🧱 Step by Step: The Breakout Setup
⸻
✅ Step 1: Identify a Clear Range
Look for sideways price action with:
🔹 Multiple equal highs (resistance)
🔹 Multiple equal lows (support)
This shows that the market is accumulating or consolidating.
🧠 Tip: 15min and 1H charts work best for beginners.
—
✅ Step 2: Wait for Compression (Drops in Volume)
As the price keeps bouncing within the range:
🔹 Volume decreases
🔹 Candles get smaller
This means pressure is building.
→ Get ready, don’t be greedy.
—
✅ Step 3: Set Breakout Alerts
Use the alert tool on Binance or TradingView.
Alert above resistance and below support.
Don’t guess — let the price come to you 🔔
—
✅ Step 4: Confirm the Breakout
Don’t enter on the first green/red candle.
Wait for:
🔹 A close outside the range
🔹 Spike in volume
🔹 Retest of the breakout level
—
✅ Step 5: Enter After the Retest + Confirmation
📌 Example:
• Resistance = $1.00
• Price breaks to $1.05
• Retraces to $1.00
• Forms a bullish engulfing
→ You enter long
→ SL = Below the $1.00 zone
→ TP = 2x or 3x your risk
This drastically reduces the risk of false breakouts ✅
—
✅ Step 6: Lock in Profits and Let Winners Run
• Move the stop to breakeven after 1R
• Scale out in portions
• Let part of the trade run for maximum profit
—
❌ What to avoid:
🔻 Entering without confirmation
🔻 Chasing breakouts in meme coins
🔻 No stop-loss = quick losses
🔻 Trading when volume is dead

Breakout trading rewards patience, not panic.
