– Where do we find the best 2-step patterns?
o Never happen in the middle of the range
o Sell the highs
o Buy the lows
o Best 2step patterns come at support and/or resistance
o I wait to see the TEST of the highs or the lows, then take the reversal trade.
Not ‘close’ to the highs or lows, but actually TEST that level.
– Benefits of multiple timeframes
o Patterns = more patterns to confirm your trades
o Momentum = use multiple timeframes for momentum to confirm
o Use our AUTO LEVELS indicator to find all the most important levels of support and resistance.

Expect a small ‘bounce’ and therefore we give the trade more room to breathe
