Introduction

Trading becomes much more engaging when you actually understand what you're doing. At first, it
may seem easy and all about making money, but without real knowledge, it quickly turns frustrating.
Many books teach the basics but end up overwhelming readers with too many tools.

Early in my trading journey, I made the same mistake. I tried every indicator, candlestick strategy,
and chart pattern. In the end, I failed to find a simple way to see the market’s true structure.

Whether you are new to trading or struggling to make steady profits, this book will help you
improve. No matter what asset you trade, I encourage you to read the entire book. It will give you a
full understanding of my Three-Day Breakout Strategy.

In this book, you’ll come across terms like:

●​ Three-Day High
●​ Three-Day Low
●​ Three-Day Range
●​ Three-Day 50% Range
●​ Three-Day Breakout
●​ Three-Day Breakout Strategy

I capitalize them to highlight their importance in my method.

This book bases all time references and charts on South African Standard Time (SAST), GMT+2.
Please convert to your local time zone when reviewing examples and trading sessions.

Chapter 1: Why Three Days?

Why base the strategy on three days? Why not four, one, or some other number?

The reason is simple: to see a pattern, you need at least three data points. One or two points won’t
reveal a clear structure. But with three, a shape begins to form. That’s why three is a key number in
trading.

Many traders pay close attention to the last three days of price movement.

A break above the Three-Day High signals a possible uptrend, while a break below the Three-Day
Low suggests a potential downtrend. If the market doesn’t break above or below these levels, it
could be testing support or resistance, reversing direction, or just consolidating.

The following is a simple illustration.

The Three-Day 50% Range is the midpoint between the Three-Day High and Low. When the
market is above this range, buyers are starting to take control. When the price is below the range,
sellers are more likely in control.

I usually calculate the Three-Day 50% Range using Fibonacci retracements. Another method is to
add the Three-Day High and Low, then divide the total by two. The results may vary slightly.
Remember, the Three-Day 50% Range is a zone, not a precise line.

Here’s a straightforward example that illustrates the Three-Day Breakout Strategy. Figure 1.1 shows
the EUR/USD daily chart. We will focus on June 12, 2025.

I looked at the past three trading days, from June 9 to June 11, and marked the Three-Day High and
the Three-Day Low. I also drew the Three-Day 50% Range, the midpoint between the Three-Day
High and the Three-Day Low.

Note: All chart times are based on South African Standard Time (SAST), GMT+2.

A closer look at the 15-minute time frame, as shown in Figure 1.2, gives us a clearer view of the
market structure. EUR/USD traded above the Three-Day 50% Range. Eventually, it broke above
the Three-Day High, confirming a bullish trend.

The Three-Day Breakout Strategy isn’t just a method; it’s your guide to spotting real opportunities in
the market noise.

If you trade currencies, commodities, or crypto, focus on the major trading sessions. The London
session runs from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM GMT. London's session and its overlap with the New York
session are the best times. These are the periods when the market is most active.

If you trade U.S. indices or stocks, focus on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) hours. It opens
at 9:30 AM EST and closes at 4:00 PM EST. Just because the market is open all day doesn’t mean
you should be trading the whole time. Smart traders know how to be selective.

Pay attention to major events; they can move the market fast. Many platforms can keep you updated;
I use Investing.com because it provides fast access to the economic calendar and upcoming reports.
You can filter events and select your region based on the asset you’re trading, as shown in Figure 1.3.

Staying updated on global events is essential. Channels like CNN and Bloomberg can help. Never
trade based on news alone. Understanding market fundamentals is essential. As a trader, you need to
know what’s happening before you take a position.

I avoid trading in a range-bound market; it usually means the market hasn’t picked a direction yet.
Instead, I prefer trading breakouts from the Three-Day High or Low because they often signal that a
trend is beginning.

Next, I’ll show you how to apply the Three-Day Breakout Strategy to:

●​ Currencies
●​ Cryptocurrencies
●​ Commodities
●​ Indices
●​ Stocks

This strategy works on any timeframe: 5, 15, or 30 minutes, or even 1 hour. For most of the entries
in this book, I’ll focus on the 15-minute chart.
