Breakout Hunter
Donchian + Volume
Strategy Template · Breakout

Breakout Hunter. Enters when price escapes a compressed range.

Trades clean range breaks in either direction, long on upside breakouts, short on breakdowns, confirmed by a surge in volume to ride the expansion that follows. Compression precedes expansion; this template waits for the escape.

Like every Liquid Edge template, Breakout Hunter is verified, backtested, and deployable in one click, on a fully simulated paper balance first, then live on your own exchange whenever the results earn it.

02
Demand volume proof

A genuine break comes with a volume surge, quiet pokes through the level don't count.

03
Ride the expansion

Enter in the direction of the break and let the post-compression move run.
