2 Bar breakout failure in 60 min flow method
How do we tackle 2 bar breakouts and failure?
So far,we have seen a breakout that fails,this implies that a single bar broke out of its pivot highs to new lows and then flopped on itself and broke pivots and triggerred SARs.We also know how to manage WRB Breakouts.How do we manage if we get a Breakout(not WRB) followed by a bullish candle and then a huge fall…………The questions are:At what point do we call the move a failure?Must we wait for pivots to break to reverse?
The below is a chart of ICICI Futs in Jan 2009.

Latest modifications in 60 min flow :
MODIFICATION 4:
SAR levels are raised every time a new pivot high is made….also raised in a vertical move using the 2 bar method….or gaps as per its rules,but whatever the scenario,the focus is to raise the SAR to a point where it reverts and we go the opposite direction.The focus is not on the small pivots within the sideways range,or a wedge/flag,etc.
Therefore,the SAR is raised on new highs,……if that new high is not attained,SAR remains where it was.Note:It does not mean that those pivots within the flag or the wedge or the sideways are not pivots,merely that they are not points that we would raise our SAR to.It also means that when price goes above the previous pivot high of a bull flag,we raise our stops to the lowest point of that flag from the previous SAR(not necessarily waiting for new highs before the flag got started.)
The only time we do not bother about new highs is when we get a visually long sideways range.Here if the range breaks down,we are short.
The above is stated talking of uptrends,vice versa for downtrends.
All the best!
