Use this for Strategy for Sideways Markets & Trading Ranges
Day Trading Ranges and Sideways Markets
Trading Range = resistance overhead and support below. No defined width of the range, just that we have a level above and a level below.
Sideways Market = a lot of different characteristics
· Double-tops and bottoms
· Flat Trigger Line
· Inconsistent speed at the highs or lows of the range
What are our basic trading rules for trading inside a range: (3 phases of every sideways range)
· Sell the Highs / Sell Resistance
· Avoid the Middle
· Buy the Lows / Buy Support
· Competing against the smartest minds in the world
· Too much liquidity which makes the market very slow and sloppy, and we simply have better options in other markets.
· Trades at $5/tick, which is a less efficient way of earning income.
· Why work for $5/tick when it costs me $5 to enter/exit the market?
Day Trading with Low Volume and No Tape Reading is also very easy with the right strategy.
