Breakout Trading Strategy - page 2

 

i use breakout strategi...

Look for daily trend chart ( it it's "long" so Open long if it 's "short" than open short )

OP = Open price +/- 20 ( depend on trend )

TP 50 pips SL 50 pips...

How does that work for you? Is it reliable?

I look for consolidation. I dont always find it, but last night had a good consolidation pattern on GBPJPY. I got about 50 pips out of a 100 pip move. I wish I'd stayed up because within t 3 hrs or so it dropped like a rock about 300 pips this morning. ;-) Oh well...next time.
