This week’s strategy video covers a very important scenario that all traders come across – trend breakouts that don’t turn out as expected.
Textbooks say that if a trendline breaks, then that’s it – another direction is certain. David explains why this isn’t necessarily true and he gives us illustrations and examples of the so-called false breakouts and shows you how to identify them.
Making the distinction between trend reversals and false breakouts can make all the difference in your portfolio as they usually happen at critical levels. These can be where support and resistance are determined or the boundaries of trend channels making it harder for traders to determine what’s next. This video will help you make that judgement with more knowledge about the different possible scenarios.

thank you for this great video really helped me , can you make a video about short term trading or binary option ? PLZ
Hi, Badi. Your comment will be taken into consideration. Thanks for posting it.
Hie Dave why dont you just make a book with all these things??? I really like the way you explain it’s very easy to understand I dont know if it is gonna be easy as well to apply.
Hi, Elijah. Your results depend on your trading strategy and discipline, as well as on the market.
Its a great hint and good explanation for me, but can you explain how to avoid false support or resistance line breakouts
Hi there. You can take a look at this video: https://youtu.be/yGfAUia6b_g.
There is no way of knowing for sure: No guarantee is ever given, no matter how sanguine or logical the situation may be.
Hi Dave. Many thanks for your weekly videos. I love them.
Could you please at some time cover concepts or strategies related to Elliott Waves?
Cheers.
Hi there. Your suggestion has been noted. You can take a look at the “What are Elliott Waves?” section in the Learning Centre at http://www.trading212.com/en/Technical-Analysis?id=6.
Thanks for your suggestion. Oh! I did it already. I also read the best seller of Prechter & Frost, but I still don’t see it clear whether Elliot Wave theory in practical cases is useful or not. Maybe you can help
Thank you!

My main concern is “brokers hunt clients stop loss orders” if a trader keep winning.
The results depend on the traders’ strategy and discipline, as well as on the market.
What other tools should be used with this to justify this is not false breakout ?
Hi, Ayush. You can watch those videos on the topic:

Hi, Shaikh. Thanks for reaching out and for sharing your suggestion. It will be taken into consideration, as always. Watch this space for new videos every week.
Trade naked fam!!! fuck indicators they catch the trend late…learn how to read candle sticks!!!!
Scorpio Indigo also moving averages help a lot
To Shaikh: Scorpio Indigo has some issues regarding his mental condition. How can one listen to a person as this? Indicators, when utilized correctly, saves the trader from too early anticipatory failing entries.
That was very clear and useful for me. Thank you!
awesome thank you!
Very nice lesson
Had this happen to me just this morning…blew my whole account
lol wtf
Stop loss hello?
You have a double top at the end of the video. Is that indicating trend reversal?
Hi – good spot. It if broke that $1216 level then yes. I think it actually did in the end but didn’t follow through. You can’t win them all.
By far the most informative channel. cleared alot of my misconceptions and gave me more confidence on my trades.
what is the trading platform you use… it looks like u r using CTRADER…..!!!! am I right?
Nope, it’s Trading 212, you can check us out with a free demo account -> https://www.trading212.com/en/Free-FOREX-Practice-Account
David. Can you make a video about Elliot Waves? Thanks!!
elliot wave is very hard trend line is better for beginner
some traders use trend lines on RSI etc..
Super Useful, Thanks David!!
if the “broke below” a trend line, then does the slope of the trend line decrease and follow that new low? I can never quite grasp where the trend line actually goes and when to move it in accordance with price action
good lesson, very clear ….
David, quite a few video from you now. You always are so good a explaining things in great detail!
and what if it’s not a false trend,but new bearish trend,how to know?
At 2:36 minutes: It is good to keep in mind the horizontals as well as the diagonals as the trader in the video indicated. This helps to keep the bigger picture.
thanks david
I hate false breakouts 😠
