Breaker — Indicators and Strategies

ICT Breakers (BOS / MSS - Market Structure) [ICTProTools]The Breakers (Market Structure) indicator is designed to help traders identify true breaker structures , a key concept in Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology. In market structure, Breakers represent powerful shifts where a key high or low is broken, leading to a reversal in market direction. Most tools misinterpret structure shifts, using internal structure , leading to fake breakouts. This tool solves that problem by filtering out false signals , providing clear & structured insights , all with multi-timeframe compatibility. 💎 Key Features ⚡️ Breakers in action The indicator shows the structure following ICT instructions. A breaker is defined by two lines: The first line confirms the previous trend (it could be interpreted as a BOS). The second line highlights the moment price breaks structure (with candle body or wick based on your chosen settings), signaling a shift in trend direction (like an MSS). Furthermore, it’s important to note that a breaker not only shows the structure, but also defines a potential Point of Interest (POI), an area where price may retrace before continuing its trend. Here, we can observe two clear structure shifts. On the far left, the market was in a bearish trend, illustrated by the first visible (dotted and red) line. Shortly after, the second (solid and green) line appears, showing a break that initiates a new bullish trend. This upward movement continues, with the last confirmation marked by a top structure line. And finally, the structure is broken once again indicating a transition back into a bearish trend. 💪 Real Structure with True Highs / Lows Unlike many indicators that detect internal breakouts , this tool follows ICT’s true market structure rules . In a bearish trend , a bullish breaker is only confirmed when the high that created the low is broken , and conversely for a bullish scenario. Fake breakouts are ignored, preventing misleading signals. In the image above, the white breakout is correctly ignored by the indicator, as it doesn't align with ICT’s structural rules. That white high is simply part of the internal structure, not the true swing point. Instead, the green line highlights the key level that truly matters, the one whose rupture would have confirmed a real change in market structure. 🔔 Smart Alerts for Structure Updates Stay one step ahead with customizable alerts designed to notify you instantly when market structure changes occur. Get notified for BOS (Continuation) and / or MSS (Breaker) events. Set alerts for bullish , bearish , or both directions. Choose between once or repeated alerts , based on your strategy. This feature allows traders to remain focused and reactive , even when monitoring multiple markets. In the alert settings, select which structure shifts you want to be notified of. Whether you're a scalper or a swing trader, the alerts keep you connected to key moments without needing to constantly monitor the chart. ⏳ Multi-Timeframe Structure All features of the indicator are fully compatible with higher timeframes . Get a broader view of market structure without switching timeframes. Monitor higher timeframe structures and receive alerts, all without leaving your analysis chart . In this example, the market structure of the 30m timeframe is displayed while on a 5m chart, providing a clearer perspective. ✨ Customization & User Control Make it yours! The indicator allows full customization: Swing bars (to confirm high / low) Select your mode for Breakers (MSS) , using the candle body only or body / wick Line style (type, width, color) Choice of displayed timeframe Activate any alert , with the frequency you want 🎯 Conclusion ✅ Avoid false signals by focusing on true ICT Breakers ✅ Smart alerts to never miss a structural shift ✅ Multi-timeframe support for enhanced analysis ✅ Clean & professional design for an optimal trading experience

