Falsebreakouts

What is the difference between a pro-trader and a beginner? The difference between pro traders and new traders is how they approach trading. Pros commit to trading. They do not see it as an opportunity, they see trading as a form of work. They are not looking for the best trade every time, instead, pros are looking for many trades because they see loss and gain as a fundamental part of how trading works. It would not be too absurd to think of pros as survivors. Pros have realized losses and gains over time, injecting capital only to lose some more, yet they have accepted that that is the nature of trading. There are both good and bad trades that range in how profitable or unprofitable they may be. Pros respect the markets, they are not trying to prove that they are right -they just follow the flow of the market. Lastly, pros understand that a lot of things cost money in the day trading world; however, they are willing to spend it because they like to have the tools that will lead them to success. New traders differ from pros in plenty of ways. For starters, they are looking for that original piece of validation to continue their day trading ventures. This is why new traders tend to look for only the best trades in the markets they are monitoring. They instinctively want to make money right away and gain some working capital to buffer any future loss. Furthermore, new traders suffer a lot when they fail because they take it personally and naturally reject their losses. This behavior eventually leads to them quitting altogether which ties into their commitment to trading as a whole. New traders (unlike pro traders) do not like to commit; for them trading is an opportunity to get as much money as possible from their trades. Furthermore, they are looking to minimize their costs by acquiring tips, shortcuts and various other content for free. As a result, new traders often sprinting to make a quick buck while if they simply took the time to slow down and educate themselves they will make more successful trades in the long run.

Learn False Breakout in Trading | Technical Analysis Basics ⭕️False-breakouts are exactly what they sound like: a breakout that failed to continue beyond a level, resulting in a ‘false’ breakout of that level. False breakout patterns are one of the most important price action trading patterns to learn, because a false-break is often a very strong clue that price might be changing direction or that a trend might be resuming soon. ⭕️A false-break of a level can be thought of as a ‘deception’ by the market, because it looks like price will breakout but then it quickly reverses, deceiving all those who took the ‘bait’ of the breakout. It’s often the case that amateurs will enter what looks like an ‘obvious’ breakout and then the professional’s will push the market back the other way ⭕️A false breakout is essentially a ‘contrarian’ move in the market that ‘flushes’ out those traders who may have entered on emotion, rather than logic and forward thinking. ⭕️Generally speaking, a false-breakout happens because amateur traders or those with ‘weak hands’ in the market will tend to enter the market only when it ‘feels safe’ to do so. This means, they tend to enter when a market is already quite extended in one direction (and it’s about ready to retrace) or they try to ‘predict’ a breakout from a key support or resistance level too early. Professional traders watch for these missteps by the amateurs, and the end result is a very good entry for them with a tight stop loss and huge risk reward potential. ⭕️It takes discipline and a bit of ‘gut feel’ to know when a false-break is likely to occur, and you can never really know ‘for sure’ until after one has formed. The important thing, is to know what they look like and how to trade them. Like, comment and subscribe to boost your trading!

NEVER TRADE AGAINST THE TREND - GBP USD BREAKOUT REVERSALThis summary of the recent rally on the GBP USD highlighted the important rule of never trading against the main direction of the trend. The only exceptions to this rule are 1. Reversals at Major Resistance/Support Consolidation Boundaries of the Monthly, Weekly or Daily Charts. 2. Reversals at Major Resistance/Support Price Points of the Monthly, Weekly or Daily Charts. In the absence of any of these scenarios, trading in the general direction of the Daily Chart is always your better choice. As you can see, there was a recent attempt by the market to start a Bearish Breakout from the Consolidation on the 4 Hour Chart overnight but this was short-lived. This movement was taken out by the Sharp Bullish Rally this morning in reaction to the sterling-positive outlook from the Bank of England. Essentially, the Bank of England stated that inflation was expected to rise to 2% which in the context of the current global pandemic and economic downturn is a very positive outlook for the British Economy. Statements like these are always positive for the currency in question and so the natural reaction of the market was to buy the sterling. Even in the absence of this statement , the GBP USD was always going to rally because of the fact that the Outer Uptrend Line was still holding, despite the break of the Inner Uptrend Line. So as long as the momentum of the market is still Bullish, trading in favour of the GBP is going to be the better option. First Strategy. Trade the False Breakout Reversal to Resistance of the 4 Hour Pennant. Exit and wait. Second Strategy. Trade the Breakout above the Resistance when the Uptrend is confirmed.
