Fractal Breakout Strategy (by ChartArt)This long only strategy determines the price of the last fractal top and enters a trade when the price breaks above the last fractal top. The strategy also calculates the average price of the last fractal tops to get the trend direction. The strategy exits the long trade, when the average of the fractal tops is falling (when the trend is lower highs as measured by fractals). And the user can manually set a time delay of this exit condition. The default setting is a long strategy exit always 3 bars after the long entry condition appeared.
In addition as gimmicks the fractals tops can be highlighted (the default is blue) and a line can be drawn based on the fractal tops.This fractal top line is colored by the fractal top average trend in combination with the fractal breakout condition.
This strategy works better on higher time-frames (weekly and monthly), but it also works on the daily and some other time-frames. This strategy does not repaint, no repainting.
P.S. I thank Tradingview user barracuda who helped me with the time based exit condition code. And user RicardoSantos for coding the definition of the fractal top, which he uses in his " Fractals" scripts.
All trading involves high risk; past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.

[JR] Multi Bollinger Heat Bands - EMA/Breakout optionsA little, yet hopefully useful update over my previous "Multi Bollinger Heat Bands". For those who like quick visual cue's.
In short: It's your Basic Bollinger Bands, but 3 of them, and some pointy things.
In full:
Three stacked SMA based Bollinger Bands designed just to give you a quick visual on the "heat" of movement.
Set inner band as you would expect, then set your preferred additional multiplier increments for the outer 2 bands.
Option to use EMA as alternative basis, rather than SMA.
Breakout indication shapes, which have their own multiplier (but still tied to same length/period as the BB's) so you can make them pop on their own separate "band".

ATR Squeeze BackgroundThis simple but powerful indicator shades the background of your chart whenever volatility contracts, based on a custom comparison of fast and slow ATR (Average True Range) periods.
By visualizing low-volatility zones, you can:
* Identify moments of compression that may precede explosive price moves
* Stay out of choppy, low-momentum periods
* Adapt this as a component in a broader volatility or breakout strategy
🔧 How It Works
* A Fast ATR (default: 7 periods) and a Slow ATR (default: 40 periods) are calculated
* When the Fast ATR is lower than the Slow ATR, the background is shaded in blue
* This shading signals a contraction in volatility — a condition often seen before breakouts or strong directional moves
⚡️ Why This Matters
Many experienced traders pay close attention to volatility cycles. This background indicator helps visualize those cycles at a glance. It's minimal, non-intrusive, and easy to combine with your existing tools.

Breakout Confirmation🔍 Indicator Name: Breakout Confirmation (Body + Volume)
📌 Purpose:
This indicator is designed to detect high-probability breakout setups based on price structure and volume strength. It identifies moments when the market breaks through a key support or resistance level, confirmed by two consecutive strong candles with large real bodies and high volume.
⚙️ How It Works
1. Support and Resistance Detection
The indicator uses pivot points to identify potential horizontal support and resistance levels.
A pivot high or pivot low is considered valid if it stands out over a configurable number of candles (default: 50).
Only the most recent valid support and resistance levels are tracked and displayed as horizontal lines on the chart.
2. Breakout Setup
The breakout condition is defined as:
First Candle (Breakout Candle):
Large body (compared to the recent body average)
High volume (compared to the recent volume average)
Must close beyond a resistance or support level:
Close above resistance (bullish breakout)
Close below support (bearish breakout)
Second Candle (Confirmation Candle):
Also must have a large body and high volume
Must continue in the direction of the breakout (i.e., higher close in bullish breakouts, lower close in bearish ones)
3. Signal Plotting
If both candles meet the criteria, the indicator plots:
A green triangle below the candle for bullish breakouts
A red triangle above the candle for bearish breakouts
📈 How to Interpret the Signals
✅ Green triangle below a candle:
Indicates a confirmed bullish breakout.
The price has closed above a recent resistance level with strength.
The trend may continue higher — possible entry for long positions.
🔻 Red triangle above a candle:
Indicates a confirmed bearish breakout.
The price has closed below a recent support level with strength.
Potential signal to enter short or exit long positions.
⚠️ The plotted horizontal lines show the last key support and resistance levels. These are the zones being monitored for breakouts.
📊 How to Use It
Timeframe: Works best on higher timeframes (1H, 4H, Daily), but can be tested on any chart.
Entry: Consider entries after the second candle confirms the breakout.
Stop Loss:
For longs: Below the breakout candle or the broken resistance
For shorts: Above the breakout candle or broken support
Take Profit:
Based on previous structure, risk:reward ratios, or using trailing stops.
Filter with Trend or Other Indicators (optional):
You can combine this with moving averages, RSI, or market structure for confluence.

