B3 Level_Break
Usable on any style chart, B3_Level_Break is simply a breakout play off the highest high or lowest low of a period. What makes this script slightly different is that it looks forward and backward for the pivotal point. This line is then carried forward with time decay; they will either erase with time, or erase when crossed by price. So many traders young and old like to draw price level lines, and this indicator certainly helps the lazy person do this.
Hedge Fund firms and trading groups around the market use indicators like this one to bring awareness to the last time price failed to reach further. When these levels are approached again, the cloud-fill will highlight the break outs, but a firm trader isn't always trading the breakout. What a good trader will do is look at the Level 3 data and the Time & Sales to determine if the story of supply and demand is pointing to a breakout, or a reversal (like a double-top or double-bottom).
I have automated this strategy to some varying degrees of success, avoiding the range reversal trades. Like any trend finding indicator, a rangy day will be tough to find a good signal from it. However, if you find range with no breakouts in this indicator, an oscillator of your choosing would be appropriate to trade the reversals within the ranges.
On a NQ1! 5m chart I have been using a length of anywhere from 7 to 16, (higher length gets you out of noise). The higher in interval you go, the less length you likely need. I have been looking at Stochastic turns at OVB OVS in combination with stocks breaking out on this indicator length set to 3 with interval Day or 4-6hr charts. Its a good catch for fading an earnings dip or bump after the call, or simply a confirming entry on the old school stochastic swing trade.
It has been some time since I have made a post. I will continue to post anything I find useful. It's best in the market to find things that work and stick with them, so it should make sense that I don't post as often. Enjoy !! :)
