| Trader Vic 2B Pattern |
“In an up-trend, if prices penetrate the previous high, but fail to carry through and immediately drop below the previous high, the trend is apt to reverse.” – Trader Vic
4 Simple steps to Trade the “Trader Vic 2B Pattern”:
Step 1: Find the Pattern
The key to finding the 2B Pattern is to find a new higher-high or lower-low on your chart, followed by a second attempt that does make new higher-highs or lower-lows but it quickly FAILS and goes back in the opposite direction.
Step 2: Find the Entry Trigger
The entry is triggered LONG when the price moves above the highs of the failed breakout candle that tried to make a new lower-low.
Entry is triggered SHORT when the price moves below the lows of the failed breakout candle that tried to make a new higher-high.
Step 3: Place your stop-loss
We always use a protective stop-loss, which is placed below the lows for a LONG, or about the highs for a SHORT.
Step 4: Place your Profit-target(s)
We use profit-targets to lock in profit on each trade, and we use swing-highs for a LONG, and swing-lows for a short. Find the next major swing-highs (long) or swing-lows (short) and use those as your profit-targets.
