Dear Trader,

Many professional traders know that if you know how to trade breakouts correctly, it's the one skill that can potentially make the single biggest impact on your trading success. The good news is, that's what I've specialized in since the 90's... and now is a great time to learn how to trade the strongest breakout patterns for yourself. With markets testing and taking out new highs, it's a good time to discover updated strategies for day and swing trading stock, emini, ETF and forex breakout patterns.

Breakout entries are simply the best-odds trades you can make...and I'm the trading industry's "go to guy" who can show you how it REALLY works, explained step by step with advanced tactics for both new and experienced active traders. 

You may want to get in on a strong play, but be worried about "buying the top" and then having your trade instantly go against you. Ouch! Been there, done that. But what's even worse, is sitting on the sidelines while your favorite stock/etf/emini or fx pair takes off without you. It's maddening.

What happens is, you get into doing the math in your head, regretfully running the numbers on what you missed out on. Coulda, woulda, shoulda, how much profit potential did you miss by not taking the trade — when it was right in front of your very eyes?! Or, taking stops on false breakouts that don't work out. Bah.

We've all been there... the question is what can you start doing about it — today?

   

For example, I've been telling traders for the last two weeks about the then-upcoming breakout in XOM (Exxon) once it breaks over 80. I made an actual winning real trade (see the chart, with my broker screencap proof below) February 1st in my interactivebrokers trading account, buying 81.80 and selling 83.72 for a quick near 2-point win on this breakout day trade. And this was a great swing trading call, too.

My question to you is, how much money could you potentially make in your trading account, if you could only know, like I knew, when to buy new breakouts (and when to sell them, before they go back down?)....:

  
 
 Ready To Learn How a REAL Trader Nails Day and Swing Trading Breakouts Like This For Yourself?
I've made thousands of trades over the years, and I've personally traded and tested the heck out of the
specific breakout entry and exit patterns that work best for me — and now I'm ready to hand them all
to you to learn from for yourself on a silver platter.... Sounds pretty interesting, right?  
 
How Much Better Could Your Potential Trading Success Be, If You Only Knew How to Spot Very Specific Breakout Patterns for your day & swing trades in stocks, ETFs, eminis and forex pairs? Thanks to "Breakout Mastery", you're about to discover how it all works for yourself:
   


Register now		   How to rapidly "drill down" to see which breakouts are most likely to work out best and continue going in your favor... the ability to day and swing trade breakouts can be thrilling, and potentially very lucrative if you trade breakouts correctly.

You may have seen my popular momentum breakout articles Active Trader and Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities magazines over the years since I first started publishing them back in 2003, now you'll see all-new updated tactics using real market examples you can learn from instantly... at your fingertips.
     
         Advanced sequential breakout tactics: how to know which chart patterns to add to, for swing and day trades, and which to avoid. This is where it starts getting really interesting...and where professional traders focus their energy on.

Seeing simple breakouts using cups, engulfing patterns, ascending triangles and other basic chart patterns is easy enough. To leverage your trade though, you need to know exactly how much further up you need to add to a winning position, using new chart patterns for 2011's markets... you'll see how these work in this new trading event.
     
  How to avoid false breakouts that frustrate you and go back down after you enter.   Spotting simplistic breakout patterns is easy... on the surface. But the problem is that they often go back down and seem to "run out of gas" shortly after you get in, costing you expensive, and maddening stop-outs. Right?

You'll discover exactly how to filter for avoiding false breakouts. You've likely read my ".35 point rule" in the recent "Momentum Trading" Active Trader magazine article I published in August 2010. And that's a great trading strategy. Now see how it, plus many additional newly-designed tactics work for trading stocks, ETFs, eminis and forex updated for today's markets. You definitely need to attend.
     
  How to quickly transform your Entry and Exit tactics to focus on the strongest potential breakout patterns you can start trading immediately!   My training has taught thousands of traders worldwide how to transform their trading skills to become more professional, more cautious, and more focused... now it's your turn.

