BTC 15m VWAP Structure Breakout [ALERT]BTC 15m VWAP Structure Breakout Strategy (Alert Only)
This strategy is designed for BTC on the 15-minute timeframe.
It focuses on identifying high-probability structural breakouts within an established trend, not predicting tops or bottoms.
The script is alert-only.
Entries are taken manually, based on confirmation after the alert.
🎯 Core Idea
The main question this strategy answers is:
“Is this breakout occurring with the trend,
or is it just a fake move inside a ranging market?”
To solve this, the strategy combines:
VWAP (institutional average price)
EMA20 (short-term trend filter)
Market structure breakout
📈 Indicators Used
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price)
Represents the market’s fair value and institutional bias.
EMA20
Defines short-term trend direction and momentum.
Structure High / Low (last 25 candles)
Identifies meaningful resistance and support levels.
🧭 Market Bias Filter
🔵 Bullish Bias (Long Setup Allowed)
Price closes above VWAP
EMA20 is rising (higher than 2 candles ago)
This confirms a valid bullish environment before looking for breakouts.
🔴 Bearish Bias (Short Setup Allowed)
Price closes below VWAP
EMA20 is falling (lower than 2 candles ago)
This confirms a valid bearish environment.
🚀 Breakout Signal Conditions
✅ Long Breakout Alert
A LONG alert is triggered when all conditions are met:
Bullish market bias
Price closes above EMA20
Price breaks above the previous 25-candle high
by at least 0.15%
➡️ This captures true continuation breakouts, not random spikes.
❌ Short Breakdown Alert
A SHORT alert is triggered when all conditions are met:
Bearish market bias
Price closes below EMA20
Price breaks below the previous 25-candle low
by at least 0.15%
➡️ This captures trend-aligned support breakdowns.
🔔 How to Use the Alerts (Important)
These alerts are NOT automatic entry signals.
When an alert fires, check:
Volume expansion
Breakout confirmation or pullback-and-reclaim
Higher-timeframe trend alignment
👉 Alert = “Market is ready, pay attention”
🧠 Best Market Conditions
✔ Trending BTC markets
✔ Breakout or expansion phases
✔ Works in all sessions (no session filter)
❌ Choppy or low-volatility ranging markets
👍 Who This Strategy Is For
Traders who can’t watch charts all day
Traders who want to reduce emotional entries
Traders who prefer probability and structure over prediction
Manual traders using alerts as decision triggers
📌 Final Thoughts
This strategy:
❌ does NOT try to catch bottoms or tops
✅ reacts only when structure confirms a real move
Let the market show strength first —
then decide how to trade it.

Support and Resistance Breakout Signals [MarkitTick]💡 This indicator provides a comprehensive, automated system for identifying, tracking, and trading Support and Resistance (S/R) breakouts. By synthesizing classic Swing High and Swing Low pivot analysis with Multi-Timeframe (HTF) capabilities and Volume confirmation, it transforms raw price action into actionable structural data. It is designed to declutter charts by automatically managing active levels and highlighting significant market structure shifts (Higher Highs, Lower Lows) alongside verified breakout signals.
✨ Originality and Utility
While many indicators draw static pivot points, this tool distinguishes itself through "State Management." It treats Support and Resistance not just as historical markers, but as active zones that evolve.
Dynamic Level Management: Instead of flooding the chart with infinite lines, the script uses arrays to store a specific number of recent levels. As price action progresses, invalid or broken levels are removed or updated, keeping the analysis focused on current relevance.
Multi-Timeframe Confluence: Uniquely, it allows you to overlay higher timeframe support and resistance levels (e.g., Daily levels on a 4-hours chart) without changing your chart view, enabling top-down analysis instantly.
Market Structure Labeling: It automatically tags pivot points with Dow Theory labels (HH, LH, LL, HL), aiding traders in instantly recognizing trend direction without manual charting.
🔬 Methodology and Concepts
The script operates on three core technical pillars:
● Swing Pivot Detection
The foundation is the detection of local extrema using a "Left/Right" bar lookback mechanism. A Swing High is identified when a high is greater than the L bars preceding it and the R bars following it. This confirms a fractal peak or valley.
Note on Confirmation: Because the script waits for R bars to close to confirm a pivot, the lines appear retroactively. However, the extension of these lines and subsequent breakout signals occur in real-time.
● Breakout Logic with Volume Integration
A breakout is triggered when the Close price crosses an active S/R line.
Resistance Break: Current Close > Resistance Level (and Previous Close ≤ Level).
Support Break: Current Close < Support Level (and Previous Close ≥ Level).
Volume Confirmation: An optional filter requires the breakout bar's volume to exceed a Moving Average of volume, ensuring momentum backs the move.
● Time Decay
To mimic the reduced relevance of stale levels, the script includes a "Time Decay" feature. If a level is not interacted with for a user-defined number of bars, it is automatically purged from the system, ensuring the chart reflects only fresh interest levels.
🎨 Visual Guide
The indicator uses a specific color-coding and labeling system to convey information quickly:
● Support & Resistance Lines
Red Lines (Thin): Represent active Resistance levels on the current timeframe.
Green Lines (Thin): Represent active Support levels on the current timeframe.
Fuchsia Lines (Thick): Represent Higher Timeframe (HTF) Resistance levels.
Aqua Lines (Thick): Represent Higher Timeframe (HTF) Support levels.
● Market Structure Labels
Located at the pivot points, these text labels define the trend structure:
HH / LH: Higher High / Lower High (Red Text).
LL / HL: Lower Low / Higher Low (Green/Aqua Text).
HTF-R / HTF-S: Indicates major structural pivots from the higher timeframe.
