Decoded from: My 2025 Forex Breakout Strategy With 75%+ Winrate! by Tradesharpe — watch the original

Strategy overview

A breakout strategy trades the moment price leaves a defined range, treating that exit as evidence that one side has taken control. What makes the forex version its own problem is that the currency market never opens: it runs continuously from Sunday evening to Friday close, with London and New York overlapping rather than starting from a single bell. There is no opening auction to anchor a range to, so every forex breakout system has to *choose* its boundary — a session block, the previous day's extremes, an Asian-range box, a consolidation drawn by eye — and that choice, not the break itself, is what separates one forex breakout method from another.

This entry decodes Tradesharpe's video "My 2025 Forex Breakout Strategy With 75%+ Winrate!", and two things about that title are worth reading carefully. The first is the year stamp: "My 2025" frames this as a personal system in its current revision rather than a named, canonical technique, which means it is a snapshot of one trader's evolving preferences — pairs, sessions, filters — as of a particular year. The second is the headline number. A win rate quoted in a video title is the channel's claim, not a measured result, and even taken at face value a win rate on its own is not a description of a strategy: it says nothing about reward-to-risk, average loss size, how many pairs were traded, or over what sample. High hit rates and small targets tend to travel together, which is exactly the detail a percentage in a thumbnail leaves out.

No structured rule set has been extracted for this entry, so this page stands on the concept and the source rather than a decoded specification. If you work through the video yourself, the questions worth answering are the ones the title does not touch: what actually defines the range, which pairs and sessions it is meant for, how a false break is filtered, and where the stop and target sit relative to the range width — because in forex those answers are the strategy.

Frequently asked questions

What is a forex breakout strategy?

It is a method that defines a price range and enters when price breaks beyond it. Unlike stock-market breakouts, forex trades nearly around the clock with no single opening bell, so the range has to be defined by choice — a session window, the prior day's high and low, or a visible consolidation — rather than by a fixed market open.

Does this strategy really have a 75%+ win rate?

That figure comes from the video's own title and is presented here as the creator's claim, not as a verified or independently measured result. A win rate also does not describe performance by itself: without reward-to-risk, average loss size, the pairs traded and the sample period, a hit-rate percentage cannot tell you whether a method was profitable.

Why is breakout trading different in forex than in stocks or futures?

Forex runs continuously through the week, so there is no opening auction and no overnight gap of the same kind to anchor a range to. Volatility instead clusters around session opens and overlaps — most notably London and the London–New York overlap — which is why forex breakout methods usually build their range around a chosen session block rather than the first minutes of a trading day.

How should I evaluate a breakout strategy taken from a YouTube video?

Pin down the unstated parts before anything else: what defines the range, which instruments and sessions it applies to, how false breaks are handled, and how stops and targets are sized against range width. Then backtest it on historical data yourself rather than relying on a headline number. Strategy Decoder catalogs strategies like this one from video sources so the concept and its origin are easy to trace.
