Custom % Breakout Highlight
The "Custom % Breakout Highlight" indicator in Pine Script is designed to visually identify candles that experience a significant percentage price change relative to a user-defined threshold. The primary goal of this indicator is to highlight candles that surpass a specified percentage breakout level, signaling potential price movements or shifts in market dynamics.
Parameters:
Percentage Breakout: Users can input a desired percentage value to define the threshold for identifying breakout candles. This parameter allows customization based on the trader's preference or the specific characteristics of the instrument being analyzed.
How it works:
The script calculates the percentage change in the closing price of each candle compared to the closing price of the previous candle.
It then checks whether the absolute value of this percentage change exceeds the user-defined percentage breakout threshold.
If the condition is met, the script highlights the corresponding candles by displaying a blue background in a new pane at the low of the breakout candle.
Interpretation:
Highlighted Candles: Candles with a background color indicate instances where the price change exceeds the defined percentage breakout level. Traders may interpret these highlighted candles as potential breakout or significant price movement signals.
