Broadening Formation + Failed 2 Candles This indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to identify potential trend reversals at the boundaries of Broadening Formations (BF). It combines structural pivot analysis with the "Failed 2" candle pattern (a variation of an outside-bar or stop-run reversal) to highlight zones of technical alignment. How it Works 1. Structural Detection (Broadening Formations) The script identifies market structure using pivot-based logic: * Auto Mode: Dynamically identifies Pivot Highs and Pivot Lows to plot the upper and lower boundaries of a broadening range. * Manual Mode: Allows users to input specific price levels for fixed horizontal support and resistance.   2. The "Failed 2" Reversal Pattern The script looks for specific price action exhaustion at the boundaries: * Failed 2 Down (Long): Occurs when a candle creates a New Low (taking out the previous candle's low) but reverses to close higher than its open (Bullish). * Failed 2 Up (Short): Occurs when a candle creates a New High (taking out the previous candle's high) but reverses to close lower than its open (Bearish). 3. Proximity Filtering The Proximity Engine acts as a filter. A label will appear and will only be valid if the price is within a user-defined threshold of the BF lines. Users can define this "strike zone" via: * Percent / Points / Ticks: Static distance from the level. * ATR Multiple: Volatility-adjusted distance, ensuring the zone expands or contracts based on current market conditions. Key Features * On-chart Visualization of Stop and Target Reference Levels: On-chart plotting of Stop Loss and Profit Targets (Target modes include Opposing BF Line, 50% Range, or Fixed Amount). * Real-Time Statistics: An on-screen dashboard tracks Win Rate, Hit/Fail counts, and Risk-to-Reward ratios for the last N bars. Statistics reflect historical signal outcomes only and do not predict future performance. * Visual Customization: Fully adjustable markers, line styles, and table positioning to fit any chart layout. * Alerts: Integrated alert functionality for Long and Short triggers. Usage Note This tool is intended to help identify structural exhaustion. Like all technical indicators, it is most effective when used in conjunction with other forms of analysis (such as volume or higher-timeframe trend context). It does not constitute financial advice.

Broadening Formation Structure Review Tool This script provides an educational, checklist-based framework for studying Broadening Formations together with basic Strat-style reversal behavior and higher-timeframe direction. It is designed to show multiple structural conditions in one place so users can observe how they interact. It does not execute trades, generate signals, or provide financial advice. What makes this script original is the integration of four components into a single logical framework: • dynamic tracking of Broadening Formation high/low levels • proximity evaluation relative to those levels • classification of simple bar reversal behavior • higher-timeframe open–close continuity checks Instead of using these concepts as separate tools, the script combines them into a single checklist so users can see when multiple conditions occur at the same time. Broadening Formation levels may be user-defined or automatically derived using: • unlimited dynamic expansion • range-limited dynamic expansion • swing-pivot detection • manual input mode Users may also optionally lock levels once a structure is identified. Proximity to BF levels can be measured in several ways, including percentage, ticks, points, dollars, ATR multiples, or expected-move multiples. The script can also detect when price takes out BF highs or lows. The script classifies basic Strat-style price behavior, including: • two-up / two-down moves • outside bars • failed 2U/2D reversals • 2D→2U and 2U→2D reversals A selectable higher timeframe (such as 60, 240, D, W, or M) is used to evaluate direction by comparing the higher-timeframe open and close. The on-chart table summarizes: • current BF High and BF Low levels • proximity status relative to those levels • whether BF highs or lows have been taken out • reversal classification results • higher-timeframe direction • theoretical risk distance and 2R/3R projections Optional alerts can notify when three-condition or four-condition checklist alignment occurs, based only on the logical rules visible in the script. Optional chart lines for BF levels may also be displayed. Transparency and behavior notes • swing pivots repaint until confirmed • higher-timeframe direction is only final at bar close • dynamically derived BF levels may update as price forms new extremes This script is intended purely for market-structure study and education. It does not guarantee performance, predict outcomes, or recommend trades.

