TL;DR
- • Breakout quality depends on structure, not just price crossing resistance.
- • Volume confirmation and retest behavior are critical filters.
- • Avoid late entries when extension is already excessive.
0) Where to Find This Widget

Button guide: the highlighted circle marks the target widget button.
1) What Problem This Widget Solves
Many breakouts fail quickly. Breakout Radar helps you prioritize setups with stronger continuation characteristics.
2) The Reading Order That Works
- • Confirm breakout context (trend phase)
- • Check volume behavior near breakout point
- • Verify post-breakout hold/retest
3) Practical Playbook: If X, Then Y
- • If breakout + volume expansion occurs, then mark as high-priority candidate.
- • If breakout fails to hold on retest, then downgrade immediately.
- • If extension is already stretched, then wait for pullback entry.
4) Scoring Logic (Quant View)
BreakoutQuality = StructureScore × VolumeScore × HoldScore
5) Common Mistakes
- • Entering on first spike without confirmation
- • Ignoring failed retest
- • Chasing extended candles
