Trading idea for an upcoming breakout. Several day consolidation shows a big move is coming to the up or the downside. Which way? It's a 50:50 guess
So to trade it you can set stops and walk away.
Whichever one triggers, cancel the other and place your stoploss on the other side of the consolidation.
Having your stop-orders a little wider (e.g. don't enter the trade unless you clear the whole consolidation) will give you a worse entry but less chance of getting faked out

Trade still open. Switching to 1hr heiken ashi. We have a potential re-short building now.

Traed update, we only got one green candle before the dump. was not able to enter a second short, but the 'strategy' to sell breakdown of a Heiken Ashi candle would've entered short here with stop here
評論:
For the brave... a possible continuation is forming on 1-hour Heiken Ashi chart. I would prefer to see a bit more consolidation and upside before selling this but you don't aalways see it in a bear market

Trade is still in progress. The previous sell signal I did not take but it would've worked out great.
Looking at the weekly chart there is a confluence of support here.
- 50 Week SMA
- Downtrend line from previous wedge
- Near February lows
Might be a good take profit area

Unfortunately one cannot be awake 24/7 and overnight BTC came within inches of my profit target of 6556 and rebounded hard to 7200
In case we are reversing here I have moved my take profit stops down to 7370.

Using the Heiken Ashi method of identifying trend continuation we get pretty good entries into trades

Looking like gonna have to close this remaining 2/3 short soon if price breaks out up
交易進行:
... or am I?
交易進行:
2/3 of short is now closed. Watching for a possible reversal up to 7400 or continuation pattern.
It looks like a bearish continuation but experience shows these can break either way.