Breakout & Distribution DetectorHow the Script Works:
1. Bollinger Bands:
• The upper and lower Bollinger Bands are used to detect volatility and potential breakouts. When the price closes above the upper band, it’s considered a bullish breakout. When the price closes below the lower band, it’s a bearish breakout.
2. RSI (Relative Strength Index):
• The RSI is used for momentum confirmation. A bullish breakout is confirmed if the RSI is above 50, and a bearish breakout is confirmed if the RSI is below 50.
• If the RSI enters overbought (above 70) or oversold (below 30) levels, it signals a distribution phase, indicating the market may be ready to reverse or consolidate.
3. Moving Average:
• A simple moving average (SMA) of 20 periods is used to ensure we’re trading in the direction of the trend. Breakouts above the upper Bollinger Band are valid if the price is above the SMA, while breakouts below the lower Bollinger Band are valid if the price is below the SMA.
4. Signals and Alerts:
• BUY Signal: A green “BUY” label appears below the candle if a bullish breakout is detected.
• SELL Signal: A red “SELL” label appears above the candle if a bearish breakout is detected.
• Distribution Phase: The background turns purple if the market enters a distribution phase (RSI in overbought or oversold territory).
• Alerts: You can set alerts based on these conditions to get notifications for breakouts or when the market enters a distribution phase.
Breakout Signals This indicator is a Pine Script tool for identifying potential trading opportunities using breakout signals. It provides two distinct types of breakout alerts and calculates a potential price target for one of them.
### Breakout Signal Types
* **Lowest Low Breakout:** This signal is triggered when the current bar closes above the high of the previous bar, and that previous bar had the lowest low within a user-defined lookback period. This indicates a potential bullish reversal after a short-term downtrend.
* **Highest High Breakout:** This signal occurs when the current bar's close price exceeds the highest high recorded within a specified lookback period. This pattern suggests strong bullish momentum and a potential continuation of an uptrend.
### Visuals and Alerts
The indicator helps visualize these signals on the chart by highlighting the background of entry candles. It uses a light green background for the Lowest Low Breakout and a light yellow for the Highest High Breakout. A table is displayed on the chart to show the details of the most recent Lowest Low Breakout and its calculated target. Additionally, it provides an alert feature to notify users in real time when either of the breakout conditions is met.
Breakout Detection using EMAs and Mansfield Relative StrengthThis script identifies breakout opportunities based on a combination of price action, volume, and relative strength. It is designed for daily timeframe charts and helps traders pinpoint strong bullish setups with the following criteria:
Price Action: Stock price is above both the 10-day EMA and 5-week EMA.
EMA Trends: The 10-day EMA is above the 20-day EMA, and the 5-week EMA is above the 10-week EMA, confirming bullish momentum.
Customizable Parameters: Customize the index for the Mansfield Relative Strength, the volume multiplier, and the price breakout look-back period.
Price Breakout: The price is at a 3-month high, indicating strength.
Volume Breakout: A volume spike occurs, surpassing the 20-day average volume by a user-defined multiplier.
Features:
Generates clear breakout signals with a green triangle below the bar.
Integrated Mansfield Relative Strength for relative performance analysis.
Alerts for when all conditions are met, ensuring you never miss an opportunity.
How to Use:
Add this script to a daily chart of your chosen stock.
Look for green triangle signals indicating a potential breakout.
Adjust the parameters to suit your trading strategy and preferred index for the Mansfield Relative Strength.
This tool is ideal for swing traders looking to combine technical analysis with relative strength metrics for high-conviction bullish setups.

