Breakout Trading

Understand the idea

A breakout is a move beyond a defined range or level. A plan needs an entry condition, an invalidation point, and enough room for the idea to make sense. A move beyond the line can still fail.

A decision to think through

Contrast entering during compression, entering on a break, and chasing after expansion. Each produces a different distance to the same invalidation point.
