#突破交易策略 Breakout Trading Strategy Practical Guide: Accurately Capturing Trend Starting Points

1. Core Logic of the Strategy

Breakout trading is based on the market principle of "price continuing after breaking through key levels," focusing on the following three types of breakout opportunities:

Consolidation Breakouts (Box/Triangle, etc.)

Breakouts of Previous Highs and Lows

Breakouts of Technical Indicator Levels (e.g., Bollinger Band Upper Band)

2. Key Operational Elements

Effective Breakout Confirmation Criteria:

Closing price breakout (not intraday false breakout)

Breakout amplitude > 0.8 times ATR

Trading volume expanded to 2 times + the 20-day average volume

At least 2 candlesticks stabilize after the breakout

High Win Rate Selection:

√ Active varieties with volatility > 20%

√ Assets ranked in the top 20% of liquidity

√ Market phases with strong trend continuation

Precise Entry Strategy:

Initial breakout with light positions (30% position)

Add to position if the pullback does not break (50% position)

Full position on second breakout (20% position)

3. Intelligent Risk Control System

Dynamic Stop Loss Settings:

Initial stop loss: 1.5 times ATR below/above breakout low/high

Trailing stop loss: chandelier stop loss method (3 times ATR)

Time stop loss: New high/low not achieved in 3 days

Scientific Take-Profit Methods:

Fibonacci 161.8% first take profit (50%)

Trendline breakout second take profit (30%)

MA20 death cross full closure (20%)

4. Practical Enhancement Techniques

Multidimensional Verification:

Key Points of Volume-Price Analysis:

True breakout: volume increases price rises

False breakout: volume decreases price stagnates

Effective pullback: volume shrinks to 50% of average volume

Time Period Selection:

★ First hour of the morning session (maximum volatility)

★ Overlapping period of European and American sessions

★ Avoid 30 minutes before and after data releases

5. Common Misconception Warnings

False Breakout Identification:

Immediate pullback after breakout

Trading volume not effectively expanded

Indicators showing top/bottom divergence

Position Management Taboo:

× Pre-positioning before breakout

× Heavy position on a single entry

× Revenge trading after losses

Psychological Discipline:

Abandon 90% of suspected breakouts

Only pursue 10% of quality opportunities

Daily stop loss ≤ 2% of total capital