● Breakout Signals
When a valid break occurs, a label appears above or below the bar:
Blue Triangle Up (▲): Bullish breakout through resistance.
Blue Triangle Down (▼): Bearish breakout through support.
Number in Label: Indicates the cumulative count of breaks for that specific trend sequence (e.g., "1" is the first break, "2" is the second).
The breakout count represents the intensity of the move. A reading greater than 1 signals exceptional market strength, indicating the penetration of multiple Key Levels (Support or Resistance) within a single candle.
📖 How to Use
Trend Continuation: In an uptrend (sequence of HH/HL), wait for a Blue Triangle Up (▲) occurring at a Red Resistance line. This signals the continuation of the trend.
Trend Reversal: Watch for a "Structure Break." If price is making Higher Highs, but then breaks a Green Support line (generating a ▼ signal) and forms a Lower Low (LL), the trend may be reversing.
HTF "Bounce" Plays: Use the thick Fuchsia/Aqua lines as major zones. If price approaches a thick Aqua line (HTF Support) and fails to break it, look for LTF bullish structure (HH/HL) to form for an entry.
Volume Filtering: Enable the "Volume Confirmation" setting to filter out "fakeouts" (breaks on low volume).
⚙️ Inputs and Settings
● Swing Settings
Left/Right Bars: Determines the sensitivity of the pivot detection. Higher numbers = fewer, more significant pivots.
Max Stored Levels: How many S/R lines to keep in memory at once.
Max Break Labels: Limits visual clutter by capping the number of signal labels.
● Usability & HTF
Enable Time Decay: If true, deletes lines that are older than "Decay Period" bars.
Enable HTF Levels: Toggles the display of higher timeframe pivots.
HTF Timeframe: Select the specific timeframe for the macro view (e.g., "D" for Daily).
● Analysis
Volume Confirmation: Toggles the requirement for volume to be above its average for a signal to fire.
Show Market Structure: Toggles the HH/LL text labels.
🔍 Deconstruction of the Underlying Scientific and Academic Framework
The script's logic is rooted in Fractal Geometry and Auction Market Theory .
● Mandelbrot's Fractals: The use of `leftBars` and `rightBars` is a direct application of identifying market fractals. Markets are self-similar across timeframes; a pivot on a 5-minute chart is structurally identical to one on a Weekly chart. This script exploits this property by allowing nested timeframe analysis (LTF inside HTF).
● Memory of Price (Behavioral Finance): Support and resistance lines represent zones where market participants have previously established value (Price Memory). The "Breakout" signal is mathematically significant because it represents a shift in the supply/demand equilibrium. When price closes beyond a stored array value (the pivot price), it signifies that the aggressive limit orders that created the pivot have been exhausted or withdrawn, validating a new search for value.

MoBo Bands - Momentum Breakout IndicatorDESCRIPTION
MoBo Bands (Momentum Breakout Bands) is a volatility-based breakout detection indicator that helps traders identify potential momentum shifts in the market. The indicator uses dynamic bands calculated from standard deviation to signal when price breaks above or below established ranges, indicating potential bullish or bearish momentum changes.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
KEY FEATURES
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
- Dynamic upper and lower bands based on standard deviation
- Color-coded bands that change based on breakout direction (green for bullish, red for bearish)
- Visual breakout arrows marking entry points above/below bands
- Optional colored fill zones between bands showing current momentum state
- Customizable displacement for band projection
- Built-in alert system for breakout and breakdown signals
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW IT WORKS
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
The indicator calculates a middle line using a Simple Moving Average (SMA) with upper and lower bands positioned using standard deviation multipliers. When price closes above the upper band, a bullish breakout (green) is signaled. When price closes below the lower band, a bearish breakdown (red) is signaled. The bands and fill zones remain colored until the opposite signal occurs, providing clear visual confirmation of the current momentum state.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
CUSTOMIZABLE INPUTS
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
CALCULATION PARAMETERS:
- Price Source - Select which price data to use (default: close)
- Length - Period for SMA and standard deviation calculation (default: 10)
- Num Dev Up - Standard deviation multiplier for upper band (default: 0.8)
- Num Dev Down - Standard deviation multiplier for lower band (default: -0.8)
- Displace - Shift bands forward for projection analysis (default: 0)
DISPLAY OPTIONS:
- Colored Mobo - Enable/disable color-coded bands
- Colored Fill - Enable/disable fill zones between bands
- Break Arrows - Show/hide breakout and breakdown arrows
ALERT OPTIONS:
- Show Alerts - Enable/disable alert conditions
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
USAGE GUIDE
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Watch for price to close outside the bands as potential breakout signals:
BULLISH BREAKOUT: Green arrow appears below the lower band when price closes above the upper band, indicating upward momentum shift.
BEARISH BREAKDOWN: Red arrow appears above the upper band when price closes below the lower band, indicating downward momentum shift.
The bands also serve as dynamic support and resistance levels. When bands are green, momentum is bullish. When bands are red, momentum is bearish.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
BEST PRACTICES
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
- This indicator works well on liquid futures contracts (MNQ, MES, MYM, MGC, MCL) and major
currency pairs across multiple timeframes
- Lower deviation values (0.5-1.0) produce more frequent signals suitable for scalping
- Higher deviation values (1.5-2.5) filter for stronger breakouts ideal for swing trading
- Combine with volume indicators for additional confirmation
- Use with momentum oscillators to validate breakout strength
- Best results in trending market conditions
- Consider the overall market context and trend direction
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
ALERT CONFIGURATION
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Configure custom alerts for automated notifications:
- "MoBo BreakOUT" - Triggers on bullish breakout signals
- "MoBo BreakDOWN" - Triggers on bearish breakdown signals
Set alerts to "Once Per Bar Close" for confirmed signals and avoid false triggers during bar development.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
IDEAL FOR
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

Wedge Pattern [Kodexius]Wedge Pattern is a chart-overlay indicator designed to detect and manage classic Rising Wedge (bearish) and Falling Wedge (bullish) structures using strict, rules-based validation. The script focuses on producing clean, tradable wedge prints by building both boundaries from confirmed pivot swings, enforcing a mandatory “no closes outside the wedge” condition during formation, and requiring the wedge apex to be projected into the future to avoid premature or distorted patterns.
