I feel I have a very good strategy it's a breakout oriented strategy. The problem is in avoiding trend reversals.

Hindsight Justin is the only way.

Support/resistance, Supply/demand, pivot points etc may help but won't avoid them
Luck is where preparation meets opportunity.......

ok i see the problem, you have t stop trying to get 100% of the move, figure out where you can set a good t/p where you get between 60% to 80% of the trend this way your out before the reversal

You can use a stop trailing strategy for managing your trade based on trend HH and HL or LL and LH.

There is no easy way to that. You do not know in advance if this trend is about to reverse or not.
