When trends sleep, ranges offer opportunity.
What is Range Trading?
Range trading capitalizes on sideways markets where price oscillates between established support and resistance levels.
Core Principles
1. Confirm the Range
Ranges require at least two touches of support and resistance. The more touches, the more reliable.
2. Buy Support, Sell Resistance
The simplest strategy is often the best. Enter near support with stops below.
3. Watch for Breakdown
All ranges eventually break. When they do, the move can be violent.
