KS BoxBreakout + Supertrend Hybrid technical indicator
| This indicator free for first 100 user | |
|---|---|
- KS BoxBreakout — A volatility/volume-based range breakout detector.
- KS Supertrend — A classic ATR-based trend-following system.
The result is a multi-layered indicator that helps traders identify consolidation boxes, high-probability breakouts, and trend direction/strength at the same time.
Core Idea
While the BoxBreakout part detects when price is building energy inside a range (using normalized volatility and volume analysis) and signals explosive breakouts, the Supertrend part confirms the overall trend direction and filters false signals with dynamic ATR bands.
This merged version is especially useful for breakout traders, trend followers, and swing traders who want both structure (boxes) and momentum confirmation (Supertrend) on the same chart.
Key Features
1. BoxBreakout Component
- Detects consolidation boxes based on normalized volatility over a lookback period (inp_normLen + inp_boxLen).
- Uses a sophisticated volatility calculation (standard deviation of normalized price position) to identify low-volatility "coiling" periods.
- breakout filter (inp_strong): Triggers on close or midpoint of candle crossing the box.
- Visual elements:
- Colored rectangles showing the box (grey body + green/red volatility zones).
- Volume analysis inside the box (Volume / Comparison / Delta mode).
- Gauge on the current active box showing volume pressure (like a momentum meter).
- Automatic breakout arrows (green for upside, red for downside) when price breaks the box.
- Options for overlap allowance and history depth (inp_histDays).
2. Supertrend Component
- Classic ATR-based Supertrend with two calculation methods:
- Wilder’s ATR (smoother, default when ChangeATRMethod = true)
- Simple SMA of True Range
- Dynamic upper and lower bands that flip with trend changes.
- Visuals:
- Green line → Uptrend
- Red line → Downtrend
- Semi-transparent filling between price and the Supertrend line (green/red cloud) when Highlighting = true.
- Buy/Sell arrows on trend flips.
3. Combined Power
- You get breakout signals from BoxBreakout + trend confirmation from Supertrend.
- Clean chart with:
- Box rectangles + volume info
- Supertrend lines + fill
- Buy/Sell arrows from both systems
- Built-in alerts (sound + push notifications) for Supertrend flips (configurable).
