Description
The cTrader Swing Breakout Sequence indicator is inspired from Stoic Trader's trading model presented by Stoic himself here : Link to youtube video
This indicator implements a high probability entry model with a defined risk reward ratio. This entry model is based on a sequence of 5 swing sequence as illustrated on the image below
The image above represents the long model entry, for the short model entry, it is the inverse of this as we will see later
Examples
Here are few examples of how the indicator works:
On the below examples, you can see some instances of entry signals both long and short detected on the EURUSD instrument on the 1 Minute timeframe
On this first example you can observe 3 Swing Breakout Sequence on the EURUSD instrument. The sequences was triggered when the Swing 1 was broken at the bar marked with a red arrow.
Out of the 4 SBS Sequences, 3 are winning entry setups
On real-time mode, the sequence is only drawn when the breakout occurs. When the breakout is triggered the whole SBS pattern will be drawn along with a Sound Alert if you chose to activate the play sound parameter.
This second example illustrates a bullish pattern that was detected with the same parameters as the previous one but this SBS pattern was not a succes as the price immediately pulled back into the other direction.
Not all SBS sequences will be profitable. The SBS pattern is not perfect. The Quality Filter will filter out bas SBS instances, but there will be always bad ones that will be detected
This third example illustrates multiple winning entry setups on the 1 Minute EURUSD. This example uses Swing1 as the breakout swing

Parameters
We always try to keep the parameters to minimum.

| License | This is the license key you get when you create an account on automated-trading.ch. After creating an account, copy your license key from the billing page. You need to set this parameter only once, once the license key is validated it will be remembered. |
| Market Structure | |
| Swing Period | Swings are higher lows,higher highs, lower highs and lower lows. After each price bar close, a swing can be detected. But just after that, the next bar can cancel the swing at the previous bar by creating a new swing of the same type. Or this can happen on the second bar, or the third, etc... The swing period sets how many bars is enough to seperate two swings of the same type. The more you increase this parameter, the more you decrease the number of swings overall. The more you decrease this parameter, the more you increase the number of overall swings. I personally use the value of 3 or 4 for this parameter. |
