It will happen when it will happen, google "false breakouts" and do some reading while you wait for a breakout here.

Correct just the close, not the high or low, wait for a close to confirm the candle

And that is when people lose money, they feel that they have to have a trade on. Not having a trade on is trading because you preserve your capital. I don't use the word "trade" I solely use "setup"

Yup, no need in my book to enter a trade, a setup did not materialise. Stay out have some coffee, unless you are a scalper. In my trading I never look for trades, I look for setups. I scalped yesterday because I was so bored waiting for a breakout ...

Yes a reversal/continuation is not confirmed unless a candle closes above or below. This is true for any candle pattern, never judge the pattern without the candle being closed. I will use different TF's to confirm breakout depending on the momentum. ...

I don't mind explaining my thinking at all, especially as it is consolidating and there are no setups. I put a lot of importance in areas of consolidation/continuation as a breakout can be very profitable. It may be a bit boring for some of the ...

In principal yes you are correct, I use a close of the M15 above/below S/R as my confirmation together with TL's and MA's. If it does reverse my first target would be 1.5201

It is called a bearish breakaway, however it did not quite complete. And we have the start of a continuation pattern, plus the 25ma is pushing her over and it is keeping below the TL, all reasons for me to suspect a continuation, once 5126 goes it ...

Nice bearish formation forming on the M15, let's see if it completes with this candle's close.

In my humble opinion 5126 needs to break for a continuation, 5160 needs to go for an intermediate reversal.

3rd rejection of 5160, Closed my long scalp. standing by, M15 is now looking like a continuation.

Same here, I trade the charts. I do keep a long term account where I hold my trades for a lot longer based on tech+fundamentals, intra day I trade tech.
