Now by how far you move this buy/sell “in” is your choice. There is no exact scientific amount. Bear in mind you are simply trying to enter the market before the masses. So you do not want to get in too early where the stock/future never breaks out beyond the number two point.
On the other hand, you want to get in with plenty to spare before the masses enter on the breakout.Experiment. Remember to keep a tight (no more than 10%) initial stop loss once you have entered your trade.
