What Is a Range?

Range play with price bouncing between defined boundaries

A range is a horizontal price zone where support and resistance are clearly defined. Price bounces between these boundaries, creating predictable oscillations.

The Titan Edge

Ranges bore most traders. They want action, movement, big wins. So they force trades when they should wait. The range player embraces boredom. They buy when others are selling at support. They sell when others are buying at resistance. They do this 3, 4, 5 times while waiting for the breakout. And when the breakout comes, they’re already positioned. That’s the edge. patience in a world of impatience.
