In larger ranges I try to get in somewhere in the middle and hope it goes out the other side. For tighter ranges, a common technique is to draw a box or trend lines and wait for the pullback then trade the bounce. Regardless, I try to avoid trading the break. Often easier said than done however.

lately Hubert has been drawing boxes around prices to trade a break out

It's easy when you are old and slow like me. I saw the move developing, knew what I wanted to do and as soon is it hit the mark my mind snapped out orders... Buy Stop Limit at projected UpClose...and my body said, "You talkin' to me..."

I missed the Push Button ... and entered later on a pullback ... although it was a couple of ticks from my original point of entry...

My Advice... don't get old and decrepit...


I'm just a simple man trading a simple plan.

My daddy always said, "Every day above ground is a good day!"

@cory, not sure who hubert is, but can you share the specifics of the strategy? I always had hard time trading breakouts, so would be interested to hear about it. Thanks.
