1	# Breakout Trading
2
3	Captures explosive moves when price breaks out of consolidation zones or key support/resistance levels.
4
5	## Identification
6
7	Types: Horizontal (flat S/R, 3+ touches), Pattern (triangle/wedge/flag completion), Trendline (trend change signal).
8
9	### Participation Confirmation
10
11	Measure breakout-bar volume against the same instrument's time-of-day baseline or a predeclared rolling median. Treat relative volume, RSI, and MACD as candidate filters to validate, not confidence grades or independent votes. Require a closed bar beyond the level by a volatility- or tick-normalized buffer; do not use future follow-through to label the original entry.
12
13	## Workflow
14
15	### 1. Identify Consolidation
16
17	```
18	get_candles_around_date(symbol=<symbol>, exchange=<exchange>, interval=<interval>, date=<date>)
19	```
20
21	Look for tight range with 3+ touches on support/resistance.
22
23	### 2. Mark the Level
24
25	```
26	draw_chart_analysis(action="create", drawing={
27	"type": "resistance",
28	"points": [
29	{"time": <first_touch_time>, "price": <level_price>},
30	{"time": <current_time>, "price": <level_price>}
31	],
32	"options": {"text": "Breakout Level (<price>)"}
33	})
34	```
35
36	### 3. Check Volume and Momentum
37
38	```
39	get_indicators(indicator_code="mfi", symbol=<symbol>, exchange=<exchange>, interval=<interval>)
40	get_indicators(indicator_code="rsi", symbol=<symbol>, exchange=<exchange>, interval=<interval>)
41	get_indicators(indicator_code="macd", symbol=<symbol>, exchange=<exchange>, interval=<interval>)
42	```
43
44	Record the close-to-level distance in ATR or ticks, relative volume, spread, and momentum progression. Apply only filter thresholds fixed before the evaluation sample.
45
46	### 4. Entry and Target
47
48	Use the consolidation-height projection as a scenario, not a forecast. Choose and test one entry rule: closed-bar break or first retest within a predeclared bar window. Put invalidation back inside the range plus the tested buffer; size from that distance and modeled slippage.
49
50	### 5. Report to Orchestrator
51
52	Breakout type, volume multiple, entry recommendation, measured move target, stop level, false breakout risk assessment.
53
54	## Evidence and Validation
55
56	- Treat the setup as a testable hypothesis, not a prediction. Define thresholds, entry, invalidation, and exit before evaluating outcomes.
57	- Calibrate on the same instrument, venue, session, and timeframe. Use closed candles and a held-out or walk-forward sample; record every variant tried.
58	- Include spread, fees, slippage, borrow or funding, partial fills, and latency. Reject the setup when net expectancy is not positive or depends on one narrow parameter.
59	- Return observed inputs, missing data, cost assumptions, entry, invalidation, exit, and a valid, watch, or no-trade status.
60	- Research basis: [Opening-range breakout research](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1544612312000438) finds conditional evidence for a specified rule, while the broader [technical-analysis review](https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/Delivery.cfm/SSRN_ID603481_code17745.pdf?abstractid=603481) warns about data snooping and costs.
61
62	## Key Rules
63
64	- Require a closed-bar trigger; a wick alone is not an entry under this rule.
65	- Freeze the participation, buffer, retest-window, and invalidation definitions before testing.
66	- A close back inside the range invalidates the setup only if that exact rule was specified in advance.
67	- Do not move a stop to breakeven merely because volume declines; compare that management rule out of sample.
68	- Report `valid`, `watch`, or `no trade` when the trigger, liquidity, or cost gate is missing.
69
70	## Related Skills

73	- pullback-trading -- time the retest entry after breakout
