Breakout Setup Failure Rate Analysis | What can be learned from setups that failed to breakout? — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00hi guys welcome to the channel in this video I would like to share findings related to the
- 0:05breakout setup after a deep dive on stocks that didn't have a breakout I'll also share
- 0:10some observations on the data but also some thoughts on should you do such a deep dive
- 0:15or not there are more than 125 slides ahead that's why I'll keep a good Pace during the
- 0:22presentation but you pause and review the slides in more details whenever needed here are the open
- 0:28questions and how this particular presentation is structured how many setups that failed were
- 0:33identified what was one of the main observation of the Deep dive what causes a setup to fail
- 0:41in which of the 30 minute time frames are breakdowns more likely to happen how much
- 0:46volume is present in the breakdown area what is the level of correlation with spy breakouts map
- 0:532.0 adding breakdowns a very interesting part of the presentation I highly advise you not
- 0:59miss these parts what is the ADR in the breakouts and breakdowns data set and where can I get Edge
- 1:06when trading breakouts a lot of topics to cover a lot of interesting information so let's go here's
- 1:13the first one how many setups that failed were identified in the initial Deep dive I was looking
- 1:20for breakouts and a total of 963 stocks were identified however while doing the Deep dive
- 1:26I could see situations when a setup did happen there was a first leg and then a consolidation
- 1:33sideways but there was no breakouts and I was curious to see how many situations like these
- 1:40are out there and why this is happening that's why I initiated this second Deep dive where I
- 1:46was looking for the setups that failed with the assumption that understanding why they fail could
- 1:52help better predict and be in the stocks and read the stocks that are about to break out I
- 2:00was looking for setups that look like this and here are the results a total of 615 breakdowns
- 2:08were identified a pretty high number I would say later in the presentation I'll compare the
- 2:13breakouts and breakdowns on different parameters as a result this is the what you see on the left
- 2:21is referred to the breakout what you see on the right is referred to as breakdowns and when we
- 2:28discuss about the setup the setup refers to the first leg upwards and then the consolidation
- 2:34the Deep dive was done on the same stock selection as the breakouts Deep dive and included the
- 2:40same time period a total of 2578 stocks were reviewed as with the breakouts no biotech no
- 2:48ETFs were included and a timeline of January 2017 to December 2022 for more details on the
- 2:56breakout setup I highly advise you to watch these videos available on the channel what
- 3:01were the criteria for selection and what all the 615 breakdowns in the data set have
- 3:08in common a first leg of 12 momentum or higher a sideways move of at least 6 days and then to have
- 3:19a breakdown traded volume in the considered like breakdown day of more than 100K shares
- 3:29please have in mind that the study is biased there is a selection bias the study looked at setups
- 3:34that had a sharp move up or a sharp move downwards and did not consider setups that had a more
- 3:43sideways move and in addition to this there is a researcher bias meaning that some of the setups
- 3:49I selected you will not consider good setups and in addition to this there is also the researcher
- 3:56experience level so I'm a beginner and the chances of me doing wrong claims or wrong analysis is
- 4:04much higher so have this in mind as well that's why have in mind the statistical data could be
- 4:10more accurate don't take the numbers for granted rather look at what the big data patterns suggest
- 4:17okay now that's some elements about data are covered here's the next topic what was one of
- 4:22the main observations of the Deep dive and a key learning point when you study the setups with the
- 4:28breakouts you study the setups with additional momentum the market was ready to pay more and
- 4:34the stock moved up and when you do that deep dive and you look for those breakouts in the historical
- 4:39charts you look again and again and you find those breakouts with additional momentum in a sense you
- 4:47see strength this can create a perception that all or most of the tickers that set up are more likely
- 4:54to break out you may think that the goal itself is to find the setup as they move upwards is secured
- 5:00well when I did the Deep dive to look for those setups that did not break out this is what
- 5:08happened so when you study the setups that did not break out you studied the setups that did not
- 5:14benefit from additional momentum the market was not ready to pay more the stock continued sideways
- 5:20or faded and shifted in a downtrend mode looking at historical charts you see this downtrends
- 5:27you see the setup and the downtrend move again and again and what I could see is the weakness
- 5:35you see weakness sometimes even in consolidation phase well this understanding that the setup could
- 5:42show strength and could show weakness even in consolidation phase came up together after doing
