R-Breaker Pivot Levels for Breakout and Reversal Trading

Summary

This R-Breaker implementation calculates a central pivot and three support and resistance levels from the previous candle's high, low and close. It compares current price and the current session's high and low with those levels to generate breakout and reversal conditions. A move above the upper resistance can lead to buying; a move below the lowest support or specified resistance rejection can lead to selling. The strategy checks account holdings before trading and reports account value and profit estimates during operation.

The source provides executable logic but no backtest configuration or performance evidence. Its trading behavior is also asymmetric: the buy routine acquires the asset, while the sell routine liquidates existing holdings, so the comments describing shorting do not correspond to actual short exposure. The buy and sell triggers should therefore be understood as inventory-based actions rather than a complete long-short system. The document gives no systematic stop-loss or position-sizing framework, and its account valuation and profit calculations depend on current prices and initial state. These limits make independent testing and careful review important before relying on the signals.

Key ideas

• The strategy derives pivot, support and resistance levels from the prior candle's high, low and close.
• Current price and session extremes are compared with those levels to identify breakout and reversal conditions.
• The implementation buys the asset and sells existing holdings, rather than opening short positions.
• No backtest results or systematic stop-loss framework are provided.
• Reported account value and profit depend on the script's price and account calculations.
