Traders, if this is helpful give a thumbs up and sub for more thanks.
This bull trap and then pullback to stop runs (stop loss hunting) setup have resulted in very good trading opportunities before:
The psychology behind these moves are basically that traders see a breakout and enter trades but then price makes a pullback/retracement to take out stops and then reverse and continue in the original breakout direction.
You can always ask yourself – where are traders in pain? This can help a lot finding good trades.
Instead of buying the breakout (buying high) these stop loss hunting entries will give you a much better entry point.
The risk reward ratio on these trades are very good.
Let me know in the comment section below if you have any questions.
