Whenever a stock trails back to the resistance after a breakout and bounces off treating it as a support towards the target then it is known as retest. retest might not happen all the time but when it does moves are strong. A full thread on retest is pinned on my feed.
2) Volumes
A spike in volumes on a Breakout in your direction of trade is considered one of the best things for your trade. But if volumes are below average volumes, then you need to be careful as very few Breakout trades succeed with volumes lower than average volumes
3) Look for Support and Resistance levels
There is a very high probability that stock might reverse from a support or a resistance level. So before entering in a trade look if there is no major support or resistance in the midway. If using strategy avoid stocks on these levels.
4) Ema crossover
Although Exponential moving average is a lagging indicator but if we use price action with it, they can be the best combos for entries. you can use 50 and 200 EMA's for detecting a strong trend.
5) Strong Candle
Breakout candle should be strong and with a small wick. If Breakout candle gives breakout but traces back forming a big wick, then that is a big red flag for your trade. Look at below examples for strong and weak candle.

When a stock gives a breakout but fails to go in the direction and complete its target then it is called as failed breakout or a fakeout. In this type of situation stock either consolidates or goes in the opposite direction. Refer to the images for better understanding.

#retest
whenever a stock trails back to the resistance after a breakout and bounces off from support and starts moving towards the target that time it is called as a retest entry. This is one of the best approaches for breakouts.
1) #Adani total gas limited (#ATGL)
- Consolidating in tight range
- 4.8% approx from ATH and might give a BO soon
- Dried volumes
- In uptrend hence higher chances of BO
- Near 21 EMA
2) #adanitransmission
- Gave a BO from triangle pattern
- Dried volumes
- Low volume on BO hence caution
- If volumes increase on next candle then only enter
