About This Lesson
Exactly as it sounds, the HOD Break strategy seeks to take advantage of volume-driven price movement into a price range above the intra-day high (the high set since the start of regular trading hours, 9:30 AM ET). The HOD for a stock is a key level closely monitored by many traders. As a result, price action at the HOD is often volatile and can be an area of both rapid continuation or reversal. However, with proper trade execution and risk management, it can yield reliably positive results.
