Body Candle Breakout
- Indicators
- Version: 1.0
BodyCandleBreakout is a clean, price-action-based indicator that instantly identifies when the current candle's close price breaks beyond the body (high or low) of the previous candle. No repainting. No lag. Just pure, objective breakout signals directly on your chart.
🎯 Overview
Breakouts are among the most reliable price-action signals in trading. But not all breakouts are created equal. BodyCandleBreakout focuses specifically on body breaks — when price closes above the previous candle's body high or below its body low. This filter eliminates false breakouts caused by wicks and market noise, giving you cleaner, more actionable signals.
The indicator plots two dynamic reference lines:
-
Body High (blue, dashed) – the higher of previous Open/Close
-
Body Low (orange, dashed) – the lower of previous Open/Close
When the current candle closes beyond these levels (with a user-defined minimum distance), the indicator instantly marks a Buy or Sell signal with clear arrows on the chart.
⚡ Key Features
-
Pure Price Action – No complex algorithms or repainting. Signals are based solely on closed candle body breaks.
-
Non-Repainting – Signals are generated only after the candle closes. What you see is final.
-
Two Clear Reference Lines – Blue dashed line for Body High, orange dashed line for Body Low. Always visible for quick visual reference.
-
Buy & Sell Arrows – Green upward arrow (▲) for buy signals, red downward arrow (▼) for sell signals. Customizable colors and sizes.
-
Minimum Breakout Distance Filter – Set a minimum distance (in points) that price must exceed the level to trigger a signal. Eliminates marginal, low-confidence breaks.
-
Adjustable Arrow Offset – Position arrows above/below candles for optimal chart visibility.
-
Fully Customizable Visuals – Colors, line styles, widths, and arrow sizes are all user-configurable.
🔧 How It Works
-
The indicator identifies the body of each closed candle — the range between Open and Close.
-
It plots two horizontal levels for the previous candle's body:
-
Body High = max(Open, Close) of previous candle
-
Body Low = min(Open, Close) of previous candle
-
-
When the current candle closes:
-
Above Body High + MinBreakoutDist → Buy Signal (green up arrow)
-
Below Body Low − MinBreakoutDist → Sell Signal (red down arrow)
-
-
Signals are plotted once and remain on the chart for reference.
