Machine Learning Breakouts (from Pivots)I developed the 'Machine Learning Breakouts (from Pivots)' indicator to revolutionize the way we detect breakout opportunities and follow trend, harnessing the power of pivot points and machine learning. This tool integrates the k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN) method with the Euclidean distance algorithm, meticulously analyzing pivot points to accurately forecast multiple breakout paths/zones. "ML Pivots Breakouts" is designed to identify and visually alert traders on bullish breakouts above high lines and bearish breakouts below low lines, offering essential insights for breakout and trend follower traders.
For traders, the instruction is clear: a bullish breakout signal is given when the price crosses above the forecasted high line, indicating potential entry points for long positions. Conversely, a bearish breakout signal is provided when the price breaks below the forecasted low line, suggesting opportunities to enter short positions. This makes the indicator a vital asset for navigating through market volatilities and capitalizing on emerging trends, designed for both long and short strategies and adeptly adapting to market shifts.
In this indicator I operate in a two-dimensional space defined by price and time. The choice of Euclidean distance as the preferred method for this analysis hinges on its simplicity and effectiveness in measuring and predicting straight-line distances between points in this space.
The Machine Learning Breakouts (from Pivots) Indicator calculations have been transitioned to the MLPivotsBreakouts library, simplifying the process of integration. Users can now seamlessly incorporate the "breakouts" function into their scripts to conduct detailed momentum analysis with ease.

Implied Orderblock Breaker (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Implied Order Block Breaker (Zeiierman) is a tool designed to identify enhanced order blocks with imbalances. These enhanced order blocks represent areas where there is a rapid price movement. Essentially, this indicator uses order blocks and suggests that a swift price movement away from these levels, breaking the current market structure, could indicate an area that the market has not correctly valued. This technique offers traders a unique method to identify potential market inefficiencies and imbalances, serving as a guide for potential price revisits.
The indicator doesn't scan for imbalances in the traditional sense — where there's an absence of trades between two price levels — but instead, it identifies quick movements away from key levels that suggest where an imbalance might exist. Relying on crossovers and cross-unders in conjunction with pivot points and examining the high/low within the same period provides an innovative method for traders to spot these potentially undervalued or overvalued areas in the market. These inferred imbalances can be crucial for traders looking for price levels where the market might make significant moves.
█ How It Works
Bullish
Crossover: The closing price of a bar crosses above a pivot high, which is an indication that buyers are in control and pushing the price upwards.
New Low Within Period: There is a lower low within the same period as the pivot high. This suggests that after setting a high, the market pulled back to set a new low, potentially leaving a price gap on the way up as the price quickly recovers.
Bearish
Crossunder: The closing price of a bar crosses under a pivot low, indicating that sellers are taking control and driving the price down.
New High Within Period: There is a higher high within the same period as the pivot low. This condition suggests that the market rallied to a new high before falling back below the pivot low, potentially leaving a gap on the way down.
█ How to Use
The enhanced order blocks are often revisited, and the price may aim to 'fill' the potential imbalance created by the rapid price movement, thereby presenting traders with potential entry or exit points. This approach aligns with the idea that imbalances are frequently revisited by the market, and when combined with the context of Order Blocks, it provides even more confluence.
Example
Here, if the price drops rapidly after setting a new high—crossing under the pivot low—it may skip over certain price levels, creating a 'gap' that signifies an area where the price might have been overvalued (imbalance), which the market may revisit for a potential price correction or revaluation.
█ Settings
Period: Determines the number of bars used for identifying pivot highs and lows. A higher value gives more significant but less frequent signals, while a lower value increases sensitivity but might give more false positives.
Pivot Surrounding: Specifies the number of candles to analyze around a pivot point. Increasing this value broadens the analysis range, potentially capturing more setups but possibly including less significant ones.

London BreakOut ClassicHey there, this is my first time publishing a strategy. The strategy is based on the London Breakout Idea, an incredibly popular concept with abundant information available online.
Let me summarize the London Breakout Strategy in a nutshell: It involves identifying key price levels based on the Tokyo Session before the London Session starts. Typically, these key levels are the high and low of the previous Tokyo session. If a breakout occurs during the London session, you simply follow the trend.
The purpose of this code
After conducting my research, I came across numerous posts, videos, and articles discussing the London Breakout Strategy. I aimed to automatically test it myself to verify whether the claims made by these so-called trading gurus are accurate or not. Consequently, I wrote this script to gain an understanding of how this strategy would perform if I were to follow its basic settings blindly.
Explanation of drawings on the chart:
Red or Green Box: A box is drawn on our chart displaying the exact range of the Tokyo trading session. This box is colored red if the trend during the session was downward and green if it was upward. The box is always drawn between the high and the low between 0:00 AM and 7:00 AM UTC. You can change the settings via the Inputs "Session time Tokyo" & "Session time zone".
Green Background: The green background represents the London trading session. My code allows us to make entries only during this time. If we haven't entered a trade, any pending orders are canceled. I've also programmed a timeout at 11 pm to ensure every trade is closed before the new Tokyo session begins.
Red Line: The red line is automatically placed in the middle of our previous Tokyo range. This line acts as our stop loss. If we cross this line after entering a trade but before reaching our take profit, we'll be stopped out.
When do we enter a trade?
We wait for a candle body to close outside of the previous Tokyo range to enter a trade with the opening of the next candle. We only enter one trade per day.
Where do we put our Take Profit?
The code calculates the exact distance between our entry point and the stop loss. We are trading a risk-reward ratio of 1:1 by default, meaning our take profit is always the same number of pips away from our entry as the stop loss. The Stop Loss is always defined by the red line on the chart. You can change the risk-reward ratio via the inputs setting "CRV", to see how the result changes.
What is the purpose of this script?
I wanted to backtest the London breakout strategy to see how it actually works. Therefore, I wrote this code so that everybody can test it for themselves. You can change the settings and see how the result changes. Typically, you should test this strategy on forex markets and on either 1Min, 5 Min, or 15 Min timeframe.
