Multi Year BreakoutWhat the Script Does (Simple Summary)
Name: It's called "Multi Year Breakout" (or MYBO for short) and shows up right on your main price chart.
Settings You Control: You can easily change settings like:
How many months or years back the script should look to find the important old highest price and lowest price.
How many months back it should look for the recent highest price.
Whether you want to see the lines drawn on the chart for these highs and lows.
The color, thickness, and style (solid, dashed, dotted) of the lines.
An optional info box showing the price levels, where it appears, and the text size.
What it Calculates: It finds the exact price for the highest high in the "older" period you set, the highest high in the "recent" period, and the lowest low in the "older" period.
What it Draws:
It draws horizontal lines on your chart at these key price levels. Think of the high lines (Fuchsia for older, Orange for recent) as price ceilings (resistance).
It draws small triangle arrows below the price bars when a potential breakout happens.
The Breakout Signal:
It checks if today's closing price moved above the highest ceiling (either the older Fuchsia line or the recent Orange line, whichever was higher yesterday).
If it did, you get an arrow:
Fuchsia Arrow: Price broke above the older high ceiling (often more important).
Orange Arrow: Price broke above the recent high ceiling.
Alerts:
The script creates alert conditions. If you want a notification (popup, email, etc.), you MUST manually create an alert in TradingView's alert menu, choosing this script and selecting either the "Fuchsia Breakout" or "Orange Breakout" condition.
Best Way to Use It (Simple Guide)
Goal: Use this script to help find stocks that are breaking through significant past price ceilings. This might signal the start of a new upward move.
Best Charts: Works best on Daily or Weekly charts to see the bigger picture price action over months and years.
Setup:
Add the script to your preferred chart.
Adjust the settings (gear icon ⚙️) to define your "older" and "recent" periods (e.g., 60 months back for the older start, 12 months back for the older end / recent end).
Choose which lines you want to see (usually the Fuchsia and Orange high lines are most useful).
Reading the Chart:
Fuchsia Line: A major price level that stopped the price going higher in the more distant past. Breaking this is often significant.
Orange Line: The highest price reached more recently. Breaking this shows current momentum.
Arrows: An arrow appears when the price closes above the relevant high line (based on yesterday's level). The color tells you if it cleared the older (Fuchsia) or recent (Orange) hurdle.
Very Important - Use Other Tools Too! Don't trade based only on an arrow. Always look for extra confirmation:
Volume: Was there a lot more trading activity than usual on the breakout day? (High volume is a good sign).
Chart Pattern: Was the stock building up energy in a pattern before breaking out?
Market Direction: Is the overall stock market also looking positive?
Set Up Alerts (If Wanted): If you want TradingView to notify you, go to the 'Alert' menu, select this script (MYBO), choose the "Fuchsia Breakout" or "Orange Breakout" condition, and set how you want to be notified.
Manage Risk: Sometimes breakouts look good but then fail. Always decide before you trade how much you're willing to risk and where you'll exit if the price falls back down (use a stop-loss).
Think of this script as a signal that says "Hey, look at this stock, it just cleared an important level!". It's your cue to investigate further using other analysis before making any trading decisions.
Breakoutsignal
NR4 & NR7 with Breakouts [LuxAlgo]NR4 & NR7 with Breakouts is a simple indicator that utilizes the NR4 and NR7 candle patterns to display candle ranges and signals from range breakouts.
🔶 USAGE
The Narrow Range Patterns are candle formations determined by the last candle having a narrower (high-low) range than the previous number. This indicator showcases the 2 most recognized Narrow Range Patterns, which are the 4 and 7 bar variants (NR4 and NR7).
These patterns, introduced by Toby Crabel, are thought to provide insight for potential market breakouts by identifying periods of low volatility indicated by a candle with a small range. This is due to the idea that markets often move from periods of low volatility (contraction) to high volatility (expansion), and the NR4 and NR7 patterns help spot these transitions.
By utilizing these patterns, traders are better able to anticipate and respond to market shifts for better decision-making and risk management.
NOTE: These patterns have traditionally been studied on the Daily Timeframe Chart. This indicator allows the user to select a timeframe to generate these patterns from. It is suggested to be mindful of this when considering these patterns.
In this indicator, on the bar after the pattern is detected, the Narrow Range Bar will be highlighted with a zone, and lines displaying the range will extend from it. These ranges are helpful for providing levels to set limit orders and for managing risk.
Users are able to adjust which pattern they want visualized on their chart, please note;
All NR7s are NR4s but not all NR4s are NR7s.
Because of this, you will notice that when selecting "NR4" to display, the colors will change, but the detected ranges will not change.
🔹 Signals
When a Narrow Range Bar is detected, the script will wait for the price to close outside of the Range, then a signal will fire indicating the direction of exit. The signals are produced from the last NR4 or NR7 and will have the potential to fire from that range until a new NR4 or NR7 is detected.
After a signal fires, the logic goes into a "reset" period where it will wait for the price to reach the Range Mean before firing another signal.
These signals can be anticipated by considering the underlying logic and watching price approach the range extremities, and can be improved by utilizing other market information for confluence.
🔶 SETTINGS
Timeframe: Choose which timeframe to identify the NR4 and NR7 Pattern on. This must be Higher than the chart timeframe.
Pattern Type: Choose which (or all) patterns to display.
Trend Trading IndicatorThis trend trading indicator uses multiple different custom formulas to identify market trends as well as identify when the market is moving sideways. It has a master trend that will show you the trend using the color of the candles and then there are multiple different types of entry and confluence signals that will appear as different chart shapes above or below the candles to inform you about when to enter a trade and how strong the trend is so you know whether to hold a position longer or get out. There is also a panel at the bottom of the chart that shows you the trend strength for 5 different timeframes so you can easily identify the short and long term trends and scan through charts quickly to find markets with the strongest trends.
The indicator can be customized to fit your trading style by adjusting the timeframes for the master trend, which timeframes affect signals, turning on or off the various entry & confluence signals, turning on or off ranging market filters and more. It can be adjusted to react quickly for intraday trading or use long timeframes for swing trading or only trading when the market is in a strong long term trend.
The indicator also has a built in trend direction value that can be sent to other indicators to be used as a trend filter as well by setting the source value on an external indicator to use the trend direction value from this indicator. This is useful for preventing signals from coming in on other indicators when they go against the trend that this indicator has identified according to the settings it is configured with.
How To Use This Indicator Properly
This indicator is designed to only give signals when the market is trending and filter out the sideways price action for you. Due to this, depending on the timeframe settings you use, there may be extended periods where there are no signals because the market is going sideways. You can adjust your timeframe settings to react faster or slower by lowering the timeframes used and turning off some of the higher timeframes or use all of the timeframes available and only get signals when the market is in a strong long term trend for the safest trades.
