Overview

Candle Breaks 1v1 L+S identifies when the current candle closes beyond the open of the prior opposite-color candle, calculates a 1.618 Fibonacci extension target based on the previous candle's range, and plots labels displaying entry, target, and percentage difference. A percentage threshold filter filters out smaller setups, and candle duration checks prevent false signals caused by session rollovers or mismatched timeframes.

Risk Notes

No repainting, lookahead or stacked entries were found in its code or README. That says nothing about how well it works: test it first.

Third-party code. ForexR did not write, test or endorse this script, and the summary above was generated automatically from its code and README. Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints. Check it in the Strategy Tester and on a demo account before you rely on it.
