Harmonic Breaker Trend Follower

Thesis

Harmonic patterns represent price exhaustion points, but they are prone to failure if traded against the primary trend or during low-volatility 'fakeouts'. By filtering these patterns with Bollinger Band expansion, SMA trend alignment, and ICT-based 'Breaker Block' support/resistance, we can identify high-probability reversal nodes where institutional liquidity is likely to protect the trade.

Components

• Moving Averages (Multi-Method) (regime) — Determines the long-term directional bias to ensure trades align with the prevailing trend.
• Bulls Power (Elder-ray) (direction) — Confirms that momentum is returning in the direction of the trend after a retracement.
• Custom Pattern Detection (entry) — Identifies specific harmonic exhaustion points (CD/DE legs) to trigger entries at high-probability reversal zones.
• Risk Reward Indicator Tool (exit) — Calculates static exit targets based on fixed mathematical ratios to maintain positive expectancy.
• SNAP HTF_LTF Indicator (risk) — Uses 4H Breaker Blocks and Weekly Liquidity pools to set hard stop-loss levels and filter out trades within low-liquidity zones.
• Bollinger Bands (volatility_filter) — Filters out entries during low-volatility 'squeezes' where pattern reliability drops.

Known failure conditions

• Price consistently breaches 4H Breaker Blocks without trend reversal.
• Harmonic patterns frequently fail to reach the 1.5 RR target before hitting the SL.
• High-volatility news events render the fixed Fib ratios of the pattern detector obsolete.
