We\u2019re supposed to be talking about trading breakouts<\/strong>, not playing<\/em> Breakout!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Trading<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sorry about that. Where were we\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When trading breakouts<\/strong> in forex, it is important to realize that there are two main types:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Continuation breakouts<\/strong><\/li>
  2. Reversal breakouts<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Knowing what type of breakout you are seeing will help you make sense of what is actually happening in the big picture of the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Breakouts are significant because they indicate a change in the supply and demand of the currency pair you are trading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This change in sentiment can cause extensive moves that provide excellent opportunities for you to grab some pips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Continuation Breakouts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Sometimes when there is an extensive move in one direction the market will often take a breather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This occurs when buyers and sellers pause to see what they should do next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As a result, you will see a period of range-bound movement called consolidation<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Consolidation<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    If traders decide that the initial trend was the right decision, and continue to push the price in the same direction, the result is a continuation breakout<\/strong>. Just think of it as a \u201ccontinuation\u201d of the initial trend\u2026 You\u2019re so smart!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Continuation<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Reversal Breakouts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Reversal breakouts<\/strong> start off the same way as continuation breakouts in the fact that after a long trend, there tends to be a pause or consolidation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Downtrend<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The only difference is that after this consolidation, forex traders decide that the trend is exhausted and push the price in the opposite or \u201creverse\u201d direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As a result, you have what is called a \u201creversal breakout\u201d. You catch on quick!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Reversal<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    False Breakouts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Now we know by now you are super excited to start trading breakouts but you also have to be careful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Just like Lionel Messi can fake out defenders, the market can fake you out as well and produce false breakouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    False breakouts<\/strong> occur when the price breaks past a certain level (support, resistance, triangle, trend line, etc.) but don\u2019t continue to accelerate in that direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Instead, what you might\u2019ve seen was a short spike followed by the price moving back into its trading range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"False<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    A good way to enter on a breakout is to wait until the price retraces back to the original breakout level<\/strong> and then wait to see if it bounces back to create a new high or low (depending on which direction you are trading).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"How<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Another way to combat fakeouts is by not taking the first breakout you see<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    By waiting to see if the price will continue to move in your intended direction, you give yourself a better chance of making a profitable trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The downside to this is that you may miss out on some trades in which the price moves quickly without any hesitation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
