๐จ Breakout Trading Strategy 101 ๐ฅ๐ (For the savage traders out there ๐)
๐ What is a Breakout?
A breakout happens when the price smashes through a key level (support or resistance) with ๐ฅvolume โ and BOOM ๐ฃ โ it often keeps running in that direction!
Think of it like a caged bull finally busting loose ๐๐จ
๐ง The Basic Formula
1๏ธโฃ Identify the Range ๐
Look for a consolidation zone (price going sideways โฌ ๏ธโก๏ธ)
Mark the support ๐ข & resistance ๐ด levels
2๏ธโฃ Wait for the Break ๐ต๏ธ
Price breaks above resistance = ๐ Long
Price breaks below support = ๐ป Short
Add volume = ๐ฅ Confirmation
3๏ธโฃ Enter the Trade ๐ธ
Break + retest = safer entry โ
Break + momentum = aggressive entry โก๏ธ
4๏ธโฃ Set Stop Loss & Take Profit
SL ๐ = Just below the breakout zone (for longs)
TP ๐ฏ = Measure the range height & project it forward
โ ๏ธ Common Traps
Fakeouts = price breaks out and comes back in ๐ค
๐ก Use volume, candle closes, or retests for confirmation
Donโt FOMO ๐ง โ wait for the right setup
