In Forex trading, there are various forex trading strategies.

I would like to show you a forex breakout strategy as shown in the chart above.

It is simple yet highly powerful.

In the chart above, we see a series of bearish bars (red bars) -> marked by the yellow arrow pointing down at the top of the picture.

This series of price action bearish bars represent the selling momentum in the market. And the selling is gaining momentum with the increasing number of bearish bars.

Therefore, we will be watching the chart for a chance to trade it down, considering that the trend MAY have change from an uptrend to a downtrend.

Soon after, it formed a big long price action bearish outside bar as marked by the yellow circle.

(This confirms the downtrend as it has broken the previous lows of the previous uptrend)

With the big long price action bearish outside bar, and the previous series of bearish bars.

- It confirms the selling momentum in the market is very strong.

Immediately after the bearish outside bar, it forms 2 smaller inside bars after which.

What i see here is a setup for a forex breakout strategy trade.

- Since the selling momentum is so strong, and with a price action bearish outside bar. We can place a pending sell order below the bar.

Therefore, i will place a pending sell order as marked by the yellow dotted line.

And my stop loss is above the previous bars opening and closing. (marked by the orange line SL)

Our First take profit target will be the previous low (marked by the orange line TP1)

And our final take profit target will be at the next low (marked by the orange line TP2), which also coincides with our 150 ema.
