Now that all of us are aware how we trade trends it is important to learn when we dont want to trade the Trending methods.
Before I even start, I will equest all the Newbies and Seniors to read the explaination with Open minds, plz. dont read it with a prejudiced mind. It will start making sense to you once you start searching the charts all over. Here we go
Now as you can see on charts, normally when a market is Trending , each of swings will be Higher or lower than previous than previous one depending on the trend.
But after prolonged trending move we may get swings which are almost equal in heights, something like /\/\ or \/\/. As soon as as you see this, you can press the ALERT button.
Now the thing to notice is that all /\/\ or \/\/ are not ranges, we should start drawing the envelope when we have already got 25 or more bars on Daily chart .
Now we draw a boundary joining the he highs and lows of /\/\ like shown in the chart. Now take the height of pattern from highest high to lowest low, suppose it comes out to 400 for Crude, now we have to draw an envelope outside the boundaries by Multipling the height of pattern by 0.25 and adding it both above and below the highs and lows of pattern.
In the above chart this outer envelope is marked by dotted line. So for suppose Crude I will add (400* 0.25) = 100 on both sides of range to get an envelope.
This outer envelope will decide when we start to have trending market again. I will take the trade only once the markets break the outer envelope and close outside it. You may even trade the following Pivot after the break of Range.
Plz. try and assimilate the whole thing, I will come up with more charts
