If you love fast trades and quick decisions, the 1-minute breakout strategy is one of the simplest and most effective methods you can use — as long as you follow clear rules. Here’s exactly how I use it.
First, I wait for three back-to-back candles in the same direction. This shows short-term strength and builds momentum. After that, I look for the opposite candle, which signals a pause or small pullback. This candle becomes the most important part of the setup.
📌 How the Breakout Works:
Mark the high and low of the opposite candle.
If price breaks above the high, I take a buy.
If price breaks below the low, I take a sell.
No breakout = no trade. Simple.
The power of this strategy is discipline. You’re not predicting; you’re reacting to real momentum. And because it’s a 1-minute chart, you get multiple setups per session — but only trade clean ones.
This strategy works best with strong trends, high volume, and clear levels. Avoid choppy markets where false breakouts are common.