The indicator uses a master trend that needs to show a trend before any other confluence signals can come in. The master trend will show up by coloring the candles blue when the trend is bullish or orange when the trend is bearish according to the settings you have chosen. When the market is not trending, the candles will be colored grey. This helps to keep you out of trades when the market is going sideways. You will only be able to see the master trend by using the colored candles though, so make sure to turn the chart’s candle coloring off so it doesn’t override the indicator candle coloring.
Once a trend has been established, then other signals will begin to show up if the trend is strong and various parameters are met. The indicator includes the following types of signals:
Master Trend Signals
Strong Trend Buy & Sell Signals
Pullback During Strong Trend Signals
Strong All Timeframe Trend Signals
Trend Strength Score Signals
The indicator also has multiple filters you can use to customize the master trend to allow more or less signals to come in. The more filters you have on, the better and more likely the signals are to be winners because it will only give signals when there are very strong trends on all timeframes. If you want a lot of signals for intraday scalping, you can turn off most of the filters and just use lower timeframes for the master trend settings. The following filters can be used to customize the trend parameters:
Signals Only Allowed In Direction Of Timeframes 4 & 5
Trend Of Timeframe #1 Used For Master Trend Signals
Trend Of Timeframe #2 Used For Master Trend Signals
Trend Of Timeframe #3 Used For Master Trend Signals
Trend Of Timeframe #4 Used For Master Trend Signals
Trend Of Timeframe #5 Used For Master Trend Signals
No Master Trend Signals If This Timeframe Is Ranging - #1
No Master Trend Signals If This Timeframe Is Ranging - #2
No Master Trend Signals If This Timeframe Is Ranging - #3
Make sure to keep all trend timeframes in order from 1-5 for best results, even if they are turned off. The indicator is programmed to compare each timeframe to the next one, so keeping the timeframes in order will give you proper calculations. For example: timeframes 1-5 should be 15, 60, 240, 1D, 1W or 240, 1D, 1W, 1M, 3M and so on.
The indicator has alerts for bullish and bearish versions of each type of signal so you can get notified when a chart is trending strongly.
Market Hours Available To Use The Indicator On
The indicator works on stocks, crypto, forex and futures markets and other markets that have the same hours, you just need to select the hours that the market you are trading has in the main indicator settings to get the correct signals. There are options for stock hours(6.5 hours a day, 5 days per week), futures/forex hours(23 hours a day, 5 days per week) and crypto hours(24 hours a day, 7 days per week). Just select the correct option in the dropdown menu and the indicator will calculate based on those hours.
Master Trend Settings
The master trend is calculated using Timeframes 1-5, the setting for whether to use timeframes 1-5 for signals, ranging market filters 1-3 and only allow signals in the direction of timeframes 4 & 5. These settings will affect how the overall trend is calculated, which has to be trending in order for any confluence signals to come in.
Set timeframe 1 to a higher timeframe than your chart is set to. For example if you trade the 1 minute or 5 minute chart, timeframe #1 needs to be set to something higher than your chart so 15, 60 or 240. Then set timeframes 2-5 to be one timeframe higher than the previous one. So if timeframe 1 is 60, then timeframe 2 should be 240 and so on. Make sure to do this even if you do not turn on each timeframe to be used for master trend signals as the higher timeframes will still affect the confluence signals.
Turn on or off the toggle for each timeframe if you want the master trend to use. Keeping just lower timeframes on will give more signals for short term trends and leaving all of the timeframes on will only give signals when all of the timeframes are trending. I recommend keeping timeframes 1 & 2 on at the very least and then turning on or off timeframes 3-5 based on how many signals you want and how strong you want the trend to be in order for signals to be given.
Ranging Market Filters
The indicator has parameters to detect if the market is ranging or moving sideways on each timeframe and will show this by coloring the trend strength score in the bottom panel grey for that timeframe. When the market is ranging, it is best to not trade because there is no established trend. Use these filters to increase the probability of the master trend and confluence trend signals being correct and moving in the direction of the trend.
If you turn on the ranging market filters, you will not get any signals if the market is detected as ranging on any of the timeframes you have turned on for the ranging market filters.
You can use 1, 2 or all 3 ranging market filters to dial in the indicator to your preference. Make sure to backtest it and look at historical data to see how this will affect the indicator and choose what settings work best for your style of trading.
Signals Only Allowed In Direction Of Timeframes 4 & 5
If you only want to make sure you are trading in the direction of the long term trend, turn this setting on. It will prevent the indicator from giving any signals that are not in the same direction as the long term trends and increase your probability for winning trades.
This setting allows you to quickly filter out any noise that you will get from lower timeframe trends that are not in the same direction as the long term trends and helps to ensure you stick to the overall trend. Markets will usually make much faster and larger moves in the direction of the overall trend and have high resistance, choppy moves when going in the opposite direction, so this will help you avoid getting into those trades even if you don’t have timeframes 4 & 5 turned on in the master trend timeframe settings.
Strong Buy & Sell Signals
When the master trend detects a trending market and the trend is strong on all 5 timeframes, the indicator will show crosses on the chart meaning these are great entry points to get into the market with positions in the direction of the trend. There are 3 levels of these signals and will show as small crosses, medium crosses and large crosses. The larger the cross is, the stronger the trend is and is more likely to continue the trend.
Use these strong buy & sell signal crosses as entry points and place your stop loss at the most recent major pivot. Then trail your stop loss with the trade to lock in profits.
Pullbacks During Strong Trend Signals
When there is a strong trend on timeframes 3-5 and a pullback on timeframes 1 & 2, then move back in the direction of the higher timeframe trend, this will fire a signal to enter a trade in the direction of the trend. These are excellent entries since the market has pulled back, allowing you to have a good entry with low potential drawdown.
These signals will appear as label tag or price tag looking signals. Use these for your entries and then place a stop loss just beyond the most recent major pivot and trail your stop loss as the trade moves in your favor to lock in profits.
Strong All Timeframe Trend Signals
When the trend is strong on all timeframes that you have set to use for master trend signals, the indicator will show circles/dots on the chart above or below the candles. There is also a second type of strong trend calculation that it uses that will detect a strong trend in a slightly different way and that formula will paint a background color on the chart as extra confluence. When the background color and dots show up at the same time, that means both formulas are showing strong trends.
Use these dots and background coloring to confirm your position and continue to hold it for more gains. Strong trends typically continue in the same direction so use these signals as extra confluence to hold your position and stay in the trade.
Trend Strength Score Signals
Each timeframe will have a trend strength score calculated. If you turn the visuals on in the master trend timeframe settings, they will show up as an oscillator in the bottom panel. It will show red for bearish trends and green for bullish trends and grey when the market is ranging. It will also show a label next to each timeframe telling you the score out of the maximum score for that timeframe.