What are the results?
Over the last 3-6 months (over 100 trades), trading the strategy with my default settings hasn't proven to be very successful. Consequently, I do not recommend trading this strategy blindly. The purpose of this code is to provide you with a foundation for the London Breakout Strategy, allowing you to modify and enhance it according to your preferences. If you're contemplating whether to give it a try, you can assess the results from the past months by using this code as a starting point.
Price breakout and reversal [TCS] | PAThis indicator is designed to identify potential breaks and reversals in price movements for a financial instrument.
The indicator displays several elements to assist users in spotting specific market conditions:
1. High and Low Pivots : The indicator marks the highest and lowest points on the price chart within a customizable lookback period. These pivots represent important turning points in the price movement and serve as reference levels for potential breakouts and reversals.
2. Fair Value Line : A horizontal line is drawn at the midpoint between the high and low pivots. This line represents the "fair value" based on the recent price action. Traders may consider this level as a reference for evaluating the price's deviation from its average value.
3. Bullish Breakouts : When the closing price of the financial instrument crosses above the high pivot the indicator identifies a potential bullish breakout. This suggests a possible buying opportunity.
4. Bearish Breakouts : Conversely, a bearish breakout is identified when the closing price crosses below the low pivot. This may indicate a selling opportunity.
5. Fair Value Breakouts : In addition to regular breakouts, the indicator can detect breakouts based on the fair value line. If the closing price crosses above or below the fair value line, it may signal a fair value breakout, indicating the price's potential return to its average level.
6. Reversals : Reversal patterns are essential in technical analysis. The indicator identifies potential bullish and bearish reversals .
The indicator enhances its visual signals with geometric shapes (triangles and diamonds) placed above or below the price bars to represent different types of breakouts and reversals.
Moreover, the indicator can be configured to send alerts to the user when any of these specific events occur, helping traders stay informed and respond promptly to potential trading opportunities.
Please note that this code is for educational purposes only and should not be used for trading without further testing and analysis.
Banded Chikou Breakout — Quantifying Ichimoku MomentumTitle: Banded Chikou Breakout — Quantifying Ichimoku Momentum
Overview:
Banded Chikou Breakout (BCB) is a unique, algorithmic script designed to augment the capabilities of traders seeking substantial breakout opportunities. Constructed on the robust principles of the Ichimoku trading strategy, BCB is designed to quantify and filter the Chikou Span's significant breakouts above or below the price action. This script does not aim to replace the Ichimoku system; instead, it enhances it, providing an optimized tool for momentum trading.
Rationale:
Ichimoku traders often scrutinize the Chikou Span's position relative to price action to identify market trends. However, determining whether the Chikou Span is above or below due to a genuine trend or mere market noise can be challenging in choppy markets. BCB resolves this predicament by offering a unique way to interpret the Chikou Span's movement. It does so by quantifying the Chikou Span's momentum and utilizing Bollinger Bands to determine its significance. By effectively differentiating substantial movements from the insignificant, BCB can help traders better navigate the market and increase their potential for profitable trades.
How it Works:
BCB combines three key elements: a Momentum Script (simulating Chikou Span), a Bollinger Band Script, and a Timeframe Switcher, all working together to provide a refined trading perspective.
Momentum Script: Calculates the price difference between the current price and the price 'n' periods ago, transforming the Chikou Span into a quantifiable momentum value that signifies the strength and speed of a market move.
Bollinger Band Script: Computes a Simple Moving Average (SMA) around the momentum, plotting two 'bands' at a specified standard deviation from this SMA. This functionality allows traders to discern when the Chikou Span's momentum is abnormally high or low, signifying a potential significant breakout.
Timeframe Switcher: This feature lets traders apply the BCB script to a different timeframe from the one they are currently viewing. This capability can help traders identify higher timeframe breakouts and trade them with precision on the lower timeframe.
How to Use:
BCB is designed to complement the Ichimoku strategy for effective breakout identification.
Add the BCB script to your trading chart. It plots the momentum (yellow line) and Bollinger Bands (green lines) with the area between the bands shaded blue.
Utilize the Ichimoku strategy to identify larger and smaller timeframe trends.
Optional: Leverage the timeframe switcher to synchronize your trades with higher timeframe trends while operating on lower timeframes.
If the BCB momentum line crosses the upper Bollinger Band while the Ichimoku indicates a bullish trend, it signifies a potential significant upward breakout. Similarly, a cross below the lower band during a bearish trend could denote a significant downward breakout.
Remember, without the context provided by the Ichimoku system's trend analysis, BCB can yield false breakouts. It is, therefore, crucial to use these tools in tandem. I like to check for an Ichimoku trend on the 4H and 1H charts, and then use BCB on charts <60 minutes to capture trends with precision.
Volatility Compression BreakoutThe Volatility Compression Breakout indicator is designed to identify periods of low volatility followed by potential breakout opportunities in the market. It aims to capture moments when the price consolidates within a narrow range, indicating a decrease in volatility, and anticipates a subsequent expansion in price movement. This indicator can be applied to any financial instrument and timeframe.
When the close price is above both the Keltner Middle line and the Exponential Moving Average (EMA), the bars are colored lime green, indicating a potential bullish market sentiment. When the close price is positioned above the Keltner Middle but below the EMA, or below the Keltner Middle but above the EMA, the bars are colored yellow, signifying a neutral or indecisive market condition. Conversely, when the close price falls below both the Keltner Middle and the EMA, the bars are colored fuchsia, suggesting a potential bearish market sentiment.
Additionally, the coloration of the Keltner Middle line and the EMA provides further visual cues for assessing the trend. When the close price is above the Keltner Middle, the line is colored lime green, indicating a bullish trend. Conversely, when the close price is below the Keltner Middle, the line is colored fuchsia, highlighting a bearish trend. Similarly, the EMA line is colored lime green when the close price is above it, representing a bullish trend, and fuchsia when the close price is below it, indicating a bearish trend.
