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

The TF Breakout Bar allows the user to check for a breakout or a breakdown on a specific time frame regardless of what time frame resolution the current chart is on.
The user can change the following:
Breakout and Breakdown time frame
Lookback bar period for breakouts
Lookback bar period for breakdowns

This indicator helps identify spikes in market activity , typified by bars with extreme open / close or high / low prices.
This indicator plots 2 lines. The Blue line simply depicts extreme price movements with in that bar regardless of the initial opening price of the closing price of the bar. This allows you to get an insight into the current volatility of the price at that time in the market. Quite often big price swings with in bars are missed as people pend to tunnel vision on the open or close price - or other indicators derived from open / close.
The Red line is similar to the blue bar as it depicts extreme price movements with in the bar , but it will show the direction the market moved in by the close of the bar - and relatively how much the market moved. This is helpful for spotting breakout price action or short term spikes. Quite often after a breakout the market will restore itself to an equilibrium in the opposite direction. Sometimes this happens with an opposing aggressive spike , some times it makes a steady return to a known price level. Either way its a great time to place entry orders if you are looking to turn a fast profit or alternatively a good warning of forth coming price volatility.
Here are some tips for analysing the red and blue lines :
1)If the red line is pointing upwards , this indicates a sharp rise in the price.
2)If the red line is pointing downwards , this indicates a sharp fall in the price.
3)If the red line is flat but the blue line is spiked in either direction - this indicates the price was volatile with in the bar , but the price closed relatively near to the surrounding price bars. Perhaps a limit / stop triggered by this kind of activity - this is an easy way to determine why and re-enter.
4)If the red and the blue lines are flat - the price is steadily moving with a trend or trading sideways in a confined range.
