Today’s trading strategy video is not one for the faint-hearted. False breakouts are one of those setups that require skill to identify and even more skill to trade successfully.
Luckily we have an experienced trader like David Jones with us to pinpoint the factors that make the difference between winning and losing using this aggressive trading strategy.
And there is one thing that you’ll have to accept early on when trading false breakouts – there will be higher risk than usual. False breakouts are known to occur relatively frequently and can come with sharp moves in both directions as they react to support and resistance levels.
Managing risk is important for all traders, regardless of their style and approach to the market but in this case it plays an even bigger role and David talks about that as well.
Let us know if you agree or disagree with this strategy and ask us any questions you might have in the comments.

Thanks Mr Jones one has learned a lots from your videos keep them coming Sir.
Would be great if you could do a video series where YOU start with a 10,000 practise account and show us your progress over a month. Then explain each trade made and why
yes, that would be awesome, but…I dont believe anyone will do this for free 🙂
Amazing video and well in-depth explanation!
Helpful for both beginners and expert professional traders!
Hi David. Philippine stock exchange does not allow online accounts to have a stop loss. What would you suggest to be the best work around for that?
Hi – I am not sure there is one. Maybe set up an alert if possible so if the share gets near where your stop loss would be, you can at least trade manually?
The fact that all of these videos are free and you are giving us detailed breakdowns of how not only you like to trade but all differnt styles of trading blows me away. Thank you for what you guys do.
How many confirm candle stick should you look out for??? Like to see wether or not it’s a false breakout
Hi – for me the important thing is what happens after the breakout. When the market retraces and then tries again, does it fail? That’s the confirmation that it could be a false break.
When do companies pay out dividends on the stock market?

Who would have thought Davy Jones would end up leaving his life of tormenting people who die at sea and become a succesful market trader and YouTuber
is this all technique can also be applicable for Indian markets also
Hi David,
For the $-yen example, it looks more like a downward trend to me (rather than a flat range). This would make the downward move a continuation (rather than a breakout) and the actual breakout was the final move up. Keen to hear your thoughts.
Thanks for the videos.
Hi David,
Love your tutorial. I am a bit confused about how support and resistance levels are identified. How do you know how far back in time to look to spot those levels?
Keen to know your take on this.
Thanks a lot.
Good question. The text book approach is to go as far back as possible. I would always have a look at the big picture when I am looking at a market I am not familiar with. If you are a short term trader, then levels over the past few days weeks are probably the ones you will be focusing on.
Great man
thx a lot sir
Good explanation in simplest way…. thanks
2:02 what happened there in the background? Made me laugh haha
