What is really a “breakout”?

A breakout occurs when the price breaks a significant high and makes a new high. This is the

definition. Let's give an example.

 

 

Another breakout occurs when the price breaks a significant low and makes a new low.

 

 

It looks simple. Most traders are trying to catch these breakouts and to make money on the accelerated price move. A so-called momentum trader places his buy-stop order just above the significant high. He is waiting for this high breakout. If the breakout didn't happen, he cancels his buy-stop order and prepares for the next trade. If the breakout happens and his buy-stop target is filled, his trading platform automatically opens a long position. The same holds for a low breakout (in that case, trader would place a sell-stop order). Why traders are doing that? Because the price action typically accelerates after a breakout and results in a nice profit. But it's not so sweet every time. There is a risk of significant loss. The nightmares of momentum traders are “false breakouts” and they often happen. Let's explain why.
