Sideways trend structure is more common than many new traders imagine. So it’s important to learn how to recognise a sideways market. (For my Sideways Trend Definition, see Page 101 (and Fig 3.44) of Chapter 3 of the YTC Price Action Trader.) And it’s important to find the way that YOU best trade this market….
The following social media Q&A shares an incredibly important realisation by this trader. Perhaps a realisation that will also help you with your journey. And my reply: I’ve focused a LOT on the market open in my articles over the last two years. Not because it’s better. But simply because that’s where my own trading…
Let’s start with the daily chart at the time of market open. Because it shows structure that has me VERY interested in trading to the LONG side. Let’s drop to the 1 minute trading timeframe chart, just three minutes after the open. Happy trading, Lance Beggs
I thought I’d finished the “Long is Wrong” articles for now. But then I received an email from a reader of the YTC Newsletter that I absolutely LOVED. And I thought that maybe “Long is Wrong – 3” would be a good way to share some of that love! If you missed the prior articles,…
Last week’s article led to a great question on twitter. Yeah, fair call. It does look ridiculously early. Here’s the trade we discussed in that article. Here was my reply: Let’s step through the entry and early trade management decisions. The vertical axis is a little compressed on the 1 minute chart so we’ll do…
I love this comment from David on last week’s article – Long is Wrong 2. The key part is highlighted. I’m actually really excited to see someone recognise the importance of watching for failure scenarios. Opportunity exists at the places where large numbers of traders get something wrong. The times and places where obvious expectations…
Last week I shared what is quite possibly my favourite market open play – https://yourtradingcoach.com/trading-process-and-strategy/long-is-wrong/ It can occur as either a PB or BPB setup, providing opportunity as market participants are trapped and stopped out of an early session long. Incredibly simple in concept. But very effective. Please review the prior article if you missed…
If you’re new to my newsletter, you could be forgiven for thinking that all I trade is an NQ opening range drive. I think in recent times we’ve covered that more than any other opening setup. Like here – https://yourtradingcoach.com/trading-process-and-strategy/pre-session-emotion-and-an-opening-drive/ Essentially it’s the first YTC Price Action Trader PB Setup following expansion from the open,…
I love the pre-session action from NQ on Tuesday… Dropping now to the 15 minute chart and viewing the action leading up to Tuesday’s open: I must admit – I do like traps in the market structure. I sent out the following post via social media, prior to the open on Tuesday. Because there was…
If there is one thing I want people to take away from all these years of writing about markets, it’s an acceptance of the fact that you do NOT have to get every trade right. New traders have this incredible need to be right. I know because I was there myself once. And because I…
