MARKET DYNAMICS HH LL BREAKOUT

The MARKET DYNAMICS HH LL BREAKOUT indicator identifies potential trend reversals and continuations by monitoring breakouts of the highest highs and lowest lows over a defined lookback period.

Usage

The indicator is primarily designed for positional trading on indices like Bank Nifty and Nifty, specifically on a 5-minute timeframe. It operates on a "flip" logic: when a long signal is triggered, the strategy enters a buy position; this position is held until a sell signal occurs, at which point the long position is closed and a short position is initiated.

Users can choose to trade only long, only short, or both directions using the "Strategy Direction" setting. The tool also includes built-in percentage-based stop loss and take profit levels to manage risk on every trade.

Details

The script functions as a non-repainting breakout strategy. It determines entry points based on the current price crossing the highest high or lowest low of the previous n bars (the Lookback). To filter out false breakouts, it utilizes a "Guard" mechanism which compares the recent peak/trough against a secondary high/low range (Guard Length and Offset). This ensures that a breakout is only signaled when the price pushes significantly beyond recent price action.
