This video on TAS Boxes Breakout Trading shows you how to enter or exit trades using the breakout method. We use the High/Low value areas because these are the upper/lower levels of S&R. Once the market breaks through, we will look for long/short trades.
Why use TAS Boxes breakout trading method?
When the market pushes through a key level of support and resistance, that level now acts as a new barrier for the market to retrace through. We take advantage of this by using a stop loss outside of the value area making the market have to push through a large area of support and resistance before it goes against our trade.

Why do we use TAS Market Profile levels for support and resistance?
TAS boxes is based off of Market Profile information. Market Profile shows you where there is an accumulation of buyers and sellers at a certain price. TAS Boxes takes this, and gives you three levels, all based off of market profile. We choose to use Market Profile because this is based off of actual trades made. Traders, at market profile shown levels, actually had transactions at these levels, and have accumulated volume at these levels. This is using real market information to show you how traders react to it.
