## FAQ

### Is fading riskier than trading breakouts?

Different risk, not necessarily higher. Fades have tight stops and explosive payoffs when right; breakouts have looser stops and slower targets. Use both.

### Do I need to finish Bull/Bear Flag first?

Strongly recommended. You can't tell a failed flag from a regular pullback if you don't know what a clean flag looks like.
