What to look for before a potential breakout?

What are some fav and proven things that you guys look for before potential breakout? Im specifically asking this for intraday trading.
 
My bad..., I overlooked

Rejection..., FBO..., rejection..., pressure..., retest

What I posted are behavior(s) associated with B/Os

Get a chart.., spend time studying it.., and look for these - matters not the TF (Time Sample) you use



I could post thousands.., upon thousands of examples - where the B/O worked..., and where it failed

But until you can identify.., then exploit..., these - me posting charts is useless - for you

================================

Post up some charts and we can discuss if you like

Get in before it breaks out and sell on the breakout

What a load of crap

===================

Price making a move (trending to most)

It PB into a range..., then BO to continue the move

And you suggests he exits on the BO - missing this move (thrust)


You also suggest he enter in an area that..., in many circumstances..., should be classified as a range trade


Outstanding!!!!!

============================

Fact is - there is not one fit all answer

Recent / current environment needs to be taken into account..., and even then - it evolves

=====================

OP is learning - he can do without the BS

I think he meant sell after the breakout meaning a "on the breakout" occurrence, like a traditional support/resistance breakout.
 
If your watching something trending strongly towards a potential breakout area, it will nearly always test the area with a failed breakout, so get in as its trending towards the level and get out on the break

this is what ive been doing. Ive been mainly watching for a consolidation toward sideways and if i start to see a slow gradual move upward i then start to look for signs that it will breakout.
