Silent Zone Breakout - NinjaTrader 8 Indicator

Image - 1 (Click to ZOOM) |
This indicator automatically detects low volatility compression zones and highlights breakout signals with dynamic target projections to help traders identify high-probability breakout opportunities in the market.
As shown in Image 1, when price enters a period of low volatility, the indicator draws a compression box (rectangular zone) around the consolidation area. The box outline and fill colours are fully customisable to match your chart style. Once price breaks out of this compression zone, either above or below, the indicator immediately paints a signal bar in real-time - green for long breakouts and red for short breakouts.
The indicator then projects a target line based on the average recent breakout size, helping you set profit targets or plan your position size. These dynamic targets are calculated using the expansion factor multiplied by the height of the compression zone, providing realistic and market-appropriate profit objectives.

The indicator offers extensive customisation options through its comprehensive settings panel. In Image 2, highlighted by a white rectangle, you can see the Appearance section where traders can modify the Zone Outline and Zone Fill colours, adjust Zone Opacity for subtle or bold visual display, set the Target Colour for breakout projection lines, and customise Long Bar Colour and Short Bar Colour for painted signal bars.
Image 3 displays the Inputs section, highlighted by a red rectangle, which controls the core indicator logic. The Preset dropdown offers Conservative, Balanced, or Aggressive detection modes. Key parameters include Short ATR for volatility sensitivity, Long Med TR for quiet market detection, Box Min Bars for minimum compression duration (default: 10), Quiet Threshold for compression sensitivity, Expansion Factor for target distance calculation, and Debounce Bars to prevent overtrading on faster timeframes.
The indicator includes powerful toggle features for enhanced functionality. Image 4 (highlighed by a yellow rectangle) shows the options panel where you can enable Paint Signal Bars to colour candles in the breakout direction, Show Arrows for directional breakout markers, Alerts for sound and popup notifications, Auto Scale Drawings to keep targets visible, Show Quiet Panel for a separate volatility analysis subpanel, and Reset on Session to clear all drawings at session start.
The Silent Zone Breakout Indicator works on any timeframe from 1-minute scalping charts to daily swing trading charts, and supports all market instruments available in NinjaTrader 8. The balanced preset works excellently for most traders, but the extensive customisation options allow you to fine-tune the behaviour to match your specific trading style and market approach.
Unlike most indicators, when you purchase Silent Zone Breakout from Rize Capital, you receive complete access to the NinjaScript source code, giving you full ownership and the freedom to modify, integrate, or enhance the indicator according to your evolving trading needs.
