Flag Course Intermediate 5 levels

Fade Failed Breakouts Training Course

The contrarian play. Catch the rejection when flags fail and ride the reversal.

Most traders learn to trade breakouts. The best traders also learn when a breakout is going to fail. The Fade Failed Breakouts course teaches the counter-trend entry: a flag breaks, the break gets rejected, and you enter in the opposite direction as disappointed breakout traders get stopped out.

Frequently asked questions

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.