Expansion Triangle [TradingFinder] MegaPhone Broadening 🔵 Introduction The Expanding Triangle, also known as the Broadening Formation, is one of the key technical analysis patterns that clearly reflects growing market volatility, increasing indecision among participants, and the potential for sharp price explosions. This pattern is typically defined by a sequence of higher highs and lower lows, forming within two diverging trendlines. Unlike traditional triangles that converge to a breakout point, the expanding triangle pattern becomes wider over time, leaving no precise apex for a breakout to occur. From a price action perspective, the pattern represents a prolonged tug-of-war between buyers and sellers, where neither side has taken control yet. Each aggressive swing opens the door to new opportunities whether it's a trend reversal, range trading, or a momentum breakout. This dual nature makes the pattern highly versatile across market conditions, from exhausted trend ends to volatile consolidation zones. The custom-built indicator for this pattern uses a combination of smart algorithms and detailed analysis of swing dynamics to automatically detect expanding triangles and highlight low-risk entry points. Traders can use this tool to capitalize on high-probability setups from shorting near the upper edge of the structure with confirmation, to trading bearish breakouts during trend continuations, or entering long positions near the lower boundary during bullish reversals. The chart examples included in this article demonstrate these three highly practical trading scenarios in live market conditions. A major advantage of this indicator lies in its structural filtering engine, which analyzes the behavior of each price leg in the triangle. With four adjustable filter levels from Very Aggressive, which highlights all potential patterns, to Very Defensive, which only triggers when price actually touches the triangle's trendlines the indicator ensures that only structurally sound and verified setups appear on the chart, reducing noise and false signals significantly. Long Setup : Short Setup : 🔵 How to Use The pattern typically forms in conditions of heightened uncertainty and volatility, where price swings generate a series of higher highs and lower lows. The expanding triangle consists of three key legs bounded by diverging trendlines. The indicator intelligently analyzes each leg's direction and angle to determine whether a valid pattern is forming. At the core of the indicator’s logic is its leg filtering system, which controls the quality of the pattern and filters out weak or noisy setups. Four structural filter modes are available to suit different trading styles and risk preferences. In Very Aggressive mode, filters are disabled, and the indicator detects any pattern purely based on the sequence of swing points. This mode is ideal for traders who want to see everything and apply their own discretion. In Aggressive mode, the indicator checks whether each new leg extends no more than twice the length of the previous one. If a leg overshoots excessively, the structure is invalidated. In Defensive mode, the filter enforces a minimum movement requirement each leg must move at least 2% of the previous one. This prevents the formation of shallow, weak patterns that visually resemble triangles but lack substance. The strictest setting, Very Defensive, combines all previous filters and additionally requires the price to physically touch the triangle’s trendlines before issuing a signal. This ensures that setups only appear when real market interaction with key structural levels has occurred, not based on assumptions or geometry alone. This mode is ideal for traders seeking maximum precision and minimal risk. 🟣 Bullish Setup A bullish setup within the Expanding Triangle pattern occurs when price revisits the lower support boundary after a series of broad swings typically near the third leg of the formation. This area often represents a shift in momentum, where sellers begin to lose strength and buyers prepare to take control. Ideally, the setup is accompanied by a bullish reversal candle (e.g. doji, pin bar, or engulfing) near the lower trendline. If the Very Defensive filter is active, the indicator will only issue a signal if price makes a confirmed touch on the trendline and reacts from that level. This significantly improves signal accuracy and filters out premature entries. After confirmation, traders may choose to enter a long position on the bullish candle or shortly afterward. A logical stop-loss is placed just below the recent swing low within the pattern. The target can be set at or near the upper trendline, or projected using the full height of the triangle added to the breakout point. On higher timeframes, this reversal often marks the beginning of a strong uptrend. 🟣 Bearish Setup A bearish setup forms when price climbs toward the upper resistance trendline, usually as the third leg completes. This is where buyers often begin to show exhaustion, and sellers step in with strength providing an ideal low-risk entry point for short positions. As with the bullish setup, if the Candle Confirmation filter is enabled, the indicator will only show a signal when a bearish reversal candle forms at the point of contact. If Defensive or Very Defensive filters are also active, the setup must meet strict criteria of proportionate leg movement and an actual trendline touch to qualify. Once confirmed, traders can enter on the reversal candle, placing a stop-loss slightly above the recent high. The target can be set at the lower trendline or calculated based on the triangle's full height, projected downward. This setup is particularly useful at the end of weak bullish trends or in volatile market tops. 🔵 Settings 🟣 Logic Settings Pivot Period : Defines how many bars are analyzed to identify swing highs and lows. Higher values detect larger, slower structures, while lower values respond to faster patterns. The default value of 13 offers a balanced sensitivity. Pattern Filter : Very Aggressive : Detects all patterns based on point sequence with no structural checks. Aggressive : Ensures each leg is no more than 2x the size of the previous one. Defensive : Requires each leg to be at least 2% the size of the previous leg. Very Defensive : The strictest level; only confirms patterns when price touches trendlines. Candle Confirmation : When enabled, the indicator requires a valid confirmation candle (doji, pin bar, engulfing) at the interaction point with the trendline before issuing a signal. This reduces false entries and improves entry precision. 🟣 Alert Settings Alert : Enables alerts for SSS. Message Frequency : Determines the frequency of alerts. Options include 'All' (every function call), 'Once Per Bar' (first call within the bar), and 'Once Per Bar Close' (final script execution of the real-time bar). Default is 'Once per Bar'. Show Alert Time by Time Zone : Configures the time zone for alert messages. Default is 'UTC'. 🔵 Conclusion The Expanding Triangle pattern, with its wide structure and volatility-driven nature, represents chaos but also opportunity. For traders who can read its behavior, it provides some of the most powerful setups for reversals, breakouts, and range-based trades. While the pattern may seem messy at first glance, it is built on clear logic and when properly detected, it offers high-probability opportunities. This indicator doesn’t just draw expanding triangles it intelligently evaluates their structural quality, validates price interaction through candle confirmation, and allows the trader to fine-tune the detection logic through adjustable filter levels. Whether you’re a reversal trader looking for a turning point, or a breakout trader hunting momentum, this tool adapts to your strategy. In volatile or uncertain markets, where fakeouts and sudden shifts are common, this indicator can become a cornerstone of your trading system helping you turn volatility into structured, high-quality opportunities.

Broadening Formations [QuantVue]Broadening formations are common chart patterns observed by technical traders. A broadening formation is formed when the volatility of an asset increases, thus expanding the range of its price resulting in higher highs and lower lows. The Broadening Trendline indicator, works by looking for pivot points where a higher high or lower low is made compared to the previous pivot point. If a top and bottom line are detected a broadening formation is formed. Indicator includes alerts, custom colors and styles, the ability to see previous trendlines, and notifications when a trendline is crossed. Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns. We hope you enjoy! Cheers.

Broadening Formations [TFO]This indicator highlights deviations from broadening formations (or megaphone patterns). Deviations from broadening ranges can often foreshadow reversals, especially in consolidation phases. These deviations are highlighted via trendlines that change color when tested, and also have the option to be alerted. These broadening formations are heavily used with "The Strat" and can add confluence when looking for reversals within higher timeframe points of interest.
