BTCUSD Dual Thrust (1H)
BTCUSD Dual Thrust (1H) — Indicator
Overview
The Dual Thrust is a classic breakout-type strategy designed to capture strong directional moves when markets show imbalance between buyers and sellers. This indicator adapts the method specifically for BTCUSD on the 1-Hour timeframe, showing dynamic Buy/Sell trigger levels and live signals.
Origin
The Dual Thrust system was originally introduced by Michael Vitucci and has been widely used in futures and high-volatility markets. It was designed as a day-trading breakout framework, where daily high/low and close data define the range for the next session’s trade triggers.
How it Works
Each new day, the indicator calculates a “breakout range” using daily price data.
Two trigger levels are projected from the daily open:
Buy Trigger: Open + Range × KUp
Sell Trigger: Open - Range × KDn
Range can be built from either:
Classic Dual Thrust formula: max(High - Close[1], Close[1] - Low) over a lookback period, or
ATR-based range: for volatility-adaptive signals.
A LONG signal fires when price crosses above the Buy Trigger.
An EXIT signal fires when price crosses below the Sell Trigger.
Buy/Sell lines step forward across each intraday bar until recalculated at the next daily open.
Practical Use
Optimized for BTCUSD 1-Hour charts (crypto’s volatility provides stronger follow-through).
Use the Buy/Sell levels as dynamic breakout lines or as confluence with your own setups.
Alerts are built in, so you can receive notifications when a LONG or EXIT condition triggers.
Designed as an indicator only (not a backtest strategy).
Key Features
✅ Daily Buy/Sell trigger lines auto-calculated and forward-filled
✅ LONG / EXIT labels on signals
✅ Optional ATR mode for volatility regimes
✅ Optional bar coloring for easy visual scanning
✅ Alerts ready for live monitoring
⚡️ Tip: While this indicator highlights breakout opportunities, effectiveness can improve when combined with trend filters (e.g., 200-SMA) or when aligned with higher timeframe supply/demand zones.