Parameters
-- Compression Period : This parameter determines the lookback period used to calculate the volatility compression. A larger value will consider a longer historical period for volatility analysis, potentially capturing broader market conditions. Conversely, a smaller value focuses on more recent price action, providing a more responsive signal to current market conditions.
-- Compression Multiplier : The compression multiplier is a factor applied to the Average True Range (ATR) to determine the width of the Keltner Channels. Increasing the multiplier expands the width of the channels, allowing for a larger price range before a breakout is triggered. Decreasing the multiplier tightens the channels and requires a narrower price range for a breakout signal.
-- EMA Period : This parameter sets the period for the Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which acts as a trend filter. The EMA helps identify the overall market trend and provides additional confirmation for potential breakouts. Adjusting the period allows you to capture shorter or longer-term trends, depending on your trading preferences.
How Changing Parameters Can Be Beneficial
Modifying the parameters allows you to adapt the indicator to different market conditions and trading styles. Increasing the compression period can help identify broader volatility patterns and major market shifts. On the other hand, decreasing the compression period provides more precise and timely signals for short-term traders.
Adjusting the compression multiplier affects the width of the Keltner Channels. Higher multipliers increase the breakout threshold, filtering out smaller price movements and providing more reliable signals during significant market shifts. Lower multipliers make the indicator more sensitive to smaller price ranges, generating more frequent but potentially less reliable signals.
The EMA period in the trend filter helps you align your trades with the prevailing market direction. Increasing the EMA period smoothes out the trend, filtering out shorter-term fluctuations and focusing on more sustained moves. Decreasing the EMA period allows for quicker responses to changes in trend, capturing shorter-term price swings.
Potential Downsides
While the Volatility Compression Breakout indicator can provide valuable insights into potential breakouts, it's important to note that no indicator guarantees accuracy or eliminates risk. False breakouts and whipsaw movements can occur, especially in volatile or choppy market conditions. It is recommended to combine this indicator with other technical analysis tools and consider fundamental factors to validate potential trade opportunities.
Making It Work for You
To maximize the effectiveness of the Volatility Compression Breakout indicator, consider the following:
-- Combine it with other indicators : Use complementary indicators such as trend lines, oscillators, or support and resistance levels to confirm signals and increase the probability of successful trades.
-- Practice risk management : Set appropriate stop-loss levels to protect your capital in case of false breakouts or adverse price movements. Consider implementing trailing stops or adjusting stop-loss levels as the trade progresses.
-- Validate with price action : Analyze the price action within the compression phase and look for signs of building momentum or weakening trends. Support your decisions by observing candlestick patterns and volume behavior during the breakout.
-- Backtest and optimize : Test the indicator's performance across different timeframes and market conditions. Optimize the parameters based on historical data to find the most suitable settings for your trading strategy.
Remember, no single indicator can guarantee consistent profitability, and it's essential to use the Volatility Compression Breakout indicator as part of a comprehensive trading plan. Regularly review and adapt your strategy based on market conditions and your trading experience. Monitor the indicator's performance and make necessary adjustments to parameter values if the market dynamics change.
By adjusting the parameters and incorporating additional analysis techniques, you can customize the indicator to suit your trading style and preferences. However, it is crucial to exercise caution, conduct thorough analysis, and practice proper risk management to increase the likelihood of successful trades. Remember that no indicator can guarantee profits, and continuous learning and adaptation are key to long-term trading success.
Volatility Range Breakout Strategy [wbburgin]The "Volatility Range Breakout Strategy" uses deviations of high-low volatility to determine bullish and bearish breakouts.
HOW IT WORKS
The volatility function uses the high-low range of a lookback period, divided by the average of that range, to determine the likelihood that price will break in a specific direction.
High and low ranges are determined by the relative volatility compared to the current closing price. The high range, for example, is the (volatility * close) added to the close, the low range is this value subtracted by the close.
A volatility-weighted moving average is taken of these high and low ranges to form high and low bands.
Finally, breakouts are identified once the price closes above or below these bands. An upwards breakout (bullish) occurs when the price breaks above the upper band, while a downwards breakout (bearish) occurs when the price breaks below the lower band. Positions can be closed either by when the price falls out of its current band ("Range Crossover" in settings under 'Exit Type') or when the price falls below or above the volatility MA (default because this allows us to catch trends for longer).
INPUTS/SETTINGS
The AVERAGE LENGTH is the period for the volatility MA and the weighted volatility bands.
The VOLATILITY LENGTH is how far the lookback should be for highs/lows for the volatility calculation.
Enjoy! Let me know if you have any questions.
Order Blocks & Breaker Blocks [LuxAlgo]The Order Blocks & Breaker Blocks indicator detects order blocks that can be turned into breaker blocks on the chart automatically once mitigated.
Users can determine the amount of bullish and bearish order/breaker blocks that display on their chart from within the settings menu.
🔶 SETTINGS
Swing Lookback: Lookback period used for the detection of the swing points used to create order blocks.
Show Last Bullish OB: Number of the most recent bullish order/breaker blocks to display on the chart.
Show Last Bearish OB: Number of the most recent bearish order/breaker blocks to display on the chart.
Use Candle Body: Allows users to use candle bodies as order block areas instead of the full candle range.
🔹 Style
Show Historical Polarity Changes: Allows users to see labels indicating where a swing high/low previously occurred within a breaker block.
🔶 USAGE
We have published several scripts covering the detection of order blocks previously, however, the concept of breaker blocks was not yet introduced.
When price mitigates an order block, a breaker block is confirmed. We can eventually expect price to trade back to this breaker block offering a new trade opportunity.
We can see that this is similar to a change in polarity, where a support becomes a resistance after a breakout and vice versa.
This script highlights regular order blocks as solid extended areas on the chart and breaker blocks as dashed lines with dual-colored areas. The color change and dashed line starts at the location where the order block was mitigated.
Using a higher "Swing Lookback" setting will return longer term order/breaker blocks on the chart.
Users can optionally enable "Historical Polarity Changes" labels within the settings menu to see where breaker blocks might have provided an effective trade setup previously.