This implementation is built for practical execution charts. It continuously updates the active wedge boundaries in real time, clearly labels the pattern type, and reacts decisively when price confirms a valid breakout. When enabled, it also projects a measured-move target derived from the wedge geometry, so the trader can quickly evaluate reward potential without manual projection.
The detection logic is intentionally conservative. Rather than printing every possible converging structure, it aims to identify wedges that respect structural integrity: multiple touches on each boundary, controlled price action inside the converging range, and a valid convergence point (apex) ahead of the current bar. The result is a wedge tool that prioritizes quality, readability, and consistent behavior across symbols and timeframes.
🔹 Features
🔸 Rising and Falling Wedge Detection (Trendline Based)
The indicator detects two wedge types by constructing an upper trendline from pivot highs and a lower trendline from pivot lows:
Rising Wedge (Bearish): both lines slope upward, and the lower line rises faster than the upper line, creating a tightening upward channel that typically resolves with a downside break.
Falling Wedge (Bullish): both lines slope downward, and the upper line falls faster than the lower line, producing a tightening downward channel that typically resolves with an upside break.
This slope relationship is the core wedge classifier. It ensures the script is not just drawing random converging lines, but explicitly requires the characteristic “compression” geometry that defines wedges.
🔸 Pivot-Confirmed Structure with User Control
Wedges are built from confirmed pivots using:
Pivot Left and Pivot Right inputs to control how “strict” a pivot must be.
Min. Touches per Line to enforce multiple confirmations on each boundary.
Standard technical analysis commonly requires at least three touches to validate a trendline. This script supports that workflow by requiring a minimum number of pivot points before a wedge is eligible for drawing.
🔸 Mandatory Integrity Rule: No Closes Outside the Boundaries
A key quality filter is applied before a wedge can be accepted:
During formation, no candle close is allowed outside the upper or lower boundary.
If any close is detected above the upper line or below the lower line (with tick tolerance), the candidate wedge is rejected. This prevents patterns that already “broke” before they were formally detected and reduces false positives caused by messy price action.
🔸 Apex Validation to Avoid Distorted Prints
The wedge apex (the projected intersection point of the two trendlines) must be in the future. This avoids degenerate cases where lines intersect behind current price, which often indicates the structure is not a valid wedge or is already past its useful phase.
🔸 Live Updating Boundaries for Active Patterns
Once a wedge becomes active, its upper and lower lines are extended forward bar by bar. The script recalculates the boundary price at the current bar index using the stored slope, then updates the line endpoints so the wedge remains visually accurate as time advances.
🔸 Breakout Engine with Directional Confirmation
The script differentiates between:
Correct breakout: the wedge breaks in the expected direction.
Rising wedge breaks downward (close below the lower boundary).
Falling wedge breaks upward (close above the upper boundary).
When this happens, the wedge is marked as broken and labeled as BREAKOUT on the chart.
🔸 Invalidation and Failure Handling
If price violates the wedge in the wrong direction, or if the wedge collapses into an impossible structure (upper boundary falls below or equals the lower boundary), the wedge is flagged as FAILED. This keeps signals honest and prevents lingering drawings that no longer represent a valid pattern.
🔸 Optional Target Projection (Measured Move)
When Show Target Projection is enabled, the script plots a dashed target line and a target label after a valid breakout. The target is computed as a measured move using the wedge height, projected from the breakout boundary in the breakout direction. This provides an immediate objective reference for potential continuation.
🔸 Clean Object Management and Chart Readability
To maintain clarity, the script manages the “active” wedge per type:
If a new wedge is detected while an older one is still active and not broken or failed, the old drawings are removed and replaced with the newer valid pattern.
This prevents chart clutter and keeps the display focused on the most relevant wedge structures.
🔹 Calculations
1) Pivot Collection
The script uses pivot functions to confirm swing points:
float ph = ta.pivothigh(high, INPUT_PIVOT_LEFT, INPUT_PIVOT_RIGHT)
float pl = ta.pivotlow(low, INPUT_PIVOT_LEFT, INPUT_PIVOT_RIGHT)
if not na(ph)
pivot_highs.push(Coordinate.new(bar_index - INPUT_PIVOT_RIGHT, ph))
if not na(pl)
pivot_lows.push(Coordinate.new(bar_index - INPUT_PIVOT_RIGHT, pl))
Each pivot is stored as a Coordinate containing:
index: the bar index where the pivot is confirmed
price: the pivot high or pivot low value
The arrays are capped (for example, last 20 pivots) to control memory and keep selection relevant.
2) Trendline Construction and Slope
A wedge candidate uses the earliest and latest required pivot points for each line. For each boundary, slope is computed as:
method calc_slope(Trendline this) =>
(this.end.price - this.start.price) / (this.end.index - this.start.index)
With slope known, the trendline value at any bar index is:
method get_price_at(Trendline this, int bar_idx) =>
this.start.price + this.slope * (bar_idx - this.start.index)
This approach allows the script to update wedge boundaries consistently without re-fitting lines on every bar.
3) Wedge Type Classification (Geometry Rules)
After both slopes are calculated, wedge type is determined by slope direction and relative steepness:
Rising wedge requires both slopes positive and lower slope greater than upper slope.
