The Breakout Bars Trend Metatrader 5 forex indicator was designed as an alternative to Moving Averages in a bid to concisely define trend direction.
The indicator is a sort of “fusion” between the iMovment indicator and a linear reversal.
What’s more, the delta (the reversal parameter) value on the Breakout Bars Trend technical indicator is not plotted based on the close price, rather the high and low is deployed for this purpose.
Seemingly, another condition that determines the reversal is the breakthrough bar i.e. breakthrough of a specific price level, asides the delta.
