While trading with the trend reduces risk, beginners should avoid counter-trend trading until skilled. Breakouts are more likely in range-bound markets with many limit orders above resistance and below support. A narrowing of price ranges usually precedes a breakout. Breakouts are confirmed by increased volume, and traders should avoid moves with falling volume. Trading when liquidity and volatility are high reduces costs while helping captures breakouts without false signals during low volatility. After an initial move, retests of broken support/resistance often occur, so traders should wait for retests before entering positions. Have an exit plan before trading to avoid emotional involvement.

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.
