Chasing a breakout is not a great idea. For every successful breakout, there’s a false breakout. Staying solvent means protecting yourself from false breakouts. The best way to do that is to buy at the breakout point and set a stop-loss to make sure if the price falls much below the breakout point, you get out with no more than a small loss. A good rule of thumb many professional traders use is to only buy within 5% of the breakout point. If the price has risen further than that by the time I’m at my trading screen, then I usually disregard the breakout and wait for the next opportunity. [2019] - Glen Goodman

And never buy an annuity unless you are absolutely sure you know what you are buying. [2013] - Russell Wild
