Price Breakout options in FYERS Automate are Trigger types. They decide when an automation should move forward based on price behaviour. These triggers do not place orders by themselves.
Price-based triggers are useful when you already know a specific price, percentage, or activity level and want the automation to continue only after that condition is met.
All Price Breakout triggers are configured on the canvas by selecting the trigger, choosing the symbol, and entering the required price, percentage, or volume value.
This trigger checks when price moves above a specific level that you define.
Example: NIFTY is trading near 26,170.
You set the breakout level at 26,200.
When NIFTY moves above 26,200, the automation can continue.
This trigger checks when price moves below a specific level.
Example: NIFTY is trading near 26,170.
You set the breakout level at 26,120.
When NIFTY moves below 26,120, the automation can continue.
This trigger checks whether a candle closes beyond a price level,
helping confirm that the breakout is not temporary.
Example: You set a breakout level at 26,200.
Instead of reacting immediately, Automate waits for the candle to close above 26,200 before allowing the automation to continue.
This trigger checks when the absolute price change for the current day moves beyond a value you set.
Example: If NIFTY opened at 26,000 and moves up by +200 points,
the automation can continue once that daily change level is reached.
This trigger checks when price moves beyond a set percentage change for the day.
Example: You set a 0.8% daily change breakout.
If NIFTY opened near 26,000, the automation continues once price moves
roughly ±208 points from the opening level.
This trigger checks when traded volume crosses a defined limit.
It is useful for confirming strong participation.
Example: You set a volume threshold of 1 crore contracts.
When trading volume crosses this level, the automation is allowed to continue.
| Scenario | What happens |
|---|---|
| I set an Above/Below level but the price does not cross it | The automation waits and does not move forward until the level is crossed. |
| I want to avoid quick spikes and false breakouts | Use Price breakout with confirmation so the automation continues only after a candle closes beyond the level. |
| I want the trigger to depend on today’s movement, not a fixed price | Use Day’s change breakout or % day’s change breakout based on whether you want a points-based or percentage-based daily move. |
| I want the automation to proceed only when market participation is high | Use Volume breakout so the automation continues only after volume crosses your set limit. |