Pay attention to these as they will give you a very quick way to read the long term and short term trends. When all timeframes are trending strongly, the background will paint red or green to notify you of strong trends that you can trade.
When the long term trends agree, but short term trends are going against the long term, look for the short term trends to reverse and use those areas as entry positions for longer trades in the direction of the overall trend. Doing this really helps to identify possible reversals and keep you from getting into those types of trades too early.
Timeframes The Indicator Can Be Used On
The indicator is setup to be used on the following chart timeframes: 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minute, 3 minute, 5 minute, 10 minute, 15 minute, 30 minute, 1 hour, 2 hour, 4 hour, 6 hour, 8 hour, 12 hour and 1 day charts.
If your chart is set to a different timeframe than the ones listed above, it will not calculate properly, so make sure your chart is on the correct timeframe.
Markets The Indicator Can Be Used On
The indicator has 3 modes for various market hours. The type of market doesn’t matter, what matters is how many hours that market is open for. Almost all markets fall under 3 types of opening hours so we have provided the ability for the indicator to calculate correctly on all 3 types of market hours. The hours it can use are: stocks(6.5 hours per day, 5 days per week), crypto(24 hours per day, 7 days per week) and futures/forex(23 hours per day, 5 days per week).
You will need to update this setting from the dropdown at the top of the indicator settings to match the chart that you are on for it to calculate correctly.
Filtering Other Indicators Using The Trend Direction Of This Indicator
The indicator has a built in trend direction value that can be sent to other indicators and used as a filter. By setting an input.source() value on other indicators that are on the same chart as this indicator, you can set that indicator to do or not do whatever you want when this trend indicator shows a trend or not.
The name of the source you can use on your external indicator is called Trend Direction To Send To External Indicators. The values it sends are as follows: 0 when there is no master trend direction, 1 when the master trend is bullish and -1 when the master trend is bearish.
By using this source, you can prevent other indicators from giving sell signals during up trends, prevent other indicators from giving buy signals during down trends and prevent other indicators from giving any signals when the market is ranging or not showing an established trend.
Alerts Available To Use
The indicator has alerts for bullish versions as well as bearish versions of each type of signal available. Use these alerts to notify you of strong trends on markets that you may not have the charts up for at all times but still want to trade.

It helps traders spot momentum shifts by focusing on price behavior relative to the closing range, with customizable alerts for confirmed breakouts.
How to Use:
Select Session: Choose your market's closing hour (e.g., New York/London).
Set Confirmation: Adjust how many closes are needed to confirm a breakout.
Watch Visuals:
Gray background = Active closing session
Blue range = Extended high/low from last session

Focus on breakouts with momentum, using the range as support/resistance.
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.
Custom Previous High/Low + Breakout AlertsThis indicator plots the previous high and low of the selected timeframe and alerts you when the price breaks either level.
To prevent spam, it triggers only once per period. If both the high and low break within the same period, you will receive an alert for each, but no duplicates if price hovers around these levels.
How to Set Up Alerts
1. Choose Your Timeframe
- In the indicator settings, select the timeframe for the high/low reference.
- Example: If you select 1 hour, the indicator will plot the previous 1-hour high and low and alert you when either level is broken
2. Create an Alert
- Condition → High/Low Break Alerts
- Function → Any alert() function call
Optional:
- If you want alerts only for high breakouts or low breakouts, select High Breakout or Low Breakout and use "Once Per Bar" as the trigger. (It will still alert only once per period.)
3. Setting Alerts for Multiple Timeframes
- If you want to create another alert for a different timeframe, first select the new timeframe in the indicator settings, then create a new alert
- Note: Previous alerts will continue to notify you based on the timeframe they were originally set for, even if you change the timeframe in the indicator settings.
Breakouts with timefilter [LuciTech]Here's the updated description with "colors" replaced by "colours" throughout, maintaining the original structure and content:
Breaking Point 2.0
This is a technical analysis overlay indicator designed to identify breakout levels based on pivot highs and lows, with a focus on price action during customizable time windows using London time (UK). It draws horizontal lines at pivot points and plots signals when price breaks above or below these levels, offering traders a tool to monitor potential bullish or bearish movements. The indicator includes options for time filtering and displaying only the most recent breakout.
Features
The Pivot Breakout Lines display horizontal lines at detected pivot highs (bullish) and pivot lows (bearish), coloured green and red by default. These lines extend from the pivot point to the breakout bar and can be set to show only the latest breakout.
The Breakout Signals mark bullish breakouts with an upward triangle below the bar and bearish breakouts with a downward triangle above the bar, using customizable colours.
The Time Filter restricts signals and lines to a specific window (default: 14:30–15:00 UK), which can be toggled on or off. A shaded background highlights this period when enabled.
How It Works
The indicator calculates pivot highs and lows using a user-defined lookback period (default: 5 bars). When price closes above a pivot high, it triggers a bullish signal and draws a line from the pivot to the breakout bar. When price closes below a pivot low, it triggers a bearish signal with a corresponding line.
If the time filter is active, signals and lines only appear within the specified window. Outside this period—or if the filter is disabled—they appear based solely on price action. The indicator maintains up to three recent pivots in memory, removing older ones as new pivots form.
Alerts are available for both bullish and bearish breakouts, triggered when signals occur.
Settings
Length controls the lookback period for pivot detection (default: 5).
Colours Bull/Bear sets the colours for bullish (default: green) and bearish (default: red) lines and signals.
Show Last Breakout toggles whether only the most recent breakout line and signal are displayed (default: false).
Time Filter enables or disables the time restriction (default: true).
Fill Background toggles a shaded area during the time window (default: true), with a customizable colour.
Time Settings define the start hour/minute and end hour/minute for the filter (default: 14:30–15:00).
Interpretation
The Pivot Breakout Lines highlight levels where price has previously reversed, potentially acting as support or resistance. A breakout above a pivot high may suggest bullish momentum, while a breakout below a pivot low may indicate bearish pressure.
The Breakout Signals provide visual cues for these events, useful for timing entries or exits. When "Show Last Breakout" is enabled, the chart focuses on the most recent signal, reducing clutter.
The Time Filter and background shading help traders concentrate on specific trading sessions, such as high-volatility periods. When disabled, the indicator tracks breakouts across all times.
RSI Volatility Suppression Zones [BigBeluga]RSI Volatility Suppression Zones is an advanced indicator that identifies periods of suppressed RSI volatility and visualizes these suppression zones on the main chart. It also highlights breakout dynamics, giving traders actionable insights into potential market momentum.
🔵 Key Features:
Detection of Suppression Zones:
Identifies periods where RSI volatility is suppressed and marks these zones on the main price chart.
Breakout Visualization:
When the price breaks above the suppression zone, the box turns aqua, and an upward label is drawn to indicate a bullish breakout.
