Short on support breakout or under resistance?

Wich one do you prefer and why?

first touch/break, wait for PA confirmation, wait for retest ...

really basic questions, i know it

all, and its all depend on chart with unspokeable story

I prefer short when support becomes resistance, i always wait for confirmation and candle close.

That's my preference too. As mentioned, it does depend on price action and the chart though.

Looking at overall long term trend, I've found success catching shorter time frame pullbacks to resistance.
However, I end up being wrong more often than those who wait for confirmation. For this reason, I strive to keep losses small 2 to 3x smaller than winning trades.

On an overall average, you will win more often fading resistance or trading the reversal than trying to trade the breakout- long at resistance. However, each method is definitely profitable, and having a high win rate is not everything. You must discover the edge and where it lies IE in the SL size, BE, order sizing etc etc

Although Late but i will add my Inputs.
(i) I highlight my SR levels on H4. When Daily candle Breaking any level and daily closing accordingly. Then i will set a pending order on the broken level waiting for the retest. Like if an H4 support was broken by daily and closing below it. Then for the for the next day, I booked a pending Sell Order. Setting my SL above last Swing High And TP on Last swing Low according to the left of Chart. If last consolidation before breaking the level (suppose support) was above that support level and after breaking the support the level, the consolidation start happening below the broken support. Then i became sure that the broken support will be retested by just a quick spike and then the price will start moving bearish again. This is a more confidence building situation for me. The lowest DD, The earliest entry and a very clear target point.

I always measure the strength of a level in accordance with consolidation(How much) happened in near past(Left of chart) on a price level. If i am getting a signal signal where i see that in near past, there was bigger bullish consolidation between my entry point and Target point then i either avoid the trade or just put my TP above that consolidation level. I use consolidation as area of hidden sellers and hidden buyers.
