RedK Chop & Breakout Scout (C&B_Scout)The RedK Chop & Breakout Scout (C&BS or just CBS) is a centered oscillator that helps traders identify when the price is in a chop zone, where it's recommended to avoid trading or exit existing trades - and helps identify (good & tradeable) price breakouts.
i receive many questions asking for simple ways to identify chops .. Here's one way we can do that.
(This is work in progress - i was exploring with the idea, and wasn't sure how interesting other may find it. )
Quick Intro:
==================
Quick techno piece: This concept is similar to a Stochastic Oscillator - with the main difference being that we're utilizing units of ATR (instead of a channel width) to calculate the main indicator line - which will then lead to a non-restricted oscillator (rather than a +/- 100%) - given that ATR changes with the underlying and the timeframe, among other variables.
to make this easy, and avoid a lot of technical speak in the next part, :) i created (on the top price panel) the same setup that the C&B Scout represents as a lower-panel indicator.
So as you read below, please look back and compare what C&BS is doing in its lower panel, with how the price is behaving on the price chart.
how this works
========================
- To identify chops and breakouts, we need to first agree on a definition that we will use for these terms.
- for the sake of this exercise, let's agree that the price is in a chop zone, as long as the price is moving within a certain distance from a "price baseline" of choice ( which we can adjust based on the underlying, the volatility, the timeframe, the trading style..etc)
- when the price moves out of that chop zone, we consider this a breakout
- Now not all breakouts are "good" = they need to at least happen in the direction of the longer term trend. In this case, we can apply a long Moving Average to act as a filter - and consider breakouts to be "good" if they are in the same direction as the filter line
- With the above background in mind, we establish a price baseline (as you see on the top panel, this is based on the midline of a Donchian Channel - but we can use other slow moving averages in future versions)
- we will decide how far above/below that baseline is considered to be "chop zone" - we do this in terms of units of Average True Range (ATR) - using ATR here is valuable for so many reasons, most of all, how it adjusts to timeframe and volatility of underlying.
- The C&B Scout line simply calculates how far the price is above/below the baseline in terms of "ATR units". and shows how that value compares to our own definition of a "chop zone"
- so as long as the price is within the chop zone, the CBS line will be inside the shaded area - and when the price "breaks out" of the chop zone, the CBS line will also breakout (or down) from the chop zone.
- C&B Scout will give a visual clue to help take trades in the direction of the prevailing trend - the chop zone is green when the price is in "long mode", as in, the price is above the filter line - and will be red when we are in "short mode" - so the price is below the filter line. in green mode, we should only consider breakouts to the upside, and ignore breakouts to the downside (or breakdowns) - in red mode, we should only consider breakouts to the downside., and ignore the ones to the upside.
- i added some examples of "key actions" on the chart to help explain the approach here further.
Usage & settings Notes:
========================
- even though for many traders this will be a basic concept/setup, i still highly suggest you spend time getting used to how it works/reacts and adjusting the settings to suit your own trading style, timeframe, tolerance, what you trade....etc
- for example, if i am a conservative trader, i may consider any price movement within 1 x ATR above and below the baseline to be in "chop" (ATR Channel width = 2 x ATR) - and i want to only take trades when the price moves outside of that range *and* in the direction of the prevailing trend
- An aggressive trader may use a smaller ATR-based value, say 0.5 x ATR above/below the baseline, as their chop zone.
- A swing trader may use a shorter filter line and focus on the CBS line crossing the 0 line.
- .... and so on.
- Also note that the "tradeable" signal is when the CBS line "exits" the chop zone (upward on green background, or downward on red background) - however, an aggressive trader may take the crossing of the CBS line with the 0 line as the signal to open a trade.
- As usual please do not use this indicator "in isolation" and ensure you have other confirming signals from your setups before trading.
conclusion
===========
As i mentioned, this is really a simple concept - and i'm a big fan of those :) -- and there's so much that could be done to expand around it (add more visuals/colors, add alerts, add options for ATR calculation, Filter line calculations, baseline..etc) - but with this v1.0, i wanted to share this initially and see how much interest and how valuable fellow traders find it, before playing any further with it. so please be generous with your comments.