- 5:50both the breakouts and breakdown Deep dive and to me is a very important element on how to better
- 5:57trade the breakout setup then I took all these breakouts and breakdowns and tried to see what is
- 6:04their repetition per year and here are the results a pattern suggested by the data is that the years
- 6:11that have more breakouts are also the years that have more breakdowns in a sense the setup is
- 6:18created when there is more momentum on the market we know that 2020 and 2021 were years with a very
- 6:26high liquidity and momentum on the market it's a very basic and logic conclusion but now there is
- 6:33also some data to prove this more momentum creates more setups and some of them break out and some of
- 6:39them break down let's go into a couple of examples so we see here a setup that is surfing nicely the
- 6:4610 days moving average sign of strength and then breakout so set up with strength here's another
- 6:53example also nice surfing and then a breakout another situation with a longer consolidation nice
- 7:01surfing of the 20 days moving average also some sign of strength and later breakouts then here is
- 7:09a situation that to me is a setup with the first leg then a consolidation area with showing some
- 7:16weakness here and then some weakness later here is another situation which to me is a setup weakness
- 7:24here and weakness later here is another setup with a lot of weakness in one day and then continuous
- 7:33weakness moving forward reviewing both breakouts and breakdowns again and again let me to this
- 7:40conclusion this setup can continue with strength and with weakness in the consolidation phase the
- 7:46setup is showing the elements of strength and weakness between the support and resistance line
- 7:51diagnosing strength and weakness in the setup is an edge this dynamic between strength and weakness
- 7:59is very similar to football or to any situation where two teams compete against each other and
- 8:06in our case it's a competition between Bulls and the Bears the example is a bit weird but give it a
- 8:13chance it will help me bring a point and football things may look random but actually in the upper
- 8:19part of the field there is the line of offense and when it comes to the setup on the upper part
- 8:25is the resistance line or what I call the front line in the lower part of the field there is the
- 8:31line of defense and the setup in the lower part has the support line well a team pressing attack
- 8:39for a long time is perceived as showing strength and is considered more likely to win when most of
- 8:45the team is in the upper part of the field for setup is similar a setup that has price action
- 8:51close to resistance is a setup that displays strength if it presses in that area for a longer
- 8:58period of time then it's more likely to break out and the other way around a team defending itself
- 9:04so a team located in the lower part of the field for an extended period is perceived as showing
- 9:11weakness and is considered more likely to lose a setup that has price action close to support
- 9:17is a setup that displays weakness or signs that the Bulls are taking a breath if it will not show
- 9:24additional momentum the setup is more likely to break down well when you trade breakouts you take
- 9:31the position of a forwarder forwarders engage in the game in particular areas of the field at
- 9:37the front they do not usually engage in defense and have a lower prances at the Midfield when it
- 9:42comes to breakout data suggests the same logic is applicable do not enter when the stock is in
- 9:47defense engage in some cases at the milled field which is an anticipation play experience needed
- 9:53and have an active action when the stock shows strength and passes their resistance front line
- 10:01well there's a big disclaimer though in football the team that attacks the most doesn't always win
- 10:06and neither does the team that has the highest possession of the ball as in football the setup
- 10:11that shows a high amount of strength doesn't always break out and neither does the setup
- 10:16that has the initiative for a longer period of time okay let's go back to charts and couple of
- 10:23examples so what you see here now on the screen is a ticker that had a breakout the data is presented
- 10:28within the 30 minute time frame intraday data with the white areas being the active trading
- 10:34hours gray areas being the after hours and we see a ticker that had a nice breakout you trying
- 10:41to diagnose did this sticker showed strength or weakness during consolidation it's a little bit
- 10:48difficult to do but as soon as I try to add the resistance line and the main support line and
- 10:55then one extra blue line that represents sort of the middle of the field then it's much easier to
- 11:03make sense of the price action so we see in this area the Bulls taking a breath and some signs of
- 11:08weakness but then strength strength offensive offensive offensive and a nice breakout later
- 11:17here's another example with the breakouts and when looking at intraday data what we could see is some
- 11:25weakness here but then some strength an attempt to break out so offensive Play Still strength uh
- 11:32offensive and then breakouts another example with a longer consolidation so we see strength of the
