Re: How do you determine a breakout from a false breakout?

Objectively a breakout fails if I have an entry signal and it hits the corresponding stops.

It may then be followed by another breakout which may or may not fail.

A breakout succeeds if I exit with a profit.


This is a traders answer not an analysts answer. Every trade is a combination of risk and reward.
