If you want to find solid breakout patterns, you need to hone in on your criteria. Look for high-volume breakouts … But if it’s just breaking out an average, there probably aren’t enough buyers to continue the move.
Look at the 60-day average volume. If the stock isn’t trading double or 5–10 times the 60-day average volume — avoid it.
Here’s where scans and charts can really come in handy. Focus on clean charts. But also remember to check for catalysts. If there’s no news behind the breakout, how solid is it? Without news, the chance that new buyers will continue to step in is pretty slim.
You want something meaty, something that will excite traders. So focus on substantial news — earnings, big-name contract wins, new products, and hot sectors.
Also, you generally wanna try to avoid stocks that aren't in a hot sector. Here’s one of the great things about the stock market: it’s rarely boring. Every day, there's something new. And there’s almost always a hot sector … All kinds of things can move stocks: medical breakthroughs, cancer, bitcoin, weed, biotech, Ebola, and so much more.
This next tip really applies to afternoon breakouts, but try to avoid buying a stock if it's under VWAP. A lot of these stocks will tempt you with those first three components — volume, sector, and news. But if it's under VWAP late in the day, often that stock can have a weak open the next day. That’s when it might bounce, so you might be able to buy it at a better price later.
Last — and this is simple — look at multi-year breakouts. Look at one-year, five-year, and 10-year charts. Don’t be fooled by the five-day, 30-day, or 90-day chart … It might look like a breakout, but you need to zoom out. Look for resistance points, areas of long-term consolidation.
Remember, the more things you can line up in your favor, the stronger the case for your trade. Get into your sniper mindset. Focus on only the best setups.

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Stackalope says:

    Breakout strategy was what led me to what I thought was success. I grew my account over 300% in 5 months and then after that suddenly the strategy stopped working. 2 months later I was at zero. I don't think I implemented the tips you shared in this video. Maybe I shall try again.

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Lee Jones says:

    I like the Breakouts for sure!! Thanks Tim! ✨💪😊😎

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Vizionary_trading says:

    Very good point. I used to trade B/O’s but I get faked out more than anything (based on my back testing). Now I usually just wait for the breakout, then a dip 50% or lower and enter there. Better r/r for me.

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars New Job says:

    More solid information in 15 minutes than many others give in one hour. …."Brevity is close to Godliness".

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars SD says:

    Is it better to buy the break out once it hits the pre-market high or by the break out as it’s filling the gap like to U shape right before the pre-market high?

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Gary Porter says:

    Thanks TB

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars PlatSoul says:

    I'm testing 20 bucks on day trade since I'm a really begginer. It's been 5 days that every bollean bottom hit I avoid to buy, bounces to upper bollean line within minutes. And every single bollean bottom hit I buy becomes a nose dive (6 ou 7 times IN A ROW already). I can't understand how unlucky I am. I'm avoinding to buy on those down lines because of the dips I already got. When I avoid, stock goes up. When I do not avoid and take the risk, the next up is lower than my buy point, causing hours to get that price back to make it even. It's so frustating

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars UruSama says:

    Ive bought a couple breakouts and into a few false ones. Yesterday I went to buy into one and realized I already used up my buying power for that day, so I couldnt and then had to watch it skyrocket without me, ahhhh! it was sad!

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars BE GRATEFUL says:

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars JC McClain says:

    1. Good price action and volume 2X 5X 10X higher than 60day avg

    2. Must have strong News-Earnings-Catalyst is best if hot sector

    3. Avoid stocks that are NOT in a hot sector (Hot sector is currently COVID related)

    4. Avoid overnight trade if below VWAP near close

    5. Look for Breakouts on the 5yr, 1yr chart, Look for resistance on these charts that it must break to be a true break out.

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Skyler Guerrero says:

    Breakouts are awesome! They are easy to trade if you are prepared. I am new to trading but the best lesson I've learned yet is to wait for the perfect opportunity and be patient. Thanks for the lesson bud!