The "Historical Polarity Changes" setting is disabled by default & is most effective using replay mode as the labels are backpainted.
The order blocks & breaker blocks themselves can be used in real-time as they are detected based on the swing length & previous breaker blocks being mitigated.
Support Resistance with Breaks and RetestsThe Break and Retest indicator strives to provide a visual aid for spotting areas of continuation and pullbacks. Support and resistance levels are drawn out automatically and have sequential conditions in place to determine a breakout following an eventual retest. Additionally, there are methods in place that try and detect liquidation events and still output a retest.
Although there are options to adjust repaint settings, "potential labels" are structured in a way to detect live ongoing retest events and therefore will be the only thing in the script that will be forced to repaint.
🔳 Settings
Lookback Range: Lookback period to trigger a new support/resistance level when pivot conditions are met.
Bars Since Breakout: How many bars since breakout in order to detect a retest.
Retest Detection Limiter: Whenever a potential retest is detected, the indicator knows that a retest is about to happen. In that given situation, this input grants the ability to raise the limit on how many bars are allowed to be actively checked while a potential retest event is active. For example, if you see the potential retest label, how many bars do you want that potential retest label to be active for to eventually confirm a retest?
🔳 Repaint Options
By default, the break and retest system uses the current close value to determine a condition. (Repaints by default)
On: Allows repainting
Off - Bar Confirmation: Prevents repainting and generates alerts when the bar closes. (1 candle later)
Off - High & Low: Prevents repainting, but in return utilizes both the high and low values instead of the close which may yield a higher outcome and inaccurate results.
🔳 How it works
In the background, calculations aren't searching for the perfect retest within the zone but instead focuses its attention towards price fluctuation around the zones. This allows the indicator to yield more results than it would otherwise.
The chart below provides an example of how potential retests are established. These are updated constantly until a retest is confirmed, and deleted if not. If a potential retest is active and the next candle drops below the value when the potential retest was detected, a retest is placed..
🔳 Alerts
Trendlines with Breaks [LuxAlgo]The trendlines with breaks indicator return pivot point based trendlines with highlighted breakouts. Users can control the steepness of the trendlines as well as their slope calculation method.
Trendline breakouts occur in real-time and are not subject to backpainting. Trendlines can however be subject to repainting unless turned off from the user settings.
The indicator includes integrated alerts for trendline breakouts.
🔶 USAGE
Any valid trendlines methodology can be used with the indicator, users can identify breakouts in order to infer future price movements.
The calculation method of the slope greatly affects the trendline's behaviors. By default, an average true range is used, returning a more constant slope amongst trendlines. Other methods might return trendlines with significantly different slopes.
Stdev makes use of the standard deviation for the slope calculation, while Linreg makes use of the slope of a linear regression.
The above chart shows the indicator using "Stdev" as a slope calculation method. The chart below makes use of the "Linreg" method.
By default trendlines are subject to backpainting, and as such are offset by length bars in the past. Disabling backpainting will not offset the trendlines.
🔶 SETTINGS
Length: Pivot points period
Slope: Slope steepness, values greater than 1 return a steeper slope. Using a slope of 0 would be equivalent to obtaining levels.
Slope Calculation Method: Determines how the slope is calculated.
Backpaint: Determine whether trendlines are backpainted, that is offset to past.
Ichimoku breakoutIf you use Ichimoku Cloud strategies, this indicator is very useful for you!
This code indicates the candles that break the ichimoku cloud in both directions!
conversion line, base line and lagging span are disable by default, you can enable it from settings window.
green triangles under the candles with green backgrounds show break out the red clouds.
red triangles at the top of the candles with red backgrounds show break out the red clouds.
you can set alerts to be notified when an Ichimoku Cloud is broken.
Candle Breakout Oscillator [LuxAlgo]The Candle Breakout Oscillator tool allows traders to identify the strength and weakness of the three main market states: bullish, bearish, and choppy.
Know who controls the market at any given moment with an oscillator display with values ranging from 0 to 100 for the three main plots and upper and lower thresholds of 80 and 20 by default.
🔶 USAGE
The Candle Breakout Oscillator represents the three main market states, with values ranging from 0 to 100. By default, the upper and lower thresholds are set at 80 and 20, and when a value exceeds these thresholds, a colored area is displayed for the trader's convenience.
This tool is based on pure price action breakouts. In this context, we understand a breakout as a close above the last candle's high or low, which is representative of market strength. All other close positions in relation to the last candle's limits are considered weakness.
So, when the bullish plot (in green) is at the top of the oscillator (values above 80), it means that the bullish breakouts (close below the last candle low) are at their maximum value over the calculation window, indicating an uptrend. The same interpretation can be made for the bearish plot (in red), indicating a downtrend when high.
On the other hand, weakness is indicated when values are below the lower threshold (20), indicating that breakouts are at their minimum over the last 100 candles. Below are some examples of the possible main interpretations:
There are three main things to look for in this oscillator:
Value reaches extreme
Value leaves extreme
Bullish/Bearish crossovers
As we can see on the chart, before the first crossover happens the bears come out of strength (top) and the bulls come out of weakness (bottom), then after the crossover the bulls reach strength (top) and the bears weakness (bottom), this process is repeated in reverse for the second crossover.
The other main feature of the oscillator is its ability to identify periods of sideways trends when the sideways values have upper readings above 80, and trending behavior when the sideways values have lower readings below 20. As we just saw in the case of bullish vs. bearish, sideways values signal a change in behavior when reaching or leaving the extremes of the oscillator.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Data Smoothing
The tool offers up to 10 different smoothing methods. In the chart above, we can see the raw data (smoothing: None) and the RMA, TEMA, or Hull moving averages.
🔹 Data Weighting
Users can add different weighting methods to the data. As we can see in the image above, users can choose between None, Volume, or Price (as in Price Delta for each breakout).