Breakout Mastery will show you the transformational "before-after" trading changes you need to make in your trading skills, explained so you can use it — fast.

Whether you're a stock, emini or forex day or swing trader, these breakout trading setups and the step-by-step process you'll be taught, for rapidly trading breakouts to make a trading decision are all vitally important for you to learn.
     
  Exiting trades before your winning breakout turns into a breakeven or stop-loss trade. I used to trade "loose", meaning I'd follow the age-old stupid trading advice of "let your winners run". While that can be true if you have a picture-perfect chart that keeps trending up, the REAL trading world is full of choppy pullback charts that take back profits as fast as they gave them to you... and that's treacherous.

If you've ever wondered how to EXIT and scale back out of your trades to protect open profits, I'll show you exactly how to trail your stops to keep your gains (I prefer using manual over automated trailing stops, I'll tell you why in the webinar), plus what to use to get out of trades. This is "must-have" trading informational tips from a genuine working trader.
     
  Live Q&A with Ken Calhoun live online!  Got questions?  Have a chart you'd like me to take a look at?  We'll look at live charts as a team, and you're welcome to get answers to your trading questions FAST, from an actual trader.   It's a "must attend" event, if you're an active stock, forex, e-mini or options trader.

FAQ: What's unique about this system compared to your other ones?
The main difference between the Breakout Mastery system and my other systems is the focus specifically on breakout trading, to help traders develop the skill to identify specific breakout entry and exit trading skills. It also has a "breakout immersion" approach in which we cover in depth strategies focused on step by step breakout trading skills each month, so that you learn how to trade breakouts in a focused online learning environment. It also covers examples of stocks, ETFs, e-minis (ES) and forex, to provide breakout trading tactics for a variety of trading instruments, and for both day trading and swing trading.

FAQ: What kind of trader support do you offer? We answer your questions during the members-only live webinars held regularly — so you can ask about a specific indicator or chart (or trading technique) and get LIVE realtime answers. I can't answer individual questions via email, due to time constraints, so please do not send email questions about trading, because with thousands of traders I simply do not have time to answer individual trading questions via emails. You're certainly welcome to ask questions (and ask me to pull up charts to go over together) during the webinars, held monthly; I often stay around for at least a half hour or longer answering trading questions, which is the best time to ask, since I can pull up the chart you have questions about and explain things visually, which is much better than text in an email. I look forward to seeing you in the webinars.
 
Who Is This Well-Respected Trader (& Expo Speaker), Anyways?

Ken Calhoun is President of Daytrading University.com, TradeMastery.com and StockTradingSuccess.com (with Steve Nison). Having provided online training to active traders from over 32 countries since 1999, he is an internationally published trader who's earned industry awards and critical acclaim from traders around the world for his professional trading systems.

Featured in leading trade publications and events including Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities magazine, Active Trader Magazine, Moneyshow's Traders Expos, theStreet.com, and CBS Marketwatch.com, Ken has been a popular figure in the active trading scene for over a decade, and has co-produced two bestselling stock trading DVD systems with Steve Nison.
 

Although He's a UCLA Grad and Former Corporate Quality Engineer, Discovering How To Trade Still Took Him YEARS to "Get It Right"...And Now He Trades Every Single Week
Like Clockwork — He'll Show YOU How To Trade, Step by Step...


Ken will tell you he made every mistake in the book (and then some) on the path to learning how to trade correctly. Now he's able to make thoughtful trade entries, thanks to meticulous testing and experimenting to find out what works best, updated for each week's markets. As a former corporate quality engineer and statistician, dozens of Fortune 500 companies (including Ford, McDonnell Douglas, Sheraton, Chevron and Rockwell International) relied on him to help them improve operations and "the numbers" as a quality management team facilitator... he took this experience to help him learn how to trade, and he's thrilled with what he's learned.

Ken reveals new trading tips in this new webinar for active traders, so you can learn everything he's tested out with hundreds of actual trades he's done.

