Line break, free.

What you get

• Line break blocks built from live crypto candles, with a configurable number of lines
• A reversal drawn only when price exceeds the extreme of the last N blocks
• Three lines by default, which is the classic setting, adjustable up or down
• Spot and perpetual futures across the supported venues
• Indicators and drawings work on it like any other chart type

Why this is usually paid for

Line break belongs to the same family as Renko, Kagi and point-and-figure: chart types that discard time to make structure obvious. They are cheap to compute and are usually gated behind a plan for the same reason Kagi is — they mark the boundary of a feature list.

Basis draws all of them from candles it has already loaded, so none of them costs anything to offer.

How to use it

1. 1

   Open the chart on line break

   The button below switches to the line break renderer. The default is three lines, which is what most descriptions of the technique assume.

2. 2

   Pick the line count deliberately

   The count is how many prior blocks a move must clear to reverse the chart. Two lines reverses readily and keeps more of the noise; five lines only turns on a substantial move. Three is the usual compromise.

3. 3

   Treat a reversal as a change of regime, not a signal

   A block in the opposite colour means price has cleared several blocks worth of the previous direction. That is a statement about what has already happened; it is late by construction, and that lateness is the filter you asked for.

4. 4

   Confirm on a time chart before acting

   Because time is removed, a run of blocks can be minutes or weeks. Switch back to candles to see the pace, and to order flow to see whether the move was bought or sold into.
