Last week, you learned how to play breakouts like a fiddle. Here’s the key: all you need to do is learn how to handle yourself in the standard stages of stock movement, and you’ll have 85% of the market covered. But 85% is not 100%. No two breakouts are the same, and you can’t always count on them to make you money. So, how can you learn how to avoid the ones that fail? Sami Abusaad’s latest lesson tells you exactly how to steer clear of breakout failures. Most failed breakouts happen in exactly the same way: the stock puts in a wide range bar followed by one or more inside narrow range bars. The stock then breaks under the low of the inside bar and begins to break down… This is what Sami calls BO-NFT: breakout with no follow through. It’s how almost all breakouts fail. It’s also how most trends end. And it’s a concept you need to understand ASAP.

Your P&L isn’t only determined by your entry and exit.How you manage the trade along the way matters a lot.So let me give you a look at how I use a Tier System to trader around names, using Uber (UBER) as an example.UBER was on my radar last week, and I grabbed some shares on Thursday morning around $44, as I shared on the Redler All-Access private Twitter feed:UBER had a solid green day, closing at $45.30.Then, I was looking to add a second Tier to add on a move through the $45.50-$45.75 area:Uber kept pushing higher on Friday hitting a high of $47.08 and closing at $46.38.And as you can see on the right of the chart, UBER opened up today, and I sold most of my position over $47. It goes to show — if you’re not ready to commit to a position, think about starting small and waiting for a breakout. That way, you can at least get confirmation that a trade is in motion. Now, I’m watching for an opportunity to add back to my UBER position. Positions Disclosure: As of 7/1/2019 at 11:20 a.m. ET, Scott J. Redler was long TWTR, DIS, UBER, NFLX, SYMC calls, TWTR calls, AMZN calls; is short JPM

Bitcoin just went climactic. You probably know that by now. But what’s coming next? Sami answers: It was almost a blow-off top, as denoted by a wide range bar and huge volume. See why Sami got short around $13,200, and how he ended up covering too soon. Bitcoin is proving to act very different from a stock. It was ‘supposed’ to relax. But it just didn’t. Watch the video and see what it means for Bitcoin short-term and long-term — because these two pictures are VERY different.

The QQQ was setting up long into the G20 meeting. Typically, the market has news like the G20 priced in, but to the contrary, the market was up over the weekend. Now see the level QQQ needs to take out to extend the move. The market looks good, but it’s not perfect. Instead, it’s a bit sloppy. The weekly remains bullish, but Sami doesn’t like everything he sees on the daily chart. It’s also important note what’s happening with IWM. It was the first major index ETF to top out in September. SPY and QQQ did not top until October. Sami sees a key pivot in IWM that could ignore a big ugly mess. So the bias is bullish, but you do need to keep your eyes on Sami’s levels. He also identifies his top swing trade plays for the week, including AAPS, CASY, COLD, ACRS, KIRK, and more!