If the price breaks below the zone, the box turns purple, and a downward label is drawn for a bearish breakout.
Breakouts accompanied by a "+" label represent strong moves caused by short-lived, tight zones, signaling significant momentum.
Wave Labels for Consolidation:
If the suppression zone remains unbroken, a "wave" label is displayed within the gray box, signifying continued price stability within the range.
Gradient Intensity Below RSI:
A gradient strip below the RSI line increases in intensity based on the duration of the suppressed RSI volatility period.
This visual aid helps traders gauge how extended the low volatility phase is.
🔵 Usage:
Identify Breakouts: Use color-coded boxes and labels to detect breakouts and their direction, confirming potential trend continuation or reversals.
Evaluate Market Momentum: Leverage "+" labels for strong breakout signals caused by short suppression phases, indicating significant market moves.
Monitor Price Consolidation: Observe gray boxes and wave labels to understand ongoing consolidation phases.
Analyze RSI Behavior: Utilize the gradient strip to measure the longevity of suppressed volatility phases and anticipate breakout potential.
RSI Volatility Suppression Zones provides a powerful visual representation of RSI volatility suppression, breakout signals, and price consolidation, making it a must-have tool for traders seeking to anticipate market movements effectively.
The Curved Market Structure [BigBeluga]Curved Market Structure
The Curved Market Structure indicator offers an innovative twist on traditional market structure tools by using curved lines instead of horizontal ones, enabling faster breakout detection for traders.
🔵Key Features:
Curved Market Structure Levels: The indicator identifies high and low pivots and plots curved lines connecting these points, adapting to market dynamics and providing a more intuitive view of potential breakout zones.
Breakout Detection: Breakouts above or below the curved levels are marked with triangle symbols (▲ or ▼), making it easy to spot critical price movements.
Dynamic Target Levels: After a breakout, the indicator plots three target levels, which serve as potential price objectives. Each target is marked with a number and a star (e.g., 1★) upon being reached.
Customizable Line Length and Angle: Users can adjust the length and angle of the curved lines to fit their trading style and timeframe, making the tool versatile and adaptable.
Market Structure Trend Filtering: To maintain a clean chart, the indicator plots curved levels only from high pivots during uptrends and low pivots during downtrends.
🔵How It Works:
The indicator identifies high and low pivots using user-defined parameters (left and right bars).
Curved lines are drawn from these pivot points, showing the structure of the market and potential breakout zones.
When a breakout occurs, the indicator highlights the direction with triangle symbols and dynamically plots three price targets.
Upon reaching these targets, the level is marked with its respective number and a star, helping traders track price progression effectively.
The lines and targets are adjusted based on market conditions, ensuring real-time relevance and accuracy.
🔵Use Cases:
Spotting key breakout zones to identify entry and exit points more effectively.
Setting dynamic target levels for take-profit or stop-loss planning.
Filtering market noise and maintaining a cleaner chart while analyzing trends.
Enhancing traditional market structure analysis with an intuitive curved visualization.
This indicator is ideal for traders who want a modern, dynamic, and visually appealing way to track market structure and breakouts while maintaining chart clarity.
Optimus Trader Consolidation V.1 Indicator Description: "Optimus Trader Consolidation V.1"
This Pine Script indicator is designed to assist traders by identifying key market conditions, including **trend direction**, **volume dynamics**, **liquidity zones**, and **consolidation periods**, alongside candlestick patterns like **Pin Bars** and **Inside Bars**. It provides clear buy and sell signals based on a confluence of these factors. Here’s a detailed breakdown of its functionality:
---
Key Features:
1. **Moving Average (MA) and VWAP Integration**:
- The indicator uses a 50-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) and VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) to identify the market trend.
- **Uptrend**: Price is above both the MA and VWAP.
- **Downtrend**: Price is below both the MA and VWAP.
2. **Volume Threshold**:
- A dynamic volume threshold is calculated based on the 20-period SMA of volume, multiplied by a factor of 1.2.
- This ensures signals are filtered to consider only significant volume spikes, avoiding noise from low-volume periods.
3. **Pin Bar Detection**:
- Identifies bullish and bearish Pin Bars based on candlestick characteristics:
- **Bullish Pin Bar**: Large wick above the body, small lower wick, and a green body.
- **Bearish Pin Bar**: Large wick below the body, small upper wick, and a red body.
4. **Inside Bar Detection**:
- Detects Inside Bars, where the current candle’s high and low are fully contained within the previous candle’s range.
- Indicates a period of indecision or potential breakout zones.
5. **Liquidity Zone Identification**:
- Uses recent 20-period highs and lows to approximate liquidity zones.
- Highlights areas where price is near these zones, indicating potential support or resistance.
6. **Buy and Sell Signal Generation**:
- **Buy Signal**: Triggered when a bullish Pin Bar or Inside Bar occurs in an uptrend, with high volume, and near liquidity zones.
- **Sell Signal**: Triggered when a bearish Pin Bar or Inside Bar occurs in a downtrend, with high volume, and near liquidity zones.
- Signals are visually plotted with green (BUY) and red (SELL) markers.
7. **Consolidation Zone Detection**:
- Identifies periods of low price range volatility using a user-defined period (`length`) and range threshold (`range_threshold` in %).
- Highlights periods where the price range is less than the threshold, visually marking consolidation zones.
- Upper and lower boundaries of consolidation zones are plotted with green and red lines, respectively.
8. **Visual Enhancements**:
- Consolidation zones are shaded with a blue background to make them easily recognizable.
- Clear markers for buy and sell signals help traders quickly spot opportunities.
---
Use Cases:
- **Trend Confirmation**: By integrating MA, VWAP, and volume analysis, this indicator helps confirm trends before entering trades.
- **Liquidity Zone Trading**: Identifies price areas where support or resistance may lead to significant price movement.
- **Consolidation Breakouts**: Highlights consolidation zones, which often precede explosive moves, allowing traders to anticipate breakouts.
- **Candlestick Reversal Patterns**: Pin Bars and Inside Bars are powerful patterns that provide early indications of potential reversals or continuation setups.
---
Customizable Parameters:
- **MA Period**: Length of the moving average (default: 50).
- **Volume Threshold**: Sensitivity to volume spikes (default: 20-period SMA × 1.2).
- **Consolidation Period**: Lookback period for identifying consolidation (default: 20).
- **Consolidation Range Threshold**: Maximum percentage range considered as consolidation (default: 1%).
---
Visualization:
- **Green BUY Signals**: Bullish opportunities based on confluence of patterns, trends, and volume.