🔶 SETTINGS
Window: Execution window, 100 candles by default
🔹 Data
Smoothing Method: Choose between none or ten moving averages
Smoothing Length: Length for the moving average
Weighting Method: Choose between None, Volume, or Price
🔹 Thresholds
Top: 80 by default
Bottom: 20 by default
Trendline Breaks with Multi Fibonacci Supertrend StrategyTMFS Strategy: Advanced Trendline Breakouts with Multi-Fibonacci Supertrend
Elevate your algorithmic trading with institutional-grade signal confluence
Strategy Genesis & Evolution
This advanced trading system represents the culmination of a personal research journey, evolving from my custom " Multi Fibonacci Supertrend with Signals " indicator into a comprehensive trading strategy. Built upon the exceptional trendline detection methodology pioneered by LuxAlgo in their " Trendlines with Breaks " indicator, I've engineered a systematic framework that integrates multiple technical factors into a cohesive trading system.
Core Fibonacci Principles
At the heart of this strategy lies the Fibonacci sequence application to volatility measurement:
// Fibonacci-based factors for multiple Supertrend calculations
factor1 = input.float(0.618, 'Factor 1 (Weak/Fibonacci)', minval = 0.01, step = 0.01)
factor2 = input.float(1.618, 'Factor 2 (Medium/Golden Ratio)', minval = 0.01, step = 0.01)
factor3 = input.float(2.618, 'Factor 3 (Strong/Extended Fib)', minval = 0.01, step = 0.01)
These precise Fibonacci ratios create a dynamic volatility envelope that adapts to changing market conditions while maintaining mathematical harmony with natural price movements.
Dynamic Trendline Detection
The strategy incorporates LuxAlgo's pioneering approach to trendline detection:
// Pivotal swing detection (inspired by LuxAlgo)
pivot_high = ta.pivothigh(swing_length, swing_length)
pivot_low = ta.pivotlow(swing_length, swing_length)
// Dynamic slope calculation using ATR
slope = atr_value / swing_length * atr_multiplier
// Update trendlines based on pivot detection
if bool(pivot_high)
upper_slope := slope
upper_trendline := pivot_high
else
upper_trendline := nz(upper_trendline) - nz(upper_slope)
This adaptive trendline approach automatically identifies key structural market boundaries, adjusting in real-time to evolving chart patterns.
Breakout State Management
The strategy implements sophisticated state tracking for breakout detection:
// Track breakouts with state variables
var int upper_breakout_state = 0
var int lower_breakout_state = 0
// Update breakout state when price crosses trendlines
upper_breakout_state := bool(pivot_high) ? 0 : close > upper_trendline ? 1 : upper_breakout_state
lower_breakout_state := bool(pivot_low) ? 0 : close < lower_trendline ? 1 : lower_breakout_state
// Detect new breakouts (state transitions)
bool new_upper_breakout = upper_breakout_state > upper_breakout_state
bool new_lower_breakout = lower_breakout_state > lower_breakout_state
This state-based approach enables precise identification of the exact moment when price breaks through a significant trendline.
Multi-Factor Signal Confluence
Entry signals require confirmation from multiple technical factors:
// Define entry conditions with multi-factor confluence
long_entry_condition = enable_long_positions and
upper_breakout_state > upper_breakout_state and // New trendline breakout
di_plus > di_minus and // Bullish DMI confirmation
close > smoothed_trend // Price above Supertrend envelope
// Execute trades only with full confirmation
if long_entry_condition
strategy.entry('L', strategy.long, comment = "LONG")
This strict requirement for confluence significantly reduces false signals and improves the quality of trade entries.
Advanced Risk Management
The strategy includes sophisticated risk controls with multiple methodologies:
// Calculate stop loss based on selected method
get_long_stop_loss_price(base_price) =>
switch stop_loss_method
'PERC' => base_price * (1 - long_stop_loss_percent)
'ATR' => base_price - long_stop_loss_atr_multiplier * entry_atr
'RR' => base_price - (get_long_take_profit_price() - base_price) / long_risk_reward_ratio
=> na
// Implement trailing functionality
strategy.exit(
id = 'Long Take Profit / Stop Loss',
from_entry = 'L',
qty_percent = take_profit_quantity_percent,
limit = trailing_take_profit_enabled ? na : long_take_profit_price,
stop = long_stop_loss_price,
trail_price = trailing_take_profit_enabled ? long_take_profit_price : na,
trail_offset = trailing_take_profit_enabled ? long_trailing_tp_step_ticks : na,
comment = "TP/SL Triggered"
)
This flexible approach adapts to varying market conditions while providing comprehensive downside protection.
Performance Characteristics
Rigorous backtesting demonstrates exceptional capital appreciation potential with impressive risk-adjusted metrics:
Remarkable total return profile (1,517%+)
Strong Sortino ratio (3.691) indicating superior downside risk control
Profit factor of 1.924 across all trades (2.153 for long positions)
Win rate exceeding 35% with balanced distribution across varied market conditions
Institutional Considerations
The strategy architecture addresses execution complexities faced by institutional participants with temporal filtering and date-range capabilities:
// Time Filter settings with flexible timezone support
import jason5480/time_filters/5 as time_filter
src_timezone = input.string(defval = 'Exchange', title = 'Source Timezone')
dst_timezone = input.string(defval = 'Exchange', title = 'Destination Timezone')
// Date range filtering for precise execution windows
use_from_date = input.bool(defval = true, title = 'Enable Start Date')
from_date = input.time(defval = timestamp('01 Jan 2022 00:00'), title = 'Start Date')
// Validate trading permission based on temporal constraints
date_filter_approved = time_filter.is_in_date_range(
use_from_date, from_date, use_to_date, to_date, src_timezone, dst_timezone
)
These capabilities enable precise execution timing and market session optimization critical for larger market participants.

Smart Money Breakouts [iskess 01-02 11:05]This is an big update to the excellent Smart Money Breakout Script published in Oct 2023 by ChartPrime who, to my knowledge, was the original author.
FULL CREDIT GOES TO CHARTPRIME FOR THIS ORIGINAL WORK.