Squeeze Momentum Strategy [LazyBear] Buy Sell TP SL Alerts-Modified version of Squeeze Momentum Indicator by @LazyBear.
-Converted to version 5,
-Taken inspiration from @KivancOzbilgic for its buy sell calculations,
-Used @Bunghole strategy template with Take Profit, Stop Loss and Enable/Disable Toggles
-Added Custom Date Backtesting Module
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All credit goes to above
Problem with original version:
The original Squeeze Momentum Strategy did not have buy sell signals and there was alot of confusion as to when to enter and exit.
There was no proper strategy that would allow backtesting on which further analysis could be carried out.
There are 3 aspects this strategy:
1 ) Strategy Logic (easily toggleable from the dropdown menu from strategy settings)
- LazyBear (I have made this simple by using Kivanc technique of Momentums Moving Average Crossover, BUY when MA cross above signal line, SELL when crossdown signal line)
- Zero Crossover Line (BUY signal when crossover zero line, and SELL crossdown zero line)
2) Long Short TP and SL
- In strategies there is usually only 1 SL and 1 TP, and it is assumed that if a 2% SL giving a good profit %, then it would be best for both long and short. However this is not the case for many. Many markets/pairs, go down with much more speed then they go up with. Hence once we have a profitable backtesting setting, then we should start optimizing Long and Short SL's seperately. Once that is done, we should start optimizing for Long and Short TP's separately, starting with Longs first in both cases.
3) Enable and Disable Toggles of Long and Short Trades
- Many markets dont allow short trades, or are not suitable for short trades. In this case it would be much more feasible to disable "Short" Trading and see results of Long Only as a built in graphic view of backtestor provides a more easy to understand data feed as compared to the performance summary in which you have to review long and short profitability separately.
4) Custom Data Backtesting
- One of most crucial aspects while optimizing for backtesting is to check a strategies performance on uptrends, downtrend and sideways markets seperately as to understand the weak points of strategy.
- Once you enable custom date backtesting, you will see lines on the chart which can be dragged left right based on where you want to start and end the backtesting from and to.
Note:
- Not a financial advise
- Open to feedback, questions, improvements, errors etc.

Breakout Probability (Expo)█ Overview
Breakout Probability is a valuable indicator that calculates the probability of a new high or low and displays it as a level with its percentage. The probability of a new high and low is backtested, and the results are shown in a table— a simple way to understand the next candle's likelihood of a new high or low. In addition, the indicator displays an additional four levels above and under the candle with the probability of hitting these levels.
The indicator helps traders to understand the likelihood of the next candle's direction, which can be used to set your trading bias.
█ Calculations
The algorithm calculates all the green and red candles separately depending on whether the previous candle was red or green and assigns scores if one or more lines were reached. The algorithm then calculates how many candles reached those levels in history and displays it as a percentage value on each line.
█ Example
In this example, the previous candlestick was green; we can see that a new high has been hit 72.82% of the time and the low only 28.29%. In this case, a new high was made.
█ Settings
Percentage Step
The space between the levels can be adjusted with a percentage step. 1% means that each level is located 1% above/under the previous one.
Disable 0.00% values
If a level got a 0% likelihood of being hit, the level is not displayed as default. Enable the option if you want to see all levels regardless of their values.
Number of Lines
Set the number of levels you want to display.
Show Statistic Panel
Enable this option if you want to display the backtest statistics for that a new high or low is made. (Only if the first levels have been reached or not)
█ Any Alert function call
An alert is sent on candle open, and you can select what should be included in the alert. You can enable the following options:
Ticker ID
Bias
Probability percentage
The first level high and low price
█ How to use
This indicator is a perfect tool for anyone that wants to understand the probability of a breakout and the likelihood that set levels are hit.
