[@juniormarshallhastings723]

5:47 If there is no pull back after the breakout, I would enter at the previous high (bullish) or previous low (bearish) after the breakout.... I would use support or resistance at a key level to validate my entry as well as a trandline. 7:14 If there is no retest, you can use market stucture with a bearish trendline to determine the direction of price to take an accurate entry.... You would enter at the end of the pullback once the pullback doesn't break the bearish trendline, even though it didn't retest the resistance line.... You can validate your entry with a moving average or candlestick patterns.

[@qwertyui5086]

Trade breakout with a build up only, if price was in a push phase for a while before the breakout then you should wait for a pullback.

[@Tradeciety]

Great observation!

[@shadowingthebigboysforextr8689]

yup agree with you, if the prior move before breakout is very strong momentum on one side..more often than not the breakout will reverse course to retest the broken level or something.. :)

Tradeciety is a master class. I actually trade both Pull back and Breakouts. But confluence is important.

[@darrenrafel9464]

What you call a fakeout could just be a diagonal formation of price discovery, megaphone formation. Higher highs and lower lows. Happens all the time but many technicians are unaware or think they're rare. You could try play a printed candle breakout of a broadening formation instead if its clearly present. 🙂 Great video and content

[@osirisfilmproductions]

I'm thinking of trying both to always secure a position but with the same risk. I'm going to be trying 50% position sizes with 2 entries. One on breakout and one on pullback to stop missing e Certain entries. It also means that if it were to go wrong you are stopped at 0.5% loss.

I like that tip, “wait for the candle to close to confirm the breakout”, so you can avoid fakeouts. Never thought about that. Thanks bro! 😃

In a sense, the pullback trader is also a breakout trader, because the breakout is out of the corrective wave ie when the new impulsive wave begins.

Nice concise summary, Rolf - well done! I think applying these Breakout and Pullback principles in the context of the prevailing 50 MA can also help, by adding another confluence factor.

Thanks trading boss I love you

[@JSFrederic]

At the end of the video do you mean like trade the breakout, set a reasonable stop loss(maybe 1 or 2 candles before the breakout candles.) After the price push from the breakout, set stop loss to breakeven. This way, if the price pullback, you got breakeven and then able to enter a pullback trade. if the price did not pull back enough and continue going, you won't miss out on the trade.

"Expect a retest pullback after a breakout if there was no pullback for quite a few candles before the neckline". Excellent point you talked about. Boss, please provide a summary of these idea nuggets at end of the video for us to add in our notes.

What exactly do you mean by cut your losses?Do you mean get out of trade if it starts going against you or keep your stop loss intact till it’s hit.?

[@frankmanno6207]

Around 2 mins 55 seconds you say to wait until the candle is fully formed and fully closed and to not make decisions mid candle.. I just want to clarify that you are saying the entire candle body must be over the support line right? Not just the close, the entire body?

[@md.monirulislam6271]

Which time frame first flow

[@7indranil]

try to read order flow and market depth ladder firstly , then get confirm with any oscillator and RSI, there will be price rejection in downward if there is pullback, u can easily find out this with volume profile, LVN area and ledge formation....volume is king ....always....

[@justc1552]

[@Tradeciety]

😄😄 Glad you liked it!

[@G1_The_Life]

In 1st example, there's high chance that breakout could fail as it's a one sided move.. I think it's better to trade on breakouts after build-up and wait for re-test after parabolic move.. if the re-test doesn't happen till our trendline, then we should have fibo levels drawn so that we won't miss the trade..

[@loudoniii]

Jeevan Patil Yes, if it’s a classic Wave 2 pullback, we might expect to see a pullback to around the 38.2% Fibonacci level, before continuation into Wave 3, which is often our most profitable wave.
