Recommended Posts

Need advice from veterans and professional traders. I have been trying playing break out game with so so result. Let's say that key resistance for emini SP is 900 , at what point should I place my buy stop for playing break out game, 901, 902?.

 

In the same way, suppose, key support for emini SP is 870 , at what point I should place my buy limit for playing bounce up game.

 

Thx!!!

Sell the 900 and Buy the 870. ES is a fading market.

To play a breakout you need some other confirmation, esp on the ES. If you have resistance at 900, when price travels there, you need something else to tell you it's time to jump on the train to 910 or whatever your upside is. Just buying above your resistance hoping for the move is too risky IMO.

 

I like breakouts when they show up. For my trading they don't show up that much as I am typically looking to buy the LOD and sell the HOD.

ask a hundred people...

and you will get a hundred "resistance".

 

 

how to trade break out?

depends on how you define resistance.

 

if you draw enough lines on the chart,

sooner or later, the price is going to hit it.

 

sorry I seem so unhelpful...

but I really think you are digging into a rabbit hole that gets nowhere.

 

to borrow a line from a seasoned trader:

"The question is not whether if the trade will go in your direction,

the question is... what if it doesn't."

 

you really need to look one step beyond your question:

 

1. what if the price hits your resistance... then retreats.

-- at what point are you going to say: "fk it, that's a false breakout!"

 

2. what if the price breaks out, then retreats back to your entry point.

-- are you going to hold? or are you going to bail?

-- what are the basis of your decision?

 

3. what if the price comes near your resistance...

-- what will make you say: "this is going the other direction, I am changing my analysis!"

 

 

 

if you can answer these questions... you can trade any resistance/support.

Resistance is seldom at a 'line' it is usually an area x to y. Of course x and y are somewhat 'fuzzy'. This is before you even start to determine what constitutes a break out. if you are generous on your zone then you can probably be tight on your break out.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