The indicator can be used for setting a stop loss based on where the price is most likely not to reach.
The indicator can help traders to set their bias based on probability. For example, look at the daily or a higher timeframe to get your trading bias, then go to a lower timeframe and look for setups in that direction.

Qullamaggie Daily with ADR% and Compression RangeQullamaggie Daily
This Indicator is a Combination of Moving Averages (Simple and Exponential) as definied from Qullamaggie and used in his TC2000 Setup
Moving Averages:
- The Moving Averages are Guidelines for the current Trend and are not decive for the Entry
- They shall be a quick view and visual assistance to find strong momentum stock that are currently in a Phase of a "Flag Pattern"
ADR% 20 Day:
- Average Daily Range in % should indicate the Momentum of the Stock. It is similar but still works different as the Volalitily indicators.
- A stock is recommend to a have a ADR% above 5-6 to be considered a Momentum Leading Stock.
Consolidation Range:
- This Indicator should help to define Ranges in which the Volumen get compressed(increase) while the price movement is minimal
- A strong breakout is to be expected. The Range should be easier to be identified with this indication.
Popgun**Popgun**
Eine Popgun wird eine Kerzenformation genannt bei der eine Kerze von zwei anderen "eingeschlossen" ist.
Das heißt die linke und rechte Kerze sind höher und tiefer als die mittlere. Auf solch eine Formation folgt häufig ein Ausbruch in einen Trend.
Sobald eine der folgenden 5 Kerzen über dem Hoch der rechten Kerze schließt erfolgt häufig ein Aufwärtstrend. Sobald eine Kerze unter dem Tief schließt folgt häufig ein Abwärtstrend.
Im Chart oben seht ihr ein Beispiel für eine Popgun. Hierbei habe ich das Hoch/Tief mit einer weißen horizontalen Linie versehen.
Als die Linie durchbrochen wurde folgte ein langer Aufwärtstrend.
** Indikator**
Sobald eine Kerze zwischen zwei anderen eingeschlossen wird zeigt der Indikator die rechte Kerze (also die 3.) mit einem grauen Balken an.
Die Farbe kann in den Einstellungen angepasst werden.
**ALARM FUNKTION**
Es ist möglich mit dem Indikator einen Alarm zu setzen.
Dieser Alarm hat einen automatischen Text der direkt anzeigt auf welchem Chart sich die Popgun befindet.
**RISIKO HINWEIS**
Sie sind für Ihr Handeln selbst verantwortlich. Die Strategie bietet Ihnen lediglich Einstiege nach einem festen System die nicht in allen Fällen funktionieren.
Gewinne sind nicht garantiert und oft abhängig vom richtigen Einstieg/Ausstieg sowie Stopps.
Time Machine█ OVERVIEW
This script is designed to display future and current time resistance levels based on multiple techniques such as candle behaviors and count and some significant financial times according to Gann and more.
Each chart consists of an X-Axis ( time ) and a Y-Axis ( price ). Price can travel up and down giving you both support and resistance levels, on the other hand, time only travels forward which is why they are called time resistance levels.
Time resistance happens at multiple significant places. Have you noticed that when a triangle breaks north or south that the tip of the triangle acts as time resistance level where something happens ? Many patterns and techniques are designed
to detect and these levels through patters, candle behavior and more. This script aims to assist in detecting these levels ahead of time or at candle opens . This is a very important point. A signal of time resistance can be displayed at candle open
or ahead of time. both of these cases mean that the time resistance is confirmed. These resistance levels are rated on a scale from 0 to 3 and this scale could change and more filtering could be applied in the future to make this script
even more powerful. I would say this is a functional beta version ( v0.5 ) that could be improved upon and that's what I intend to do. scroll down to see if there are any other upgrades to this script. Each time frame has its own time resistance levels. Future levels could appear at any point;
for example, if there are no future time resistance levels within the next 6 days -lets say,- this does not mean that one doesn't appear tomorrow. A regular check would give you an edge in this script. Of course this is something that can be improved in the near future. This script does not reprint ( confirmed data does not change ) but more future data can be added no previous data.