WillStop Pro [tradeviZion]WillStop Pro : A Step-by-Step Guide for Beginners to Master Trend Trading
Welcome to an in-depth guide to the WillStop Pro indicator. This article will walk you through the key features, how to use them effectively, and how this tool can help you navigate the markets confidently. WillStop Pro is based on principles established by Larry Williams, a well-known figure in trading, and aims to help you manage trades more effectively without overcomplicating things.
This guide will help you understand the basics of the WillStop Pro indicator, how to interpret its signals, and how to use it step-by-step to manage risk and identify opportunities in your trading journey. We will also cover the underlying logic and calculations for advanced users interested in more details.
What is the WillStop Pro Indicator?
The WillStop Pro indicator is a user-friendly tool that helps traders establish stop levels dynamically. It helps you figure out optimal points to enter or exit trades, while managing risk effectively during changing market conditions. The indicator tracks trending markets and sets price levels as stops for ongoing trades, making it suitable both for deciding when to enter and exit trades.
The indicator is beginner-friendly because it simplifies complex calculations and presents the results visually. This allows traders to focus more on their decision-making process instead of spending time with complex analysis.
WillStop Pro adapts to different market conditions, whether you're trading stocks, forex, commodities, or cryptocurrencies. It adjusts stop levels dynamically based on current market momentum, providing a practical way to manage both risk and reward.
Another significant benefit of WillStop Pro is that it works well with other indicators. Beginners can use it on its own or combine it with other tools like moving averages or oscillators to form a comprehensive trading strategy. Whether you are trading daily or looking at longer-term trends, WillStop Pro helps you manage your trades effectively.
Key Features of WillStop Pro
Dynamic Stop Levels : WillStop Pro calculates real-time stop levels for both long (buy) and short (sell) positions. This helps you protect your profits and reduce risk. The stop levels adjust based on the current market environment, making them more adaptable compared to fixed stop levels.
Advanced Stop Settings : There are optional settings to make the stop calculations more advanced, which take into consideration previous price movements to refine where the stops should be placed. These settings provide more precise control over your trades.
Break Signals and Alerts : The indicator provides visual signals, like arrows, to show when a stop level has been broken. This makes it easier for you to identify possible reversals and understand when the market direction is changing.
Comprehensive Table Display : A small table on the chart shows the current trend, the stop level, and whether advanced mode is active. This simple display provides an overview of the market, making decision-making easier.
Based on Larry Williams' Methodology : WillStop Pro builds upon Larry Williams' ideas, which are designed to capture major market trends while managing risk effectively. It provides a systematic way to follow these strategies without requiring deep technical analysis skills.
How Are Stop Levels Calculated? (For Advanced Users)
The WillStop Pro indicator determines stop levels by evaluating highs, lows, and closing prices over a specific lookback period. It uses this information to identify key points that justify adjusting your stop level, and there are separate approaches for both long and short positions.
Below, we explain the mathematical logic behind the stop calculations, along with some code snippets to give advanced users a clearer understanding.
For Long Stops (buy positions): The indicator looks for the highest closing price within the lookback period and continues until it finds three valid bars that meet certain criteria. Stops are adjusted to skip bars that have consecutive upward closes to ensure that the stop is placed at a level that offers solid support. Specifically, the function iterates over recent bars to determine the highest closing value, and checks for specific conditions before finalizing the stop level. Here is an excerpt of the relevant code:
getTrueLow(idx) => math.min(low , close )
findStopLevels() =>
float highestClose = close
int highestCloseIndex = 0
for i = 0 to lookback
if close > highestClose
highestClose := close
highestCloseIndex := i
// Logic to adjust based on up close skipping
int longCount = 0
int longCurrentIndex = highestCloseIndex
while longCount < 3 and longCurrentIndex < 100
if not isInsideBar(longCurrentIndex)
longCount += 1
longCurrentIndex += 1
// Determine the lowest low for the stop level
float longStopLevel = high * 2
for i = searchIndex to highestCloseIndex
longStopLevel := math.min(longStopLevel, getTrueLow(i))
// Apply offset
longStopLevel := longStopLevel - (offsetTicks * tickSize)
In this code snippet, the function findStopLevels() calculates the long stop level by first identifying the highest close within the lookback period and then finding a suitable support level while skipping certain conditions, such as inside bars or consecutive upward closes. Finally, the user-defined offset ( offsetTicks ) is applied to determine the stop level.
For Short Stops (sell positions): Similarly, the indicator finds the lowest closing price within the lookback period and then identifies three bars that fit the conditions for a short stop. It avoids using bars with consecutive down closes to help find a more robust resistance level. Here's a relevant code snippet:
getTrueHigh(idx) => math.max(high , close )
findStopLevels() =>
float lowestClose = close
int lowestCloseIndex = 0
for i = 0 to lookback
if close < lowestClose
lowestClose := close
lowestCloseIndex := i
// Logic to adjust based on down close skipping
int shortCount = 0
int shortCurrentIndex = lowestCloseIndex
while shortCount < 3 and shortCurrentIndex < 100
if not isInsideBar(shortCurrentIndex)
shortCount += 1
shortCurrentIndex += 1
// Determine the highest high for the stop level
float shortStopLevel = 0
for i = searchIndex to lowestCloseIndex
shortStopLevel := math.max(shortStopLevel, getTrueHigh(i))
// Apply offset
shortStopLevel := shortStopLevel + (offsetTicks * tickSize)
Here, findStopLevels() calculates the short stop level by finding the lowest closing price within the lookback period. It then determines the highest value that acts as a resistance level, excluding bars that do not fit certain criteria.
Volume Confirmation for Alert Accuracy : To further enhance the stop level accuracy, volume is used as a confirmation filter. The average volume (volAvg) is calculated over a 20-period moving average, and alerts are only generated if the volume exceeds a defined threshold (volMultiplier). This ensures that price movements are significant enough to consider as meaningful signals.
volAvg = ta.sma(volume, 20)
isVolumeConfirmed() =>
result = requireVolumeConfirmation ? volume > (volAvg * volMultiplier) : true
result
This additional logic ensures that stop level breaks or adjustments are not triggered during periods of low trading activity, thus enhancing the reliability of the generated signals.
These calculations are at the core of WillStop Pro's ability to determine dynamic stop levels that respond effectively to market movements, helping traders manage risk by placing stops at levels that make sense given historical price and volume data.
How to Identify Opportunities with WillStop Pro
WillStop Pro provides various signals that help you decide when to enter or exit a trade:
When a Stop Level is Broken: If a stop level (support for long positions or resistance for short positions) is broken, it may indicate a reversal. WillStop Pro visually plots arrows whenever a stop level is breached, making it easy for you to see where changes might occur. This feature helps traders identify momentum shifts quickly.
Support and Resistance Levels: The indicator plots support and resistance levels, which show key zones to watch for opportunities. These levels often act as psychological barriers in the market, where price action may either reverse or stall temporarily.
