Trendline Breakout Navigator
By LuxAlgoApr 2, 2025
Trendline Breakout Navigator keeps three trendlines alive at once: a solid long-term line for overall market direction, a dashed medium-term line for intermediate movement, and a dotted short-term line for immediate fluctuations. Each begins as a horizontal line at a swing point, connects once a new higher low or lower high forms, and then optimizes itself against the historical closes that pierced it. The result is diagonal structure at three scales, maintained without a single manual drawing.
How to Trade the Trendline Breakout Navigator?
- Blue and orange dots: a higher low or lower high pierced a bullish (blue) or bearish (orange) trendline without the close breaking it. Tested lines like these can precede continuations or reversals.
- Green background: price broke above a bearish trendline, or a new higher high printed.
- Red background: price fell below a bullish trendline, or a lower low appeared.
- Bar colors: green and red hues deepen according to how the close stacks up against the long, medium, and short-term lines together, a three-layer trend read at a glance.
HH/LL labels mark where fresh trendlines are born, and the Period setting can source everything from a higher timeframe, with trendlines spanning up to 5000 bars, so a lower-timeframe chart can trade against bigger structure.
Trendline Breakout Navigator Settings
- Period: "chart" for the current timeframe, or a higher timeframe for broader trend recognition.
- Swing Length: set per trendline; longer values produce longer-term swing levels.
- Term: choose whether the Long, Medium, or Short-term line drives HH/LL labels and background coloring.
- HH/LL Labeling, Background Coloring, Bar Coloring: independent visual layers, plus color controls for lines and wick dots.
