Change of Character (CHoCH) Detection
What is it?
A change of character (CHoCH) occurs when price breaks structure against the prevailing trend for the first time — for example, when an uptrend making higher lows suddenly breaks below its last higher low. It is an early, structural warning of a possible reversal.
How Trade11AI does it
Trade11AI's CHoCH module tracks swing structure on every chart and flags the first counter-trend break, labeling its strength and context. A confirmed CHoCH shifts the engine's structural bias and interacts with the BOS, order block, and liquidity modules to grade potential reversal setups.
Key facts
- Automatic swing structure tracking per symbol and timeframe
- First counter-trend break detection with strength labeling
- Interacts with BOS, order block, and liquidity modules
- Feeds reversal-phase detection in market state analysis
Common questions
What is the difference between CHoCH and BOS?
BOS confirms continuation in the direction of the trend; CHoCH is the first break against the trend and warns of a possible reversal.
Is a CHoCH a sell or buy signal by itself?
No. It is one piece of structural evidence and must combine with other confirmations before a setup is graded.