Breaker Blocks + Order Blocks confirm [TradingFinder] BBOB Alert 🔵 Introduction In the realm of technical analysis, various tools and concepts are employed to identify key levels on price charts. These tools assist traders in analyzing market trends with greater precision, enabling them to optimize their trading decisions. Among these tools, the Order Block and Breaker Block hold a significant place, serving as effective instruments for analyzing market structure. 🟣 Order Block An Order Block refers to zones on a chart where large financial institutions and high-volume traders place their orders. Due to the substantial volume of buy or sell orders in these areas, they are often regarded as pivotal points for potential price reversals or temporary pauses in a trend. Order Blocks are particularly crucial when prices react to these zones after a strong market move, acting as strong support or resistance levels. 🟣 Breaker Block On the other hand, a Breaker Block refers to areas on a chart that previously functioned as Order Blocks but where the price has managed to break through and continue in the opposite direction. These zones are typically recognized as key points where market trends might shift, helping traders identify potential reversal points in the market. 🟣 Overlapping Block (BBOB) Now, imagine a scenario where these two essential concepts in technical analysis—Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks—overlap on a chart. Although this overlap is not specifically discussed within the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) trading framework, exploring and utilizing this overlap can provide traders with powerful insights into strong support and resistance zones. The combination of these two robust concepts can highlight critical areas in trading, potentially offering significant advantages in making informed trading decisions. In this article, we will delve into the concept of this overlap, explaining how to utilize it in trading strategies. Additionally, we will analyze the potential outcomes and benefits of incorporating this concept into your trading decisions. Bullish Overlapping Block (BBOB) : Bearish Overlapping Block (BBOB) : 🔵 How to Use The overlap between Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks is a compelling and powerful concept that can help traders identify key levels on the chart with a high probability of success. This overlap is particularly valuable because it combines two well-regarded concepts in technical analysis—zones of high order volume and critical market shifts. 🟣 Here’s how to effectively use this overlap in your trading 1. Dentifying the Overlapping Block : To make the most of the overlap between Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks, begin by identifying these zones separately. Order Blocks are areas where price typically reacts and reverses after a strong market move. Breaker Blocks are areas where a previous Order Block has been breached, and the price continues in the opposite direction. When these two zones overlap on a chart, it’s crucial to pay close attention to this area, as it represents a high-probability reaction zone. 2. Analyzing the Overlapping Block : After identifying the overlap zone, carefully analyze price action within this region. Candlestick patterns and price behavior can provide essential clues. If the price reaches this overlap zone and strong reversal patterns such as Pin Bars or Engulfing patterns are observed, it’s likely that this zone will act as a pivotal reversal point. In such cases, entering a trade with confidence becomes more feasible. 3. Entering the Trade : When sufficient signs of price reaction are present in the overlap zone, you can proceed to enter the trade. If the overlap zone is within an uptrend and bullish reversal signals are evident, a long position might be appropriate. Conversely, if the overlap zone is in a downtrend and bearish reversal signals are observed, a short position would be more suitable. 4. Risk Management : One of the most critical aspects of trading in overlap zones is managing risk. To protect your capital, place your stop loss near the lowest point of the Order Block (for buy trades) or the highest point (for sell trades). This approach minimizes potential losses if the overlap zone fails to hold. 5. Price Targets : After entering the trade, set your price targets based on other key levels on the chart. These targets could include other support and resistance zones, Fibonacci levels, or pivot points. Bullish Overlapping Block : Bearish Overlapping Block : 🟣 Benefits of the Overlapping Block Between Order Block and Breaker Block 1. Enhanced Precision in Identifying Key Levels : The overlap between these two zones usually acts as a highly reliable area for price reactions, increasing the accuracy of identifying entry and exit points. 2. Reduced Trading Risk : Given the high importance of the overlap zone, the likelihood of making incorrect decisions is reduced, contributing to overall lower trading risk. 3. Increased Probability of Success : The overlap between Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks combines two powerful concepts, enhancing the likelihood of success in trades, as multiple indicators confirm the importance of the area. 4. Creation of Better Trading Opportunities : Overlap zones often provide traders with more robust trading opportunities, as these areas typically represent strong reversal points in the market. 5. Compatibility with Other Technical Tools : This concept seamlessly integrates with other technical analysis tools such as Fibonacci retracements, trend lines, and chart patterns, offering a more comprehensive market analysis. 🔵 Setting 🟣 Global Setting Pivot Period of Order Blocks Detector : Enter the desired pivot period to identify the Order Block. Order Block Validity Period (Bar) : You can specify the maximum time the Order Block remains valid based on the number of candles from the origin.

