Thxs🎉

[@davidnorris-m3c]

I agree with Jeff ....there just🤬 participants

[@phtephenjumptoconclusionsq3504]

OK so what exactly does passive and aggressive breakout buyng look like? Stock video footage not helping much ... with all due respect

[@rizwan101]

This is gold. Its what ive experienced and subconsciously know but first time hearing it articulated.

[@VM_VARGA]

Retrospection bias

[@EARealRacingDriver]

i literally watch this channel and use it to understand where to profit , and i will say i have made profit ever since... there is no other channel like this with so much accuracy

[@gilligan1477]

man this is so great thanks jeff. Would have been amazing if you had chart examples of "rangy breaks" and " extended breaks" though. A brief follow up video on this with more examples would be stellar!

[@shavid18]

Yes! So much talking for so little exchange

[@charmjasmi]

i watched many SMB vids, all are very informative, very educational and full of wisdom ! btw, I like Jeff presentation most, he is so good at explaining and breaking things down into very details. Thanks Jeff, Mikey, and all SMB educators

[@jeffrydiamond]

You just described my exact problem: how an expectation causes a freeze as the knife falls. Thank you for this video. I will use the information.

[@pgohearn]

The visual effects really add texture. Thanks for another great vid.

[@bobbybushay185]

Im loving the more frequent content! Thank you all for your inspiration💯

[@DoubleBtmBouncer]

I've learned that support and resistance levels are more of a "zone" that a specific price level. Can be a few dollars wide on high volatile stock or as narrow as 1.00 on lower volatile stocks. All depends on the wicks and bodies in those zones. A resistance level can be between say 190 and 193 on a high volatile stock. The stock pushes up, breaks 190 with higher volume, everyone thinks its a break out, then it hits the top of that zone at 193, rejects, and breaks right back down under 190. Identifying those zones helped me a lot over the years and stopped me from getting into those false break outs. Fomo (fear of missing out) is real, people chase too many stocks when in reality if a stock is really strong it will give u multiple entries. Same when a stock is weak. We don't have to catch the WHOLE move a stock makes, we just have to catch part of the move to be profitable.

[@MNTrader2012]

Sounds sophisticated and they have the solutions. Just to get you to buy the other lessons. It will get the newbies hooked bc they would really believe the hype. Then they will be out thousands and thousands and forever hooked.

[@5150Magic]

Actually, they have thousands of free videos and resources available. Kind of surprising the amount really.

[@ryszardszalkiewicz3979]

Jeff, You can identify a false breakout in real time by being aware of your expectations, emotions, and other positive reactions including accompaning thoughts. If they are positive, then you know that it is a false breakout. Our expectations and emotions are excellent indicators if treated counterintuitively.

[@jsk333]

Thank you for the continual sharing of great teaching you guys do! Very much appreciated!

[@jerseyjeeper1575]

Before I even finish the video I’m pausing it to say that as soon as you start to think about bragging or getting kudos you’re on the way to losing that trade. Mark my word.

[@rizwan101]

😂

[@hudsonliu2109]

Agree

[@MrKevin_G]

Me today in /NQ

[@sandroSwann]

Well said... I made that same mention in similar fashion also.

[@alliance3945]

Its not the bragging itself, its the effect the bragging has on your emotions and discipline.

[@paws4thought449]

As a trend trader I rarely encounter range breakouts, my capital is allocated to other stocks. I break out of resistance levels but I’m trading the moving averages

[@leeles]

Thanks Jeff, this is a very relevant topic you are adressing here.

[@k.mcquistanpop6341]

This is the a very informative playbook in itself. Thanks for offering your experience on these conditions.

[@johnotaran]

- [00:00](kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJWwlIOBfNl5naM) 📉 False breakouts can be detrimental to both your trading account and confidence, but Jeff Holden, head of Trader development at SMB, shares techniques to avoid them. - [03:39](kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJWwlIOBfNl5naM) 📈 Breakouts are characterized by energy and momentum buildup, often evolving from trading within a range into a consolidation phase before a breakout. - [05:30](kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJWwlIOBfNl5naM) 💡 Approximately 30 to 40% of breakouts fail, emphasizing the need to identify those prone to failure and adjust risk accordingly. - [06:10](kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJWwlIOBfNl5naM) 📊 Subtle clues like the number of touches on either side of a range can signal potential breakout failures, allowing traders to adjust their risk management. - [09:02](kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJWwlIOBfNl5naM) 🔍 Identifying pressure breaks and analyzing where the buildup occurs prior to a breakout can help differentiate between promising and failing breakouts. - [12:00](kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJWwlIOBfNl5naM) 📝 After identifying a good breakout, monitoring price action in the next five bars is crucial, with indicators like aggressive or passive participation helping gauge its success. - [15:10](kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJWwlIOBfNl5naM) 💼 Traders have three options after a breakout: stand, add to the position if buying is aggressive, or fold if price action indicates failure. - [18:08](kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJWwlIOBfNl5naM) 🔄 Failed breakouts can present trading opportunities if recognized promptly, allowing traders to capitalize on price reversals.

