Using Breakouts and Pullbacks as Entry Triggers
Breakouts and pullbacks are two common approaches to trade entries. TradeShields supports both methods with predefined signals.
- Breakouts: Enter trades when price surpasses key levels.
- Options: Previous Day High/Low, Previous Week High/Low, Kumo Breakout.
- Pullbacks: Enter trades after a retracement to trend-defining levels.
- Options: Pullback to 50 EMA, 100 EMA, 200 EMA.
How to configure:
- Choose a breakout or pullback signal from the Entry Settings dropdown.
- Customize parameters (e.g., EMA length or breakout levels) if needed.
Example:
- Use Pullback to 200 EMA for a conservative trend-following strategy.
- Use Break of Previous Day High/Low to capitalize on momentum.
Tips:
- Combine breakouts and pullbacks for a balanced strategy.
- Use stop-loss and take-profit settings to manage risk.
