Identifying the basic BREAK and RE-TEST pattern is one of the many many layers of confluence we can apply over our setups to provide a profitable edge in the market.
Here’s how you can get started with identifying break and re-test patterns:
1. Identify an existing trend, or the start of a trend.
2. Identify either key support/resistance levels (horizontal lines) AND/OR recent swing high/swing low levels.
3. Wait for a break.
4. Wait for a re-test.
