Drawing a straight line on the chart is easy, but actually placing an order is always hesitant.



Why is that? Many people think it's a technical issue, but it actually boils down to mindset.

Staring fixedly at the first breakout opportunity, afraid of missing even a small profit. As a result, they get repeatedly fooled by false signals and are forced out. When the real trend unfolds, they lack the courage to jump in.

For traders, there's a more reliable approach—don't rush to chase the first breakout, but wait for a second confirmation or even a third test.

**Step 1: Identify Key Structures**
Where is there obvious support or resistance? Where are the trend boundaries? Anchor your trading plan at these points and avoid unnecessary moves.

**Step 2: Only Participate in Pullbacks or Rebounds**
Don't jump at the moment of breakout; wait for the market to come back and retest that level. Once confirmed as valid, then follow up.

**Step 3: Use the pattern itself for stop-loss and take-profit**
Set risk and reward boundaries based on the high and low points of the structure.

The benefit of this approach is—when you're making profits, you know why; when you're losing, you accept it calmly. Every trade is justified and well-founded.

For friends aiming for consistent and stable positioning, this logic can serve as a reference.

Well said, but execution is too difficult... I always hold on to that first breakout moment, but end up getting cut so badly.

That's right, chasing the first breakout is really an art of losing money. I've seen too many people get cut like this.

Well said, chasing the first breakthrough really is like making money. I've done it before too, and it was a bloody lesson.

Honestly, what I fear the most is the moment when the first breakthrough is achieved and then it gets crushed back down.
