How to play the forex breakout trade:
It’s simple, we will play a pending sell order (yellow dotted line) right below the low of the previous low.
And our stop loss ( pink dotted line ) will be placed above the entry, behind several bars so that we will have a good resistance if price heads back up. Since price is making a new low. There is no previous data on how low it will come to. Therefore, we will take our first profit off the table when the bar eventually breakout and closes.(marked by take profit 1)And we will be trailing it for our take profit 2. So you can see from this quick scenario of how easy it is to play a breakout trade and the risk reward is great.
