The Three Line Break chart, introduced by Steve Nison, is an excellent trend indicator, because it filters the minor movements and highlights the significant ones, and it appears to be one of the most reliable trend-follower indicators so far developed. The type of chart in question is very similar to the Renko chart.

The Three Line Break chart is a chart that is simple to construct, but which can be very useful for identifying the market phase in which you are.

The first box is drawn by drawing a rectangle which has the opening price as a low base and the closing price as a high base; the color will coincide with the one we have chosen to identify the bullish sessions: in our case green.
The next box will be traced only if a closure is recorded that is higher than the maximum value of the previous box or lower than the minimum value of the previous box: in the first case a new green box will be drawn, which will extend up to the new closing price; in the second case, a new red box will be drawn, which will extend up to the new closing price.
As you can guess, the Three Line Break chart is completely independent of the time factor.
The name of this type of graphic representation derives from the fact that, according to the classic interpretation, the presence of three consecutive green boxes represent the beginning of a new uptrend, while the presence of three consecutive red boxes represent the beginning of a new bearish trend.

In this strategy the Three Line break chart is used with the MT4 trend indicator par excellence with slow setting to try to identify only long movements but at the same time trying to have a profitability greater than 50% than for a trend following trading system it means to be profitable, considering that the profit ratio stop loss is at least 1: 1.5.
