TradingAlpha Squeeze breakout with momentum
Identify squeeze compression and a breakout in HTF/LTF. Wait for the appropriate completed breakout reading, then check RSI or Thrust for momentum in the same direction. Inspect nearby support/resistance before evaluating the trade.
In the Screener, begin with the breakout condition and add only the confirmation you intend to use. If nothing matches, do not keep adding unrelated conditions.
Reversal with price confirmation
Locate a turquoise or yellow R. Mark the signal candle's high or low, then inspect the next two completed candles for the required close beyond that level. Review the broader trend and any confirming momentum.
Squeeze fakeout
Watch for a reversal against an earlier squeeze breakout. Apply the reversal confirmation rule to the opposing signal. This is a sequence of events, not simply two colored shapes somewhere on the chart.
Keep an honest record
Record the instrument, timeframe, signal candle, confirmation method, and invalidation point. A historical example illustrates a pattern; it does not establish the probability or return of your next trade.
The original guide contains additional combinations involving momentum bars, 8/9 exhaustion, volume, and chart patterns. Treat them as research ideas rather than adding every condition to a single scan. Use your journal to make comparisons consistent.
