ICT Breakers (BOS / MSS – Market Structure)
The Breakers (Market Structure) indicator is designed to help traders identify true breaker structures, a key concept in Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology. In market structure, Breakers represent powerful shifts where a key high or low is broken, leading to a reversal in market direction. Most tools misinterpret structure shifts, using internal structure, leading to fake breakouts. This tool solves that problem by filtering out false signals, providing clear & structured insights, all with multi-timeframe compatibility.
💎 Key Features
⚡️ Breakers in action
The indicator shows the structure following ICT instructions. A breaker is defined by two lines:
- The first line confirms the previous trend (it could be interpreted as a BOS).
- The second line highlights the moment price breaks structure (with candle body or wick based on your chosen settings), signaling a shift in trend direction (like an MSS).
Furthermore, it’s important to note that a breaker not only shows the structure, but also defines a potential Point of Interest (POI), an area where price may retrace before continuing its trend.
Here, we can observe two clear structure shifts.
On the far left, the market was in a bearish trend, illustrated by the first visible (dotted and red) line. Shortly after, the second (solid and green) line appears, showing a break that initiates a new bullish trend.
This upward movement continues, with the last confirmation marked by a top structure line. And finally, the structure is broken once again indicating a transition back into a bearish trend.
💪 Real Structure with True Highs / Lows
Unlike many indicators that detect internal breakouts, this tool follows ICT’s true market structure rules.
- In a bearish trend, a bullish breaker is only confirmed when the high that created the low is broken, and conversely for a bullish scenario.
- Fake breakouts are ignored, preventing misleading signals.
In the image above, the white breakout is correctly ignored by the indicator, as it doesn’t align with ICT’s structural rules. That white high is simply part of the internal structure, not the true swing point. Instead, the green line highlights the key level that truly matters, the one whose rupture would have confirmed a real change in market structure.
