Previous Day High and Low Breakout Strategy

The Previous Day High and Low Breakout Strategy indicator identifies key daily price levels to execute breakout trades based on the prior day's range. It aims to capture momentum shifts when the market moves beyond established daily boundaries, providing a systematic approach to intraday trend following.

Usage

The strategy is primarily used on intraday timeframes to monitor price action relative to the previous day's extremes.

• Long Entry: Triggered when the current price breaks above the Previous Day High (PDH).
• Short Entry: Triggered when the current price breaks below the Previous Day Low (PDL).

The script automatically colors the bars to reflect the current market state: green for a bullish breakout and red for a bearish breakout. Traders can use these levels as dynamic support and resistance or as triggers for automated execution.

Details

The strategy utilizes the request.security function to fetch the high and low values from the daily ('D') timeframe, ensuring that the levels remain constant throughout the current trading session regardless of the chart's intraday timeframe. The logic is based on the principle that breaking a previous day's high often indicates strong bullish conviction, while breaking a previous day's low indicates bearish dominance.

Settings
