ORB NR4 CANDLESTICK PRICE ACTION STRATEGYORB - Opening Range Breakout This strategy works on all markets - time frame is Day & 1H Step #1: Wait until you can spot a bar that has its daily range smaller than the previous three days The first rule requires you to have the patience until the Nr4 pattern develops on the YOUR chart. When we have a daily trading range that is narrowed than the previous trading ranges it means that the price is contracting. Based on our backtesting results we have found out that there is a high probability of a trend move after you spot this type of contraction. This is kind of a general rule because the markets do move from periods of contractions to periods of expansion. This is the reason why this short-term price pattern is so powerful. Step #2: Mark the High and the Low of the 4th day and switch to the 1 hour time frame Our trade is taken the next day after the Nr4 pattern showed up. In order to have a clear view of the short-term price action we need to switch our focus to the 1 hour time frame. Before you switch the time frames make sure you mark on your chart the high and the low of the 4th day. The short-term pattern Nr4 satisfies all the requirements for a valid setup, which mean that we can move forward and describe how to buy or sell. Step #3: How to buy or sell: Buy/sell only if the breakout of the Nr4 high/low happens during the first 5 trading hours. We use the Opening Range Breakout technique to time the market and have an effective trade entry. The ORB is even more profitable if it occurs after inside days that have a smaller trading range than the previous 3 days. Here is another strategy called simple yet profitable strategy. Our trade may not have an inside day, but nevertheless we want to buy/sell only after we break above/below the Nr4 day high/low. Also, we want to make sure the breakout happens during the first five trading hours of the next day. Trades based on the ORB – Nr4 pattern will show you a profit instantly. Now, if the trade is not showing you a profit right away then your trade becomes more vulnerable. As a general rule, if after the first trading hour your trade is not in the green, you can safely close the trade at the market. Of course, you can only do that if your stop loss hasn’t been triggered in the meantime. Now, let’s outline where to place our protective stop loss. Step #4: Place your protective Stop Loss above/below the Nr4 day high/low You can hide your protective stop loss above/below the Nr4 day high/low. Alternatively, you can also place your stop loss below the current day high/low as this will give you a better risk to reward ratio. The ORB - Nr4 pattern tends to precede strong trend day activity, so your stop loss should be rarely hit. Both of these patterns can be traded individually, but when combined they tend to produce even more powerful trades. Step #5: Take profit at the close of the first 1-hour bearish candle Our take profit strategy is fairly easy and it’s slightly modified from the original strategy highlighted in the “Day Trading with Short Term Price Patterns and Opening Range Breakout” book written by Toby Crabel. Even though the ORB pattern tends to lead to trend trading days we’re more conservative and want to quickly take profits. So as soon as the first bullish/bearish candle shows up we close the trade and enjoy our daytrade profits. Alternatively, you can keep the trade open until the end of the day if you want to extrapolate more profits from the market.

