How To Have An Edge Over The Markets 📚

Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders. This is Richard, also known as theSignalyst.

Today I want to share a basic trading plan that you can follow to quantify your trading edge.


📌Step 1:

First, start from the higher timeframes like Daily/Weekly to identify the current long-term trend. is it bullish, bearish or stuck inside a range?

If the price is sitting in the middle of nowhere, then it is a NO trade zone as price has 50% change to go either up or down. Thus no edge!

📚Wait for the price to approach the lower bound or upper bound. Then proceed to Step 2

📌Step 2:

No matter how strong a horizontal / non-horizontal support or resistance is, it can still be broken. Thus don't buy/sell blindly as price approaches a support/resistance.

Instead, zoom in to lower timeframes like H1 and M30 to look for setups.

🏹A basic approach would be to wait for a swing low to be broken downward around a resistance as a signal that the bears are taking over.

In parallel, wait for a swing high to be broken upward around a support for the bulls to take over.

This would be the confirmation to enter the trade.

Of course, your second edge would be through risk management by targeting at least double than your indented risk.

But that's a topic for another post 😉

Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management.

Hope you find the content of this post useful 🙏