- 11:40setup moderate play weakness of the setup moderate strength still a lot of strength in the second
- 11:47half of consolidation and then break out and then look let's look at couple of examples where we see
- 11:55a breakdown and how the weakness usually plays so we see weakness here and an attempt to attack
- 12:02but didn't work out so weakness weakness weakness weakness and last push and then further weakness
- 12:10down another example of a breakdown again you can read here right away weakness of the setup and
- 12:18then it goes into strength so you see how these dynamics of strength and weakness very similar to
- 12:24a football game passing back and forward uh but then here we have strength and the setup shows
- 12:31weakness end of the day then starts the day with weakness and continues forward with a breakdown
- 12:39one more setup a nice area of strength for a while but then attempting and showing weakness in
- 12:48the second half of the day and attempt moderates weakness weakness weakness in the second half of
- 12:54the day weakness in the second half of the day and breaking down so the defense lost their positions
- 13:03in the previous video how important was given to the resistance line as it's very important to the
- 13:09breakout setup however studying weakness it was clear and evident that the support line also plays
- 13:17a very major role in keeping the setup together so it leads to the conclusion that both structural
- 13:23lines are equally important to the nature of the setup this is one of the main conclusion to
- 13:28summarize this part of the video understanding and becoming aware that the setup can show
- 13:33strength and weakness and starting to perceive these Dynamics proactively through the football
- 13:38field model is an important element learned while studying the setups that failed and now after
- 13:45doing both deep Dives the strength and weakness elements came together and I could see them in
- 13:50play when doing your Deep dive do this exercise highlight the support and resistance of the
- 13:56setup reviewing its strength and weakness areas identified the breakout candle this will help you
- 14:03much better learn and understand and progress in reading the setup well here's the next question
- 14:10what causes the setup to fail in 2.9 of the cases it was considered as an unexpected news catalysts
- 14:19than in 10.9 of the cases the stock started to break down a day after or in the day of an earning
- 14:28call that's why it was considered as that was the main cause of failure and Association doesn't mean
- 14:34causation but that's how I assigned it and then in 33.2 percent of the cases stock moment it was
- 14:42a stock momentum loss and in 53 percent of the cases it was considered that the market had the
- 14:49pressure on the individual ticker and it forced it to break down the stock momentum loss and markets
- 14:56pressure parts are very subjective I did them from my side based on reading the charts however don't
- 15:04take the numbers for granted look at the bigger patterns of the data let's look at a couple of
- 15:10examples so unexpected negative news cattle list here is an example with a stock care DX that
- 15:16that plunges after a competitor showed some good results in a trial here is another example with a
- 15:24good setup nice consolidation but then there was some serious concerns on a plan merger it didn't
- 15:33go through as a result the stock plunged right after the news and here's another example where
- 15:41the stocks create a setup shows some strikes even breaks out but then there is an announcement of 10
- 15:49million share secondary shares offering and there is a big gap down here's another example where we
- 15:56have a nice first leg good consolidation a nice slide sliding on the 10 days moving average but
- 16:04then we get the news that's a company that wanted to acquire Dixie walked away and based on that
- 16:11the stock breaks down a conclusion here negative news catalysts don't happen often but can create
- 16:18a significant shift in momentum and major losses if not managed correctly here's the next cause
- 16:24of failure earning calls a total of 10.9 percent of situations when a setup breakdown a day after
- 16:31or in the day of earning call announcements a pretty high number of situations and we'll see
- 16:38in the examples it's very impactful a study was done for the breakouts as well and what we see
- 16:43is a total of 5.7 of breakouts 52 out of 963 moved upwards after an earning call and 10.9
- 16:53or 67 out of 615 moved downwards after an earning call still a higher number of breakdowns and the
- 17:05earning calls may have a way more negative impact on the setup than a positive impact
- 17:12let's look at couple of examples so here we see a first leg then a little bit of a
- 17:18choppy wavy consolidation but then look at the earning call at and what a gap next another one
- 17:25nice momentum shopping but then it breakouts couple of days later earning calls done nice
- 17:32first leg type consolidation then earnings and a breakdown another set of significant gap down
- 17:42another example low momentum consolidation earnings giving back all the gains another
- 17:49one with the higher Gap after earnings another significant momentum uh sliding and the sideway
- 17:58move and then earning calls and what's a big loss of momentum and significant losses to the account
