Trading Price 4: When/Where to Buy/Cover Flashcards
Price Patterns for when to Buy/Cover
- Drop Base Rally (DBR) 2. Rally Base Rally (RBR) 3. Prior Supply Becomes Demand
Drop Base Rally (UPTREND)
Creates the DEMAND ZONE to BUY (UPTREND)
Drop Base Rally (UPTREND) DROP
DROP - want drop to be significant because you will get more profit potential on the upside. - it depends on the location of the trend - if in the early part of impulse move, won’t need a big drop - because if in early impulse, will get much bigger move on the way up (incorporate multiple timeframe analysis)
Drop Base Rally BASE
- could be 1 to several candles - fewer candles are better - if LOWER on the IMPULSE, won’t matter much because of higher probability to profit. Take trade - If HIGHER on the IMPULSE, then will want to see less candles at the base to take a trade, but shouldn’t take trade high on impulse
Drop Base Rally RALLY
- want strong rally. FORCE: want 2 or 3 candles the Rally candles closing AT or NEAR HIGH. (upper 80% of range of candle stick) don’t want a lot of wicks showing - want to see strong rally - expanded range candles, with strong buying power.
How to find DBR Demand Zone
- ID current price 2. Look DOWN and LEFT for the ORIGIN of a STRONG MOVE UP with a BASE and DROP before it. 3. Draw the lines to get a zone.
How to draw lines for DBR
Line Placement 1. Proximal Line - The high of BODY of the BASE (ignore wicks) 2. Distal Line: The exact LOW of the BASE (include wicks) 3. Stop Loss: Just a little below Distal Line
DBR Why are GREEN candles are strong?
- shows that buyers are aggressive - people want to get into trade. - shows that people who were shorting are getting out of the market, thus buying
Rally Base Rally (RBR) UPTREND
To ID Demand Zone Want to see a strong rally up, pause, and another strong rally up Base can have 1 to few candles. Base floats sideways When LOW on Impulse curve, the 1st Rally does NOT have to be as strong as the 2nd Rally. The 2nd Rally is important one. The BASE does NOT have to be a correction. Can be same color candle. But needs to be a pause in momentum.
