Part-time Day Trader
I build practical MT4 and MT5 tools that help traders follow consistent execution routines with more structure, discipline, and confidence.
Because consistency is the real edge behind any trading strategy — and without it, no strategy works. - Versione: 2.1

Never miss a clean candle-close break confirmation again without non-stop chart staring.
Bar Break Alerter lets traders activate a break alert directly on the chart, step away from the screen, and get notified when a valid confirmation appears.
Watching for break confirmations manually takes time and can easily lead to early FOMO entries, distraction, or missed signals when the trader is away for only a moment.
Bar Break Alerter helps solve this by monitoring the selected direction in the background and sending an alert when the break signal appears. The trader can then return to the chart and decide whether to take action or pass.
This makes it useful for Set and Forget trading workflows where the goal is to wait for confirmation without watching every candle.
Who this tool is for:
Traders who trade reversal setups.
Traders who use candle-close confirmation before entry.
Traders who want to avoid FOMO entries.
Traders who value structure, consistency, and long-term execution.
Traders who need more specific alert conditions than basic MetaTrader price alerts.
Key benefits
- Control when and where break alerts are active
- Reduce screen watching while waiting for confirmation
- Avoid FOMO entries before confirmation appears
- Avoid missing clean break confirmations
Tip: Clean break confirmations can be easily paper-tested in chart history!
Main features
2-button chart panel:
Activate monitoring instantly in the long or short direction from a clean on-chart panel.
One button activates a long-side break alert.
One button activates a short-side break alert.
Click the active button again to deactivate the alert.
Currently supports 6 confirmation break types:
Choose one break type in the input settings for consistent use:
Candle Body Break
Candle Wick Break
Fractal Break
Full Candle Fractal Break
Break of Structure (BoS)
Full Candle Break of Structure
These break types range from more aggressive to more conservative, allowing the tool to match different reversal and confirmation strategies.
Transparent chart markings:
The tool clearly marks the monitoring process on the chart, including:
- The active break level
- The original alert setup time (using a small bullet marker)
- The candle that triggered the break
This makes the alert logic easier to review, understand, and validate manually.
Reliable background operation:
Monitoring continues while changing charts or timeframes.
If the terminal is closed, the indicator checks on startup whether a valid break occurred during offline time and issues an alert immediately if applicable.
