Channel BreakdownA channel breakdown occurs when a stock was trading in a tight channel, then starts trading at a price lower than the bottom of the channel. Trade-Ideas continuously scans for consolidations patterns to define channels, then reports alerts when the price breaks down from the channel. We offer different types of channel breakdown alerts depending on the type of confirmation that the user requests.
