Koalafied MSB (CHOCH)
Indicator will show market structure breaks (MSB) - higher lows being broken in an uptrend and vice versa for lower highs in a downtrend.
These levels are derived from user selected pivot lengths and are plotted on the chart after the break for reference.
User option to filter MSB by the principles of a CHOCH - Change of Character which represents a possible change in market direction. A CHOCH requires a filter to be valid. The previous pivot high needs to be broken first putting in a higher high. Then if there's a break of the previous higher low the CHOCH is validated. Traders will then wait for a pullback for a retest of an orderblock/level before entering in a reversal trade. Additionally the CHOCH pullback target level, which is the candle/orderblock at the pivot prior to the MSB will be displayed and kept onscreen until broken.
As MSB are based on pivot points there is an inherent lag built into the script. The user selected length that the pivots are calculated on requires a number of bars to pass before a pivot is confirmed. Market Structure Breaks typically occur multiple bars after a pivot point so the offset isn't typically an issue, although occasionally a pivot will be validated after a MSB and it's offset plot will place it prior to the MSB.