Dynamic State Management: The indicator shifts between long and short states based on price action, providing real-time feedback. This helps traders stick to their trading plan without second-guessing the market.
A major advantage of WillStop Pro is that it responds well to changing market conditions. By identifying when key support or resistance levels break, it allows you to adjust your strategies and react to new opportunities accordingly. Whether the market is trending strongly or staying within a range, WillStop Pro provides valuable information to help guide your trades.
Setting Up Alerts
Alerts are an important feature in trading, especially when you can’t be in front of your charts all the time. WillStop Pro has been enhanced to include flexible alert settings to help you stay on top of your trades without constantly monitoring the charts.
Enable Alerts: There is a master switch to enable or disable all alerts. This way, you can control whether you want to be notified of events at any time.
Alert Frequency: Choose between receiving alerts Once Per Bar or Once Per Bar Close . This helps you manage the frequency of alerts and decide if you need real-time updates or want confirmation after a bar closes.
Break Alerts: These alerts notify you when a stop level has been broken. This can help you catch potential reversals or trading opportunities as soon as they happen.
Strong Break Alerts: Alerts are available for strong breaks, which occur when the price breaks stop levels with confirmation based on additional price, volume, and momentum criteria. These alerts help identify significant shifts in the market.
Level Change Alerts: These alerts tell you whenever a new stop level is calculated, keeping you updated about changes in market dynamics. You can set a Minimum Level Change % to ensure that alerts are only triggered when the stop level changes significantly.
Require Volume Confirmation: You can opt to receive alerts only if the volume is above a certain threshold. This confirmation helps reduce false signals by ensuring that significant price changes are backed by increased trading activity.
Volume Multiplier: The volume multiplier allows you to set a minimum volume requirement that must be met for an alert to trigger. This ensures that alerts are triggered only when there is sufficient trading interest.
Here is a part of the updated alert logic that has been implemented in the indicator:
// Alert on break conditions
if alertsEnabled
if alertOnBreaks
if longStopBroken and isVolumeConfirmed()
alert(createAlertMessage("Support Break - Short Signal", useAdvancedStops), alertFreq)
if shortStopBroken and isVolumeConfirmed()
alert(createAlertMessage("Resistance Break - Long Signal", useAdvancedStops), alertFreq)
// Strong break alerts
if alertOnStrongBreaks
if longStopBroken and isStrongBreak(false)
alert(createAlertMessage("Strong Support Break - Short Signal", useAdvancedStops), alertFreq)
if shortStopBroken and isStrongBreak(true)
alert(createAlertMessage("Strong Resistance Break - Long Signal", useAdvancedStops), alertFreq)
// Level change alerts
if alertOnLevelChanges and isSignificantChange() and isVolumeConfirmed()
alert(createAlertMessage("Significant Level Change", useAdvancedStops), alertFreq)
Setting alerts allows you to react to market changes without having to watch the charts constantly. Alerts are particularly helpful if you have other responsibilities and can’t be actively monitoring your trades all day.
Understanding the Table Display
The WillStop Pro indicator provides a status table that gives an overview of the current market state. Here’s what the table shows:
Indicator Status: The table indicates whether the indicator is in a LONG or SHORT state. This helps you quickly understand the market trend.
Stop Level: The active stop level is shown, whether it is acting as support (long) or resistance (short). This is important for knowing where to set your protective stops.
Mode: The table also displays whether the advanced calculation mode is being used. This keeps you informed about how stop levels are being calculated and why they are positioned where they are.
Empowering Messages: The table also includes motivational messages that rotate periodically, such as 'Trade with Clarity, Stop with Precision' and 'Let Winners Run, Cut Losses Short.' These messages are designed to keep you focused, motivated, and disciplined during your trading journey.
The table is simple and easy to follow, helping you maintain discipline in your trading plan. By having all the essential information in one place, the table reduces the need to make quick, emotional decisions and promotes more thoughtful analysis.

Swing Failure Pattern SFP [TradingFinder] SFP ICT Strategy🔵 Introduction
The Swing Failure Pattern (SFP), also referred to as a "Fake Breakout" or "False Breakout," is a vital concept in technical analysis. This pattern is derived from classic technical analysis, price action strategies, ICT concepts, and Smart Money Concepts.
It’s frequently utilized by traders to identify potential trend reversals in financial markets, especially in volatile markets like cryptocurrencies and forex. SFP helps traders recognize failed attempts to breach key support or resistance levels, providing strategic opportunities for trades.
The Swing Failure Pattern (SFP) is a popular strategy among traders used to identify false breakouts and potential trend reversals in the market. This strategy involves spotting moments where the price attempts to break above or below a previous high or low (breakout) but fails to sustain the move, leading to a sharp reversal.
Traders use this strategy to identify liquidity zones where stop orders (stop hunt) are typically placed and targeted by larger market participants or whales.
When the price penetrates these areas but fails to hold the levels, a liquidity sweep occurs, signaling exhaustion in the trend and a potential reversal. This strategy allows traders to enter the market at the right time and capitalize on opportunities created by false breakouts.
🟣 Types of SFP
When analyzing SFPs, two main variations are essential :
Real SFP : This occurs when the price breaks a critical level but fails to close above it, then quickly reverses. Due to its clarity and strong signal, this SFP type is highly reliable for traders.
Considerable SFP : In this scenario, the price closes slightly above a key level but quickly declines. Although significant, it is not as definitive or trustworthy as a Real SFP.
🟣 Understanding SFP
The Swing Failure Pattern, or False Breakout, is identified when the price momentarily breaks a crucial support or resistance level but cannot maintain the movement, leading to a rapid reversal.
The pattern can be categorized as follows :
Bullish SFP : This type occurs when the price dips below a support level but rebounds above it, signaling that sellers failed to push the price lower, indicating a potential upward trend.
Bearish SFP : This pattern forms when the price surpasses a resistance level but fails to hold, suggesting that buyers couldn’t maintain the higher price, leading to a potential decline.
🔵 How to Use
To effectively identify an SFP or Fake Breakout on a price chart, traders should follow these steps :
Identify Key Levels: Locate significant support or resistance levels on the chart.
Observe the Fake Breakout: The price should break the identified level but fail to close beyond it.
Monitor Price Reversal: After the breakout, the price should quickly reverse direction.
Execute the Trade: Traders typically enter the market after confirming the SFP.
🟣 Examples
Bullish Example : Bitcoin breaks below a $30,000 support level, drops to $29,000, but closes above $30,000 by the end of the day, signaling a Real Bullish SFP.
Bearish Example : Ethereum surpasses a $2,000 resistance level, rises to $2,100, but then falls back below $2,000, forming a Bearish SFP.
🟣 Pros and Cons of SFP
Pros :
Effective in identifying strong reversal points.
Offers a favorable risk-to-reward ratio.
