Your Anti-Fakeout Systems / Methods

The most vital and important question when you are trading using trend / support / resistance lines, patterns etc. :
How do you differentiate between breakout and fakeout? Using indicators? Waiting for pullbacks? Or...?

Currently I'm waiting for pullback.
But I'm in my way searching more effective method.

I don't believe in fakeouts in forex, because I think the markets are too big.

Me too, I'm looking for some fine system for filtering fakeouts (I call'em a little bit differently ) and whipsaws.
Currently I'm trading pullbacks but it doesn't look much efficient for me.

Fakeouts happen all the time, they're useful for hunting stops. I find the best way is to wait for the pullback. If it pulls back past the previous S/R then it's usually a fakeout or a reversal, if it falls back to rest on the last S/R then it's usually solid.

If you're concerned you can just wait for the pullback, check it's landing, then put a stop entry a few pips beyond the high/low. You won't get the best price that way, but you'll avoid confusion.

fakeout is not something that should be fear off, no trader win consistently 100%.

Let's say we trade for every trendline broken and so on, for sure, you should do well in your risk reward ratio there, only takes trade that offer you with 1:2 or above risk reward ratio trade. By doing this, even you sufer a few losses by fakeout, but if one does a succesful fakeout, then you're there, money is in your pocket.