Falling wedge requires both slopes negative and upper slope more negative than lower slope (upper line falls faster).
In code logic:
if tl_up.slope > 0 and tl_lo.slope > 0 and tl_lo.slope > tl_up.slope
w_type := 1 // Rising
if tl_up.slope < 0 and tl_lo.slope < 0 and tl_up.slope < tl_lo.slope
w_type := 2 // Falling
This enforces converging boundaries and avoids simple parallel channels.
4) Apex Projection (Trendline Intersection)
The apex is the projected intersection x-coordinate of the two trendlines:
method get_apex_index(Wedge this) =>
float m1 = this.upper.slope
float m2 = this.lower.slope
float y1 = this.upper.start.price
float y2 = this.lower.start.price
int x1 = this.upper.start.index
int x2 = this.lower.start.index
float apex_x = (y2 - y1 + m1 * x1 - m2 * x2) / (m1 - m2)
math.round(apex_x)
Validation requires:
apex_idx > bar_index (apex must be in the future)
This prevents late or structurally invalid wedges from being activated.
5) Mandatory “No Close Outside” Validation
Before activation, the script verifies the pattern has not been violated by candle closes:
method check_violation(Wedge this, int from_idx, int to_idx) =>
bool violated = false
for i = from_idx to to_idx
float up_p = this.upper.get_price_at(i)
float lo_p = this.lower.get_price_at(i)
float c_p = close
if c_p > up_p + syminfo.mintick or c_p < lo_p - syminfo.mintick
violated := true
break
violated
Interpretation:
For every bar from wedge start to current bar, the close must remain between the projected upper and lower boundary prices.
A tick tolerance (syminfo.mintick) is used to reduce micro false violations.
6) Live Update and Breakout Detection
Once active, lines are extended to the current bar and boundary prices are computed:
float u_p = w.upper.get_price_at(bar_index)
float l_p = w.lower.get_price_at(bar_index)
bool b_up = close > u_p
bool b_dn = close < l_p
Correct breakout conditions:
Rising wedge breakout: close below lower boundary.
Falling wedge breakout: close above upper boundary.
if (w.is_rising and b_dn) or (not w.is_rising and b_up)
w.is_broken := true
Invalidation rules include:
wrong-direction break
boundary crossover (upper <= lower)
7) Target Projection (Measured Move)
If target display is enabled, the script calculates wedge height and projects a target from the breakout side:
float m = math.abs(w.upper.start.price - w.lower.get_price_at(w.upper.start.index))
float t = w.is_rising ? l_p - m : u_p + m
Interpretation:
m represents the wedge height near the start of the formation.
t is the target price, projected in the breakout direction.
Rising wedge: target below the lower boundary.
Falling wedge: target above the upper boundary.
A dashed target line and label are then placed forward in time for readability.

Alpha - Combined BreakoutThis Pine Script indicator, "Alpha - Combined Breakout," is a combination between Smart Money Breakout Signals and UT Bot Alert, The UT Bot Alert indicator was initially developer by Yo_adriiiiaan
The idea of original code belongs HPotter.
This Indicator helps you identify potential trading opportunities by combining two distinct strategies: Smart Money Breakout and a modified UT Bot (likely a variation of the Ultimate Trend Bot). It provides visual signals, draws lines for potential take profit (TP) and stop loss (SL) levels, and includes a dashboard to track performance metrics.
Tutorial:
Understanding and Using the "Alpha - Combined Breakout" Indicator
This indicator is designed for traders looking for confirmation of market direction and potential entry/exit points by blending structural analysis with a trend-following oscillator.
How it Works (General Concept)
The indicator combines two main components:
Smart Money Breakout: This part identifies significant breaks in market structure, which "smart money" traders often use to gauge shifts in supply and demand. It looks for higher highs/lows or lower highs/lows and flags when these structural points are broken.
UT Bot: This is a trend-following component that generates buy and sell signals based on price action relative to an Average True Range (ATR) based trailing stop.
You can choose to use these signals independently or combined to generate trading alerts and visual cues on your chart. The dashboard provides a quick overview of how well the signals are performing based on your chosen settings and display mode.
Parameters and What They Do
Let's break down each input parameter:
1. Smart Money Inputs
These settings control how the indicator identifies market structure and breakouts.
swingSize (Market Structure Time-Horizon):
What it does: This integer value defines the number of candles used to identify significant "swing" (pivot) points—highs and lows.
Effect: A larger swingSize creates a smoother market structure, focusing on longer-term trends. This means signals might appear less frequently and with some delay but could be more reliable for higher timeframes or broader market movements. A smaller swingSize will pick up more minor market structure changes, leading to more frequent but potentially noisier signals, suitable for lower timeframes or scalping.
Analogy: Think of it like a zoom level on your market structure map. Higher values zoom out, showing only major mountain ranges. Lower values zoom in, showing every hill and bump.
bosConfType (BOS Confirmation Type):
What it does: This string input determines how a Break of Structure (BOS) is confirmed. You have two options:
'Candle Close': A breakout is confirmed only if a candle's closing price surpasses the previous swing high (for bullish) or swing low (for bearish).
'Wicks': A breakout is confirmed if any part of the candle (including its wick) surpasses the previous swing high or low.
Effect: 'Candle Close' provides stronger, more conservative confirmation, as it implies sustained price movement beyond the structure. 'Wicks' provides earlier, more aggressive signals, as it captures momentary breaches of the structure.
Analogy: Imagine a wall. 'Candle Close' means the whole person must get over the wall. 'Wicks' means even a finger touching over the top counts as a breach.
choch (Show CHoCH):
What it does: A boolean (true/false) input to enable or disable the display of "Change of Character" (CHoCH) labels. CHoCH indicates the first structural break against the current dominant trend.