ETHUSD 1H RSI 80-20 TRADING STRATEGYStep One: Find the currency pair that is showing a high the last 50 candlesticks. (OR low depending on the trade) The 80-20 Trading strategy can be used for any period or any market. This is because there are reversals of trends in every period. This can be a swing trade, day trade, or a scalping trade. As long as it follows the rules, it is a valid trade. We also have training for building a foundation before a forex strategy matters. In this step, we only need to ensure it is the low or the high of the last 50 candles. Step Two Using the RSI Trading Indicator: RSI Settings - Period 8 - Levels 80/20 When we find 50 candle low, it needs to be coupled with RSI reading 20 or lower. (If it’s high it needs to be combined with the RSI reading 80 or higher.) Once we see that we had a low, the last 50 candles, and the RSI is BELOW 20, we can move to the next step. Remember that this strategy is a reversal strategy. It is going to break the current trend and move the other direction. Step Three: Wait for a second price (low candle) to close after the first one that we already identified. The second price low must be below the first low. Although the RSI Trading indicator must provide a higher signal than the first. Remember that divergence can be seen by comparing price action and the movement of an indicator. If the price is making higher highs, the oscillator should also be making higher highs. If the price is making lower lows, the oscillator should also be making lower lows. If they are not, that means price and the oscillator are diverging from each other. Which is why it’s called “divergence.” Just because you see a divergence, doesn’t mean you should automatically jump in with a position. We have rules in place that will capitalize on this divergence so that we can make a significant profit. Keep in mind, that this step may take time to develop. It is very important to wait for this second low because it gets you in a better trade making position. Price goes down/RSI goes up. That is the Divergence. Remember that our example is a current downtrend looking to break to the upside. If this was a 50 candle high, we would be looking at the exact opposite of this step. Step Four: How to Enter the Trade with the RSI Trading Strategy. The way you enter a trade is very simple. You wait for the price to head in the direction of the trade and wait for a candle to close above the first candle that you identified that was previously 50 candle low. Step five: Once you make your entry, place a stop loss. To place your stop, bump back 1 to 3 time periods and find a reasonable, logical level to put your stop. You are looking for prior resistance, support. Step 6: I recommend you follow at least a 1 to 3 profit vs. risk level. This will ensure that you are maximizing your potential to get the most out of the strategy. You can adjust as you wish. Keep in mind that most successful strategies that identify breaks of a trend use a 1 to 3 profit vs. risk level.

DOUBLE DEATH CROSS STRATEGY WTI CRUDE STOCKApply these SMA Indicators on your chart - 50 - 100 - 200 Step #1: Wait for the 50-day EMA to cross below the 100-day EMA. The two moving averages also need to converge with the price action. If we get the crossover of the 50-day MA (blue line) and 100-day MA (orange line) at the same time the price is testing those moving averages, that’s the best-case situation for a trade because we can define the risk. The rule you need to keep in mind is that when the MAs converge with the price you have to get ready for the ride because it is going to get BUMPY! Step #2: Multiple entry strategy: Sell 1 when we close below 50-day MA and 100-day MA. Sell 2 when we break and close below 200-day MA. Using multiple entries to improve your average entry price can be the best way to approach the death cross signal. Scaling in to a position is our preferred trading method when looking to capture large price move in a currency pair. The fact that the price was near the death cross signal, it created a tension in the market that eventually will lead to a sharp move to the downside. We pull the trigger on the first half of the trade once we close below the 50-day and 100-day moving averages. If at the moment when the death cross developed we’re already trading slightly below the two moving averages, sell at the market the moment we close below. The second half of our position is entered once we break and close below the 200-day moving average. Note* it’s important to remember that the success of the death cross signal relays on this simple trade secret that price and the two moving averages needs to converge. Keep it simple stupid is not just a simple aphorism, but it’s an old truth that can make the difference between losing and making money trading. This brings us to the next important thing that we need to establish for our long-term trading strategy, which is where to place our protective stop loss. Step #3: Hide your protective Stop Loss above 50-day MA and 100-day MA The most important thing we need to define when trading is our risk. If you want to be a profitable trader you really need a limited risk. This is the type of death cross trades that we want to pull the trigger on. If the price were to move back above those moving averages, we can safely assume this is yet another false trade signal. In this trade case scenario, we’re risking a little and our reward is potentially much bigger. So, the best place to hide your protective stop loss is above the 50-day MA and 100-day MA. Step #4: Two-step process for the take profit strategy: Mark on your chart the high of the candle when the 50-day MA crossed below 200-day EMA. Take profit when this high is broken. Our take profit strategy might seem a little bit complex, but once we break down the steps you need to follow it will make more sense why we’ve chosen this approach. The first thing you have to do is to remember what we said in the beginning of the article which is that when the price doesn’t converge with the two MAs this is a death cross false signal. In our example below, we can observe this type of price action. Now all you have to do is to mark the high of the candle when the death cross happened and take profit as soon as the high gets broken. Note** the above was an example of a SELL trade using the death cross strategy. Use the same rules for a BUY trade – but in reverse, in which case we have the golden cross trading strategy.