Mode selection. 🟣 Alert Alert Name : The name of the alert you receive. Alert Overlapping Block Mitigation : On / Off Message Frequency : This string parameter defines the announcement frequency. Choices include: "All" (activates the alert every time the function is called), "Once Per Bar" (activates the alert only on the first call within the bar), and "Once Per Bar Close" (the alert is activated only by a call at the last script execution of the real-time bar upon closing). The default setting is "Once per Bar". Show Alert Time by Time Zone : The date, hour, and minute you receive in alert messages can be based on any time zone you choose. For example, if you want New York time, you should enter "UTC-4". This input is set to the time zone "UTC" by default. 🔵 Conclusion The overlap between Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks represents a critical and powerful area in technical analysis that can serve as an effective tool for determining entry and exit points in trading. These zones, due to the combination of two key concepts in technical analysis, hold significant importance and can help traders make more confident trading decisions. Although this concept is not specifically discussed in the ICT framework and is introduced as a new idea, traders can achieve better results in their trades through practice and testing. Utilizing the overlap between Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks, in conjunction with other technical analysis tools, can significantly improve the chances of success in trading.

Market Structure (Breakers) [LuxAlgo]The Market Structure (Breakers) indicator aims to detect "Breaker Market Structures", an original concept inspired by breaker blocks, and extend on the original concept of market structures by extending existing MS levels, providing supports/resistances as a result. Various graphical elements are included that highlight the interactions between price and Breaker structures. 🔶 USAGE Breaker structures occur when a market structure is confirmed (price breaking a previous swing level). The broken swing point is extended by a dotted line which can be used as potential support or resistance. After a market structure, the price can eventually reverse and break one or multiple breaker structures at the same time, allowing for the detection of new trends in the price. A market structure closer to the top/bottom of a trend can return Breaker structures breakouts more indicative of potential reversals. Breakers MS breakouts can also be useful as exits for entries done using market market structures. The script additionally highlights support/resistance events by highlighting candle borders, with a border using a green color indicating support events while a red color is indicative of a resistance event. 🔹 Breaker Structure Lifespan The "lifespan" of Breaker structures, that is the amount of time the script will extend/evaluate them is determined by various user settings. The Maximum Breaks setting determines the maximum amount of breaks a breaker structure can withstand before it is broken. For example, a maximum amount of breaks of 3 for a bearish breaker structure would require the price to cross under that precise breaker structure level three times. Using higher values of this setting will also highlight more Breakers MS. The Breaker Maximum Duration setting on the other hand determines how many bars a breaker structure can be evaluated without being broken. If a breaker structure is not broken after this amount of bars then it will stop being evaluated and will be removed. 🔶 SETTINGS Swings Period: Period used for the swing detection, with higher values returning longer term markter structures. Maximum Breaks: Amount of break required for a breaker block to be considered broken. Breaker Maximum Duration: Maximum duration of a breaker block (in bars).

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.

[blackcat] L2 Intraday R-Breaker Indicator Level: 2 Background The famous R-Breaker is a short-term intraday trading strategy that combines trend and reversal trading methods. Function -1) When the intraday highest price exceeds the observed selling price, and the intraday price drops and further breaks below the support line constituted by the reverse selling price, a reversal strategy is adopted, that is, at this point (backhand, open position) ) Short; -2) When the intraday lowest price is lower than the observed purchase price, and the intraday price rebounds and further exceeds the resistance line constituted by the reverse purchase price, a reversal strategy is adopted, that is, at this point (backhand, open position) ) Long; -3) In the case of a short position, if the intraday price exceeds the breakthrough buying price, a trend strategy is adopted, that is, open a long position at that point; -4) In the case of a short position, if the intraday price breaks below the selling price, a trend strategy is adopted, that is, open a short position at that point.

Broken Fractal : Someone's broken dream is your profit!Idea The idea is simple : when market turns around, it traps a bunch of traders off guard. We trade with them, in the same direction of their exit! Method We let the market first create a fractal We then let the market create an opposite fractal We then let the market break the first fractal it created, thereby trapping lots of trades in the process We then patiently wait till the market gives these trapped traders a chance to exit - and we trade in the same direction How to use? Green boxes are for long entry, red boxes are for short. Whenever a box appears, that's the risk criteria - setup limit orders and trade along! Works on all timeframes If you like this script, please leave a note on how you are using it. I personally use it with Higher Timeframe bias. PS1 : some traders call this Break of market structure, some call it Breaker, I just call it "Broken Fractal" PS2 : Break of a broken fractal is also very potent. Watch out for those!