As an internationally published business management consultant, Ken previously trained over 31,000 people in over 147 companies worldwide. He took his profits from his successful consulting career and discovered the world of active stock trading, where he's been working to help other traders use precision, advanced trading strategies in their trades. You can see examples of a few his actual recent trades at his popular www.TradingTalk.com forum.


Ken's Daytrading University site has been trusted by over 8,100 traders worldwide to learn how to swing and day trade stocks, and is considered a premiere resource for active traders. He has interviewed Brian Tracy, Toni Turner, Dr. Van K. Tharp, Larry Levin, Steve Nison, Kathy Lien, Boris Schlossberg, Dr. Doug Hirschhorn and others and is a popular, sought-after seminar speaker and industry figure with credibility.

Unlike the majority of trading industry vendors (most of who can't prove they even actually trade), Ken is a genuine trader and has helped thousands of traders since 1999, when he first founded the Daytrading University.



Sidebar: I Recently Returned From One Of My Popular Speaking Gigs at the
Fabulous Las Vegas Traders' Expo Nov 2010 (it was great!):

We had a terrific time in Las Vegas at the international Moneyshow.com Traders' Expo 2010... they did a super job of organizing another winning event, with a huge turnout.  I feel privileged to have been invited as a speaker at these traders' expos since 2001 when my colleague Tim Bourquin started them up (they're a great way to learn from many different traders; I personally liked Toni Turner's presentation on using volume best - she was outstanding). 

Here's a couple of photos from the November 2010 event (me outside the ballroom at left, and some of the traders cheering at the end of my presentation, at right):






The reason I mention this, is for you to see that I do have long-term credibility and trust from the
trading community and industry, for which I'm deeply grateful.  Thanks to all who've worked with me.


Traders, I look forward to sharing new updated tactics for helping you learn new trading strategies in this new webinar series. Go ahead and be sure to register your spot right now.

I like short term MACD, RSI, moving avgs, and Directional index as my indicators. I can't watch Tues night - hope it's recorded. Thanks." - Richard E.

"I like that you'll show how to spot the end of a trend to profit before a pull-back" - Lynn P.
Reply from Ken: Thanks, Lynn — good point. That skill is absolutely essential to master (you can pull up the XOM full-day chart from the trade above to see, it started to drop shortly after I sold it). Whether a trader is day or swing trading, the art of tightening in a trailing stop (or hard stop) ever-closer to the current trading range to lock in a profit is a critical skill to master; I'll teach exactly how it works in Breakout Mastery.

Reply from Ken: Hi Randy, absolutely right. That's what really bothers me a lot about the entire trading vendor industry, is 90%+ of the people out there are just selling made-up bs trading courses and in my opinion have no business teaching traders. Make sure whomever you buy trader training from can validate that they're an actual trader with real brokerage screencaps of actual trades they've done.

February 5, 2011 10:31PM

       

" Do you consider the Nasdaq TRIN or the NYSE TRIN a more reliable indicator for breakouts, as they are often diverged." - Terry L.
Reply from Ken: Good question, Terry... lately they've been divergent a lot (eg nas trin at .68 while nyse trin at 1.1 type of situation); so I trade lighter size on those sessions. Quick tip: I like to focus on the stronger of the markets to trade within based on which trin is stronger at the time, so 4-letter NASDAQ stocks long if say nas trin is < .7, and if the nyse trin was at 1.1, then I wouldn't trade NYSE listed stocks, and focus instead on the NASDAQ stocks only for entries in that session.
 
Reply from Ken: Hi Adrian, I start to scale out of trades the closer a breakout has run to the edge of it's ATR/average trading range on the session, for swings. For intraday, 50-80 cents is great on stocks < $50/share, not so much if you're trading AAPL/AMZN/BIDU/NFLX, for those I like to go for 1.2-1.8 pts or so. Trading tip: look in the prior day's session to see how far the single longest breakout run moved, before a pullback, and use a bit less than that as your exit target for current-market day trades. Same is true for minis and fx as well, that's one of the new strategies we'll be covering in Breakout Mastery.

