How Can I Stop Guessing If a Breakout Is Real or Fake?

”Every breakout looks real until it reverses. How do I know which ones to trade?”

Many breakouts are retail chases without institutional backing. Standard charts show the move, not the intent, so you’re flipping a coin.

”So how do I see if institutions are backing a breakout?”

Use IB/IS detection, live Order Flow, and real-time COT on Vtrender Live Charts. If initiative buying is present, buyers lift offers with size, and COT shifts to buyers, the breakout is real. If those are absent, it’s likely a trap.

”What signals matter most?”

Three checks: (1) IB/IS shows initiative? (2) Order Flow shows aggressive size? (3) COT shifts to buyers? Alignment = trade. No alignment = skip or fade.

”What happens when I start filtering this way?”

You stop being last into fake breakouts. You trade only with conviction and avoid traps. Win rate goes up; losses shrink.

”I was tired of being the last buyer at fake breakouts. Vtrender gave me tools to filter them—and my win rate jumped.” – Shweta Rao, BankNifty trader

The Bottom Line:

Not all breakouts are equal. Trade only those with institutional intent.
