What It Does

Analytical Overview

The break-and-retest pattern is one of the most consistently powerful structural setups in trading. SteelyBreakRetest is dedicated to identifying these conditions, but goes well beyond simple pattern recognition.

Each detected condition is classified into one of three quality tiers — A+ (premium, highest-confluence), PRIME (strong-confluence standard), or STANDARD (basic pattern match) — based on the alignment of multiple analytical filters. The trader sees tier classification immediately and can act according to their personal conviction threshold.

Internal filters include EMA context, VWAP relationship, POC alignment, volume signature, and pin-bar confirmation — each layered into the tier grade. Stack-zone detection adds another dimension, identifying setups where multiple structural levels reinforce one another at the retest point.
