I was thrilled to receive an email on Tuesday from a trader who has taken this recent YTC concept and achieved a new “first”. His first ever 100 point runner. Actually… it looks like closer to 110 but who’s counting! From the email: Hi Lance I don’t know if you remember me from earlier this…
Take note of the way that price approaches a level of support or resistance. The more that price has to stretch to reach it, the better. This is a time to FOCUS. Because if this move is unable to attract sufficient selling to continue lower, it can potentially set up a very nice YTC PAT…
Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best. And this one is REALLY simple. For years I’ve stated that my default option with half-day holiday sessions is to stand aside. Let them go. Volume is low and opportunity is most often limited. On those rare occasions when I do trade them, when there might be some…
There are some levels that are clearly defined. A single price, highly visible to all market participants. The prior day’s high and low are obvious examples of this type of S/R. And then… there are others that are not so easy to define. Primarily because there are multiple levels of interest, all forming one larger…
Take note of the way that price approaches an S/R level. The more that price has to stretch to reach it, the better. This is a time to FOCUS. Because if this move stalls, unable to attract sufficient buying to continue higher, it can potentially set up a very nice TST/BOF trade for reversion to…
This is without doubt one of the best ways I like to see price set up for TST/BOF reversal trades from an S/R level. We discussed this briefly in a related article – https://yourtradingcoach.com/trading-process-and-strategy/higher-quality-breakout-failure-trades/ But let’s look at an example from this week’s trading. We’ll start with a higher timeframe chart to give some context,…
Let’s do a quick followup to the recent article on Layered Levels of Support or Resistance. Because there was an email response that I think is worth sharing. – – – Email: Lance, you’re a legend. Your timing is perfect. I’ve been trying to trade off major daily levels (prior days highs and lows, overnight…
I love layered levels of support and resistance (multiple levels within close proximity). A primary reason is that they simplify our trade plan. There is no doubt about the direction that we’re looking for trade opportunity. Like last Monday… Keep an eye out for layered levels of support or resistance as you establish your S/R…
Last week we discussed one of my current favourite plays for the first 30-60 minutes of the session – targeting the overnight high (ONH) or overnight low (ONL). You can review last week's discussion here. Just a few hours after sending out that email the market opened again. And the same concept played out…
I've become rather fond of targeting either the overnight high (ONH) or overnight low (ONL) during early session trading. If you're new to this idea, schedule some time to look back at the last few weeks of charts and take note of how many times they hit. For the ten sessions leading up to…
