4# Breakout with Market Structure Breaker . TradingView Strategy
Submit by Maximo Trader
In this breakout strategy, we focus solely on trading breakouts using the Market Structure Breaker and Order Block (by Emerekb) indicator, while hiding the Market Structure Breaker boxes to keep the chart clean. The aim is to capture price movements that occur immediately after a breakout, when the market shifts direction or momentum, combined with confirmation from the Trend Meter. The order block zones will help identify key areas of interest for possible retracements or breakout continuation, but we will trade only on clear breakouts beyond those levels.
Setup
Time Frame 15 min or higher.
Currency pairs: volatile.
Indicators Used:
-
Market Structure Breaker and Order Block (by Emerekb) – To identify market structure shifts and key breakout levels.
-
Trend Meter – To confirm the overall trend direction across multiple timeframes.
Buy Breakout Trade Rules:
-
Market Structure Break:
-
Wait for a Bullish Market Structure Break (MSB) from the Market Structure Breaker indicator. This indicates that a significant price level has been broken to the upside.
-
-
Price Breakout Above the Order Block:
-
Price candle close above green line on the main chart.
-
Wait for the price to break above the identified green line on the chart. This confirms that price has broken resistance and signals potential continuation in the upward direction.
-
-
Trend Meter Confirmation:
-
The Trend Meter should show a green signal on at least 3 out of 4 timeframes. This confirms that the breakout aligns with the overall bullish trend across multiple timeframes.
-
-
Entry Point:
-
Enter a Buy trade immediately after the price closes above the green line. This confirms that the breakout is valid and not a false breakout.
-
-
Stop Loss:
-
Place the Stop Loss below the previous swing low. This helps protect against potential fakeouts or retracements.
-
-
Take Profit:
-
Set your Take Profit at a 1:1.2 Risk/Reward Ratio or target the next significant resistance level, whichever comes first.
-
Sell Breakout Trade Rules:
-

-
-
Entry Point:

Enter a Sell trade immediately after the price closes below the red line. This ensures that the breakout has been validated and is not a false signal.
-
-
Stop Loss:

Place the Stop Loss just above the breakout level or above the swing high. This will help limit your risk in case of a sudden reversal or fakeout.
-
-
Take Profit:
-
Set your Take Profit at a 1:1,2 Risk/Reward Ratio or target the next significant support level, whichever comes first.
-
Additional Guidelines for Breakout Trading:
-
No Retests Required:
-
Unlike traditional trading setups that require a price retest of the order block zone, this strategy is focused purely on trading the breakout. We do not wait for price to return to the breakout level or order block.
-
-
Avoid Ranging Markets:
-
This breakout strategy works best in trending or volatile markets. Avoid trading during sideways consolidation periods, as breakouts are more likely to fail in those conditions.
-
-
Strong Breakout Candles:
-
Look for strong momentum candles at the breakout point (e.g., long candles with minimal wicks) as this indicates a higher probability of continuation in the direction of the breakout.
-
-
Risk Management:
-
Always use proper risk management, risking only a small percentage of your capital per trade (e.g., 1-2%). Stick to the 1:1.2 Risk/Reward Ratio to ensure that profits outweigh losses.
Examples of trades.

Conclusion:
This breakout trading strategy is designed to capture strong directional moves when the market breaks through significant levels of support or resistance, as identified by the Market Structure Breaker and Order Block indicators. The Trend Meter is used as an additional filter to ensure that trades are taken in the direction of the overall trend, improving the success rate of breakouts.
By focusing solely on breakouts and eliminating retests or unnecessary noise, this strategy allows traders to enter the market with confidence and manage risk effectively.