- 18:06if not managed well another example of damage to the setup and to the accounts another example
- 18:15earning calls damage so what we saw earning calls can be damage damage damage entering the setup a
- 18:23few days ahead of earnings can be a very bad idea and I gave an additional number of examples so
- 18:31that you see how bad the impact of earnings can be on a setup the next cause of failure stock
- 18:39momentum laws in 33.2 percent of the cases we will look at couple of examples stock momentum loss was
- 18:46assigned to a ticker when we see the markets the overall Market in an uptrend but the stock still
- 18:54loses momentum and the price continues to move downwards let's go look at couple of examples
- 19:01so what we see here on the right is spy we see a move upwards stock continues downwards sideway
- 19:09and still an upward move the stock downwards as a bit of correction upward move major move downwards
- 19:20upward move that individual ticker loses momentum so it's a momentum loss goes downwards upward
- 19:29momentum on spy momentum loss on the individual ticker upward momentum nice first like sideway
- 19:38consolidation but then loss of momentum a bit of correction here Market pretty choppy but
- 19:45still upward and let's see that individual ticker loss of momentum upwards major loss
- 19:53of momentum upwards it's a loss of momentum a bit of upward side weight but then the ticker
- 20:01again upward that leads to the conclusion in some situations even if the stock shows good
- 20:08initial momentum in the first leg the market will not be ready to pay more for whatever reason and
- 20:14the individual ticker will lose momentum even if their overall Market continues to move up
- 20:22and here is the last cause of a setup to fail Market pressure assigned in 53 percent of the
- 20:28cases the majority of situation when a setup is breaking down is because there is a correction
- 20:35on spy let's look at couple of examples here is the spy on the right and we see it goes through
- 20:41a correction and the setup is breaking as well a correction the setup doesn't keep under the
- 20:48pressure of the market here is a correction ahead and the setup is anticipating sort of
- 20:55the correction and also breaks down another setup in the same couple of days ahead of the correction
- 21:03it's also breaking down correction breaking down correction breaking down a smaller correction but
- 21:15also we see on the setup breaking down here an example where the correction happened the
- 21:21setup hold for a long longer period of time but then under the pressure of the
- 21:27markets it also goes in a breakdown a small correction the setup in a small correction
- 21:35a small correction here A Tiny correction here we see how the individual ticker is following
- 21:43the market Trend the April of 22 we have a market correction also happening on the ticker
- 21:53the same losing momentum a market correction a ticker that lost a lot of its value overall the
- 22:01market has a major impact on the performance of the setup and a good coordination between
- 22:08what the individual ticker strength and weakness looks like and the overall market performance is
- 22:15always needed when trading the breakout setup here it is again the slide with the full list
- 22:22of causes of failure I hope all those examples that were shared convince you that a good process
- 22:30and a good risk management should be in place to trade the setup well and to protect your capital
- 22:37I will end this part of the presentation with the code from Christian stop loss is your best friend
- 22:46the next topic we'll look into is in which of the 30 minute time frames are breakdowns more
- 22:51likely to happen a similar study was done for the breakout setup as well a day has a total of 13 30
- 22:59minute time frames and what I was looking for is to see in which particular 30 minutes candle the
- 23:07breakdown is happening and in this case I also considered its structural candle of course I
- 23:14wanted to give it a name and because it's the moment when all this flow is going downwards I
- 23:23gave the name the waterfall candle the 30 minute candle on which an entry with the stop at the
- 23:28candle's law will maintain you in the position and represents the entry with the lowest risk here are
- 23:34the results very similar surprisingly similar to what the breakouts data was 58 of breakdowns
- 23:43happen within the first hour of the trading day 79 before 12 pm and if adding them Side by size
- 23:52the breakouts in green and the breakdowns in red per time frame we see that the price action is
- 23:59quite similar even if in opposite direction and at different locations I will let you pause and
- 24:06review the data in more details but yeah this led me to another conclusion a similar Behavior
- 24:13at support and resistance can suggest that both structural lines are equally important to the
- 24:19nature of this particular setup the conclusion very similar price action in opposite direction in
- 24:26the 30 minute time frames for both the breakouts and breakdown setup a short wrap up and some key
- 24:32ideas that were covered so far first we looked into a way to diagonal strength and weakness
- 24:39through that football field model then we also covered the support and resistance lines and