Effect: When true, it helps identify early signs of a potential trend reversal, as it marks where the market's "character" (its tendency to make higher highs/lows or lower lows/highs) first changes.
BULL (Bullish Color) & BEAR (Bearish Color):
What they do: These color inputs allow you to customize the visual appearance of bullish and bearish signals and lines drawn by the Smart Money component.
Effect: Purely cosmetic, helps with visual identification on the chart.
sm_tp_sl_multiplier (SM TP/SL Multiplier (ATR)):
What it does: A float value that acts as a multiplier for the Average True Range (ATR) to calculate the Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) levels specifically when you're in "Smart Money Only" mode. It uses the ATR calculated by the UT Bot's nLoss_ut as its base.
Effect: A higher multiplier creates wider TP/SL levels, potentially leading to fewer trades but larger wins/losses. A lower multiplier creates tighter TP/SL levels, potentially leading to more frequent but smaller wins/losses.
2. UT Bot Alerts Inputs
These parameters control the behavior and sensitivity of the UT Bot component.
a_ut (UT Key Value (Sensitivity)):
What it does: This integer value adjusts the sensitivity of the UT Bot.
Effect: A higher value makes the UT Bot less sensitive to price fluctuations, resulting in fewer and potentially more reliable signals. A lower value makes it more sensitive, generating more signals, which can include more false signals.
Analogy: Like a noise filter. Higher values filter out more noise, keeping only strong signals.
c_ut (UT ATR Period):
What it does: This integer sets the look-back period for the Average True Range (ATR) calculation used by the UT Bot. ATR measures market volatility.
Effect: This period directly influences the calculation of the nLoss_ut (which is a_ut * xATR_ut), thus defining the distance of the trailing stop loss and take profit levels. A longer period makes the ATR smoother and less reactive to sudden price spikes. A shorter period makes it more responsive.
h_ut (UT Signals from Heikin Ashi Candles):
What it does: A boolean (true/false) input to determine if the UT Bot calculations should use standard candlestick data or Heikin Ashi candlestick data.
Effect: Heikin Ashi candles smooth out price action, often making trends clearer and reducing noise. Using them for UT Bot signals can lead to smoother, potentially delayed signals that stay with a trend longer. Standard candles are more reactive to raw price changes.
3. Line Drawing Control Buttons
These crucial boolean inputs determine which type of signals will trigger the drawing of TP/SL/Entry lines and flags on your chart. They act as a priority system.
drawLinesUtOnly (Draw Lines: UT Only):
What it does: If checked (true), lines and flags will only be drawn when the UT Bot generates a buy/sell signal.
Effect: Isolates UT Bot signals for visual analysis.
drawLinesSmartMoneyOnly (Draw Lines: Smart Money Only):
What it does: If checked (true), lines and flags will only be drawn when the Smart Money Breakout logic generates a bullish/bearish breakout.
Effect: Overrides drawLinesUtOnly if both are checked. Isolates Smart Money signals.
drawLinesCombined (Draw Lines: UT & Smart Money (Combined)):
What it does: If checked (true), lines and flags will only be drawn when both a UT Bot signal AND a Smart Money Breakout signal occur on the same bar.
Effect: Overrides both drawLinesUtOnly and drawLinesSmartMoneyOnly if checked. Provides the strictest entry criteria for line drawing, looking for strong confluence.
Dashboard Metrics Explained
The dashboard provides performance statistics based on the lines drawing control button selected. For example, if "Draw Lines: UT Only" is active, the dashboard will show stats only for UT Bot signals.
Total Signals: The total number of buy or sell signals generated by the selected drawing mode.
TP1 Win Rate: The percentage of signals where the price reached Take Profit 1 (TP1) before hitting the Stop Loss.
TP2 Win Rate: The percentage of signals where the price reached Take Profit 2 (TP2) before hitting the Stop Loss.
TP3 Win Rate: The percentage of signals where the price reached Take Profit 3 (TP3) before hitting the Stop Loss. (Note: TP1, TP2, TP3 are in order of distance from entry, with TP3 being furthest.)
SL before any TP rate: This crucial metric shows the number of times the Stop Loss was hit / the percentage of total signals where the stop loss was triggered before any of the three Take Profit levels were reached. This gives you a clear picture of how often a trade resulted in a loss without ever moving into profit target territory.
Short Tutorial: How to Use the Indicator
Add to Chart: Open your TradingView chart, go to "Indicators," search for "Alpha - Combined Breakout," and add it to your chart.
Access Settings: Once added, click the gear icon next to the indicator name on your chart to open its settings.
Choose Your Signal Mode:
For UT Bot only: Uncheck "Draw Lines: Smart Money Only" and "Draw Lines: UT & Smart Money (Combined)". Ensure "Draw Lines: UT Only" is checked.
For Smart Money only: Uncheck "Draw Lines: UT Only" and "Draw Lines: UT & Smart Money (Combined)". Ensure "Draw Lines: Smart Money Only" is checked.
For Combined Signals: Check "Draw Lines: UT & Smart Money (Combined)". This will override the other two.
Adjust Parameters:
Start with default settings. Observe how the signals appear on your chosen asset and timeframe.
Refine Smart Money: If you see too many "noisy" market structure breaks, increase swingSize. If you want earlier breakouts, try "Wicks" for bosConfType.
Refine UT Bot: Adjust a_ut (Sensitivity) to get more or fewer UT Bot signals. Change c_ut (ATR Period) if you want larger or smaller TP/SL distances. Experiment with h_ut to see if Heikin Ashi smoothing suits your trading style.
Adjust TP/SL Multiplier: If using "Smart Money Only" mode, fine-tune sm_tp_sl_multiplier to set appropriate risk/reward levels.
