Suggestions & Checks

1. Trendline Break Confirmation

Did the candle close above the trendline?

Was it a strong body candle or a weak breakout (e.g., wick-heavy)?

Is it above a previous swing high or resistance?



2. Stop-Loss Placement

Under the breakout candle?

Below the trendline?

Below last higher low (safer but wider)?



3. Volume Spike

Did you check if volume increased during the breakout?

Weak volume = fakeout risk.



4. Confluence Factors

Any moving averages aligning?

Fibonacci levels lining up with your targets?

RSI divergence or MACD crossover?



5. Macro Watch

Upcoming US CPI/PPI or NFP?

Fed speakers, interest rate hints?

Geopolitical tensions?




Risk-to-Reward Example

Let’s say stop is at 2980:

TP1 (3040): R:R = ~1.38

TP2 (3115): R:R = ~4.63

TP3 (3163): R:R = ~6.63


Those are very favorable, especially if you scale out at each level.
