It’s been almost a year since we last discussed the “Long is Wrong” scenario. And throughout this time it continues to be one of my favourite market openings. Essentially a PB or BPB setup, occurring in a particular place on the charts where a WHOLE LOT of traders find themselves on the wrong side of…
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…
Here’s a concept that is simple and repeatable. I shared this post on social media just before the open on Monday: And then this post on Tuesday, after the markets were kind enough to offer us a brilliant example of the concept in action: As I said at the start – it’s simple. And repeatable….
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,…
The first pullback after a change of structure – you all know I absolutely LOVE these trades. Especially when the prior structure was so damn frustrating. Because that can lead to a great move in the new direction. Same concept as always! When we have a strong directional bias, watch for any price action that…
A key feature of the YTC Price Action Trader method is timing trade entries through awareness of the emotion of “other traders”. In particular when you sense heightened levels of frustration, anxiety or even fear. Place yourself in the mindset of someone trapped in a really poor position. Feel the fear. And find opportunity at…
I’m always fascinated by the decision making of “other traders”. In particular those who trade in places where I suspect they’ve possibly got it very wrong. Like here… It’s a simple model for decision making, which I find particularly useful. As you watch price you will sometimes find yourself thinking… “WTF! Really! Who would buy…
A late pre-session breakout of key price levels… you know I love that. But there was one factor which suggested that I should be in no hurry to trade. Step back a little, define a “No Play” zone, and wait. Hindsight will show us it wasn’t necessary this time. But there are places on the…
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,…
