Parallel Channel
Education - 1) Trend & ChannelTo become a good trader
- Trend is the first think to know and understand;
o Trend always stronger than channels, ranges so ever,
o Trying to trade against trend is one of biggest mistake to do, which is sometimes experienced traders are doing
o If you wanna understand the trend you should look longer timeframes; in forex you can use weekly or monthly charts to understand it, in cryptocurrencies daily charts are cool enough, as i backtested
o Once you see the way, then you can start to look another indicators, channels, ichi, harmonics, fibs, ew, bb whatever you use
- Channels are second strong think to trade with;
o i just pinned one but as you see in the chart there are lots of them, and also there will be much more if you look at shorter timeframes
o Main think about trade with channels is; channel has to be on the same page with trend
o Second think is you should anticipate it before it occurs
- This is going to be my first educational document that i’m sharing, so feel free to criticize and add useful information with comments to make it better for me and community
My value channel strategy ETF investment strategy.
Long-term (3 yr)
Using my proprietary value channel strategy.
Ideal for use with long-term trending ETF's, Index ETF's work especially well.
It is based on a modified mean reversion strategy.
You can use same principles and strategies as Keltner Channels and B.Bands to get started for testing.
However, I suggest you tweak it to what works best for you and your lifestyle and make it your own and that you can trust.
1. Create trend channel.
2. buy on lows. Keep it simple.
3. Add fixed amount monthly, at low swings.
4. Never trade or invest with more than you can afford to lose.
5. Always use a stop-loss strategy.
6. For educational purposes only.
7. I am actively invested in this ETF.
Yes, it works on stocks as well, they must be trending, see tech stocks for example.
Use the last strong trend to create your baseline for your channel.
And yes you can change and update the channel as required. Monthly or Quarterly as needed. The channel is not fixed, but dynamic.
You can use the pitchfork tool or trend channel tool to draw the channels if you don't like to draw lines.
Example of a Downtrend Parallel Channel on PFFPFF formed a downtrend parallel channel.
A downtrend parallel channel (bearish channel) is a continuation pattern that slopes down and is bound by an upper and lower trend line.
The upper downtrend line it is called main line and marks resistance and the lower downtrend line it is called channel line and marks support.
For a bearish channel, the main line extends down and at least two bounces highs are required to draw it.
To draw a channel line ideally needs two bounces lows, however, some traders draw it using only one bounce low.
In a bearish channel the target is to short when prices reach main line resistance and take profit when prices reach channel line support, then, wait for prices to reach resistance again and repeat.
Parallel Channel and Elliott Wave CountingBase channel.
The base channel contains the origin of wave one, the end of wave two, and the extreme of wave one.
The base channel is most important, because it defines the trend.
Acceleration channel.
The acceleration channel encompasses wave three.
Once prices break through the lower boundary line of the acceleration channel, we have confirmation that wave three is over and that wave four is unfolding.
Deceleration Channel
The deceleration channel contains wave four.
To draw the deceleration channel, simply connect the extremes of wave three and wave (B) with a trend line.
Take a parallel of this line, and place it on the extreme of wave (A).
BTCUSD Correction patternIn this post i wanna share one of my method in analyzing price movement.
sample 1 :
we have symetrical channel up. After channel up resistance broke up, that resistance line will become support in next wave. Price action will try to break it as correction pattern.
sample 2 :
Again, we have same pattern here, symetrical channel resistance broke up with bullish flag pattern.
1. Bullish flag projection at 6798.98, This projection will reach after 1 candle full break up B line as bullish confirmation, If B cannot break, BTCUSD will down for correction back to A.
2. After B break up, we gonna see correction pattern as sample A, resistance line become support
3. If BTCUSD still follow the cyclic, next correction at 5790, 6481 and 7140.
Fibonacci channel swing tradingThanks to Fibonacci we have many tools helping with everyday analysis. Fibonacci channel is one of them. It is a simple tool which can cover whole swing and when used properly can find a lot of possible places for PA to bounce and create small intraday swings. Educate, practice and trade with Fibonacci cause this math algo is everywhere. In single atom, in plants, in our bodies and minds, in piramids, in our solar system and in galaxies. So it is also present in Forex. Even if forex is played mostly by computer algos those algos were writteln by humans so fibonacci is also in that code. Good luck and have a good weekend.
