## Summary

This video explains a common trading mistake: chasing breakouts instead of waiting for pullbacks. It emphasizes that after a breakout, the price often retests the broken level, which becomes support, and that entering on the retest offers better risk-reward and a tighter stop loss.

### Key Points

- **Market Structure Basics** [00:02] — Bull market: high highs and high lows. Bear market: lower highs and lower lows. Knowing structure is not enough to make money.
- **Breakout Chasing Mistake** [00:16] — Most traders buy breakouts, thinking they caught the move early, but this is where they get caught because price often rolls back and retests the level.
- **Retest as Entry** [00:29] — After a breakout, the broken resistance becomes support. The retest is the entry point, not the breakout itself.
- **Better Execution** [00:44] — Entering on retest allows buying cheaper, placing a tighter stop below the retested high, improving risk-reward ratio.
- **Confirmation and Conclusion** [00:58] — Entering on retest provides confirmation that the level holds as support, while others get stopped out. Stop chasing breakouts, wait for retests.

### Conclusion

The key takeaway is to trade structure correctly by waiting for retests instead of chasing breakouts, leading to better entries and risk management.

## Transcript

simple, but most people still lose.  Why?  High highs and high lows - this is a bull market.  Lower highs and lower lows.  Bearish is everything.  But knowing the structure does not mean making money. Most people see the structure clearly, but
still merge.  They are chasing a breakout instead of waiting for a pullback.  The price breaks the previous high. Most people think this is a signal to enter. They buy a breakout.  We are sure that we caught the movement early.  But this is where they are caught.
Because after a breakout, it almost always rolls back and retests the level it just broke through.  If this high was resistance, it is now support.  Retest is your entry, not a breakout.  That's why this changes
everything.  When you enter a retest, you buy cheaper than those who were chasing a breakout.  Your stop can be placed slightly below the retested high.  This means a narrower stop.  Tight stop, best RK to reward on the same move.  While everyone
being stopped out, you enter with confirmation that the level is holding as support.  Same structure, same movement, but better execution.  Stop chasing breakouts, start waiting for retests.  This is how to trade
structure correctly.  Watch this again until you understand.  There's also more analysis in the Telegram channel.  Write trading and I will send you a link and a guide.  M.
