Bollinger Breakout with Levels

Bollinger Breakout with Stop-Loss Levels

Description

This indicator tracks breakouts of the upper and lower Bollinger Bands and automatically displays dynamic entry lines and stop-loss levels on the chart. The lines dynamically extend to the current candle, allowing visual tracking of signal relevance.

• Lower Breakout (RED) – sell signal (bearish breakout)

2. Dynamic Lines

• Breakout and stop-loss lines automatically extend to the current candle

• Lines update with each new bar while maintaining the historical entry point

3. Stop-Loss Levels

• Automatic stop-loss calculation based on specified number of points

• Price monitoring and automatic line removal when stop-loss is triggered

4. Visual Elements

Operating Logic

1. Breakout Detection

• When a candle closes above the upper Bollinger Band – buy signal

• When a candle closes below the lower Bollinger Band – sell signal

2. Level Setting

• For long positions (upper breakout):

  • Entry price = closing price of the candle

  • Stop-loss = entry price - (points × Point)

• For short positions (lower breakout):

  • Entry price = closing price of the candle

  • Stop-loss = entry price + (points × Point)

3. Position Monitoring

• The indicator continuously tracks current prices

• When a stop-loss level is reached, corresponding lines are automatically removed

• Detailed event messages are printed to the journal

4. Dynamic Updates

• Lines extend to the current moment in time

• When a new signal appears, old lines are replaced with new ones

Advantages
