Short on Breakout Close Short

Gold/U.S. DollarFXCM

Description

On "Long on Breakout," I was looking to go long on a breakout close, which failed to happen thus no trade opportunity. Price action was rejected twice on the descending trend line.

A shorting opportunity is probable, and the same close on breakout condition remains. Downside targets are in blue.

This is the perfect reason why a close confirmation is needed and why trades are not entered on "breaks."

As always, non-biased. Will short or long when opportunities present themselves.

Your idea is great. Whaiting for confirm.
CommoditiesTrader
Thank you. I believe the longer it trades near the triangle apex, the larger the confirmed breakout.

I try to be non-directional biased, so I'll patiently await confirmation in either direction!
