OPEN-SOURCE SCRIPT
BOS & CHoCH
A clean, no-nonsense market structure indicator that automatically detects Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH) on any asset and any timeframe.
How it works
The script tracks swing highs and lows using pivot detection. When price breaks the last swing level, it's labeled as:
BOS — break in the direction of the current trend (continuation)
CHoCH — break against the current trend (potential reversal)
Since the logic is fully relative (pivot-based, no fixed values), it behaves identically on crypto, forex, indices, or stocks — from 1-minute charts to weekly.
Features
- BOS & CHoCH detection with clear on-chart labels
- Break confirmation mode: Close (filters fakeouts) or Wick
- Dotted extension of unbroken swing highs/lows — these act as resting liquidity targets
- Optional trend background & bar coloring
- Alerts for all four events (Bullish/Bearish BOS & CHoCH)
- Non-repainting: once printed, labels never change
Settings
Swing Length — higher values = only major structure, lower = more granular
Break Confirmation — Close is recommended to avoid wick fakeouts
Market structure is the foundation of any SMC or orderflow-based approach. Use CHoCH as an early warning for trend shifts and BOS as confirmation of continuation ideally combined with your own confluence (liquidity sweeps, volume, higher timeframe bias).
