (average of open and close) is outside the channel. This helps filter out false signals caused by long wicks. If disabled, any close outside the channel triggers a breakout.
Normalization Length: The lookback period (in bars) used for price normalization. A higher value creates a more stable normalization but may be slower to react to recent price changes.
Box Detection Length: The lookback period used to detect the channel formation pattern. A lower value will result in more frequent channels but may be more sensitive to noise. A higher value will result in fewer, but potentially more significant, channels.
Volume Analysis
Show Volume Analysis: Toggles the visibility of the candlestick-like volume bars inside the channel.
Volume Display Mode:
Volume: Displays total volume as symmetrical bars around the channel's midline.
Comparison: Shows buying volume (green) above the midline and selling volume (red) below it.
Delta: Shows the net difference between buying and selling volume. Positive delta is shown above the midline, and negative delta is shown below.
Volume Delta Timeframe Source: The timeframe from which to source volume data for calculations. Using a lower timeframe can provide a more granular view of volume dynamics.
Volume Scaling: A multiplier that adjusts the vertical size of the volume bars relative to the channel's height.
Appearance
Volume Text Size: Sets the size of the volume data text displayed in the corners of the channel. Options: Tiny, Small, Medium, Large.
Bullish Color: The primary color for all bullish visual elements, including breakout signals and positive volume bars.
Bearish Color: The primary color for all bearish visual elements, including breakout signals and negative volume bars.
Screener Settings
Lookback Period: The number of bars used for the logarithmic regression calculation to determine the trend.
Screener Type:
Log Regression Channel: The signal is based on the slope of the entire regression channel over the lookback period. An upward sloping channel is bullish (1), and a downward sloping one is bearish (-1).
Logarithmic Regression: The signal is based on the most recent value of the regression line compared to its value 3 bars ago. This provides a more responsive measure of the immediate trend.
5. Alerts
You can set up the following alerts through the TradingView alerts panel:
New Channel Formed: Triggers when a new price consolidation channel is detected and drawn on the chart.
Bullish Breakout: Triggers when the price breaks out and closes above the upper boundary of a channel.
Bearish Breakout: Triggers when the price breaks out and closes below the lower boundary of a channel.
Is In Channel: Triggers on every bar that the price is currently trading inside an active channel.
Signal UP: Triggers when the Screener's signal turns bullish (1).
Signal DOWN: Triggers when the Screener's signal turns bearish (-1).
Pivot and Wick Boxes with Break Signals v2█ OVERVIEW
The "Pivot and Wick Boxes with Break Signals v2" is an advanced Pine Script® technical analysis tool that identifies pivot points (highs and lows) on the chart and draws customizable boxes based on the wicks of pivot candles. It is ideal for traders using price action strategies, helping to identify key support and resistance levels and potential breakout trading opportunities. With flexible settings, a volume filter, and label grouping, the indicator ensures clarity and precision on the chart.
█ CONCEPTS
The indicator modifies how zones are drawn, displaying boxes on the latest candle rather than extending from the zones based on pivot candle wicks. This approach prevents visual clutter on the chart, allowing simultaneous use of other indicators without sacrificing clarity.
Why are wicks important?Wicks of pivot candles indicate significant market reactions in key areas. Depending on the context, they may signal rejection, testing, or absorption of support or resistance levels. Long wicks often appear where large players are active, and the marked zones are frequently retested. The indicator enables quick identification and observation of their impact on future price movements.
█ FEATURES
Pivot Detection: Identifies pivot points (highs and lows) based on a user-defined lookback period (Pivot Length), with options to display boxes for high and low pivot candle wicks separately.
Customizable Boxes: Draws boxes based on pivot candle wicks with adjustable border colors, background gradients, border styles (solid, dashed, dotted), and border widths.
Breakout Signals: Generates buy (green upward triangle) and sell (red downward triangle) signals when the price breaks through a pivot and the candle closes on the opposite side, indicating potential trend continuation. If the price approaches a pivot zone but fails to break it, this may suggest a potential trend reversal or the end of a correction.
Volume Filter: Optional volume-based signal filter that requires breakouts to have a volume exceeding a user-defined multiplier of the average volume over a specified period. Note: the volume filter will not work on markets where volume data is unavailable.
