Breakout Confirmation Strategy
Most bad breakout trades come from entering too early. A confirmation-based breakout approach waits for acceptance before risk is committed.
Core rules
Strategy
Rule
Do not buy the first spike through resistance or sell the first break below support.
Rule
Require a close outside the level, then a hold or retest.
Rule
If the break fails quickly, the reversal often becomes the better setup.
Practical note
Breakouts are strongest after acceptance, not excitement.