[@tubeiam30]

Would have loved if you could have shown more examples along with your talk. Thanks.

[@tehuti112]

Haven’t even watched the video but my personal tip is don’t trade the initial breakout. Trade the retest of the level that it broke out from

[@ChyeHeng17]

I would somehow agree. I mean, if it's a fake breakout, the effect will be quite devastating. Another is, take quick profit if you do trade the initial breakout, but hold longer, for the restest..

[@AJohnson0325]

The best and strongest breakouts don’t retest so waiting for a retest could cause you to miss a lot of good trades and then you end up only trading the weakest breakouts. Just watch your position size and have a stop. The entry is one of the least important aspects of trading. Money management and risk management are the key.

[@IamTheJesus69]

It depends. The strongest most aggressive breakouts don’t retest.

[@ShogunSCOOTER]

@@AJohnson0325 Dangerous advise especially for new traders. That might fuel fomo, with devastating effect for traders who are not good at risk management.

[@thembangwenya4899]

This is the simplest thing yet most difficult for a lot

[@Sasa_S77]

Thank you very much Jeff. The depth of this video is fantastic!

[@cryptoniteclark]

This is a very under-discussed topic, and so there's limited info out there about it. It would be good to have a part 2 of this, with proper examples of each scenario.

[@BboyKozijn]

thank you for a solid lesson. i wish i had a mentor like this closer then new york :(

[@Beachtrader0007]

iirc they have an affiliate branch in austin texas. Its another trading company they partnered with years ago.

[@BboyKozijn]

im in canada bro...@@Beachtrader0007

[@whatsmyedgeagain_]

Amazing rigorous trading methodology and cool engaging communication! Thank you, Jeff and SMB Capital team, for this great stuff!

[@KT-zx9jr]

Excellent clip Jeff and thanks. Perfect timing for this. Did you see CRBP today? Finished the day with an rvol of 1275. Check out the first 5min candle......insane vol then steady.... Strong catalyst too of course and nice mkt conditions for this trade.....

[@hydehilly]

Amazing video. Thanks guys!

[@bakerdmd]

This speaker is such a good teacher

[@Monastirski]

What i really find interesting is that in the beginning of my trading career i have focused a lot on making gains in the trading account. What i have found is that with that came a lot of loosing trades and cutting those loosing trades is like taking aways the breaks on the car. Thanks for the information

[@theMillerCode]

NOTHING takes the wind out of your sails like a trade that setup up for a break out then sputters out of the gate.

[@yoginacharya2150]

SMB never disappoints. Thank you 🙏.

[@phamtranucthang5495]

It's so valueable, thank SMB so much

[@henrymitchell9717]

I am very proud to say as well that my portfolio is up approx 72% YTD. Around 6x of that of the spy (around 15% gain) and 1.93x that of the QQQ (around 47% gain).

[@ChyeHeng17]

A lot of gems here, but if you aren't as experienced, it's probably hard to catch what he's presenting without much visual guides. But, good gems still...that's how you put together multiple good sources, into your own Trading playbook.

[@sivagurunathan4117]

Could you create a video explaining the correct method for placing stop losses in the breakout technique, particularly when adding positions ? and different type of it

[@jeffholden3736]

stop loss on a range break will almost always be just outside of the opposite side of the range.

[@jasonstephens37221]

Best f’ing video you all have done! This is true online share training and applaud you for it. Thanks! Been at this for 3-4 yrs and finally getting to breakeven after all the easy money I 24:20 made a few years ago. Knowledge is king, and I appreciate this video more than your others. Just wanted to drop my thoughts! Do more of this! Thanks

[@VansusVie]

I agree that many people are considering NVDA as the "Stock of the year." However, I'm curious about which stocks could potentially become the next Nvidia in terms of growth over the next decade. I've allocated $200k for investment, aiming to retire comfortably.

[@Fahima9Tazin]

I think the next big thing will be A.I. For enduring growth akin to Nvidia, it's vital to avoid impulsive decisions driven by short-term fluctuations. Prioritize patience and a long-term perspective consider financial advisory for informed buying and selling decisions.

[@SteveKalfman-yv7co]

Facing a similar situation, I sought advice from an CFP. Through portfolio restructuring and diversification with good ETFs, S&P 500 and growth stocks, I've turned my portfolio around from $200k to over $800k in a few years.

[@SallyW414]

Your CFP must be really good, I hope it's okay to inquire if you're still collaborating with the same CFP and how I can get in touch with them?

[@SteveKalfman-yv7co]

She goes by ‘’Vivian Jean Wilhelm’ I suggest you look her up. To be honest, I almost didn't buy the idea of letting someone handle growing my finance, but so glad I did.

[@SallyW414]

Thank you! I entered her full name into my browser, and her website came out on top. I filled her form and i hope she gets back to me soon.

[@907Blademan]

Great details Jeff! Thanks!

