How can you better time an intraday entry?

6 Aug 2026 · Edited from Martin’s stream; not a verbatim quotation.

Be decisive and press the button when you see the breakout. If the breakout occurs on a five-minute candle, don't wait fifteen or twenty seconds afterward; by then the stock may already have moved higher. You also need to decide whether you will enter before the breakout actually happens. For example, after the close of the red five-minute candle, I decided that I'd enter the breakout on the next candle if it occurred. Making that decision in advance lowers your reaction time and helps you avoid entering late.
