I got many requests for a Breakout script and here it’s. This script searches the breakouts/breakdowns and draw square if there is one.
The options:
“Period” is used to find Pivot Points
“Max Breakout Length” is the maximum length to search breakouts
“Threshold Rate %” is channel width of the breakout area. calculated using highest/lowest of last 300 bars.
“Minimum Number of Tests” is the minimum number of tests that the Price tried to break the S/R level
and some options for coloring and linestyle