[@jonnysuited610]

Showing more visual examples would be great

[@igorspivak8857]

using cci is helping me avoid unnecessary trading risks

[@nd-kay]

Wow! Many thanks! Such a valuable lesson!

[@1Giovann1]

This Video is sooooo helpful, Thank you very much

[@airsantempire]

I've been burned by false break outs so many times that I wait until the false break out happens and then I take the trade.

[@hubristicmystic]

Waiting until the whales have eaten?

[@airsantempire]

picking up da scraps that fell off the table@@hubristicmystic

[@matthewmichaelcrown3643]

one of your most helpful vids tnx

[@miketiger2030]

nice information , good explanation. more chart work would do more justice to the video

[@alexandrudragomir5419]

I feel that the information is more like a story than a real educational material. For example 5 bars rule, minute bar, 5 min bar , 1 day bar what is the bar unit to report to. The video is more about a feeling than a real example. Also would be interesting to give a real example using a real ticker than to discuss in theory.

[@MNTrader2012]

It is a sales pitch to lure you into believing you need to buy their programs to get the gems.

[@sardororipov1302]

why does it matter what timeframe. 5 bars could be 30 seconds, 1 minute, daily/weekly bars, does not matter. What does matter is concept. Trading is not mechnaical if this do this, its fluid and context can change at any second, you can follow plan even see volume with breakout but Putin tweets about nuclear weapon and you will get stopped.

[@nanoamine5540]

Great video. Right Google got nice break of good level and now retest.

[@matthewgardner824]

He says you can determine what will happen in the first 5 bars after the breakout. What bars? The one minute bar? The 5 minute bar? He is not specific, only says 5 bars.

[@shoelesstrucker4414]

I am sort of new to all this and my question is how do you profit from a stock that is breaking to the down side? What position do you take? Or did I misunderstand?

[@johnotaran]

Thanks for the insights ! In regards to passive price action, is that passive sustained buying on steady volume ? And regarding lethargic price action, is that basically price breaking out but by a small margin and then just going sideways or drifiting up on low volume ?

[@jonnysuited610]

got the same question! I am only focused on break outs and it is hard sometimes to figure out what is going in that sense

[@bibbidi_bobbidi_bacons]

Great video, thanks. Hopefully I can get ahold of being profitable before I do that exhaust hose in the car window thing while I’m shit drunk, and eat a handful of Tylenol and Benadryls

[@bpb5541]

All you need to know is what a 180 bullish or bearish bar looks like. Should you enter long and that candle gets taken out by an engulfing red bar. You should get stopped out if you set your stop correctly. That is an INSTANT go short event. 180s have about a 75% follow through. Do not be stubborn or think it will come back. If you were wrong you were wrong. Great traders don't care. That is what the stop is for. They also have no problem going the other way if a certain event happens. A 180 bar is that event.

[@MinotauroTrading]

So you would start selling after it breaks the last low. Shit i have always tried to sell at the top of the range thats why i always get destroyed. Thank you.

[@JustinDaddow-f5l]

So I've committed my whole life to studying the markets and trading. I'm grat at reading price, but my executions need so much work.

[@Sopros1]

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@cet4100]

Did not understand "15 bars higher...7 minutes...". Otherwise, seemed like good info. I will definitely watch for those conditions.

can you post a video how to sell the news (maybe with bitcoin example - coinbase IPO 14 IV 2021, and now ETF)?

[@capitaldd3693]

newbie question.. ..when the sec rule 203 is put into place, how come I'll see that stock listed as a larger drop in price than 10%....? (having read that the stock is only supposed to drop 10% , then the 201 rule will take kick in. I often see stocks with a much larger than 10% decrease in value for that day..)(i'm looking at one on I/B and it's showing -22.97%) thanks

[@Rokbao]

Связка работает отлично, автор красава!

[@tradingpoker1324]

Just like poker. The big hands play themselves and it's hard to misplay them. A lot of the edge is gained with marginal hands, especially knowing when to fold to avoid unnecessary losses in suboptimal scenarios.

[@gruposcalybursadecv997]

[@tradingpoker1324]

Should the stop usually go right below the breakout level?

[@howtobeacourier]

That's what I usually do.....but these brokers have slippage. It's never just cut and dry with setting a stop loss

Trading is just everyday discovery, no matter how professional you are, market will always lecture you.

[@vidpic8311]

By the Time the SELLERS in your example at 20:44, show their in on control you have missed 70% of the short, very little meat left on the bone, be nice to see, how you trade on the 1 min 2 min 3min in relation to the close of the candle and the Volume in relation to the close of the candle. This was very general and obvious for someone that has traded for a while. . . . Meh .......

I'll let him know.

Isn't that just the stop hunt you see in London and Asian market. And trap and reverse.

[@supercruchynoodle]

I think the fact that Rudy is an adult 8 years later from the time he walked his dogs when he was 17 is why his mom never got charged. No excuse to not charge her but the law considers him an autonomous self-deciding adult despite his trauma sadly enough
