This strategy is designed to demonstrate a structured breakout + retest approach using trend confirmation and volatility-based risk management. It is built for educational and research purposes to help traders understand how breakout continuation moves can be analyzed systematically.The logic focuses on identifying key breakout zones from recent highs and lows, then waiting for price confirmation in the direction of the prevailing trend before simulating entries.Core Logic Behind the StrategyUses a trend filter (EMA) to define directional biasIdentifies recent resistance and support using lookback highs/lowsWaits for breakout confirmation and retest behaviorApplies ATR-based stop loss and risk-to-reward target projection Designed for intraday charts such as 5M–15M (can be adjusted)The strategy aims to model how price often moves from one liquidity zone to another after breaking key levels. It avoids trading in consolidation and focuses only on confirmed directional moves.How It Works• Bullish conditions when price is above trend EMA• Bearish conditions when price is below trend EMA• Breakout of recent structure signals potential continuation• ATR used to simulate dynamic SL and TP levels• Built-in backtesting for study and optimizationImportant NotesThis script is a technical model for chart study and strategy development.It does not guarantee performance and should not be used as financial advice or a signal service.