Per the moderator's rules, you will find below a meaningful, detailed self-contained description that does not rely on delegation to the open source code or links to other content. You will find in the description details on what the script does, how it does that, how to use it, and how it is original.
The "Smart Money Breakouts" indicator is designed to identify breakouts based on changes in character (CHOCH) or breaks of structure (BOS) patterns, facilitating automated trading with user-defined Take Profit (TP) level.
The indicator incorporates essential elements such as volume analysis and a data table to assist traders in optimizing their strategies.
🔸Breakout Detection:
The indicator scans price movements for "Change in Character" (CHOCH) and "Break of Structure" (BOS) patterns, signaling potential breakout opportunities in the market.
🔸User-Defined TP/SL :
Traders can customize the Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) through the indicator settings, with these levels dynamically calculated based on the Average True Range (ATR). This allows for precise risk management and profit targets that adapt to market volatility. Traders can also select the lookback period for the TP/SL calculations.
🔸Volume Analysis and Trade Direction Specific Analysis:
The indicator includes a volume checker that provides valuable insights into the strength of the breakout, taking into account trade direction.
🔸If the volume label is red and the trade is long, it suggests a higher likelihood of hitting the Stop Loss (SL).
🔸If the volume label is green and the trade is long, it indicates a higher probability of hitting the Take Profit (TP).
🔸For short trades, a red volume label suggests a higher likelihood of hitting TP, while a green label suggests a higher likelihood of hitting SL.
🔸A yellow volume label suggests that the volume is inconclusive, neither favoring bullish nor bearish movements.
🔸Data Table:
The indicator features a data table that keeps track of the number of winning and losing trades for specific timeframes or configurations. It also shows the percentage of profits vs losses, and the overall profit/loss for the selected lookback period.
This table serves as a valuable tool for traders to analyze performance and discover optimal settings and timeframes.
The "Smart Money Breakouts" indicator provides traders with a comprehensive solution for breakout trading, combining technical analysis of changes in character and breaks of structure, volume insights, and performance tracking while dynamically adjusting TP and SL levels based on market volatility through the ATR.
This version of the script is a "significant improvement" from Chart Prime's original work in the following ways:
- A selectable range of candles for the profit/loss calculations to look back on.
- An updated table that includes the percentage of wins/losses, and and overall P&L during the selected lookback range.
- The user can now select only Long trades, Short trades, or both.
- The percentage gain/loss is now indicated for every trade on the chart.
- The user can now select a different multiplier for Stop Loss or Take Profit thresholds.
Price & Volume Breakout Fibonacci Probability [TradeDots]📝 OVERVIEW
The "Price & Volume Breakout Fibonacci Probability" indicator is designed to detect the probability of the maximum run-up and drawdown of each breakout trade on an asset, assisting traders in optimizing their take profit and stop loss strategies.
🧮 CALCULATIONS
The algorithm detects price and volume breakouts to activate the Fibonacci levels displayed on the chart. It calculates these levels using the period pivot high and low, with the close price of the breakout bar as the reference price.
The indicator then forward-tests within an user-selected number of bars, detecting the maximum run-up and drawdown during that period. Consequently, it calculates the probability of the price hitting either side of the Fibonacci levels, showing the likelihood of reaching take profit and stop loss targets for each breakout trade.
📊 EXAMPLE
The above example shows two breakout trades, circled within the yellow rectangle zone.
The first trade has a maximum run-up above the +0.382 Fibonacci level zone and a maximum drawdown below the -0.618 Fibonacci level zone.
When the price reaches the maximum run-up, it only has a ~45% probability of moving further upward into the last two zones (25% + 19.44%). This indicates that setting a take profit at a higher level may have less than a 50% chance of success.
Conversely, when the price reaches its maximum drawdown, there is only an ~8% probability of moving further downward into the last drawdown zone. This could indicate a potential reversal.
⚙️ SETTINGS
Breakout Condition: Determines the type of breakout condition to track: "Price", "Volume", "Price & Volume".
Backtest Period: The maximum run-up and drawdown are detected within this bar period.
Price Breakout Period: Specifies the number of bars the price needs to break out from.
Volume Breakout Period: Specifies the number of bars the volume needs to break out from.
Trendline Confirmation: Confirms that the close price needs to be above the trendline.
📈 HOW TO USE
By understanding the probabilities of price movements to both the upside and downside, traders can set take profit and stop loss targets with greater accuracy.
For instance, placing a stop loss order below the zone with the highest probability minimizes the chances of being stopped out of a profitable trade. Conversely, setting a take profit target at the zone with the highest probability increases the win rate.
Additionally, if the price breaches multiple Fibonacci levels during the breakout period, it may indicate an abnormal state, signaling a potential reversal or pullback. This can help traders exit trades in a timely manner.
Traders can adjust their take profit and stop loss levels based on their individual risk tolerance.
RISK DISCLAIMER
Trading entails substantial risk, and most day traders incur losses. All content, tools, scripts, articles, and education provided by TradeDots serve purely informational and educational purposes. Past performances are not definitive predictors of future results.
Market Structure Break Targets [UAlgo]The "Market Structure Break Targets " indicator is designed to identify and visualize key market structure points such as Market Structure Breaks (MSBs) and Break of Structures (BoS). These points are crucial for understanding market trends and potential reversal zones. By plotting these structures on the chart, traders can easily spot significant support and resistance levels, as well as potential entry and exit points.
This indicator uses a combination of swing highs and lows to determine market structures and calculates targets based on user-defined percentages or Average True Range (ATR) multipliers. It provides visual cues in the form of lines, labels, and boxes to help traders quickly interpret market conditions.
🔶 Key Features
Customizable Swing Length: Users can set the swing length to identify the pivot highs and lows, which are crucial for determining market structure.
Target Duration Bars: Defines the maximum duration (in bars) for which the targets will be considered valid.
Target Calculation Methods: The target levels are crucial for setting potential price objectives. The calculation can be based on a percentage move from the identified pivot or using the ATR to factor in market volatility. These targets help in setting realistic profit-taking levels or identifying stop-loss placements.