Interpret Signals & Lines:
Buy/Sell Flags: These indicate the presence of a signal based on your selected drawing mode.
Entry Line (Blue Solid): This is where the signal was generated (usually the close price of the signal candle).
SL Line (Red/Green Solid): Your calculated stop loss level.
TP Lines (Dashed): Your three calculated take profit levels (TP1, TP2, TP3, where TP3 is the furthest target).
Smart Money Lines (BOS/CHoCH): These lines indicate horizontal levels where market structure breaks occurred. CHoCH labels might appear at the first structural break against the prior trend.
Monitor Dashboard: Pay attention to the dashboard in the top right corner. This dynamically updates to show the win rates for each TP and, crucially, the "SL before any TP rate." Use these statistics to evaluate the effectiveness of the indicator's signals under your current settings and chosen mode.
*
Set Alerts (Optional): You can set up alerts for any of the specific signals (UT Bot Long/Short, Smart Money Bullish/Bearish, or the "Line Draw" combined signals) to notify you when they occur, even if you're not actively watching the chart.
By following this tutorial, you'll be able to effectively use and customize the "Alpha - Combined Breakout" indicator to suit your trading strategy.
Open Range Breakout (ORB) with Alerts
🚀 ChartsAlgo – Open Range Breakout (ORB) with Alerts
The Open Range Breakout (ORB) Indicator by ChartsAlg is designed for intraday traders looking to capitalize on price movements after the market’s opening range. This tool is especially effective for futures (MNQ, MES) and high-volatility stocks or crypto where initial volatility sets the tone for the session.
This indicator identifies a user-defined opening range window, plots the high/low lines of that range, and visually alerts users when price breaks out above or below the range — with options to customize breakout repetitions, background fill, and alerts.
💡 What is an Open Range Breakout (ORB)?
The opening range represents the high and low established during the first few minutes of the trading session — usually 15 or 30 minutes. Many intraday strategies are based on the idea that breaking out of this initial range often signals strong momentum and trend continuation.
Traders often enter:
Long when price breaks above the range high.
Short when price breaks below the range low.
⚙️ How It Works
You define a session window (e.g., 09:30–09:45 EST).
The indicator tracks the high and low during this time.
Once the session ends, the high and low become your range breakout levels.
The indicator then:
Plots lines for visual clarity
Optionally fills background between the range
Triggers breakout signals if price crosses the levels
Provides alerts when breakouts occur
🛠️ Settings Breakdown
🔹 Session Settings
Range Session: Set your preferred window (e.g., 0930–0945). Can be premarket, first 30 mins, or any custom time.
Time zone: Use "America/New York" for EST (default) or change to "GMT+0" for international traders.
🔹 Breakout Settings
Bullish Breakout Signals: Number of allowed breakout alerts above the range.
Bearish Breakout Signals: Number of allowed breakout alerts below the range.
This prevents repeated alerts once breakout has been confirmed.
🔹 Display Settings
Show Background Fill: Fills area between high/low of the range for easier visual analysis.
Show Breakout Signals: Triangle markers plotted on the chart when breakouts happen.
Only Show Today’s Range: Keeps the chart clean by showing only the most current day’s range.

Trend Breakout [Uncle Sam Trading]Trend Breakout Indicator
Overview
The Trend Breakout Indicator is a powerful, non-repainting tool designed to help traders identify high-probability breakout and trend reversal setups on any market and timeframe. By leveraging pivot points, this indicator draws dynamic support and resistance channels, highlights counter-trend breakouts, and provides visual cues for market direction. It’s ideal for traders looking to simplify their analysis while targeting key price levels for entries and exits.
Key Features
Pivot-Based Channels: Draws a red upper channel (resistance) and a green lower channel (support) by connecting recent pivot highs and lows.
Counter-Trend Breakout Signals:
Blue “CT Breakup” signal (▲) when the price breaks above the upper channel during a downtrend, indicating a potential reversal or pullback.
Orange “CT Breakdown” signal (▼) when the price breaks below the lower channel during an uptrend, signaling a potential downmove.
Trend Visualization: Background color shifts to green for uptrends and red for downtrends, making it easy to gauge market direction.
Customizable Settings: Adjust pivot detection sensitivity with “Pivot Left Bars” (default: 5) and “Pivot Right Bars” (default: 1), and control channel extension with “Channel Extension Bars” (default: 50).
Optional Trend Signals: Enable “Show Trend Change Signals” to display trend shifts with green (uptrend) or red (downtrend) arrows.
Alert Conditions: Set alerts for counter-trend breakouts and trend changes directly on TradingView.
Example Performance (BTCUSDT, 1-Hour Chart)
On the BTCUSDT 1-hour chart:
A “CT Breakdown” signal appeared on April 6 at 8:00 AM at $82,700, followed by a drop to $74,400 within hours—a 10% move.
A “CT Breakup” signal occurred on April 9 at 1:00 AM at $76,600, leading to a rally to $86,600 in a few hours—a 9% gain.
These examples highlight the indicator’s ability to spot significant price movements, though results depend on market conditions, your trading style, and risk management.
Settings
Pivot Left Bars (default: 5): Number of bars to the left for pivot detection.
Pivot Right Bars (default: 1): Number of bars to the right for pivot confirmation (ensures non-repainting signals).
Channel Extension Bars (default: 50): How far the channels extend to the right.
Show Pivot Points (default: true): Displays small triangles at pivot highs (maroon) and lows (navy).
Show Counter-Trend Breakout Signals (default: true): Shows CT Breakup and CT Breakdown signals.
Show Trend Change Signals (default: false): Displays trend shift arrows when enabled.
