Just buy breakouts, set it and forget it. You can buy TL breaks because you get such a big move - no reason to enter responsively.
When yesterday's high breaks before the open - and you're seeing Europe up, financials leading, tech up... you take it. Major new level has begun.
Then I want to stay with 5 min candles to avoid noise - don't psych myself out and take the profit. I want to systematically raise the stop. Only when the TL breaks is that a clear exit signal.
I did see a short pattern build midday that was good for 50 ticks. Wasn't around in the afternoon but once the TL broke back up -- it was time to get long again for the new high stophunt close.
These days -- which seem to be happening quite frequently, should ideally pay out big. But holding for the move is the hard part.
