Block-Based Trend Breakout (YTK/DTK) – v1

anteontem

📌 Overview

Block Trend Breakout (YTK/DTK) is a lightweight, rule-based indicator that detects potential trend reversals or volatility bursts by tracking breakouts of key structural support/resistance levels — derived from block-wise trend patterns.

The logic is simple yet effective: if a trend has been confirmed across multiple blocks (custom-length bar groups), and the price breaks its own structural boundary, a potential reversal or volatility signal is triggered.

🟥 YTK (Uptrend Breakdown) → Price breaks below the lowest low of the most recent block in an uptrend.

🟩 DTK (Downtrend Breakout) → Price breaks above the highest high of the most recent block in a downtrend.

🔍 How It Works

Block Construction: User-defined bar groups (e.g., 6 bars on a 4H chart = 24H blocks).

Trend Validation: At least N consecutive blocks must show higher highs/lows (uptrend) or lower highs/lows (downtrend).

Breakout Test: If the current bar violates the structural limit (MR block high/low), the corresponding signal is plotted.

📉 This logic identifies weakening trends or failed momentum, often preceding reversals or volatility expansions.

⚙️ Features

Adjustable block size and trend confirmation count

Option to use only closed bars (to reduce repaint risk)

Inclusive mode for “<= / >=” logic

Visual signals:

MR Block high/low levels

Trend-colored bars

Arrows for YTK (🔻) and DTK (🔺)

Built-in alerts for automated strategies

🎯 Use Cases

Spotting fakeouts and false breakouts

Identifying trend exhaustion before reversal

Confirming structural support/resistance breaks

Visual tool for discretionary traders

Signal generator for automated systems

🟥 UTB (Uptrend Breakdown) → Price breaks below the lowest low of the most recent block in an uptrend.

🟩 DTB (Downtrend Breakout) → Price breaks above the highest high of the most recent block in a downtrend.
