  • Thanks Rayner! Understand in some situation, like in US market, many investments are marginal 1 : 10 with 10% stop-loss or release of stocks. Most influential big players if they want to enter, they usually drive down 10% more first before the turning point of up-trend.

    Do you have any advice on how to trade such scenarios?

    E.g. SIG in NYSE

  • Rayner once a breakout occur should I wait for second candle before entering let say on tf5min because I often hit my stop loss if I enter upon breakout and it retract and becomes a pin bar and if I wait for second candle the price have move to far from my resistant or support and my stop loss going to be to big. This has always been my problem. Waiting for your good advice. Thanks. Nazda.

    • Hi Nazda,

      There’s really no right or wrong way to this.

      False breakouts are part and parcel of trading and you have to accept it.

      If you find it easier to trade by waiting for a “confirmation” then go for it.

    • Enter instead at the Bottom support level of the Breakout pattern, Then it won’t matter if it retracts!

  • Thank you Rayner,
    When trading, people often tends to chase after a break out and very often the price is already a distance from the structure and built-up. Especially when the price keeps on moving up, nobody wants to be left out. Once you are in, often gets trap and the price starts moving down.
    This video is excellent reminder to me.

  • Thanks Rayner….makes so much more sense….however a doubt, when you do these charts to see all these areas, what do you use as timeframe, daily or 4H? Which one do you recommend? Thanks again

  • Hi Rayner,

    Thanks for the great lesson.

    However I doubts is on the part “trade breakouts with build up”

    You stated that when price action moved to a resistance zone n consolidate, it were most possible due to two reasons, 1. There isn’t any seller n 2. There are buyers willing to buy this price level, so there is better possibility that the price will go upwards after the consolidation. But why can’t be the possibility to be on vice versa. I.e, 1. There isn’t any buyer to push the price up, n 2. There are more seller coming in to put the price down, after all the price was at the resistance zone.

    Thank you.

    • Hi Robert

      That’s possible as well. But based on my experience the more times SR is tested, the more likely it is to breakout as stops are accumulated beyond the levels.

      • Do you mean most trader will execute short trade with stop loss above the resistance level, money market will breakout n eat those stoploss ?

        Reply

        • Hi Robert,

          It’s likely traders will have their stops above resistance as that’s what they are taught to do. And if there’s enough incentive by the “big players”, they could run the market higher and trigger those stops.

    Thank you

  • Thanks for this video Rayner. It made it clear for me what are the more favourable set ups and avoid being caught up in false ones. Very often I just look at the “close range” angle of the chart (3 months) so I get excited immediately to jump in without much consideration to look at the general trend. SOmetimes…I win in this but often I get caught in false break outs. This is very helpful and so are the other stuff you wrote. I hope there are lot more coming 🙂
    More power to you Man!

  • Wow, thanks Rayner! Awesome video, man 🙂

    This answered a LOT of questions going through my head regarding breakouts. I’ve read and been taught to look for breakouts before but this video amplified previous learnings. I can now look at charts from a different vantage point. Hopefully i will start seeing what I need to see more clearly and act faster.

    Cheers and more power to you!

  • Will my chances of trading breakouts be more successful during bull markets than in bear markets or major corrections?

  • Thanks for this great video Rayner. I’ve been following your blogs through twitter for 2 weeks now and it had been a blast learning a lot. I do have a question though. Is volume necessary part of a breakout (i.e. volume should be higher than the average)?

    Thanks in advance!

  • Hi Rayner
    I know it’s best to trade direction of trend. But during a bull market of say the spy, qqq ect. , some stocks are bull market and some are bear market. Is it best to buy a bullish stock while it’s rising and at the same time the overall market is rising that particular day. Or do you feel it isn’t necessary for the overall market to be rising that day as long as the individual stock your buying is rising???

  • You might be wondering, why Rayner keeps posting the same old videos.

    I’ll break it down for you my friiiineds.

    When ever you see a post here, or on telegram, you open the post only to find a link to an old video, don’t go ahhhg, I’ve seen this. NO’ it’s a reference to what the markets are doing at that particular time and for the week ahead.
    e.g, this breakout post is from way back but go see what OIL is doing, nzdusd is doing, Btc is doing, the list is just long, hence he always says DYOR. My point here is, this is him mentoring you for free once again.

    Powerful stuff right?‍♂️

    Thank you Rayner (breakout week) Teo.
