1Middle line: the 20-candle average. Green = uptrend, red = downtrend, grey = no trend.

2Ladder bands: five thin lines each side of the middle line, in the same trend colour. They show how far price has pushed.

3Outer bands and shading: the Bollinger Bands. The light wash between them is the trend colour too.

4Candle colours: green = the candle closed up, red = it closed down.

5BUY STOP / SELL STOP line: an order waiting above a swing high (buy) or below a swing low (sell). Not a trade yet.

Use it in 5 steps

Switch it onOpen Charts → AI Scanners → tick BTM – Breakout. The bands turn green in an uptrend, red in a downtrend, grey with no trend.
Check the trendAn uptrend needs 3 of the last 5 candles above the middle line and BTM+ above BTM−. The readings panel then says BULLISH.
Spot the stop orderAfter a pullback, a dashed BUY STOP line appears above the last swing high. It cancels after 20 candles or if the trend flips.
Wait for the fillA candle must close above the line. It turns solid: FILLED LONG, with a red SL and green TP 3 times the risk away.
Let it finishEach trade runs until it touches its stop or its target, then turns grey: STOPPED OUT or TARGET HIT. Sells work the same way, upside down.

Golden rules

Learning? Only act once an order is FILLED on a closed candle, never on the dashed line alone.
Never skip the stop loss. Risk 1% of your account or less per trade.
Up to 10 trades can overlap. Add up the risk of every open trade, not just the newest.
Practise first with the Replay button: play old candles forward and trade them for free.

🔔 Get told when it fires: click Alerts, choose BTM – Breakout and tick “Buy stop filled (LONG)” and “Sell stop filled (SHORT)”.
