[TH] Volatility Breakout

The [TH] Volatility Breakout indicator is a momentum-based trading tool designed to capture price movements that exceed a specific volatility range within a daily timeframe. It aims to identify breakout opportunities by calculating a target entry price based on the previous day's range multiplied by a user-defined coefficient.

Usage

The strategy is specifically designed for the daily (1D) timeframe. It calculates an entry price by taking the current day's height (high - low) and applying a multiplier. When price breaks above this calculated level, a long position is triggered.

The tool is built with automated execution in mind, generating formatted message strings for buy and sell orders. It is important to note that this script is intended for forward-testing and live execution rather than historical backtesting, as it utilizes stop orders and specific alert message formatting for external integration.

Details

The core logic follows the classic volatility breakout principle. The "height" is determined by the difference between the high and low of the bar. This value is then multiplied by the 'K' factor. The entry price is set as: Entry Price = Close + (High - Low) * K

The script uses a specialized integration to handle order messages, requiring a password for secure alert transmission. It manages positions by opening long trades at the stop price and closing them according to the strategy's exit logic, typically at the end of the trading period.

Settings

• Password: A string input used to authenticate and format the alert messages for external execution platforms.
• K: A float multiplier (default 0.5) that determines the sensitivity of the breakout. A lower value results in more frequent entries, while a higher value requires more significant volatility to trigger a trade.
