Rangetrading

LITE CRUDE OIL FUTURES 1DRanges are repeatable trading chart patterns. Ranges are consolidation chart patterns that can breakout either direction. Each chart pattern will have defining trendlines of the support/resistance levels creating the pattern. What ever time frame you are trading this chart pattern, wait for a candle close outside of the trendline in the direction of the breakout candle. (Our time frame preference is the Daily chart). Add volume indicator - Volume is the amount of $ that went into a particular candle or in Forex the # of trades that took place. Add ATR indicator - Volatility is the amount of price movement that occurred. Use the ATR to measure the price movement. When you see descending Volume bars and descending ATR line (which indicates volatility) this shows a dis-interest in traders to invest in this pair creating consolidation which creates the chart pattern. Trade Management after there is a breakout candle close. 1 - Position size (compare volume bar to volume ma line). a - Breakout candle must be 100% of volume average for a full position size. b - If 75% of volume average then ½ position size. (To find 75% of Volume look at the charts volume settings – divide smaller # into larger # = 75%+) If not 75% then stand aside from the trade. 2 – If candle breaks out of a trendline, 15m before the close of the day prepare your buy/sell order. Enter two trades. 1st trade will have a SL & TP. It will close automatically when the 1st TP is hit. 2nd trade only has a SL and will be allowed to run. When 1st TP is hit move the SL to breakeven. Look at ATR and prepare SL at 1.5 of ATR. Prepare 1st trade TP at 1 of ATR. 3 - SL for both trades will be 1.5 x ATR. 4 - 1st trade TP will be 1 x ATR. 5 - No TP on 2nd trade – letting profit run and adjusting SL to follow price. 6 - When 1st TP hit – move 2nd trade SL to breakeven. 7 - Adjust the 2nd trade SL to follow price. *8 – After Breakout candle – if price closes back into chart pattern close trade don't wait for SL to be hit. *9 - When breakout candle is more than 1 ATR from breakout candle open. a - Enter 1st trade at candle close with ½ position size. b - Enter 2nd trade with a pending limit order that is 1 ATR of breakout candle open. c – Price should pullback to that pending limit order for 2nd trade. d – If Price returns back into chart pattern close trade before SL is hit.

GBPUSD | PERSPECTIVE FOR THE NEW WEEKWith over 250pips in our direction since my last publication on this pair (see link below for reference purposes); Price experienced a Correction phase to climb back to our previous Key level @ $1.3000. Since the termination of the Impulse leg that began this month, the price has been moving sideways between $1.27000 and $1.30000. The optimism on Brexit coupled with pessimism on fiscal talks appears to be the major factor that will move/drive the GBP/USD in the following week(s). Volatility is looming on this one! Tendency: Downtrend ( Bearish ) Structure: Breakdown | Channel | Supply & Demand Observation: i. Price has been on a downward spiral since the beginning of the month (October 2020) to find a Flat channel between $1.27000 and $1.30000. ii. Price is currently at an area that has a memory of Selling action as it hovers around the Supply zone. iii. My bias is looking forward to a Breakdown of this Channel in the future but before then I shall target the Demand zone for the first phase of profits. iv. However, a significant Breakout of $1.30500 shall render this setup invalid for the meantime. Trading plan: SELL confirmation with a minimum potential profit of 220 pips.

Bond Pong. Like Beer Pong With Less BloatingMost retail futures traders hang out in the stock indices, metals, or energy primarily. This makes sense as those markets move on a daily basis. But tonight, we'd like to make a case for looking at interest rates products, specifically the 30Y bond. As volatility picks up, the bonds haven't really kept pace and instead have stayed within defined ranges, making for a good case for some back-and-forth action. For the past several weeks, a well defined channel in the 30Y Bond (ZBZ2020) has formed with a one point range between 176 and 177. We're buyers at the bottom of the channel at 176 and sellers and the top at 177. It's a game of pong. What's constructive about this chart is that we have bumpers on either side of the channel in the form of a bid zone at 175 and an offer zone at 178. So we can scalp the channel and then look to add on a break or stop and wait for the level. Our current position (CurPos) is flat as price is in the middle of the channel. We'll update this idea on our next entry. Note: the ZN chart (10Y Note) looks similar and is 1/2 the size roughly on a per-tick-basis.

GBPJPY ShortGBPJPY S Trade Ideas ALOHA Traders! The market is showing some nice setups to end the month of SEP brining in some nice momentum going into OCT and beyond. Here is one of my ideas of what I’m thinking price can do. 1. GBPJPY S (2 live positions) D - Broken down out of rising wedge for a reversal. Potential to reach bottom of range around 124 level. 4HR - Currently in trade but looking for a nice rejection from the 4hr 50 ema and if it is broken to the upside with strong momentum then I will consider closing down the trade. But other than that, this is a longer-term hold. Current position is BE across 2 positions. 1 HR - 50 ema has broken to the upside but still holding anchor on 4hr. 15Min - looking at the bigger picture not zoomed into the 15min on this one. Will manage SL according to 50 EMA across bigger time frames. As always, price can absolutely do some crazy, whip shaw shenanigans and nothing is ever a guarantee in the market until it actually happens. SL set at 142/340 pips - very big pip spread. Target: bottom of daily structure. The bottom (or start of) the previous ascending wedge pattern/rising wedge.

Litecoin ranges for easy scalpsDrop a like if this helps you out, its free! :) Range trading is one of my favourite trading strategies at the moment. It is highly profitable, highly rewarding and a good way to learn the markets. As you can see when a crypto enters a range like this one there are multiple opportunities to short the top and long the bottom of the range (yellow lines) for some very profitable scalps. And once the range breaks long/short the break of the range for some easy gains. If you want to be more aggressive you can play between the smaller ranges I marked off on the chart. If you have any questions on how to create setups for these ranges feel free to dm me or comment below. Happy trading!
