Bjorgum Key Levels
Key Levels Aims to capture 3 of the most significant points in price action
Breakouts
False Breakouts (Traps)
Back Checks
These 3 points alone, if properly identified, can be some of the most significant points of movement in the price history of an asset and bring significant gains to traders, if capitalized on. Here are a few examples of these setups
Breakouts
Breakouts can bring significant rallies as the market swings one sided after key levels are breached. This entry type can bring large trending runs to follow. Momentum is on your side, but the trade off is a higher entry.
False Breakouts
Also known as a bull trap or a bear trap, false breaks can lead to swift and significant reversals and potential for a large and sudden move to the opposite side. When a key level breakout fails to hold, parties entering to capitalize on the "epic breakout" can get left holding the bag forcing them to exit at a loss, which can double the force of pressure. Traps can bring swift gains from good entry prices. However, price is still in a larger trend against you so momentum is weak, so price action is susceptible to roll over.
Backchecks
Back checks are pull backs in trend that find middle ground to the 2 areas already described. Both momentum and entry price are decent, but risk is defined as a key level has flipped offering entry with stops below demand, or above supply.
Combining these 3 methods helps to diversify risk, understand trend development, and bring steady gains. This script helps to identify these points to traders with analysis of key levels, price structure, and trend direction, while providing visual signals and alerts for when they occur.

Volume Status by BobRivera990This indicator is a tool that shows a relative view of the trading volume and classifies the volume into 5 different levels and makes it easy to compare it in different periods.
It is also specifically designed for detecting failed (fake) breakouts.
How it works?
This tool uses something similar to Bollinger Bands , but with more bands.
I used two standard deviations (positive and negative) on either side of a simple moving average ( SMA ) of the trading volume .
I also used twice the standard deviation (negative and positive) on either side of the SMA to create more bands.
The classification is made as follows:
Usage:
This indicator is a tool to compare the volume , relatively and in different periods. It is also a good tool for detecting failed (fake) breakouts.
Fake Breakouts Occurs when a support or resistance is broken but the market does not accept and support these price changes. This lack of support will cause trading volume to decrease during or after the breakout.
So, if the indicator shows Low-Volume or Minor-Volume status at the time of the breakout or right after that, it may be a fake breakout.
The truth is you cannot avoid false breakouts completely as long as you trade breakouts but you can minimize the risk and the loss.
Thank you all for forming this unique community.
Parameters:
" Volume SMA Length " => The length of the simple moving average of the Volume
