My favorite setup for part-time trading is the breakout-pullback setup. It is the bread and butter setup for swing traders who can not follow every tick in the market. While it is a simple setup, there are a number of variations of the setup that need to be understood. The variation we are discussing today is what I call the “breakout-remount”.
Three steps are necessary for the breakout-remount:
1. A strong breakout clearing resistance with strong price and volume action.
2. A breakout failure, with price violating the bottom of the breakout bar, former resistance and a moving average (20, 50 or 200 day moving average)
3. A remount of the moving average on strong volume.
This setup often leads to powerful moves as the initial “weak” entrants are shaken out of the trade. In this two-minute video I go over the breakout-remount setup using the recent breakout-remount setup in $NFLX.
Now that you have watched the video, find some “breakout-remount” setups and post them in the comments below, and I will give you my feedback. New readers can review Part 1 of the series, the breakout-pullback setup.

Does NOR fit this description? It had a breakout followed by a pullback.
Here are some:
adsk – has remounted the 20dma and the 50dma is in its sights.
kate – has snapped back from huge failure after earnings; 50dma and 20dma are closeby but not sure if it will fade
dks – failed on day 1 after earnings but remounted on day 2 and has steadily churned up since; maybe too late to enter
zbra – a more gradual decline after brakout and then a steep breakdown but has been edging upward last few sessions
It is a cup & handle setup
Even if NOR remounts, it’s not a breakout setup. There is not a breakout that was violated, just a trading range.
Kind of curious what you do in tc2000 to find these setups.
INO looks like a candidate.
ABB has a gap up 7/22/14. A breakout failure thru both 50 ma and 20 ma and then a remount on the 20 ma but not on the 50ma
I thought the first video was the ONLY swing set up we needed to know. hah. j/k. Thanks for sharing. curious though why this NFLX chart not calling it a cup n handle? Or maybe its both. Anyways, thanks again for sharing, good stuff. Keep em coming. Looking to take your trial soon.
This is part2. may i know where is part1? Thanks
I found it. part1.