Enjoy!
█ Future Plans and upgrades to this script may include :
1. Adding more astro influencers into the script.
2. Fine tuning the script a bit more to filter unwanted noise.
3. Adding toggle switches for users to select from. ( toggle between multiple techniques )
and more! feel free to let me know what you'd like to see!
█ How to use :
1. Put the script on your chart
give the script a few seconds and you should be set.
This script is coded as an addon to the Gann ToolBox package/scripts.
Fake breakHi Traders,
I've developed an indicator which can detect fake-breaks on the chart.
In the following you'll find the definition of the fake break candles and also you will find how to recognize it on the chart with practical examples.
What is the fake break pattern?
Sometimes support and resistance lines broke with a full body and strong candles that gives us the idea of sharp movements on the chart but suddenly the next candle returns all the path of the previous candle. in this case we can say fake break is happening on the chart.
This indicator detect fake break patterns based on two criteria:
1. It uses AverageTrueRange indicator to measure the strength of the pattern.
2. The returning candle should engulf minimum 75% of the break candle.
This indicator plot 2 terms in the name of "FB-D" and "FB-U" that are abbreviations of the "Fake Break Down" and "Fake Break Up".
You can also set alerts to get notified when fake breakout happens on the chart.
Notice: This pattern is only acceptable in valid support and resistance zones and you can not rely on it everywhere on the chart (specially in the middle of the waves).
Notice: The source code of this indicator is open and you are allowed to use it on your scripts by mentioning the name of author.
Disclaimer: This is not a financial advice or any signal to buy or sell, the goal of developing such an indicator is to use for educational purposes.

[Pt] Premarket Breakout StrategyThis is a 1 trade per day strategy for trading SPY or QQQ index. By default, this is designed for 1 min time frame. This was an experimental script that seems to be profitable at the time of publication.
How it works:
Pre-market high and low is defined per trading day between 9:00 to 9:30 EST.
Then we looking for the first breakout on either PM high or PM low.
- Breakout high = long trade
- Breakout low = short trade
If long trade, we wait until Stochastic RSI D signal line to hit a lower threshold (18 by default). Then we enter long when K crosses above D line.
If short trade, we wait until Stochastic RSI D signal line to hit an upper threshold (82 by default). Then we enter short when K crosses below D line.
Stop loss for long
- set to PM low if entry is above PM high + %ATR buffer
- or set to PM range + %ATR buffer
Stop loss for short
- set to PM high if entry is below PM low + %ATR buffer
- or set to PM range + %ATR buffer
Profit target is set to 2x the risk by default.
*Note: Different Stochastic RSI lengths should be used if trading 5 min time frame. See tooltip.
Happy trading~~!

Bollinger Bands Breakout Oscillator [LuxAlgo]The Bollinger Bands Breakout Oscillator is an oscillator returning two series quantifying the significance of breakouts between the price and the extremities of the Bollinger Bands indicator.
Settings
Length: Period of the Bollinger Bands indicator
Mult: Controls the width of the Bollinger Bands
Src: Input source of the indicator
Usage
Each series is calculated by summing the distance between price and a respective Bollinger Bands extremity in the case price is outside this extremity and divided by the sum of the absolute distance between price and a respective extremity. This sum is done over the most recent Length bars.
Bullish breakouts are represented by the green areas of the indicator, while bearish breakouts are represented by the red areas of the indicator.
The oscillator can determine the presence of an uptrend when the bullish area is superior to the bearish area, while a downtrend is indicated by a bearish area being superior to the bullish one. The significance of the breakout is determined by the amplitude of each area, with higher amplitudes indicating more significant breakouts or strong trends.
Using higher Mult values would naturally return wider bands, which would induce less frequent breakouts, this would be highlighted by the oscillator.
In the chart above we can see the oscillator using a multiplicative factor of 2.
