Flat Breakout Detector
🔹 English Description
Flat Breakout Detector is an indicator designed to highlight when the market shifts from flat, sideways trading into active movement.
Originality: Unlike standard trend or volatility tools, this script focuses on detecting abnormal volatility expansions compared to previous candles. Since around 80% of the time the market stays in flat ranges, the real opportunities often appear when price leaves consolidation. The indicator identifies these volatility anomalies, which may signal the start of a trend or a breakout.
What it does: The script measures the relative distance of price extremes from a moving average and applies a Z-score transformation. This helps traders spot volatility spikes that stand out from the prior market behavior. In simple terms: when volatility expands unusually, the indicator highlights it as a potential breakout moment.
How to use:
Ideal for traders working with consolidation/breakout patterns.
Works best as a scanner/alert system: when a signal appears, open the chart, analyze the setup, and decide whether it fits your trading strategy.
Not every signal means entry — sometimes volatility expansion happens inside the flat.
If the setup matches your strategy, place limit orders or enter at market; if not, ignore the signal and wait for the next one.
⚠️ Disclaimer: This is not a buy/sell signal generator. It only highlights moments of volatility expansion and possible breakouts. Always combine it with your own technical and volume analysis before making trading decisions.
