Description
█ OVERVIEWPineLine™ Volatility Breakout detects explosive price moves by identifying periods of compression (low volatility) followed by expansion (breakout). It combines Bollinger Band squeeze detection, Keltner Channel compression, range breakouts, and volume confirmation.The idea is simple: volatility compresses → energy builds → price explodes. This strategy catches that explosion.█ HOW IT WORKSTwo breakout detection methods run simultaneously:METHOD 1: BOLLINGER SQUEEZE BREAKOUT• When Bollinger Bands contract inside Keltner Channels = "squeeze" (building energy)• Red dots appear at chart bottom during squeeze• Green dot = squeeze releases• Entry triggers when price breaks BB upper/lower on squeeze releaseMETHOD 2: RANGE BREAKOUT• Identifies tight consolidation ranges (< 3% of price)• Draws dashed box around consolidation• Entry triggers when price breaks above/below the range with volume confirmation█ FILTERSEvery signal is filtered through:✓ Volume spike confirmation (1.5x average volume)✓ 200 EMA trend filter (only trade with the trend)✓ Linear regression momentum direction✓ Optional session filter█ RISK MANAGEMENT• ATR-based dynamic SL (adapts to volatility)• Configurable Risk:Reward ratio (default 1:2)• Auto-breakeven at 1R — once price moves 1x ATR in your favor, SL moves to entry• No pyramiding (one position at a time)█ DASHBOARDOn-chart dashboard shows:• Squeeze status (BUILDING vs RELEASED)• Bollinger Band width percentage• Current range size• Volume spike detection• Trend direction• ATR value█ RECOMMENDED SETTINGSTimeframes: 15M, 1H, 4HBest for: Crypto (BTC, ETH), Indices (NAS100, SPX500), GoldLookback: 20 bars (default)SL: 2.0x ATRTP: 2.0 R:R ratio█ AUTOMATIONAuto-execute breakout signals on MetaTrader 4/5 with PineLine:1.