Applicable across different timeframes.
Cons :
Requires experience and deep market understanding.
Risk of encountering false breakouts.
Should be combined with other technical tools for optimal effectiveness.
🔵 Settings
🟣 Logical settings
Swing period : You can set the swing detection period.
SFP Type : Choose between "All", "Real" and "Considerable" modes to identify the swing failure pattern.
Max Swing Back Method : It is in two modes "All" and "Custom". If it is in "All" mode, it will check all swings, and if it is in "Custom" mode, it will check the swings to the extent you determine.
Max Swing Back : You can set the number of swings that will go back for checking.
🟣 Display settings
Displaying or not displaying swings and setting the color of labels and lines.
🟣 Alert Settings
Alert SFP : Enables alerts for Swing Failure Pattern.
Message Frequency : Determines the frequency of alerts. Options include 'All' (every function call), 'Once Per Bar' (first call within the bar), and 'Once Per Bar Close' (final script execution of the real-time bar). Default is 'Once per Bar'.
Show Alert Time by Time Zone : Configures the time zone for alert messages. Default is 'UTC'.
🔵 Conclusion
The Swing Failure Pattern (SFP), or False Breakout, is an essential analytical tool that assists traders in identifying key market reversal points for successful trading.
By understanding the nuances between Real SFP and Considerable SFP, and integrating this pattern with other technical analysis tools, traders can make more informed decisions and better manage their trading risks.

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.
Wunder False Breakout1. The basic concept for this strategy is to use false breakout logic based on price levels.
2. We will enter a trade when the price exhibits a false breakout, where it initially breaks a level but then reverses direction.
3. The main concept of this strategy is to capitalize on false breakouts of price levels. The strategy involves building levels based on the highs and lows over a certain period. When these price levels appear to break out but then reverse, we use these false breakouts as entry points. You can adjust the period to find setups that suit your trading pair and timeframe.
4. A function for calculating risk on the portfolio (your deposit) has been added to the Wunder False Breakout. When this option is enabled, you get a calculation of the entry amount in dollars relative to your Stop Loss. In the settings, you can select the risk percentage on your portfolio. The loss will be calculated from the amount that will be displayed on the chart.
5. For example, if your deposit is $1000 and you set the risk to 1%, with a Stop Loss of 5%, the entry volume will be $200. The loss at SL will be $10. 10$, which is your 1% risk or 1% of the deposit.
Important! The risk per trade must be less than the Stop Loss value. If the risk is greater than SL, then you should use leverage.
The amount of funds entering the trade is calculated in dollars. This option was created if you want to send the dollar amount from Tradingview to the exchange. However, putting your volume in dollars you get the incorrect net profit and drawdown indication in the backtest results, as TradingView calculates the backtest volume in contracts.
To display the correct net profit and drawdown values in Tradingview Backtest results, use the ”Volume in contract” option.

Feature List
Automatic real-time pattern detection
7 different built-in breakout conditions
Breakout alerts
Customizable pattern size and accuracy
Customizable look and feel
The value of this indicator is to support traders to easily identify harmonic patterns. The trader saves a lot of time scanning the markets for harmonic patterns, since finding the pattern and alerting for a breakout is done automatically for the trader.
For a visualization of the detected patterns, you can add the TRN Harmonic Patterns Suite indicator to your chart.
How does TRN Harmonics Scanner work?
On the right side of the chart, you can find a table displaying the symbols monitored by our scanner for pattern and breakout detection. The table is divided into bullish and bearish patterns and provides information on the status of each symbol.
UP – Upside Breakout
DN – Downside Breakout
UP CONF – Upside Breakout confirmed
DN CONF – Downside Breakout confirmed
FAILED – Pattern failed to get confirmed
If a pattern is in the making or already got confirmed, the scanner displays the name of the harmonic pattern in the table.
The scanner operates specifically on the timeframe you have selected in TradingView, ensuring that the detected patterns and breakouts align precisely with your trading perspective. If the scanner displays a pattern or a breakout, you just can switch to this instrument and start trading it if you like what you see.
Follow these instructions to discover how you can utilize the scanner for seamless and simplified chart pattern detection like never before:
Add Symbols
Go to indicator settings and scroll down to the "Symbols" section. The enabled symbols can be recognized by the check marks. Click on one of them and use the search function to add the symbol of your choice to the scanner. You can search for up to 20 different symbols at the same time.
Use Alerts (Optional but Recommended)
You can also use the built-in alerts to easily get notified when a pattern occurs. In the indicator settings in the "Alerts" section you can choose whether you want to get notified when a pattern is
1. in the making (Pattern active),
2. confirms an up breakout (B/O Up Confirmed)
3. confirms a down breakout (B/O Down Confirmed)
4. (Unconfirmed) in case a pattern breakout occurs, even if the pattern is not yet confirmed
This allows you to stay informed about potential breakout opportunities.
Customization and settings
The indicator can scan for smaller and larger patterns. Adjust the harmonics size in the indicator settings to align them with your preferences. A larger size results in larger patterns. Depending on the asset class, the market or the market phase, different sizes can be used for pattern detection.
To detect more patterns, increase the tolerance level, even though it may result in lower accuracy. However, be mindful that a higher tolerance level may result in more patterns hitting their stop-loss.
Breakout Conditions
Identifying breakout conditions is paramount for successfully profiting on chart patterns. Trading tools equipped with diverse breakout conditions offer traders a comprehensive approach to deciphering market trends and making informed decisions.
This section delves into the set of breakout conditions built within the Harmonic Pattern Scanner, exploring their functionalities, applications, and the benefits they provide in the realm of chart pattern recognition.
TRN Bars Signal + Trend
The Harmonic Pattern Scanner includes also the TRN Bars algorithm. It is designed to spot bullish and bearish trends and reversals. The trend analysis is based on a new algorithm that weights several different inputs:
1. classical and advanced bar patterns and their statistical frequency
2. probability distributions of price expansions after certain bar patterns
3. bar information such as wick length in %, overlapping of the previous bar in % and many more
4. historical trend and consolidation analysis
If you use this breakout condition, the breakout is determined by the next signal (reversal, continuation, breakout) or trend change of the TRN bars after one of the harmonic patterns has been completed. These Breakout conditions give you the accurate trend recognition of the TRN Bars to find the perfect entry.
TRN Bars Signal
If a harmonic pattern gets completed and you use this breakout condition, the breakout will be determined by the next confirmed signal (reversal, continuation, breakout) of the TRN Bars. These Breakout Condition delivers signals with reenforced reliability, but they occur not as often as other breakout conditions.
RSI Crossing
With this breakout condition, a breakout for a long position gets determined, when the RSI line crosses above the RSI moving average (MA) after one of the harmonic patterns has been completed. A bearish breakout after a completed harmonic pattern gets determined, when the RSI line crosses below the RSI MA.