- 24:45how important they are to the structure of the setup and we looked into the causes of failure
- 24:52and examples that prove that it's very important to have a very good quality risk management
- 24:59the presentation you are watching now plus three more in addition to the data set with
- 25:05breakouts and breakdowns daily and intraday data with side-by-side comparison with pi
- 25:11and then Excel file with measurements plus the breakout map and an exercise with 100 breakouts
- 25:18and a hundred breakdowns with intraday data so that you are able to identify the structural
- 25:23elements and practice strength and weakness all this content is available for download on the
- 25:30link in the description thank you to everyone that downloaded you made this video possible and thank
- 25:37you for support let's move on to the next question what is the level of correlation with pi to study
- 25:43the correlation a side-by-side comparison between the price action of the individual ticker which is
- 25:49displayed on the left was performed on The Daily chart with what the overall markets or spy did
- 25:55within the next 7 to 10 days after the breakdown happens in this case the market moved in an upside
- 26:02Trend in this case we see the breakdown happened and in this period the market was in a sideways
- 26:09Trend and here it has an is an example when a breakdown is happening and after the market
- 26:16is already in a correction but then after the breakdown they it also continued moving downwards
- 26:24and here are the results a similar study was done for the breakouts and we see a very big majority
- 26:30of cases spy is moving upwards in the next seven to ten days after the breakout happened when doing
- 26:39a similar analysis for the breakdowns here it is the situation is changing the breakdowns happen in
- 26:47a majority of cases in one spy is in a downtrend move a bullish environment is more favorable for
- 26:55the breakouts to succeed and a bearish environment is more favorable for breakdown rounds it's common
- 27:01science but now I also have this context awareness and how important is the price action within the 7
- 27:10to 10 days periods after a breakout or a breakdown is happening and the more General conclusion the
- 27:19market has a major impact on the performance of the setup in addition to this I looked if the
- 27:2510 days moving average is above 20 days moving average on spy when the breakouts or breakdowns
- 27:32are happening here are the results in 80 percent of cases when the breakouts happen at 10 days ma
- 27:40is above 20ma but when breakdowns are happening the 10 days is above 20 days moving average in
- 27:4976 percent of the cases this was surprising and a bit unexpected both the breakouts and
- 27:56the breakdowns are more likely to happen in the bullish Market environment when 10 days is about
- 28:0220 days moving average I wanted to step back and see how many breakouts and breakdowns happened per
- 28:11month within this six years time period period that was studied and what you see on the upper
- 28:18part the breakouts and the lower part breakdowns so many and happening often overall this is a good
- 28:27learning point for trading breakouts the study was still intended to understand how to better trade
- 28:34the breakouts there is a breakout setup noise that must be a risk managed correctly in order to be
- 28:41profitable on the long run there are always set up as we see across the years when and situation
- 28:49when setups are forming but for whatever the cause they lose momentum they don't break out but these
- 28:57particular situations are the risky situations when you can encounter losses in addition I try
- 29:04to plug on top of the the charts areas and months when the market was in a correction we see here a
- 29:11correction almost no breakouts but still some breakdowns no breakout at all some breakdowns
- 29:19no breakouts some breakdowns and then the bear Market of 2022 bikes in breakouts in breakdowns it
- 29:30is important to have a balanced approach and good understanding of the market context to correctly
- 29:34evaluate what Market you're going through and what outcomes are more likely to happen
- 29:40something to highlight about 2022 bear market and an observation on breakouts and breakdowns
- 29:46considering this was a year highly impacted by energy sector geopolitical situation and there
- 29:55was a major context to it if we remove the energy sector breakouts and breakdowns then
- 30:01what we see is that in 2022 we decreased down to 1996 breakouts and 95 breakdowns it's a similar
- 30:11number more or less to what happened in 2018 so definitely not the best favorable year to trade
- 30:21the breakout setup and here's the next topic the breakouts map 2.0 adding breakdowns first here are
- 30:30some details on how to read the chart so what you see is the Spy charts one chart means one
- 30:36year of data in this case it's breakouts map and breakdowns map for 2017 the moving average is are
- 30:45the 10 20 50 and 100 days moving averages every time you see an arrow up that's a breakout every
- 30:53time you see a arrow down that's a breakdown a day it's the day when the breakdown started every
- 31:00time you see a arrow up with a DOT on top that's breakouts that happened the day after or in the