Label Grouping: Automatically groups overlapping pivot labels to avoid chart clutter, displaying only key price levels.
█ HOW TO USE
Add to Chart: Apply the indicator to your TradingView chart via the Pine Editor or Indicators menu.
Configure Settings:
Pivot Settings: Adjust Pivot Length to change the sensitivity of pivot detection—the value represents the number of candles, which equals the delay in displaying the pivot. Larger values generate fewer pivots, but they are generally more significant. Set Max High Pivot Boxes and Max Low Pivot Boxes to control the number of displayed boxes.
Signal Settings: Enable Use Volume Filter for Signals to require higher volume for breakouts, and adjust Average Volume Multiplier and Average Volume Period. A volume multiplier of 1 means the filter allows pivots with a volume equal to or greater than the average volume over the specified period.
Box Styling: Configure border colors, background gradients, line thickness, and border styles for high and low pivot boxes.
Interpreting Signals:
Buy Signal: A green triangle below the bar indicates a breakout above a high pivot box, suggesting potential continuation of an uptrend.
Sell Signal: A red triangle above the bar indicates a breakout below a low pivot box, suggesting potential continuation of a downtrend.
Non-Breakout Zones: If the price approaches a pivot zone but fails to break it, it may indicate a potential trend reversal or the end of a correction (e.g., price rejection at a resistance level in a downtrend or a support level in an uptrend).
Overlapping Zones: If pivot zones overlap, it indicates the level has been tested multiple times, suggesting its significance in the market.
Use signals in conjunction with other technical analysis tools for confirmation.
Monitoring Levels: Use labeled pivot levels as potential support and resistance zones for trade planning.
█ APPLICATIONS
Price Action Trading: Use pivot levels as support and resistance zones. For example, in an uptrend, you can look for buying opportunities near low pivot zones (support), where price often bounces after testing the wick of a pivot candle. Combining with other indicators, such as Fibonacci levels, enhances the significance of pivot zones—if they align with Fibonacci levels and are accompanied by high volume, the zone is considered stronger.
Breakout Strategies: Trade based on breakout signals from key pivot zones. A buy signal after a breakout from a high pivot with confirmed volume may indicate continued upward movement. Using the indicator with other tools, such as moving averages or RSI, can help confirm the strength of the breakout.
Practical Approach:
The more frequently a zone is tested in a short period, the higher the risk of a breakout, as supply or demand may be exhausted.
The longer a zone holds without breaking, the more significant it becomes for the market, both psychologically and technically.
As the saying goes: “A zone is strong until it breaks—when it does, a strong move often follows.”
How to observe?
Strong bounces from a zone indicate that demand or supply remains active.
Weaker bounces or price lingering near the level may suggest the market is preparing for a breakout.
█ NOTES
Test the indicator across different timeframes and markets (stocks, forex, crypto) to optimize settings for your trading style.
The volume filter will not work on markets where volume data is unavailable. In such cases, disable the volume filter in the settings.
For best results, use on high-liquidity markets when the volume filter is enabled.
GrayZone Sniper [CHE] — Breakout Validation System GrayZone Sniper — Breakout Validation System
Trade only the clean breakouts. Detect the sideways “gray zone,” wait for a confirmed breach, and act only when momentum (TFRSI) and range expansion (Mean Deviation) align. Clear long/short triggers, one-shot exit signals, and persistent levels keep your manual trading disciplined and repeatable.
Why it boosts manual trading
* No guesswork: Grey box marks consolidation; you trade the validated break.
* Fewer fakeouts: Triggers require momentum + volatility—not just a wick through a level.
* Rules > bias: Optional close-only signals stop intrabar noise.
* Built-in exits: One-shot LS/SS (Long/Short Stop) when conditions degrade.
* Actionable visuals: Gray-zone boxes, persistent highs/lows, and a smooth T3 trendline.
What it does (short + precise)
1. Maps consolidation as a gray box (running high/low while state is neutral).
2. Validates breakouts only when:
* Mean Deviation filter says current range expands vs. its own baseline, and
* TFRSI momentum is above 50 + deadzone (long) or below 50 − deadzone (short), and
* Price closes beyond the last gray high/low (optional close-only).
→ You get L (long) or S (short).
3. Manages exits with a smooth T3 trendline plus MD trend: when MD weakens and T3 turns against the prior side, you get a single LS/SS stop signal.
