Tools for Breakout Trading


It's a popular trading method and shows results (Profit or Loss) instantly. A breakout is a stock price moving outside a defined support or resistance level with increased volume. A breakout trader enters a long position after the stock price breaks above resistance or enters a short position after the stock breaks below support. Once the stock trades beyond the price barrier, volatility tends to increase and prices usually trend in the breakout's direction. The reason breakouts are such an important trading strategy is because these setups are the starting point for future volatility increases, large price swings and, in many circumstances, major price trends.


A few pointers for Breakout trading:


1. TRADE BREAKOUTS IN THE DIRECTION OF THE TREND

2. WAIT FOR HIGHER VOLUME TO CONFIRM A BREAKOUT

3. ENTER ON RETEST OF SUPPORT OR RESISTANCE

4. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF VOLATILITY CYCLES

5. HAVE A PREDETERMINED EXIT PLAN

6. SAVE TIME BY SCANNING FOR BREAKOUT CANDIDATES

They say, "Damn, the market didn't behave the way I thought it would." Why should it? Life and the markets just don't work that way. 6. Don't get too complacent once you have made profits. The toughest thing in the world is holding on to profits. That is because once you have attained a goal, you then set a second goal that is usual

There are many ways you can buy and sell using different types of orders, and each way serves a purpose. Here are the basic trading order types, and when you will want to use them. Allowing market to hit your order ( trigger your  entry ) is KEY learning in my trading journey. 01. Market Orders : Simplest order type to quick buy and sell. The issue with market orders is that you don't know the exact price you are buying or selling at.Sometime this may results in big slippage. 02.Buy Limit Order : This order is place below the current price and filled only at or below the limit price .                                                                                                                                                        03.Sell Limit Orders : This orders is placed above the current price and filled only at or above the limit price.
