Trading Setup Tutorials : "Relative Strength Indicator (RSI) Intraday Trading"

INTRADAY TRADING STRATEGY USING RELATIVE STRENGTH INDICATOR (RSI)

J. Welles Wilder is a giant in the field of technical analysis. In “New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems”, he introduced an array of trading indicators. Now, these indicators are among the most popular. And one of them is the Relative Strength Indicator (RSI).

The default RSI setting of 14 periods works well for swing traders. But many intraday traders find it lacking because it produces infrequent trading signals.

Some traders deal with this problem by lowering their time-frame. Others lower the RSI period setting to get a more sensitive oscillator. However, these solutions produce RSI signals that are more unreliable.

Getting infrequent trades is not always a problem for intraday trading. That is if the few trading setups that show up are high-quality ones.

The idea is to combine the default 14-period RSI with support/resistance zones. Our aim is to find intraday reversal setups with a high reward-to-risk ratio.

Trading Setup Tutorials : "Trend Line Trading"

TRADING STRATEGIES FOR THE TREND LINE TRADERS

Price action traders can’t do without their trend lines. Trend lines are practical tools for tracking and trading trends. It makes sense to form trading strategies with this simple but effective tool.

Many traders who seem to trade with a blank chart have in fact internalized the art of trend line drawing. They are able to visualize the trend lines with actually drawing them.

Trend lines track trends. And when it comes to trading trends, you can go for retracements or reversals. Basically, you can work on the premise that the trend will continue or reverse.

The 4 trading strategies below are classified with this understanding:

• Trend Line Bounce – Aggressive Retracement.
• Minor Trend Line Break – Conservative Retracement.
• Major Trend Line Break – Aggressive Reversal.
• Major Trend Line Break and Retest – Conservative Reversal.

Here are the 4 trading strategies in detail.

Trading Setup Tutorials : "INSIDE DAY NR4 (ID/NR4)"

INSIDE DAY NR4 (ID/NR4) TRADE SETUP

Toby Crabel did some serious work on volatility patterns in price movement. The Inside Day/NR4 (ID/NR4) is one of the patterns he wrote in “Day Trading with Short Term Price Patterns and Opening Range Breakout“.

An inside day is one with a lower high and higher low than the previous bar. NR4 is a bar with the narrowest range among the last 4 bars.

Hence, ID/NR4 is an objective criterion for identifying days of decreased range and volatility.

Once an ID/NR4 is found, we trade the breakout as volatility resumes.

TRADING RULES FOR ID/NR4

RULES FOR LONG

1.    An inside bar with the smallest range among the last 4 bars.

2.   Place buy stop order above the high of the bar.

3.   Wait for break-out to trigger order.

RULES FOR SHORT

1.    An inside bar with the smallest range among the last 4 bars.

2.   Place sell stop order below the low of the bar.

3.   Wait for break-out to trigger order.

Trading Setup Tutorials : "Two-Legged Pullback to Moving Average"

Two-Legged Pullback to Moving Average (M2B, M2S)

Many price action traders claim that two-legged pullbacks are the most reliable trade setups. The variant we are reviewing today is from Al Brooks, who wrote three tomes on price action trading. These three books are not an easy read, but are extremely informative for price action traders.

In his books, he identified a two-legged pullback to the moving average as one of the best trade setups when there is a strong trend.

Before we start, let’s have a basic explanation of counting legs. Any bar that goes higher than the previous bar starts a new leg up. Any bar that goes lower than the previous bar starts a new leg down.

Trading Setup Tutorials : "9/30 TRADING SETUP"

9/30 TRADING SETUP

Trading Setup Tutorials : "Andrew's Pitchfork Trading Strategy"

Andrew’s Pitchfork Trading Strategy

Alan Andrew’s Pitchfork is catchy. It catches your attention with its unusual name and its striking pitchfork appearance. It also catches trends with a channel.

Essentially, Andrew’s Pitchfork is a tool for drawing price channels. While two lines surrounding price are usually enough to draw a channel, the Pitchfork has an extra line. It is the median line or the handle of the Pitchfork.

The median line is central to this trading method. This is why Andrew’s Pitchfork is also known as the Median Line Method.

HOW TO DRAW THE ANDREW’S PITCHFORK

There are three steps to drawing a Pitchfork.

Support & Resistance

Improve Your Trading Strategy With Support And Resistance

What is the best way to improve your trading strategy? Use support and resistance concepts in your trading strategy.

Learn how to use support and resistance levels in your trading strategy to improve your trading results.

WHAT ARE SUPPORT AND RESISTANCE LEVELS?

Before you learn about support and resistance, you must first understand basic demand and supply.

Demand and supply are the underlying forces of price movements. Market turns up when demand overwhelms supply and turns down when supply overcomes demand.

(Technical analysis studies recurring price patterns that result from demand and supply changes. Fundamental analysis drills into the determinants of demand and supply.)

Prices move up when demand is stronger than supply. Buyers are more eager to buy than sellers are willing to sell. So buyers will offer a higher price to entice sellers. Price rises. Prices drop when supply is stronger than demand. Sellers are more eager to sell than buyers are willing to buy. In this case, sellers will lower their asking price until buyers are willing to buy. Prices fall.

At support levels, we expect demand to overwhelm supply. When demand is stronger than supply, price will rise. Or at least, price will stop falling at the support level. At resistance levels, as supply overcomes demand, we expect the price to stop rising and fall.

Take note that support and resistance are not clear-cut price levels. They occur over a range of prices. However, for convenience and clarity, many technical analysts draw lines to mark out support and resistance.

Drawing lines to represent support and resistance is acceptable as long as you understand that the lines actually represent zones where the demand and supply imbalance switches.

Trading Setup Tutorials : "Moving Average Channel Trade Setup"

RULES FOR LONG DAY TRADE

1.  Wait for two consecutive bars to move entirely above the high of the channel.

2.  Buy as price tests the 20 SMA of lows (more aggressive traders can buy on test of 20 SMA of highs).

RULES FOR SHORT DAY TRADE

1.  Wait for two consecutive bars to move entirely below the low of the channel

2.  Short as price tests the 20 SMA of highs (more aggressive traders can sell on test of 20 SMA of lows)

Trading Setup Tutorials : "The Sandwich Trade Setup"

The Sandwich Trade Setup

The sandwich trade is made up of multiple candles and involves an engulfing bar. It forms by the market going up or down sharply and then having multiple small bars follow it. After those small bars a bigger bar engulfs the previous small bars. This essentially forms a sandwich and you will get a better idea of what it looks like.

It can act as a reversal signal or a continuation signal depending on whether the 2nd big bar is bullish or bearish.

What a Sandwich Trade Looks Like

The diagram below shows a bullish sandwich trade, notice how the price drops sharply down then it is followed by a couple small bars. Then an engulfing bar consumes all of the small bars since the sharp price drop. This is a simple example of a sandwich trade.

Trading Setup Tutorials : "Bollinger Squeeze"

BOLLINGER SQUEEZE

Bollinger Squeeze is a trade setup by John Bollinger, using his very own Bollinger Bands.

Bollinger Bands is a channel formed by two vertically displaced moving averages: one displaced upwards by two standard deviations and one displaced downwards by two standard deviations. The typical parameters refer to a simple moving average and standard deviation based on 20 periods.

Bandwidth is the width of the Bollinger Bands. A decreasing Bandwidth shows decreasing volatility and an increasing Bandwidth shows increasing volatility. Bollinger Squeeze setup uses decreasing Bandwidth (the Squeeze) to find periods of low volatility and trades price breakouts from sluggish price action.
