How I confirm a signal and enter a tradeQuick 2:00 clip of, LTF trade signal and entry for potential short-term reversal trade.
This is a more risky version of my trading strategy which doesn't put much emphasis on the HTF trends and structure. Do not take this trade - this is just an example that if signals lined up with HTF and there was confluence, this is how I would trade it.
Happy trading :)
Lowtimeframe
How To Backtest Further In The Past On Low TimeframesQuick video to show this little trick using the Replay mode that allows us to load more historical bars than real time, and thus get a better picture at how a strategy can perform over time.
The Strategy Tester re-calculate the results everytime we load new bars, as the indicator strategy is correctly applied to these new bars.
I got the confirmation from the awesome TradingView Support Team that the extra data that you get this way is real and relevant, and can be used to test your strategies.
That means we are no more limited to 15/30 days backtest data in the 5min timeframe for example.
Rejection or chop, low time BTC highlightsWe broke out of the descending broadening wedge, we confirmed resistance as support twice at B and D of the bullish harmonic pattern.
We did by my count 5 waves up and we are currently in a ABC correction.
Forming a head and shoulders pattern with a measured move below support line at around ~31.5k. That is still a higher low but that would break support.
Fib extension from A to 0 and A to B show 1.618 and 2.618 confluence at that level.
I will remain neutral until ~32.2k gets defended and turns Support.
The daily formed a double bottom with broke out but failed to keep above the neckline at ~35.3k. RSI still range bound so we will still see some chop around this area.
Bullish scenario
A head and shoulders pattern that fails to hit the target is very bullish.
Bearish scenario
A completion of the pattern and break of the support line.
Quick LTF BTC trades Short term trades
If we stay inside the triangle on the 15 minute TF, look to long a breakout with TP at the magenta trend line 11560
TP at the 23.6 fib 11750
TP at the purple trend line 11900
look for lack of volume on the breakout and use stops in case of fakeout
If we drop out of the triangle short
TP 11200
then watch for bounce and retest of 11300
If this happens and volume supports the price
I will be looking to long 11150 - 11250
watch for support on 100MA around 11170
TP where the cyan dashed line crosses fib or trend lines
11420
11480
11560
11750
11900