Dynamic Support and Resistance Lines: Automatically plots the highest and lowest price levels from 9:30 am to 9:35 am, providing essential support and resistance zones.
Breakout/Breakdown Detection: Identifies and marks successful breakout and breakdown points only after a confirmed retest, ensuring more accurate signals.
Visual Markers: Uses customizable green diamonds for successful breakouts and red diamonds for successful breakdowns, allowing easy identification on the chart.
Customization Options:
Change Colors: You can personalize the color of the breakout and breakdown markers, the label text, and the lines drawn from the 9:30 am to 9:35 am window.
Adapt to Your Chart: Adjust the indicator to match your preferred charting theme, ensuring it blends seamlessly with your trading setup.
How It Works:
Plots Key Levels: Identifies the highest and lowest prices during the first 5 minutes of trading (9:30 am to 9:35 am) and plots them on the chart.
Monitors Retests: Waits for a retest of these levels before confirming a breakout or breakdown.
Labels Breakouts/Breakdowns: After a retest, successful breakouts are marked with green diamonds and "Breakout" text, while breakdowns are marked with red diamonds and "Breakdown" text.
Why Use This Indicator?
Avoid False Signals: The retest requirement helps filter out false breakouts and breakdowns, offering more reliable trading signals.
Works Across Timeframes: Suitable for both 1-minute and 5-minute charts, allowing flexibility for different trading styles.
Some what Customizable: Adjust colors to fit your charting preferences and enhance visual clarity.
Recommended Use: Combine this indicator with other technical analysis tools, such as volume, candlestick patterns, or moving averages, for more informed trading decisions.
Breakout asia USD/CHF1 — Customizable Parameters
sess1 & sess2: The two time ranges that define the Asian session (e.g., 20:00–23:59 and 00:00–08:00).
Important: format is HHMM-HHMM.
rr: The risk/reward ratio (default = 3.0, meaning TP = 3× risk size).
onePerSess: Toggle to allow only one trade per Asian session or multiple.
bufTicks: Extra margin for the SL beyond the signal candle.
2 — Detecting the Asian Session
The script checks if the candle’s time is inside the first range (sess1) or inside the second range (sess2).
While inside the Asian session, it updates the current high and low.
When the session ends, it locks in these levels as rangeHigh and rangeLow.
3 — Step 1: Detecting the Initial Breakout
Bullish breakout → close above rangeHigh → flag breakoutUp is set to true.
Bearish breakout → close below rangeLow → flag breakoutDown is set to true.
No trade yet — this is just the breakout signal.
4 — Step 2: Waiting for the Retest
If a bullish breakout occurred, wait for the price to return to or slightly below rangeHigh and then close back above it.
If a bearish breakout occurred, wait for the price to return to or slightly above rangeLow and then close back below it.
5 — Entry & Exit
When the retest is confirmed:
strategy.entry() is triggered.
SL = behind the retest confirmation candle (with optional bufTicks margin).
TP = entry price ± RR × risk size.
If onePerSess is enabled, no further trades happen until the next Asian session.
6 — Chart Display
Green line = locked Asian session high.
Red line = locked Asian session low.
Light blue background = active Asian session hours.
Trade entries are shown on the chart when retests occur.
Breakout + Retest StrategyThe Breakout + Retest Strategy is a proven price action approach used by professional traders to catch high-probability market moves after key levels are broken. This strategy aims to enter the market after confirmation — reducing false breakouts and improving entry accuracy.
🔍 Strategy Logic:
Identify a Key Support or Resistance Level
These could be recent swing highs/lows, consolidation zones, or session highs.
Wait for a Clean Breakout
Price must decisively break above resistance or below support with strong momentum.
Watch for the Retest
After the breakout, wait for the price to pull back to the broken level (now flipped support/resistance).
Enter on Retest Confirmation
Look for signs like rejection wicks, bullish/bearish engulfing candles, or strong volume on the retest.
Set Risk-Managed Stops and Targets
Stop loss goes below (for long) or above (for short) the retested level.
Target is usually set at a 1:2 or higher risk-to-reward ratio, or based on structure.
✅ Why It Works:
Filters out fake breakouts
Uses market structure and liquidity traps to your advantage
Combines both momentum and confirmation
⚙️ Best Timeframes:
15-minute to 1-hour for intraday setups
4-hour and daily for swing trades
📊 Ideal for:
Futures (NQ, ES, Gold)
Forex pairs
Crypto
Stocks near key earnings or breakout zones
Breakout Swing High LowThis open-source indicator identifies swing high and swing low breakouts, providing clear visual signals for potential trend entries. It is designed for traders who use price action to spot breakout opportunities in trending markets.
How It Works
Swing Detection: The indicator uses a user-defined lookback period (default: 4 candles) to identify swing highs (peaks) and swing lows (troughs). A swing high is confirmed when a candle's high is higher than the surrounding candles, and a swing low is confirmed when a candle's low is lower.
Breakout Signals: A green triangle below the candle signals a breakout above the most recent swing high, indicating a potential buy opportunity. A red triangle above the candle signals a breakout below the most recent swing low, indicating a potential sell opportunity. Each swing level triggers only one breakout signal to avoid clutter.
Visualization: Swing high levels are drawn as green dashed lines, and swing low levels as red dashed lines, extending 15 candles for clarity. Breakout signals are marked with small triangles.
How to Use
Apply the Indicator: Add the indicator to your TradingView chart.
Adjust Lookback: Set the "Lookback Candles" input (default: 4) to control the sensitivity of swing detection. Smaller values detect shorter-term swings, while larger values identify more significant levels.
Interpret Signals:
Green triangle (below candle): Consider a buy opportunity when price breaks above a swing high.
Red triangle (above candle): Consider a sell opportunity when price breaks below a swing low.
Combine with Other Tools: Use in conjunction with trend indicators (e.g., 50-period EMA) or support/resistance levels to filter signals in trending markets.
Timeframes: Works best on higher timeframes (e.g., 1H, 4H) in trending markets to avoid false breakouts in sideways conditions.
Breakout: HHHL & LLHL + Close ConditionWhat This Script Does:
Green triangle below the bar = Bullish breakout (Higher High + Higher Low + Close > Previous High)
Red triangle above the bar = Bearish breakdown (Lower High + Lower Low + Close < Previous Low)
Breakout mode patterns [yohtza]This indicator detects three kinds of price action patterns:
ii - consecutive inside bars ( high and low inside of the previous bar), triangle on a lower timeframe
oo - consecutive outside bars ( high above the high of the previous bar and the low below the low of the previous bar), expanding triangle on a lower timeframe
ioi - inside outside inside, diamond pattern on a lower timeframe
Traders that trade these patterns are entering on breakouts above/below .When they appear in a trending market, they are good setups for both continuation and reversal swing trades. When they appear in ranging market, they are not nearly as powerful since most breakouts fail in this context. To achieve the highest probability, it is best to trade in the direction of the trend on the last bar in the pattern with a stop loss on the other side and going for a reward that is at least twice the risk.
