Lower Probability Trades

Ok, someone please elaborate on the details as to why these scenarios may produce less than favorable results




Breakout is against the direction of the previous days close

Trading a breakout against the current trend

Breakout withing area of many other S/R levels (this one seems obvious)

I'm a little confused there. In fact, i'm somewhat confused w/ your entire post. Care to clarify ?
 
well what im trying to do is define lower from high probability trades so that i can manage my position size better.

breakout against current trend meaning, the trend of the day is up but theres a break of consolidation to the downside... would this be a lower probability break as where i should decrease my entry size?

how do i really go about figuring out the probability of any given scenario (be it low or high)

Easy. Back test and forward test.
