False breakout: train in the lab

A false breakout is price spiking beyond a zone then returning, leaving stops and egos behind. Not a conspiracy theory: auction and liquidity.

In the lab, pick the false-breakout scenario. Watch the spike, exhaustion candle and return. Ask: would I have FOMO-entered? Where would the stop be?

In the journal, tag FOMO or “valid-setup” honestly. The goal is not to win the past — it is to train waiting for acceptance and risk.
