Line break charts
Lines (blocks) that extend the trend with every new closing high or low and reverse only when the last few lines are broken.
La idea en pocas palabras
The classic three-line break adds a new line in the trend's direction whenever the close goes beyond the last line. The trend reverses only when the close breaks the extreme of the last three lines.
Cómo se calcula
Built from the closes of the timeframe on screen. Lines to break: 3 by default (⚙).
Up trend: new up line if close > last close; reversal if close < lowest of the last N lines
Down trend: mirror imageCómo usarlo
- Spotting trend reversals with fewer false signals than candles.
- A long run of same-coloured lines = strong trend.
Sacar conclusiones
- Lines are not time based: a quiet week can add no line.
Ejemplo
US500 daily: eight green lines, then a close below the lowest of the last three lines draws the first red line.

Ten cuidado con
- Reversal signals come late by design.
