The Trendline Scan draws the two lines most traders draw by hand — a falling resistance line through the last two pivot highs and a rising support line through the last two pivot lows — across a whole watchlist, and marks the bar where price closes through one. It runs on 10-minute, 30-minute, 4-hour and daily bars, and every break is shown inside two other readings of the same chart: Ripster's EMA clouds for trend, and LuxAlgo Smart Money Concepts for market structure and the premium/discount zones of the current swing range.

A trendline break says the sequence of highs (or lows) that held until now just failed. Everything else on the chart is there to tell you what kind of market that happened in.
The same clouds as the RipsterCloud Scan: 8/9 and 5/12 for the near-term push, 34/50 for the regime — bullish when both lines are rising and price is above the cloud, bearish for the mirror, neutral otherwise. The table shows the regime and the 5/12 direction for every ticker, and every signal records the regime it fired in.
A BOS (break of structure) is a close through the last swing level in the direction the market was already going — continuation. A CHoCH (change of character) is the first close through a swing level the other way — the earliest structural sign of a turn, drawn with a dashed line. Both are marked on the chart from the pivot that made the level to the bar that took it out.
The current swing range is split the way LuxAlgo splits it: the top band is premium (expensive — where longs are chasing), the bottom band discount (cheap), and the middle band equilibrium. The chart header also gives the raw number: how far up the range price is sitting.
Before this tab shipped, the engine was replayed over a year of intraday bars and up to three years of higher-timeframe bars, on 20 tickers, in sliding windows so every stop was sized on the volatility of its own week. Breaks were graded the way the tab grades them: a stop 1R away, targets at 1R, 2R and 3R, first touch wins.
So the tab does not filter breaks by context — it shows the context on each one and keeps the score by zone and by regime per ticker, and you decide. Anyone telling you that a trendline break plus an EMA cloud is a system should be asked for their numbers.
The entry is the break bar's close. The stop goes past both the broken line and the last few bars' extreme, plus a quarter ATR, clamped between 0.6 and 2.5 ATR so one violent bar cannot size a trade that no longer resembles the others. That distance is 1R, and the targets are at 1R, 2R and 3R — the same ladder the RipsterCloud tab uses, so the two tabs' records can be compared directly.
Per ticker: last price, the 34/50 regime, the 5/12 cloud direction, the structure bias, the zone price sits in, the latest break with its age, how many fired today, and the share of this ticker's resolved breaks that reached the first target. Click a row to load its chart.

This ticker's breaks split by side, by the zone they happened in and by the regime they happened in — the same splits the gate search used, so you can see for yourself what the context is doing on the names you trade.
When a break is fresh, a rule-based debit-spread idea (or a spot long/short for crypto) with a Risk Graph button that pre-fills the trade. The conviction grade counts how much of the context agrees — which, as above, is information rather than a proven filter.
10 min and 30 min are the intraday views, regular session only. 4 hour bars are cut on the ET clock (4:00, 8:00, 12:00, 16:00, 20:00), so one bar is a quarter of the extended session and the buckets match what a charting platform shows for 4H with extended hours on. Daily is the position view — a handful of breaks a month per name rather than a handful a week. The switch sits next to the tab title, and the watchlist, the clouds, the structure and the zones are all recomputed on whichever bars you pick.
