Why Your Breakouts Keep Failing
7 breakout mistakes options traders make, and how to stop falling for fakeouts.
Most traders don’t struggle with breakouts because they can’t draw a level. They struggle because they enter too early, treat a price poke as confirmation, and take breaks with no real participation behind them.
For options traders, it costs even more. A failed breakout means you’re wrong on direction, you’re paying time decay while you wait, and you often bought your premium right when volatility peaked.