You can choose your preferred RSI and MA length in the indicator settings under the “Trade Management” section.
MACD Crossing
If a harmonic pattern gets completed and you use this breakout condition, the breakout gets determined, when the MACD line crosses above the signal line (bullish MACD crossover) for a bullish breakout. Conversely, when the MACD line crosses below the signal line (bearish MACD crossover), a bearish breakout gets determined after a harmonic pattern was completed.
You can choose your preferred MACD length in the indicator settings under the “Trade Management” section.
Swing Flip
Use this breakout condition, if you want a breakout to get determined when the next swing after point D gets detected by the build in swing detection algorithm of TRN Harmonics.
Close Below/Above Last 2 Lows/Highs
With this breakout condition, a breakout for a short position gets determined, if a close below the lows of the last 2 bars gets detected. For a long position, the breakout gets determined if a close above the highs of the last 2 bars gets detected.
Close Below/Above Last 3 Lows/Highs
In this scenario, a short position breakout is confirmed if the price closes below the lows of the previous 3 bars. Conversely, a long position breakout is confirmed if the price closes above the highs of the last 3 bars.
How To Setup Breakout Conditions
Go to indicator settings and choose one of our built-in breakout conditions under the section "Trade Management" of the menu item "Inputs", like for example TRN Bars Signal + Trend. A selection of 7 distinct breakout conditions is at your disposal.
Computation Details
The real-time detection of the harmonic patterns utilizes a unique swing-based pattern recognition. The difference to other swing-based computations is that the pivot points are identified without a look-ahead value. The result is a faster and better real-time detection. The tolerance level unites several internal parameters into one and results in a user-friendly setting.

Head and Shoulders PatternHello Traders!
The Head and Shoulders Pattern indicator utilizes a unique swing-based pattern recognition to pinpoint head and shoulders patterns in real-time with unparalleled precision.
The head and shoulders chart pattern is a technical analysis pattern used to identify potential trend reversals in financial markets. It consists of three swing highs (peaks), with the middle peak being the highest and the two outside swing highs being slightly lower. The middle peak is referred to as the "head" and the two outside peaks are referred to as the "shoulders."
The pattern typically forms after an uptrend and is in most cases a bearish signal. The neckline is a support level that connects the lows of the two shoulders. Once the price breaks below the neckline, the pattern is confirmed, and a new down trend starts. Conversely, an "inverse head and shoulders" pattern forms after a downtrend and is a bullish signal.
Feature List

Customizable pattern size and accuracy
Customizable look and feel
The value of this indicator is to support traders to easily identify the Head and Shoulders pattern in an automated way. The special swing-based pattern recognition and the numerous built-in premium features make this indicator unique. The trader saves a lot of time scanning the markets for head and shoulders patterns, since everything is done automatically for the trader: Finding the pattern, looking and alerting for a breakout, computing the entry, stop loss and take profit levels as well as handling the risk management and computing the optimal order quantity.
How to Trade with the TRN Head and Shoulders Indicator
Identify the Pattern
Add the Head and Shoulders Pattern Indicator to your chart and look for the pattern on the asset and timeframe of your choice. The pattern is detected in real-time. If the pattern develops further in the next bars, then the indicator updates the pattern accordingly until a breakout is confirmed or the pattern becomes invalid.
You can also use the built-in alerts to easily get notified when a pattern occurs. In the indicator settings in the "Alerts" section you can choose whether you want to get notified when a pattern is
1. in the making (Pattern active),
2. confirms an up breakout (B/O Up Confirmed)
3. confirms a down breakout (B/O Down Confirmed)
4. (Unconfirmed) in case a pattern breakout occurs, even if the pattern is not yet confirmed
This allows you to stay informed about potential breakout opportunities that are still awaiting confirmation.
Check Pattern Statistics
The pattern statistics make it easy for you to see how successful a pattern is on the asset and timeframe you are watching. You should always check the statistics before entering a trade. The chart displays the statistics in the upper right corner. These statistics are categorized into two sections: "long" for inverse head and shoulders patterns and "short" for head and shoulders patterns.
In the initial columns, labeled as "short" and "long", the identified breakouts are further divided based on whether the risk-reward ratio (R) is below a specified value (< x) or equal to/greater than the specified value (>= x). The following columns represent the count of the events:
1. Occ. (Occurrence) categorized according to the values of R from the first column
2. TP1, TP2, TP3 (Take Profit) - targets 1, 2 and 3
3. SL (Stop Loss)
4. T/O (Time Out) - neither stop loss or targets where hit in a certain amount of time
Breakout – Entry, Stop Loss and Targets
The indicator automatically displays the entry price line (EP) in grey at the point where the price breaks through the neckline, indicating a breakout. Once a breakout has been confirmed, place a buy order near the EP level for a long position, or a sell order for a short position. Set your stop-loss at the price level of the red stop-loss line (SL) and set your take-profits at the price level of the green take-profit-lines (TP1, TP2, TP3).
Risk Management
The Head and Shoulders Pattern Indicator comes with a built-in risk management feature. Just go to the settings and scroll down to the section "Risk Management". Here you can enter your Account Size and the percentage you want to Risk when you enter a position after a pattern breakout.
In the "Trade Management" section, you have the option to define the minimum accepted risk-reward ratio for confirmed rectangles. This means that breakouts of patterns failing to meet the minimum risk-reward ratio will not be considered as confirmed signals. If a breakout gets confirmed, the indicator automatically calculates the position size (Quantity). You can read the quantity from the gray entry point line (EP), which is located to the right of the risk-reward ratio (R). Note that your risk-reward ratio (R) is calculated based on TP1.
Customization and Settings
The indicator can scan for smaller and larger patterns at the same time. Adjust the Head and Shoulders Sizes in the indicator settings to align them with your preferences. A larger size results in larger patterns. Depending on the asset class, the market or the market phase, different sizes should be used for the Head and Shoulders pattern detection.
To detect more patterns, increase the tolerance level, even though it may result in lower accuracy. However, be mindful that a higher tolerance level may result in more patterns hitting their stop-loss. Look for a tolerance level that leads to favorable statistics and focus on trading patterns with a proven performance history.
Finally, you have the flexibility to customize various visual elements, such as the color of the pattern and whether to display values like price, target, or risk-reward ratio on your chart. You can also choose where these values appear.
Computation Details
The real-time detection of the Head and Shoulders Pattern Indicator utilizes a unique swing-based pattern recognition. The difference to other swing-based computations is that the pivot points are identified without a look-ahead value. The result is a faster and better real-time detection. Furthermore, the detection of the ratios between the single swings is based on a dynamic volatility measurement similar to the ATR. The tolerance level unites several internal parameters into one and results in a user-friendly setting.