Bullish and Bearish Market Structure Break (MSB): Detects and highlights bullish and bearish market structure breaks with customizable colors and target percentages.
Bullish MSB
When the price closes above a significant pivot high, a bullish MSB is identified. The indicator will draw a line at this level and calculate a target based on the chosen method (percentage or ATR). The target is visualized with a dotted line, and a label "MSB" is displayed. Additionally, an order block is created at the level of the bullish MSB. This order block is highlighted with a semi-transparent box, representing a potential area where price might find support in the future.
Bearish MSB
Conversely, when the price closes below a significant pivot low, a bearish MSB is marked. Similar to bullish MSBs, targets are calculated and displayed on the chart. An order block is also generated at the level of the bearish MSB, visualized with a semi-transparent box. This box highlights a potential resistance area where price might face selling pressure.
Bullish and Bearish Break of Structure (BoS): Identifies break of structures for both bullish and bearish scenarios, providing additional target levels.
Bullish BoS
If the price continues to rise and breaks another significant level, a bullish BoS is detected. This break is also marked with lines and labels, providing additional target levels for traders. An order block is created at the BoS level, serving as a potential support zone.
Bearish BoS
If the price falls further after a bearish MSB, a bearish BoS is identified and visualized similarly. The indicator creates an order block at the BoS level, which acts as a potential resistance zone.

TrendLine Toolkit w/ Breaks (Real-Time)The TrendLine Toolkit script introduces an innovating capability by extending the conventional use of trendlines beyond price action to include oscillators and other technical indicators. This tool allows traders to automatically detect and display trendlines on any TradingView built-in oscillator or community-built script, offering a versatile approach to trend analysis. With breakout detection and real-time alerts, this script enhances the way traders interpret trends in various indicators.
🔲 Methodology
Trendlines are a fundamental tool in technical analysis used to identify and visualize the direction and strength of a price trend. They are drawn by connecting two or more significant points on a price chart, typically the highs or lows of consecutive price movements (pivots).
Drawing Trendlines:
Uptrend Line - Connects a series of higher lows. It signals an upward price trend.
Downtrend Line - Connects a series of lower highs. It indicates a downward price trend.
Support and Resistance:
Support Line - A trendline drawn under rising prices, indicating a level where buying interest is historically strong.
Resistance Line - A trendline drawn above falling prices, showing a level where selling interest historically prevails.
Identification of Trends:
Uptrend - Prices making higher highs and higher lows.
Downtrend - Prices making lower highs and lower lows.
Sideways (or Range-bound) - Prices moving within a horizontal range.
A trendline helps confirm the existence and direction of a trend, providing guidance in aligning with the prevailing market sentiment. Additionally, they are usually paired with breakout analysis, a breakout occurs when the price breaches a trendline. This signals a potential change in trend direction or an acceleration of the existing trend.
The script adapts this methodology to oscillators and other indicators. Instead of relying on price pivots, which can only be detected in retrospect, the script utilizes a trailing stop on the oscillator to identify potential swings in real-time, you may find more info about it here (SuperTrend toolkit) . We detect swings or pivots simply by testing for crosses between the indicator and its trailing stop.
type oscillator
float o = Oscillator Value
float s = Trailing Stop Value
oscillator osc = oscillator.new()
bool l = ta.crossunder(osc.o, osc.s) => Utilized as a formed high
bool h = ta.crossover (osc.o, osc.s) => Utilized as a formed low
This approach enables the algorithm to detect trendlines between consecutive pivot highs or lows on the oscillator itself, providing a dynamic and immediate representation of trend dynamics.
🔲 Breakout Detection
The script goes beyond trendline creation by incorporating breakout detection directly within the oscillator. After identifying a trendline, the algorithm continuously monitors the oscillator for potential breakouts, signaling shifts in market sentiment.
🔲 Setup Guide
A simple example on one of my public scripts, Z-Score Heikin-Ashi Transformed
🔲 Settings
Source - Choose an oscillator source of which to base the Toolkit on.
Zeroing - The Mid-Line value of the oscillator, for example RSI & MFI use 50.
Sensitivity - Calibrates the Sensitivity of which TrendLines are detected, higher values result in more detections.
🔲 Alerts
Bearish TrendLine
Bullish TrendLine
Bearish Breakout
Bullish Breakout
As well as the option to trigger 'any alert' call.
By integrating trendline analysis into oscillators, this Toolkit enhances the capabilities of technical analysis, bringing a dynamic and comprehensive approach to identifying trends, support/resistance levels, and breakout signals across various indicators.
Session Breakout Scalper Trading BotHi Traders !
Introduction:
I have recently been exploring the world of automated algorithmic trading (as I prefer more objective trading strategies over subjective technical analysis (TA)) and would like to share one of my automation compatible (PineConnecter compatible) scripts “Session Breakout Scalper”.
The strategy is really simple and is based on time conditional breakouts although has more ”relatively” advanced optional features such as the regime indicators (Regime Filters) that attempt to filter out noise by adding more confluence states and the ATR multiple SL that takes into account volatility to mitigate the down side risk of the trade.
What is Algorthmic Trading:
Firstly what is algorithmic trading? Algorithmic trading also known as algo-trading, is a method of using computer programs (in this case pine script) to execute trades based on predetermined rules and instructions (this trading strategy). It's like having a robot trader who follows a strict set of commands to buy and sell assets automatically, without any human intervention.
Important Note:
For Algorithmic trading the strategy will require you having an essential TV subscription at the minimum (so that you can set alerts) plus a PineConnecter subscription (scroll down to the .”How does the strategy send signals” headings to read more)
The Strategy Explained:
Is the Time input true ? (this can be changed by toggling times under the “TRADE MEDIAN TIMES” group for user inputs).
Given the above is true the strategy waits x bars after the session and then calculates the highest high (HH) to lowest low (LL) range. For this box to form, the user defined amount of bars must print after the session. The box is symmetrical meaning the HH and LL are calculated over a lookback that is equal to the sum of user defined bars before and after the session (+ 1).
