hi mate. my method is looking for consolidation patterns in trends, waiting for a break out, then getting in on the retrace. i did some spreadbetting a few years ago, only came back recently to try some shorter timeframe trading.
stopped out
price made a new high breaking a diagonal trendline and a resistance line, came back to test the highest support which is where i entered. i put a stop below the second support in case it fell to that instead, which it did, just grazing my stop. price then moved slightly into profit...