LNL Squeeze ArrowsIf you struggle with the entries, low % win rate or trading the squeeze setup overall, this indicator is for you!
If you look closely at your losing trades, chances are the losers have one thing in common = inverse momentum. I created this tool after I found out that Stacked EMAs and picture perfect trend is not the only thing you need for a squeeze setup. Squeeze arrows pinpoint the exact moment where the squeeze momentum change happens (momentum change is absolutely crucial for the squeeze setup). These arrows will help you stay out of "everything was aligned but still failed" type of setups.
Squeeze Arrows:
1. Momentum Arrows (cyan blue/red) - Showing the best possible moment for an entry during the squeeze (after you see one, you can expect the squeeze to fire soon).
2. Slingshot Arrows (yellow) - Even though you can trade off of them, these arrows work mostly as a confirmation & caution tool. If an inverse slingshot arrow is plotted during a squeeze that means caution = you should wait because momentum is not on your side thus there there is a quite high probability that the squeeze can fire the other direction.
Squeeze Dots Trigger:
Represents the number of red dots (squeeze) after which the arrows should plot. Default = 5 (only after 5 red dots, arrows will appear), some traders like to set it on 3 or even 1.
Tips & Tricks:
1.Breakout or Bailout Mentality
- The big advantage of the arrows is the fact that they either work straight away or they don't. This is where you can apply the breakout or bailout mentality and really focus exclusively on the breakout part of the whole squeeze move. You can minimize the risk by putting mental stops just a few points below the last low of the candle where the arrows appeared. That way you can be stopped out even during the squeeze = won't hurt as much as when the squeeze fire the opposite direction. Reward may be the same but the risk is lower.
2. Yellow Flags
- Use the slingshot arrows as a caution tool. Even if all your squeeze criteria are met. Yellow inverse arrow = caution (wait for the true momentum change). Once the slingshot arrow appears in the conext of the trend, you are good to go.
3. Last Arrow Rule
- Sometimes you will see a lot of arrows during the longer squeezes. This is where the last arrow rule come in handy. The last arrow you see on chart can be canceled anytime by a new one. The last arrow is the valid one!
Hope you can squeeze from these squeeze arrows as much as there is to squeeze so you can finally trade the squeeze with ease.
Hope it helps.
[TTI] Volume Rulesibb.co
👆 Look at how the script looks when you hover with the mouse
––––History & Credit
Volume and Price action have been the sole foundation to technical traders since technical analysis has been around. This indicator includes some of the important volume rules that I have collected over the years and the ones I have seen that work. In general credit for the methods used in this indicators has to go to William O'Neil, Stockbee and Mark Minervini.
–––––What it does
There are 3 functions of the Volume rules indicator. The top line, the bottom line and the label.
1️⃣. The top line looks at a few basic volume patterns that are important to pay attention too.
🔵 Higher volume than yesterday and day closes up
🟣 Higher volume than yesterday and day closes down
🟡 Volume X times higher (defined in settings) over the last Y (defined in settings) days. Default is 2x higher compared to yesterday.
2️⃣ The bottom line looks at StockBee Labels
L4 custom criteria + 100k minimum trading day (bearish)
H4 custom criteria + 100k minimum trading day (bullish)
L9 custom criteria + 9M minimum trading day (bearish)
H9 custom criteria + 9M minimum trading day (bullish)
L49 custom criteria + 49M minimum trading day (bearish)
H49 custom criteria + 49M minimum trading day (bullish)
StockBee Labels:
ibb.co
3️⃣ The label looks wether the picked ticker meets the minimum requirement for trading (as per methodology) and how is the price action performing.
TDV = total dollar trading volume
Trading Volume = #stocks
If the above 2 meet the criteria in the settings pannel the label is green if both do not meet the label is red and if one is met and the other is not the label is yellow.