The Strategy then simultaneously defines the HH as the buy level (green line) and the LL as the sell level (red line). note the strategy will set stop orders at these levels respectively.
Enter a buy if price action crosses above the HH, and then cancel the sell order type (The opposite is true for a stop order).
If the momentum based regime filters are true the strategy will check for the regime / regimes to be true, if the regime if false the strategy will exit the current trade, as the regime filter has predicted a slowing / reversal of momentum.
The image below shows the strategy executing these trading rules ( Regime filters, "Trades on chart", "Signal & Label" and "Quantity" have been omitted. "Strategy label plots" has been switched to true)
Other Strategy Rules:
If a new session (time session which is user defined) is true (blue vertical line) and the strategy is currently still in a trade it will exit that trade immediately.
It is possible to also set a range of percentage gain per day that the strategy will try to acquire, if at any point the strategy’s profit is within the percentage range then the position / trade will be exited immediately (This can be changed in the “PERCENT DAY GAIN” group for user inputs)
Stops and Targets:
The strategy has either static (fixed) or variable SL options. TP however is only static. The “STRAT TP & TP” group of user inputs is responsible for the SL and TP values (quoted in pips). Note once the ATR stop is set to true the SL values in the above group no longer have any affect on the SL as expected.
What are the Regime Filters:
The Larry Williams Large Trade Index (LWLTI): The Larry Williams Large Trade Index (LWTI) is a momentum-based technical indicator developed by iconic trader Larry Williams. It identifies potential entries and exits for trades by gauging market sentiment, particularly the buying and selling pressure from large market players. Here's a breakdown of the LWTI:
LWLTI components and their interpretation:
Oscillator: It oscillates between 0 and 100, with 50 acting as the neutral line.
Sentiment Meter: Values above 75 suggest a bearish market dominated by large selling, while readings below 25 indicate a bullish market with strong buying from large players.
Trend Confirmation: Crossing above 75 during an uptrend and below 25 during a downtrend confirms the trend's continuation.
The Andean Oscillator (AO) : The Andean Oscillator is a trend and momentum based indicator designed to measure the degree of variations within individual uptrends and downtrends in the prices.
Regime Filter States:
In trading, a regime filter is a tool used to identify the current state or "regime" of the market.
These Regime filters are integrated within the trading strategy to attempt to lower risk (equity volatility and/or draw down). The regime filters have different states for each market order type (buy and sell). When the regime filters are set to true, if these regime states fail to be true the trade is exited immediately.
For Buy Trades:
LWLTI positive momentum state: Quotient of the lagged trailing difference and the ATR > 50
AO positive momentum state: Bull line > Bear line (signal line is omitted)
For Sell Trades:
LWLTI negative momentum stat: Quotient of the lagged trailing difference and the ATR < 50
AO negative momentum state: Bull line < Bear line (signal line is omitted)
How does the Strategy Send Signals:
The strategy triggers a TV alert (you will neet to set a alert first), TV then sends a HTTP request to the automation software (PineConnecter) which receives the request and then communicates to an MT4/5 EA to automate the trading strategy.
For the strategy to send signals you must have the following
At least a TV essential subscription

False Breakout (Expo)█ Overview
False Breakout (Expo) is an indicator that detects false breakouts in real-time. A false breakout occurs when the price moves through a certain level but doesn't continue to accelerate in that direction. This is because the price does not have enough momentum and the buying interest at this level is not high enough to keep pushing the price in that direction. Instead, the market reverses! All breakout traders are now forced to close their positions at a loss. However, contrarian traders that have identified this false breakout do get a perfect entry for a great reversal trade!
False Breakout is one of the most important price action trading patterns to learn because it can help traders understand whether a breakout is valid or false.

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.
Matze BreakoutShows 2 different states of breakout:
Arrow = unusual volume, raising volume, positiv rate of change, standard deviation breakout
Bolt = very unusual volume, very high standard deviation breakout
L1 Breakout IndicatorLevel: 1
Background
A breakout refers to when the price of an asset moves above a resistance area or below a support area. Breakouts indicate that the price may be trending in the direction of the breakout.
Function
L1 Breakout Indicator utilizes highest() and lowest() functions to define breakout levels. Use ema() to draw a trade line to detect the distance to breakout points. By doing that, you will know whether is overbought or oversold. Then, by applying a set of simple threshold inputs, you can locate the long and short entries points.
Key Signal

In real life, I am a prolific inventor. I have successfully applied for more than 60 international and regional patents in the past 12 years. But in the past two years or so, I have tried to transfer my creativity to the development of trading strategies. Tradingview is the ideal platform for me. I am selecting and contributing some of the hundreds of scripts to publish in Tradingview community. Welcome everyone to interact with me to discuss these interesting pine scripts.
The scripts posted are categorized into 5 levels according to my efforts or manhours put into these works.
Level 1 : interesting script snippets or distinctive improvement from classic indicators or strategy. Level 1 scripts can usually appear in more complex indicators as a function module or element.
Level 2 : composite indicator/strategy. By selecting or combining several independent or dependent functions or sub indicators in proper way, the composite script exhibits a resonance phenomenon which can filter out noise or fake trading signal to enhance trading confidence level.
Level 3 : comprehensive indicator/strategy. They are simple trading systems based on my strategies. They are commonly containing several or all of entry signal, close signal, stop loss, take profit, re-entry, risk management, and position sizing techniques. Even some interesting fundamental and mass psychological aspects are incorporated.
Level 4 : script snippets or functions that do not disclose source code. Interesting element that can reveal market laws and work as raw material for indicators and strategies. If you find Level 1~2 scripts are helpful, Level 4 is a private version that took me far more efforts to develop.
Level 5 : indicator/strategy that do not disclose source code. private version of Level 3 script with my accumulated script processing skills or a large number of custom functions. I had a private function library built in past two years. Level 5 scripts use many of them to achieve private trading strategy.
