Strategy Notes: Make Stop-Loss Levels Part of Your Strategy

This breakout strategy requires strict discipline in maintaining stop-loss levels to avoid substantial losses in case of a false breakout. The potential reward-to-risk ratio appears favorable in both bullish and bearish scenarios, making this setup worth monitoring closely. False break outs may occur, as we saw at the time of market close last Friday. A false breakout may be identified when the levels are broken but there is no liquidity (for example, when the market is about to close). Generally, avoid trading on low liquidity.

Key Takeaways
