Acceptance Breakout

The transition from a balanced state to a directional state when one side overwhelms the boundary of a well-defined acceptance range.

Full Explanation
An acceptance breakout is one of the two primary tradeable structures in this framework. The setup requires a well-defined acceptance range — a clear history of absorption at both boundaries. When one side pushes through a boundary with bodies rather than wicks, the breakout is beginning. The breakout candle itself is not the thesis. The thesis is in what follows: a stretch of candles beyond the boundary that show expansion characteristics — low friction, bodies dominating wicks, limited overlap. Until that confirmation exists, the break may be false.