Reply from Ken: Hi Owe - right... you'll be learning what I call "chart countermeasures", which is an all new tactic I'll be revealing in Breakout Mastery, to help avoid false breakouts, yet carefully test out trading entries for those unique charts that do show the right patterns, at exactly the right times.

"My problem is that I have the ability to pick the wrong direction of a breakout with a great deal of accuracy.  I lose far too many times.  I can't wait for the webinar!!" - Bob G.
Reply from Ken: Yes, Jerome... depending on the specific pattern, for equities especially I'll do a lot of late-day swing entries into the closing half-hour. For other instruments like forex, tying your entries to the three market opens seems to work better. For minis, I like to trade those just in first hour, unless there's a monster rally/selloff market, which is rare (less than 2-3 out of 50 sessions). For bread and butter daily and weekly swing and daytrading, I like to focus most energy on the opening hour for intraday trades. For swing trading, I've also got some brand-new patterns you'll want to see, coming in the webinar.

"I'm excited to learn about how to determine a real breakout from a fakeout." - Bud D.
 
Reply from Ken: Hi Candace, specific breakout point values (or pips for forex, or ticks for eminis) depend on several factors, there's never an absolute range, since it also is absolutely critical to tie your specific entry triggers to market internals (premarket futures values, sector percentages for intraday, and/or sector chart relative strength, for swings). Plus micro cup-breakouts and candle patterns, too.

That's one reason automated software doesn't work by itself in isolation, because it's a multi-variable decision that takes several factors into account (like the day's VIX/TRIN for example) , to avoid false breakouts. I'll keep it simple and we'll pull up charts together in the webinar, remember to ask me about any specific one and we'll take a look together... thanks!

" I like the idea of learning to identify real breakouts from a real trader.

February 5, 2011 11:07AM

       

"Breakouts can be clearer than reversals--which I currently use." - Gary
Reply from Ken: Right, Pedro. With so much money on the line, everyone's trying to out-trade each other, and the mm/specialist/dark pools/HFT algos/other games going on need to be protected against with better entries. Being able to recognize both swing and intraday breakout continuation patterns successfully is what separates professionals from everyone else.

I'll be sharing a lot of "sharp-angle" professional tactics in the Breakout Mastery webinar, to help traders spot false breakouts to avoid, as well as the strong ones to get in on. See you there - thanks.

Reply from Ken: Hi Scott, good point. I used to always half-expect trades to instantly reverse and/or go into sideways consolidations after entering (being a skeptic as I am).... until I discovered new signals that I use to nab entries like that XOM trade on the open. And the "mechanics" of how to set the entries is what's most important to know during breakouts, the details of how to do that, specifically, is what I'll be teaching in Breakout Mastery. Thanks... see you in the webinar.

Reply from Ken: Hi Lillian, that's true... but for many trades the institutional traders are also looking to sell resistance/buy support on purpose, to "shake out" retail traders, causing false breakouts and stops... One of the advanced strategies you'll be learning about is sequential breakout trading, as well as using "percentage of average ranges" to leverage additional add-on trades (and "false breakout avoidance tactics") to help potentially make more successful entries and exits. Thanks for the comment.

"I'm interested in learning any new techniques that help in identifying real breakouts from false ones." - Shaun T.
Reply from Ken: Hi Ye — you bring up a great point, which is that exiting a trade once a breakout puts a trade in your favor is absolutely essential to trading success. For example you could pull up that XOM chart (the entire chart, for that day) and you'll see that shortly after I sold the breakout, it pulled back significantly. Knowing when to sell into a breakout, to take profit, is a critical skill — in Breakout Mastery you'll see some of my best strategies for managing exits, "selling into breakouts" explained. The flip side of that is entering correctly and avoiding false breakouts, so you're not buying just as experienced traders are leaving; I'll show how that works in Breakout Mastery as well. Thanks.