Additional comparison of the trading volume to the 10D, 20D and 50D MA of the volume and two custom indicators:
1. Volume Signature = whereby the indicator looks that the highest down volume over the last 10days and compares it to todays volume
2. Vol in vs Vol out = whereby the indicator looks at the volume of the breakout compared to the average down volume over the last 10 days
–––––How to use it
When trading always look for volume confirmation in the direction of your trend. The volume footprints are one of the ways to shadow institutional support. Bearish and Bullish signals are described above.
[TTI] Pinch AVWAPs––––History & Credit
This indicator came from studying Alpha trends and the concept from CMT Brian Shannon
–––––What it does
Upon uploading choose two dates from which the script will calculate Anchored VWAP from both dates. The dates can be easily moved for faster adjustment and re-calculation.
–––––How to use it
If you are trading a breakout methodology like myself, look for the "pinch" of the AVWAPs. Preferably, a bottom AVWAP moving up and a top AVWAP moving down. Choose important dates (this is rather subjective) for the AVWAP dates. These can be important events like Earnings or Divident Announcements. Or places where there is a change of structure of the Supply and Demand dynamic.
Price action: Trendline Break StrategyThis strategy use trendline to entry. Trendline be drawed from Pivots High/Low.
Entry Long: When price break up trendline.
Entry Short: When price break down trendline.
Risk:Reward setup is 1:1.
You can backtest with whichever pair and whichever timeframe.
I backtested:
- If scalping: should use timeframe 5m, set up SL, TP is 2%.
- If swing trade: should use timeframe 1H, set up SL 2%, TP is 3%.
Should use with other indicator to increase winrate.
Close Over/Under LevelIf you want to be alerted when a price closes above or below a given level(s), then this indicator is for you! 😁 Whether you're looking for a breakout, or some change of structure, etc, this should come in handy.
Usage:
Just add a level(s) (anything above 0).
Optionally plot lines.
Set alerts as normal.
Enjoy!
Fractal Level Zones - Break / Test / RaidFractal Level Zones - Break / Test / Raid
An experimental script that marks out the last two unbroken fractal high and low zones. The aim of the script is to focus on the type of candles that form and close in a zone. They can either tap into the zone or break them.
There are a number of outcomes:
- Break
- Break and retest
- Reversal
- Raid
When a zone is broken, the next untested fractal zone is printed.
How to use:
The indicator is to be used on higher time frames (M,W,D/4H). Monitor the type of candles that in form a zone (Daily TF recommended)
Default icon colours
Orange - Test of Zone
Purple - Break of fractal (can also be a raid)
Alert function included
Indicator in Use
Fractal BreakoutThis indicator prints channels based on Williams Fractals creating an upper and a lower channel. Breakouts of these channels are marked as buy or sell signal including the respective alerts. Furthermore the indicator includes a Moving Average which can be toggled on to be used as a trendfilter (buy above, sell below).
Accumulation_&_Distribution_Aka_ConsolidationZone - BasicDear Traders,
It so happens to the traders that once in their lifetime journey they be sure to here the below statement.
1. I got struck in the consolidation zone
2. Signals from technical indicators failed because prices were consolidating.
3. Its pretty tuff to detect consolidation zone. (programmatically)
I don't know about other but I have heard this throughout my trading journey. Hence I started to debug the above 3 statements and came up with this indicator which detects consolidation zones in the chart.
there are 3 inputs settings
1. ATR multiplier = can be used to filter the consolidation box height. higher the value bigger the box (vertical view) and smaller the value smaller the box height.
2. Show Last No of Zones = set the No of previous zones you would like to see.
3. Consolidation Size = If set to small. all kind of sizes will be plotted ( majorly works for day trading) if set to wide, script looks for major consolidation zones (majorly works for higher timeframes). if set to medium, script looks medium size to wide size zones majorly for timeframe with more than 30 min.
What's this indicator is taking into account?
1. Moving Averages
2. Linear Regression curves
3. ATR
4. BB
5. BBW
6. Couple of Math calculation to support the zone identification.
Note: Plz do suggest for any kind of improvements or feedbacks.
