Edo Breaker Blocks maps one of the most useful patterns in structure analysis: breaker blocks, order blocks that have failed and, in doing so, have inverted their role. A demand order block that is lost stops being support and starts acting as resistance; a supply order block that is taken out stops being a cap and starts acting as support. The indicator does not draw every order block. It stores the block that originated each break of structure as a latent candidate and only draws it — as a bullish breaker in teal below price, or a bearish breaker in red above — when price closes through it and confirms the polarity inversion. From there each breaker is tracked on every closed bar: Active while untouched, Tested when price returns and respects it, Failed when price closes through it and the box turns dashed. A compact panel counts the live breakers on each side. No higher-timeframe functions and no repainting.

Watch it in action

Features

Draws only the order blocks that fail and invert their role — a lost support that becomes resistance or a taken-out resistance that becomes support — never the unconfirmed candidates
Two breaker types by direction of the flip: bullish breakers (former resistance, now support) in teal below price and bearish breakers (former support, now resistance) in red above
Each breaker drawn as a box over the range of the candle that originated the impulse, extended to the right and labelled Bull Breaker or Bear Breaker
Three states evaluated on every closed bar: Active (thin border), Tested (price returned and respected the zone, thicker border) and Failed (price closed through it, dashed and faded box that stops extending)
Three structure profiles from a single input — Scalper (5 bars each side), Swing (10, the default) and Long Term (21) — plus an Impulse Lookback that sets how recent the order block has to be
Compact panel with the number of active bullish breakers, active bearish breakers and the total of live zones, in the same teal / red code
Only the most recent breakers per side are kept (Max Breakers per side, 6 by default), so the chart stays readable
No higher-timeframe functions and no repainting: breakers are built on confirmed pivots and every transition is validated on the close, so a wick through a zone does not count

Use Cases

Using a bullish breaker below price as a probable support and a bearish breaker above as a probable resistance — levels that have already proven their inverted role, not theoretical lines
Waiting for the test: a breaker that price returns to and respects is a more solid reference than one freshly formed, and the Breaker Tested alert flags exactly that moment
Reading a failure as information — a breaker closed through has lost its relevance, and recognising it in time avoids leaning on a zone that no longer defends anything
Reading the panel as a map of where the live references concentrate: more bull breakers mean support stacked below, more bear breakers mean resistance above
Matching the structure profile to the horizon, from Scalper on lower timeframes to Long Term for the major breakers on weekly charts, and running it on several charts for a multi-timeframe read

Configuration

Edo Breaker Blocks groups its inputs by block. Structure sets the Structure Profile (Scalper, 5 bars each side, for short-term breakers on lower timeframes; Swing, 10, the default, for the balanced 4H and daily read; or Long Term, 21, for the major breakers on weekly and wider horizons), the Impulse Lookback (20, range 3-60: how many bars back the indicator searches for the candle that originated the break) and the Max Breakers per side (6, range 1-20). Style exposes the bullish breaker colour (teal, support), the bearish breaker colour (red, resistance), the zone opacity (80 %), the label size (Small, from Tiny / Small / Normal) and the theme (Dark or Light). Panel controls panel visibility (on), position (Top Right, from the four chart corners) and size (Small). Four alerts are available: Bullish Breaker formed and Bearish Breaker formed when a new zone is drawn, Breaker Tested when price returns to a zone and respects it, and Breaker Failed when price closes through it, all validated on bar close.