4. Extends structure: Last gray-zone H/L can persist as right-extended levels for retests/targets.
5. Ready for alerts: Prebuilt alert conditions for L, S, LS, SS.
Signals at a glance
* L – Long Trigger (validated breakout up)
* S – Short Trigger (validated breakout down)
* LS – Long Stop (exit hint for open long)
* SS – Short Stop (exit hint for open short)
Why TFRSI + Mean Deviation is a killer combo
They measure different, complementary things—and that reduces correlated errors.
* Mean Deviation (MD) = range expansion filter. It checks whether current absolute deviation of Typical Price from its SMA (|TP − SMA(TP)|) is greater than its own historical mean deviation baseline. In plain English: *is the market actually moving beyond its usual wiggle?* If not, most breakouts are noise.
* TFRSI = directional momentum around a 50 baseline, normalized and smoothed to react fast while avoiding raw RSI twitchiness.
* Synergy:
* MD confirms there’s energy (volatility regime has expanded).
* TFRSI confirms where that energy points (bull or bear).
* Requiring both gives you high-quality, directional expansion—the exact condition that tends to produce follow-through, while filtering the classic “thin break, immediate snap-back.”
Result: Fewer trades, better quality. You skip most range breaks without momentum or momentum pops without real expansion.
Inputs & Functions (clean overview)
Core: TFRSI & MD
* TFRSI Length (`tfrsiLen`, default 6): Longer = smoother, slower.
* TFRSI Smoothing (`tfrsiSignalLen`, default 2): SMA on TFRSI for cleaner signals.
* Mean Deviation Period (`mdLen`, default 20): Baseline for expansion filter.
* Use classical MD (`useTaDev`, default off):
* Off: MD vs current SMA (warning-free internal baseline).
* On: Classical `ta.dev` implementation.
* TFRSI Deadzone ± around 50 (`tfrsiDeadzone`, default 1.0): Wider deadzone = stricter momentum confirmation (less chop).
Triggers & Logic
* Trigger only on bar close (`fireOnCloseOnly`, default on): Confirmed signals only; no intrabar flicker.
* Reset gray bounds after trigger (`resetGrayBoundsAfterTrigger`, default on): Clears last gray H/L once a trade triggers.
* Auto-deactivate on neutral (`autoDeactivateOnNeutral`, default off): Strict disarm when state flips back to neutral.
Gray-Zone Boxes
* Show boxes (`showGrayBoxes`, default on): Draws the neutral consolidation box.
* Max boxes (`maxGrayBoxes`, default 10): How many historic boxes to keep.
* Transparency (`boxFillTransp`/`boxBorderTransp`, defaults 85/30): Visual tuning.
Trendline (T3)
* T3 Length (`t3Length`, default 3): Smoothing depth (higher = smoother).
* T3 Volume Factor (`t3VolumeFactor`, default 0.7): Controls responsiveness of the T3 curve.
Persistent Levels
* Persist gray H/L (`saveGrayLevels`, default on): Extend last gray high/low to the right.
* Max saved level pairs (`maxSavedGrayLvls`, default 1): How many H/L pairs to keep.
* Reset levels on trigger (`resetLevelsOnTrig`, default off): Clean slate after new trigger.
Debug & Visuals
* Show debug markers (`showDebugMarkers`, default on): Display L/S/LS/SS in the pane.
* Show legend (`showLegend`, default on): Compact legend (top-right).
How to trade it (practical)
1. Keep close-only on. Let the market finish the candle.
2. Wait for a clean gray box. Let the range define itself.
3. Take only L/S triggers where MD filter passes and TFRSI confirms.
4. Use persistent levels for retests/partials/targets.
5. Respect LS/SS. When expansion fades and T3 turns, exit without debate.
Tuning tips:
* More chop? Increase `tfrsiDeadzone` or `mdLen`.
* Want faster entries? Slightly reduce `t3Length` or deadzone, but expect more noise.
* Works across assets/timeframes (crypto/FX/indices/equities).
Bottom line
GrayZone Sniper enforces a simple, robust rule: Don’t touch the market until it breaks a defined range with real expansion and aligned momentum. That’s why TFRSI + Mean Deviation is hard to beat—and why your manual breakout trades get cleaner, calmer, and more consistent.
