SteelyBreakRetest

Finds the cleanest pattern in price action — a level breaks, price comes back to test it, and the level holds — and scores each occurrence across a full stack of confluences. It resolves every setup into one of three quality tiers and surfaces a tier-coded signal with sound, flash, and alert. One control sets how picky the whole engine is.

Reading the Tool

A graded break-and-retest checklist

Confluence checks, tier labels, and presets that control how selective the display is.

Keep in mind: A tier reports agreement with the configured rules. It is not a verified success rate or a recommendation to enter.

The Confluence Stack

Seven Factors, One Tier Grade

Every break-and-retest is scored against the full stack. The live HUD shows this checklist bar by bar, so the boxes that are ticked are visible before a signal appears.

Stage
What It Checks
Trend
Direction agreement with the prevailing move.
VWAP
Price on the correct side of session VWAP.
EMA 9 / 20
Short-term moving-average alignment.
POC
Relationship to the volume point of control.
Stack Zone
Clustering of levels reinforcing the retest.
Volume
Breakout volume relative to average.
Pin Bar
Rejection-candle confirmation at the retest.

More aligned factors mean a higher tier — A+, PRIME, or STANDARD. The Signal Preset sets how picky the whole engine is, from one dial.

What It Does

What It Does

Anyone can see a breakout. The edge is in the retest — does price return to the broken level and respect it, or slice straight back through?

SteelyBreakRetest checks the retest against volume, trend, and other configured conditions. The resulting grade describes that agreement; it does not establish the likelihood of a successful trade.

And because every trader's tolerance for "clean enough" differs, strictness sits on a single dial — Conservative, Standard, or Aggressive — instead of a dozen thresholds to hand-tune.

Important Notice: This indicator is a non-customized charting tool provided for educational and informational market analysis only. It highlights conditions that meet proprietary analytical criteria and does not constitute financial advice, trading recommendations, or a solicitation to buy or sell any instrument. All signal output is analytical in nature. Users remain solely responsible for whether, when, and how they trade. Past performance of any analytical method is not indicative of future results.

SteelyBreakRetest — On the Chart
Tier-Coded Signals
A+, PRIME, and STANDARD markers, each with its own color, sound, and screen flash — so a tier reads at a glance without studying the chart twice.
Confluence Checklist HUD
A live readout of Trend, VWAP, EMA, POC, Stack, and Volume, plus the current setup and signal state. The verdict is never a mystery.
Breakout Lines
Broken levels drawn on the chart with configurable cleanup — keep all, remove on signal fire, on setup expire, or on either — plus a max-lines cap so the chart stays readable.
One Knob, Whole Engine
The Signal Preset is the headline feature. Conservative tightens every threshold — breakout size, volume multiple, body ratio, retest tolerance, wick pierce — for fewer, cleaner reads; Aggressive loosens them; Custom opens each threshold for manual tuning.
Auto-Scaling & Alerts
Defaults auto-scale by chart period so they make sense on a 1-minute or a 5-minute chart, with tier-coded sounds, NT8 alert popups, and email alerts.
Use Cases

How Traders Use It

For traders who get chopped up taking every retest. The tiering and the one-knob preset turn a noisy pattern into a graded, repeatable read.

🏆

Trade Only the Best Tier

Require A+ Only filters the chart to premium, full-confluence setups — or watch all three tiers develop to study what separates them.

🎚️

Strictness in One Move

The Conservative / Standard / Aggressive preset shifts every threshold at once; Custom opens each one for fine control when wanted.

Read the Checklist First

The confluence HUD shows Trend, VWAP, EMA, POC, Stack, and Volume bar by bar, so the basis for a tier is visible before the marker appears.