How to Use
Add the indicator to your chart via TradingView’s indicator library.
Adjust the settings to match your trading style and timeframe.
Watch for “CT Breakup” and “CT Breakdown” signals to identify potential trade setups.
Use the background color (green/red) to confirm the current trend.
Set alerts for breakouts or trend changes to stay updated on key signals.
Always combine with proper risk management and your own analysis—past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
Notes
The indicator is non-repainting, meaning signals are confirmed and won’t disappear after they form.

Multi-Timeframe S/R & Breakout Projection1) What This Script Does
Collects S/R levels from the 15-minute and 1-hour timeframes, using each timeframe’s pivot detection.
Sorts those pivot-based levels by their distance from the current price, so you see the nearest levels first.
Draws up to a user-defined number of those levels as horizontal rays on the current chart.
Checks breakouts at the nearest S/R line (the one with the smallest distance from price):
Real Breakout: price breaks above a level and sustains above it for the specified number of bars.
False Breakout: price breaks above but quickly closes back below within the specified lookback.
On confirmation of a real or false breakout, that S/R line changes color to green if price is going higher, or red if price is going lower.
Displays a small table in the corner with:
Daily Trend: bullish or bearish, using an SMA on a 30-minute timeframe.
Sentiment: bullish or bearish, using RSI on the same 30-minute timeframe.
2) How It Works
Multi-Timeframe Pivot Detection
The script uses request.security() to fetch pivot highs/lows from two higher timeframes (15m and 60m).
It collects up to a user-specified number of these pivots (numRecent) from each TF.
Sorting & Plotting S/R Lines
Once pivot values are gathered, the script calculates their “distance” from current price.
It sorts them so that the S/R lines drawn on your chart are the nearest ones first.
Each line is drawn with a color and style you can customize:
srRayColor sets the overall color (e.g. yellow).
srRayStyleOptions can be Solid, Dashed, or Dotted.
Breakout Determination
After drawing the lines, the script looks at the nearest line and applies two specialized checks (f_isFalseBreakout & f_isRealBreakout):
A real breakout occurs if price closes above (or below) and remains on that side for breakLook bars.
A false breakout occurs if price closes above (or below) but quickly returns.
When a breakout is confirmed, that nearest line changes color to:
Green if price is ultimately going up,
Red if price is going down.
Daily Trend & Sentiment Table
A small table in the bottom-right corner shows:
Daily Trend: uses a 30-minute SMA to see if your price is above/below on that timeframe.
Sentiment: uses the RSI (also on 30m). A value over 50 suggests bullish sentiment; under 50 suggests bearish.
3) How to Use It
Timeframes & Pivots
Choose how many pivots (numRecent) from each TF to fetch (up to 10 total). A higher number means you’ll see more historical S/R lines.
Customize pivotLeft & pivotRight for how “wide” the pivot detection is.
Line Customization
In the script’s Inputs tab, you’ll find:
S/R Rays Color – sets the hue of the lines.
S/R Line Style – pick from Solid, Dashed, or Dotted.
Liquidity Lines Color – color for the smaller pivot lines from your chart timeframe’s pivot detection.
Breakout Lookback
breakLook determines how many bars must confirm or refute the breakout. Adjust it based on how conservative or aggressive you want the breakout detection.
Check the Table
In the bottom-right, watch the script’s “Daily Trend” & “Sentiment”. This can be a quick filter for trades:
“Bullish” daily trend with a bullish sentiment is often more favorable for long trades.
Conversely, “Bearish” daily trend & sentiment can confirm short ideas.
Scenarios
If you see a “Real Breakout” label near the line, the script recolors that line green or red, indicating a possible continuous move.
A “False Breakout” label suggests the price has quickly retraced.
4) Originality & Concepts
Multi-Timeframe Approach: Many S/R indicators fetch only local pivot lines; here, we explicitly gather pivot points from two separate TFs (15m & 60m) and project them onto your lower timeframe chart.
Distance-Based Sorting ensures you only see the nearest lines on the chart, preventing clutter from excessive lines.
Breakout Logic used is straightforward but effective: it checks if price truly holds beyond a level (real breakout) or fails to hold (false breakout).
Line Recoloring provides immediate visual feedback on the success or failure of the breakout.
5) Chart Usage
Plot this script on a relatively low timeframe chart (like the 1m, 5m, or 15m) to see the higher timeframe S/R lines.
Select how many S/R lines you want to show, choose the line style, set your pivot detection parameters, then watch for breakouts.
Tips:
Start with fewer lines (maxLevels=3 or 5) so the chart remains clear.
You can experiment with a small breakLook if you want more immediate breakout signals, or a higher breakLook if you need stronger confirmation.
Enjoy using the “Multi-Timeframe S/R & Breakout Projection” script! It simplifies the manual process of spotting higher timeframe pivot lines and helps you quickly assess potential breakouts or fakes on your intraday charts, all while giving you a snapshot of the higher timeframe’s trend and sentiment.
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.

Bullish Breakout After ConsolidationDescription:
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.
Support and Resistance Lines: Horizontal lines plot the highest high (resistance) and lowest low (support) during the consolidation period, helping traders visualize the breakout levels.
Moving Averages: Optional 20-day and 50-day simple moving averages are plotted for additional trend confirmation.
How to Use:
Apply the Indicator: Add the indicator to your chart in TradingView to start analyzing potential breakouts.
Observe Consolidation: Look for tight consolidation periods where the price trades within a narrow range.
Identify Breakouts: Watch for breakouts where the price moves above the highest high of the consolidation range, supported by increased volume.
Confirm with Labels: The "Breakout" label will help you quickly identify valid breakout signals.
Parameters:
Consolidation Length: Number of days to consider for consolidation.
