Fake break

2022년 7월 5일

Hi Traders,
I've developed an indicator which can detect fake-breaks on the chart.
In the following you'll find the definition of the fake break candles and also you will find how to recognize it on the chart with practical examples.

What is the fake break pattern?
Sometimes support and resistance lines broke with a full body and strong candles that gives us the idea of sharp movements on the chart but suddenly the next candle returns all the path of the previous candle. in this case we can say fake break is happening on the chart.

This indicator detect fake break patterns based on two criteria:
1. It uses AverageTrueRange indicator to measure the strength of the pattern.
2. The returning candle should engulf minimum 75% of the break candle.

This indicator plot 2 terms in the name of "FB-D" and "FB-U" that are abbreviations of the "Fake Break Down" and "Fake Break Up".

You can also set alerts to get notified when fake breakout happens on the chart.

Notice: This pattern is only acceptable in valid support and resistance zones and you can not rely on it everywhere on the chart (specially in the middle of the waves).

Notice: The source code of this indicator is open and you are allowed to use it on your scripts by mentioning the name of author.
