Rangetrading

KRAFT 1D RANGE TRADESRanges, Triangles, Ascending Triangle, and Descending Triangles are repeatable trading chart patterns. Ranges & Triangles are consolidation chart patterns that can breakout either direction. Ascending and descending chart patterns will have a directional bias depending on the previous incoming trend. 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 average volume for a full position size. b - If 75% of average volume then ½ position size. 2 - Enter two trades. 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 - 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.

Gold: Long at Range BottomThe gold price was seen support at the range bottom and a rebound has caused the price to break above a falling trendline. And in that process, the market has also completed 2 waves of retracement from range high to the range low. However, the market is still mixed due to the FOMC meeting minutes tonight but holding a long position at range bottom could still prove rewarding and trading risk is lower as well. If the FOMC is dovish and the gold jumps, it would be recommended to take the partial profit when it reaches the range high or even if it breaks new high. The gold price could potentially pull back just before the market closes to avoid paying too much for a 3-days swap. However, if the price falls and breaks below the range bottom due to a hawkish FOMC, simply wait for a retracement to sell again and the breakout level.

ETHUSD - Range trading, the next re-accumulation in progress! Hello traders, investors and community, there is an amazing example for pattern recognition forming with ETHUSD, i want explain to you. Looking on the daily chart we can see that ETHUSD formed several re-accumulation periods in the past before breaking out of the range. This process brought the price of ETHUSD from 160 USD to 340, almost a doubling in price. There is still room to go for ETHUSD, i detected that we are in a new re-accumulation right now. You can see it in my chart, highly possible there will be a break-out in this range again. There is a correlation between the declining volume before each of the break-outs, volume declines before the break-out happens. This happens because volatility and interest gets lower in each re-accumulation while price is moving sideways. You can see it marked in my chart. Short-term: A bounce from the 340 to 370 USD range is expected while stochastic RSI is forming an bullish divergence (over-sold) Middle-term: After the bounce to the 370 USD range there will be a pull-back in the 340 USD range just like seen in the re-accumulations before, giving traders the opportunity to open LONGS in this level. After this pull-back happened there has to keeped an eye on the possible break-out coming after the re-accumulation finished, this will be the perect spot to open new LONGS because the market confirmed the pattern as seen before. Long-term: There is still way to go for ETHUSD as the cryptocurrency market is in an steady up-trend, i do not think this will quit so soon. To earn in this market is not so difficult as some people propagade it is BUT it must be made SMART! On the other hand this must not 100 % play out, there is also an other option for the market... to reverse in this level, i will do another analysis on this second scenario, which for my turn isnt the more likely one. So why do i call this re-accumulation?! There are several factors which point out that these ranges are re-accumulation periods, please leave a comment if you want a detailed analysis on this. This pattern can be traded in several ways, short-term traders can make use of the range we are trading in taking care of the possible top coming in the re-accumulation period, the aggressive approach would be to open a LONG position here before the break-out happened, the conservative approach is to wait until the break-out happens and open a LONG position. Be aware, there is always an fake-out in these ranges seen before. Thank you everybody for watching, love you all! Its ok to give me an like or follow, supporting my future analysis friends. Have a nice day!

EURUSD |SQUEEZE| Simple Technical AnalysisEU has been in downtrend for the past 12 months and has created a falling wedge on the weekly indicating that bulls are getting stronger. Bulls have found some support at 1.1110 which was last tested in May 2017. staying on the weekly there is a 60 pip demand zone between 1.1110-1.1170 which we have dipped into 4 times since April 22nd, each time bull have defended the area forming pin bar rejection candles. For the bearish trend to continue we need a significant break of this area bringing the next weekly support into play (150 pips away) and then the next (300 points away). On the daily we have triple bottom indicating that the downtrend is decelerating or may be over but technically this market is still bearish, so I suspect there is another leg down to the 1.1110 area and possibly a new low. I will only be considering longs once we get a significant break and close above 1.1220. On the 4hr we have a head and shoulders (cleaner on the 1hr) which drove prices from the demand zone straight into resistance of 1.1180 which is also our 61.8 fib level giving us a high probably short setup with the trend. This market may initially break to the downside enticing breakout traders to enter short then reverse to the upside so trade with caution and be ready for all eventualities.

USING MATH TRICKS ON YOUR CHARTS You can't count cards in casinos, but you can count bars in price action. No matter what pattern you trade, I would bet that if it falls out of of the pattern in less than 5 bars, it's not going to happen, so don't waste your time. Come back to it later. But, if it holds the pattern for 10 bars, it's probably going to continue in the pattern for 20 to 30 more bars. This little trick enables you to estimate how much time to expect your trading pattern to continue which is very useful when you're deciding whether or not you want to take the trade. For example, if you're looking for a range pattern to trade on a short-time frame chart, look for one that has been working the range for 10 bars and you can expect at least 10 to 20 more bars of similar price action. The MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) is another math-hound I love on my charts. It looks at historical prices and gives you a picture of current momentum and direction. MACD crunches numbers on 4 different levels, and that might be hard to do in your head. But, have a look when the MACD line crosses zero, changing from positive to negative polarity, and you'll know the math is telling you something new is happening in the market right now. How does it take historical price numbers and tell us what's happening now or even be predictive of what's going to happen next? Mathematically, of course, it can compare what was happening awhile ago with what the price numbers are doing now, and detect change in the algorithmic patterns. When "change" is viewed as momentum starting to build, that math makes you smarter with your trade entries and exits.

TRADING RANGING MARKETS WITH KELTNER BANDSTrading Ranging Markets with Keltner Channel It is said that the number one account killer in the market is a ranging market. Consolidations are very difficult to trade. However, you can take advantage of the difference in the way Keltner channel system can be used in combination with other technical indicators. The price won’t really touch the bands when it bounces between the upper and lower envelopes. When we’re in a ranging market, you’ll often see that the price will fail to touch the bands. The majority of the time the price will hug the middle band. This anomaly in price behavior requires us to use a secondary technical indicator to find profitable trades. Since the Forex market spends most of its time in consolidation, around 70% of the time, it’s mandatory to have a range trading strategy to survive in this market. For range trading we like to use Keltner Channel bands in combination with a 2-period RSI indicator. We tweaked the RSI settings so we can better identify tops and bottoms within a trading range. Note #3: For this Keltner trading strategy we use the 90-10 levels of overbought and oversold readings. Here are some rules that can guide you to make the best trading decisions: Keltner envelopes need to turn flat, to signal a consolidation. Price needs to break below the middle band. A buy order is triggered once the 2-period RSI goes below 10 indicating oversold conditions. The protective stop loss can be hidden on the other side of the Keltner band. For the long side take profit when the RSI reaches the 90 level.