"I know breakouts can be very profitable; my problem, I only see them after most of the run is complete." - Steve P.
Reply from Ken: Right, David — many traders are posting about that as being the #1 breakout traders' challenge, is figuring out which ones will be most likely to run (like my XOM trade example) cleanly without a lot of chop and pullbacks after you get in, or even worse, getting into a false breakout that quickly goes back down after the entry. I've got a lot of precision setups that should help filter those out (including some all-new ones) I'll be showing everyone how to use in the webinar... thanks.

February 3, 2011 4:12PM

       

"This would be awesome. Big money is made if you catch these.  Can't wait." - Patrick O.
Reply from Ken: Hi Helene, thank you for the kind words; glad to hear they're helpful. The main thing is to keep at it, testing out different approaches til you find a set of reliable trading setups that work most of the time, and start from there, making those your core (for example I like "out" 2-day high/low days as the starting "permission to trade", and premarket SPY outside of prior day's ranges)... when it comes to breakout patterns, there's some nuances and new ones to learn, so I'll share those in the Breakout Mastery webinar. Best wishes for continued success.

"I want to take part of mass hysteria (price jumping higher and higher or falling lower and lower) and come out profitable!" - Jaime S.
Reply from Ken: Hey Jaime, good to hear from you again. You bring up an interesting point, eg the mass hysteria, or "panic buying" that's detectable when institutions start getting into a position (as well as short squeezes) makes for some of the very best breakout patterns... I'll cover tips on how to detect (and potentially capitalize on it) in the Breakout Mastery webinar.
 

February 3, 2011 6:45AM

       

"I tend to avoid initial breakout trades because of the high percentage that turn out to be false breakouts.  The percentage that pullback to the breakout line (and subsequently bounce) is also high, so I'm more apt to wait for that bounce to enter the trade (and with a much smaller stop than with the initial breakout).  

There's also a problem of the target price?  So anything you can offer to improve the odds of success on breakouts would be appreciated." - Jerry M.

"Your skills are amazing. I look forward to your precise technical approaches." - Barry S.
Reply from Ken: Hi Perry, thanks. And right re advanced breakouts... til now I've just covered basic breakout strategies, since they're the core of how I trade... in Breakout Mastery I also cover advanced breakout patterns. Ones that are easy to spot, and are great for "how to trade if you missed the first big breakout, and still want to get in the position?", plus patterns for sequential and other advanced continuation breakout strategies. See you in the webinar.

February 2, 2011 1:02PM

       

"Breakouts are for big profits. I'm interested to see how you select the stocks for the potential breakout and your entry point." - Pauli H.
Reply from Ken: Right, Pauli... when looking at which stock (or fx pair, or etf or emini) chart to trade on breakouts, getting the specific entry point is often the difference between a win and a stop. In Breakout Mastery I'll be covering new "double-confirmation" triggers for entries, in addition to a new 1-2-3 Step Trade Entry process I've designed, which helps keep things simple. See you in the webinar.

"I am convinced that learning the skill of 'breakout mastery' is most important to give me confidence in taking a breakout trades - the money will follow once the skill is learned." - George L.
Reply from Ken: Thanks, Greg - right re XOM, I'd alerted traders to that (and traded it myself on the breakout), in the previous webinars... good to see you remembered it. More to come. One of the keys to success in this is being really selective; the XOM stood out as the best of the oil-sector stocks so I took the trade. More to come in this upcoming webinar — see you there.

"Breakouts are the key to fast bucks, thats why I wanna learn how to recognise them before they happen" - Rio
Reply from Ken: Hi John... will do. I realize sometimes I move a bit fast with advanced tactics, so for this one I'll be making it focused on the easiest-to-learn breakouts that you can add to your trading, explained as straightforward as possible. And I agree about examples, that XOM chart is an example, traders will be learning all-new updated and simple-to-see breakouts in the webinar.

The trick is avoiding the false breakouts that initially looked good, but then turn against you — you'll see how to tell the difference in the webinar (thought there's always still some stops, our goal is to keep them as small and infrequent as possible). Thanks for posting your comment, I appreciate it.