- 31:09day when an earning call was so an association with an earning call Trigger or Catalyst could
- 31:16be in place and the same is applicable for the breakdown setup color coding is displayed on the
- 31:24bottom of the chart I advise you to pause and review the chart in details for 2017 a
- 31:31comment to highlight breakouts and breakdowns happen in clusters within sectors as we see in
- 31:38this case technology technology energy here breakouts come in cluster of breakouts as we
- 31:45see here here here here here and breakdowns come in clusters of breakdowns as we see here and here
- 31:57's the breakouts and breakdowns map for the 2018 what I highlighted here was first in
- 32:05periods of Major Market Corrections there are no breakouts and neither many breakdowns most
- 32:12likely because the individual tickers cannot create the first leg of the setup the next
- 32:17elements I highlighted the market Corrections cause failure of the setup and represent a good
- 32:24opportunity to enter the setup on the short sides we see a market correction here and a
- 32:31lot of breakdowns we see a market correction here breakdown many breakdowns many breakdowns
- 32:38as well here's the map of 2019 I let you pause and review the charts here are the comments I
- 32:48highlighted on this one first a high number of breakdowns happened even when 10ma is above 20ma
- 32:56some tickers or sectors are losing momentum even in an overall strong Market environment
- 33:02this chart shows very well that from the beginning of the year till the end of the year we see the
- 33:1010 days moving average above 20 almost most of the time here and and here and even so in
- 33:18this period highlighted very well here 10 days is above 20 days moving average and we see how many
- 33:25breakdowns happened a lot of them also happening because of some news after earning calls but they
- 33:33do happen in addition to this this chart is highlighting very well that a sharp bullish
- 33:40handle on Spire with further further upwards momentum generates many breakouts we can see
- 33:47a sharp bullish candle here we can see a sharp bullish candle here and one highlighted here
- 33:54following this we see a lot of breakouts here a lot of breakouts here and a lot of breakout here
- 34:01and the same is applicable on the bearish side a sharp bearish candle on spy with further downward
- 34:08momentum generates many breakdowns we can see that here with breakdowns following we can see
- 34:16that here with many breakdowns Following also some of them having the earnings day
- 34:24in the same day another sharp candle bearish candle on spy and a lot of breakdowns created
- 34:34the breakouts and breakdowns map of 2020 what a crazy year especially here in the second half of
- 34:43the Year here is what I highlighted there are periods when there are way more breakouts and
- 34:49periods when there are way more breakdowns understanding how to position yourself can
- 34:53be an edge spy can give good suggestion on what setup is more likely at the end of 2020 and the
- 35:02beginning of 2021 was just crazy also a big amount of breakdowns happening here is what I highlighted
- 35:11for this chart there are areas with breakout traps situation when after a good series of breakouts
- 35:18many setups are forming but they break down these areas can generate big losses where we can see
- 35:25that we see here a lot of breakouts But Then followed by breakdowns a lot of breakdown codes
- 35:32followed by breakdowns a lot of breakouts and then changing sentiments the market still goes upwards
- 35:41but there is a lot of setups that do break down a lot of breakouts and followed by some breakdowns
- 35:51in addition many setups form due to a good Market momentum in this area we see spy moving up a lot
- 35:59of setups created the first leg went into a consolidation but then they failed as soon as
- 36:05earnings calls happens and and then usually High number of breakdowns happening in this
- 36:13example in 2021 here is the last chart in the group of breakouts and breakdowns map
- 36:20it's the year of 2022 here are the comments that I highlighted on my side breakouts and
- 36:26breakdown setup gave many opportunities during the 2022 bear Market breakdowns happen a few days
- 36:32before the 10ma crosses the 20ma on the downside and when we see an well-defined downside Trend
- 36:41and correction from Spy and from the overall Market we can see that as a good example here
- 36:49across on the downside and then markets moving downwards and a lot of breakdowns here another
- 36:58example when we see a reverse a lot of breakdowns happening here another change of Trends a lot of
- 37:06breakdowns happening and here as well a lot of breakdowns happen so that was it in terms of
- 37:12charts and looking at all these six years of charts with breakout outs and breakdowns and
- 37:19stepping back as a general conclusion there are many setups that fail without good knowledge and
- 37:25process in place you can lose all the money you have and all the money you can borrow
- 37:32an analysis to the ADR was done on the historical charts in the data set for
- 37:37both breakouts and breakdowns the formula for EDR can be also found on Christian's blog for
- 37:44both dc2000 and trading view because I was working with trading view this time it was
