While trading in the direction of the preceding trend

can reduce risk and the chance of false breakouts,


beginners should avoid counter-trend trading until
they have adequate expertise.

Due to an oversupply of limit orders above resistance


and below support, assets in a prolonged range-
bound market give the most spectacular breakout
trading possibilities.

A buildup, or the narrowing of each candlestick's


highs and lows, generally precedes a breakout,
making it one of the most important pre-breakout
indicators for traders to watch.

Breakout and breakdown trading are confirmed by


volume, and traders should avoid price action moves
when trading volume drops.

Trading during periods of high liquidity lowers trading


costs, while trading during periods of high volatility
ensures traders capture a breakout with the ability to
hold while avoiding false breakouts that frequently
occur during periods of low volatility.

Following the initial move, a breakout or breakdown


normally reverses, retesting the broken support or
resistance level, which now works as resistance or
support, and traders should wait for the retest before
entering their positions.

Have an exit strategy in place before you enter the


transaction, as this is the only moment you can
approach it without being emotionally involved.
