Crypto Academy Season 3: Week 3 || Homework post for Professor @crptokraze ||

Hi everyone and Assalam U Alaikum,

Welcome to my homework post for Respected Professor @cryptokraze that is about a new price action strategy called Break Retest Break (BRB). An outstanding lecture had been delivered on this topic and now I am going to submit my homework post as required by Respected Professor.

Q. 1. What do you understand about the Concept of Break Retest Break Strategy? Give Chart Examples from Crypto Assets.


Break Retest Break strategy is a price action strategy and it works in continue trend. As we all know that in trending market, there are impulsive moves made by the price. Whether it is Uptrend or Downtrend, an impulsive move of price is made in the direction of the trend and then a pullback or correction is made. After correction is completed, again price makes an impulsive move which is followed by a pullback or correction. And in this way, trend continues until the trend is changed.

Downtrend Impulsive move

Uptrend Impulsive move


Support and Resistance levels are also very important and these are considered key elements while analyzing the market. Most of the time, price moves between these levels. Price is supposed to come down after touching Resistance level and to move upwards after touching Support level. But it doesn't happen every time as these levels can be broken in strong trend.


Break Retest Break strategy is mostly based on Support and Resistance levels. When market is in Uptrend and price is making impulsive moves upwards, it will continue to break Resistance levels. Whenever a strong resistance level is broken, the resistance level will turn into support level. There is always a chance of pullback and market is supposed to retest the previous resistance and new support level. When this new support level is tested and the market again resumes the trend, then this new support level is confirmed. The market will then break the previous high of impulsive move and will make another impulsive move. This is all about Break Retest Break (BRB) strategy.

Uptrend BRB


Same is the case when there is Downtrend. Strong Support levels offer some resistance by the traders and market stops at these support levels. In strong downtrend, when a support level is broken and after the completion of impulsive move, pullback or correction starts, it is supposed that market will again retest the new resistance level that was previous support level. If this new resistance level is strong enough to rebound the market downwards, it becomes strong resistance level and another impulsive moves starts downwards which will break previous impulsive move lower low and create another Lower Low. This is how Break Retest Break (BRB) strategy works in Downtrend.

Q. 2. Mark important levels on Crypto Charts to trade BRB strategy. Do it for Both Buy and Sell Scenario.


In this section of homework post, I will mark some levels where BRB strategy can be applied. I will show both Buy and Sell setups with the help of screenshots.

Buy setup.

In the screenshot below, I have mentioned a buy trade setup that can be entered using BRB strategy. Firstly, the price has broken a strong resistance level and it has been mentioned on the chart. Then there is a pullback after the completion of impulsive move. This pullback has tested the old resistance level that is now the support level. On this new support level, there is a price action signal that indicates the resumption of trend and the new impulsive move started from here. It has also passed the previous swing high and went upwards smoothly. When the previous swing high is broken, here the buy setup is generated and I have mentioned the area with a green circle. This is daily timeframe and you can see how much profitable this trade can be. This is the best example of a buy trade.

Buy Setup

Sell setup.

As the market moves both sides, so a trader can take advantage of both side moves. In the Downtrend, there are opportunities where a trader can go short by using BRB strategy. In downtrend, the market price makes impulsive move downwards and then a pullback happens. During this impulsive move, Support level is broken and then it is retested by the market. If it is strong enough, the market will rebound from this level and will resume its downtrend. Thus another impulsive move will start from retest point. I have tried to explain it through screenshot below. Firstly, a support level was broken by an impulsive move and then it is retested. On retest, there we found a price action signal that has indicated that market price is ready to make another impulsive move, so it did. Then the previous swing low is also broken and here is the sell setup which I have mentioned with a red circle in the below picture. This is a sell setup that is found with the help of BRB strategy.

Q. 3. Explain Trade Entry and Exit Criteria for both Buy and Sell Positions on any Crypto Asset using any time frame of your choice.


In this section, we will discuss about trade entry and exit criteria for both Buy and Sell Positions. Firstly we will discuss about trade entry criteria.

Buy Trade Entry Criteria.

Followings are some points that are highly considerable for entering a Buy trade using BRB strategy.

  1. First of all, a resistance level should be broken by an impulsive move to the upwards and there should be a pullback or correction in progress after making a swing high.

  2. This correction is approaching the new support level that was the previous resistance level.

  3. New support level should be retested successfully and the market should resume the uptrend with another impulsive move.

  4. Previous swing high should also be broken by the market price and it should move upwards.

  5. When previous swing high is broken successfully, then buy trade should be entered.

Buy Trade Criteria

Sell Trade Entry Criteria.

Followings are the points that should be considered highly important while taking a sell position using BRB strategy.
  1. There should be an impulsive move downwards and it should break a strong support level which should have been marked on the chart. Then the market should make a swing low.

  2. After the establishment of Swing low, market should make a pullback and it should retest the new Resistance level which was previous Support level.

  3. On the successful retest of the new resistance level, market should rebound and resume the downtrend with another impulsive move.

  4. Then the market should break the previous swing low and continue its move downwards.

  5. Soon after the break of previous swing low, trader should enter the sell trade.

Sell Trade Criteria

Buy Trade Exit Criteria.

I will explain the exit criteria for buy position in this section.
  1. First of all, stoploss should be placed immediately after the trade has been entered because it is a kind of security to save the trader from big loss.

  2. If the market goes opposite to the setup, it means that it was a fake breakout and the trader should exit the market.

  3. Stoploss should be placed just below the old resistance level that has been broken and now it is new support level.

  4. Takeprofit should also be placed according to the trader's strategy. At least it should be 1:1 ratio, it means takeprofit should be equal to stoploss. It can also be 1:2 means double than Stoploss. But as recommended by the Respected Professor, it should be 1:1.

  5. When any of these levels are hit, the trade will automatically be closed.

Buy entry exit criteria

Sell Trade Exit Criteria.

Following points should be considered as exit criteria for a sell position.
  1. Stoploss is very important for every trade and it should be placed immediately after the trade is entered to safeguard the capital of trader.

  2. Stoploss should be placed just above the old support level and new resistance level.

  3. If the market goes against the analysis of the trader and it breaks the old support level and new resistance level, then it should be considered as a fake breakout and trader should exit the market.

  4. Takeprofit should be at least set at the ratio of 1:1. This ratio can be increased upto 1:2 but it is not recommended too early.

  5. When any of these levels of stoploss and takeprofit will be hit by the market, the trade will automatically be closed.

Q. 5. Place 2 demo trades on crypto assets using BRB Strategy. You can use lower timeframe for these demo trades.


In this section, I will place 2 orders on a demo account using BRB strategy. Below is a buy trade setup found on BTCUSD in M15 time frame chart. The price has broken a resistance level and retested it successfully. Then it has broken previous swing high and I have taken this buy entry. I have mentioned the area with green circle where this trade has been taken. I have placed stoploss and takeprofit with the ratio of 1:1 which have been mentioned in the screenshot below.

Conclusion.

Break Retest Break is yet another Price Action strategy and I have learned this strategy from this lecture. Price action has its own importance in trading world and to find out good entries at the right time, it is possible through BRB strategy.

I have found this BRB strategy very interesting one. It is a usual practice that on the retest of broken support or resistance level, if any price action signal is found, traders tend to enter the market immediately. But it is bit different as entry is taken at the break of previous swing high or low.

Thanks for such an informative lecture on this wonderful price action strategy and I will surely apply it on my trading.

Thanks in anticipation.

Regards,