Range Percentage: Maximum percentage range for consolidation tightness.
Days After Consolidation: Number of days post-consolidation to check for the breakout.
Note: As with any trading tool, it is important to use this indicator as part of a broader trading strategy and in conjunction with other forms of analysis.

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

Lakshmi - Low Volatility Range Breakout (LVRB)⚡️ Overview
The Low Volatility Range Breakout (LVRB) indicator is designed to identify consolidation phases characterized by suppressed volatility and generate actionable signals when price breaks out of these ranges. The underlying premise is rooted in the market principle that periods of low volatility often precede significant directional moves—volatility contraction leads to expansion.
Important Note on Optimization: The default parameter settings of this indicator have been specifically optimized for BTCUSDT on the 2-hour (2H) timeframe. While the indicator can be applied to other instruments and timeframes, users are encouraged to adjust the parameters accordingly to suit different trading conditions and asset characteristics.
This indicator automates the detection of "quiet" accumulation/distribution zones and provides clear visual cues and alerts when a breakout occurs.
⚡️ How to Use
1. Add the indicator to your chart. Default settings are optimized for BTCUSDT 2H.
2. Wait for a gray box to appear—this indicates a qualified low-volatility range is forming.
3. Monitor for breakout signals:
• LONG (green triangle below bar): Price broke above the range. Consider entering a long position.
• SHORT (red triangle above bar): Price broke below the range. Consider entering a short position.
4. Set alerts using "LVRB LONG" or "LVRB SHORT" to receive notifications on confirmed breakouts.
5. Adjust parameters as needed for different instruments or timeframes.
Tip: Combine with volume analysis or trend filters for higher-probability setups.
⚡️ How It Works
1. Low Volatility Bar Detection
A bar is classified as "low volatility" when it meets the following criteria:
• True Range (TR) is at or below the average TR (Simple Moving Average) multiplied by a user-defined threshold.
• (Optional) Candle Body is at or below the average body size multiplied by a separate threshold.
This dual-filter approach helps isolate bars that exhibit genuine compression in both range and directional commitment.
2. Range Box Formation
When consecutive low-volatility bars are detected, the indicator begins constructing a consolidation box:
• The box expands to encompass the high and low of qualifying bars.
• A minimum number of bars and a minimum fraction of low-volatility bars are required for the box to become "qualified" (active).
• A configurable tolerance allows for a limited number of consecutive non-low-vol bars within the sequence, accommodating minor noise without invalidating the range.
• If the box height exceeds a maximum threshold (defined as a multiple of the base ATR at sequence start), the range is invalidated.
3. Breakout Detection
Once a qualified range is established, the indicator monitors for breakouts:
• Wick Mode: Requires both a wick pierce beyond the range boundary AND a close outside the range.
• Close Mode: Requires only a close beyond the range boundary.
• (Optional) Breakout Body Filter: The breakout candle's body must exceed a multiple of the average body size at range formation.
• (Optional) Candle Direction Filter: Bullish breakouts require a green candle; bearish breakouts require a red candle.
Signals are displayed in real-time and confirmed upon bar close.
⚡️ Inputs & Parameters
• Volatility Window: Lookback period for calculating average TR and average body size.
• TR Multiplier: A bar's TR must be ≤ avgTR × this value to qualify as low-vol.
• Body Multiplier: A bar's body must be ≤ avgBody × this value (if body filter is enabled).
• Use Body Filter: Toggle the body size filter on/off.
• Min Bars in Box: Minimum number of bars required for a range to become qualified.
• Min Low-Vol Fraction: Minimum proportion of bars in the sequence that must be low-vol.
• Allowed Consecutive Non-Low-Vol Bars: Tolerance for consecutive bars that do not meet low-vol criteria.
• Max Box Height: Maximum allowed range height as a multiple of the base ATR.
• Breakout Mode: Choose between "Wick" (pierce + close) or "Close" (close only).
• Breakout Body Multiplier: Require breakout candle body ≥ avgBody × this value (1.0 = OFF).
• Require Candle Direction: Enforce green candle for LONG, red candle for SHORT.
⚡️ Visual Features
• Consolidation Boxes: Displayed in neutral (gray) color during formation. Upon a confirmed breakout, the box is colored green for bullish breakouts or red for bearish breakouts.
• Breakout Signals:
• LONG: Green upward triangle displayed below the price bar with "LONG" label.
• SHORT: Red downward triangle displayed above the price bar with "SHORT" label.
• Range Levels: Optional horizontal plots for the active range's high and low.
• Invalidated Boxes: Optionally retained in neutral (gray) color or deleted from the chart.
• Full Customization: Colors, transparency, and border width are all adjustable.
⚡️ Alerts
Two alert conditions are available:
• LVRB LONG: Triggered on a confirmed bullish breakout (bar close).
• LVRB SHORT: Triggered on a confirmed bearish breakout (bar close).
⚡️ Use Cases
• Breakout Trading: Enter positions when price escapes a well-defined low-volatility range.
• Volatility Expansion Plays: Anticipate increased volatility following periods of compression.
• Filtering Choppy Markets: Avoid trading during extended consolidation; wait for confirmed breakouts.
• Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Use on higher timeframes to identify major consolidation zones.
⚡️ Notes
• Best used in conjunction with volume analysis, trend context, or support/resistance levels for confirmation.
• Performance varies across instruments and timeframes; backtesting and parameter optimization are recommended.

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.
Support and Resistance Logistic Regression | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Logistic Regression Support / Resistance indicator! This tool leverages advanced statistical modeling "Logistic Regressions" to identify and project key price levels where the market is likely to find support or resistance. For more information about the process, please check the "HOW DOES IT WORK ?" section.
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.
