Gold Base and Breakout Setup

By const
Updated
The key to trade this kind of setup is the Buy Stop on a breakout. Without the breakout or breakout on the wrong side --> THE ENTRY IS NOT CONFIRMED.

You can choose too buy the breakout pullback though, i.e. after the breakout, wait for the pullback to test the breakout --> then buy. This is a much safer method but sometimes there is simply no pullback after the breakout. A compromise might be half to buy on a breakout and halt to buy on a pullback.
