What this lesson covers
Breakouts produce some of the largest moves available and also some of the most expensive traps. This lesson covers both sides. It explains how a breakout forms, what makes a level worth watching in the first place, and how to identify the zones where a genuine break is more likely. It then deals with the fakeout: price pushes through a level, triggers the orders waiting there, and immediately reverses. The lesson shows what separates the two in real time, including the role of volume, the close, the retest and the context around the level. A step by step method for trading breakouts with confirmation follows, along with how to trade the fakeout itself once you can recognise one rather than being caught by it.
