"Breakouts don’t lie — but traders do."
Everyone loves breakout trades… until they realize most are fakeouts.
Here’s how I filter real breakouts:
✅ Volume surge must be 2× average — without wicks
✅ Previous liquidity must be cleared before breakout
✅ I wait for a base-retest-reclaim pattern
✅ I use trap zones to bait impatient longs/shorts — then enter
📉 I don’t chase green. I wait for blood, reclaim, and disbelief.
The market prints opportunities — but I print the narrative behind the breakout.