- 37:50very convenient to add it as an indicator on the chart it is this Elon line on top
- 37:57and in the moment when it crosses the daily dotted line crosses the ADR it's this number on the chart
- 38:07here are the results in the data sets 359 stocks or 37.3 percent of the total have an ADR below
- 38:16four percent this is a good and bad news in the same time additional study is needed what is for
- 38:24sure is that Christian advises to trade setups with an ADR of 4.5 to 5 or higher on my side the
- 38:34data set had a lot of tickers with an ADR below four percent share a couple of examples here is
- 38:42a setup with 2.16 ADR here is another breakout with 164 ADR here is another example of with
- 38:51that setup that looks okay but it has a 2.36 ADR additional study is needed and when I put
- 39:00the breakouts and breakdowns ADR on the same chart here are the results looks like the four percent
- 39:07Mark is like a silver line all that happens below four percent in that area the setups with the low
- 39:16ADR are more likely to break down and when we cross four percent at the beginning it's kind
- 39:23of equal but later setups with the higher ADR are more likely to break out what data suggests about
- 39:33the character and skills needed for the breakout setup after looking at so many breakdowns well
- 39:40looking at failing setup is like looking at many car crashes there are many situations when things
- 39:47go totally wrong you'd understand that you must drive with responsibility balance maturity and
- 39:53awareness good knowledge and process should be in place if you want to make it on the long run
- 39:57taking these qualities and plugging them on that football field thing and depending on the area
- 40:05where the setup is at the moment then you need to display different qualities and character at that
- 40:12particular time for example you have to be more grounded balanced patient constantly diagnosing
- 40:18and aware of individual stocks and market dynamics when the consolidation is happening
- 40:24and the stock shows moderate actions but then as soon as the stock is starting to show more
- 40:31strength approaching the line of resistance then it's expected to be more decisive there should be
- 40:39that sense of don't give up and Trader has to display sharpness and quickness in action the
- 40:47same is the case when there is an attempt to trade the breakdown where can I get Edge when trading
- 40:55breakouts in the previous video these were the key qualities and elements highlighted in order to get
- 41:02Edge so recognize the setup entry I'd liftoff a good understanding on the market context trading
- 41:07character and skills well after seeing so many failures and setups that did not break out here
- 41:16is how the new breakout kalamagi style Edge graph looks like recognize and diagnose the setup is by
- 41:25far the biggest change recognizing the setup is in a sense easy after a while it's way more difficult
- 41:33to constantly be able to diagnose correctly the strength and weakness of the setup to watch for
- 41:40these Dynamics and plan your actions in the future more importance has to be added to this element of
- 41:48correctly diagnosing the setup entry at liftoff candle remains Market content proved again as
- 41:55being very important trading character and skills added more balance maturity awareness and seeing
- 42:04that things can go very well in a lot of cases and things can go totally wrong in many cases
- 42:15here's a new attempt to create the breakouts Calamity style setup overview it's still work
- 42:20in progress well what we have is a setup the first leg is created on average between three to seven
- 42:28days and has a first leg of 12 momentum or higher then the stock started to go in the sideways move
- 42:38of consolidation between 7 to 12 days and this time there is a major resistance line at the top
- 42:48which is I called front line and a similar in importance support line then the setup goes in
- 42:56a consolidation and dynamic between strength and weakness that can be read similar to a football
- 43:04game and if the strength is high the market is favorable then most likely the setup will
- 43:14break out in the first one hour of the day or before 12 pm if not the setup up shows weakness
- 43:23and if the market is unfavorable the setup will most likely break down with the start through a
- 43:32waterfall candle that happens within 58 of the cases within the first one hour of the day 79
- 43:40of the cases before 12 p.m a very high importance is to not enter the setup before earnings because
- 43:51they represent the biggest cause of major failure of the setup and in terms of volume the breakout
- 43:59happens with higher volume on The Daily and intraday 30-minute chart with them breakdowns
- 44:07having a more step-by-step fading activity well that was it I hope you liked the Deep
- 44:15dive coming soon breakouts color Market style in biotech this sector was kept on the sides
- 44:21due to its reputation but now wood will be in Focus the main question to be answered is this
- 44:28industry any different should I trade breakouts in the industry we'll look at both breakouts and
- 44:34breakdowns to see if there is something be worried about give it a like on YouTube subscribe and make
- 44:43sure to retweet it on Twitter this helped me super much thank you best of luck peace