Patterns Identification For Trend Continuation Trade Setups Hi fellows, This is an example for patterns identification in a bearish market many traders struggle to identify patterns in a particular trending market for Trend Continuation Trade Setups. This is a perfect example for Pattern Identification.
1. IMPULSE ( First Entry )
In this chart, We have Bearish IMPULSE from top( that means market is setting up for a bearish trend) If you read that IMPULSE on time you can catch the wave right from the top for higher potential. We call this entry based on Trend Reversal Point. There are lot of names which you can use for that LIKE ( Potential Trend Reversal Point, Supply and Demand Zone, Support and Resistant E.T.C)
2. TREND CONTINUATION PATTERN ( Correction, Consolidation or Accumulation )
In this chart, From Top after the impulse we have a lower degree channel which was giving an indication that price is not going to continue until it finish the TREND CONTINUATION PATTERN FORMATION or Flag.
3. FLAG ( Trend Continuation Pattern ) ( Second Entry )
Once Flag completed, there is an other opportunity for sell which we called Entry based on TREND CONTINUATION PATTERNS. Here you can use Oscillators, Moving averages or any other indicator which can give you an indication that TREND CONTINUATION PATTERN is going to finish or Correction, Consolidation, Accumulation is going to finish for the next impulse or for the next wave.
Once you understand that Pattern is about to end and Next wave is about to start you can sell Before the Breakout or after the Breakout.
We call them:
1. Entry before the breakout:
2. Entry After the breakout:
We prefer to enter in the market before the breakout for better risk reward ratio.
4. Next IMPULSE
Once next wave or impulse appears and price again forms Trend Continuation Patterns you can repeat the same steps which you have done on the flag. But this time you might not see the flag may be you can see the Triangle as you can see in the example. Until price do not forms IMPULSE from the bottom and keep forming the trend continuation pattern you can keep adding more positions with reasonable risk. Please Keep In mind one thing, Once a wave already moved a lot adding more position without understanding the bigger pattern gonna be dangerous so always add more positions with care because buying on top and selling on bottom is dangerous so you need to understand the bigger picture so that you can understand whats going on bigger picture and where the high potential wave is. Always add more positions there where you see that, that particular wave has a huge potential and will not reverse any time soon. For that you have to analyse from bigger time frame to lower time frame so that you can pick that asset or pair where you will see that in longer term that pair will remain in a trending market not in sideways market.
5. Triangle (Trend Continuation Pattern ) ( Third Entry )
Repeat same steps which you have done on the flag
6. Flat channel ( Trend Continuation Pattern ) ( Fourth Entry )
Repeat same steps which you have done on the flag and Triangle
7. Bullish IMPULSE
Once you will see the bullish impulse from the bottom you can read that impulse and momentum on lower time frame. This is time to take the profit off from the market and time to buy for the change in trend.
Always remember. Patterns form with in the patterns so one pattern will show you the continuation and other one will show you the reversal so read them correctly.
In this chart, You can see bearish wave is running with in the higher degree descending channel and that channel is a trend reversal channel and in longer term price will change the direction to the upside and lower degree patterns are forming within that higher degree channel for the previous trend continuation and we were trading in that higher degree pattern so always remember that at some point that higher degree pattern will change the direction of the market.
Channeling Channeling stocks were the first way I learned to make money. Find the channel and buy at the FLOOR support and sell at the CELINING resistance. That would be a $43 to $48 channel and find the profits in there. Always remember to know your EXIT before you enter, your stop and your profit and manage your trades...but this strategy made me money.
HOW TO TRADE WITH CHANNELChannel strategy is a simple and complicate strategy.
A. Using it with Elliot Wave to follow a trend.
Follow the trend by "buy low, selling high".
B. Find a new turnover trend by a channel retest.
C. Find a continue wave by a sideways channel breaking
through.
Risk Management:
A. REWARD/RISH >1.5
B. Risk <2%
C. Move SL to TP1 or TP2 to protect your profit
NZDUSD DESCENDING CHANNEL EXPLAINED!!!!!!MARKET ANALYSIS: The market has broken the huge uptrend channel and now its moving to a sell. Now in the lower time frame we have descending channel formation. We have strong support zone near the market price now. If the support zone is broken we can see a new lower low for a huge shorting opportunity. So lets wait and see what the market does in the coming days. Cheers!
