Traders,
Here we have BCHUSD on 1D chart.
When I trade a Bull Flag the biggest difference from a Flat Top Breakout is that the consolidation is occurring BELOW the high. So as a Flat Top Breakout consolidates within a few cents of the highs, a Bull Flag experiences typically 2-3 red candles
I set my stop at the low of the flag which is usually pretty close by. This gives me a good risk reward ratio. If I want to double my position on the high of day break and then sell through that spike I can make a little more money. It’s important to be careful not to buy a double top. If we have a big pullback, then squeeze right back to the highs we’ll sometimes see a double top formation, or a U shape on the chart. In the examples below you will see some perfect bull flags, but you will also see some sloppier bull flags. The most important thing is that we trade bull flags on the best here.
Regards,
Mohsen
