TrendPredator Fakeout (FO)
Free indicator supporting trend identification, trap detection and entry timing
The TrendPredator Fakeout (FO) indicator helps you read market structure and trend direction in real time by coloring bars according to their bias state. It highlights breakout bars, fakeout bars, and especially switch bars—signals that often precede trend reversals. This allows traders to better read the market, spot traps, and time entries with precision.
The foundation of this approach comes from Stacey Burke’s trading system, built on insights from George Douglas Taylor, Tony Crabel, Steve Mauro, and Robert Schabacker. Burke’s framework combines the best of these influences into a consistent structure—but it’s also highly discretionary, demanding strong real-time decision-making skills.
The TrendPredator indicators were created to support this methodology by automating key analytical steps, integrating mechanical bias and a multi-timeframe perspective. They drastically reduce preparation time while providing all essential signals and context for live session trading.
TrendPredator FO is a powerful tool for spotting peak formations, detecting trapped traders, and enhancing higher-timeframe analysis—giving you real-time price action signals to stay ahead of the market.
It is designed to work perfectly alongside the TrendPredator PRO and ES versions.

What can I say about Mathias except that he’s amazing? He’s taught me so much about trading—starting with psychology, which was huge for me. He’s super patient and never minded going over things as many times as I needed. He helped me build a thesis, walked me through my trading basket, and explain...
